2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
O da biste malo potrpljeli moje bezumlje! no i potrpite me.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
Jer revnujem za vas Božijom revnosti, jer vas obrekoh mužu jednome, da djevojku èistu izvedem pred Hrista.
3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Ali se bojim da kako kao što zmija Evu prevari lukavstvom svojijem tako i razumi vaši da se ne odvrate od prostote koja je u Hristu.
4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
Jer ako onaj koji dolazi drugoga Isusa propovijeda kojega mi ne propovijedasmo, ili drugoga Duha primite kojega ne primiste, ili drugo jevanðelje koje ne primiste, dobro biste potrpljeli.
5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Jer mislim da ni u èemu nijesam manji od prevelikijeh apostola.
6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
Jer ako sam i prostak u rijeèi, ali u razumu nijesam. No u svemu smo poznati meðu vama.
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
Ili grijeh uèinih ponižujuæi sebe da se vi povisite? Jer vam zabadava Božije jevanðelje propovjedih.
8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Od drugijeh crkava oteh uzevši platu za služenje vama; i došavši k vama, i bivši u sirotinji, ne dosadih nikome.
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
Jer moju sirotinju potpuniše braæa koja doðoše iz Maæedonije, i u svemu bez dosade vama sebe držah i držaæu.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Kao što je istina Hristova u meni tako se hvala ova neæe uzeti od mene u Ahajskijem krajevima.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
Zašto? Što vas ne ljubim? Bog zna. A što èinim i èiniæu,
12 But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognized just like us.
Da otsijeèem uzrok onima koji traže uzrok, da bi u onome èim se hvale našli se kao i mi.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
Jer takovi lažni apostoli i prevarljivi poslenici pretvaraju se u apostole Hristove.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
I nije èudo, jer se sam sotona pretvara u anðela svijetla.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Nije dakle ništa veliko ako se i sluge njegove pretvaraju kao sluge pravde, kojima æe svršetak biti po djelima njihovijem.
16 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
Opet velim da niko ne pomisli da sam ja bezuman; ako li ne, a ono barem kao bezumna primite me, da se i ja što pohvalim.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
A što govorim ne govorim po Gospodu, nego kao u bezumlju, u ovoj struci hvale.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Buduæi da se mnogi hvale po tijelu, i ja æu da se hvalim.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Jer ljubazno primate bezumne kad ste sami mudri.
20 For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on the face.
Jer primate ako vas ko natjera da budete sluge, ako vas ko jede, ako ko uzme, ako vas ko po obrazu bije, ako se ko velièa.
21 To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
Na sramotu govorim, jer kao da mi oslabismo. Na što je ko slobodan po bezumlju govorim i ja sam slobodan.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
Jesu li Jevreji? i ja sam; jesu li Izrailjci? i ja sam; jesu li sjeme Avraamovo? i ja sam;
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
Jesu li sluge Hristove? ne govorim po mudrosti) ja sam još više. Više sam se trudio, više sam boja podnio, više puta sam bio u tamnici, mnogo puta sam dolazio do straha smrtnoga;
24 Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
Od Jevreja primio sam pet puta èetrdeset manje jedan udarac;
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
Triput sam bio šiban, jednom su kamenje bacali na me, tri puta se laða sa mnom razbijala, noæ i dan proveo sam u dubini morskoj.
26 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
Mnogo puta sam putovao, bio sam u strahu na vodama, u strahu od hajduka, u strahu od rodbine, u strahu od neznabožaca, u strahu u gradovima, u strahu u pustinji, u strahu na moru, u strahu meðu lažnom braæom;
27 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
U trudu i poslu, u mnogom nespavanju, u gladovanju i žeði, u mnogom pošæenju, u zimi i golotinji;
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
Osim što je spolja, navaljivanje ljudi svaki dan, i briga za sve crkve.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?
Ko oslabi, i ja da ne oslabim? Ko se sablazni, i ja da se ne raspalim?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
Ako mi se valja hvaliti, svojom æu se slabošæu hvaliti.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)
Bog i otac Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista, koji je blagosloven vavijek, zna da ne lažem. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
U Damasku neznabožaèki knez cara Arete èuvaše grad Damask i šæaše da me uhvati;
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
i kroz prozor spustiše me u kotarici preko zida, i izbjegoh iz njegovijeh ruku.
