2 Corinthians 12
1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Ali hvaliti se mi ne pomaga, kajti prišel bom na prikazni in razodetja Gospodova.
2 I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.
Poznam človeka v Gospodu, kteri je bil pred štirinajstimi leti, (ali v telesu, ne vem, ali v duhu zvun telesa, ne vem, Bog ve, ) vzet noter v tretja nebesa;
3 I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
In vem takega človeka, (ali v telesu, ali zvun telesa, ne vem, Bog ve),
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Da je bil vzet v raj in je slišal neizrekljive besede, kterih ni smeti človeku pripovedati.
5 On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
S takim se bom hvalil, sam s seboj se pa ne bom hvalil, razen s slabostmi svojimi.
6 For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
Kajti ko bi se hotel pohvaliti, ne bil bi nespameten, ker bi resnico govoril; ali se varujem, da ne bi kdo pomislil za me več, kar vidi v meni, ali kar sliši za me.
7 By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
In da bi se v obilnosti razodetij ne prevzdigoval, dal se mi je trn v meso, angelj satan, da me za uho bije, da se ne povzdigujem.
8 Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
Zanj sem trikrat Gospoda molil, naj odstopi od mene,
9 He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
In dejal mi je: "Dosti ti je moja milost, kajti moč moja se v slabosti popolnoma pokazuje." Torej se bom rajši hvalil s svojimi slabostmi, da se ušatori v mé moč Kristusova.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
Za to sem dobre volje v slabostih, v zasrambah, v potrebah, v pregonih, v težavah za Kristusa; Kajti kedar sem slab, tedaj sem močen.
11 I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
Postal sem nespameten hvaleč se, vi ste me prisilili. Kajti mene bi morali vi hvaliti, ker nisem bil nič manjši od prevelikih aposteljnov, če ravno sem nič.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
Kajti znamenja aposteljna so se storila med vami v vsakem potrpljenji, v znamenjih in čudežih in močeh.
13 For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
Ker kaj je, v čemer ste bili manjši od drugih cérkev? Le da vas jaz sam nisem nadlegoval. Odpustite mi to krivico.
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Lej, tretjič sem pripravljen priti k vam in ne bom vas nadlegoval, kajti ne iščem, kar je vaše, nego vas, ker niso dolžni otroci roditeljem blago spravljati, nego roditelji otrokom.
15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
A jaz bom prav rad trosil ter se iztrošil za duše vaše, če me tudi, s čim obilneje vas ljubim, s tem manje ljubite.
16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
Ali naj bo, jaz vam nisem nadlege delal, nego zvit človek pridobil sem vas z zvijačo.
17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
Jeli sem vas po kterem teh, ktere sem k vam poslal, za kaj opravil?
18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?
Naprosil sem Tita in ž njim poslal brata; jeli vas je Tit za kaj opravil? nismo li v enem duhu hodili? ne po enih stopinjah?
19 Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
Zopet mislite, da vam se zagovarjamo? pričo Boga v Kristusu govorimo; a vse to je, ljubljeni, za vaše zbujevanje v pobožnosti.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
Kajti bojim se, da vas kako, kedar k vam pridem, ne najdem kakoršne hočem, in da mene najdete, kakoršnega ne čete; da kako ne bo prepirov, zavisti, srdov, svaj, ogovarjanja, prišepetovanja, napihovanja, puntov;
21 that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
Da me, kedar zopet pridem, ne poniža Bog moj pri vas, in da ne bom žalostil mnogih, kteri so poprej grešili in se niso pokesali za nečistost in kurbirstvo in hotljivost, ktero so počeli.
