2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Ker imamo torej te obljube, srčno ljubljeni, se očistimo pred vso umazanijo mesa in duha ter v strahu Božjem dovršujmo svetost.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Sprejmite nas; nikomur nismo storili krivice, nobenega človeka nismo pokvarili, nobenega človeka nismo ogoljufali.
3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
Tega ne govorim, da vas obsodim, kajti prej sem rekel, da ste v naših srcih, da z vami umremo in živimo.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Velika je moja drznost govora do vas, veliko je moje ponašanje glede vas. Napolnjen sem s tolažbo, silno radosten v vsej naši stiski.
5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
Kajti ko smo prišli v Makedonijo, naše meso ni imelo počitka, temveč smo bili stiskani na vsaki strani; zunaj so bili boji, znotraj so bili strahovi.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
Kljub temu nas je Bog, ki tolaži te, ki so potrti, potolažil s Titovim prihodom;
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
pa ne samo z njegovim prihodom, temveč s tolažbo, s katero je bil potolažen med vami, ko nam je pripovedoval vašo iskreno željo, vaše žalovanje, vaše goreče mišljenje do mene; tako, da sem se tem bolj veselil.
8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
Kajti čeprav sem vas s pismom užalostil, se ne kesam, čeprav sem se kesal; kajti zaznavam, da vas je ista poslanica užalostila, čeprav je bilo to samo za nekaj časa.
9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
Sedaj se veselim, ne da ste bili užaloščeni, temveč da ste [bili] užaloščeni do kesanja. Kajti užaloščeni ste bili na bogaboječ način, da od nas v ničemer ne bi prejeli škode.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
Kajti bogaboječa žalost opravlja kesanje v rešitev duše, ki se je ne bomo kesali, toda svetna žalost ustvarja smrt.
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Kajti glejte to točno isto stvar, da ste bili užaloščeni na bogaboječ način, kakšno skrbnost je to storilo v vas, da, kakšno čiščenje vas samih, da, kakšno ogorčenost, da, kakšen strah, da, kakšno silovito hrepenenje, da, kakšno gorečnost, da, kakšno maščevanje! V vseh stvareh ste sebe potrdili, da ste v tej zadevi čisti.
12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
Zatorej čeprav sem vam pisal, sem to storil ne zaradi razloga tistega, ki je storil krivico niti zaradi razloga tistega, ki je trpel krivico, temveč, da se vam lahko pokaže naša skrb za vas v Božjih očeh.
13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
Torej smo bili potolaženi v vaši tolažbi. Da in silno bolj smo se veselili zaradi Titovega veselja, ker je bil po vas vseh njegov duh okrepčan.
14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
Kajti če sem se mu kakorkoli bahal z vami, nisem osramočen; temveč kakor smo vam govorili vse stvari v resnici, se je celó tako naše bahanje, ki sem ga storil pred Titom, izkazalo [za] resnično.
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
In njegova notranja strast je do vas obilnejša, medtem ko se spominja poslušnosti vas vseh, kako ste ga sprejeli s strahom in trepetanjem.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
Veselim se torej, da imam v vas zaupanje v vseh stvareh.
