2 Corinthians 13
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. "At the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be established."
To je tretjič, [da] prihajam k vam. Po ustih dveh ali treh prič bo ugotovljena vsaka beseda.
2 I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
Povedal sem vam že nekoč in vam drugič napovedujem, kakor če bi bil prisoten; in sedaj odsoten pišem tem, ki so poprej grešili in vsem drugim, da če ponovno pridem, ne bom prizanašal.
3 seeing that you seek a proof of Messiah who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.
Ker iščete dokaz, da Kristus govori v meni, ki posebej do vas ni slaboten, temveč je v vas mogočen.
4 For indeed he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
Kajti čeprav je bil križan zaradi slabosti, vendarle živi z Božjo močjo. Kajti tudi mi smo šibki v njem, toda z Božjo močjo bomo živeli z njim za vas.
5 Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or do you not know as to your own selves, that Jesus (the) Messiah is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
Izprašajte se, ali ste v veri. Preizkusite se. Ali se ne poznate, da je Jezus Kristus v vas, razen če ste zavrženi?
6 But I hope that you will know that we are not disqualified.
Toda zaupam, da boste spoznali, da mi nismo zavrženi.
7 Now we pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.
Sedaj molim k Bogu, da ne storite nobenega zla; ne da bi se mi izkazali potrjene, temveč da bi vi storili to, kar je pošteno, čeprav smo mi kakor zavrženi.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
Kajti ničesar ne moremo storiti proti resnici, temveč za resnico.
9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.
Kajti veseli smo, ko smo mi slabotni, vi pa močni; in to tudi želimo, celó vašo popolnost.
10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.
Zatorej pišem te stvari v odsotnosti, da ne bi navzoč uporabil ostrine, glede na oblast, ki mi jo je Gospod dal za izgrajevanje in ne za uničenje.
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Končno, bratje, zbogom. Bodite popolni, bodite dobro potolaženi, bodite enega mišljenja, živite v miru; in z vami bo Bog ljubezni in miru.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Pozdravite drug drugega s svetim poljubom.
13 All the saints greet you.
Pozdravljajo vas vsi sveti.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
Milost Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in Božja ljubezen in soudeležba Svetega Duha bodi z vami vsemi. Amen. [Druga poslanica Korinčanom je bila napisana iz Filipov, mesta v Makedoniji, po Titu in Luku.]
