2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Imajuæi dakle ovaka obeæanja, o ljubazni! da oèistimo sebe od svake poganštine tijela i duha, i da tvorimo svetinju u strahu Božijemu.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Primite nas, nikome ne uèinismo nažao, nikoga ne pokvarismo, nikoga ne zanesosmo.
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.
Ne govorim na osuðenje, jer prije rekoh da ste u srcima našijem, da bih s vama i umro i življeo.
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.
Vrlo slobodno govorim k vama, mnogo se hvalim vama, napunio sam se utjehe, izobilan sam radošæu pored sviju briga našijeh.
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.
Jer kad doðosmo u Maæedoniju, nikaka mira nemaše tijelo naše, nego u svemu bijaše u nevolji: spolja borbe, iznutra strah.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
Ali Bog, koji tješi ponižene, utješi nas dolaskom Titovijem.
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.
A ne samo dolaskom njegovijem, nego i utjehom kojom se on utješi za vas kazujuæi vašu želju, vaše plakanje, vaše staranje za mene, tako da se još veæma obradovah.
8 For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.
Jer ako sam vas i ražalio poslanicom, ne kajem se, ako se i bijah raskajao: jer vidim da ona poslanica, ako i za malo, ražali vas.
9 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
Ali se sad radujem, ne što biste žalosni, nego što se ožalostiste na pokajanje: jer se ožalostiste po Bogu, da od nas ni u èemu ne štetujete.
10 For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.
Jer žalost koja je po Bogu donosi za spasenije pokajanje, za koje se nigda ne kaje; a žalost ovoga svijeta smrt donosi.
11 For look at this very thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way. What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what vindication. In everything you proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
Jer, gle, ovo samo što se po Bogu ožalostiste, koliko uèini staranje meðu vama? kakovo pravdanje, kaku nepovoljnost, kakav strah, kaku želju, kaku revnost, kaku osvetu? U svemu pokazaste se da ste èisti u djelu.
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.
Jer ako vam i pisah, ne onoga radi koji je skrivio, niti onoga radi kome je krivo uèinjeno, nego da se pokaže meðu vama staranje naše za vas pred Bogom.
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.
Zato se utješismo utjehom vašom; a još se veæma obradovasmo radosti Titovoj, jer vi svi umiriste duh njegov.
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.
Jer što sam mu se za vas pohvalio, nijesam se posramio; nego kako je sve istina što govorismo vama, tako i pohvala naša k Titu istinita bi.
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
I srce je njegovo puno ljubavi k vama kad se opominje poslušanja sviju vas, kako ste ga sa strahom i drktanjem primili.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
Radujem se dakle što se u svemu smijem osloniti na vas.
