2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Messiah Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

Pavel, po Božji volji apostol Jezusa Kristusa, in naš brat Timótej Božji cerkvi, ki je v Korintu, z vsemi svetimi, ki so po vsej Ahaji:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

›Milost bodi vam in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.‹

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;

Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, celó Oče našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, Oče usmiljenj in Bog vse tolažbe,

4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

ki nas tolaži v vsaki naši stiski, da bomo sposobni tolažiti te, ki so v kakršnikoli težavi, s tolažbo, s katero smo mi sami potolaženi od Boga.

5 For as the sufferings of Messiah abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Messiah.

Kajti kakor so Kristusova trpljenja obilna v nas, tako je obilna tudi naša tolažba po Kristusu.

6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

Če pa smo stiskani, je to za vašo tolažbo in rešitev duš, ki je učinkovita v prestajanju istih trpljenj, ki jih tudi mi prenašamo; ali če smo potolaženi, je to zaradi vaše tolažbe in rešitve duš.

7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.

In naše upanje o vas je neomajno, vedoč, da kakor ste udeleženci trpljenj, tako boste postali tudi tolažbe.

8 For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

Kajti nočemo, bratje, da bi bili vi nevedni o naši težavi, ki je k nam prišla v Aziji, da smo bili stiskani preko mere, nad močjo, tako zelo, da smo obupali celó nad življenjem.

9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

Toda v sebi smo imeli smrtno obsodbo, da ne bi zaupali vase, temveč v Boga, ki obuja mrtve;

10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will also deliver us again;

ki nas je osvobodil iz tako velike smrti in še osvobaja; v katerega zaupamo, da nas bo še osvobajal.

11 you also helping together on our behalf by your petition; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.

Tudi vi skupaj pomagate z molitvijo za nas, da bi bila lahko zaradi daru, podarjenega nam, s pomočjo mnogih oseb, dana zahvala z naše strani.

12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

Kajti naše veselje je to, pričevanje naše vesti, da smo se v svetu vedli s preprostostjo in pobožno iskrenostjo, ne z meseno modrostjo, temveč z Božjo milostjo in bolj obilno posebej do vas.

13 For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will fully acknowledge;

Kajti ne pišemo vam nobenih drugih stvari, kakor kar berete ali spoznavate; in zaupam, da boste spoznali celó do konca;

14 as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

kakor ste nas tudi vi deloma spoznali, da smo mi vaše veselje, celó kakor ste tudi vi naše na dan Gospoda Jezusa.

15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;

V tem zaupanju sem bil voljan prej priti k vam, da bi vi lahko imeli dvojno korist;

16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

in mimo vas iti v Makedonijo in iz Makedonije ponovno priti k vam in bi bil od vas pospremljen na svoji poti proti Judeji.

17 When I therefore was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"

Ko sem bil torej takih misli, ali sem uporabil lahkomiselnost? Ali stvari, ki jih nameravam, nameravam storiti glede na meso, da bo z menoj »da, « »da« in »ne, « »ne«?

18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not "Yes and no."

Toda kakor je Bog resničen, naša beseda do vas ni bila »da« in »ne.«

19 For the Son of God, Jesus (the) Messiah, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."

Kajti Božji Sin, Jezus Kristus, ki je bil med vami oznanjen po nas, celó po meni in Silvánu ter Timóteju, ni bil »da« in »ne, « temveč je bil v njem »da.«

20 For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him they are "Amen," to the glory of God through us.

Kajti vse Božje obljube so v njem »da« in v njem »Amen« v Božjo slavo po nas.

21 Now he who establishes us with you in Messiah, and anointed us, is God;

Torej tisti, ki nas z vami utrjuje v Kristusu in nas je mazilil, je Bog;

22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

ki nas je tudi zapečatil in v naša srca dal poroštvo Duha.

23 But I call God as a witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

Poleg tega kličem Boga za pričo nad svojo dušo, da doslej še nisem prišel k vam v Korint, da bi vam prizanesel.

24 Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

Ne, ker bi imeli gospostvo nad vašo vero, temveč smo pomočniki vaše radosti; kajti stojite po veri.
