2 Corinthians 11
1 I could wish that you would tolerate a little folly in me! But indeed you do tolerate me.
Bog daj, da bi lahko z menoj malo zdržali v moji neumnosti, in zares potrpite z menoj.
2 I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God. For I promised you in marriage as a pure bride, to one husband – the Christ.
Kajti nad vami sem ljubosumen z bogaboječo ljubosumnostjo, kajti zaročil sem vas z enim soprogom, da vas lahko kakor čiste device predstavim Kristusu.
3 Yet I fear that it may turn out that, just as the snake by his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may have lost the loyalty and purity due from you to the Christ.
Toda bojim se, da ne bi bila na kakršenkoli način, kakor je kača s svojo premetenostjo preslepila Evo, tudi vaša mišljenja pokvarjena proč od preprostosti, ki je v Kristusu.
4 For, if some newcomer is proclaiming a Jesus other than him whom we proclaimed, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the Spirit which you received, or a good news different from that which you welcomed, then you are marvelously tolerant!
Kajti če tisti, ki prihaja, oznanja drugega Jezusa, ki ga nismo oznanili ali če sprejmete drugega duha, ki ga niste prejeli ali drug evangelij, ki ga niste sprejeli, bi bili mogoče z njim prizanesljivi.
5 I do not regard myself as in any way inferior to the most eminent apostles!
Kajti domnevam, da nisem bil niti malo za zelo vodilnimi apostoli.
6 Though I am no trained orator, yet I am not without knowledge; indeed we made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
Toda čeprav sem grob v govoru, pa nisem v spoznanju; toda med vami smo se temeljito razodeli v vseh stvareh.
7 Perhaps you say that I did wrong in humbling myself that you might be exalted – I mean because I told you God’s good news without payment.
Ali sem zagrešil prestopek s poniževanjem samega sebe, da bi bili vi lahko povišani, ker sem vam brez plačila oznanil Božji evangelij?
8 I robbed other churches by taking pay from them, so that I might serve you!
Odvzel sem drugim cerkvam in od njih jemal plačila, da vam storim uslugo.
9 And, when I was with you in need, I did not become a burden to any of you; for our friends, on coming from Macedonia, supplied my needs. I kept myself, and will keep myself from being an expense to you in any way.
In ko sem bil prisoten z vami in trpel pomanjkanje, nisem bil v breme nobenemu človeku, kajti to, kar mi je primanjkovalo, so preskrbeli bratje, ki so prišli iz Makedonije. In v vseh stvareh sem se varoval pred tem, da bi vam bil v breme in tako se bom varoval.
10 As surely as I know anything of the truth of Christ, this boast, as far as I am concerned, will not be stopped in any part of Greece.
Kakor je Kristusova resnica v meni, me v področjih Ahaje noben človek ne bo ustavil v tem bahanju.
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do!
Zakaj? Ker vas ne ljubim? Bog ve.
12 What I am doing now I will continue to do in order to cut away the ground from under those who are wishing for some ground for attacking me, so that as regards the thing of which they boast they may appear in their true characters, just as we do.
Toda kar delam, to bom delal, da bom lahko odsekal priložnost pred temi, ki želijo priložnost; da bodo, v čemer se ponašajo, lahko najdeni kakor mi.
13 Such people are false apostles, treacherous workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ!
Kajti takšni so lažni apostoli, varljivi delavci, ki se prenarejajo v Kristusove apostole.
14 And no wonder; for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
In nič čudnega; kajti sam Satan se prenareja v angela svetlobe.
15 It is not surprising, therefore, if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. But their end will be in accordance with their actions.
Torej ni nič posebnega, če so tudi njegovi služabniki prenarejeni kakor služabniki pravičnosti, katerih konec bo glede na njihova dela.
16 I say again – Let no one think me a fool! Yet, if you do, at least welcome me as you would a fool, so that I, too may indulge in a little boasting.
Ponovno pravim: ›Naj me noben človek nima za bedaka; če drugače, me vendar sprejmite kakor bedaka, da se bom lahko malce bahal.
17 When I speak like this, I am not speaking as the Master would, but as a fool might, in boasting so confidently.
To, kar govorim, tega ne govorim po Gospodu, temveč kakor bi bilo nespametno v tem zaupanju bahanja.
18 As so many are boasting of earthly things, I, too, will boast.
Ker pa se mnogi ponašajo po mesu, se bom tudi jaz ponašal.
19 For all your cleverness, you tolerate fools willingly enough!
Kajti z veseljem trpite bedake, ker ste vi sami modri.
20 You tolerate a person even when they enslave you, when they plunder you, when they get you into their power, when they put on airs of superiority, when they strike you in the face!
Kajti trpite, če vas človek privleče v suženjstvo, če vas človek požira, če od vas človek jemlje, če človek sebe povišuje, če vas človek udari po obrazu.
21 I admit, to my shame, that we have been weak. But whatever the subject on which others are not afraid to boast – though it is foolish to say so – I am not afraid either!
Govorim glede graje, kakor bi bili šibki. Čeprav v čemer je kdorkoli drzen (govorim nespametno), sem tudi sam drzen.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I! Are they Israelites? So am I! Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I!
Ali so Hebrejci? Tudi jaz sem. Ali so Izraelci? Tudi jaz sem. Ali so Abrahamovo seme? Tudi jaz sem.
23 Are they ‘Servants of Christ’? Though it is madness to talk like this, I am more so than they! I have had more of toil, more of imprisonment! I have been flogged times without number. I have been often at death’s door.
Ali so Kristusovi služabniki? (Govorim kakor bedak.) Jaz sem bolj; obilnejši v naporih, nad mero pri bičanjih, pogosteje v ječah, često v smrtnih nevarnostih.
24 Five times I received at the hands of my own people forty lashes, all but one.
Od Judov sem petkrat prejel štirideset udarcev z bičem, izvzemši enega.
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a whole day and night in the deep.
Trikrat sem bil pretepen s šibami, enkrat sem bil kamnan, trikrat sem pretrpel brodolom, noč in dan sem bil na globokem morju;
26 My journeys have been many. I have been through dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in towns, dangers in the country, dangers on the sea, dangers among people pretending to be followers of the Lord.
pogosto na potovanjih, v nevarnostih od vodá, v nevarnostih od roparjev, v nevarnostih od svojih lastnih rojakov, v nevarnostih od poganov, v nevarnostih v mestu, v nevarnostih v divjini, v nevarnostih na morju, v nevarnostih med lažnivimi brati;
27 I have been through toil and hardship. I have passed many a sleepless night; I have endured hunger and thirst; I have often been without food; I have known cold and nakedness.
v utrujenostih in bolestih, v pogostih bedenjih, v lakoti in žeji, v pogostih postih, v mrazu in nagoti.
28 And, not to speak of other things, there is my daily burden of anxiety about all the churches.
Poleg teh stvari, ki so zunanje, to, kar dnevno prihaja nadme, [še] skrb za vse cerkve.
29 Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led astray without my burning with indignation?
Kdo je slaboten in jaz nisem slaboten? Kdo je užaljen in jaz ne gorim?
30 If I must boast, I will boast of things which show my weakness!
Če se moram nujno ponašati, se bom ponašal s stvarmi, ki se tičejo mojih slabotnosti.
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus – he who is for ever blessed – knows that I am speaking the truth. (aiōn g165)
Bog in Oče našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, ki je blagoslovljen na vékomaj, ve, da ne lažem. (aiōn g165)
32 When I was in Damascus, the Governor under King Aretas had the gates of that city guarded, so as to arrest me,
V Damasku je voditelj pod kraljem Arétom z garnizijo zastražil mesto Damaščanov, željan, da me zgrabi,
33 but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
pa sem bil skozi okno v košu spuščen dol ob zidu in pobegnil njegovim rokam.‹
