2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if our tent – that earthly body which is now our home – is taken down, we have a house of God’s building, a home not made by hands, imperishable, in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
Kajti vemo, da če bi naša zemeljska hiša tega šotorskega svetišča razpadla, imamo v nebesih večno Božjo stavbo, hišo ne narejeno z rokami. (aiōnios g166)
2 Even while in our present body we sigh, longing to put over it our heavenly house,
Kajti v tem stokamo in iskreno želimo, da bi se povrh odeli z našo hišo, ki je iz nebes;
3 sure that, when we have put it on, we will never be found naked.
če je tako, da ko bomo oblečeni, ne bi bili najdeni goli.
4 For we who are in this tent sigh under our burden, unwilling to take it off, yet wishing to put our heavenly body over it, so that all that is mortal may be absorbed in life.
Kajti mi, ki smo v tem šotoru, obteženi stokamo. Ne zato, ker hočemo biti neoblečeni, temveč oblečeni povrh, da bi bila umrljivost lahko požrta z življenjem.
5 And he who has prepared us for this change is God, who has also given us his Spirit as a pledge.
Torej kdor nas je naredil za točno isto stvar, je Bog, ki nam je dal tudi poroštvo Duha.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while our home is in the body, we are absent from our home with the Lord.
Torej smo vedno zaupljivi, ker vemo, da medtem ko smo doma v telesu, smo odsotni od Gospoda
7 For we guide our lives by faith, and not by what we see.
(kajti hodimo po veri, ne po pogledu).
8 And in this confidence we would gladly leave our home in the body, and make our home with the Lord.
Zaupljivi smo, pravim in voljni rajši biti odsotni iz telesa in biti prisotni z Gospodom.
9 Therefore, whether in our home or absent from our home, our one ambition is to please him.
Zatorej se trudimo, da bomo bodisi prisotni ali odsotni, lahko pri njem sprejeti.
10 For at the court of the Christ we must all appear in our true characters, so that each may reap the results of the life which he has lived in the body, in accordance with his actions – whether good or worthless.
Kajti vsi se moramo prikazati pred Kristusovim sodnim stolom, da bo vsakdo lahko prejel stvari, storjene v svojem telesu, glede na to, kar je storil, bodisi je to dobro ali slabo.
11 Therefore, because we know the fear inspired by the Lord, it is true that we are trying to win people over, but our motives are plain to God; and I hope that in your inmost hearts they are plain to you also.
Ker torej poznamo Gospodov strah, pregovarjamo ljudi; toda Bogu smo postali očitni; in zaupam tudi, [da] smo postali očitni v svojih vesteh.
12 We are not “commending ourselves” again to you, but rather are giving you cause for pride in us, so that you may have an answer ready for those who pride themselves on appearances and not on character.
Kajti ne priporočamo se vam ponovno, temveč vam dajemo priložnost, da ste zavoljo nas ponosni, da boste imeli nekaj, da odgovorite tem, ki se ponašajo na zunaj, ne pa v srcu.
13 For, if we were “beside ourselves,” it was in God’s service! If we are not in our senses, it is in yours!
Kajti če smo brez pameti, je to za Boga, ali če smo zdravega mišljenja, je to zaradi vaše stvari.
14 It is the love of the Christ which compels us, when we reflect that, as one died for all, therefore all died;
Kajti sili nas Kristusova ljubezen; ker tako sodimo, da če je eden umrl za vse, potem so bili mrtvi vsi.
15 and that he died for all, so that the living should no longer live for themselves, but for him who died and rose for them.
In da je umrl za vse, da tisti, ki živijo, odslej ne bi živeli več zase, temveč za tistega, ki je zanje umrl in ponovno vstal.
16 For ourselves, then, from this time forward, we refuse to regard anyone from the world’s standpoint. Even if we once thought of Christ from the standpoint of the world, yet now we do so no longer.
Zatorej odslej nobenega človeka ne poznamo po mesu. Da, četudi smo Kristusa poznali po mesu, ga vendarle sedaj ne poznamo več [po mesu].
17 Therefore, if anyone is in union with Christ, he is a new being! His old life has passed away; a new life has begun!
Torej, če je katerikoli človek v Kristusu, je novo ustvarjeno bitje. Stare stvari so minile; glejte, vse stvari so postale nove.
18 But all this is the work of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation –
In vse stvari so od Boga, ki nas je po Jezusu Kristusu spravil s seboj in nam dal službo pobotanja;
19 To proclaim that God, in Christ, was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning people’s offenses against them, and that he had entrusted us with the message of this reconciliation.
namreč, da je bil Bog v Kristusu, ko je svet pobotal s seboj, ker jim ni pripisal njihovih prekrškov, nam pa predal besedo sprave.
20 It is, then, on Christ’s behalf that we are acting as ambassadors, God, as it were, appealing to you through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf – Be reconciled to God.
Torej smo potem predstavniki za Kristusa, kakor da vas je po nas rotil Bog. Namesto Kristusa vas prosimo, bodite spravljeni z Bogom.
21 For our sake God made Christ, who was innocent of sin, one with our sinfulness, so that in him we might be made one with the righteousness of God.
Kajti njega, ki ni poznal greha, je zaradi nas storil, da postane greh, da bi mi lahko postali Božja pravičnost v njem.
