2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore, these, promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in 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 Give place to us! no one, have we wronged, no one, have we corrupted, no one, have we defrauded.
Primite nas, nikome ne uèinismo nažao, nikoga ne pokvarismo, nikoga ne zanesosmo.
3 Unto condemnation, I am not saying [this], for I have before said—In our hearts, are ye, to the end we may 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 freedom of speech towards you, great, is my boasting in behalf of you: I am filled with the encouragement, I am greatly superabounding with the joy, in all our tribulation.
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 came into Macedonia, no relief at all, had our flesh; but, in every way, were we in tribulation, —without, fightings! within, fears!
Jer kad doðosmo u Maæedoniju, nikaka mira nemaše tijelo naše, nego u svemu bijaše u nevolji: spolja borbe, iznutra strah.
6 But, he who encourageth them that are brought low, encouraged us, —even God, —by the presence of Titus.
Ali Bog, koji tješi ponižene, utješi nas dolaskom Titovijem.
7 Not, however, by his presence alone, but also by the encouragement wherewith he had been encouraged over you: recounting unto us your earnest desire, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf. So that I the more rejoiced.
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 Because, if I even grieved you by the letter, I do not regret, —though I could even have regretted, —I see that that letter, if even for an hour, did cause you grief.
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 Now, am I rejoicing, —not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved unto repentance; for ye were grieved according to God, in order that, in nothing, should ye receive damage from us.
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, grief according to God, worketh, repentance unto salvation, not to be regretted; although, the grieving of the world, worketh, 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 lo! this very thing—the being caused to grieve, according to God: —what manner of diligence it wrought out in you, —nay! defence, —nay! sore displeasure, —nay! fear, —nay! earnest desire, —nay! jealousy, —nay! avenging. In every way, ye shewed yourselves to be, chaste, in the 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 Hence, if I even wrote unto you, it was not for the sake of him that did the wrong, [nay] not even for the sake of him that suffered the wrong; but for the sake of your earnestness, which was on our account, being made manifest unto you, before 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 For this cause, have we received encouragement. In addition to our encouragement, however, much more abundantly, have we rejoiced over the joy of Titus, —that his spirit hath received refreshment from you all,
Zato se utješismo utjehom vašom; a još se veæma obradovasmo radosti Titovoj, jer vi svi umiriste duh njegov.
14 That, if in anything—unto him—in your behalf—I have boasted, I have not been put to shame; but, as, all things, in truth, we told you, so, even our boasting before Titus, turned out 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 And, his tender affections, are, much more abundantly towards you, when he calleth to mind the obedience, of you all, —how, with fear and trembling, ye gave him welcome.
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 respecting you.
Radujem se dakle što se u svemu smijem osloniti na vas.
