2 Corinthians 11
1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
Bog daj, da bi lahko z menoj malo zdržali v moji neumnosti, in zares potrpite z menoj.
2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to 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 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in 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 he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news” which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.
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 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
Kajti domnevam, da nisem bil niti malo za zelo vodilnimi apostoli.
6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
Toda čeprav sem grob v govoru, pa nisem v spoznanju; toda med vami smo se temeljito razodeli v vseh stvareh.
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?
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 assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
Odvzel sem drugim cerkvam in od njih jemal plačila, da vam storim uslugo.
9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
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 the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
Kakor je Kristusova resnica v meni, me v področjih Ahaje noben človek ne bo ustavil v tem bahanju.
11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.
Zakaj? Ker vas ne ljubim? Bog ve.
12 But what I do, that I will continue to do, that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity, that in which they boast, they may be recognized just like us.
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 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.
Kajti takšni so lažni apostoli, varljivi delavci, ki se prenarejajo v Kristusove apostole.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
In nič čudnega; kajti sam Satan se prenareja v angela svetlobe.
15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
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 foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
Ponovno pravim: ›Naj me noben človek nima za bedaka; če drugače, me vendar sprejmite kakor bedaka, da se bom lahko malce bahal.
17 That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
To, kar govorim, tega ne govorim po Gospodu, temveč kakor bi bilo nespametno v tem zaupanju bahanja.
18 Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
Ker pa se mnogi ponašajo po mesu, se bom tudi jaz ponašal.
19 For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
Kajti z veseljem trpite bedake, ker ste vi sami modri.
20 For you bear with a man if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, or if he strikes you on 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 To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
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 the offspring 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? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
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 forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
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 suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day 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 I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
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 in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
v utrujenostih in bolestih, v pogostih bedenjih, v lakoti in žeji, v pogostih postih, v mrazu in nagoti.
28 Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
Poleg teh stvari, ki so zunanje, to, kar dnevno prihaja nadme, [še] skrb za vse cerkve.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn 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 the things that concern 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 Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie. (aiōn g165)
Bog in Oče našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, ki je blagoslovljen na vékomaj, ve, da ne lažem. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me.
V Damasku je voditelj pod kraljem Arétom z garnizijo zastražil mesto Damaščanov, željan, da me zgrabi,
33 I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.
pa sem bil skozi okno v košu spuščen dol ob zidu in pobegnil njegovim rokam.‹
