2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Имајући, дакле, оваква обећања, о љубазни! Да очистимо себе од сваке поганштине тела и духа, и да творимо светињу у страху Божијем.
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
Примите нас, ником не учинисмо нажао, никога не покварисмо, никога не занесосмо.
3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
Не говорим на осуђење, јер пре рекох да сте у срцима нашим, да бих с вама и умро и живео.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
Врло слободно говорим к вама, много се хвалим вама, напунио сам се утехе, изобилан сам радошћу поред свих брига наших.
5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
Јер кад дођосмо у Македонију, никакав мир немаше тело наше, него у свему беше у невољи: споља борбе, изнутра страх.
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
Али Бог, који теши понижене, утеши нас доласком Титовим.
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
А не само доласком његовим, него и утехом којом се он утеши за вас казујући вашу жељу, ваше плакање, ваше страдање за мене, тако да се још већма обрадовах.
8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
Јер ако сам вас и ражалио посланицом, не кајем се, ако се и бејах раскајао: јер видим да она посланица, ако и за мало, ражали вас.
9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
Али се сад радујем, не што бисте жалосни, него што се ожалостисте на покајање: јер се ожалостисте по Богу, да од нас ни у чему не штетујете.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
Јер жалост која је по Богу доноси за спасење покајање, за које се никада не каје; а жалост овог света смрт доноси.
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
Јер, гле, ово само што се по Богу ожалостисте, колико учини старање међу вама? Какво правдање, какву неповољност, какав страх, какву жељу, какву ревност, какву освету? У свему показасте се да сте чисти у делу.
12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
Јер ако вам и писах, не овог ради који је скривио, нити оног ради коме је криво учињено, него да се покаже међу вама старање наше за вас пред Богом.
13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
Зато се утешисмо утехом вашом; а још се већма обрадовасмо радости Титовој, јер ви сви умиристе дух његов.
14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
Јер што сам му се за вас похвалио, нисам се посрамио; него како је све истина што говорисмо вама, тако и похвала наша к Титу истинита би.
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
И срце је његово пуно љубави к вама кад се опомиње послушања свих вас, како сте га са страхом и дрхтањем примили.
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
Радујем се, дакле, што се у свему смем ослонити на вас.
