2 Korinčanima 13
1 Evo treći put idem k vama. Svaka presuda neka počiva na iskazu dvojice ili trojice svjedoka.
This is the third time I am coming to you. "At the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be established."
2 Onima koji su prije sagriješili i svima drugima rekoh već i opet - kao onda drugi put nazočan, tako i sada nenazočan - unaprijed velim: ako opet dođem, neću štedjeti.
I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
3 Jer vi tražite dokaz da u meni govori Krist koji prema vama nije nemoćan, nego je snažan među vama.
seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.
4 I raspet bi, istina, po slabosti, ali živi po snazi Božjoj. I mi smo, istina, slabi u njemu, ali ćemo po snazi Božjoj živjeti s njime za vas.
For indeed he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
5 Same sebe ispitujte, jeste li u vjeri! Same sebe provjeravajte! Zar ne spoznajete sami sebe: da je Isus Krist u vama? Inače niste pravi.
Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or do you not know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
6 A spoznat ćete, nadam se, da smo mi pravi.
But I hope that you will know that we are not disqualified.
7 Molimo se Bogu da ne činite nikakva zla; ne da se mi pokažemo pravi, nego da vi dobro činite, pa izašli mi i kao nepravi.
Now we pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.
8 Ta ništa ne možemo protiv istine, nego samo za istinu.
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 Da, radujemo se kad smo mi slabi, a vi jaki. Za to se i molimo, za vaše usavršavanje.
For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.
10 To vam nenazočan pišem zato da nazočan ne bih morao oštro nastupiti vlašću koju mi Gospodin dade za izgrađivanje, a ne za rušenje.
For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.
11 Uostalom, braćo, radujte se, usavršujte se, tješite se, složni budite, mir njegujte i Bog ljubavi i mira bit će s vama.
Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
12 Pozdravite jedni druge svetim cjelovom.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
13 Pozdravljaju vas svi sveti.
All the saints greet you.
14 Milost Gospodina Isusa Krista, ljubav Boga i zajedništvo Duha Svetoga sa svima vama!
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
