2 Korinčanima 13
1 Evo treći put idem k vama. Svaka presuda neka počiva na iskazu dvojice ili trojice svjedoka.
This third time, am I coming unto you: —at the mouth of two witnesses, or three, shall every matter 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 do say beforehand, —as present the second time, although now absent, unto them who before sinned, and unto 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.
Since, a test, ye are seeking, of the speaking in me of Christ; —who, unto 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, although he was crucified through weakness, yet is he living through God’s power, —for, although, we, are weak in him, yet shall we live with him, through God’s power [unto us]—
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.
Be trying, yourselves, whether ye are in the faith, be putting, yourselves, to the test! Or do ye not recognise yourselves, seeing that, Jesus Christ, is in you, —unless perhaps ye fail in the testing.
6 A spoznat ćete, nadam se, da smo mi pravi.
I hope, however, that ye shall come to know, that, we, fail not in the testing!
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.
But we pray unto God, that ye may do nothing base, —not that, we, may appear, accepted, but that, ye, the honourable thing, may be doing, even though, we, should be, as it were, rejected;
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—whensoever, we, are weak, and, ye, are, strong. This, also we pray for—your restoration: —
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, these things, while absent, am I writing, that I may not, when present, deal sharply—according to the authority which, the Lord, hath given me, for building up and not for pulling down.
11 Uostalom, braćo, radujte se, usavršujte se, tješite se, složni budite, mir njegujte i Bog ljubavi i mira bit će s vama.
Finally, brethren, farewell! Be getting restored, be taking encouragement, be of one mind, live in peace, —and, the God of love and peace, will be with you.
12 Pozdravite jedni druge svetim cjelovom.
Salute ye one another with a holy kiss.
13 Pozdravljaju vas svi sveti.
All the saints, salute you.
14 Milost Gospodina Isusa Krista, ljubav Boga i zajedništvo Duha Svetoga sa svima vama!
The favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
