2 Korinčanima 5
1 Znamo doista: ako se razruši naš zemaljski dom, šator, imamo zdanje od Boga, dom nerukotvoren, vječan na nebesima. (aiōnios g166)
For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal. (aiōnios g166)
2 U ovome doista stenjemo i čeznemo da se povrh njega zaodjenemo svojim nebeskim obitavalištem;
For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven--
3 dakako, ako se nađemo obučeni, ne goli.
if indeed having really put on a robe we shall not be found to be unclothed.
4 Da, i mi koji smo u ovom šatoru, stenjemo opterećeni jer nećemo da budemo svučeni, nego da se još obučemo da život iskapi što je smrtno.
Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.
5 A zato nas je sazdao Bog - on koji nam dade zalog Duha.
And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.
6 Uvijek smo stoga puni pouzdanja makar i znamo: naseljeni u tijelu, iseljeni smo od Gospodina.
We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;
7 Ta u vjeri hodimo, ne u gledanju.
for we are living a life of faith, and not one of sight.
8 Da, puni smo pouzdanja i najradije bismo se iselili iz tijela i naselili kod Gospodina.
So we have a cheerful confidence, and we anticipate with greater delight being banished from the body and going home to the Lord.
9 Zato se i trsimo da mu omilimo, bilo naseljeni, bilo iseljeni.
And for this reason also we make it our ambition, whether at home or in exile, to please Him perfectly.
10 Jer svima nam se pojaviti pred sudištem Kristovim da svaki dobije što je kroz tijelo zaradio, bilo dobro, bilo zlo.
For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.
11 Prožeti dakle strahom Gospodnjim uvjeravamo ljude; razotkriveni smo Bogu, a nadam se - i vašim savjestima.
Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.
12 Ne preporučujemo vam opet sami sebe, nego vam dajemo prigodu ponositi se nama, da imate odgovor za one koji se diče licem, a ne srcem.
We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.
13 Doista, ako bijasmo “izvan sebe” - Bogu bijasmo; ako li “pri sebi” - vama bijasmo.
For if we have been beside ourselves, it has been for God's glory; or if we are now in our right senses, it is in order to be of service to you.
14 Jer ljubav nas Kristova obuzima kad promatramo ovo: jedan za sve umrije, svi dakle umriješe;
For the love of Christ overmasters us, the conclusion at which we have arrived being this--that One having died for all, His death was their death,
15 i za sve umrije da oni koji žive ne žive više sebi, nego onomu koji za njih umrije i uskrsnu.
and that He died for all in order that the living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them and rose again.
16 Stoga mi od sada nikoga ne poznajemo po tijelu; ako smo i poznavali po tijelu Krista, sada ga tako više ne poznajemo.
Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.
17 Dakle, je li tko u Kristu, nov je stvor. Staro uminu, novo, gle, nasta!
So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.
18 A sve je od Boga koji nas sa sobom pomiri po Kristu i povjeri nam službu pomirenja.
And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and has appointed us to serve in the ministry of reconciliation.
19 Jer Bog je u Kristu svijet sa sobom pomirio ne ubrajajući im opačina njihovih i polažući u nas riječ pomirenja.
We are to tell how God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not charging men's transgressions to their account, and that He has entrusted to us the Message of this reconciliation.
20 Kristovi smo dakle poslanici; Bog vas po nama nagovara. Umjesto Krista zaklinjemo: dajte, pomirite se s Bogom!
On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God.
21 Njega koji ne okusi grijeha Bog za nas grijehom učini da mi budemo pravednost Božja u njemu.
He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.
