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 the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
2 U ovome doista stenjemo i čeznemo da se povrh njega zaodjenemo svojim nebeskim obitavalištem;
For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
3 dakako, ako se nađemo obučeni, ne goli.
if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.
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.
For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 A zato nas je sazdao Bog - on koji nam dade zalog Duha.
Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
6 Uvijek smo stoga puni pouzdanja makar i znamo: naseljeni u tijelu, iseljeni smo od Gospodina.
Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
7 Ta u vjeri hodimo, ne u gledanju.
for we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 Da, puni smo pouzdanja i najradije bismo se iselili iz tijela i naselili kod Gospodina.
We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
9 Zato se i trsimo da mu omilimo, bilo naseljeni, bilo iseljeni.
Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
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 be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
11 Prožeti dakle strahom Gospodnjim uvjeravamo ljude; razotkriveni smo Bogu, a nadam se - i vašim savjestima.
Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God, and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
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.
For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
13 Doista, ako bijasmo “izvan sebe” - Bogu bijasmo; ako li “pri sebi” - vama bijasmo.
For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
14 Jer ljubav nas Kristova obuzima kad promatramo ovo: jedan za sve umrije, svi dakle umriješe;
For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.
15 i za sve umrije da oni koji žive ne žive više sebi, nego onomu koji za njih umrije i uskrsnu.
He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died 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 we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
17 Dakle, je li tko u Kristu, nov je stvor. Staro uminu, novo, gle, nasta!
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
18 A sve je od Boga koji nas sa sobom pomiri po Kristu i povjeri nam službu pomirenja.
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us 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.
namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Kristovi smo dakle poslanici; Bog vas po nama nagovara. Umjesto Krista zaklinjemo: dajte, pomirite se s Bogom!
We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
21 Njega koji ne okusi grijeha Bog za nas grijehom učini da mi budemo pravednost Božja u njemu.
For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
