2 Korinčanima 7

1 Dakle, budući da imamo ta obećanja, očistimo se, ljubljeni, od svake ljage tijela i duha te dovršimo posvećenje u strahu Božjemu.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Shvatite nas! Nikomu nismo nanijeli nepravde, nikoga nismo upropastili, nikoga zakinuli.

Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.

3 Ne govorim da osudim. Ta rekoh već: u srcima ste našim te umiremo i živimo zajedno.

I say it not to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together.

4 Veliko je moje pouzdanje u vas, uvelike se vama ponosim. Pun sam utjehe, obilujem radošću uza svu nevolju našu.

Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

5 Doista, i kada dođosmo u Makedoniju, nikakva spokoja nije imalo tijelo naše, nego nevolje odasvud: izvana borbe, iznutra strepnje.

For even when we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but [we were] afflicted on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears.

6 Ali Bog, tješitelj poniznih, utješi nas dolaskom Titovim.

Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, [even] God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

7 Ne samo dolaskom njegovim, nego i utjehom kojom se utješi zbog vas: obavijesti nas o vašoj čežnji, vašem jadikovanju, vašoj žarkoj ljubavi prema meni tako da se još većma obradovah.

and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more.

8 Doista, ako sam vas i ožalostio onom poslanicom, nije mi žao; ako mi i bijaše žao - vidim uistinu da vas je ta poslanica makar i načas ožalostila -

For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret [it] (for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),

9 sad se radujem, ne što ste se ožalostili, nego što ste se ožalostili na obraćenje. Jer ožalostili ste se po Božju te zbog nas ni u čemu niste štetovali.

I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.

10 Jer žalost po Božju rađa neopozivo spasonosnim obraćenjem, a žalost svjetovna rađa smrću.

For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

11 Gle, doista baš to što ste se po Božju ožalostili, kolikom gorljivošću urodi među vama, pa opravdavanjem, pa ogorčenjem, pa strahom, pa čežnjom, pa revnošću, pa kažnjavanjem. Svime ste time pokazali da ste u onome nedužni.

For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

12 Ako sam vam dakle pisao, nisam to zbog uvreditelja ni zbog uvrijeđenoga, nego zbog toga da vam se očituje vaša gorljivost za nas pred Bogom.

So although I wrote unto 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 made manifest unto you in the sight of God.

13 To nas je utješilo. A povrh te naše utjehe još se mnogo više obradovasmo zbog radosti Titove jer svi vi okrijepiste duh njegov.

Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.

14 Doista, ako sam mu se što vama pohvalio, ne postidjeh se, nego kao što smo po istini vama govorili, tako je istina bila i pohvala naša pred Titom.

For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

15 I njegovo je srce prema vama još nježnije kad se sjeti poslušnosti svih vas, kako ga sa strahom i trepetom primiste.

And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

16 Radujem se što se u svemu mogu pouzdati u vas.

I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
