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.
Make room for us; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.
3 Ne govorim da osudim. Ta rekoh već: u srcima ste našim te umiremo i živimo zajedno.
I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you are in our hearts, whether to die together or to live together.
4 Veliko je moje pouzdanje u vas, uvelike se vama ponosim. Pun sam utjehe, obilujem radošću uza svu nevolju našu.
I have great confidence in you; I do a lot of boasting about you. I am filled with encouragement, overflowing with joy in spite of all our affliction.
5 Doista, i kada dođosmo u Makedoniju, nikakva spokoja nije imalo tijelo naše, nego nevolje odasvud: izvana borbe, iznutra strepnje.
Now indeed, when we came into Macedonia we had no physical rest, but were surrounded by affliction—conflicts on the outside, fears on the inside.
6 Ali Bog, tješitelj poniznih, utješi nas dolaskom Titovim.
But the God who encourages the lowly encouraged 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 only by his coming, but also by how much he was encouraged over you as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal in my stead, so that I rejoiced even 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 -
Even though that letter caused you sorrow, I do not regret it (though I almost did), because I perceive that the letter made you sorry, though only for a while.
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.
Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry as God intended, so as not to be harmed by us in any way.
10 Jer žalost po Božju rađa neopozivo spasonosnim obraćenjem, a žalost svjetovna rađa smrću.
Now godly sorrow produces repentance into salvation without regret, but the world's sorrow produces 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.
Just consider your own being caused to sorrow in a godly manner, how much diligence it produced in you—what self-defense, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have demonstrated yourselves to be clear 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 even though I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the wrongdoer, nor for that of the victim, but, before God, so that your real commitment to us might be made clear to you.
13 To nas je utješilo. A povrh te naše utjehe još se mnogo više obradovasmo zbog radosti Titove jer svi vi okrijepiste duh njegov.
We have been encouraged by all this. Because of your encouragement, we rejoiced all the more over the joy of Titus, because his spirit has 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.
Because wherein I boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame, but just as everything we spoke to you was true, so also our boasting to Titus proved to be true.
15 I njegovo je srce prema vama još nježnije kad se sjeti poslušnosti svih vas, kako ga sa strahom i trepetom primiste.
Also, his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers your collective obedience as you received him with fear and trembling.
16 Radujem se što se u svemu mogu pouzdati u vas.
I am so glad that I have complete confidence in you.
