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, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;

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

receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we ruin; no one did we defraud;

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

I do not say [it] to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to 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 freedom of speech to you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I hyper-abound with the joy on all our tribulation,

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

for we also, having come to Macedonia, our flesh has had no relaxation, but on every side we are in tribulation: fightings outside, fears within;

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

but He who is comforting the cast-down—God—He comforted us in 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 in his coming, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the 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 -

because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not regret—if even I regretted—for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, made you sorry.

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 you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to conversion, for you were made sorry toward God, that you might receive damage from us in nothing;

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

for sorrow toward God works conversion to salvation without regret, and the sorrow of the world works 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 same thing—your being made sorry toward God—how much diligence it works in you! But defense, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in everything you 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.

If, then, I also wrote to you—not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who suffered wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being revealed to you before 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.

because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more we rejoiced in the joy of Titus, that his spirit has been refreshed from 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 if I have boasted anything to him in your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke to you all things in truth, so also our boasting before Titus became 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 yearnings are more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling;

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

I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
