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.
Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of the flesh and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
2 Shvatite nas! Nikomu nismo nanijeli nepravde, nikoga nismo upropastili, nikoga zakinuli.
Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of 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, for I have said before that you are in our hearts so that we die together with you and live together with you.
4 Veliko je moje pouzdanje u vas, uvelike se vama ponosim. Pun sam utjehe, obilujem radošću uza svu nevolju našu.
Great is my boldness toward you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing 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 came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn, with conflicts on the outside and fears within.
6 Ali Bog, tješitelj poniznih, utješi nas dolaskom Titovim.
But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival 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 arrival, but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing, your contrition, and your deep concern for me, so that I rejoiced all 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 -
For even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it (though I did regret it, for I see that my letter caused you sorrow, though only for an hour).
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.
But now I rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance. For you felt a godly sorrow, so that you suffered no loss through us.
10 Jer žalost po Božju rađa neopozivo spasonosnim obraćenjem, a žalost svjetovna rađa smrću.
For godly sorrow produces a repentance that leads to salvation, leaving no regret, but worldly 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.
Consider what earnestness this godly sorrow of yours has produced in you, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what righting of wrong! In everything you have shown 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 although I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong, nor on account of the one who was wronged, but so that your earnestness for us might be revealed to 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.
In this we find comfort. And in addition to the comfort we received from you, we rejoiced all the more at 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.
For if I made any boast to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has also proven 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.
And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers 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, because I have complete confidence in you.
