2 Korinčanima 1
1 Pavao, po volji Božjoj apostol Krista Isusa, i brat Timotej: Crkvi Božjoj u Korintu sa svima svetima u svoj Ahaji.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in the whole of Achaia:
2 Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista!
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blagoslovljen Bog i Otac Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, Otac milosrđa i Bog svake utjehe!
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
4 On nas tješi u svakoj našoj nevolji da bismo i mi sve koji su u nevolji mogli tješiti onom utjehom kojom nas same tješi Bog.
who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 Jer kao što su obilate patnje Kristove u nama, tako je po Kristu obilata i utjeha naša.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.
6 Bili mi nevoljama pritisnuti za vašu je to utjehu i spasenje; bili utješeni, za vašu je utjehu - djelotvornu: da strpljivo podnesete iste patnje koje i mi podnosimo.
But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
7 I tako je stamena nada naša o vama jer znamo: kao što ste zajedničari patnja tako ste i utjehe.
and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
8 Ne bismo doista htjeli, braćo, da ne znate za nevolju koja nas je snašla u Aziji. Bijasmo prekomjerno, preko snage, opterećeni te smo već strepili i za život.
For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell [us] in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 Ali u sebi prihvatismo i smrtnu osudu da se ne bismo uzdali u same sebe, nego u Boga koji uskrisuje mrtve.
yea, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead:
10 On nas je od takve smrti izbavio i izbavit će nas; u njega se uzdamo, on će nas i dalje izbavljati.
who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;
11 A i vi ćete nam pomagati molitvom da bi mnogi za nas zahvaljivali Bogu na milosti koja nam je darovana posredovanjem mnogih.
ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
12 A ovo je naša slava: svjedočansto naše savjesti da smo u svijetu živjeli - osobito prema vama - u svetosti i iskrenosti Božjoj, ne u mudrosti tjelesnoj, nego u Božjoj milosti.
For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13 Ta i ne pišemo vam drugo doli ovo što čitate i razumijete; a nadam se da ćete i do kraja razumjeti,
For we write no other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:
14 kao što nas djelomično i razumjeste: da smo mi vaša slava kao i vi naša u Dan Gospodina našega Isusa.
as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 U tom uvjerenju namjeravao sam najprije doći k vama
And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;
16 i preko vas prijeći u Makedoniju pa se opet, da biste imali i drugu milost, iz Makedonije vratiti k vama da me vi otpratite u Judeju.
and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judæa.
17 Pa jesam li možda bio lakomislen kad sam to namjeravao? Ili što namjeravam, po tijelu namjeravam te je u mene istodobno “Da, da!” i “Ne, ne!”?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?
18 Bog je svjedok: naša riječ vama nije “Da!” i “Ne!”
But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.
19 jer Sin Božji, Isus Krist, koga mi - ja i Silvan i Timotej - vama navijestismo nije bio “Da!” i “Ne!” nego u njemu bijaše “Da!”.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.
20 Doista, sva obećanja Božja u njemu su “Da!”. I stoga po njemu i naš “Amen!” Bogu na slavu!
For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us.
21 A Bog je onaj koji nas zajedno s vama utvrđuje za Krista; on nas i pomaza,
Now he that establisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
22 on nas i zapečati i u srca naša dade zalog - Duha.
who also sealed us, and gave [us] the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 A ja prizivljem Boga za svjedoka: duše mi, da vas poštedim, nisam više dolazio u Korint.
But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.
24 Ta mi nismo gospodari vaše vjere, nego suradnici vaše radosti. Ta u vjeri ste postojani.
Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast.
