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, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who 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 comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by 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 to us, even so our comfort also abounds 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 if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you 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.

Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you 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 do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much 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.

Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises 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 he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will also deliver us again;

11 A i vi ćete nam pomagati molitvom da bi mnogi za nas zahvaljivali Bogu na milosti koja nam je darovana posredovanjem mnogih.

you also helping together on our behalf by your petition; that, for the gift bestowed on 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 boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

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 to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will fully acknowledge;

14 kao što nas djelomično i razumjeste: da smo mi vaša slava kao i vi naša u Dan Gospodina našega Isusa.

as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

15 U tom uvjerenju namjeravao sam najprije doći k vama

In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you 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 to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

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 planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"

18 Bog je svjedok: naša riječ vama nije “Da!” i “Ne!”

But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not "Yes and no."

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, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."

20 Doista, sva obećanja Božja u njemu su “Da!”. I stoga po njemu i naš “Amen!” Bogu na slavu!

For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him they are "Amen," to 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 who establishes 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 down payment 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 as a witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

24 Ta mi nismo gospodari vaše vjere, nego suradnici vaše radosti. Ta u vjeri ste postojani.

Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
