2 Korintským 5
1 Víme zajisté, že byl-li by tohoto našeho zemského přebývání stánek zbořen, stavení od Boha máme, příbytek ne rukou udělaný, věčný v nebesích. (aiōnios g166)
We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
2 Pročež i v tomto stánku vzdycháme, v příbytek náš, kterýž jest s nebe, oblečeni býti žádajíce,
[While we are here on earth, we suffer]. We often groan because we desire [to go] to heaven [where God] will give us our new [bodies] [MET].
3 Jestliže však oblečení a ne nazí nalezeni budeme.
When [God gives us(inc) our new bodies] [MET], our [spirits will have] [LIT, MET] bodies to live in [that will last forever].
4 Nebo kteříž jsme v tomto stánku, lkáme, jsouce obtíženi, poněvadž bychom nechtěli svlečeni býti, ale přiodíni, aby pohlcena byla smrtelnost od života.
[It is true that] while we are still living in these bodies [MET] [that do not last forever], we often groan [DOU] [because we desire to be free from them]. We are not longing to be without a body. Instead, [we groan because] we desire to receive our new bodies [MET] in heaven. We long for this to happen so that these bodies that are going to die some day will suddenly be changed [into bodies] that will live [forever].
5 Ten pak, kdož nás tak k tomu způsobil, Bůhť jest, kterýž i dal nám závdavek Ducha svého.
It is God himself who has prepared us to [receive] these [new bodies]. He is also the one who has guaranteed/assured us [(inc)] that this will happen. He has guaranteed it by sending his Spirit [to live inside us now].
6 Protož doufanlivé mysli vždycky jsouce, a vědouce, že dokudž pohostinu jsme v tomto těle, vzdáleni jsme ode Pána,
So, [because God’s Spirit lives in us], we are always confident [that God will give us new bodies]. We know that as long as we have bodies here on [earth], we are not yet [living together] with the Lord [Jesus in heaven].
7 (Nebo skrze víru chodíme, a ne skrze vidění tváři Páně, )
While we [(exc)] live [here, we] do not have our [new bodies, but we are] trusting [that God will give them to us].
8 Doufanlivéť pak mysli jsme, a oblibujeme raději vyjíti z těla a přijíti ku Pánu.
[As I said], we [(exc)] are confident [that he will give us new bodies]. We [(exc)] would much prefer to leave these bodies [which we have now], and be with the Lord [Jesus in our] home in [heaven].
9 Protož i usilujeme buď v těle pohostinu jsouce, buďto z těla se berouce, jemu se líbiti.
Because of all that, we always want to please [Jesus in everything that we do]. Whether we [(exc)] are [still living] here [in these] bodies or whether we have [left] them and are living in our home [in heaven], we want to please him.
10 Všickni my zajisté ukázati se musíme před soudnou stolicí Kristovou, aby přijal jeden každý odplatu za to, což skrze tělo působil, podle toho, jakž práce čí byla, buďto v dobrém, nebo ve zlém.
[And we need to try hard to do that] because each one of us [believers] must stand before Christ [to be] judged [by him] {[when he will] judge [his people]}. [At that time] he will [reward each one of] us according to what we have done [while we lived in this world] in these bodies. [He will reward us according to] whether we have done good things or whether we have done evil things.
11 Protož znajíce tu hrůzu Páně, lidem k víře sloužíme, Bohuť pak známi jsme. A nadějiť mám, že i svědomí vašemu známi jsme.
It makes me fearful [to think that some day I will stand before the Lord for him to judge me]. So I [do everything that I can to] convince people [that they should believe] (OR, [that I teach] sincerely) [God’s message]. God knows very well [how I conduct my life and what I teach], and I really believe that you know it, too.
12 Neboť ne sami sebe opět vám chválíme, ale příčinu vám dáváme, abyste se chlubili námi, a abyste to měli proti těm, kteříž se v tvárnosti chlubí, a ne v srdci.
Once again [I say, as I write this], I am not just [trying to] make you think well/highly of me, [as some people will probably say that I am]. Instead, I am [telling you in this letter why you have] good reason [to tell those who criticize me] that you think highly of me. [I am telling you this] so that you will know what to say to those [teachers of false doctrine among you]. They are proud [of what they have done], instead of [making sure that] they [are right with God and being pleased with that].
13 Nebo buďto že nesmyslní jsme, Bohu nesmyslní jsme; buď že jsme rozumní, vám rozumní jsme.
[Some of them say that after God has enabled me to see visions], I [talk like] a crazy person. If [that is so, I want you to realize that I talk that way in order to please] God. On the other hand, if [you think that] I [speak and act] wisely, [that is good. I want you to know that I do] speak and act wisely in order to [help] you.
14 Láska zajisté Kristova víže nás,
[I speak and act the way I do] because the love that Christ [has for people] influences me [in everything that I say and do]. When Christ died, [he suffered the punishment] for [the sins of] all people. So, we should all [think of ourselves as having] died with him, [being as unresponsive to sinful desires as] [MET] a corpse is.
15 Jakožto ty, kteříž tak soudíme, že poněvadž jeden za všecky umřel, tedyť všickni zemřeli, a že za všecky umřel, aby ti, kteříž živi jsou, již ne sami sobě živi byli, ale tomu, kterýž za ně umřel i z mrtvých vstal.
When [Christ] died for the everyone, he died in order that [we believers who are alive now] should not conduct our lives in a way that will just [please ourselves]. Instead, [we should conduct our lives in a way that will please] Christ, [because] he is the one who died for us and was brought back to life {whom [God] raised} again.
16 A tak my již od toho času žádného neznáme podle těla. A ačkoli jsme poznali Krista podle těla, ale nyní již více neznáme.
So, [because I realize how much Christ loves everyone], I no longer think about people in the way that those who do not believe [in Christ] think about [them]. Before I [was a believer], I thought about Christ in the way that other non-believers did. But I do not think of him that way any more.
17 Protož jest-li kdo v Kristu, nové stvoření jest. Staré věci pominuly, aj, nové všecko učiněno jest.
The fact is that God makes every one [of us] who [trusts] in Christ to be completely different [than we were before]. Our old [way of conducting our lives] is gone. We now have a [completely] new way of [conducting our lives].
18 To pak všecko jest z Boha, kterýž smířil nás s sebou skrze Jezukrista, a dal nám služebnost smíření tohoto.
This [complete change in our lives] is all something that God [does]. It is God who made it possible for us to have a peaceful relationship with him. [He was able to do that] because of what Christ [did for us]. Now God [has sent] me, and those [who work] with me, to tell [people that they] can have a peaceful relationship with him.
19 Nebo Bůh byl v Kristu, smířuje svět s sebou, nepočítaje jim hříchů jejich, a složil v nás to slovo smíření.
That is, [he sent us(exc) to tell them that] when Christ [died], God was [making it possible for everyone] [MTY] in the world to have a peaceful relationship with him. He no longer keeps a record of the sinful things that [we believers] have done. The message that [God] has given to us [to tell people is how we can have a] peaceful relationship with him.
20 Protož my na místo Krista poselství dějeme; a jako by Bůh skrze nás žádal vás, prosíme na místě Kristově, smiřte se s Bohem.
So, it is I and my companions who are Christ’s representatives [in this world. When we tell people the message about Christ], it is God himself who is pleading with them by means of what we [say]. So, as true representatives of Christ, we plead with you: [Believe God’s true message about Christ in order that you may] be reconciled to {have a peaceful relationship with} him.
21 Nebo toho, kterýž hříchu nepoznal, za nás učinil hříchem, abychom my učiněni byli spravedlností Boží v něm.
[You must believe that even though] Jesus never sinned, God [punished him for all the] sinful things [that people do, just] as [if Jesus had done those sinful things himself]. And because of our close relationship with Christ, God has erased the record of our sins/declared us no longer guilty for our sins.
