2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:
Od Pavla, apostola Isusa Hrista po volji Božijoj i brata Timotija crkvi Božijoj u Korintu, sa svima svetima koji su u svoj Ahaji:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blagodat vam i mir od Boga oca našega, i Gospoda Isusa Hrista.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
Blagosloven Bog i otac Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista, otac milosti i Bog svake utjehe,
4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
Koji nas utješava u svakoj nevolji našoj, da bismo mogli utješiti one koji su u svakoj nevolji utjehom kojom nas same Bog utješava.
5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
Jer kako se stradanja Hristova umnožavaju na nama tako se i utjeha naša umnožava kroz Hrista.
6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.
Ako li smo pak u nevolji, za vašu je utjehu i spasenije, koje postaje u trpljenju tijeh istijeh stradanja koja i mi podnosimo.
7 And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.
I nadanje naše tvrdo je za vas. Ako li se utješavamo, za vašu je utjehu i spasenije, znajuæi da kao što ste zajednièari u našemu stradanju tako i u utjesi.
8 We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.
Jer vam neæemo, braæo, zatajiti nevolje naše koja nam se dogodi u Aziji kad nam je bilo preteško i preko sile tako da se nijesmo nadali ni življeti;
9 Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.
Nego sami u sebi osudismo da nam valja pomrijeti da se veæ ne uzdasmo u sebe nego u Boga koji podiže mrtve.
10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,
Koji nas je od tolike smrti izbavio, i izbavlja; i u njega se uzdamo da æe nas i još izbaviti,
11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.
S pomoæu i vaše molitve za nas; da mnogi ljudi mnogu hvalu daju Bogu za dare koji su nama dati vas radi.
12 And this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.
Jer je naša slava ovo: svjedoèanstvo savjesti naše da smo u prostoti i èistoti Božijoj a ne u mudrosti tjelesnoj nego po blagodati Božijoj življeli na svijetu, a osobito meðu vama.
13 For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,
Jer vam drugo ne pišemo nego što èitate i razumijevate. A nadam se da æete i do kraja razumjeti.
14 as you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.
Kao što neki i razumjeste da smo vam slava kao i vi nama za dan Gospoda našega Isusa Hrista.
15 Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.
I u ovom pouzdanju šæadijah da vam doðem prije, da drugu blagodat imate;
16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.
I kroz vas da doðem u Maæedoniju, i opet iz Maæedonije da doðem k vama, i vi da me pratite u Judeju.
17 When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” when I really mean “No, no”?
Ali kad sam ovo htio, eda li sam dakle što nepostojano èinio? Ili što se nakanjujem, da se po tijelu nakanjujem, da bude u mene da da, a ne ne?
18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
Ali je Bog vjeran, te rijeè naša k vama ne bi da i ne.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”
Jer sin Božij Isus Hristos, kojega mi vama propovijedasmo ja i Silvan i Timotije, ne bi da i ne, nego u njemu bi da.
20 For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.
Jer koliko je obeæanja Božijeh, u njemu su da, i u njemu amin, Bogu na slavu kroz nas.
21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,
A Bog je koji nas utvrdi s vama u Hristu, i pomaza nas,
22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.
Koji nas i zapeèati, i dade zalog Duha u srca naša.
23 I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.
A ja za svjedoka Boga prizivam na svoju dušu da štedeæi vas ne doðoh više u Korint.
24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.
Ne kao da mi vladamo vjerom vašom, nego smo pomagaèi vaše radosti; jer u vjeri stojite.
