2 Corinthians 7
1 Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Imajoč torej te obljube, ljubljeni, očistimo se vsakega madeža mesa in duha dogotavljaje svetost v strahu Božjem.
2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.
Primite nas. Nikomur nismo krivice storili, nikogar nismo popačili, nikogar nismo ukanili.
3 I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you.
Ne govorim na obsodbo, kajti poprej sem rekel, da ste tako v srcih naših, da bi mi radi z vami vkup umrli in vkup živeli.
4 Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.
Velika je moja zaupnost v govoru k vam, velika moja hvala za voljo vas; napolnjen sem tolažbe, preobilno imam radosti poleg vse stiske naše.
5 For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.
Kajti kedar smo prišli v Macedonijo, nobenega počitka ni imelo meso naše, nego v vsem smo bili stiskani: zvunaj boji, znotraj strahi.
6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,
Ali Bog, kteri tolaži ponižne, potolažil nas je s prihodom Titovim.
7 and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.
Toda ne samo s prihodom, nego tudi s tolažbo, s ktero se je on potolažil za vas, pripovedujoč nam vaše želenje, vaš jok, vašo vnetost za mene, tako da sem se bolje obveselil.
8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it, I now see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time.
Ker če tudi sem vas razžalostil z listom, ni mi žal, če tudi mi je žal bilo, kajti vidim, da vas je oni list, če tudi za čas, razžalostil.
9 And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.
Sedaj se radujem ne da ste se razžalostili, nego da ste se razžalostili na pokoro; kajti razžalostili ste se po Bogu, da bi v ničemer kvara ne imeli od nas.
10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
Ker žalost po Bogu napravlja pokoro na zveličanje, za ktero se ni kesati, a žalost sveta napravlja smrt.
11 Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
Kajti lej, to samo, da ste se po Bogu razžalostili, kakošno vam je napravilo marljivost, pa zagovarjanje, pa nevoljo, pa strah, pa želenje, pa vnetost, pa maščevanje! V vsem ste se pokazali, da ste čisti v delu.
12 So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God.
Za kaj če tudi sem vam pisal, pisal sem ne za voljo tistega, kteri je krivico storil, tudi ne za voljo tistega, kteremu se je krivica storila, nego da se pokaže marljivost naša za vas med vami pričo Boga.
13 On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.
Za to smo potolaženi s tolažbo vašo; še obilneje pa smo se obradovali nad radostjo Titovo, ker ste spokojili duh njegov vsi vi.
14 Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.
Kajti če sem se v čem njemu pohvalil z vami, nisem se osramotil; nego kakor smo vam vse v resnici govorili, tako je tudi pohvala naša k Titu resnična postala.
15 And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers that you were all obedient as you welcomed him with fear and trembling.
In srce njegovo vam je bolje vdano, kedar se spominja poslušnosti vseh vas, kako ste ga s strahom in trepetom sprejeli.
16 I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.
Radujem se torej, da se v vsem smem oslanjati na vas.
