2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

Pavel, po Božji volji apostol Jezusa Kristusa, in naš brat Timótej Božji cerkvi, ki je v Korintu, z vsemi svetimi, ki so po vsej Ahaji:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

›Milost bodi vam in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.‹

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, celó Oče našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, Oče usmiljenj in Bog vse tolažbe,

4 Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

ki nas tolaži v vsaki naši stiski, da bomo sposobni tolažiti te, ki so v kakršnikoli težavi, s tolažbo, s katero smo mi sami potolaženi od Boga.

5 For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.

Kajti kakor so Kristusova trpljenja obilna v nas, tako je obilna tudi naša tolažba po Kristusu.

6 But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:

Če pa smo stiskani, je to za vašo tolažbo in rešitev duš, ki je učinkovita v prestajanju istih trpljenj, ki jih tudi mi prenašamo; ali če smo potolaženi, je to zaradi vaše tolažbe in rešitve duš.

7 And our hope for you is certain; in the knowledge that as you take part in the troubles, so you will take part in the comfort.

In naše upanje o vas je neomajno, vedoč, da kakor ste udeleženci trpljenj, tako boste postali tudi tolažbe.

8 For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

Kajti nočemo, bratje, da bi bili vi nevedni o naši težavi, ki je k nam prišla v Aziji, da smo bili stiskani preko mere, nad močjo, tako zelo, da smo obupali celó nad življenjem.

9 Yes, we ourselves have had the answer of death in ourselves, so that our hope might not be in ourselves, but in God who is able to give life to the dead:

Toda v sebi smo imeli smrtno obsodbo, da ne bi zaupali vase, temveč v Boga, ki obuja mrtve;

10 Who gave us salvation from so great a death: on whom we have put our hope that he will still go on to give us salvation;

ki nas je osvobodil iz tako velike smrti in še osvobaja; v katerega zaupamo, da nas bo še osvobajal.

11 You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

Tudi vi skupaj pomagate z molitvijo za nas, da bi bila lahko zaradi daru, podarjenega nam, s pomočjo mnogih oseb, dana zahvala z naše strani.

12 For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.

Kajti naše veselje je to, pričevanje naše vesti, da smo se v svetu vedli s preprostostjo in pobožno iskrenostjo, ne z meseno modrostjo, temveč z Božjo milostjo in bolj obilno posebej do vas.

13 For in our letters we say no other things to you, but those which you are reading, and to which you give agreement, and, it is my hope, will go on doing so to the end:

Kajti ne pišemo vam nobenih drugih stvari, kakor kar berete ali spoznavate; in zaupam, da boste spoznali celó do konca;

14 Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

kakor ste nas tudi vi deloma spoznali, da smo mi vaše veselje, celó kakor ste tudi vi naše na dan Gospoda Jezusa.

15 And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;

V tem zaupanju sem bil voljan prej priti k vam, da bi vi lahko imeli dvojno korist;

16 And by way of Corinth to go into Macedonia, and from there to come back again to you, so that you might send me on my way to Judaea.

in mimo vas iti v Makedonijo in iz Makedonije ponovno priti k vam in bi bil od vas pospremljen na svoji poti proti Judeji.

17 If then I had such a purpose, did I seem to be changing suddenly? or am I guided in my purposes by the flesh, saying, Yes, today, and, No, tomorrow?

Ko sem bil torej takih misli, ali sem uporabil lahkomiselnost? Ali stvari, ki jih nameravam, nameravam storiti glede na meso, da bo z menoj »da, « »da« in »ne, « »ne«?

18 As God is true, our word to you is not Yes and No.

Toda kakor je Bog resničen, naša beseda do vas ni bila »da« in »ne.«

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we were preaching among you, even I and Silvanus and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in him is Yes.

Kajti Božji Sin, Jezus Kristus, ki je bil med vami oznanjen po nas, celó po meni in Silvánu ter Timóteju, ni bil »da« in »ne, « temveč je bil v njem »da.«

20 For he is the Yes to all the undertakings of God: and by him all the words of God are made certain and put into effect, to the glory of God through us.

Kajti vse Božje obljube so v njem »da« in v njem »Amen« v Božjo slavo po nas.

21 Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;

Torej tisti, ki nas z vami utrjuje v Kristusu in nas je mazilil, je Bog;

22 And it is he who has put his stamp on us, even the Spirit, as the sign in our hearts of the coming glory.

ki nas je tudi zapečatil in v naša srca dal poroštvo Duha.

23 But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.

Poleg tega kličem Boga za pričo nad svojo dušo, da doslej še nisem prišel k vam v Korint, da bi vam prizanesel.

24 Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support.

Ne, ker bi imeli gospostvo nad vašo vero, temveč smo pomočniki vaše radosti; kajti stojite po veri.
