2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I, Paul, am myself appealing to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ (I who am ‘humble when present’ among you, but ‘bold when absent’ toward you).
Sam pa jaz Pavel opominjam vas po krotkosti in tihosti Kristusovej, kteri sem pričo vas res da ponižen med vami, a kedar me ni pri vas, pa drzen proti vam.
2 Yes, I beg you, that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence that I will ‘dare’ to visit upon some who think that we are walking in a fleshly manner.
Prosim pa, da mi ne bo treba, kedar bom pri vas zdrzniti se s to zaupnostjo, s ktero mislim zdrzniti se na nektere, kteri mislijo, kakor da po mesu hodimo.
3 Well, we do walk about in flesh, but we do not wage war that way,
Kajti če tudi po mesu hodimo, ne vojskujemo se po mesu,
4 because the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but are powerful in God for demolishing strongholds:
(Ker orožje našega vojskovanja ni meseno nego močno po Bogu za razdevanje trdnih mest),
5 demolishing sophistries and every arrogance that sets itself up against the knowledge of God; taking captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ;
Naklepe razdevajoč in vsako visokost, ktera se vzdiguje proti poznanju Božjemu; in zavjemajoč vsako pamet na poslušnost Kristusu,
6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
In v pripravi imajoč maščevanje za vsako neposlušnost, kedar se izpolni vaša poslušnost.
7 Do you only look at the ‘face’ of things? If anyone has persuaded himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's.
Gledate li na to, kar vam je pred očmi? Če kdo upa v sebi, da je Kristusov, misli naj zopet v sebi, da, kakor je on Kristusov, tako smo tudi mi Kristusovi.
8 Now even if I boast a little to excess about our authority (which the Lord gave us for building up, not to tear you down), I will not act ashamed,
Kajti če se tudi kaj obilneje pohvalim z oblastjo našo, ktero nam je dal Gospod za zidanje in ne za razdevanje vaše, ne bom se osramotil.
9 so as not to appear to agree that it is only with letters that I ‘terrify’ you.
Da se ne bo videlo, kakor da vas strašim z listovi,
10 Because some say, “His letters are ‘heavy’ and forceful, but his physical presence is weak, and his speech can be disdained.”
Ker so listovi, velí, težki in jaki, ali ko je s telesom nazoči, slab je in beseda mu nič ne velja.
11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters while absent is just what we will be in action when present.
To naj misli, kdor je tak, da, kakoršni smo v besedi po listih nenazoči, takošni smo tudi nazoči v dejanji.
12 Now we do not dare to class or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
Kajti ne drznemo se pridejati se k nekterim ali primeriti se ž njimi, kteri sami sebe povzdigujejo; nego kteri sami po sebi sami sebe merijo in primerjajo sami sebe s seboj, ne umejo.
13 We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will stay within the boundaries that God assigned to us, a field that includes you.
A mi se ne bomo črez nemero hvalili, nego po meri vodila, kterega nam je podelil Bog mero, da dosežemo tudi noter do vas.
14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we had not reached you, because we did indeed get to you with the Gospel of Christ;
Kajti mi se ne stezamo predaleč, kakor da ne dosezamo do vas; za kaj tudi noter do vas smo prišli v evangelji Kristusovem;
15 nor do we boast ‘off limits’ in the labors of others, but we have hope that as your faith grows our boundaries will be greatly expanded through you,
Ne hvaleč se črez nemero s tujimi trudi, ali up imajoč, kedar se pomnoži vera vaša, da se v vas poveličamo po vodilu svojem na obilnost,
16 so as to evangelize the regions beyond you (not to boast in work already done in someone else's field).
Da se onkraj vas evangelj oznani, ter se ne pohvalimo s tem, kar je po tujem vodilu narejeno.
17 “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
"Kdor se pa hvali, v Gospodu naj se hvali."
18 Because it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Kajti ni ta, kteri sam sebe povzdiguje, izkušen, nego ta, kogar Gospod povzdiguje.
