2 Corinthians 10
1 Nowe I Paul my selfe beseech you by the meekenes, and gentlenes of Christ, which when I am present among you am base, but am bolde toward you being absent:
Torej jaz sam, Pavel, ki sem v navzočnosti med vami pohleven, toda odsoten sem drzen do vas, vas pri Kristusovi krotkosti in blagosti rotim.
2 And this I require you, that I neede not to be bolde when I am present, with that same confidence, wherewith I thinke to bee bolde against some, which esteeme vs as though wee walked according to the flesh.
Toda rotim vas, da ne bi bil drzen, ko sem prisoten s tem zaupanjem, s katerim mislim biti do nekaterih drzen, ki mislijo o nas, kakor da smo živeli glede na meso.
3 Neuerthelesse, though wee walke in the flesh, yet we doe not warre after the flesh.
Kajti čeprav živimo v mesu, se ne borimo po mesu
4 (For the weapons of our warrefare are not carnall, but mightie through God, to cast downe holdes)
(kajti orožja našega vojskovanja niso mesena, temveč mogočna po Bogu, da podirajo trdnjave);
5 Casting downe the imaginations, and euery high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ,
podiramo zamisli in vsako visoko stvar, ki sebe povzdiguje proti spoznanju Boga ter vsako misel prinašamo v ujetništvo, v poslušnost Kristusu;
6 And hauing ready the vengeance against all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
in v pripravljenosti smo, da maščujemo vso neposlušnost, ko se vaša poslušnost dopolni.
7 Looke yee on things after the appearance? If any man trust in himselfe that hee is Christes, let him consider this againe of himself, that as he is Christes, euen so are we Christes.
Ali gledate na stvari po zunanjem videzu? Če katerikoli človek zaupa sebi, da je Kristusov, naj sam v sebi to ponovno razmisli, da kakor je on Kristusov, točno tako smo mi Kristusovi.
8 For though I shoulde boast somewhat more of our authoritie, which the Lord hath giuen vs for edification, and not for your destruction, I should haue no shame.
Kajti čeprav bi se malce bolj bahal z našo oblastjo, ki nam jo je Gospod dal za izgrajevanje in ne za vaše uničenje, ne bi bil osramočen;
9 This I say, that I may not seeme as it were to feare you with letters.
da ne bom videti, kakor če vas hočem strašiti s pismi.
10 For the letters, sayeth hee, are sore and strong, but his bodily presence is weake, and his speache is of no value.
Kajti [za] njegova pisma, pravijo, [da] so tehtna in vplivna, toda njegova telesna prisotnost je šibka in njegov govor zaničevanja vreden.
11 Let such one thinke this, that such as wee are in woorde by letters, when we are absent, such wil we be also in deede, when we are present.
Naj takšni mislijo to, da takšni, kakor smo mi z besedo po črkah, ko smo odsotni, bomo takšni tudi v dejanju, ko smo prisotni.
12 For wee dare not make our selues of the nomber, or to compare our selues to them, which praise themselues: but they vnderstand not that they measure themselues with themselues, and compare themselues with themselues.
Kajti ne drznemo se meriti ali primerjati z nekaterimi, ki priporočajo sami sebe. Toda tisti, ki sebe merijo s seboj in se primerjajo med seboj, niso modri.
13 But we wil not reioyce of things, which are not within our measure, but according to the measure of the line, whereof God hath distributed vnto vs a measure to attaine euen vnto you.
Toda mi se ne bomo bahali o stvareh zunaj naše mere, temveč glede na mero oblasti, ki nam jo je Bog razdelil, mero, da smo segli celó do vas.
14 For we stretche not our selues beyonde our measure, as though wee had not attained vnto you: for euen to you also haue we come in preaching the Gospel of Christ,
Kajti ne iztezamo se preko naše mere, kakor da nismo prispeli do vas, kajti z oznanjevanjem Kristusovega evangelija smo prišli tudi prav do vas.
15 Not boasting of things which are without our measure: that is, of other mens labours: and we hope, when your faith shall increase, to bee magnified by you according to our line aboundantly,
O stvareh se ne bahamo prek naše mere, to je z napori drugih ljudi, temveč imamo upanje, ko se vaša vera okrepi, da bomo obilno povečani po vas glede na naše območje,
16 And to preache the Gospel in those regions which are beyonde you: not to reioyce in another mans line, that is, in the thinges that are prepared alreadie.
da oznanimo evangelij v pokrajinah onstran vas in ne da se bahamo na področju drugega človeka o stvareh, ki so bile pripravljene k naši roki.
17 But let him that reioyceth, reioyce in the Lord.
Toda kdor se ponaša, naj se ponaša v Gospodu.
18 For hee that praiseth himselfe, is not alowed, but he whome the Lord praiseth.
Kajti ni potrjen kdor priporoča sebe, temveč kogar priporoča Gospod.
