2 Corinthians 11
1 Woulde to God, yee coulde suffer a litle my foolishnes, and in deede, ye suffer me.
O kad biste podnijeli nešto malo bezumlja mojega! Da, podnesite me!
2 For I am ielous ouer you, with godly ielousie: for I haue prepared you for one husband, to present you as a pure virgine to Christ:
Ljubomoran sam doista na vas Božjim ljubomorom: ta zaručih vas s jednim mužem, kao čistu djevicu privedoh vas Kristu.
3 But I feare least as the serpent beguiled Eue through his subtiltie, so your mindes shoulde be corrupt from the simplicitie that is in Christ.
Ali se bojim da se - kao što zmija zavede Evu svojom lukavštinom - misli vaše ne pokvare i odmetnu od iskrenosti prema Kristu.
4 For if he that commeth, preacheth another Iesus whome we haue not preached: or if yee receiue another spirite whome ye haue not receiued: either another Gospell, which yee haue not receiued, ye might well haue suffered him.
Uistinu, ako tko dođe i propovijeda drugog Isusa, kojega mi nismo propovijedali - ili ako drugoga Duha primate, kojega niste primili; ili drugo evanđelje, koje niste prigrlili - takva lijepo podnosÄite.
5 Verely I suppose that I was not inferior to the very chiefe Apostles.
Smatram, eto, da ni u čemu nisam manji od “nadapostola”.
6 And though I be rude in speaking, yet I am not so in knowledge, but among you wee haue beene made manifest to the vttermost, in all things.
Jer ako sam i nevješt u govoru, nisam u znanju; naprotiv, u svemu vam ga i pred svima očitovasmo.
7 Haue I committed an offence, because I abased my selfe, that ye might be exalted, and because I preached to you ye Gospell of God freely?
Ili sam grijeh počinio što sam vam - ponizujući sebe da se vi uzvisite - besplatno navješćivao Božje evanđelje?
8 I robbed other Churches, and tooke wages of them to doe you seruice.
Druge sam crkve plijenio, od njih primao potporu da bih mogao vama služiti. I dok bijah u vas, premda u oskudici, nikomu nisam bio na teret.
9 And when I was present with you, and had neede, I was not slouthfull to the hinderance of any man: for that which was lacking vnto me, the brethre which came from Macedonia, supplied, and in all thinges I kept and will keepe my selfe, that I should not be grieuous to you.
U oskudici su mi pomogla braća koja dođoše iz Makedonije. U svemu sam se čuvao da vam ne budem težak, a i čuvat ću se.
10 The trueth of Christ is in me, that this reioycing shall not be shut vp against me in the regions of Achaia.
Istine mi Kristove u meni, ove mi hvale nitko neće oduzeti u ahajskim krajevima.
11 Wherefore? because I loue you not? God knoweth.
Zašto? Jer vas ne ljubim? Bog znade!
12 But what I doe, that will I doe: that I may cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like vnto vs in that wherein they reioyce.
A što činim, i dalje ću činiti da izbijem izliku onima koji izliku traže ne bi li se s nama izjednačili u onom čime se hvastaju.
13 For such false apostles are deceitfull workers, and transforme themselues into the Apostles of Christ.
Jer takvi su ljudi lažni apostoli, himbeni radnici, prerušuju se u apostole Kristove.
14 And no marueile: for Satan himselfe is transformed into an Angel of light.
I nikakvo čudo! Ta sam se Sotona prerušuje u anđela svjetla.
15 Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers transforme themselues, as though they were the ministers of righteousnes, whose end shall be according to their workes.
Ništa osobito dakle ako se i službenici njegovi prerušuju u službenike pravednosti. Svršetak će im biti po djelima njihovim.
16 I say againe, Let no man thinke that I am foolish, or els take mee euen as a foole, that I also may boast my selfe a litle.
Opet velim: da me tko ne bi smatrao bezumnim! Uostalom, primite me makar i kao bezumna da se i ja nešto malo pohvalim.
17 That I speake, I speake it not after the Lord: but as it were foolishly, in this my great boasting.
Što govorim, ne govorim po Gospodnju, nego kao u bezumlju, u ovoj hvalisavoj smionosti.
18 Seeing that many reioyce after the flesh, I will reioyce also.
Budući da se mnogi hvale po ljudsku, i ja ću se hvaliti.
19 For ye suffer fooles gladly, because that yee are wise.
Ta rado podnosÄite bezumne, vi umni!
20 For ye suffer, euen if a man bring you into bondage, if a man deuoure you, if a man take your goods, if a man exalt himselfe, if a man smite you on the face.
Da, podnosÄite ako vas tko zarobljava, ako vas tko proždire, ako tko otima, ako se tko uznosi, ako vas tko po obrazu bije.
21 I speake as concerning the reproche: as though that we had bene weake: but wherein any man is bold (I speake foolishly) I am bold also.
Na sramotu govorim: bili smo, biva, slabi! Ipak, čime se god tko osmjeljuje - u bezumlju govorim - osmjeljujem se i ja!
22 They are Hebrues, so am I: they are Israelites, so am I: they are the seede of Abraham, so am I:
Hebreji su? I ja sam! Izraelci su? I ja sam! Potomstvo su Abrahamovo? I ja sam!
23 They are the ministers of Christ (I speake as a foole) I am more: in labours more aboundant: in stripes aboue measure: in prison more plenteously: in death oft.
Poslužitelji su Kristovi? Kao mahnit govorim: ja još više! U naporima - preobilno; u tamnicama - preobilno; u batinama - prekomjerno; u smrtnim pogiblima - često.
24 Of the Iewes fiue times receiued I fourtie stripes saue one.
Od Židova primio sam pet puta po četrdeset manje jednu.
25 I was thrise beaten with roddes: I was once stoned: I suffered thrise shipwracke: night and day haue I bene in the deepe sea.
Triput sam bio šiban, jednom kamenovan, triput doživio brodolom, jednu noć i dan proveo sam u bezdanu.
26 In iourneying I was often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of mine owne nation, in perils among the Gentiles, in perils in the citie, in perils in wildernes, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren,
Česta putovanja, pogibli od rijeka, pogibli od razbojnika, pogibli od sunarodnjaka, pogibli od pogana, pogibli u gradu, pogibli u pustinji, pogibli na moru, pogibli od lažne braće;
27 In wearinesse and painefulnesse, in watching often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in colde and in nakednesse.
u trudu i naporu, često u nespavanju, u gladu i žeđi, često u postovima, u studeni i golotinji!
28 Beside the thinges which are outwarde, I am combred dayly, and haue the care of all the Churches.
Osim toga, uz drugo, salijetanje svakodnevno, briga za sve crkve.
29 Who is weake, and I am not weake? who is offended, and I burne not?
Tko je slab, a ja da ne budem slab? Tko se sablažnjuje, a ja da ne izgaram?
30 If I must needes reioyce, I will reioyce of mine infirmities.
Treba li se hvaliti, svojom ću se slabošću hvaliti.
31 The God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which is blessed for euermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
Bog i Otac Gospodina Isusa, blagoslovljen u vijeke, zna da ne lažem. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the gouernour of the people vnder King Aretas, layde watch in the citie of the Damascens, and would haue caught me.
U Damasku namjesnik kralja Arete čuvaše grad damaščanski hoteći me uhvatiti.
33 But at a window was I let downe in a basket through the wall, and escaped his handes.
Ali kroz prozor spustiše me u košari preko zida te umakoh njegovim rukama.
