2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, seeing that we haue this ministerie, as we haue receiued mercy, we faint not:
Ker imamo to službo, kakor smo prejeli usmiljenje, ne omahujemo,
2 But haue cast from vs ye clokes of shame, and walke not in craftines, neither handle we the worde of God deceitfully: but in declaration of the trueth we approue our selues to euery mans conscience in the sight of God.
temveč smo se odrekli skritim stvarem nepoštenosti in ne hodimo v prebrisanosti niti z Božjo besedo ne ravnamo varljivo, temveč se z manifestacijo resnice v Božjih očeh priporočamo vesti vsakega človeka.
3 If our Gospell bee then hid, it is hid to them that are lost.
Toda če je naš evangelij skrit, je skrit tistim, ki so izgubljeni,
4 In whom the God of this world hath blinded the mindes, that is, of the infidels, that the light of the glorious Gospell of Christ, which is the image of God, should not shine vnto them. (aiōn g165)
v katerih je bog tega sveta zaslepil misli tistih, ki ne verujejo, da jim ne bi zasijala svetloba veličastnega Kristusovega evangelija, ki je podoba Boga. (aiōn g165)
5 For we preach not our selues, but Christ Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruaunts for Iesus sake.
Kajti ne oznanjamo sebe, temveč Kristusa Jezusa, Gospoda; in sebe, vaše služabnike, zaradi Jezusa.
6 For God that commanded the light to shine out of darknesse, is he which hath shined in our hearts, to giue the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Iesus Christ.
Kajti Bog, ki je zapovedal svetlobi, da zasije iz teme, je zasijal v naših srcih, da nudi svetlobo spoznanja Božje slave na obrazu Jezusa Kristusa.
7 But we haue this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellencie of that power might be of God, and not of vs.
Toda ta zaklad imamo v lončenih posodah, da bi bila odličnost moči lahko od Boga in ne od nas.
8 Wee are afflicted on euery side, yet are we not in distresse: we are in doubt, but yet wee despaire not.
Na vsaki strani smo vznemirjeni, vendar ne v tegobi; zmedeni smo, vendar ne v obupu;
9 We are persecuted, but not forsaken: cast downe, but we perish not.
preganjani, toda ne zapuščeni; mêtani [ob tla], toda ne uničeni;
10 Euery where we beare about in our bodie the dying of the Lord Iesus, that the life of Iesus might also be made manifest in our bodies.
vedno v telesu naokrog prenašamo umiranje Gospoda Jezusa, da bi se lahko tudi v našem telesu razodelo Jezusovo življenje.
11 For we which liue, are alwaies deliuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Kajti mi, ki živimo, smo zaradi Jezusa nenehno izročani v smrt, da bi se tudi Jezusovo življenje lahko razodelo v našem umrljivem mesu.
12 So then death worketh in vs, and life in you.
Tako potem v nas deluje smrt, toda v vas življenje.
13 And because we haue the same spirite of faith, according as it is written, I beleeued, and therefore haue I spoken, we also beleeue, and therefore speake,
Ker imamo istega duha vere, glede na to, kakor je pisano: ›Veroval sem in zato sem govoril; ‹ tudi mi verujemo in zato govorimo;
14 Knowing that he which hath raised vp the Lord Iesus, shall raise vs vp also by Iesus, and shall set vs with you.
vedoč, da tisti, ki je obudil Gospoda Jezusa, bo po Jezusu obudil tudi nas in nas postavil z vami.
15 For all thinges are for your sakes, that that most plenteous grace by the thankesgiuing of many, may redound to the praise of God.
Kajti vse stvari so zaradi vas, da bi lahko obilna milost zaradi zahvaljevanja mnogih prekipevala v Božjo slavo.
16 Therefore we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed daily.
Zaradi tega razloga ne omagujemo; kajti kljub temu, da naš zunanji človek umira, je vendarle naš notranji človek iz dneva v dan obnovljen.
17 For our light affliction which is but for a moment, causeth vnto vs a farre most excellent and an eternall waight of glorie: (aiōnios g166)
Kajti naša lahka stiska, ki je samo za trenutek, opravlja za nas veliko večjo, presegajočo in večno težo slave; (aiōnios g166)
18 While we looke not on the thinges which are seene, but on the things which are not seene: for the things which are seene, are temporall: but the things which are not seene, are eternall. (aiōnios g166)
medtem ko ne gledamo na stvari, ki so vidne, temveč na stvari, ki so nevidne. Kajti stvari, ki so vidne, so začasne, toda stvari, ki so nevidne, so večne. (aiōnios g166)
