2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore having this ministry, as we have obtained mercy, we faint not;
Ker imamo to službo, kakor smo prejeli usmiljenje, ne omahujemo,
2 but we lay aside the hidden things of disgrace, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but in the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men, before 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 But if indeed our gospel is hidden, it is hidden with those who are lost:
Toda če je naš evangelij skrit, je skrit tistim, ki so izgubljeni,
4 in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who believe not, in order that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine on 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 do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
Kajti ne oznanjamo sebe, temveč Kristusa Jezusa, Gospoda; in sebe, vaše služabnike, zaradi Jezusa.
6 Because God is the one, having said; Out of the darkness the light shall shine, which shone in our hearts, to the enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of 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 have this treasure in earthen vessels, in order that the excellency of the power, may be of God, and not of us;
Toda ta zaklad imamo v lončenih posodah, da bi bila odličnost moči lahko od Boga in ne od nas.
8 in everything being troubled, but not in difficulties incorrigible; being at a loss, but not utterly at a loss;
Na vsaki strani smo vznemirjeni, vendar ne v tegobi; zmedeni smo, vendar ne v obupu;
9 being persecuted, but not forsaken; being cast down, but not destroyed;
preganjani, toda ne zapuščeni; mêtani [ob tla], toda ne uničeni;
10 always bearing about the dying of Jesus in our body, in order that the life of Jesus may 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 while living are always being delivered up to death for the sake of Jesus, in order that the life of Jesus may 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 that death works in us, but life in you.
Tako potem v nas deluje smrt, toda v vas življenje.
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which has been written, I believed, therefore I also spoke; and we believe, therefore we also speak;
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 the one having raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us along with Jesus, and present us with you.
vedoč, da tisti, ki je obudil Gospoda Jezusa, bo po Jezusu obudil tudi nas in nas postavil z vami.
15 For all things are for your sakes, in order that the grace, overflowing with thanksgiving through many, may abound unto the glory 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 if indeed our external man perishes, yet our internal man is renewed day by day.
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 the light burden of our affliction, which is evanescent, is working out for us an eternal weight of glory according to hyperbole unto hyperbole; (aiōnios g166)
Kajti naša lahka stiska, ki je samo za trenutek, opravlja za nas veliko večjo, presegajočo in večno težo slave; (aiōnios g166)
18 we not looking at the things which are visible, but the things which are invisible; for the visible things are temporary, but the invisible things are eternal. (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)
