2 Corinthians 12
1 IT is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Ali hvaliti se mi ne pomaga, kajti prišel bom na prikazni in razodetja Gospodova.
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; ) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
Poznam človeka v Gospodu, kteri je bil pred štirinajstimi leti, (ali v telesu, ne vem, ali v duhu zvun telesa, ne vem, Bog ve, ) vzet noter v tretja nebesa;
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth; )
In vem takega človeka, (ali v telesu, ali zvun telesa, ne vem, Bog ve),
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Da je bil vzet v raj in je slišal neizrekljive besede, kterih ni smeti človeku pripovedati.
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
S takim se bom hvalil, sam s seboj se pa ne bom hvalil, razen s slabostmi svojimi.
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
Kajti ko bi se hotel pohvaliti, ne bil bi nespameten, ker bi resnico govoril; ali se varujem, da ne bi kdo pomislil za me več, kar vidi v meni, ali kar sliši za me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
In da bi se v obilnosti razodetij ne prevzdigoval, dal se mi je trn v meso, angelj satan, da me za uho bije, da se ne povzdigujem.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
Zanj sem trikrat Gospoda molil, naj odstopi od mene,
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
In dejal mi je: "Dosti ti je moja milost, kajti moč moja se v slabosti popolnoma pokazuje." Torej se bom rajši hvalil s svojimi slabostmi, da se ušatori v mé moč Kristusova.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Za to sem dobre volje v slabostih, v zasrambah, v potrebah, v pregonih, v težavah za Kristusa; Kajti kedar sem slab, tedaj sem močen.
11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
Postal sem nespameten hvaleč se, vi ste me prisilili. Kajti mene bi morali vi hvaliti, ker nisem bil nič manjši od prevelikih aposteljnov, če ravno sem nič.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
Kajti znamenja aposteljna so se storila med vami v vsakem potrpljenji, v znamenjih in čudežih in močeh.
13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
Ker kaj je, v čemer ste bili manjši od drugih cérkev? Le da vas jaz sam nisem nadlegoval. Odpustite mi to krivico.
14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Lej, tretjič sem pripravljen priti k vam in ne bom vas nadlegoval, kajti ne iščem, kar je vaše, nego vas, ker niso dolžni otroci roditeljem blago spravljati, nego roditelji otrokom.
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
A jaz bom prav rad trosil ter se iztrošil za duše vaše, če me tudi, s čim obilneje vas ljubim, s tem manje ljubite.
16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
Ali naj bo, jaz vam nisem nadlege delal, nego zvit človek pridobil sem vas z zvijačo.
17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
Jeli sem vas po kterem teh, ktere sem k vam poslal, za kaj opravil?
18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
Naprosil sem Tita in ž njim poslal brata; jeli vas je Tit za kaj opravil? nismo li v enem duhu hodili? ne po enih stopinjah?
19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
Zopet mislite, da vam se zagovarjamo? pričo Boga v Kristusu govorimo; a vse to je, ljubljeni, za vaše zbujevanje v pobožnosti.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
Kajti bojim se, da vas kako, kedar k vam pridem, ne najdem kakoršne hočem, in da mene najdete, kakoršnega ne čete; da kako ne bo prepirov, zavisti, srdov, svaj, ogovarjanja, prišepetovanja, napihovanja, puntov;
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
Da me, kedar zopet pridem, ne poniža Bog moj pri vas, in da ne bom žalostil mnogih, kteri so poprej grešili in se niso pokesali za nečistost in kurbirstvo in hotljivost, ktero so počeli.
