2 Corinthians 6
1 WE then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
Mi vas potem kot delavci skupaj z njim tudi rotimo, da Božje milosti niste prejeli zaman.
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
(Kajti pravi: »Uslišal sem te v sprejemljivem času in na dan rešitve duše sem ti pomagal; glej, sedaj je odobren čas; glej, sedaj je dan rešitve duše.«)
3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
Ne dajemo nobene spotike v nobeni stvari, da služba ne bo ošteta.
4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
Toda v vseh stvareh se priporočamo kakor Božji služabniki, v veliki potrpežljivosti, v stiskah, v potrebah, v tegobah,
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
v bičanjih, v ječah, pri uporih, v naporih, v bedenjih, v postih,
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
s čistostjo, s spoznanjem, s potrpežljivostjo, s prijaznostjo, s Svetim Duhom, z nehlinjeno ljubeznijo,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
z besedo resnice, z Božjo močjo, z bojno opremo pravičnosti na desni roki in na levi,
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
s spoštovanjem in nespoštovanjem, na slabem in dobrem glasu; kakor sleparji, pa vendar iskreni;
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
kakor neznani, pa vendar dobro znani; kakor umirajoči in glej, živimo; kakor kaznovani, pa ne ubiti;
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
kakor žalostni, vendar vedno veseli; kakor ubogi, vendar mnoge bogatimo; kakor ne bi imeli nič, pa vendar posedujemo vse stvari.
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
Oh vi Korinčani, naša usta so vam odprta, naše srce je širokosrčno.
12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
Vi niste omejeni v nas, temveč ste omejeni v svojih lastnih notranjostih.
13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children, ) be ye also enlarged.
Torej za povračilo v enakem (govorim vam kakor svojim otrokom), bodite tudi vi širokosrčni.
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Ne bodite neenako vpreženi skupaj z neverniki, kajti kakšno družbo ima pravičnost z nepravičnostjo? Ali kakšno udeležbo ima svetloba s temo?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
In kakšno soglasje ima Kristus z Beliálom? Ali kakšen delež ima, kdor veruje, z neverniki?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
In kakšno strinjanje ima Božji tempelj z maliki? Kajti vi ste tempelj živega Boga; kakor je rekel Bog: »Prebival bom v njih in hodil v njih in jaz bom njihov Bog in oni bodo moji ljudje.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
Zatorej pridite ven izmed njih in bodite oddvojeni, « govori Gospod »in nečiste stvari se ne dotikajte; in jaz vas bom sprejel
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
in vam bom Oče in vi boste moji sinovi in hčere, « govori Gospod Vsemogočni.
