2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the Assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the holy ones who are in all Achaia:

Pavel, po Božji volji apostol Jezusa Kristusa, in naš brat Timótej Božji cerkvi, ki je v Korintu, z vsemi svetimi, ki so po vsej Ahaji:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

›Milost bodi vam in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.‹

3 Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort,

Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, celó Oče našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, Oče usmiljenj in Bog vse tolažbe,

4 who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

ki nas tolaži v vsaki naši stiski, da bomo sposobni tolažiti te, ki so v kakršnikoli težavi, s tolažbo, s katero smo mi sami potolaženi od Boga.

5 because, as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so through the Christ our comfort also abounds;

Kajti kakor so Kristusova trpljenja obilna v nas, tako je obilna tudi naša tolažba po Kristusu.

6 and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is worked in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;

Če pa smo stiskani, je to za vašo tolažbo in rešitev duš, ki je učinkovita v prestajanju istih trpljenj, ki jih tudi mi prenašamo; ali če smo potolaženi, je to zaradi vaše tolažbe in rešitve duš.

7 and our hope [is] steadfast for you, knowing that even as you are partakers of the sufferings—so also of the comfort.

In naše upanje o vas je neomajno, vedoč, da kakor ste udeleženci trpljenj, tako boste postali tudi tolažbe.

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we even despaired of life;

Kajti nočemo, bratje, da bi bili vi nevedni o naši težavi, ki je k nam prišla v Aziji, da smo bili stiskani preko mere, nad močjo, tako zelo, da smo obupali celó nad življenjem.

9 but we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

Toda v sebi smo imeli smrtno obsodbo, da ne bi zaupali vase, temveč v Boga, ki obuja mrtve;

10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and delivers, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

ki nas je osvobodil iz tako velike smrti in še osvobaja; v katerega zaupamo, da nas bo še osvobajal.

11 you also working together for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many, may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

Tudi vi skupaj pomagate z molitvijo za nas, da bi bila lahko zaradi daru, podarjenega nam, s pomočjo mnogih oseb, dana zahvala z naše strani.

12 For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

Kajti naše veselje je to, pričevanje naše vesti, da smo se v svetu vedli s preprostostjo in pobožno iskrenostjo, ne z meseno modrostjo, temveč z Božjo milostjo in bolj obilno posebej do vas.

13 for no other things do we write to you, but what you either read or also acknowledge, and I hope that you will also acknowledge to the end,

Kajti ne pišemo vam nobenih drugih stvari, kakor kar berete ali spoznavate; in zaupam, da boste spoznali celó do konca;

14 according as you also acknowledged us in part, that we are your glory, even as also you [are] ours, in the Day of the Lord Jesus;

kakor ste nas tudi vi deloma spoznali, da smo mi vaše veselje, celó kakor ste tudi vi naše na dan Gospoda Jezusa.

15 and in this confidence I was intending to come to you before, that you might have a second favor,

V tem zaupanju sem bil voljan prej priti k vam, da bi vi lahko imeli dvojno korist;

16 and to pass to Macedonia through you, and to come to you again from Macedonia, and to be sent forward by you to Judea.

in mimo vas iti v Makedonijo in iz Makedonije ponovno priti k vam in bi bil od vas pospremljen na svoji poti proti Judeji.

17 This, therefore, intending, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, [did] I counsel according to the flesh, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

Ko sem bil torej takih misli, ali sem uporabil lahkomiselnost? Ali stvari, ki jih nameravam, nameravam storiti glede na meso, da bo z menoj »da, « »da« in »ne, « »ne«?

18 And God [is] faithful, that our word to you did not become Yes and No,

Toda kakor je Bog resničen, naša beseda do vas ni bila »da« in »ne.«

19 for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, having been preached through us among you—through me and Silvanus and Timotheus—did not become Yes and No, but in Him it has become Yes;

Kajti Božji Sin, Jezus Kristus, ki je bil med vami oznanjen po nas, celó po meni in Silvánu ter Timóteju, ni bil »da« in »ne, « temveč je bil v njem »da.«

20 for as many as [are] promises of God, in Him [are] the Yes, and in Him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

Kajti vse Božje obljube so v njem »da« in v njem »Amen« v Božjo slavo po nas.

21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and anointed us, [is] God,

Torej tisti, ki nas z vami utrjuje v Kristusu in nas je mazilil, je Bog;

22 who also sealed us, and gave the deposit of the Spirit in our hearts.

ki nas je tudi zapečatil in v naša srca dal poroštvo Duha.

23 And I call on God for a witness on my soul, that sparing you, I did not come to Corinth yet;

Poleg tega kličem Boga za pričo nad svojo dušo, da doslej še nisem prišel k vam v Korint, da bi vam prizanesel.

24 not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by faith you stand.

Ne, ker bi imeli gospostvo nad vašo vero, temveč smo pomočniki vaše radosti; kajti stojite po veri.
