2 Corinthians 11
1 O that you were bearing with me a little of the folly, but you also bear with me:
O kad biste podnijeli nešto malo bezumlja mojega! Da, podnesite me!
2 for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I betrothed you to one Husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,
Ljubomoran sam doista na vas Božjim ljubomorom: ta zaručih vas s jednim mužem, kao čistu djevicu privedoh vas Kristu.
3 and I fear, lest, as the serpent deceived Eve in his subtlety, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the Christ;
Ali se bojim da se - kao što zmija zavede Evu svojom lukavštinom - misli vaše ne pokvare i odmetnu od iskrenosti prema Kristu.
4 for if, indeed, he who is coming preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or you receive another spirit which you did not receive, or other good news which you did not accept—well were you bearing [it],
Uistinu, ako tko dođe i propovijeda drugog Isusa, kojega mi nismo propovijedali - ili ako drugoga Duha primate, kojega niste primili; ili drugo evanđelje, koje niste prigrlili - takva lijepo podnosÄite.
5 for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
Smatram, eto, da ni u čemu nisam manji od “nadapostola”.
6 and even if a commoner in speech—yet not in knowledge, but in everything we were made evident in all things to you.
Jer ako sam i nevješt u govoru, nisam u znanju; naprotiv, u svemu vam ga i pred svima očitovasmo.
7 Did I do sin—humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I freely proclaimed the good news of God to you?
Ili sam grijeh počinio što sam vam - ponizujući sebe da se vi uzvisite - besplatno navješćivao Božje evanđelje?
8 I robbed other assemblies, having taken wages, for your ministry;
Druge sam crkve plijenio, od njih primao potporu da bih mogao vama služiti. I dok bijah u vas, premda u oskudici, nikomu nisam bio na teret.
9 and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for the brothers supplied my lack—having come from Macedonia—and I kept myself burdenless to you in everything, and will keep.
U oskudici su mi pomogla braća koja dođoše iz Makedonije. U svemu sam se čuvao da vam ne budem težak, a i čuvat ću se.
10 The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting will not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;
Istine mi Kristove u meni, ove mi hvale nitko neće oduzeti u ahajskim krajevima.
11 for what reason? Because I do not love you? God has known!
Zašto? Jer vas ne ljubim? Bog znade!
12 And what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;
A što činim, i dalje ću činiti da izbijem izliku onima koji izliku traže ne bi li se s nama izjednačili u onom čime se hvastaju.
13 for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,
Jer takvi su ljudi lažni apostoli, himbeni radnici, prerušuju se u apostole Kristove.
14 and no wonder—for even Satan transforms himself into a messenger of light;
I nikakvo čudo! Ta sam se Sotona prerušuje u anđela svjetla.
15 [it is] no great thing, then, if his servants also transform themselves as servants of righteousness—whose end will be according to their works.
Ništa osobito dakle ako se i službenici njegovi prerušuju u službenike pravednosti. Svršetak će im biti po djelima njihovim.
16 Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, receive me even as a fool, that I also may boast a little.
Opet velim: da me tko ne bi smatrao bezumnim! Uostalom, primite me makar i kao bezumna da se i ja nešto malo pohvalim.
17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the LORD, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;
Što govorim, ne govorim po Gospodnju, nego kao u bezumlju, u ovoj hvalisavoj smionosti.
18 since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:
Budući da se mnogi hvale po ljudsku, i ja ću se hvaliti.
19 for you gladly bear with the fools—being wise,
Ta rado podnosÄite bezumne, vi umni!
20 for you bear, if anyone is bringing you under bondage, if anyone devours, if anyone takes away, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone strikes you on the face;
Da, podnosÄite ako vas tko zarobljava, ako vas tko proždire, ako tko otima, ako se tko uznosi, ako vas tko po obrazu bije.
21 I speak in reference to dishonor, how that we were weak, and in whatever anyone is bold—in foolishness I say [it]—I also am bold.
Na sramotu govorim: bili smo, biva, slabi! Ipak, čime se god tko osmjeljuje - u bezumlju govorim - osmjeljujem se i ja!
22 Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they seed of Abraham? I also!
Hebreji su? I ja sam! Izraelci su? I ja sam! Potomstvo su Abrahamovo? I ja sam!
23 Are they servants of Christ? As [if] beside myself I speak—I [am] more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times.
Poslužitelji su Kristovi? Kao mahnit govorim: ja još više! U naporima - preobilno; u tamnicama - preobilno; u batinama - prekomjerno; u smrtnim pogiblima - često.
24 Five times I received from Jews forty [stripes] except one;
Od Židova primio sam pet puta po četrdeset manje jednu.
25 three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I have passed a night and a day in the deep;
Triput sam bio šiban, jednom kamenovan, triput doživio brodolom, jednu noć i dan proveo sam u bezdanu.
26 journeys many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from [my own] race, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brothers;
Česta putovanja, pogibli od rijeka, pogibli od razbojnika, pogibli od sunarodnjaka, pogibli od pogana, pogibli u gradu, pogibli u pustinji, pogibli na moru, pogibli od lažne braće;
27 in laboriousness and painfulness, many times in watchings, in hunger and thirst, many times in fastings, in cold and nakedness;
u trudu i naporu, često u nespavanju, u gladu i žeđi, često u postovima, u studeni i golotinji!
28 apart from the things without—the crowding on me that is daily—the care of all the assemblies.
Osim toga, uz drugo, salijetanje svakodnevno, briga za sve crkve.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I am not burned?
Tko je slab, a ja da ne budem slab? Tko se sablažnjuje, a ja da ne izgaram?
30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness;
Treba li se hvaliti, svojom ću se slabošću hvaliti.
31 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ—who is blessed for all ages—has known that I do not lie! (aiōn g165)
Bog i Otac Gospodina Isusa, blagoslovljen u vijeke, zna da ne lažem. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor [under] Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,
U Damasku namjesnik kralja Arete čuvaše grad damaščanski hoteći me uhvatiti.
33 and I was let down through a window in a rope basket, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
Ali kroz prozor spustiše me u košari preko zida te umakoh njegovim rukama.
