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:
Pavao, po volji Božjoj apostol Krista Isusa, i brat Timotej: Crkvi Božjoj u Korintu sa svima svetima u svoj Ahaji.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista!
3 Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort,
Blagoslovljen Bog i Otac Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, Otac milosrđa i Bog svake utjehe!
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;
On nas tješi u svakoj našoj nevolji da bismo i mi sve koji su u nevolji mogli tješiti onom utjehom kojom nas same tješi Bog.
5 because, as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so through the Christ our comfort also abounds;
Jer kao što su obilate patnje Kristove u nama, tako je po Kristu obilata i utjeha naša.
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;
Bili mi nevoljama pritisnuti za vašu je to utjehu i spasenje; bili utješeni, za vašu je utjehu - djelotvornu: da strpljivo podnesete iste patnje koje i mi podnosimo.
7 and our hope [is] steadfast for you, knowing that even as you are partakers of the sufferings—so also of the comfort.
I tako je stamena nada naša o vama jer znamo: kao što ste zajedničari patnja tako ste i utjehe.
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;
Ne bismo doista htjeli, braćo, da ne znate za nevolju koja nas je snašla u Aziji. Bijasmo prekomjerno, preko snage, opterećeni te smo već strepili i za život.
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,
Ali u sebi prihvatismo i smrtnu osudu da se ne bismo uzdali u same sebe, nego u Boga koji uskrisuje mrtve.
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and delivers, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;
On nas je od takve smrti izbavio i izbavit će nas; u njega se uzdamo, on će nas i dalje izbavljati.
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.
A i vi ćete nam pomagati molitvom da bi mnogi za nas zahvaljivali Bogu na milosti koja nam je darovana posredovanjem mnogih.
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;
A ovo je naša slava: svjedočansto naše savjesti da smo u svijetu živjeli - osobito prema vama - u svetosti i iskrenosti Božjoj, ne u mudrosti tjelesnoj, nego u Božjoj milosti.
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,
Ta i ne pišemo vam drugo doli ovo što čitate i razumijete; a nadam se da ćete i do kraja razumjeti,
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;
kao što nas djelomično i razumjeste: da smo mi vaša slava kao i vi naša u Dan Gospodina našega Isusa.
15 and in this confidence I was intending to come to you before, that you might have a second favor,
U tom uvjerenju namjeravao sam najprije doći k vama
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.
i preko vas prijeći u Makedoniju pa se opet, da biste imali i drugu milost, iz Makedonije vratiti k vama da me vi otpratite u Judeju.
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?
Pa jesam li možda bio lakomislen kad sam to namjeravao? Ili što namjeravam, po tijelu namjeravam te je u mene istodobno “Da, da!” i “Ne, ne!”?
18 And God [is] faithful, that our word to you did not become Yes and No,
Bog je svjedok: naša riječ vama nije “Da!” i “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;
jer Sin Božji, Isus Krist, koga mi - ja i Silvan i Timotej - vama navijestismo nije bio “Da!” i “Ne!” nego u njemu bijaše “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;
Doista, sva obećanja Božja u njemu su “Da!”. I stoga po njemu i naš “Amen!” Bogu na slavu!
21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and anointed us, [is] God,
A Bog je onaj koji nas zajedno s vama utvrđuje za Krista; on nas i pomaza,
22 who also sealed us, and gave the deposit of the Spirit in our hearts.
on nas i zapečati i u srca naša dade zalog - Duha.
23 And I call on God for a witness on my soul, that sparing you, I did not come to Corinth yet;
A ja prizivljem Boga za svjedoka: duše mi, da vas poštedim, nisam više dolazio u Korint.
24 not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by faith you stand.
Ta mi nismo gospodari vaše vjere, nego suradnici vaše radosti. Ta u vjeri ste postojani.
