2 Corinthians 11
1 [But now, because my opponents are saying that Christ sent them to you as his representatives and that he did not send me], please be patient with me, too, [while I say a] few things [that may sound as if] [IRO] [I am praising myself, like] a foolish person [would do. You have been] ([putting up with/tolerating]) [those who teach what is false; ] now then, (put up with/tolerate) me [too].
Bog daj, da bi lahko z menoj malo zdržali v moji neumnosti, in zares potrpite z menoj.
2 I really do care about [what happens to] you, just as God cares about [what happens to you. Just like a father wants his daughter to be sexually pure when he presents her to the man she will marry] [MET], I [want you to belong] to Christ [alone and to no other]. I want to present you [to him] as people who remain faithful to him [only, and who have not believed the deceitful message of those who are teaching what is false].
Kajti nad vami sem ljubosumen z bogaboječo ljubosumnostjo, kajti zaročil sem vas z enim soprogom, da vas lahko kakor čiste device predstavim Kristusu.
3 However, just like [Satan, when he] cunningly [appeared as a] snake, deceived Eve [and caused her to disobey the Lord God], I am concerned that [those teachers] will cause you to think wrongly so that you will no longer [be faithful to] Christ alone.
Toda bojim se, da ne bi bila na kakršenkoli način, kakor je kača s svojo premetenostjo preslepila Evo, tudi vaša mišljenja pokvarjena proč od preprostosti, ki je v Kristusu.
4 [I say that] because some people have come among you who are teaching [their own thoughts about] Jesus. They [are saying about him] things that are [entirely] different from what I taught you. [They are urging] you to receive a [powerful] spirit who [would come to live in you], but it is not the same [Spirit] that you received [from God when you believed in Christ]. They preach [what they call] a good message, and you accept [their message, even though it is not the same as the good message about Christ that you heard from me. And] you have gladly accepted them and their message!
Kajti če tisti, ki prihaja, oznanja drugega Jezusa, ki ga nismo oznanili ali če sprejmete drugega duha, ki ga niste prejeli ali drug evangelij, ki ga niste sprejeli, bi bili mogoče z njim prizanesljivi.
5 I consider that [LIT] none of those [men, even though they think of themselves as being] [IRO] extra-special apostles, are in any way greater than I am.
Kajti domnevam, da nisem bil niti malo za zelo vodilnimi apostoli.
6 [I admit that] I am not an eloquent speaker, but I do know [God’s message]. I have made that clear to you by everything [that I have done among you and by everything that I have taught you].
Toda čeprav sem grob v govoru, pa nisem v spoznanju; toda med vami smo se temeljito razodeli v vseh stvareh.
7 [I refused to accept money] from you as pay for teaching you God’s message about Christ. (It is ridiculous for you to think that what I did was wrong!/Was that wrong?) [RHQ] [I know that by teaching you without pay], I made myself seem [IRO] unimportant to you. [But I did it] to honor you.
Ali sem zagrešil prestopek s poniževanjem samega sebe, da bi bili vi lahko povišani, ker sem vam brez plačila oznanil Božji evangelij?
8 [Some people might say that it was as though] [IRO] I was robbing other congregations because I accepted money from them in order that I might work among you.
Odvzel sem drugim cerkvam in od njih jemal plačila, da vam storim uslugo.
9 Furthermore, when I was [there] with you and had no [money to buy the things that I needed], I did not cause any [of you] ([to have difficulties by my depending on you/by asking you for money/support]), because our [(inc)] fellow believers who came from [here in] Macedonia [province] brought enough [money for me to buy everything] that I needed. So I have not caused you any difficulty at all [by asking you for money], and I never will [ask you for money] [EUP].
In ko sem bil prisoten z vami in trpel pomanjkanje, nisem bil v breme nobenemu človeku, kajti to, kar mi je primanjkovalo, so preskrbeli bratje, ki so prišli iz Makedonije. In v vseh stvareh sem se varoval pred tem, da bi vam bil v breme in tako se bom varoval.
10 [And] as [sure as you know that] everything that Christ says is true, [you can be sure that what] I say [to you now is true. Wherever I go] there in Achaia [province], [I do not let you believers pay me for doing God’s work among you]. And no one will be able to prevent me from boasting [about that].
Kakor je Kristusova resnica v meni, me v področjih Ahaje noben človek ne bo ustavil v tem bahanju.
11 No one should wrongly [RHQ] think that it is because I do not love you that [I do not take pay from you]. God knows [that you truly/really are very dear to me].
Zakaj? Ker vas ne ljubim? Bog ve.
12 There are [some men there among you] who would like to be able to say boastfully that they [work among you] just as I do. So, in order to make it impossible [IDM] [for them to say that], I have [refused to accept pay from you], and I will continue doing that.
Toda kar delam, to bom delal, da bom lahko odsekal priložnost pred temi, ki želijo priložnost; da bodo, v čemer se ponašajo, lahko najdeni kakor mi.
13 Those men are lying [when they say that they are] apostles. They work deceitfully. [Even though they say that they work for God, they are working only for themselves]. They try to make people think that Christ [sent them] as his apostles, [but they do not truly represent him].
Kajti takšni so lažni apostoli, varljivi delavci, ki se prenarejajo v Kristusove apostole.
14 I am not surprised [that they act like that], because Satan himself causes people to think [that he has come] as a shining messenger [from God].
In nič čudnega; kajti sam Satan se prenareja v angela svetlobe.
15 So it should not surprise [you] if these men, who [really] serve [Satan, do good things in order] to make you think they [serve God]. Some day God will [punish them] according to what they deserve because of the [evil] things that they do.
Torej ni nič posebnega, če so tudi njegovi služabniki prenarejeni kakor služabniki pravičnosti, katerih konec bo glede na njihova dela.
16 I say again: I do not want any of you to think that my [boasting about myself] is like foolish [people] boast. But even if anyone [thinks that I am boasting about myself like a foolish person boasts, listen to] what I [have to say anyway, just like you listen to those false apostles]. They really [speak] foolishly! Listen to me while I also boast a little.
Ponovno pravim: ›Naj me noben človek nima za bedaka; če drugače, me vendar sprejmite kakor bedaka, da se bom lahko malce bahal.
17 About the things that I am [going to tell you], boasting confidently [about myself, surely you know that they are not the kind of things] that the Lord [Jesus] would say. Instead, [I will speak] as a foolish [person would speak].
To, kar govorim, tega ne govorim po Gospodu, temveč kakor bi bilo nespametno v tem zaupanju bahanja.
18 Because many among you are boasting [about their own work], as unbelievers do, I will also boast [about myself and my work] [MTY, IRO].
Ker pa se mnogi ponašajo po mesu, se bom tudi jaz ponašal.
19 [I am sure that you, who think that you are so wise, will accept what I say] because you gladly [accept the] false teachers and the foolish things [that they say].
Kajti z veseljem trpite bedake, ker ste vi sami modri.
20 When people [treat] you as if they were your bosses, you gladly submit [to them. You think that it is all right when others] force you to provide for their needs. You think that it is all right [when people] take control over you, when they boast about themselves, [or when they insult you by] slapping you in the face.
Kajti trpite, če vas človek privleče v suženjstvo, če vas človek požira, če od vas človek jemlje, če človek sebe povišuje, če vas človek udari po obrazu.
21 I agree that I was not bold enough to treat you in such ways. [Ha! Do you think that] [IRO] I should feel ashamed [because I did not do that?] So now, talking like a person who does not have any sense, I will boldly tell you [some things about myself, just like those false apostles tell you things about themselves].
Govorim glede graje, kakor bi bili šibki. Čeprav v čemer je kdorkoli drzen (govorim nespametno), sem tudi sam drzen.
22 Do [they tell you] that they are Hebrews [and can speak the Hebrew language?] Well, I can say the same thing [about myself]. Do they [tell you that they] belong [to God’s people], the nation of Israel? Well, I can say the same thing [about myself]. [Do they tell you that] they are descendants of [our great] ancestor Abraham? Well, he is my ancestor, too.
Ali so Hebrejci? Tudi jaz sem. Ali so Izraelci? Tudi jaz sem. Ali so Abrahamovo seme? Tudi jaz sem.
23 [Do they tell you how much] work they have done for Christ? Now I am talking like a crazy person talks [EUP]. Well, I work for Christ much more [than they do. I have been] in prison many more times [than they have. Many times I] have been beaten {[people] have beaten me} very severely [because I believe in and obey Christ]. Many times I almost died [because of serving Christ].
Ali so Kristusovi služabniki? (Govorim kakor bedak.) Jaz sem bolj; obilnejši v naporih, nad mero pri bičanjih, pogosteje v ječah, često v smrtnih nevarnostih.
24 On five occasions Jewish [religious leaders] beat me 39 times with a whip.
Od Judov sem petkrat prejel štirideset udarcev z bičem, izvzemši enega.
25 On three occasions I was beaten {[Roman] officials beat me} with wooden sticks. On one occasion [a large crowd of people] threw stones at me [to kill me]. On three occasions the ship [that I was traveling on] was wrecked [and sank. On one of those occasions] I was [floating] in the water a night and a day [before I was rescued].
Trikrat sem bil pretepen s šibami, enkrat sem bil kamnan, trikrat sem pretrpel brodolom, noč in dan sem bil na globokem morju;
26 As I have often traveled to other places, [I have often risked losing my life. For example], sometimes I have been in danger [crossing] rivers. [I have been] in danger [traveling in places] where there were bandits. [At times I have been in] danger among people of my own nation, [the Jews], and [at other times I been in] danger among those who are not Jews. [I have been] in danger in cities, and I have been in dangerous situations in barren areas. I have been in dangerous situations [when I was traveling in ships]. [I have been in] danger among people who falsely [claim to be] fellow believers.
pogosto na potovanjih, v nevarnostih od vodá, v nevarnostih od roparjev, v nevarnostih od svojih lastnih rojakov, v nevarnostih od poganov, v nevarnostih v mestu, v nevarnostih v divjini, v nevarnostih na morju, v nevarnostih med lažnivimi brati;
27 I have worked very hard [DOU] [to earn] ([a living/what I need]), and often I did not sleep. At times I was hungry and thirsty, and at times I did not have enough time to eat. Sometimes I was cold [because] I did not have enough clothes [to wear].
v utrujenostih in bolestih, v pogostih bedenjih, v lakoti in žeji, v pogostih postih, v mrazu in nagoti.
28 In addition to all that, I am constantly and deeply concerned about all the congregations [that I have helped to begin].
Poleg teh stvari, ki so zunanje, to, kar dnevno prihaja nadme, [še] skrb za vse cerkve.
29 [Every time that I hear about fellow believers] [RHQ] who are not strong [spiritually], I sympathize with them [and try to help them. Every time that I learn about a fellow believer] [RHQ] who causes [another believer] to do something wrong, that makes me very angry.
Kdo je slaboten in jaz nisem slaboten? Kdo je užaljen in jaz ne gorim?
30 Because [it seems that] it is necessary for me to [continue] boasting [about myself], I will boast about things that [caused some people to think of me] as being weak.
Če se moram nujno ponašati, se bom ponašal s stvarmi, ki se tičejo mojih slabotnosti.
31 God, who is the Father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus, and who is the one [whom we should] praise forever, knows that I am not lying [about this]. (aiōn g165)
Bog in Oče našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, ki je blagoslovljen na vékomaj, ve, da ne lažem. (aiōn g165)
32 [One time when I was] in Damascus [city], the governor whom King Aretas [had appointed] to rule [part of his area, told his soldiers] to guard [the gates of] the city so that they could seize me [if I tried to leave the city].
V Damasku je voditelj pod kraljem Arétom z garnizijo zastražil mesto Damaščanov, željan, da me zgrabi,
33 But [my friends] helped me to escape [by] putting me in a large basket and lowering me [to the ground by a rope] through an opening in the [city] wall. [That was really humiliating]!
pa sem bil skozi okno v košu spuščen dol ob zidu in pobegnil njegovim rokam.‹
