2 Corinthians 8
1 But, britheren, we maken knowun to you the grace of God, that is youun in the chirchis of Macedonye,
Poleg tega, bratje, vam storimo, da veste o Božji milosti, podeljeni makedonskim cerkvam,
2 that in myche asaiyng of tribulacioun, the plente of the ioye of hem was, and the hiyeste pouert of hem was plenteuouse `in to the richessis of the symplenesse of hem.
da je bila v veliki preizkušnji stiske obilica njihovega veselja in njihova globoka revščina obilna v bogastvih njihove velikodušnosti.
3 For Y bere witnessyng to hem, aftir miyt and aboue miyt thei weren wilful,
Kajti po svoji moči, pričujem, da in preko svojih moči so bili sami voljni
4 with myche monestyng bisechynge vs the grace and the comynyng of mynystring, that is maad to hooli men.
in [so] nas z mnogimi prošnjami prosili, da bi mi sprejeli dar in [oni] nase vzeli družbo služenja svetim.
5 And not as we hopiden, but thei yauen hem silf first to the Lord, aftirward to vs bi the wille of God.
In to so storili, ne kakor smo upali, temveč so najprej sebe izročili Gospodu in po Božji volji nam.
6 So that we preyeden Tite, that as he bigan, so also he performe in you this grace.
Tako, da smo prosili Tita, da kakor je začel, tako naj isto milost v vas tudi konča.
7 But as ye abounden in alle thingis, in feith, and word, and kunnyng, and al bisynesse, more ouer and in youre charite in to vs, that and in this grace ye abounden.
Torej kakor ste obilni v vsaki stvari, v veri, izgovarjavi, spoznanju, v vsej marljivosti in v vaši ljubezni do nas, glejte, da ste obilni tudi v tej milosti.
8 Y seie not as comaundinge, but bi the bisynesse of othere men appreuynge also the good wit of youre charite.
Ne govorim po zapovedi, temveč z razlogom gorečnosti drugih in da dokažem iskrenost vaše ljubezni.
9 And ye witen the grace of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, for he was maad nedi for you, whanne he was riche, that ye schulden be maad riche bi his nedynesse.
Kajti poznate milost našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, da čeprav je bil bogat, je vendar zaradi vas postal ubog, da bi po njegovi revščini vi lahko obogateli.
10 And Y yyue counsel in this thing; for this is profitable to you, that not oneli han bigunne to do, but also ye bigunnen to haue wille fro the formere yere.
In v tem dajem svoj nasvet, kajti to je koristno za vas, ki ste prej začeli, ne samo delati, temveč ste bili prizadevni tudi pred enim letom.
11 But now parfourme ye in deed, that as the discrecioun of wille is redi, so be it also of parformyng of that that ye han.
Zdaj torej izvršite to delo; da kakor je bila pripravljenost hoteti, tako bo lahko tudi izvršitev iz tega, kar imate.
12 For if the wille be redi, it is acceptid aftir that that it hath, not aftir that that it hath not.
Kajti če je bil najprej voljan um, je sprejet glede na to, kar človek ima, in ne glede na to, česar nima.
13 And not that it be remyssioun to othere men, and to you tribulacioun;
Kajti ne mislim, da bi bili drugi ljudje olajšani, vi pa obteženi,
14 but of euenesse in the present tyme youre aboundance fulfille the myseese of hem, that also the aboundaunce of hem be a fulfillynge of youre myseise, that euenesse be maad; as it is writun,
temveč prek enakosti, da lahko sedaj, ob tem času, vaše obilje postane oskrba za njihovo siromaštvo, da bo njihovo obilje lahko tudi oskrba za vaše siromaštvo, da bo lahko enakost,
15 He that gaderide myche, was not encresid, and he that gaderide litil, hadde not lesse.
kakor je pisano: ›Kdor je nabral veliko, ni imel ničesar preveč, in kdor je nabral malo, ni imel pomanjkanja.‹
16 And Y do thankyngis to God, that yaf the same bisynesse for you in the herte of Tite,
Toda zahvala bodi Bogu, ki je na Titovo srce položil isto iskreno skrb za vas.
17 for he resseyuede exortacioun; but whanne he was bisier, bi his wille he wente forth to you.
Kajti zares je sprejel spodbudo; toda ker je bil bolj prizadeven, je k vam odšel iz svojega lastnega nagiba.
18 And we senten with hym a brother, whose preisyng is in the gospel bi alle chirchis.
In z njim smo poslali brata, katerega hvala v evangeliju je po vseh celotnih cerkvah;
19 And not oneli, but also he is ordeyned of chirchis the felowe of oure pilgrimage in to this grace, that is mynystrid of vs to the glorie of the Lord, and to oure ordeyned wille;
in ne samo to, temveč ki je bil tudi od cerkvá izbran, da potuje z nami s to milostjo, ki je po nas preskrbljena v slavo istega Gospoda in izjavi vašega pripravljenega mišljenja;
20 eschewynge this thing, that no man blame vs in this plente, that is mynystrid of vs to the glorye of the Lord.
izogibajoč se temu, da nas noben človek ne bi mogel oštevati v tem obilju, ki je preskrbljeno po nas;
21 For we purueyen good thingis, not onely bifor God, but also bifor alle men.
ko skrbimo za poštene stvari, ne samo v Gospodovih očeh, temveč tudi v očeh ljudi.
22 For we senten with hem also oure brothir, whom we han preued in many thingis ofte, that he was bisi, but nowe myche bisier, for myche trist in you,
In z njima smo poslali našega brata, ki se nam je pogosto v mnogih stvareh izkazal marljivega, toda sedaj mnogo bolj marljivega na veliko zaupanje, ki ga imam v vas.
23 ethir for Tite, that is my felowe and helpere in you, ethir for oure britheren, apostlis of the chirches of the glorie of Crist.
Če kdorkoli poizveduje o Titu, je glede vas moj družabnik in sopomočnik, ali če bodo poizvedovali o [dveh] naših bratih, sta odposlanca cerkvá in Kristusova slava.
24 Therfor schewe ye in to hem in the face of chirchis, that schewynge that is of youre charite and of oure glorie for you.
Zatorej pokažite njim in pred cerkvami dokaz svoje ljubezni in našega bahanja vam v prid.
