2 Korintierne 7
1 Sidan me då hev desse lovnaderne, mine kjære, so lat oss reinsa oss frå all ureinskap på kjøt og ånd og fullføra vår helging i Guds age!
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Gjev oss rom! Ingen hev me gjort urett, ingen hev me skadt, ingen hev me gjenge for nær.
Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
3 Ikkje til fordøming for dykk segjer eg dette; for eg hev sagt det fyrr, at de er i våre hjarto til å døy med oss og liva med oss.
I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
4 Stor er mi tiltru til dykk, stor er mi ros yver dykk, eg er fyllt med trøyst, eg er ovrik på gleda i all vår trengsla.
Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying concerning you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
5 For då me kom til Makedonia, hadde vårt kjøt ikkje heller ro, men me vart trengde på alle måtar; utantil var strid, innantil otte.
For, when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
6 Men Gud, som trøystar det nedtrykte, han trøysta oss ved Titus’ koma,
Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
7 men ikkje berre ved koma hans, men og ved den trøyst han var trøysta med yver dykk, med di han fortalde oss um dykkar lengting, dykkar gråt, dykkar ihuge for meg, so eg vart endå meir glad.
And not by his coming only, but by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
8 For um eg og i brevet gjorde dykk sorg, so angrar eg det ikkje, um eg og fyrr angra det; for eg ser at det brevet gjorde dykk sorg, um og berre ei stund.
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it was but for a season.
9 No gled eg meg, ikkje for di de fekk sorg, men for di de fekk sorg til umvending; for de fekk sorg etter Gud, so de på ingen måte skulde hava skade av oss.
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might suffer loss through us in nothing.
10 For sorgi etter Gud verkar umvending til frelsa, som ingen angrar; men sorgi til verdi verkar daude.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For sjå, dette same at de fekk sorg etter Gud, kor stor ihuge verka ikkje det hjå dykk, ja forsvar, ja harm, ja otte, ja lengting, ja brennhug, ja refsing! I alt viste de at de var reine i denne saki.
For behold this very same thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what diligence it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what avenging of wrong! In all things ye have proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
12 Um eg då og skreiv til dykk, so var det ikkje for hans skuld som gjorde urett, eller for hans skuld som leid urett, men for di at dykkar umhug for oss skulde verta openberra hjå dykk for Guds åsyn.
Therefore, though I wrote to you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.
13 Difor er me trøysta. Og attåt vår trøyst kom den langt større gleda yver Titus’ gleda; for hans ånd er uppkveikt av dykk alle.
Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: and exceedingly the more we rejoiced for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 For um eg til honom hev uttala meg med ros yver dykk, hev eg ikkje vorte til skammar; men liksom me hev tala alt til dykk med sanning, so hev og vår ros til Titus vorte sanning.
For if I have boasted any thing to him concerning you, I am not ashamed; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found to be true.
15 Og hans kjærleik til dykk er endå sterkare, når han minnest lydnaden hjå dykk alle, korleis de tok imot honom med age og otte.
And his affection is more abundant toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16 Eg gled meg yver at eg i alt kann lita på dykk.
I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
