2 Korinæanima 12
1 Ali mi se ne pomaže hvaliti, jer æu doæi na viðenja i otkrivenja Gospodnja.
It behooves me to glory, indeed it is not profitable, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Znam èovjeka u Hristu koji prije èetrnaest godina ili u tijelu, ne znam; ili osim tijela, ne znam: Bog zna) bi odnesen do treæega neba.
I knew a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, whether in the body, I know not; whether out of the body, I know not, such a one having been caught up even to the third heaven.
3 I znam za takovog èovjeka ili u tijelu, ili osim tijela, ne znam: Bog zna)
And I knew such a man, whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not; God knows,
4 Da bi odnesen u raj, i èu neiskazane rijeèi kojijeh èovjeku nije slobodno govoriti.
that he was caught up to Paradise, and heard unutterable words, which it is impossible for a man to speak.
5 Tijem æu se hvaliti, a sobom se neæu hvaliti, veæ ako slabostima svojima.
Concerning such a one I will glory: but concerning myself I will not glory, except in my infirmities.
6 Jer kad bih se i htio hvaliti, ne bih bio bezuman, jer bih istinu kazao; ali štedim da ne bi ko više pomislio za mene nego što me vidi ili èuje što od mene.
For if I shall wish to glory, I will not be a fool; for I speak the truth: but I fear, lest some one may consider with reference to me above what he sees me, or hears from me.
7 I da se ne bih ponio za premnoga otkrivenja, dade mi se žalac u meso, anðeo sotonin, da me æuša da se ne ponosim.
And that I may not be exalted by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given unto me in the flesh, the messenger of Satan that he may buffet me, in order that I may not be exalted.
8 Zato triput Gospoda molih da otstupi od mene.
Three times I called on the Lord concerning this, that it may depart from me.
9 I reèe mi: dosta ti je moja blagodat; jer se moja sila u slabosti pokazuje sasvijem. Daklem æe se najslaðe hvaliti svojijem slabostima, da se useli u mene sila Hristova.
And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most delightfully I will glory the more in my infirmities, in order that the power of Christ may abide on me.
10 Zato sam dobre volje u slabostima, u ruženju, u nevoljama, u progonjenjima, u tugama za Hrista: jer kad sam slab onda sam silan.
Therefore I delight in infirmities, in insults, in difficulties, in persecutions, and in tight places, for Christ's sake: for when I am without strength, then I am dynamite.
11 Postadoh bezuman hvaleæi se: vi me natjeraste: jer je trebalo da me vi hvalite; jer ni u èemu nijesam manji od prevelikijeh apostola, ako i jesam ništa.
I have become a fool: you did compel me. For I ought to be commended by you: for I am not inferior to the very chief of the apostles, if indeed I am nothing.
12 Jer znaci apostolovi uèiniše se meðu vama u svakom trpljenju, u znacima i èudesima i silama.
For indeed the signs of the apostleship are wrought in me in all patience, in miracles and in wonders and in dynamites.
13 Jer šta je u èemu ste manji od ostalijeh crkava, osim samo što vam ja sam ne dosadih? Bacite na mene ovu krivicu.
For what is that in which you are inferior to other churches, except that I did not burden you? forgive me this wrong.
14 Evo sam gotov treæi put da vam doðem, i ne dosaðujem vam; jer ne tražim što je vaše nego vas. Jer djeca nijesu dužna roditeljima imanja teæi nego roditelji djeci.
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not spare: for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasures for the parents, but the parents for the children,
15 A ja dragovoljno potrošiæu i biæu potrošen za duše vaše, ako i ljubim ja vas odviše, a vi mene manje ljubite.
But I will most delightfully spend and be spent for your souls. If the more abundantly I love you am I loved the less?
16 Ali neka bude, ja ne dosadih vama, nego lukav buduæi dobih vas prijevarom.
But let it he so, I did not burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Eda li vas što zakidoh preko koga od onijeh koje slah k vama?
Which one of those whom I sent unto you, did I fleece you through him?
18 Umolih Tita, i s njim poslah brata: eda li vas Tit što zakide? Ne hodismo li jednijem duhom? ne jednijem li stopama?
I called Titus, and sent the brother along with him: whether did Titus defraud you? did we not walk by the same Spirit? did we not in the same tracks?
19 Mislite li opet da vam se odgovaramo? Pred Bogom u Hristu govorimo, a sve je, ljubazni, za vaše popravljanje.
For a long time you were thinking that I am apologizing to you. We speak before God in Christ; but all things, beloved, are for your edification.
20 Jer se bojim da kad po èem doðem neæu vas naæi kakove hoæu, i ja æu se naæi vama kakova me neæete: da kako ne budu svaðe, zavisti, srdnje, prkosi, opadanja, šaptanja, nadimanja, bune:
For I fear lest, having come, I may not find you as I wish, and may not be found by you as you wish; lest perhaps strife, jealousy, animosities, selfseekings, calumniations, eavesdroppings, inflations, outfallings, are among you;
21 Da me opet kad doðem ne ponizi Bog moj u vas, i ne usplaèem za mnogima koji su prije sagriješili i nijesu se pokajali za neèistotu i kurvarstvo i sramotu, što poèiniše.
lest, I again having come, my God will humble me before you, and I will mourn over many of those having previously committed sins, and not having repented over the uncleanness and the fornication and debauchery which they have done.
