Второе послание к Коринфянам 12
1 Похвалитися же не пользует ми: прииду бо в видения и откровения Господня.
It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Вем человека о Христе, прежде лет четыренадесяти: аще в теле, не вем, аще ли кроме тела, не вем, Бог весть: восхищена бывша таковаго до третияго небесе.
I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I don’t know, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows.
3 И вем такова человека: аще в теле, или кроме тела, не вем: Бог весть:
I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),
4 яко восхищен бысть в рай, и слыша неизреченны глаголголы, ихже не леть есть человеку глаголати.
how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 О таковем похвалюся: о себе же не похвалюся, токмо о немощех моих.
On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
6 Аще бо восхощу похвалитися, не буду безумен, истину бо реку: жажду же, да не како кто вознепщует о мне паче, еже видит мя, или слышит что от мене.
For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
7 И за премногая откровения да не превозношуся, дадеся ми пакостник плоти, аггел сатанин, да ми пакости деет, да не превозношуся.
By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
8 О сем трикраты Господа молих, да отступит от мене,
Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9 и рече ми: довлеет ти благодать Моя: сила бо Моя в немощи совершается. Сладце убо похвалюся паче в немощех моих, да вселится в мя сила Христова.
He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
10 Темже благоволю в немощех, в досаждениих, в бедах, во изгнаниих, в теснотах по Христе: егда бо немощствую, тогда силен есмь.
Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 Бых несмыслен хваляся: вы мя понудисте. Аз бо должен бех от вас хвалимь бывати: ничимже бо лишихся первейших Апостол, аще и ничтоже есмь:
I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
12 знамения бо Апостолова содеяшася в вас во всяцем терпении, в знамениих и чудесех и силах.
Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
13 Что бо есть, егоже лишистеся паче прочих церквей, разве точию яко аз сам не стужих вам? Дадите ми неправду сию.
For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
14 Се третие готов есмь приити к вам, и не стужу вам: не ищу бо ваших, но вас. Не должна бо суть чада родителем снискати имения, но родителе чадом.
Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 Аз же в сладость иждиву и иждивен буду по душах ваших, аще и излишше вас любя, менше любимь есмь.
I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
16 Буди же, аз не отягчих вас, но коварен сый, лестию вас приях.
Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. But you might say that being crafty, I caught you with deception.
17 Еда коим от посланных к вам лихоимствовах вас?
Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you?
18 Умолих Тита, и с ним послах брата: еда лихоимствова чим вас Тит? Не темже ли духом ходихома? Не темиже ли стопами?
I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?
19 Паки ли мните, яко ответ вам творим? Пред Богом, о Христе глаголем: вся же, возлюбленнии, о вашем созидании и утверждении.
Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
20 Боюся же, еда како пришед, не яцех же хощу, обрящу вас, и аз обрящуся вам, якова же не хощете: да не како будут рвения, зависти, ярости, рети, клеветы, шептания, кичения, нестроения:
For I am afraid that perhaps when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that perhaps there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,
21 да не паки пришедша мя смирит Бог мой у вас, и восплачуся многих прежде согрешших и не покаявшихся о нечистоте и блужении и студоложствии, яже содеяша.
that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness, sexual immorality, and lustfulness which they committed.
