2 Korinčanom 1
1 Pavel, po Božji volji apostol Jezusa Kristusa, in naš brat Timótej Božji cerkvi, ki je v Korintu, z vsemi svetimi, ki so po vsej Ahaji:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2 ›Milost bodi vam in mir od Boga, našega Očeta in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.‹
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, celó Oče našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, Oče usmiljenj in Bog vse tolažbe,
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 ki nas tolaži v vsaki naši stiski, da bomo sposobni tolažiti te, ki so v kakršnikoli težavi, s tolažbo, s katero smo mi sami potolaženi od Boga.
Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 Kajti kakor so Kristusova trpljenja obilna v nas, tako je obilna tudi naša tolažba po Kristusu.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.
6 Če pa smo stiskani, je to za vašo tolažbo in rešitev duš, ki je učinkovita v prestajanju istih trpljenj, ki jih tudi mi prenašamo; ali če smo potolaženi, je to zaradi vaše tolažbe in rešitve duš.
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7 In naše upanje o vas je neomajno, vedoč, da kakor ste udeleženci trpljenj, tako boste postali tudi tolažbe.
And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as all of you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall all of you be also of the consolation.
8 Kajti nočemo, bratje, da bi bili vi nevedni o naši težavi, ki je k nam prišla v Aziji, da smo bili stiskani preko mere, nad močjo, tako zelo, da smo obupali celó nad življenjem.
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 Toda v sebi smo imeli smrtno obsodbo, da ne bi zaupali vase, temveč v Boga, ki obuja mrtve;
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead:
10 ki nas je osvobodil iz tako velike smrti in še osvobaja; v katerega zaupamo, da nas bo še osvobajal.
Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 Tudi vi skupaj pomagate z molitvijo za nas, da bi bila lahko zaradi daru, podarjenega nam, s pomočjo mnogih oseb, dana zahvala z naše strani.
All of you also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
12 Kajti naše veselje je to, pričevanje naše vesti, da smo se v svetu vedli s preprostostjo in pobožno iskrenostjo, ne z meseno modrostjo, temveč z Božjo milostjo in bolj obilno posebej do vas.
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 Kajti ne pišemo vam nobenih drugih stvari, kakor kar berete ali spoznavate; in zaupam, da boste spoznali celó do konca;
For we write no other things unto you, than what all of you read or acknowledge; and I trust all of you shall acknowledge even to the end;
14 kakor ste nas tudi vi deloma spoznali, da smo mi vaše veselje, celó kakor ste tudi vi naše na dan Gospoda Jezusa.
As also all of you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as all of you also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 V tem zaupanju sem bil voljan prej priti k vam, da bi vi lahko imeli dvojno korist;
And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that all of you might have a second benefit;
16 in mimo vas iti v Makedonijo in iz Makedonije ponovno priti k vam in bi bil od vas pospremljen na svoji poti proti Judeji.
And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
17 Ko sem bil torej takih misli, ali sem uporabil lahkomiselnost? Ali stvari, ki jih nameravam, nameravam storiti glede na meso, da bo z menoj »da, « »da« in »ne, « »ne«?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I use levity? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
18 Toda kakor je Bog resničen, naša beseda do vas ni bila »da« in »ne.«
But as God is true, our word (logos) toward you was not yea and nay.
19 Kajti Božji Sin, Jezus Kristus, ki je bil med vami oznanjen po nas, celó po meni in Silvánu ter Timóteju, ni bil »da« in »ne, « temveč je bil v njem »da.«
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20 Kajti vse Božje obljube so v njem »da« in v njem »Amen« v Božjo slavo po nas.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Torej tisti, ki nas z vami utrjuje v Kristusu in nas je mazilil, je Bog;
Now he which establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;
22 ki nas je tudi zapečatil in v naša srca dal poroštvo Duha.
Who has also sealed us, and given the earn of the Spirit (pneuma) in our hearts.
23 Poleg tega kličem Boga za pričo nad svojo dušo, da doslej še nisem prišel k vam v Korint, da bi vam prizanesel.
Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
24 Ne, ker bi imeli gospostvo nad vašo vero, temveč smo pomočniki vaše radosti; kajti stojite po veri.
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith all of you stand.
