2 Korinčanom 13
1 To je tretjič, [da] prihajam k vam. Po ustih dveh ali treh prič bo ugotovljena vsaka beseda.
This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
2 Povedal sem vam že nekoč in vam drugič napovedujem, kakor če bi bil prisoten; in sedaj odsoten pišem tem, ki so poprej grešili in vsem drugim, da če ponovno pridem, ne bom prizanašal.
I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,
3 Ker iščete dokaz, da Kristus govori v meni, ki posebej do vas ni slaboten, temveč je v vas mogočen.
seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.
4 Kajti čeprav je bil križan zaradi slabosti, vendarle živi z Božjo močjo. Kajti tudi mi smo šibki v njem, toda z Božjo močjo bomo živeli z njim za vas.
For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
5 Izprašajte se, ali ste v veri. Preizkusite se. Ali se ne poznate, da je Jezus Kristus v vas, razen če ste zavrženi?
Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or do not you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
6 Toda zaupam, da boste spoznali, da mi nismo zavrženi.
But I hope that you will know that we are not disqualified.
7 Sedaj molim k Bogu, da ne storite nobenega zla; ne da bi se mi izkazali potrjene, temveč da bi vi storili to, kar je pošteno, čeprav smo mi kakor zavrženi.
Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.
8 Kajti ničesar ne moremo storiti proti resnici, temveč za resnico.
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 Kajti veseli smo, ko smo mi slabotni, vi pa močni; in to tudi želimo, celó vašo popolnost.
For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.
10 Zatorej pišem te stvari v odsotnosti, da ne bi navzoč uporabil ostrine, glede na oblast, ki mi jo je Gospod dal za izgrajevanje in ne za uničenje.
For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
11 Končno, bratje, zbogom. Bodite popolni, bodite dobro potolaženi, bodite enega mišljenja, živite v miru; in z vami bo Bog ljubezni in miru.
Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
12 Pozdravite drug drugega s svetim poljubom.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
13 Pozdravljajo vas vsi sveti.
All the saints greet you.
14 Milost Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in Božja ljubezen in soudeležba Svetega Duha bodi z vami vsemi. Amen. [Druga poslanica Korinčanom je bila napisana iz Filipov, mesta v Makedoniji, po Titu in Luku.]
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
