2 Korinčanom 2
1 Toda sam pri sebi sem sklenil, da k vam ne bom ponovno prišel s potrtostjo.
For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
2 Kajti če vas užalostim, kdo je torej tisti, ki me razveseljuje, razen istega, ki je po meni užaloščen?
For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
3 In to isto sem napisal vam, da ne bi, ko pridem, imel bridkost od teh, od katerih bi se moral veseliti; ker imam zaupanje v vas vse, da je moje veselje veselje vas vseh.
And I wrote this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
4 Kajti iz precejšnje stiske in tesnobe srca sem vam pisal z mnogimi solzami; ne da bi bili vi užaloščeni, temveč da bi lahko spoznali ljubezen, ki jo imam bolj obilno do vas.
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
5 Toda če je kdorkoli povzročil žalost, ni užalostil mene, temveč deloma, da vas ne bom vse preobremenil.
But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
6 Takšnemu človeku je primerna ta kazen, katera [mu] je bila naložena od večine.
Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
7 Tako da mu morate nasprotno vi raje odpustiti in ga potolažiti, da ne bi bil mogoče tak požrt s preveliko bridkostjo.
so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
8 Zatorej vas rotim, da boste potrdili svojo ljubezen do njega.
Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.
9 Kajti zato sem vam tudi pisal, da bi lahko spoznal dokaz o vas, če ste v vseh stvareh poslušni.
For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
10 Komur kaj odpustite, odpuščam tudi jaz. Kajti če sem kaj odpustil, komur sem zaradi vas to odpustil, sem to odpustil v Kristusovi osebi;
Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Messiah,
11 da Satan ne bi pridobil prednosti pred nami; kajti o njegovih naklepih nismo nevedni.
that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
12 Nadalje, ko sem prišel v Troádo, da oznanim Kristusov evangelij in so mi bila odprta vrata v Gospodu,
Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Messiah, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
13 v svojem duhu nisem imel počitka, ker nisem našel svojega brata Tita. Toda ko sem se od njih poslovil, sem od tam odšel v Makedonijo.
I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
14 Torej hvala bodi Bogu, ki nam vedno povzroča, da slavimo zmago v Kristusu in po nas na vsakem kraju razodeva vonj njegovega spoznanja.
Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
15 Kajti Bogu smo prijeten Kristusov vonj med temi, ki so rešeni in med temi, ki se pogubljajo.
For we are a sweet aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
16 Nekomu smo vonj po smrti za smrt, drugemu pa vonj po življenju za življenje. In kdo je primeren za te stvari?
to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
17 Kajti nismo kakor mnogi, ki kvarijo Božjo besedo; temveč kot iz iskrenosti, vendar kot od Boga, v Božjih očeh govorimo v Kristusu.
For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah.
