2 Korinčanom 2
1 Toda sam pri sebi sem sklenil, da k vam ne bom ponovno prišel s potrtostjo.
For I have determined, unto myself, this—not, again, in grief, to come unto you.
2 Kajti če vas užalostim, kdo je torej tisti, ki me razveseljuje, razen istega, ki je po meni užaloščen?
For, if, I, grieve you, who then is he that is to gladden me, —save he who is being grieved through 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—lest, if I came, I should have, grief, from those over whom I had need to rejoice, —having confidence in you all, that, my joy, is the joy, of you all.
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 tribulation and anguish of heart, wrote I unto you, through many tears, —not that ye might be grieved, but that, the love, ye might know, which I have very abundantly unto you.
5 Toda če je kdorkoli povzročil žalost, ni užalostil mene, temveč deloma, da vas ne bom vse preobremenil.
Now, if anyone hath caused grief, not unto me hath he caused grief, but—that I may not bear too heavily—unto you all.
6 Takšnemu človeku je primerna ta kazen, katera [mu] je bila naložena od večine.
Sufficient, unto such a one, the punishment itself 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, ye should forgive and encourage, lest, by any means, by his excessive grief, such a one should be swallowed up.
8 Zatorej vas rotim, da boste potrdili svojo ljubezen do njega.
Wherefore, I beseech you, assure him, of love;
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, in all things, ye are obedient.
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, to whom ye forgive anything, I, also; for, I also, what I have forgiven, if, anything, I have forgiven, for your sake, in the person of Christ, [have I forgiven it].
11 da Satan ne bi pridobil prednosti pred nami; kajti o njegovih naklepih nismo nevedni.
Lest we should be overreached by Satan, for, of his thoughts, we are not ignorant.
12 Nadalje, ko sem prišel v Troádo, da oznanim Kristusov evangelij in so mi bila odprta vrata v Gospodu,
Moreover, although I came unto Troas for the glad-message of the Christ, and a door for me had been opened 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 in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but, taking my leave of them, I came away 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.
But, unto God, be thanks, who, ever, leadeth us in triumph in the Christ, and, the fragrance of the knowledge of him, maketh manifest, through us, in every place,
15 Kajti Bogu smo prijeten Kristusov vonj med temi, ki so rešeni in med temi, ki se pogubljajo.
That, of Christ, a grateful odour, are we, unto God, —in them who are being saved, and in them who are being lost:
16 Nekomu smo vonj po smrti za smrt, drugemu pa vonj po življenju za življenje. In kdo je primeren za te stvari?
In these, indeed, a fragrance out of death into death, but, in those, a fragrance out of life into life. And, for these things, who is sufficient?
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, as the many, driving a petty trade with the word of God; but, as of sincerity, but, as of God, before God, in Christ, we speak.
