2 Korinčanom 5

1 Kajti vemo, da če bi naša zemeljska hiša tega šotorskega svetišča razpadla, imamo v nebesih večno Božjo stavbo, hišo ne narejeno z rokami. (aiōnios g166)

For we know that, if our earthly tent-habitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)

2 Kajti v tem stokamo in iskreno želimo, da bi se povrh odeli z našo hišo, ki je iz nebes;

For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven;

3 če je tako, da ko bomo oblečeni, ne bi bili najdeni goli.

since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked.

4 Kajti mi, ki smo v tem šotoru, obteženi stokamo. Ne zato, ker hočemo biti neoblečeni, temveč oblečeni povrh, da bi bila umrljivost lahko požrta z življenjem.

For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

5 Torej kdor nas je naredil za točno isto stvar, je Bog, ki nam je dal tudi poroštvo Duha.

Now he that hath prepared us for this very thing is God; who also gave to us the Spirit as the pledge.

6 Torej smo vedno zaupljivi, ker vemo, da medtem ko smo doma v telesu, smo odsotni od Gospoda

We have courage, therefore, always, and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

7 (kajti hodimo po veri, ne po pogledu).

for we walk by faith, not by sight; but we have courage,

8 Zaupljivi smo, pravim in voljni rajši biti odsotni iz telesa in biti prisotni z Gospodom.

and are well pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

9 Zatorej se trudimo, da bomo bodisi prisotni ali odsotni, lahko pri njem sprejeti.

Wherefore we also strive that, whether at home or absent, we may be approved by him.

10 Kajti vsi se moramo prikazati pred Kristusovim sodnim stolom, da bo vsakdo lahko prejel stvari, storjene v svojem telesu, glede na to, kar je storil, bodisi je to dobro ali slabo.

For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.

11 Ker torej poznamo Gospodov strah, pregovarjamo ljudi; toda Bogu smo postali očitni; in zaupam tudi, [da] smo postali očitni v svojih vesteh.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but to God we have been made manifest, and I hope have been made manifest in your consciences also.

12 Kajti ne priporočamo se vam ponovno, temveč vam dajemo priložnost, da ste zavoljo nas ponosni, da boste imeli nekaj, da odgovorite tem, ki se ponašajo na zunaj, ne pa v srcu.

For we are not again commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion to glory on our behalf; that ye may have somewhat to answer those who glory in outward appearance, and not in heart.

13 Kajti če smo brez pameti, je to za Boga, ali če smo zdravega mišljenja, je to zaradi vaše stvari.

For whether we were beside ourselves, it was for God; or whether we are in our sound mind, it is for you.

14 Kajti sili nas Kristusova ljubezen; ker tako sodimo, da če je eden umrl za vse, potem so bili mrtvi vsi.

For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judged, that if one died for all, then all died;

15 In da je umrl za vse, da tisti, ki živijo, odslej ne bi živeli več zase, temveč za tistega, ki je zanje umrl in ponovno vstal.

and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for their sakes, and rose again.

16 Zatorej odslej nobenega človeka ne poznamo po mesu. Da, četudi smo Kristusa poznali po mesu, ga vendarle sedaj ne poznamo več [po mesu].

So that we henceforth know no one according to the flesh; and if we have even known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer know him.

17 Torej, če je katerikoli človek v Kristusu, je novo ustvarjeno bitje. Stare stvari so minile; glejte, vse stvari so postale nove.

Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

18 In vse stvari so od Boga, ki nas je po Jezusu Kristusu spravil s seboj in nam dal službo pobotanja;

And all things are from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 namreč, da je bil Bog v Kristusu, ko je svet pobotal s seboj, ker jim ni pripisal njihovih prekrškov, nam pa predal besedo sprave.

seeing that in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Torej smo potem predstavniki za Kristusa, kakor da vas je po nas rotil Bog. Namesto Kristusa vas prosimo, bodite spravljeni z Bogom.

We then are ambassadors for Christ; as though God were exhorting you by us, in behalf of Christ we entreat you, Be reconciled to God.

21 Kajti njega, ki ni poznal greha, je zaradi nas storil, da postane greh, da bi mi lahko postali Božja pravičnost v njem.

Him, who knew not sin, he made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
