2 Korinčanom 7
1 Ker imamo torej te obljube, srčno ljubljeni, se očistimo pred vso umazanijo mesa in duha ter v strahu Božjem dovršujmo svetost.
Having therefore, these, promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in fear of God.
2 Sprejmite nas; nikomur nismo storili krivice, nobenega človeka nismo pokvarili, nobenega človeka nismo ogoljufali.
Give place to us! no one, have we wronged, no one, have we corrupted, no one, have we defrauded.
3 Tega ne govorim, da vas obsodim, kajti prej sem rekel, da ste v naših srcih, da z vami umremo in živimo.
Unto condemnation, I am not saying [this], for I have before said—In our hearts, are ye, to the end we may die together and live together.
4 Velika je moja drznost govora do vas, veliko je moje ponašanje glede vas. Napolnjen sem s tolažbo, silno radosten v vsej naši stiski.
Great, is my freedom of speech towards you, great, is my boasting in behalf of you: I am filled with the encouragement, I am greatly superabounding with the joy, in all our tribulation.
5 Kajti ko smo prišli v Makedonijo, naše meso ni imelo počitka, temveč smo bili stiskani na vsaki strani; zunaj so bili boji, znotraj so bili strahovi.
For, even when we came into Macedonia, no relief at all, had our flesh; but, in every way, were we in tribulation, —without, fightings! within, fears!
6 Kljub temu nas je Bog, ki tolaži te, ki so potrti, potolažil s Titovim prihodom;
But, he who encourageth them that are brought low, encouraged us, —even God, —by the presence of Titus.
7 pa ne samo z njegovim prihodom, temveč s tolažbo, s katero je bil potolažen med vami, ko nam je pripovedoval vašo iskreno željo, vaše žalovanje, vaše goreče mišljenje do mene; tako, da sem se tem bolj veselil.
Not, however, by his presence alone, but also by the encouragement wherewith he had been encouraged over you: recounting unto us your earnest desire, your lamentation, your zeal in my behalf. So that I the more rejoiced.
8 Kajti čeprav sem vas s pismom užalostil, se ne kesam, čeprav sem se kesal; kajti zaznavam, da vas je ista poslanica užalostila, čeprav je bilo to samo za nekaj časa.
Because, if I even grieved you by the letter, I do not regret, —though I could even have regretted, —I see that that letter, if even for an hour, did cause you grief.
9 Sedaj se veselim, ne da ste bili užaloščeni, temveč da ste [bili] užaloščeni do kesanja. Kajti užaloščeni ste bili na bogaboječ način, da od nas v ničemer ne bi prejeli škode.
Now, am I rejoicing, —not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved unto repentance; for ye were grieved according to God, in order that, in nothing, should ye receive damage from us.
10 Kajti bogaboječa žalost opravlja kesanje v rešitev duše, ki se je ne bomo kesali, toda svetna žalost ustvarja smrt.
For, grief according to God, worketh, repentance unto salvation, not to be regretted; although, the grieving of the world, worketh, death.
11 Kajti glejte to točno isto stvar, da ste bili užaloščeni na bogaboječ način, kakšno skrbnost je to storilo v vas, da, kakšno čiščenje vas samih, da, kakšno ogorčenost, da, kakšen strah, da, kakšno silovito hrepenenje, da, kakšno gorečnost, da, kakšno maščevanje! V vseh stvareh ste sebe potrdili, da ste v tej zadevi čisti.
For lo! this very thing—the being caused to grieve, according to God: —what manner of diligence it wrought out in you, —nay! defence, —nay! sore displeasure, —nay! fear, —nay! earnest desire, —nay! jealousy, —nay! avenging. In every way, ye shewed yourselves to be, chaste, in the matter.
12 Zatorej čeprav sem vam pisal, sem to storil ne zaradi razloga tistega, ki je storil krivico niti zaradi razloga tistega, ki je trpel krivico, temveč, da se vam lahko pokaže naša skrb za vas v Božjih očeh.
Hence, if I even wrote unto you, it was not for the sake of him that did the wrong, [nay] not even for the sake of him that suffered the wrong; but for the sake of your earnestness, which was on our account, being made manifest unto you, before God: -
13 Torej smo bili potolaženi v vaši tolažbi. Da in silno bolj smo se veselili zaradi Titovega veselja, ker je bil po vas vseh njegov duh okrepčan.
For this cause, have we received encouragement. In addition to our encouragement, however, much more abundantly, have we rejoiced over the joy of Titus, —that his spirit hath received refreshment from you all,
14 Kajti če sem se mu kakorkoli bahal z vami, nisem osramočen; temveč kakor smo vam govorili vse stvari v resnici, se je celó tako naše bahanje, ki sem ga storil pred Titom, izkazalo [za] resnično.
That, if in anything—unto him—in your behalf—I have boasted, I have not been put to shame; but, as, all things, in truth, we told you, so, even our boasting before Titus, turned out to be, truth.
15 In njegova notranja strast je do vas obilnejša, medtem ko se spominja poslušnosti vas vseh, kako ste ga sprejeli s strahom in trepetanjem.
And, his tender affections, are, much more abundantly towards you, when he calleth to mind the obedience, of you all, —how, with fear and trembling, ye gave him welcome.
16 Veselim se torej, da imam v vas zaupanje v vseh stvareh.
I rejoice that, in everything, I am of good courage respecting you.
