2 Korinčanom 12

1 Ali hvaliti se mi ne pomaga, kajti prišel bom na prikazni in razodetja Gospodova.

(Really, to me boasting is not helpful.) For I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2 Poznam človeka v Gospodu, kteri je bil pred štirinajstimi leti, (ali v telesu, ne vem, ali v duhu zvun telesa, ne vem, Bog ve, ) vzet noter v tretja nebesa;

I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in body, I know not, or whether outside the body, I know not, God knows) such a man was caught up as far as the third heaven.

3 In vem takega človeka, (ali v telesu, ali zvun telesa, ne vem, Bog ve),

And I know such a man (whether in body, or whether outside the body, I know not, God knows)

4 Da je bil vzet v raj in je slišal neizrekljive besede, kterih ni smeti človeku pripovedati.

that he was caught up into the paradise, and heard inexpressible sayings that are not permitted for a man to utter.

5 S takim se bom hvalil, sam s seboj se pa ne bom hvalil, razen s slabostmi svojimi.

For such a man I will boast, but for myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

6 Kajti ko bi se hotel pohvaliti, ne bil bi nespameten, ker bi resnico govoril; ali se varujem, da ne bi kdo pomislil za me več, kar vidi v meni, ali kar sliši za me.

For if I should want to boast, I will not be foolish, for I will speak the truth. But I refrain lest any man should reckon to me above what he sees of me or hears anything from me.

7 In da bi se v obilnosti razodetij ne prevzdigoval, dal se mi je trn v meso, angelj satan, da me za uho bije, da se ne povzdigujem.

And so that I might not be over exalted by the extraordinariness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, an agent of Satan so that he would buffet me, so that I would not be over exalted.

8 Zanj sem trikrat Gospoda molil, naj odstopi od mene,

I besought the Lord thrice about this, that it might depart from me.

9 In dejal mi je: "Dosti ti je moja milost, kajti moč moja se v slabosti popolnoma pokazuje." Torej se bom rajši hvalil s svojimi slabostmi, da se ušatori v mé moč Kristusova.

And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my power is made fully perfect in weakness. More gladly therefore I will boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of the Christ may reside in me.

10 Za to sem dobre volje v slabostih, v zasrambah, v potrebah, v pregonih, v težavah za Kristusa; Kajti kedar sem slab, tedaj sem močen.

Therefore I am pleased in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in restrictions, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

11 Postal sem nespameten hvaleč se, vi ste me prisilili. Kajti mene bi morali vi hvaliti, ker nisem bil nič manjši od prevelikih aposteljnov, če ravno sem nič.

I have become foolish, boasting. Ye compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I came short in nothing of those, superlative apostles, even though I am nothing.

12 Kajti znamenja aposteljna so se storila med vami v vsakem potrpljenji, v znamenjih in čudežih in močeh.

Indeed the signs of the apostle were performed among you in all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty works.

13 Ker kaj je, v čemer ste bili manjši od drugih cérkev? Le da vas jaz sam nisem nadlegoval. Odpustite mi to krivico.

For what is there which ye were inferior to the other congregations? Except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong.

14 Lej, tretjič sem pripravljen priti k vam in ne bom vas nadlegoval, kajti ne iščem, kar je vaše, nego vas, ker niso dolžni otroci roditeljem blago spravljati, nego roditelji otrokom.

Behold, a third time I fare readily to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you, for I seek not the things of you, but you. For the children ought not lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

15 A jaz bom prav rad trosil ter se iztrošil za duše vaše, če me tudi, s čim obilneje vas ljubim, s tem manje ljubite.

And I most gladly will spend, and will be spent for your souls. Even though more earnestly loving you, the worse I am loved.

16 Ali naj bo, jaz vam nisem nadlege delal, nego zvit človek pridobil sem vas z zvijačo.

But let it be. I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being clever, I caught you with bait.

17 Jeli sem vas po kterem teh, ktere sem k vam poslal, za kaj opravil?

Any man of whom I have sent to you, did I exploit you through him?

18 Naprosil sem Tita in ž njim poslal brata; jeli vas je Tit za kaj opravil? nismo li v enem duhu hodili? ne po enih stopinjah?

I encouraged Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus exploit you in anything? Did we not walk in the same spirit, not in the same steps?

19 Zopet mislite, da vam se zagovarjamo? pričo Boga v Kristusu govorimo; a vse to je, ljubljeni, za vaše zbujevanje v pobožnosti.

Again, do ye think that we are making defense to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edification.

20 Kajti bojim se, da vas kako, kedar k vam pridem, ne najdem kakoršne hočem, in da mene najdete, kakoršnega ne čete; da kako ne bo prepirov, zavisti, srdov, svaj, ogovarjanja, prišepetovanja, napihovanja, puntov;

For I fear lest somehow, having come, I may find you not such as I want, and I may be found by you such as ye do not want, lest somehow there be strifes, envyings, wraths, selfish ambitions, slanderings, whisperings, puffings up, turmoils,

21 Da me, kedar zopet pridem, ne poniža Bog moj pri vas, in da ne bom žalostil mnogih, kteri so poprej grešili in se niso pokesali za nečistost in kurbirstvo in hotljivost, ktero so počeli.

lest having come again my God will make me low toward you, and I will bewail many of those who have sinned previously, and who did not repent from the trash and fornication and licentiousness that they committed.
