II Corinthians 1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

Pavao, po volji Božjoj apostol Krista Isusa, i brat Timotej: Crkvi Božjoj u Korintu sa svima svetima u svoj Ahaji.

Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista!

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

Blagoslovljen Bog i Otac Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, Otac milosrđa i Bog svake utjehe!

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

On nas tješi u svakoj našoj nevolji da bismo i mi sve koji su u nevolji mogli tješiti onom utjehom kojom nas same tješi Bog.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

Jer kao što su obilate patnje Kristove u nama, tako je po Kristu obilata i utjeha naša.

And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

Bili mi nevoljama pritisnuti za vašu je to utjehu i spasenje; bili utješeni, za vašu je utjehu - djelotvornu: da strpljivo podnesete iste patnje koje i mi podnosimo.

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

I tako je stamena nada naša o vama jer znamo: kao što ste zajedničari patnja tako ste i utjehe.

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

Ne bismo doista htjeli, braćo, da ne znate za nevolju koja nas je snašla u Aziji. Bijasmo prekomjerno, preko snage, opterećeni te smo već strepili i za život.

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

Ali u sebi prihvatismo i smrtnu osudu da se ne bismo uzdali u same sebe, nego u Boga koji uskrisuje mrtve.

Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

On nas je od takve smrti izbavio i izbavit će nas; u njega se uzdamo, on će nas i dalje izbavljati.

Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

A i vi ćete nam pomagati molitvom da bi mnogi za nas zahvaljivali Bogu na milosti koja nam je darovana posredovanjem mnogih.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

A ovo je naša slava: svjedočansto naše savjesti da smo u svijetu živjeli - osobito prema vama - u svetosti i iskrenosti Božjoj, ne u mudrosti tjelesnoj, nego u Božjoj milosti.

For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

Ta i ne pišemo vam drugo doli ovo što čitate i razumijete; a nadam se da ćete i do kraja razumjeti,

As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

kao što nas djelomično i razumjeste: da smo mi vaša slava kao i vi naša u Dan Gospodina našega Isusa.

And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

U tom uvjerenju namjeravao sam najprije doći k vama

And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.

i preko vas prijeći u Makedoniju pa se opet, da biste imali i drugu milost, iz Makedonije vratiti k vama da me vi otpratite u Judeju.

When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

Pa jesam li možda bio lakomislen kad sam to namjeravao? Ili što namjeravam, po tijelu namjeravam te je u mene istodobno "Da, da!" i "Ne, ne!"?

But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

Bog je svjedok: naša riječ vama nije "Da!" i "Ne!"

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

jer Sin Božji, Isus Krist, koga mi - ja i Silvan i Timotej - vama navijestismo nije bio "Da!" i "Ne!" nego u njemu bijaše "Da!".

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Doista, sva obećanja Božja u njemu su "Da!". I stoga po njemu i naš "Amen!" Bogu na slavu!

Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

A Bog je onaj koji nas zajedno s vama utvrđuje za Krista; on nas i pomaza,

Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

on nas i zapečati i u srca naša dade zalog - Duha.

Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

A ja prizivljem Boga za svjedoka: duše mi, da vas poštedim, nisam više dolazio u Korint.

Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

Ta mi nismo gospodari vaše vjere, nego suradnici vaše radosti. Ta u vjeri ste postojani.
