2 Corinthians, 2
1. But I determined this within myself, not to return again to you in sorrow.
1. Odluèih dakle u sebi da neæu k vama opet sa žalošæu.
2. For if I make you sorrowful, then who is it that can make me glad, except the one who is made sorrowful by me?
2. Jer ako ja vas ražalostim, a tko æe mene obradovati ako ne onaj koga ja žalostim?
3. And so, I wrote this same thing to you, so that I might not, when I arrive, add sorrow to sorrow for those with whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you in all things, so that my joy may be entirely yours.
3. Zato vam to i napisah da me, kada doðem, ne ražaloste oni koji bi mi imali biti na radost. Uzdam se doista u sve vas, da je moja radost - radost svih vas.
4. For with much tribulation and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not so that you would be sorrowful, but so that you might know the charity that I have more abundantly toward you.
4. Pisah vam uistinu uz mnoge suze, iz velike nevolje i tjeskobe srca, ne da se ražalostite, nego da upoznate moju preveliku ljubav prema vama.
5. But if anyone has brought sorrow, he has not sorrowed me. Yet, for my part, this is so that I might not burden all of you.
5. Ako me tko ražalostio, nije ražalostio mene, nego u neku ruku - da ne pretjeram - sve vas.
6. Let this rebuke be sufficient for someone like this, for it has been brought by many.
6. Dosta je takvu ona kazna od veæine
7. So then, to the contrary, you should be more forgiving and consoling, lest perhaps someone like this may be overwhelmed with excessive sorrow.
7. pa ga vi radije pomilujte i utješite da ga pretjerana žalost ne shrva.
8. Because of this, I beg you to confirm your charity toward him.
8. Zato vas molim, iskažite mu ljubav.
9. It was for this reason, also, that I wrote, so that I might know, by testing you, whether you would be obedient in all things.
9. Ta zato vam i pisah da vidim jeste li prokušani, jeste li u svemu poslušni.
10. But anyone whom you have forgiven of anything, I also forgive. And then, too, anyone I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it was done in the person of Christ for your sakes,
10. Komu dakle vi što oprostite, tomu i ja; jer i ja, ako kome što oprostih, oprostih poradi vas - pred Kristom,
11. so that we would not be circumvented by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his intentions.
11. da nas ne nadmudri Sotona. Ta znamo njegove namjere!
12. And when I had arrived at Troas, because of the Gospel of Christ, and a door had opened to me in the Lord,
12. Kada doðoh u Troadu poradi evanðelja Kristova, premda mi se otvoriše vrata u Gospodinu,
13. I had no rest within my spirit, because I was not able to find Titus, my brother. So, saying goodbye to them, I set out for Macedonia.
13. ne bijaše mi duši spokoja što ne naðoh Tita, brata svoga; oprostih se stoga s njima i poðoh u Makedoniju.
14. But thanks be to God, who always brings triumph to us in Christ Jesus, and who manifests the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place.
14. Ali hvala Bogu koji nas u Kristu uvijek proslavlja te širi po nama na svakome mjestu miris svoga spoznanja.
15. For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ for God, both with those who are being saved and with those who are perishing.
15. Da, Kristov smo miomiris Bogu i meðu onima koji se spasavaju i meðu onima koji propadaju:
16. To the one, certainly, the fragrance is of death unto death. But to the other, the fragrance is of life unto life. And concerning these things, who is so suitable?
16. ovima miris iz smrti za smrt, onima miris iz života za život. A tko je za to podoban?
17. For we are not like many others, adulterating the Word of God. But instead, we speak with sincerity: from God, before God, and in Christ.
17. Uistinu, mi nismo kao mnogi koji trguju rijeèju Božjom, nego iskreno - kao od Boga pred Bogom - u Kristu govorimo.
