2 Corinthians 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Must we begin again to commend ourselves? Or are we in need (as some are) of epistles of commendation for you, or from you?	1 Počinjemo li opet sami sebe preporučivati? Ili trebamo li, kao neki, preporučna pisma na vas ili od vas?
2 You are our Epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men.	2 Vi ste pismo naše, upisano u srcima vašim; znaju ga i čitaju svi ljudi.
3 It has been made manifest that you are the Epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written down, not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, and not on tablets of stone, but on the fleshly tablets of the heart.	3 Vi ste, očito, pismo Kristovo kojemu mi poslužismo, napisano ne crnilom, nego Duhom Boga živoga; ne na pločama kamenim, nego na pločama od mesa, u srcima.
4 And we have such faith, through Christ, toward God.	4 Takvo pouzdanje imamo po Kristu u Boga.
5 It is not that we are adequate to think anything of ourselves, as if anything was from us. But our adequacy is from God.	5 Ne kao da smo sami sobom, kao od sebe, sposobni što pomisliti, nego naša je sposobnost od Boga.
6 And he has made us suitable ministers of the New Testament, not in the letter, but in the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.	6 On nas osposobi za poslužitelje novoga Saveza, ne slova, nego Duha; jer slovo ubija, a Duh oživljuje.
7 But if the ministration of death, engraved with letters upon stones, was in glory, (so much so that the sons of Israel were not able to gaze intently upon the face of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance) even though this ministration was ineffective,	7 Pa ako je smrtonosna služba, slovima uklesana u kamenju, bila tako slavna da sinovi Izraelovi nisu mogli pogledati u lice Mojsijevo zbog prolazne slave lica njegova,
8 how could the ministration of the Spirit not be in greater glory?	8 koliko li će slavnija biti služba Duha.
9 For if the ministration of condemnation is with glory, so much more is the ministration of justice abundant in glory.	9 Jer ako je služba osude bila slavna, mnogo je slavnija služba pravednosti.
10 And neither was it glorified by means of an excellent glory, though it was made illustrious in its own way.	10 I zbilja, nije ni bilo proslavljeno ono što je u toj mjeri proslavljeno, ako se usporedi s uzvišenijom slavom.
11 For if even what was temporary has its glory, then what is lasting has an even greater glory.	11 Jer ako je ono prolazno bilo slavno, mnogo je slavnije ovo što ostaje.
12 Therefore, having such a hope, we act with much confidence,	12 Imajući dakle takvo pouzdanje, nastupamo sa svom otvorenošću,
13 and not as Moses did, in placing a veil over his face, so that the sons of Israel would not gaze intently at his face. This was ineffective,	13 a ne kao Mojsije, koji je stavljao prijevjes na lice da sinovi Izraelovi ne vide svršetak prolaznoga.
14 for their minds were obtuse. And, even until this present day, the very same veil, in the readings from the Old Testament, remains not taken away (though, in Christ, it is taken away).	14 Ali otvrdnu im pamet. Doista, do dana današnjega zastire taj prijevjes čitanje Staroga zavjeta: nije im otkriveno da je u Kristu prestao.
15 But even until today, when Moses is read, a veil is still set over their hearts.	15 Naprotiv, kad god se čita Mojsije, do danas prijevjes zastire srce njihovo.
16 But when they will have been converted to the Lord, then the veil shall be taken away.	16 Ali kad se Izrael obrati Gospodinu, skinut će se prijevjes.
17 Now the Spirit is Lord. And wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.	17 Gospodin je Duh, a gdje je Duh Gospodnji, ondje je sloboda.
18 Yet truly, all of us, as we gaze upon the unveiled glory of the face of the Lord, are transfigured into the same image, from one glory to another. And this is done by the Spirit of the Lord.	18 A svi mi, koji otkrivenim licem odrazujemo slavu Gospodnju, po Duhu se Gospodnjem preobražavamo u istu sliku – iz slave u slavu.
