Biblija Hrvatski	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Pavao, po volji Božjoj apostol Krista Isusa, i brat Timotej: Crkvi Božjoj u Korintu sa svima svetima u svoj Ahaji.	1 Paul, by the wil of God an apostle of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, our brother, to the church of God inCorinth and to al God's holy people in the whole of Achaia.
2 Milost vam i mir od Boga, Oca našega, i Gospodina Isusa Krista!	2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blagoslovljen Bog i Otac Gospodina našega Isusa Krista, Otac milosrđa i Bog svake utjehe!	3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the merciful Father and the God who givesevery possible encouragement;
4 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.	4 he supports us in every hardship, so that we are able to come to the support of others, in everyhardship of theirs because of the encouragement that we ourselves receive from God.
5 Jer kao što su obilate patnje Kristove u nama, tako je po Kristu obilata i utjeha naša.	5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow into our lives; so too does the encouragement we receive through Christ.
6 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.	6 So if we have hardships to undergo, this wil contribute to your encouragement and your salvation; if wereceive encouragement, this is to gain for you the encouragement which enables you to bear with perseverancethe same sufferings as we do.
7 I tako je stamena nada naša o vama jer znamo: kao što ste zajedničari patnja tako ste i utjehe.	7 So our hope for you is secure in the knowledge that you share the encouragement we receive, no lessthan the sufferings we bear.
8 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.	8 So in the hardships we underwent in Asia, we want you to be quite certain, brothers, that we wereunder extraordinary pressure, beyond our powers of endurance, so that we gave up al hope even of surviving.
9 Ali u sebi prihvatismo i smrtnu osudu da se ne bismo uzdali u same sebe, nego u Boga koji uskrisuje mrtve.	9 In fact we were carrying the sentence of death within our own selves, so that we should be forced totrust not in ourselves but in God, who raises the dead.
10 On nas je od takve smrti izbavio i izbavit će nas; u njega se uzdamo, on će nas i dalje izbavljati.	10 He did save us from such a death and will save us -- we are relying on him to do so.
11 A i vi ćete nam pomagati molitvom da bi mnogi za nas zahvaljivali Bogu na milosti koja nam je darovana posredovanjem mnogih.	11 Your prayer for us wil contribute to this, so that, for God's favour shown to us as the result of theprayers of so many, thanks too may be given by many on our behalf.
12 A ovo je naša slava: svjedočanstvo naše savjesti da smo u svijetu živjeli – osobito prema vama – u svetosti i iskrenosti Božjoj, ne u mudrosti tjelesnoj, nego u Božjoj milosti.	12 There is one thing that we are proud of, namely our conscientious conviction that we have alwaysbehaved towards everyone, and especial y towards you, with that unal oyed holiness that comes from God,relying not on human reasoning but on the grace of God.
13 Ta i ne pišemo vam drugo doli ovo što čitate i razumijete; a nadam se da ćete i do kraja razumjeti,	13 In our writing, there is nothing that you cannot read clearly and understand;
14 kao što nas djelomično i razumjeste: da smo mi vaša slava kao i vi naša u Dan Gospodina našega Isusa.	14 and it is my hope that, just as you have already understood us partial y, so you wil understand fullythat you can be as proud of us as we shal be of you when the Day of our Lord Jesus comes.
15 U tom uvjerenju namjeravao sam najprije doći k vama	15 It was with this assurance that I had been meaning to come to you first, so that you would benefitdoubly;
16 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.	16 both to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and then to return to you again from Macedonia, so thatyou could set me on my way to Judaea.
17 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!«	17 Since that was my purpose, do you think I lightly changed my mind? Or that my plans are based onordinary human promptings and I have in my mind Yes, yes at the same time as No, no?
18 Bog je svjedok: naša riječ vama nije »Da!« i »Ne!«	18 As surely as God is trustworthy, what we say to you is not both Yes and No.
19 jer Sin Božji, Isus Krist, koga mi – ja i Silvan i Timotej – vama navijestismo nije bio »Da!« i »Ne!«, nego u njemu bijaše »Da!«.	19 The Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, that is, by me and by Silvanus andTimothy, was never Yes-and-No; his nature is al Yes.
20 Doista, sva obećanja Božja u njemu su »Da!«. I stoga po njemu i naš »Amen!« Bogu na slavu!	20 For in him is found the Yes to al God's promises and therefore it is 'through him' that we answer'Amen' to give praise to God.
21 A Bog je onaj koji nas zajedno s vama utvrđuje za Krista; on nas i pomaza,	21 It is God who gives us, with you, a sure place in Christ
22 on nas i zapečati i u srca naša dade zalog – Duha.	22 and has both anointed us and marked us with his seal, giving us as pledge the Spirit in our hearts.
23 A ja prizivljem Boga za svjedoka: duše mi, da vas poštedim, nisam više dolazio u Korint.	23 By my life I cal on God to be my witness that it was only to spare you that I did not come to Corinthagain.
24 Ta mi nismo gospodari vaše vjere, nego suradnici vaše radosti. Ta u vjeri ste postojani.	24 We have no wish to lord it over your faith, but to work with you for your joy; for your stand in the faith isfirm.
