1Paul, 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:
1Paulus, Kristuse Jeesuse apostel Jumala tahtmisel, ja vend Timoteos - Korintoses olevale Jumala kogudusele ning kõigile pühadele kogu Ahhaias:
2Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Armu teile ja rahu Jumalalt, meie Isalt, ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!
3Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
3Kiidetud olgu Jumal ja meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse Isa, halastuse Isa ja kõige julgustuse Jumal!
4Who 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.
4Tema julgustab meid igas meie ahistuses, et me suudaksime julgustada neid, kes on mis tahes ahistuses, julgustusega, millega Jumal meid endid julgustab.
5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
5Sest otsekui meil on küllaga Kristuse kannatusi, nõnda on meil küllaga ka julgustust Kristuse kaudu.
6And 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.
6Kui meid nüüd ahistatakse, siis sünnib see teie julgustamiseks ja päästmiseks; kui meid julgustatakse, siis sünnib seegi teie julgustamiseks; see saab teoks, kui te vapralt talute neidsamu kannatusi, mida meiegi kannatame.
7And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
7Ja meie lootus teie peale on kindel, kuna me teame, et nii nagu teil on osa meie kannatustest, nõnda ka meie julgustusest.
8For 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:
8Me ei taha ju, vennad, et teile jääks teadmata, kuidas meid Aasias ahistati: meid koormati üliväga üle meie jõu, nii et me koguni kahtlesime oma ellujäämises.
9But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
9Jah, meil oli meie endi arvates surmakäsk juba käes, et me ei loodaks endi, vaid Jumala peale, kes surnud üles äratab.
10Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
10Tema päästis meid sellest määratu suurest surmast ja päästab veelgi - tema, kelle peale me loodame. Jah, ta päästab edaspidigi,
11Ye 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.
11kui ka teie eestpalvetega meile appi tulete, nii et paljud tänaksid meile paljude inimeste eestpalvete tõttu Jumalalt osaks saanud armuanni eest.
12For 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.
12Meie kiitlemine on just see: meie südametunnistus võib tõendada, et oleme käitunud siin maailmas, eriti aga teiega suheldes, Jumalalt saadud siiras ja selges meeles, mitte lihalikus tarkuses, vaid Jumala armus.
13For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
13Me ei kirjuta teile ju midagi muud peale selle, mida te siit loete ja ehk ka mõistate. Ent ma loodan, et te kunagi täielikult mõistate seda,
14As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.
14mida te praegu vaid osaliselt olete mõistnud, nii et te võite meie Issanda Jeesuse päeval kiidelda meist, nagu meie kiitleme teist.
15And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
15Ja selle meelekindlusega ma tahtsingi esmalt tulla teie juurde, et te saaksite teistkordselt armu,
16And 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.
16ja teie kaudu matkata Makedooniasse ja Makedooniast tulla tagasi teie juurde ning lasta teil mind saata teele Juudamaale.
17When 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?
17Tahtes nüüd seda, kas ma ei toiminud ehk kergemeelselt? Ehk ma kavatsen loomu järgi seda, mida kavatsen, et minu juures oleks 'jah, jah' ja 'ei, ei' ühtaegu?
18But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
18Kui aga Jumal on ustav, siis meie sõna teie vastu ei ole ühtaegu 'jah' ja 'ei'.
19For 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.
19Sest Jumala Poeg Jeesus Kristus, keda meie, mina, Silvanus ja Timoteos, oleme teie seas kuulutanud, ei olnud 'jah' ja 'ei', vaid temas oli 'jah'.
20For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
20Sest Jumala tõotused, millised iganes need olid, on Kristuses 'jah'. Seepärast tulgu ka meie suust tema läbi 'aamen' Jumalale kiituseks.
21Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
21Aga see, kes meid koos teiega on kinnitanud Kristusesse ja kes meid on võidnud, on Jumal,
22Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
22kes on meid ka pitseriga kinnitanud ning meile andnud käsirahaks Vaimu südamesse.
23Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
23Mina aga kutsun Jumala tunnistajaks oma hinge vastu, et ainult teie säästmise pärast ei ole ma enam Korintosesse tulnud.
24Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
24See pole nii. Meie ei taha ju olla isandad teie usu üle - usus te püsite niigi -, vaid me tahame olla kaasosalised teie rõõmus.
