¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

¹Paulus, Kristuse Jeesuse apostel Jumala tahtmisel, ja vend Timoteos - Korintoses olevale Jumala kogudusele ning kõigile pühadele kogu Ahhaias:

²Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

²Armu teile ja rahu Jumalalt, meie Isalt, ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!

³Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

³Kiidetud olgu Jumal ja meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse Isa, halastuse Isa ja kõige julgustuse Jumal!

⁴who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

⁴Tema julgustab meid igas meie ahistuses, et me suudaksime julgustada neid, kes on mis tahes ahistuses, julgustusega, millega Jumal meid endid julgustab.

⁵because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

⁵Sest otsekui meil on küllaga Kristuse kannatusi, nõnda on meil küllaga ka julgustust Kristuse kaudu.

⁶and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort 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 [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings — so also of the comfort.

⁷Ja meie lootus teie peale on kindel, kuna me teame, et nii nagu teil on osa meie kannatustest, nõnda ka meie julgustusest.

⁸For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so 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 ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

⁹Jah, meil oli meie endi arvates surmakäsk juba käes, et me ei loodaks endi, vaid Jumala peale, kes surnud üles äratab.

¹⁰who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

¹⁰Tema päästis meid sellest määratu suurest surmast ja päästab veelgi - tema, kelle peale me loodame. Jah, ta päästab edaspidigi,

¹¹ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

¹¹kui ka teie eestpalvetega meile appi tulete, nii et paljud tänaksid meile paljude inimeste eestpalvete tõttu Jumalalt osaks saanud armuanni eest.

¹²For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

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 no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,

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,

¹⁴according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye [are] ours, 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 purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,

¹⁵Ja selle meelekindlusega ma tahtsingi esmalt tulla teie juurde, et te saaksite teistkordselt armu,

¹⁶and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea.

¹⁶ja teie kaudu matkata Makedooniasse ja Makedooniast tulla tagasi teie juurde ning lasta teil mind saata teele Juudamaale.

¹⁷This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

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?

¹⁸and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,

¹⁸Kui aga Jumal on ustav, siis meie sõna teie vastu ei ole ühtaegu 'jah' ja 'ei'.

¹⁹for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached — through me and Silvanus and Timotheus — did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;

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 as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

²⁰Sest Jumala tõotused, millised iganes need olid, on Kristuses 'jah'. Seepärast tulgu ka meie suust tema läbi 'aamen' Jumalale kiituseks.

²¹and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, [is] God,

²¹Aga see, kes meid koos teiega on kinnitanud Kristusesse ja kes meid on võidnud, on Jumal,

²²who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

²²kes on meid ka pitseriga kinnitanud ning meile andnud käsirahaks Vaimu südamesse.

²³And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth;

²³Mina aga kutsun Jumala tunnistajaks oma hinge vastu, et ainult teie säästmise pärast ei ole ma enam Korintosesse tulnud.

²⁴not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the 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.
