1Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;
1Armsad, et meil nüüd on niisugused tõotused, siis puhastagem endid ihu ja vaimu kogu rüvedusest, täiustades oma pühadust Jumala kartuses.
2receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we waste; no one did we defraud;
2Andke meile ruumi oma südames! Me ei ole kellelegi ülekohut teinud, me ei ole kedagi laostanud, me ei ole kedagi petnud.
3not to condemn you do I say [it], for I have said before that in our hearts ye are to die with and to live with;
3Ma ei ütle seda teie hukkamõistmiseks, sest ma olen juba enne öelnud, et teie olete meie südames, et me üheskoos sureksime ja üheskoos elaksime.
4great [is] my freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound with the joy on all our tribulation,
4Mul on rohkelt julgust teie ees, mul on teie üle palju kiitlemist, ma olen täis lohutust, mul on ülikülluses rõõmu igas meie kitsikuses.
5for also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without [are] fightings, within — fears;
5Sest tõesti, kui me tulime Makedooniasse, ei olnud meie ihul mingit hõlpu, vaid meid vaevati igati - väljas olid tülid, sees kartused.
6but He who is comforting the cast-down — God — He did comfort us in the presence of Titus;
6Aga Jumal, kes julgustab alandlikke, on meid julgustanud Tiituse tuleku kaudu.
7and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice,
7See ei olnud üksnes tema tulek, vaid ka julgustus, millega teie teda olete julgustanud, nii et ma veel enam rõõmustasin, kui ta meile jutustas teie igatsemisest, teie kurtmisest, teie innukusest minu pärast.
8because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent — if even I did repent — for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry.
8Sest kuigi ma teid kirjaga kurvastasin, ei kahetse ma seda. Ja kui ma kahetsesingi - ma näen, et see kiri on teid ikkagi mõneks ajaks kurvastanud -,
9I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us;
9siis nüüd ma rõõmustan. Ma ei rõõmusta, et teie kurvastasite, vaid et te kurvastasite meeleparanduseks. Te olete ju Jumalale meelepäraselt kurvastanud, nii et meie ei ole teile millegagi kahju teinud.
10for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,
10Jah, Jumalale meelepärane kurvastus toob meeleparanduse päästeks, mida ei kahetseta, maailma kurvastus toob aga surma.
11for, lo, this same thing — your being made sorry toward God — how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.
11Sest vaadake, millise innukuse on teis tekitanud just see, et te Jumalale meelepäraselt kurvastasite, millise kaitsekõne, millise meelepaha, millise kartuse, millise igatsuse, millise innu, millise karistuse! Teie olete end kõigiti näidanud puhtana selles asjas.
12If, then, I also wrote to you — not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God —
12Niisiis, kui ma teile kirjutasin, ei sündinud see selle pärast, kes tegi ülekohut, ega selle pärast, kellele tehti ülekohut, vaid selleks, et teie keskel saaks avalikuks teie hool meie heaks Jumala ees.
13because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all;
13Selle tõttu me oleme nüüd julgustatud. Peale oma julgustuse oleme aga veel palju rohkem rõõmustanud Tiituse rõõmu pärast, et ta vaim on leidnud kosutust teie kõikide poolt,
14because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,
14ja et ma ei ole jäänud häbisse, kui ma olen teid temale kiitnud, vaid nagu me teile oleme kõike rääkinud tões, nii on ka meie kiitlemine Tiituse ees tõeks läinud.
15and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him;
15Ja tema süda on veel rohkem teile lahti, kui ta meenutab teie kõikide kuulekust, kuidas teie ta vastu võtsite kartuse ja värinaga.
16I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
16Olen rõõmus, et võin kõiges teie peale kindel olla.
