¹Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness 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.

²Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.

²Andke meile ruumi oma südames! Me ei ole kellelegi ülekohut teinud, me ei ole kedagi laostanud, me ei ole kedagi petnud.

³I say it not to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together.

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 boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

⁴Mul on rohkelt julgust teie ees, mul on teie üle palju kiitlemist, ma olen täis lohutust, mul on ülikülluses rõõmu igas meie kitsikuses.

⁵For even when we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but [we were] afflicted on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears.

⁵Sest tõesti, kui me tulime Makedooniasse, ei olnud meie ihul mingit hõlpu, vaid meid vaevati igati - väljas olid tülid, sees kartused.

⁶Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, [even] God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

⁶Aga Jumal, kes julgustab alandlikke, on meid julgustanud Tiituse tuleku kaudu.

⁷and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more.

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.

⁸For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret [it] (for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),

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 rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.

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 godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

¹⁰Jah, Jumalale meelepärane kurvastus toob meeleparanduse päästeks, mida ei kahetseta, maailma kurvastus toob aga surma.

¹¹For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved 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.

¹²So although I wrote unto you, I [wrote] not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of 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.

¹³Therefore we have been comforted: And in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by 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,

¹⁴For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be 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 affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received 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 that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.

¹⁶Olen rõõmus, et võin kõiges teie peale kindel olla.
