1Armsad, et meil nüüd on niisugused tõotused, siis puhastagem endid ihu ja vaimu kogu rüvedusest, täiustades oma pühadust Jumala kartuses.
1Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear.
2Andke meile ruumi oma südames! Me ei ole kellelegi ülekohut teinud, me ei ole kedagi laostanud, me ei ole kedagi petnud.
2Receive us: we have injured no one, we have ruined no one, we have made gain of no one.
3Ma ei ütle seda teie hukkamõistmiseks, sest ma olen juba enne öelnud, et teie olete meie südames, et me üheskoos sureksime ja üheskoos elaksime.
3I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.
4Mul on rohkelt julgust teie ees, mul on teie üle palju kiitlemist, ma olen täis lohutust, mul on ülikülluses rõõmu igas meie kitsikuses.
4Great [is] my boldness towards you, great my exulting in respect of you; I am filled with encouragement; I overabound in joy under all our affliction.
5Sest tõesti, kui me tulime Makedooniasse, ei olnud meie ihul mingit hõlpu, vaid meid vaevati igati - väljas olid tülid, sees kartused.
5For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but [we were] afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.
6Aga Jumal, kes julgustab alandlikke, on meid julgustanud Tiituse tuleku kaudu.
6But he who encourages those that are [brought] low, [even] God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus;
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.
7and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.
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 -,
8For if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret [it], if even I have regretted it; for I see that that letter, if even [it were] only for a time, grieved you.
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.
9Now I rejoice, not that ye have been grieved, but that ye have been grieved to repentance; for ye have been grieved according to God, that in nothing ye might be injured by us.
10Jah, Jumalale meelepärane kurvastus toob meeleparanduse päästeks, mida ei kahetseta, maailma kurvastus toob aga surma.
10For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.
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.
11For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in *you*, but [what] excusing [of yourselves], but [what] indignation, but [what] fear, but [what] ardent desire, but [what] zeal, but [what] vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
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.
12So then, if also I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God.
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,
13For this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in our encouragement more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
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.
14Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been [the] truth;
15Ja tema süda on veel rohkem teile lahti, kui ta meenutab teie kõikide kuulekust, kuidas teie ta vastu võtsite kartuse ja värinaga.
15and his affections are more abundantly towards you, calling to mind the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16Olen rõõmus, et võin kõiges teie peale kindel olla.
16I rejoice that in everything I am confident as to you.
