1Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
1Дајемо вам пак на знање, браћо, благодат Божију која је дана у црквама македонским,
2how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
2да у многом кушању невоља сувишак радости њихове и пуко сиромаштво њихово изобилова у богатству простоте њихове.
3For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
3Јер по могућству њиховом (ја сам сведок) и преко могућства добровољни беху,
4begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
4и с многим мољењем молише нас да примимо благодат и заједницу службе к светима.
5This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
5И не као што се надасмо него најпре себе предаше Господу и нама, по вољи Божјој,
6So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
6да ми умолисмо Тита да као што је почео онако и сврши и међу вама благодат ову.
7But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.
7А ви како сте у свему изобилни, у вери, и у речи, и у разуму, и у сваком старању, и у љубави својој к нама, да и у овој благодати изобилујете.
8I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
8Не говорим по заповести, него кад се други старају, и вашу љубав кушам је ли истинита.
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
9Јер знате благодат Господа нашег Исуса Христа да, богат будући, вас ради осиромаши, да се ви Његовим сиромаштвом обогатите.
10I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
10И савет дајем у том; јер је ово на корист вама, који не само чините него и хтети почесте још од лањске године.
11But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
11А сад довршите то и чинити, да као што би добра воља хтети тако да буде и учинити, од тога што имате.
12For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
12Јер ако има ко добру вољу, мио је по оном што има, а не по оном што нема.
13For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
13Јер се не жели да другима буде радост а вама жалост, него једнако.
14but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.
14Да у садашње време ваш сувишак буде за њихов недостатак, да и њихов сувишак буде за ваш недостатак; да буде једнакост,
15As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
15као што је писано: Ко је много скупио, није му претекло; и ко је мало скупио, није му недостало.
16But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
16А хвала Богу, који је дао такво старање за вас у срце Титово.
17For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
17Јер прими мољење; а будући да се тако врло стара, својевољно отиде к вама.
18We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
18Посласмо, пак, с њим и брата, ког је похвала у јеванђељу по свим црквама.
19Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
19А не само то, него је и изабран од цркава да иде с нама у ову благодат у којој ми служимо за самог Господа славу и вашу добру вољу:
20We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
20Чувајући се тога да нас ко не покуди за ово обиље у коме ми служимо,
21Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
21и промишљајући за добро не само пред Богом него и пред људима.
22We have sent with them our brother whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
22А посласмо с њима и брата свог, ког много пута познасмо у многим стварима да је усталац, а сад много већи због великог надања на вас.
23As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
23А за Тита, он је мој друг и помагач међу вама; а за браћу нашу, они су посланици црквени и слава Христова.
24Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24Покажите, дакле, на њима сведочанство своје љубави и наше хвале вама и пред црквама.
