2 Corinthians 12
1 It is indeed not expedient for me to boast; I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Похвалитися же не пользует ми: прииду бо в видения и откровения Господня.
2 I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, —whether in the body, I know not, or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth, —such a one caught up even to the third heaven.
Вем человека о Христе, прежде лет четыренадесяти: аще в теле, не вем, аще ли кроме тела, не вем, Бог весть: восхищена бывша таковаго до третияго небесе.
3 And I know such a man, whether in the body, or without the body, I know not; God knoweth, —
И вем такова человека: аще в теле, или кроме тела, не вем: Бог весть:
4 that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
яко восхищен бысть в рай, и слыша неизреченны глаголголы, ихже не леть есть человеку глаголати.
5 Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.
О таковем похвалюся: о себе же не похвалюся, токмо о немощех моих.
6 For if I should desire to boast, I should not be a fool; for I should say the truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think of me above what he seeth me to be, or what he heareth from me.
Аще бо восхощу похвалитися, не буду безумен, истину бо реку: жажду же, да не како кто вознепщует о мне паче, еже видит мя, или слышит что от мене.
7 And that I might not be too much lifted up by the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be too much lifted up.
И за премногая откровения да не превозношуся, дадеся ми пакостник плоти, аггел сатанин, да ми пакости деет, да не превозношуся.
8 In respect to this I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me;
О сем трикраты Господа молих, да отступит от мене,
9 and he said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ may abide upon me.
и рече ми: довлеет ти благодать Моя: сила бо Моя в немощи совершается. Сладце убо похвалюся паче в немощех моих, да вселится в мя сила Христова.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Темже благоволю в немощех, в досаждениих, в бедах, во изгнаниих, в теснотах по Христе: егда бо немощствую, тогда силен есмь.
11 I have become a fool; it is ye that compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the very foremost apostles, though I am nothing.
Бых несмыслен хваляся: вы мя понудисте. Аз бо должен бех от вас хвалимь бывати: ничимже бо лишихся первейших Апостол, аще и ничтоже есмь:
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you with all endurance, by signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
знамения бо Апостолова содеяшася в вас во всяцем терпении, в знамениих и чудесех и силах.
13 For what is there in which ye were at disadvantage when compared with other churches, except that I myself was not a charge to you? Forgive me this wrong.
Что бо есть, егоже лишистеся паче прочих церквей, разве точию яко аз сам не стужих вам? Дадите ми неправду сию.
14 Behold, I am ready to come to you this third time, and I will not be a charge to you; for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Се третие готов есмь приити к вам, и не стужу вам: не ищу бо ваших, но вас. Не должна бо суть чада родителем снискати имения, но родителе чадом.
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more I love you, the less I am loved.
Аз же в сладость иждиву и иждивен буду по душах ваших, аще и излишше вас любя, менше любимь есмь.
16 But be it so; I at least was not a charge to you; but yet, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
Буди же, аз не отягчих вас, но коварен сый, лестию вас приях.
17 Did I make gain of you by any of those whom I have sent to you?
Еда коим от посланных к вам лихоимствовах вас?
18 I urged Titus to go to you, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?
Умолих Тита, и с ним послах брата: еда лихоимствова чим вас Тит? Не темже ли духом ходихома? Не темиже ли стопами?
19 Have ye been thinking this long time that we are defending ourselves to you? It is before God in Christ that we are speaking; but all things, beloved, for your edification.
Паки ли мните, яко ответ вам творим? Пред Богом, о Христе глаголем: вся же, возлюбленнии, о вашем созидании и утверждении.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and lest I too shall be found by you such as ye would not; lest there be wranglings, envying, wraths, rivalries, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;
Боюся же, еда како пришед, не яцех же хощу, обрящу вас, и аз обрящуся вам, якова же не хощете: да не како будут рвения, зависти, ярости, рети, клеветы, шептания, кичения, нестроения:
21 and lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many of those who have sinned already, and did not repent of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they committed.
да не паки пришедша мя смирит Бог мой у вас, и восплачуся многих прежде согрешших и не покаявшихся о нечистоте и блужении и студоложствии, яже содеяша.
