٢ كورنثوس 7

١ 1 فَإِذْ لَنَا هَذِهِ ٱلْمَوَاعِيدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ لِنُطَهِّرْ ذَوَاتِنَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَنَسِ ٱلْجَسَدِ وَٱلرُّوحِ، مُكَمِّلِينَ ٱلْقَدَاسَةَ فِي خَوْفِ ٱللهِ.

Seeing, therefore, we have these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit; and let us work righteousness, in the fear of God.

٢ 2 اِقْبَلُونَا. لَمْ نَظْلِمْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نُفْسِدْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نَطْمَعْ فِي أَحَدٍ.

Bear with us, my brethren; we have done evil to no one; we have corrupted no one; we have wronged no one.

٣ 3 لَا أَقُولُ هَذَا لِأَجْلِ دَيْنُونَةٍ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ قُلْتُ سَابِقًا إِنَّكُمْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، لِنَمُوتَ مَعَكُمْ وَنَعِيشَ مَعَكُمْ.

I speak thus, not to condemn you; for I have said before, that ye are treasured in our hearts, to die and to live together.

٤ 4 لِي ثِقَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِكُمْ. لِي ٱفْتِخَارٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ. قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأْتُ تَعْزِيَةً وَٱزْدَدْتُ فَرَحًا جِدًّا فِي جَمِيعِ ضِيقَاتِنَا.

I have great assurance before you, and have much glorying in you; and I am full of comfort. And joy greatly aboundeth to me, in all my afflictions.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّنَا لَمَّا أَتَيْنَا إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِجَسَدِنَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱلرَّاحَةِ بَلْ كُنَّا مُكْتَئِبِينَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ: مِنْ خَارِجٍ خُصُومَاتٌ، مِنْ دَاخِلٍ مَخَاوِفٌ.

For, after we came to Macedonia, there was no rest for our body, but we were distressed in every thing; without was conflict, and within was fear.

٦ 6 لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّي ٱلْمُتَّضِعِينَ عَزَّانَا بِمَجِيءِ تِيطُسَ.

But God who comforteth the depressed, comforted us by the arrival of Titus.

٧ 7 وَلَيْسَ بِمَجِيئِهِ فَقَطْ بَلْ أَيْضًا بِٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَعَزَّى بِهَا بِسَبَبِكُمْ، وَهُوَ يُخْبِرُنَا بِشَوْقِكُمْ وَنَوْحِكُمْ وَغَيْرَتِكُمْ لِأَجْلِي، حَتَّى إِنِّي فَرِحْتُ أَكْثَرَ.

And not merely by his arrival, but also by the refreshing with which he was refreshed by you. For he told us of your love towards us, and of your grief, and of your zeal in our behalf: and when I heard it, my joy was great.

٨ 8 لِأَنِّي وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَحْزَنْتُكُمْ بِٱلرِّسَالَةِ لَسْتُ أَنْدَمُ، مَعَ أَنِّي نَدِمْتُ، فَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنَّ تِلْكَ ٱلرِّسَالَةَ أَحْزَنَتْكُمْ وَلَوْ إِلَى سَاعَةٍ.

And although I made you sad by the epistle, I do not regret it, though I did regret it; for I see that that epistle, though for a time it made you sad,

٩ 9 اَلْآنَ أَنَا أَفْرَحُ، لَا لِأَنَّكُمْ حَزِنْتُمْ، بَلْ لِأَنَّكُمْ حَزِنْتُمْ لِلتَّوْبَةِ. لِأَنَّكُمْ حَزِنْتُمْ بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ لِكَيْ لَا تَتَخَسَّرُوا مِنَّا فِي شَيْءٍ.

yet it procured me joy, not because ye had sorrow, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance; for ye sorrowed in godly sorrow; so that ye received no detriment from us.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ ٱلْحُزْنَ ٱلَّذِي بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ يُنْشِئُ تَوْبَةً لِخَلَاصٍ بِلَا نَدَامَةٍ، وَأَمَّا حُزْنُ ٱلْعَالَمِ فَيُنْشِئُ مَوْتًا.

For, sorrowing on account of God, worketh a conversion of the soul which is not reversed, and a turning unto life: but the sorrowing of the world worketh death.

١١ 11 فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا حُزْنُكُمْ هَذَا عَيْنُهُ بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ، كَمْ أَنْشَأَ فِيكُمْ: مِنَ ٱلِٱجْتِهَادِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلِٱحْتِجَاجِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْخَوْفِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلشَّوْقِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلِٱنْتِقَامِ. فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَظْهَرْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَبْرِيَاءُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ.

For behold this same thing, that ye were distressed on account of God, what solicitude it wrought in you, and apologizing and indignation, and fear, and love, and zeal, and revenge? And in all things ye have shown, that ye are now pure in that matter.

١٢ 12 إِذًا وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَلَيْسَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمُذْنِبِ وَلَا لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمُذْنَبِ إِلَيْهِ، بَلْ لِكَيْ يَظْهَرَ لَكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ ٱجْتِهَادُنَا لِأَجْلِكُمْ.

And it will be seen that I wrote to you, not for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who received the wrong, only, but that your solicitude in respect to us might be known before God.

١٣ 13 مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا قَدْ تَعَزَّيْنَا بِتَعْزِيَتِكُمْ. وَلَكِنْ فَرِحْنَا أَكْثَرَ جِدًّا بِسَبَبِ فَرَحِ تِيطُسَ، لِأَنَّ رُوحَهُ قَدِ ٱسْتَرَاحَتْ بِكُمْ جَمِيعًا.

Wherefore we were comforted; and with our consolation, we were the more joyful for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all:

١٤ 14 فَإِنِّي إِنْ كُنْتُ ٱفْتَخَرْتُ شَيْئًا لَدَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ لَمْ أُخْجَلْ، بَلْ كَمَا كَلَّمْنَاكُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِٱلصِّدْقِ، كَذَلِكَ ٱفْتِخَارُنَا أَيْضًا لَدَى تِيطُسَ صَارَ صَادِقًا.

so that I was not ashamed of that in which I had gloried to him, respecting you; but as in every thing we spoke the truth to you, so also our glorying before Titus, is found to be in truth:

١٥ 15 وَأَحْشَاؤُهُ هِيَ نَحْوَكُمْ بِٱلزِّيَادَةِ، مُتَذَكِّرًا طَاعَةَ جَمِيعِكُمْ، كَيْفَ قَبِلْتُمُوهُ بِخَوْفٍ وَرِعْدَةٍ.

and also his bowels are the more enlarged towards you, while he remembereth the submission of you all, and how ye received him with fear and trembling.

١٦ 16 أَنَا أَفْرَحُ إِذًا أَنِّي أَثِقُ بِكُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

I rejoice, that in every thing I have full confidence in you.
