2 كورنثوس 1

١ 1 مِنْ بُولُسَ، رَسُولِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ، وَمِنَ الأَخِ تِيمُوثَاوُسَ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ اللهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ كُورِنْثُوسَ، وَإِلَى جَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ أَخَائِيَةَ كُلِّهَا.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

٢ 2 لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَمِنَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!

Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

٣ 3 تَبَارَكَ اللهُ، أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، أَبُو الْمَرَاحِمِ وَإِلَهُ كُلِّ تَعْزِيَةٍ،

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

٤ 4 هُوَ الَّذِي يُشَجِّعُنَا فِي كُلِّ ضِيقَةٍ نَمُرُّ بِها، حَتَّى نَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ نُشَجِّعَ الَّذِينَ يَمُرُّونَ بِأَيَّةِ ضِيقَةٍ، بِالتَّشْجِيعِ الَّذِي بِهِ يُشَجِّعُنَا اللهُ.

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

٥ 5 فَكَمَا تَفِيضُ عَلَيْنَا آلامُ الْمَسِيحِ، يَفِيضُ عَلَيْنَا أَيْضاً التَّشْجِيعُ بِالْمَسِيحِ.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

٦ 6 فَإِنْ كُنَّا فِي ضِيقَةٍ، فَذَلِكَ لأَجْلِ تَشْجِيعِكُمْ وَخَلاصِكُمْ؛ وَإِنْ كُنَّا مُتَشَجِّعِينَ، فَذَلِكَ لأَجْلِ تَشْجِيعِكُمْ، مِمَّا يَعْمَلُ فِيكُمْ عَلَى احْتِمَالِ نَفْسِ الآلامِ الَّتِي نَتَأَلَّمُ بِها نَحْنُ أَيْضاً.

And whether we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

٧ 7 وَإِنَّ رَجَاءَنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ هُوَ رَجَاءٌ وَطِيدٌ، إِذْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُمْ كَمَا تَشْتَرِكُونَ مَعَنَا فِي احْتِمَالِ الآلامِ، سَتَشْتَرِكُونَ أَيْضاً فِي نَوَالِ التَّشْجِيعِ.

And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

٨ 8 فَيَا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، نُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَمْرُ الضِّيقَةِ الَّتِي مَرَرْنَا بِها فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ أَسِيَّا. فَقَدْ كَانَتْ وَطْأَتُهَا عَلَيْنَا شَدِيدَةً جِدّاً وَفَوْقَ طَاقَتِنَا، حَتَّى يَئِسْنَا مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ نَفْسِهَا.

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life:

٩ 9 وَلَكِنَّنَا شَعَرْنَا، فِي قَرَارَةِ أَنْفُسِنَا، أَنَّهُ مَحْكُومٌ عَلَيْنَا بِالْمَوْتِ، حَتَّى نَكُونَ مُتَّكِلِينَ لَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا بَلْ عَلَى اللهِ الَّذِي يُقِيمُ الأَمْوَاتَ؛

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead:

١٠ 10 وَقَدْ أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَوْتِ الشَّنِيعِ، وَمَازَالَ يُنْقِذُنَا حَتَّى الآنَ، وَلَنَا مِلْءُ الثِّقَةِ بِأَنَّهُ حَقّاً سَيُنْقِذُنَا فِيمَا بَعْدُ؛

Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

١١ 11 عَلَى أَنْ تُسَاعِدُونَا أَنْتُمْ بِالصَّلاةِ لأَجْلِنَا؛ حَتَّى إِنَّ مَا يُوهَبُ لَنَا اسْتِجَابَةً لِصَلاةِ الْكَثِيرِينَ، يَدْفَعُ الْكَثِيرِينَ إِلَى الشُّكْرِ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا.

Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

١٢ 12 فَإِنَّ فَخْرَنَا هُوَ هَذَا: شَهَادَةُ ضَمِيرِنَا بِأَنَّنَا، فِي قَدَاسَةِ اللهِ وَإِخْلاصِهِ، قَدْ سَلَكْنَا فِي الْعَالَمِ، وَبِخَاصَّةٍ تُجَاهَكُمْ؛ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ بِحِكْمَةٍ بَشَرِيَّةٍ بَلْ بِنِعْمَةِ اللهِ.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

١٣ 13 فَإِنَّنَا لَا نَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ سِوَى مَا تَقْرَأُونَهُ وَتَفْهَمُونَهُ. وَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَفْهَمُوا الْفَهْمَ كُلَّهُ،

For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

١٤ 14 كَمَا قَدْ فَهِمْتُمُونَا فَهْماً جُزْئِيًّا، أَنَّنَا سَنَكُونُ فَخْراً لَكُمْ، مِثْلَمَا أَنْتُمْ فَخْرٌ لَنَا، فِي يَوْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ.

As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

١٥ 15 فَبِهذِهِ الْقَنَاعَةِ، كُنْتُ قَدْ نَوَيْتُ سَابِقاً أَنْ أَجِيءَ إِلَيْكُمْ، لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ فَرَحٌ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى،

And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

١٦ 16 وَأَنْ أَمُرَّ بِكُمْ فِي طَرِيقِي إِلَى مُقَاطَعَةِ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَيْضاً فِي عَوْدَتِي مِنْهَا، وَبَعْدَئِذٍ تُسَهِّلُونَ لِي سَبِيلَ السَّفَرِ إِلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ.

And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again from Macedonia to you, and by you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.

١٧ 17 فَهَلْ تَظُنُّونَ أَنِّي بِاعْتِمَادِي لِهذِهِ الْخُطَّةِ تَصَرَّفْتُ بِخِفَّةٍ، أَوْ أَنِّي أَتَّخِذُ قَرَارَاتِي وَفْقاً لِمَنْطِقِ الْبَشَرِ، لِيَكُونَ فِي كَلامِي نَعَمْ نَعَمْ وَلا لَا فِي آنٍ وَاحِدٍ؟

When I therefore was thus minded, did I do it lightly? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

١٨ 18 صَادِقٌ هُوَ اللهُ، وَيَشْهَدُ أَنَّ كَلامَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ لَيْسَ نَعَمْ وَلا مَعاً!

But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

١٩ 19 فَإِنَّ ابْنَ اللهِ، الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي بَشَّرْنَا بِهِ فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ، أَنَا وَسِلْوَانُسُ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ، لَمْ يَكُنْ نَعَمْ وَلا مَعاً، وَإِنَّمَا فِيهِ نَعَمْ.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

٢٠ 20 فَمَهْمَا كَانَتْ وُعُودُ اللهِ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِ «النَّعَمْ» لَهَا كُلِّهَا، وَفِيهِ الآمِينُ بِنَا لأَجْلِ مَجْدِ اللهِ.

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.

٢١ 21 وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِي يُرَسِّخُنَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، وَالَّذِي قَدْ مَسَحَنَا، إِنَّمَا هُوَ اللهُ،

Now he who establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

٢٢ 22 وَهُوَ أَيْضاً قَدْ وَضَعَ خَتْمَهُ عَلَيْنَا، وَوَهَبَنَا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ عُرْبُوناً فِي قُلُوبِنَا.

Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

٢٣ 23 غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَدْعُو اللهَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَى نَفْسِي بِأَنِّي إِشْفَاقاً عَلَيْكُمْ لَمْ آتِ إِلَى كُورِنْثُوسَ.

Moreover I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I have not as yet come to Corinth.

٢٤ 24 وَهَذَا لَا يَعْنِي أَنَّنَا نَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى إِيمَانِكُمْ، بَلْ إِنَّنَا مُعَاوِنُونَ لَكُمْ نَعْمَلُ لأَجْلِ فَرَحِكُمْ. فَبِالإِيمَانِ أَنْتُمْ ثَابِتُونَ.

Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
