2 كورنثوس 5

١ 1 فَإِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ مَتَى تَهَدَّمَتْ خَيْمَتُنَا الأَرْضِيَّةُ الَّتِي نَسْكُنُهَا الآنَ، يَكُونُ لَنَا بِنَاءٌ مِنَ اللهِ: بَيْتٌ لَمْ تَصْنَعْهُ أَيْدِي الْبَشَرِ، أَبَدِيٌّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. (aiōnios g166)

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)

٢ 2 فَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّنَا، وَنَحْنُ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْكِنِ، نَئِنُّ مُتَشَوِّقِينَ أَنْ نَلْبَسَ فَوْقَهُ بَيْتَنَا السَّمَاوِيَّ،

For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,

٣ 3 حَتَّى إِذَا لَبِسْنَاهُ لَا نُوجَدُ عُرَاةً.

since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.

٤ 4 ذَلِكَ أَنَّنَا، نَحْنُ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي هذِهِ الْخَيْمَةِ، نَئِنُّ كَمَنْ يَحْمِلُ ثِقْلاً، فَنَحْنُ لَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَخْلَعَهَا، بَلْ أَنْ نَلْبَسَ فَوْقَهَا مَسْكَنَنَا السَّمَاوِيَّ، فَتَبْتَلِعَ الْحَيَاةُ مَا هُوَ مَائِتٌ فِينَا.

For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

٥ 5 وَالَّذِي أَعَدَّنَا لِهَذَا الأَمْرِ بِعَيْنِهِ هُوَ اللهُ، وَقَدْ أَعْطَانَا الرُّوحَ عُرْبُوناً أَيْضاً.

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

٦ 6 لِذَلِكَ نَحْنُ وَاثِقُونَ دَائِماً، وَعَالِمُونَ أَنَّنَا مَادُمْنَا مُقِيمِينَ فِي الْجَسَدِ، نَبْقَى مُغْتَرِبِينَ عَنِ الرَّبِّ،

Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

٧ 7 لأَنَّنَا نَسْلُكُ بِالإِيمَانِ لَا بِالْعِيَانِ.

for we walk by faith, not by sight.

٨ 8 فَنَحْنُ وَاثِقُونَ إِذَنْ، وَرَاضُونَ بِالأَحْرَى أَنْ نَكُونَ مُغْتَرِبِينَ عَنِ الْجَسَدِ وَمُقِيمِينَ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ.

We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

٩ 9 وَلِذَلِكَ أَيْضاً نَحْرِصُ أَنْ نُرْضِيَهُ، سَوَاءٌ أَكُنَّا مُقِيمِينَ أَمْ مُغْتَرِبِينَ.

Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

١٠ 10 إِذْ لابُدَّ أَنْ نَقِفَ جَمِيعاً مَكْشُوفِينَ أَمَامَ كُرْسِيِّ الْمَسِيحِ، لِيَنَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا اسْتِحْقَاقَ مَا عَمِلَهُ حِينَ كَانَ فِي الْجَسَدِ، صَالِحاً كَانَ أَمْ رَدِيئاً!

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

١١ 11 فَبِدَافِعِ وَعْيِنَا لِرَهْبَةِ الرَّبِّ، نُحَاوِلُ إِقْنَاعَ النَّاسِ. وَلَكِنَّنَا ظَاهِرُونَ أَمَامَ اللهِ، وَأَرْجُو أَنْ نَكُونَ ظَاهِرِينَ أَيْضاً فِي ضَمَائِرِكُمْ.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.

١٢ 12 لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا عُدْنَا إِلَى مَدْحِ أَنْفُسِنَا أَمَامَكُمْ؛ بَلْ إِنَّمَا نُقَدِّمُ لَكُمْ مُبَرِّراً لِلافْتِخَارِ بِنَا، لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ حُجَّةٌ تَرُدُّونَ بِها عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَفْتَخِرُونَ بِالْمَظَاهِرِ لَا بِمَا فِي الْقَلْبِ.

We are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

١٣ 13 أَتُرَانَا فَقَدْنَا صَوَابَنَا؟ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لأَجْلِ اللهِ. أَمْ تُرَانَا مُتَعَقِّلِينَ؟ إِنَّ ذلِكَ لأَجْلِكُمْ.

For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.

١٤ 14 فَإِنَّ مَحَبَّةَ الْمَسِيحِ تُسَيْطِرُ عَلَيْنَا، وَقَدْ حَكَمْنَا بِهَذَا: مَادَامَ وَاحِدٌ قَدْ مَاتَ عِوَضاً عَنِ الْجَمِيعِ، فَمَعْنَى ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْجَمِيعَ مَاتُوا؛

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

١٥ 15 وَهُوَ قَدْ مَاتَ عِوَضاً عَنِ الْجَمِيعِ حَتَّى لَا يَعِيشَ الأَحْيَاءُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ بَلْ لِلَّذِي مَاتَ عِوَضاً عَنْهُمْ ثُمَّ قَامَ.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

١٦ 16 إِذَنْ، نَحْنُ مُنْذُ الآنَ لَا نَعْرِفُ أَحَداً مَعْرِفَةً بَشَرِيَّةً. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنَّا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا الْمَسِيحَ مَعْرِفَةً بَشَرِيَّةً، فَنَحْنُ الآنَ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ هكَذَا بَعْدُ.

Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we no longer know him in this way.

١٧ 17 فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، فَهُوَ خَلِيقَةٌ جَدِيدَةٌ: إِنَّ الأَشْيَاءَ الْقَدِيمَةَ قَدْ زَالَتْ، وَهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ صَارَ جَدِيداً.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.

١٨ 18 وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ الَّذِي صَالَحَنَا مَعَ نَفْسِهِ بِالْمَسِيحِ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَنَا خِدْمَةَ هَذِهِ الْمُصَالَحَةِ.

But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

١٩ 19 ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللهَ كَانَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ مُصَالِحاً الْعَالَمَ مَعَ نَفْسِهِ، غَيْرَ حَاسِبٍ عَلَيْهِمْ خَطَايَاهُمْ، وَقَدْ وَضَعَ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا رِسَالَةَ هَذِهِ الْمُصَالَحَةِ.

namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

٢٠ 20 فَنَحْنُ إِذَنْ سُفَرَاءُ الْمَسِيحِ، وَكَأَنَّ اللهَ يَعِظُ بِنَا نُنَادِي عَنِ الْمَسِيحِ: «تَصَالَحُوا مَعَ اللهِ!»

We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

٢١ 21 فَإِنَّ الَّذِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْ خَطِيئَةً، جَعَلَهُ اللهُ خَطِيئَةً لأَجْلِنَا، لِنَصِيرَ نَحْنُ بِرَّ اللهِ فِيهِ.

For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
