2 Corinthians 12
1 To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the LORD.
| ܠܡܫܬܒܗܪܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܦܩܚ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܠܚܙܘܢܐ ܘܠܓܠܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ |
2 I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God has known—such a one being snatched up to the third heaven;
| ܝܕܥܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܪܒܥܤܪܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܢ ܒܦܓܪ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܢ ܕܠܐ ܦܓܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܝܕܥ ܕܐܬܚܛܦ ܗܘ ܗܢܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܬܠܬܐ |
3 and I have known such a man—whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God has known—
| ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܢ ܒܦܓܪ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܢ ܕܠܐ ܦܓܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܝܕܥ |
4 that he was snatched up to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.
| ܕܐܬܚܛܦ ܠܦܪܕܝܤܐ ܘܫܡܥ ܡܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܡܠܠܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܐܢܝܢ |
5 Of such a one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses,
| ܥܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܫܬܒܗܪ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܒܗܪ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ |
6 for if I may wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will say truth; but I refrain, lest in regard to me anyone may think anything above what he sees me, or hears anything of me;
| ܐܢ ܐܨܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܫܬܒܗܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܫܛܝܐ ܫܪܪܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܚܐܤܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܬܪܥܐ ܥܠܝ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܠܝ ܘܕܫܡܥ ܡܢܝ |
7 and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted too much, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, that he might batter me, that I might not be exalted too much.
| ܘܕܠܐ ܐܬܪܝܡ ܒܝܬܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܓܠܝܢܐ ܐܫܬܠܡ ܠܝ ܫܦܝܐ ܠܒܤܪܝ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܤܛܢܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܡܩܦܚ ܠܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܪܝܡ |
8 I called on the LORD three times concerning this thing, that it might depart from me,
| ܘܥܠ ܗܢܐ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܥܝܬ ܡܢ ܡܪܝ ܕܢܦܪܩ ܡܢܝ |
9 and He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness”; most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܤܦܩܐ ܠܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܝ ܚܝܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܒܟܪܝܗܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܡܬܓܡܪ ܚܕܝܐܝܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܫܬܒܗܪ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܝ ܕܢܓܢ ܥܠܝ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ |
10 for this reason I am well pleased in weaknesses, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I may be weak, then I am powerful;
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܒܨܥܪܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܒܪܕܘܦܝܐ ܒܚܒܘܫܝܐ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܚܝܠܬܢ ܐܢܐ |
11 I have become a fool—boasting; you compelled me; for I ought to have been commended by you, for I was behind the very chiefest apostles in nothing—even if I am nothing.
| ܗܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܚܤܝܪ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܒܫܘܒܗܪܝ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܠܨܬܘܢܢܝ ܚܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܤܗܕܘܢ ܥܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܒܨܪܬ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܒ ܡܝܬܪܝܢ ܘܐܦܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܕܡ |
12 The signs, indeed, of the apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,
| ܐܬܘܬܐ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܒܟܠ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘ ܘܒܓܒܪܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܕܡܪܬܐ ܘܒܚܝܠܐ |
13 for what is there in which you were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this injustice!
| ܒܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܒܨܪܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܗܕܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܩܪܬ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܠܝ ܗܕܐ ܤܟܠܘܬܐ |
14 Behold, a third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I do not seek yours, but you, for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children,
| ܗܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܬܠܬ ܗܝ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܒ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܩܪ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܚܝܒܝܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܠܡܤܡ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܠܐܒܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܒܗܐ ܠܒܢܝܗܘܢ |
15 and I will most gladly spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, loving you more abundantly, I am loved less.
| ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕܝܐܝܬ ܘܢܦܩܬܐ ܐܦܩ ܘܐܦ ܩܢܘܡܝ ܐܬܠ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ ܐܦܢ ܟܕ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܚܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܨܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܚܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ |
16 And be it [so], I did not burden you, but being crafty, I took you with guile;
| ܘܟܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܩܪܬ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܪܥܐ ܒܢܟܠܐ ܓܢܒܬܟܘܢ |
17 anyone of those whom I have sent to you—did I take advantage of you by him?
| ܠܡܐ ܒܝܕ ܐܢܫ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܕܫܕܪܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܬܝܥܢܬ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ |
18 I begged Titus, and sent with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same Spirit? Did we not [walk] in the same steps?
| ܡܢ ܛܛܘܤ ܒܥܝܬ ܘܫܕܪܬ ܥܡܗ ܠܐܚܐ ܠܡܐ ܡܕܡ ܐܬܝܥܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܛܛܘܤ ܠܘ ܒܚܕܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܗܠܟܢ ܘܒܗܝܢ ܒܥܩܒܬܐ |
19 Again, [do] you think that we are making defense to you? We speak before God in Christ; and all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,
| ܠܡܐ ܬܘܒ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܢܦܩܝܢܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢܢ ܘܟܠܗܝܢ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܡܛܠ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ |
20 for I fear lest, having come, I may not find you such as I wish, and I may be found by you such as you do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, slanders, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,
| ܕܚܠ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܫܬܟܚ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܝܬܘܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܚܪܝܢܐ ܘܚܤܡܐ ܘܚܡܬܐ ܘܥܨܝܢܐ ܘܡܐܟܠ ܩܪܨܐ ܘܪܛܢܐ ܘܚܬܝܪܘܬܐ ܘܫܓܘܫܝܐ |
21 lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may mourn many of those having sinned before, and having not changed their mind concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and licentiousness, that they practiced.
| ܕܠܡܐ ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܢܡܟܟܢܝ ܐܠܗܝ ܘܐܬܐܒܠ ܥܠ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܛܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ ܡܢ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܦܚܙܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܘ |
