< 2 Corinthians 2 >

1 For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
ⲁ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲑⲣⲓ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
2 For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
ⲃ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧϯⲉⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲑⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏ ⲉⲑⲙⲟⲕϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ.
3 And I wrote this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲧϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϭⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲥ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲣⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲁϩⲏⲧ ⲑⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲫⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
ⲇ̅⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲉⲙⲕⲁϩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲭⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
5 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
ⲉ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϯ ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲧⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲡⲟⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲩⲁϩⲃⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
6 Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
ⲋ̅ⲕⲏⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ ⳿ ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲓⲁ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ.
7 so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲃⲏϥ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲉⲙⲕⲁϩⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲱⲙⲕ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
8 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
10 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Messiah,
ⲓ̅ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲣ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ϯ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲁⲓϥ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲁⲓϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲁⲓⲁⲓϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϩⲟ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ.̅.
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϭⲓⲧⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲃϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲩ⳿.Ⲓ.
12 Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Messiah, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪.
13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲡⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲉⲣⲁⲡⲟⲧⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ.
14 Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϣⲏⲡ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
15 For we are a sweet aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
16 to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲙⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ⲉⲩⲱⲛϧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲓⲕⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ.
17 For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah.
