< 2 Corinthians 2 >

1 For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲓⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲙⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲡⲏ
2 For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲩⲫⲣⲁⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲓ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ
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.
ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥⲉϩ ⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲧⲁⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲓⲕⲱ ⲛϩⲧⲏⲓ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲡⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ 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.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲱϫϩ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲣⲙⲉⲓⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲉⲓⲥ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ
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.
ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲡⲟ ⲙⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲃⲁⲣⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ
6 Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲓⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲓⲁ ϭⲉ ⲣⲱϣⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ
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 ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛⲥⲉⲱⲙⲕ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ
8 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ
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 Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϯⲕⲱ ϩⲱ ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲣⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲛⲟⲃϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ
12 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲡⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲓ ⲁⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ
14 Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲏⲡ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϫⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ
15 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲥϯⲛⲟⲩϥⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ
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?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲥⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲡϣⲁ
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 Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲛⲉϣⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
