2 Corinthians 12
1 To boast (it behooves [me], *N(K)O*) not (is it profitable indeed, *N(K)O*) I will go on (however *N(k)O*) to visions and revelations of [the] Lord.
Si gloriari oportet (non expedit quidem): veniam autem ad visiones, et revelationes Domini.
2 I know a man in Christ ago years fourteen — whether in [the] body not I know, or out of the body not I know, God knows — having been caught up such a man until [the] third heaven.
Scio hominem in Christo ante annos quattuordecim, sive in corpore, sive extra corpus nescio, Deus scit, raptum huiusmodi usque ad tertium caelum.
3 And I know such a man — whether in [the] body or (out of *N(k)O*) the body, not I know, God knows —
Et scio huiusmodi hominem sive in corpore, sive extra corpus nescio, Deus scit:
4 that he was caught up into Paradise and he heard inexpressible declaration which not being permitted to man to speak.
quoniam raptus est in Paradisum: et audivit arcana verba, quae non licet homini loqui.
5 Concerning such a man I will boast, concerning however myself not I will boast only except in the weaknesses (of mine; *K*)
Pro huiusmodi gloriabor: pro me autem nihil gloriabor nisi in infirmitatibus meis.
6 If for I shall desire to boast, not I will be a fool; [the] truth for I will be speaking; I refrain however lest anyone to me myself may credit more than what he sees in me, or hears anything of me
Nam, et si voluero gloriari, non ero insipiens: veritatem enim dicam: parco autem, ne quis me existimet supra id, quod videt in me, aut aliquid audit ex me.
7 and the by surpassingness of the revelations. (Therefore *NO*) that not I may become conceited, was given to me a thorn in [my] flesh, a messenger of Satan that me he may buffet so that not I may become conceited.
Et ne magnitudo revelationum extollat me, datus est mihi stimulus carnis meae angelus Satanae, qui me colaphizet.
8 For this three times the Lord I begged that it may depart from me.
Propter quod ter Dominum rogavi ut discederet a me:
9 And He has said to me; Suffices you the grace of Mine; the for power (of mine *K*) in weakness (is finished. *N(k)O*) Most gladly therefore rather will I boast in the weaknesses of mine, so that may rest upon me myself the power of Christ.
et dixit mihi: Sufficit tibi gratia mea: nam virtus in infirmitate perficitur. Libenter igitur gloriabor in infirmitatibus meis, ut inhabitet in me virtus Christi.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions (and *N(k)O*) difficulties for Christ; when for I may be weak then strong I am.
Propter quod placeo mihi in infirmitatibus meis, in contumeliis, in necessitatibus, in persecutionibus, in angustiis pro Christo: Cum enim infirmor, tunc potens sum.
11 I have become a fool (boasting; *K*) you yourselves me compelled. I myself for was being obliged by you to have been commended; [In] no[thing] for was I inferior to those most eminent most eminent apostles, if even no [thing] I am.
Factus sum insipiens, vos me coegistis. Ego enim a vobis debui commendari: nihil enim minus feci ab iis, qui sunt supra modum Apostoli: tametsi nihil sum:
12 The indeed signs of the apostle were performed among you in all perseverance, (in *k*) signs (both *no*) and in wonders and in miracles.
signa tamen Apostolatus mei facta sunt super vos in omni patientia, in signis, et prodigiis, et virtutibus.
13 In what for is it that you were inferior beyond the rest [of the] churches, only except that myself I myself not did burden you? do forgive me wrong this!
Quid est enim, quod minus habuistis prae ceteris Ecclesiis, nisi quod ego ipse non gravavi vos? Donate mihi hanc iniuriam.
14 Behold third time (this *no*) ready I am to come to you and not I will burden (you; *k*) not for I seek what [is] yours but you. Not for ought the children for the parents to treasure up but the parents for the children;
Ecce tertio hoc paratus sum venire ad vos: et non ero gravis vobis. Non enim quaero quae vestra sunt, sed vos. Nec enim debent filii parentibus thesaurizare, sed parentes filiis.
15 I myself now most gladly will spend and I will be utterly spent for the souls of you, If (even *k*) more abundantly you (loving *NK(o)*) (less *N(k)O*) I am loved!
Ego autem libentissime impendam, et superimpendar ipse pro animabus vestris: licet plus vos diligens, minus diligar.
16 it should be however, I myself not did burden you; but being crafty by trickery you I caught.
Sed esto: ego vos non gravavi: sed cum essem astutus, dolo vos cepi.
17 Surely not any of whom I have sent to you, through him did I exploit you?
Numquid per aliquem eorum, quod misi ad vos, circumveni vos?
18 I urged Titus [to go] and sent with [him] the brother; surely not ever did exploit you Titus? Surely in the same spirit did we walk? Not in the same steps?
Rogavi Titum, et misi cum illo fratrem. Numquid Titus vos circumvenit? nonne eodem spiritu ambulavimus? nonne iisdem vestigiis?
19 (Previously *N(K)O*) you have been thinking that to you we are presenting a defense. (before *N(k)O*) (*k*) God in Christ we speak. but all things, beloved, for your edification.
Olim putatis quod excusemus nos apud vos? Coram Deo in Christo loquimur: omnia autem charissimi propter aedificationem vestram.
20 I fear for lest perhaps having come not such as I wish I may find you, and I myself and I myself may be found by you such as not you do wish, lest perhaps (a quarrel, jealousy, *N(k)O*) anger, contentions slander, gossip, conceit, disorder,
Timeo enim ne forte cum venero, non quales volo, inveniam vos: et ego inveniar a vobis, qualem non vultis: ne forte contentiones, aemulationes, animositates, dissensiones, detractiones, susurrationes, inflationes, seditiones sint inter vos:
21 lest again (when was coming *N(k)O*) (I *no*) (he may humble *NK(o)*) me the God, of mine before you, and I may mourn over many of those having sinned before and not having repented of the impurity and of sexual immorality and of sensuality that they have practiced.
ne iterum cum venero, humiliet me Deus apud vos, et lugeam multos ex iis, qui ante peccaverunt, et non egerunt poenitentiam super immunditia, et fornicatione, et impudicitia, quam gesserunt.
