2 Corinthians 2
1 For my own sake, as well, I decided not to pay you another painful visit.
| وَلَكِنِّي جَزَمْتُ بِهَذَا فِي نَفْسِي أَنْ لَا آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْضًا فِي حُزْنٍ. | ١ |
2 If it is I who cause you pain, why, who is there to cheer me, except the very person whom I am paining?
| لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ أُحْزِنُكُمْ أَنَا، فَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُفَرِّحُنِي إِلَّا ٱلَّذِي أَحْزَنْتُهُ؟ | ٢ |
3 So I wrote as I did, for fear that, if I had come, I should have been pained by those who ought to have made me glad; for I felt sure that it was true of you all that my joy was in every case yours also.
| وَكَتَبْتُ لَكُمْ هَذَا عَيْنَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ لَا يَكُونُ لِي حُزْنٌ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ أَفْرَحَ بِهِمْ، وَاثِقًا بِجَمِيعِكُمْ أَنَّ فَرَحِي هُوَ فَرَحُ جَمِيعِكُمْ. | ٣ |
4 I wrote to you in sore trouble and distress of heart and with many tears, not to give you pain, but to let you see how intense a love I have for you.
| لِأَنِّي مِنْ حُزْنٍ كَثِيرٍ وَكَآبَةِ قَلْبٍ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِدُمُوعٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، لَا لِكَيْ تَحْزَنُوا، بَلْ لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدِي وَلَا سِيَّمَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ. | ٤ |
5 Now whoever has caused the pain has not so much pained me, as he has, to some extent — not to be too severe — pained every one of you.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ قَدْ أَحْزَنَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُحْزِنِّي، بَلْ أَحْزَنَ جَمِيعَكُمْ بَعْضَ ٱلْحُزْنِ لِكَيْ لَا أُثَقِّلَ. | ٥ |
6 The man to whom I refer has been sufficiently punished by the penalty inflicted by the majority of you;
| مِثْلُ هَذَا يَكْفِيهِ هَذَا ٱلْقِصَاصُ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلْأَكْثَرِينَ، | ٦ |
7 so that now you must take the opposite course, and forgive and encourage him, or else he may be overwhelmed by the intensity of his pain.
| حَتَّى تَكُونُوا - بِٱلْعَكْسِ - تُسَامِحُونَهُ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ وَتُعَزُّونَهُ، لِئَلَّا يُبْتَلَعَ مِثْلُ هَذَا مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ ٱلْمُفْرِطِ. | ٧ |
8 So I entreat you to assure him of your love.
| لِذَلِكَ أَطْلُبُ أَنْ تُمَكِّنُوا لَهُ ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ. | ٨ |
9 I had this further object, also, in what I wrote — to ascertain whether you might be relied upon to be obedient in everything.
| لِأَنِّي لِهَذَا كَتَبْتُ لِكَيْ أَعْرِفَ تَزْكِيَتَكُمْ: هَلْ أَنْتُمْ طَائِعُونَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ؟ | ٩ |
10 When you forgive a man anything, I forgive him, too. Indeed, for my part, whatever I have forgiven (if I have had to forgive anything), I have forgiven for your sakes, in the presence of Christ,
| وَٱلَّذِي تُسَامِحُونَهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَنَا أَيْضًا. لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَا سَامَحْتُ بِهِ - إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ سَامَحْتُ بِشَيْءٍ - فَمِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ بِحَضْرَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، | ١٠ |
11 so as to prevent Satan from taking advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
| لِئَلَّا يَطْمَعَ فِينَا ٱلشَّيْطَانُ، لِأَنَّنَا لَا نَجْهَلُ أَفْكَارَهُ. | ١١ |
12 When I went to the district round Troas to tell the Good News of the Christ, even though there was an opening for serving the Master,
| وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا جِئْتُ إِلَى تَرُوَاسَ، لِأَجْلِ إِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَٱنْفَتَحَ لِي بَابٌ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ، | ١٢ |
13 I could get no peace of mind because I failed to find Titus, my Brother; so I took leave of the people there, and went on to Macedonia.
| لَمْ تَكُنْ لِي رَاحَةٌ فِي رُوحِي، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ تِيطُسَ أَخِي. لَكِنْ وَدَّعْتُهُمْ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ. | ١٣ |
14 All thanks to God, who, through our union with the Christ, leads us in one continual triumph, and uses us to spread the sweet odour of the knowledge of him in every place.
| وَلَكِنْ شُكْرًا لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي يَقُودُنَا فِي مَوْكِبِ نُصْرَتِهِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، وَيُظْهِرُ بِنَا رَائِحَةَ مَعْرِفَتِهِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ. | ١٤ |
15 For we are the fragrance of Christ ascending to God — both among those who are in the path of Salvation and among those who are in the path to Ruin.
| لِأَنَّنَا رَائِحَةُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلذَّكِيَّةُ لِلهِ، فِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ وَفِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَهْلِكُونَ. | ١٥ |
16 To the latter we are an odour which arises from death and tells of Death; to the former an odour which arises from life and tells of Life. But who is equal to such a task?
| لِهَؤُلَاءِ رَائِحَةُ مَوْتٍ لِمَوْتٍ، وَلِأُولَئِكَ رَائِحَةُ حَيَاةٍ لِحَيَاةٍ. وَمَنْ هُوَ كُفْوءٌ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ؟ | ١٦ |
17 Unlike many people, we are not in the habit of making profit out of God’s Message; but in all sincerity, and bearing God’s commission, we speak before him in union with Christ.
| لِأَنَّنَا لَسْنَا كَٱلْكَثِيرِينَ غَاشِّينَ كَلِمَةَ ٱللهِ، لَكِنْ كَمَا مِنْ إِخْلَاصٍ، بَلْ كَمَا مِنَ ٱللهِ نَتَكَلَّمُ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ. | ١٧ |
