< 2 Corinthians 4 >

1 Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
فَمَادَامَتْ لَنَا إِذَنْ هَذِهِ الْخِدْمَةُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنَ اللهِ، فَلا تَخُورُ عَزِيمَتُنَا.١
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty; not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but, by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
وَلَكِنَّنَا قَدْ رَفَضْنَا الأَسَالِيبَ الْخَفِيَّةَ الْمُخْجِلَةَ، إِذْ لَا نَسْلُكُ فِي الْمَكْرِ، وَلا نُزَوِّرُ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، بَلْ بِإِعْلانِنَا لِلْحَقِّ نَمْدَحُ أَنْفُسَنَا لَدَى ضَمِيرِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، أَمَامَ اللهِ.٢
3 But if our gospel is hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ إِنْجِيلُنَا مَحْجُوباً، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَحْجُوبٌ لَدَى الْهَالِكِينَ،٣
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them who believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine to them. (aiōn g165)
لَدَى غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ أَعْمَى إِلَهُ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ أَذْهَانَهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يُضِيءَ لَهُمْ نُورُ الإِنْجِيلِ الْمُخْتَصِّ بِمَجْدِ الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي هُوَ صُورَةُ اللهِ. (aiōn g165)٤
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
فَإِنَّنَا لَا نُبَشِّرُ بِأَنْفُسِنَا، بَلْ بِالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبّاً، وَمَا نَحْنُ إِلّا عَبِيدٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ يَسُوعَ.٥
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined into our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
فَإِنَّ اللهَ، الَّذِي أَمَرَ أَنْ يُشْرِقَ نُورٌ مِنَ الظَّلامِ، هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ النُّورَ يُشْرِقُ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، لإِشْعَاعِ مَعْرِفَةِ مَجْدِ اللهِ الْمُتَجَلِّي فِي وَجْهِ الْمَسِيحِ.٦
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not from us.
وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا الْكَنْزَ نَحْمِلُهُ نَحْنُ فِي أَوْعِيَةٍ مِنْ فَخَّارٍ، لِيَتَبَيَّنَ أَنَّ الْقُدْرَةَ الْفَائِقَةَ آتِيَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ لَا صَادِرَةٌ مِنَّا.٧
8 [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair;
فَالصُّعُوبَاتُ تُضَيِّقُ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، وَلكِنْ لَا نَنْهَارُ. لَا نَجِدُ حَلاً مُنَاسِباً، وَلَكِنْ لَا نَيْأَسُ.٨
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
يُطَارِدُنَا الاضْطِهَادُ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَتَخَلَّى اللهُ عَنَّا. نُطْرَحُ أَرْضاً، وَلَكِنْ لَا نَمُوتُ.٩
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our body.
وَحَيْثُمَا ذَهَبْنَا، نَحْمِلُ مَوْتَ يَسُوعَ دَائِماً فِي أَجْسَادِنَا لِتَظْهَرَ فِيهَا أَيْضاً حَيَاةُ يَسُوعَ.١٠
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
فَمَعَ أَنَّنَا مَازِلْنَا أَحْيَاءَ، فَإِنَّنَا نُسَلَّمُ دَائِماً إِلَى الْمَوْتِ مِنْ أَجْلِ يَسُوعَ، لِتَظْهَرَ فِي أَجْسَادِنَا الْفَانِيَةِ حَيَاةُ يَسُوعَ أَيْضاً.١١
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
وَهكَذَا، فَإِنَّ الْمَوْتَ فَعَّالٌ فِينَا؛ وَالْحَيَاةَ فَعَّالَةٌ فِيكُمْ.١٢
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
وَبِمَا أَنَّ لَنَا رُوحَ الإِيمَانِ عَيْنِهِ، هَذَا الَّذِي كُتِبَ بِخُصُوصِهِ: «آمَنْتُ، لِذلِكَ تَكَلَّمْتُ»، فَنَحْنُ أَيْضاً نُؤْمِنُ، وَلِذَلِكَ نَتَكَلَّمُ،١٣
14 Knowing, that he who raised the Lord Jesus, will raise us also by Jesus, and will present [us] with you.
وَنَحْنُ عَالِمُونَ أَنَّ الَّذِي أَقَامَ الرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ سَوْفَ يُقِيمُنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً مَعَ يَسُوعَ، وَيُوقِفُنَا فِي حَضْرَتِهِ بِصُحْبَتِكُمْ.١٤
15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace may, through the thanksgiving of many, redound to the glory of God.
فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ الأَشْيَاءِ نُقَاسِيهَا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، حَتَّى إِذَا فَاضَتِ النِّعْمَةُ فِي الْكَثِيرِينَ، تَجْعَلُ الشُّكْرَ يَفِيضُ لأَجْلِ مَجْدِ اللهِ.١٥
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man is wasted, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.
لِهَذَا، لَا تَخُورُ عَزِيمَتُنَا! وَلَكِنْ، مَادَامَ الإِنْسَانُ الظَّاهِرُ فِينَا يَفْنَى، فَإِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الْبَاطِنَ فِينَا يَتَجَدَّدُ يَوْماً فَيَوْماً.١٦
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh out for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ مَا يُضَايِقُنَا الآنَ مِنْ صُعُوبَاتٍ بَسِيطَةٍ عَابِرَةٍ، يُنْتِجُ لَنَا بِمِقْدَارٍ لَا يُحَدُّ وَزْنَةً أَبَدِيَّةً مِنَ الْمَجْدِ، (aiōnios g166)١٧
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal. (aiōnios g166)
إِذْ نَرْفَعُ أَنْظَارَنَا عَنِ الأُمُورِ الْمَنْظُورَةِ وَنُثَبِّتُهَا عَلَى الأُمُورِ غَيْرِ الْمَنْظُورَةِ. فَإِنَّ الأُمُورَ الْمَنْظُورَةَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ إِلَى حِينٍ؛ وَأَمَّا غَيْرُ الْمَنْظُورَةِ فَهِيَ أَبَدِيَّةٌ. (aiōnios g166)١٨
