2 Corinthians 1
1 Poul, apostle of Jhesu Crist, bi the wille of God, and Tymothe, brothir, to the chirche of God that is at Corinthi, with alle seyntis that ben in al Acaie, grace to you,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the Assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the holy ones who are in all Achaia:
2 and pees of God oure fadir and of the Lord Jhesu Crist.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3 Blessid be God and the fadir of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, fadir of mercies, and God of al coumfort,
Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort,
4 which coumfortith vs in al oure tribulacioun, that also we moun coumforte hem, that ben in al diseese, bi the monestyng bi which also we ben monestid of God.
who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;
5 For as the passiouns of Crist ben plenteuouse in vs, so also bi Crist oure coumfort is plenteuouse.
because, as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so through the Christ our comfort also abounds;
6 And whether we ben in tribulacioun, for youre tribulacioun and heelthe, ethir we ben coumfortid, for youre coumfort, ethir we ben monestid, for youre monestyng and heelthe. Which worchith in you the suffring of the same passiouns, whiche `we also suffren,
and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is worked in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;
7 that oure hope be sad for you; witynge for as ye ben felowis of passiouns, so ye schulen ben also of coumfort.
and our hope [is] steadfast for you, knowing that even as you are partakers of the sufferings—so also of the comfort.
8 For, britheren, we wolen that ye wite of oure tribulacioun, that was don in Asie; for ouer maner we weren greued ouer myyt, so that it anoiede vs, yhe, to lyue.
For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we even despaired of life;
9 But we in vs silf hadden answere of deth, that we truste not in vs, but in God that reisith deed men.
but we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,
10 Which delyuerede vs, and delyuerith fro so grete perelis, in to whom we hopen, also yit he schal delyuere,
who delivered us out of so great a death, and delivers, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;
11 while also ye helpen in preier for vs; that of the persones of many faces of that yyuyng that is in vs, thankyngis ben don for vs bi many men to God.
you also working together for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many, may be thankfully acknowledged for us.
12 For oure glorie is this, the witnessyng of oure conscience, that in symplenesse and clennesse of God, and not in fleischli wisdom, but in the grace of God, we lyueden in this world, but more plenteuousli to you.
For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;
13 And we writen not othere thingis to you, than tho that ye han red and knowe, and Y hope that in to the ende ye schulen knowe,
for no other things do we write to you, but what you either read or also acknowledge, and I hope that you will also acknowledge to the end,
14 as also ye han knowe vs a parti; for we ben youre glorie, as also ye ben oure in the dai of oure Lord Jhesu Crist.
according as you also acknowledged us in part, that we are your glory, even as also you [are] ours, in the Day of the Lord Jesus;
15 And in this tristyng Y wolde first come to you, that ye schulden haue the secounde grace,
and in this confidence I was intending to come to you before, that you might have a second favor,
16 and passe bi you in to Macedonye, and eft fro Macedonye come to you, and of you be led in to Judee.
and to pass to Macedonia through you, and to come to you again from Macedonia, and to be sent forward by you to Judea.
17 But whanne Y wolde this thing, whether Y vside vnstidfastnesse, ether tho thingis that Y thenke, Y thenke aftir the fleisch, that at me be, it is and it is not?
This, therefore, intending, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, [did] I counsel according to the flesh, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?
18 But God is trewe, for oure word that was at you is and is not, is not ther ynne, but is is in it.
And God [is] faithful, that our word to you did not become Yes and No,
19 For whi Jhesus Crist, the sone of God, which is prechid among you bi vs, bi me, and Syluan, and Tymothe, ther was not in hym is and is not, but is was in hym.
for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, having been preached through us among you—through me and Silvanus and Timotheus—did not become Yes and No, but in Him it has become Yes;
20 For whi hou many euer ben biheestis of God, in thilke is, `that is, ben fillid. And therfor and bi hym we seien amen to God, to oure glorie.
for as many as [are] promises of God, in Him [are] the Yes, and in Him the Amen, for glory to God through us;
21 Sotheli it is God that confermeth vs with you in Crist, and the which God anoyntide vs,
and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and anointed us, [is] God,
22 and which markide vs, and yaf ernes of the spirit in oure hertis.
who also sealed us, and gave the deposit of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 For Y clepide God to witnesse ayens my soule, that Y sparynge you cam not ouer to Corynthe;
And I call on God for a witness on my soul, that sparing you, I did not come to Corinth yet;
24 not that we ben lordis of youre feith, but we ben helperis of youre ioye; for thorouy bileue ye stonden.
not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by faith you stand.
