qui consolatur nos in omni tribulatione nostra: ut possimus et ipsi consolari eos qui in omni pressura sunt, per exhortationem, qua exhortamur et ipsi a Deo.
5 For as the passiouns of Crist ben plenteuouse in vs, so also bi Crist oure coumfort is plenteuouse.
Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra.
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,
Sive autem tribulamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, sive consolamur pro vestra consolatione, sive exhortamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, quæ operatur tolerantiam earumdem passionum, quas et nos patimur:
7 that oure hope be sad for you; witynge for as ye ben felowis of passiouns, so ye schulen ben also of coumfort.
ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis.
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.
Non enim volumus ignorare vos, fratres, de tribulatione nostra, quæ facta est in Asia, quoniam supra modum gravati sumus supra virtutem, ita ut tæderet nos etiam vivere.
9 But we in vs silf hadden answere of deth, that we truste not in vs, but in God that reisith deed men.
Sed ipsi in nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes in nobis, sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:
10 Which delyuerede vs, and delyuerith fro so grete perelis, in to whom we hopen, also yit he schal delyuere,
qui de tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit: in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet,
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.
adjuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis: ut ex multorum personis, ejus quæ in nobis est donationis, per multos gratiæ agantur pro nobis.
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.
Nam gloria nostra hæc est: testimonium conscientiæ nostræ, quod in simplicitate cordis et sinceritate Dei, et non in sapientia carnali, sed in gratia Dei, conversati sumus in hoc mundo: abundantius autem ad vos.
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,
Non enim alia scribimus vobis, quam quæ legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,
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.
sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quod gloria vestra sumus, sicut et vos nostra, in die Domini nostri Jesu Christi.
15 And in this tristyng Y wolde first come to you, that ye schulden haue the secounde grace,
Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundum gratiam haberetis:
16 and passe bi you in to Macedonye, and eft fro Macedonye come to you, and of you be led in to Judee.
et per vos transire in Macedoniam, et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos, et a vobis deduci in Judæam.
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?
Cum ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum? aut quæ cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me Est et Non?
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.
Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fuit apud vos, non est in illo Est et Non.
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.
Dei enim Filius Jesus Christus, qui in vobis per nos prædicatus est, per me, et Silvanum, et Timotheum, non fuit Est et Non, sed Est in illo fuit.
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.
Quotquot enim promissiones Dei sunt, in illo Est: ideo et per ipsum Amen Deo ad gloriam nostram.
21 Sotheli it is God that confermeth vs with you in Crist, and the which God anoyntide vs,
Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus:
22 and which markide vs, and yaf ernes of the spirit in oure hertis.
qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris.
23 For Y clepide God to witnesse ayens my soule, that Y sparynge you cam not ouer to Corynthe;
Ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam, quod parcens vobis, non veni ultra Corinthum:
24 not that we ben lordis of youre feith, but we ben helperis of youre ioye; for thorouy bileue ye stonden.
non quia dominamur fidei vestæ, sed adjutores sumus gaudii vestri: nam fide statis.
