2 Corinthians 1

1 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 saints who are in all Achaia:

١ مِنْ بُولُسَ، رَسُولِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ، وَمِنَ الأَخِ تِيمُوثَاوُسَ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ اللهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ كُورِنْثُوسَ، وَإِلَى جَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ أَخَائِيَةَ كُلِّهَا.

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

٢ لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَمِنَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!

3 Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

٣ تَبَارَكَ اللهُ، أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، أَبُو الْمَرَاحِمِ وَإِلَهُ كُلِّ تَعْزِيَةٍ،

4 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;

٤ هُوَ الَّذِي يُشَجِّعُنَا فِي كُلِّ ضِيقَةٍ نَمُرُّ بِها، حَتَّى نَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ نُشَجِّعَ الَّذِينَ يَمُرُّونَ بِأَيَّةِ ضِيقَةٍ، بِالتَّشْجِيعِ الَّذِي بِهِ يُشَجِّعُنَا اللهُ.

5 because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

٥ فَكَمَا تَفِيضُ عَلَيْنَا آلامُ الْمَسِيحِ، يَفِيضُ عَلَيْنَا أَيْضاً التَّشْجِيعُ بِالْمَسِيحِ.

6 and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;

٦ فَإِنْ كُنَّا فِي ضِيقَةٍ، فَذَلِكَ لأَجْلِ تَشْجِيعِكُمْ وَخَلاصِكُمْ؛ وَإِنْ كُنَّا مُتَشَجِّعِينَ، فَذَلِكَ لأَجْلِ تَشْجِيعِكُمْ، مِمَّا يَعْمَلُ فِيكُمْ عَلَى احْتِمَالِ نَفْسِ الآلامِ الَّتِي نَتَأَلَّمُ بِها نَحْنُ أَيْضاً.

7 and our hope [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings — so also of the comfort.

٧ وَإِنَّ رَجَاءَنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ هُوَ رَجَاءٌ وَطِيدٌ، إِذْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُمْ كَمَا تَشْتَرِكُونَ مَعَنَا فِي احْتِمَالِ الآلامِ، سَتَشْتَرِكُونَ أَيْضاً فِي نَوَالِ التَّشْجِيعِ.

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we despaired even of life;

٨ فَيَا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، نُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَمْرُ الضِّيقَةِ الَّتِي مَرَرْنَا بِها فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ أَسِيَّا. فَقَدْ كَانَتْ وَطْأَتُهَا عَلَيْنَا شَدِيدَةً جِدّاً وَفَوْقَ طَاقَتِنَا، حَتَّى يَئِسْنَا مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ نَفْسِهَا.

9 but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,

٩ وَلَكِنَّنَا شَعَرْنَا، فِي قَرَارَةِ أَنْفُسِنَا، أَنَّهُ مَحْكُومٌ عَلَيْنَا بِالْمَوْتِ، حَتَّى نَكُونَ مُتَّكِلِينَ لَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا بَلْ عَلَى اللهِ الَّذِي يُقِيمُ الأَمْوَاتَ؛

10 who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

١٠ وَقَدْ أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَوْتِ الشَّنِيعِ، وَمَازَالَ يُنْقِذُنَا حَتَّى الآنَ، وَلَنَا مِلْءُ الثِّقَةِ بِأَنَّهُ حَقّاً سَيُنْقِذُنَا فِيمَا بَعْدُ؛

11 ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

١١ عَلَى أَنْ تُسَاعِدُونَا أَنْتُمْ بِالصَّلاةِ لأَجْلِنَا؛ حَتَّى إِنَّ مَا يُوهَبُ لَنَا اسْتِجَابَةً لِصَلاةِ الْكَثِيرِينَ، يَدْفَعُ الْكَثِيرِينَ إِلَى الشُّكْرِ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا.

12 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 did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

١٢ فَإِنَّ فَخْرَنَا هُوَ هَذَا: شَهَادَةُ ضَمِيرِنَا بِأَنَّنَا، فِي قَدَاسَةِ اللهِ وَإِخْلاصِهِ، قَدْ سَلَكْنَا فِي الْعَالَمِ، وَبِخَاصَّةٍ تُجَاهَكُمْ؛ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ بِحِكْمَةٍ بَشَرِيَّةٍ بَلْ بِنِعْمَةِ اللهِ.

13 for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,

١٣ فَإِنَّنَا لَا نَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ سِوَى مَا تَقْرَأُونَهُ وَتَفْهَمُونَهُ. وَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَفْهَمُوا الْفَهْمَ كُلَّهُ،

14 according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye [are] ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus;

١٤ كَمَا قَدْ فَهِمْتُمُونَا فَهْماً جُزْئِيًّا، أَنَّنَا سَنَكُونُ فَخْراً لَكُمْ، مِثْلَمَا أَنْتُمْ فَخْرٌ لَنَا، فِي يَوْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ.

15 and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,

١٥ فَبِهذِهِ الْقَنَاعَةِ، كُنْتُ قَدْ نَوَيْتُ سَابِقاً أَنْ أَجِيءَ إِلَيْكُمْ، لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ فَرَحٌ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى،

16 and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea.

١٦ وَأَنْ أَمُرَّ بِكُمْ فِي طَرِيقِي إِلَى مُقَاطَعَةِ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَيْضاً فِي عَوْدَتِي مِنْهَا، وَبَعْدَئِذٍ تُسَهِّلُونَ لِي سَبِيلَ السَّفَرِ إِلَى مِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ.

17 This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

١٧ فَهَلْ تَظُنُّونَ أَنِّي بِاعْتِمَادِي لِهذِهِ الْخُطَّةِ تَصَرَّفْتُ بِخِفَّةٍ، أَوْ أَنِّي أَتَّخِذُ قَرَارَاتِي وَفْقاً لِمَنْطِقِ الْبَشَرِ، لِيَكُونَ فِي كَلامِي نَعَمْ نَعَمْ وَلا لَا فِي آنٍ وَاحِدٍ؟

18 and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,

١٨ صَادِقٌ هُوَ اللهُ، وَيَشْهَدُ أَنَّ كَلامَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ لَيْسَ نَعَمْ وَلا مَعاً!

19 for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached — through me and Silvanus and Timotheus — did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;

١٩ فَإِنَّ ابْنَ اللهِ، الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِي بَشَّرْنَا بِهِ فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ، أَنَا وَسِلْوَانُسُ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ، لَمْ يَكُنْ نَعَمْ وَلا مَعاً، وَإِنَّمَا فِيهِ نَعَمْ.

20 for as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

٢٠ فَمَهْمَا كَانَتْ وُعُودُ اللهِ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِ «النَّعَمْ» لَهَا كُلِّهَا، وَفِيهِ الآمِينُ بِنَا لأَجْلِ مَجْدِ اللهِ.

21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, [is] God,

٢١ وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِي يُرَسِّخُنَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، وَالَّذِي قَدْ مَسَحَنَا، إِنَّمَا هُوَ اللهُ،

22 who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

٢٢ وَهُوَ أَيْضاً قَدْ وَضَعَ خَتْمَهُ عَلَيْنَا، وَوَهَبَنَا الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ عُرْبُوناً فِي قُلُوبِنَا.

23 And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth;

٢٣ غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَدْعُو اللهَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَى نَفْسِي بِأَنِّي إِشْفَاقاً عَلَيْكُمْ لَمْ آتِ إِلَى كُورِنْثُوسَ.

24 not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.

٢٤ وَهَذَا لَا يَعْنِي أَنَّنَا نَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى إِيمَانِكُمْ، بَلْ إِنَّنَا مُعَاوِنُونَ لَكُمْ نَعْمَلُ لأَجْلِ فَرَحِكُمْ. فَبِالإِيمَانِ أَنْتُمْ ثَابِتُونَ.
