Corinthios Ii 7
1 Has ergo habentes promissiones, charissimi, mundemus nos ab omni inquinamento carnis, et spiritus perficientes sanctificationem in timore Dei.
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every filthiness of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in fear of God.
2 Capite nos. Neminem læsimus, neminem corrupimus, neminem circumvenimus.
Make room for us. We wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we exploited no man.
3 Non ad condemnationem vestram dico. Prædiximus enim quod in cordibus nostris estis ad commoriendum, et ad convivendum.
I speak not for condemnation, for I have said before that ye are in our hearts to die together and to live together.
4 Multa mihi fiducia est apud vos, multa mihi gloriatio pro vobis, repletus sum consolatione, superabundo gaudio in omni tribulatione nostra.
Great is my boldness toward you, great is my pride for you. I have been filled with encouragement. I over-abound with joy in all our affliction.
5 Nam et cum venissemus in Macedoniam, nullam requiem habuit caro nostra, sed omnem tribulationem passi sumus: foris pugnæ, intus timores.
For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had not one relief, but being oppressed in everything: battles outside, fears within.
6 Sed qui consolatur humiles, consolatus est nos Deus in adventu Titi.
Nevertheless God, who encourages the lowly, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
7 Non solum autem in adventu eius, sed etiam in consolatione, qua consolatus est in vobis, referens nobis vestrum desiderium, vestrum fletum, vestram æmulationem pro me, ita ut magis gauderem.
And not only by his presence, but also by the encouragement with which he was encouraged by you, reporting to us your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
8 Quoniam etsi contristavi vos in epistola, non me pœnitet: etsi pœniteret, videns quod epistola illa (etsi ad horam) vos contristavit;
Because even though I grieved you in the letter, I am not remorseful (even though I was remorseful), for I perceive that that letter grieved you, even though for an hour.
9 nunc gaudeo: non quia contristati estis, sed quia contristati estis ad pœnitentiam. Contristati enim estis ad Deum, ut in nullo detrimentum patiamini ex nobis.
Now I rejoice, not that ye were grieved, but that ye were grieved for repentance. For ye were grieved toward God, so that ye might suffer loss from us in nothing.
10 Quæ enim secundum Deum tristitia est, pœnitentiam in salutem stabilem operatur: sæculi autem tristitia mortem operatur.
For sorrow toward God works repentance for salvation without regret, but the sorrow of the world works death.
11 Ecce enim hoc ipsum, secundum Deum contristari vos, quantam in vobis operatur solicitudinem: sed defensionem, sed indignationem, sed timorem, sed desiderium, sed æmulationem, sed vindictam. In omnibus exhibuistis vos, incontaminatos esse negotio.
For behold this same thing-your grieving toward God. How much eagerness it worked in you, even a defense, even indignation, even fear, even longing, even zeal, even vengeance! In everything ye demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
12 Igitur, etsi scripsi vobis, non propter eum, qui fecit iniuriam, nec propter eum, qui passus est: sed ad manifestandam solicitudinem nostram, quam habemus pro vobis coram Deo:
And so then, although I wrote to you, it was not because of the man who did wrong, nor because of the man who was wronged, but in order to reveal to you your eagerness for us in the sight of God.
13 ideo consolati sumus. In consolatione autem nostra, abundantius magis gavisi sumus super gaudio Titi, quia refectus est spiritus eius ab omnibus vobis.
Because of this we have been encouraged. And from your encouragement, we rejoiced to a greater degree more at the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
14 Et si quid apud illum de vobis gloriatus sum, non sum confusus: sed sicut omnia vobis in veritate locuti sumus, ita et gloriatio nostra, quæ fuit ad Titum, veritas facta est,
Because, if I have boasted anything to him about you, I am not ashamed, but as we spoke all things in truth to you, so also our boast to Titus became truth.
15 et viscera eius abundantius in vobis sunt: reminiscentis omnium vestrum obedientiam: quomodo cum timore, et tremore excepistis illum.
And his bowels are more abundant toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how ye received him with fear and trembling.
16 Gaudeo quod in omnibus confido in vobis.
I rejoice that I have confidence in you in everything.
