Corinthios Ii 1
1 Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Timotheus frater, Ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi cum omnibus sanctis, qui sunt in universa Achaia.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum, et Deus totius consolationis,
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 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.
Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.
6 Sive autem tribulamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, sive consolamur pro vestra consolatione, sive exhortamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, quæ operatur tolerantiam earundem passionum, quas et nos patimur:
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7 ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis.
And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation.
8 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.
For we would not, brothers, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life:
9 Sed ipsi in nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes in nobis, sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead:
10 qui de tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit: in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet,
Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 adiuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis: ut ex multorum personis, eius quæ in nobis est donationis, per multos gratiæ agantur pro nobis.
You also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed on us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
12 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.
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13 Non enim alia scribimus vobis, quam quæ legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,
For we write none other things to you, than what you read or acknowledge; and I trust you shall acknowledge even to the end;
14 sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quod gloria vestra sumus, sicut et vos nostra, in die Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
As also you have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as you also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundum gratiam haberetis:
And in this confidence I was minded to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit;
16 et per vos transire in Macedoniam, et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos, et a vobis deduci in Iudæam.
And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia to you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
17 Cum ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum? Aut quæ cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me EST, et NON?
When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yes yes, and no no?
18 Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fuit apud vos, non est in illo EST, et NON.
But as God is true, our word toward you was not yes and no.
19 Dei enim filius Iesus Christus, qui in vobis per nos prædicatus est, per me, et Silvanum, et Timotheum, non fuit EST et NON, sed EST in illo fuit.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yes and no, but in him was yes.
20 Quotquot enim promissiones Dei sunt, in illo EST: ideo et per ipsum Amen Deo ad gloriam nostram.
For all the promises of God in him are yes, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.
21 Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus:
Now he which establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;
22 qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris.
Who has also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam, quod parcens vobis, non veni ultra Corinthum:
Moreover I call God for a record on my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet to Corinth.
24 non quia dominamur fidei vestæ, sed adiutores sumus gaudii vestri: nam fide statis.
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith you stand.
