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 a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the good pleasure of God; and Timothy a brother; to the church of God that is at Corinth, and to all the saints that are in all Achaia.
2 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
Grace be with you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum, et Deus totius consolationis,
Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation;
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 comforteth us in all our afflictions, that we also might be able to comfort those who are in all afflictions, with the consolation wherewith we are comforted by God.
5 Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra.
For, as the sufferings of the Messiah abound in us, so also our consolation aboundeth by the Messiah.
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 for your life that we are afflicted; or whether we be comforted, it is, that ye may be comforted; and that there may be in you an eagerness, wherewith ye may endure those sufferings which we also suffer.
7 ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis.
And our hope concerning you is steadfast: for we know, that if ye partake of the sufferings, ye will also partake 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.
But, my brethren, we wish you to know, respecting the affliction that was upon us in Asia, that we were afflicted exceedingly, beyond our strength, insomuch that our life was ready to terminate.
9 Sed ipsi in nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes in nobis, sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:
And we passed a sentence of death upon ourselves, that our confidence might not be in ourselves, but in God, who raiseth up the dead;
10 qui de tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit: in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet,
who rescued us from imminent death: and we hope that he will again rescue 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.
by the aid of your prayers in our behalf; so that his gift to us may be a favor done for the sake of many, and many may praise him on our account.
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 purity, and by the grace of God, and not in the wisdom of the flesh, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially towards you.
13 Non enim alia scribimus vobis, quam quæ legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,
We write no other things unto you, than those which ye know and acknowledge. And I trust, ye will acknowledge them 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 ye have also partially acknowledged that we are your rejoicing, as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
15 Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundum gratiam haberetis:
And in this confidence, I was before disposed to come to you, that ye might receive the grace doubly;
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 again to come to you from Macedonia, and so ye would accompany me to Judaea.
17 Cum ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum? Aut quæ cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me EST, et NON?
When therefore I thus purposed, did I purpose as one inconsiderate? Or, were the things I purposed, things of the flesh; so that there should be in them Yes, yes, and No, no?
18 Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fuit apud vos, non est in illo EST, et NON.
God is the witness, that our word to 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 the Messiah, who was preached to you by us, namely, by me, by Sylvanus, and by Timotheus, was not Yes and No; but it was Yes in him.
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, the Messiah, are Yes; for which cause, we through him give our Amen, to the glory of God.
21 Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus:
Now it is God who establisheth us, with you, in the Messiah, and hath anointed us,
22 qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris.
and hath sealed us, and hath given the earnest of his 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 witness on my soul, that it was in order to spare you, that I came not to Corinth.
24 non quia dominamur fidei vestæ, sed adiutores sumus gaudii vestri: nam fide statis.
Not that we are lords over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy; for it is by faith ye stand.
