Corinthios Ii 1
1 Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Timotheus frater, Ecclesiae Dei, quae est Corinthi cum omnibus sanctis, qui sunt in universa Achaia.
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum, et Deus totius consolationis,
Praise be to the God and 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 gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra.
For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.
6 Sive autem tribulamur pro vestra salute, sive consolamur pro vestra consolatione, sive exhortamur pro vestra exhortatione, quae operatur tolerantiam earundem passionum, quas et nos patimur:
But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:
7 ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis.
And our hope for you is certain; in the knowledge that as you take part in the troubles, so you will take part in the comfort.
8 Non enim volumus ignorare vos fratres de tribulatione nostra, quae facta est in Asia, quoniam supra modum gravati sumus supra virtutem, ita ut taederet nos etiam vivere.
For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:
9 Sed ipsi in nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes in nobis, sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:
Yes, we ourselves have had the answer of death in ourselves, so that our hope might not be in ourselves, but in God who is able to give life to the dead:
10 qui de tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit: in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet,
Who gave us salvation from so great a death: on whom we have put our hope that he will still go on to give us salvation;
11 adiuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis: ut ex multarum personis facierum eius quae in nobis est donationis, per multos gratiae agantur pro nobis.
You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.
12 Nam gloria nostra haec est, testimonium conscientiae nostrae, 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 glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.
13 Non enim alia scribimus vobis, quam quae legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,
For in our letters we say no other things to you, but those which you are reading, and to which you give agreement, and, it is my hope, will go on doing so to the end:
14 sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quod gloria vestra sumus, sicut et vos nostra, in die Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundum gratiam haberetis:
And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;
16 et per vos transire in Macedoniam, et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos, et a vobis deduci in Iudaeam.
And by way of Corinth to go into Macedonia, and from there to come back again to you, so that you might send me on my way to Judaea.
17 Cum ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum? Aut quae cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me EST, et NON?
If then I had such a purpose, did I seem to be changing suddenly? or am I guided in my purposes by the flesh, saying, Yes, today, and, No, tomorrow?
18 Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fuit apud vos, non est in illo EST, et NON sed est in illo EST.
As God is true, our word to you is not Yes and No.
19 Dei enim filius Iesus Christus, qui in vobis per nos praedicatus est, per me, et Silvanum, et Timotheum, non fuit in illo EST et NON, sed EST in illo fuit.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we were preaching among you, even I and Silvanus and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in him is Yes.
20 Quotquot enim promissiones Dei sunt, in illo EST: ideo et per ipsum Amen Deo ad gloriam nostram.
For he is the Yes to all the undertakings of God: and by him all the words of God are made certain and put into effect, to the glory of God through us.
21 Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus:
Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;
22 qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris.
And it is he who has put his stamp on us, even the Spirit, as the sign in our hearts of the coming glory.
23 Ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam, quod parcens vobis, non veni ultra Corinthum:
But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.
24 non quia dominamur fidei vestae, sed adiutores sumus gaudii vestri: nam fide statis.
Not that we have authority over your faith, but we are helpers of your joy: for it is faith which is your support.
