Corinthios Ii 7
1 Has ergo habentes promissiones, charissimi, mundemus nos ab omni inquinamento carnis, et spiritus perficientes sanctificationem in timore Dei.
Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;
2 Capite nos. Neminem laesimus, neminem corrupimus, neminem circumvenimus.
receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we waste; no one did we defraud;
3 Non ad condemnationem vestram dico. praediximus enim quod in cordibus nostris estis ad commoriendum, et ad convivendum.
not to condemn you do I say [it], for I have said before that in our hearts ye are to die with and to live with;
4 Multa mihi fiducia est apud vos, multa mihi gloriatio pro vobis, repletus sum consolatione, superabundo gaudio in omni tribulatione vestra.
great [is] my freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound with the joy on all our tribulation,
5 Nam et cum venissemus in Macedoniam, nullam requiem habuit caro nostra, sed omnem tribulationem passi sumus: foris pugnae, intus timores.
for also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without [are] fightings, within — fears;
6 Sed qui consolatur humiles, consolatus est nos Deus in adventu Titi.
but He who is comforting the cast-down — God — He did comfort us in the presence 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 aemulationem pro me, ita ut magis gauderem.
and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice,
8 Quoniam etsi contristavi vos in epistola, non me poenitet: etsi poeniteret, videns quod epistola illa (etsi ad horam) vos contristavit;
because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent — if even I did repent — for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry.
9 nunc gaudeo: non quia contristati estis, sed quia contristati estis ad poenitentiam. Contristati enim estis ad Deum, ut in nullo detrimentum patiamini ex nobis.
I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us;
10 Quae enim secundum Deum tristitia est, poenitentiam in salutem stabilem operatur: saeculi autem tristitia mortem operatur.
for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,
11 Ecce enim hoc ipsum, secundum Deum contristari vos, quantam in vobis operatur solicitudinem: sed defensionem, sed indignationem, sed timorem, sed desiderium, sed aemulationem, sed vindictam. in omnibus exhibuistis vos, incontaminatos esse negotio.
for, lo, this same thing — your being made sorry toward God — how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve 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
If, then, I also wrote to you — not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God —
13 coram Deo: 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 comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from 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, quae fuit ad Titum, veritas facta est,
because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,
15 et viscera eius abundantius in vobis sunt: reminiscentis omnium vestrum obedientiam: quomodo cum timore, et tremore excepistis illum.
and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him;
16 Gaudeo quod in omnibus confido in vobis.
I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.
