٢ كورنثوس 4
| مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ، إِذْ لَنَا هَذِهِ ٱلْخِدْمَةُ -كَمَا رُحِمْنَا- لَا نَفْشَلُ، | ١ 1 |
So then, as I have this ministry because of God’s mercy to me, I do not lose heart.
| بَلْ قَدْ رَفَضْنَا خَفَايَا ٱلْخِزْيِ، غَيْرَ سَالِكِينَ فِي مَكْرٍ، وَلَا غَاشِّينَ كَلِمَةَ ٱللهِ، بَلْ بِإِظْهَارِ ٱلْحَقِّ، مَادِحِينَ أَنْفُسَنَا لَدَى ضَمِيرِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ. | ٢ 2 |
I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every man’s conscience as in the sight of God.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ إِنْجِيلُنَا مَكْتُومًا، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَكْتُومٌ فِي ٱلْهَالِكِينَ، | ٣ 3 |
But even if my gospel, too, is "veiled," it is among those who are on the way to perish that it is "veiled."
| ٱلَّذِينَ فِيهِمْ إِلَهُ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ قَدْ أَعْمَى أَذْهَانَ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لِئَلَّا تُضِيءَ لَهُمْ إِنَارَةُ إِنْجِيلِ مَجْدِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ صُورَةُ ٱللهِ. (aiōn g165) | ٤ 4 |
Among them the god of this age has blinded the understanding of the unbelieving so that the sunshine of the gospel of God, should not dawn upon them. (aiōn g165)
| فَإِنَّنَا لَسْنَا نَكْرِزُ بِأَنْفُسِنَا، بَلْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبًّا، وَلَكِنْ بِأَنْفُسِنَا عَبِيدًا لَكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ يَسُوعَ. | ٥ 5 |
It is not myself that I proclaim, but Christ Jesus as Master, and myself that I proclaim, and myself your slave for Jesus’ sake.
| لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ: «أَنْ يُشْرِقَ نُورٌ مِنْ ظُلْمَةٍ»، هُوَ ٱلَّذِي أَشْرَقَ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، لِإِنَارَةِ مَعْرِفَةِ مَجْدِ ٱللهِ فِي وَجْهِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. | ٦ 6 |
For God who said, "Out of darkness light shall shine," is he who has shone in my heart, that the sunrise of the knowledge of God may shine forth in the face of Christ.
| وَلَكِنْ لَنَا هَذَا ٱلْكَنْزُ فِي أَوَانٍ خَزَفِيَّةٍ، لِيَكُونَ فَضْلُ ٱلْقُوَّةِ لِلهِ لَا مِنَّا. | ٧ 7 |
But I hold this treasure in an earthen vessel, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God, and not from myself.
| مُكْتَئِبِينَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، لَكِنْ غَيْرَ مُتَضَايِقِينَ. مُتَحَيِّرِينَ، لَكِنْ غَيْرَ يَائِسِينَ. | ٨ 8 |
On every side I am hard pressed, yet not hemmed in; perplexed, but not in despair;
| مُضْطَهَدِينَ، لَكِنْ غَيْرَ مَتْرُوكِينَ. مَطْرُوحِينَ، لَكِنْ غَيْرَ هَالِكِينَ. | ٩ 9 |
persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
| حَامِلِينَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ كُلَّ حِينٍ إِمَاتَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، لِكَيْ تُظْهَرَ حَيَاةُ يَسُوعَ أَيْضًا فِي جَسَدِنَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Wherever I go, I am always carrying about in my body the dying of Jesus, in order that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in this body of mine.
| لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْأَحْيَاءَ نُسَلَّمُ دَائِمًا لِلْمَوْتِ مِنْ أَجْلِ يَسُوعَ، لِكَيْ تَظْهَرَ حَيَاةُ يَسُوعَ أَيْضًا فِي جَسَدِنَا ٱلْمَائِتِ. | ١١ 11 |
For, alive though I am, I am always given over to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may shine forth in my dying flesh.
| إِذًا ٱلْمَوْتُ يَعْمَلُ فِينَا، وَلَكِنِ ٱلْحَيَاةُ فِيكُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
So while death is working in me, life is working in you.
| فَإِذْ لَنَا رُوحُ ٱلْإِيمَانِ عَيْنُهُ، حَسَبَ ٱلْمَكْتُوبِ: «آمَنْتُ لِذَلِكَ تَكَلَّمْتُ»، نَحْنُ أَيْضًا نُؤْمِنُ وَلِذَلِكَ نَتَكَلَّمُ أَيْضًا. | ١٣ 13 |
But having the same spirit of faith of which it is written, I believed, and therefore have spoken, I also believe and so I speak.
| عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَ ٱلرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ سَيُقِيمُنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا بِيَسُوعَ، وَيُحْضِرُنَا مَعَكُمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
For I know that He who raised from the dead the Lord Jesus, will raise me also with Jesus, and set me at your side in his presence.
| لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ هِيَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ وَهِيَ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ بِٱلْأَكْثَرِينَ، تَزِيدُ ٱلشُّكْرَ لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
For everything is for your sakes, so that more abundant grace, because of the thanksgiving of many voices, might overflow to the glory of God.
| لِذَلِكَ لَا نَفْشَلُ، بَلْ وَإِنْ كَانَ إِنْسَانُنَا ٱلْخَارِجُ يَفْنَى، فَٱلدَّاخِلُ يَتَجَدَّدُ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا. | ١٦ 16 |
For this reason, as I have said, I do not lose courage, but even though my outward man is wasting away, my inward man is being renewed, day by day.
| لِأَنَّ خِفَّةَ ضِيقَتِنَا ٱلْوَقْتِيَّةَ تُنْشِئُ لَنَا أَكْثَرَ فَأَكْثَرَ ثِقَلَ مَجْدٍ أَبَدِيًّا. (aiōnios g166) | ١٧ 17 |
For my light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working out for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, (aiōnios g166)
| وَنَحْنُ غَيْرُ نَاظِرِينَ إِلَى ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ ٱلَّتِي تُرَى، بَلْ إِلَى ٱلَّتِي لَا تُرَى. لِأَنَّ ٱلَّتِي تُرَى وَقْتِيَّةٌ، وَأَمَّا ٱلَّتِي لَا تُرَى فَأَبَدِيَّةٌ. (aiōnios g166) | ١٨ 18 |
while I am gazing not at things seen, but at things unseen; for things seen are temporal, but things unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
