٢ كورنثوس 6

١ 1 فَإِذْ نَحْنُ عَامِلُونَ مَعَهُ نَطْلُبُ أَنْ لَا تَقْبَلُوا نِعْمَةَ ٱللهِ بَاطِلًا.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that you receive not the grace of God in vain.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «فِي وَقْتٍ مَقْبُولٍ سَمِعْتُكَ، وَفِي يَوْمِ خَلَاصٍ أَعَنْتُكَ». هُوَذَا ٱلْآنَ وَقْتٌ مَقْبُولٌ. هُوَذَا ٱلْآنَ يَوْمُ خَلَاصٍ.

(For he says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

٣ 3 وَلَسْنَا نَجْعَلُ عَثْرَةً فِي شَيْءٍ لِئَلَّا تُلَامَ ٱلْخِدْمَةُ.

Giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

٤ 4 بَلْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ نُظْهِرُ أَنْفُسَنَا كَخُدَّامِ ٱللهِ، فِي صَبْرٍ كَثِيرٍ: فِي شَدَائِدَ، فِي ضَرُورَاتٍ، فِي ضِيقَاتٍ،

But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

٥ 5 فِي ضَرَبَاتٍ، فِي سُجُونٍ، فِي ٱضْطِرَابَاتٍ، فِي أَتْعَابٍ، فِي أَسْهَارٍ، فِي أَصْوَامٍ،

In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

٦ 6 فِي طَهَارَةٍ، فِي عِلْمٍ، فِي أَنَاةٍ، فِي لُطْفٍ، فِي ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، فِي مَحَبَّةٍ بِلَا رِيَاءٍ،

By pureness, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

٧ 7 فِي كَلَامِ ٱلْحَقِّ، فِي قُوَّةِ ٱللهِ بِسِلَاحِ ٱلْبِرِّ لِلْيَمِينِ وَلِلْيَسَارِ.

By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

٨ 8 بِمَجْدٍ وَهَوَانٍ، بِصِيتٍ رَدِيءٍ وَصِيتٍ حَسَنٍ. كَمُضِلِّينَ وَنَحْنُ صَادِقُونَ،

By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;

٩ 9 كَمَجْهُولِينَ وَنَحْنُ مَعْرُوفُونَ، كَمَائِتِينَ وَهَا نَحْنُ نَحْيَا، كَمُؤَدَّبِينَ وَنَحْنُ غَيْرُ مَقْتُولِينَ،

As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

١٠ 10 كَحَزَانَى وَنَحْنُ دَائِمًا فَرِحُونَ، كَفُقَرَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُغْنِي كَثِيرِينَ، كَأَنْ لَا شَيْءَ لَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَمْلِكُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

١١ 11 فَمُنَا مَفْتُوحٌ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْكُورِنْثِيُّونَ. قَلْبُنَا مُتَّسِعٌ.

O you Corinthians, our mouth is open to you, our heart is enlarged.

١٢ 12 لَسْتُمْ مُتَضَيِّقِينَ فِينَا بَلْ مُتَضَيِّقِينَ فِي أَحْشَائِكُمْ.

You are not straitened in us, but you are straitened in your own bowels.

١٣ 13 فَجَزَاءً لِذَلِكَ أَقُولُ كَمَا لِأَوْلَادِي: كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مُتَّسِعِينَ!

Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as to my children, ) be you also enlarged.

١٤ 14 لَا تَكُونُوا تَحْتَ نِيرٍ مَعَ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لِأَنَّهُ أَيَّةُ خُلْطَةٍ لِلْبِرِّ وَٱلْإِثْمِ؟ وَأَيَّةُ شَرِكَةٍ لِلنُّورِ مَعَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ؟

Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?

١٥ 15 وَأَيُّ ٱتِّفَاقٍ لِلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ بَلِيعَالَ؟ وَأَيُّ نَصِيبٍ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ مَعَ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ؟

And what concord has Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believes with an infidel?

١٦ 16 وَأَيَّةُ مُوَافَقَةٍ لِهَيْكَلِ ٱللهِ مَعَ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ؟ فَإِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ هَيْكَلُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ، كَمَا قَالَ ٱللهُ: «إِنِّي سَأَسْكُنُ فِيهِمْ وَأَسِيرُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا.

And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

١٧ 17 لِذَلِكَ ٱخْرُجُوا مِنْ وَسْطِهِمْ وَٱعْتَزِلُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَلَا تَمَسُّوا نَجِسًا فَأَقْبَلَكُمْ،

Why come out from among them, and be you separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

١٨ 18 وَأَكُونَ لَكُمْ أَبًا، وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ لِي بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ».

And will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
