٢ كورنثوس 1

١ 1 بُولُسُ، رَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِمَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ، وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ ٱلْأَخُ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي فِي كُورِنْثُوسَ، مَعَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ أَجْمَعِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَخَائِيَةَ:

To the Church of God which is in Corinth, and to all the saints throughout Greece. from Paul, by God’s will an apostle of Christ, and from brother Timothy.

٢ 2 نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ.

٣ 3 مُبَارَكٌ ٱللهُ أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَبُو ٱلرَّأْفَةِ وَإِلَهُ كُلِّ تَعْزِيَةٍ،

Thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,

٤ 4 ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّينَا فِي كُلِّ ضِيقَتِنَا، حَتَّى نَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ نُعَزِّيَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي كُلِّ ضِيقَةٍ بِٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي نَتَعَزَّى نَحْنُ بِهَا مِنَ ٱللهِ.

who ever comforts me in all my troubles, so that I may be continually able to comfort those who are in any trouble by the comfort with which God is ever comforting me.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا تَكْثُرُ آلَامُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِينَا، كَذَلِكَ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ تَكْثُرُ تَعْزِيَتُنَا أَيْضًا.

For just as I have more than my share in the sufferings of the Christ, so also through the Christ I have more than my share of comfort.

٦ 6 فَإِنْ كُنَّا نَتَضَايَقُ فَلِأَجْلِ تَعْزِيَتِكُمْ وَخَلَاصِكُمُ، ٱلْعَامِلِ فِي ٱحْتِمَالِ نَفْسِ ٱلْآلَامِ ٱلَّتِي نَتَأَلَّمُ بِهَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا. أَوْ نَتَعَزَّى فَلِأَجْلِ تَعْزِيَتِكُمْ وَخَلَاصِكُمْ.

If I am afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if I am receiving comfort, it is for your comfort - a comfort produced within you by your patient fortitude, under the same sufferings which I also am enduring.

٧ 7 فَرَجَاؤُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ ثَابِتٌ. عَالِمِينَ أَنَّكُمْ كَمَا أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فِي ٱلْآلَامِ، كَذَلِكَ فِي ٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ أَيْضًا.

My hope for you is firm; for I know that as you are comrades in my sufferings, so also are you comrades in my comfort.

٨ 8 فَإِنَّنَا لَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ضِيقَتِنَا ٱلَّتِي أَصَابَتْنَا فِي أَسِيَّا، أَنَّنَا تَثَقَّلْنَا جِدًّا فَوْقَ ٱلطَّاقَةِ، حَتَّى أَيِسْنَا مِنَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ أَيْضًا،

Now, brothers, I want you to know about the troubles which befell me in Asia; how I was burdened altogether beyond my strength, so that I renounced all hope even of life itself.

٩ 9 لَكِنْ كَانَ لَنَا فِي أَنْفُسِنَا حُكْمُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، لِكَيْ لَا نَكُونَ مُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا بَلْ عَلَى ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يُقِيمُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتَ،

Indeed, I had in myself, and still have, the sentence of death, in order that I might not rely on myself, but on God who raises the dead to life.

١٠ 10 ٱلَّذِي نَجَّانَا مِنْ مَوْتٍ مِثْلِ هَذَا، وَهُوَ يُنَجِّي. ٱلَّذِي لَنَا رَجَاءٌ فِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَيُنَجِّي أَيْضًا فِيمَا بَعْدُ.

He delivered me from such a death, and will deliver me. On him I have set my hopes that he will continue to deliver me,

١١ 11 وَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مُسَاعِدُونَ بِٱلصَّلَاةِ لِأَجْلِنَا، لِكَيْ يُؤَدَّى شُكْرٌ لِأَجْلِنَا مِنْ أَشْخَاصٍ كَثِيرِينَ، عَلَى مَا وُهِبَ لَنَا بِوَاسِطَةِ كَثِيرِينَ.

while all of you also are helping me by your prayers; so that from many lips thanksgiving may rise on my behalf for the blessings vouchsafed to me through the intercessions of many.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّ فَخْرَنَا هُوَ هَذَا: شَهَادَةُ ضَمِيرِنَا أَنَّنَا فِي بَسَاطَةٍ وَإِخْلَاصِ ٱللهِ، لَا فِي حِكْمَةٍ جَسَدِيَّةٍ بَلْ فِي نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ، تَصَرَّفْنَا فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَلَا سِيَّمَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ.

For this is my proud boast, the testimony of my conscience, that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God, that I have conducted myself in the world, and above all in my relations with you.

١٣ 13 فَإِنَّنَا لَا نَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ آخَرَ سِوَى مَا تَقْرَأُونَ أَوْ تَعْرِفُونَ. وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنَّكُمْ سَتَعْرِفُونَ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ أَيْضًا،

For I am writing to you nothing different from what you read aloud and very well recognize, and I hope will continue to recognize to the very end,

١٤ 14 كَمَا عَرَفْتُمُونَا أَيْضًا بَعْضَ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ، أَنَّنَا فَخْرُكُمْ، كَمَا أَنَّكُمْ أَيْضًا فَخْرُنَا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.

as some indeed did recognize in part at last, that I am your cause of boasting, just as you will be mine on the Day of Jesus our Lord.

١٥ 15 وَبِهَذِهِ ٱلثِّقَةِ كُنْتُ أَشَاءُ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَوَّلًا، لِتَكُونَ لَكُمْ نِعْمَةٌ ثَانِيَةٌ.

And in this confidence I intended to visit you, before going elsewhere, that you might have a pleasure twice over.

١٦ 16 وَأَنْ أَمُرَّ بِكُمْ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ، وَآتِيَ أَيْضًا مِنْ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَأُشَيَّعَ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ.

I intended to go by you into Macedonia, and to come again to you from Macedonia, and by you to be sent forward on my way to Judea.

١٧ 17 فَإِذْ أَنَا عَازِمٌ عَلَى هَذَا، أَلَعَلِّي ٱسْتَعْمَلْتُ ٱلْخِفَّةَ؟ أَمْ أَعْزِمُ عَلَى مَا أَعْزِمُ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، كَيْ يَكُونَ عِنْدِي نَعَمْ نَعَمْ وَلَا لَا؟

In purposing this did I display "caprice"? Or what I purpose do I purpose in a worldly way, so that it may mean either "Yes, yes," or "No, no"?

١٨ 18 لَكِنْ أَمِينٌ هُوَ ٱللهُ إِنَّ كَلَامَنَا لَكُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَعَمْ وَلَا.

As God is faithful, my message to you is not now "Yes," now "No."

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، ٱلَّذِي كُرِزَ بِهِ بَيْنَكُمْ بِوَاسِطَتِنَا، أَنَا وَسِلْوَانُسَ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسَ، لَمْ يَكُنْ نَعَمْ وَلَا، بَلْ قَدْ كَانَ فِيهِ نَعَمْ.

For Jesus Christ, Son of God, who was proclaimed among you by us, that is, by Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not wavering between "Yes" and "No," but in him is the everlasting "Yes."

٢٠ 20 لِأَنْ مَهْمَا كَانَتْ مَوَاعِيدُ ٱللهِ فَهُوَ فِيهِ «ٱلنَّعَمْ» وَفِيهِ «ٱلْآمِينُ»، لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ، بِوَاسِطَتِنَا.

For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him let the Amen be said by our voices to the glory of God.

٢١ 21 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يُثَبِّتُنَا مَعَكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَقَدْ مَسَحَنَا، هُوَ ٱللهُ

And he who has established me with you in the Anointed One, and has anointed me, is God.

٢٢ 22 ٱلَّذِي خَتَمَنَا أَيْضًا، وَأَعْطَى عَرْبُونَ ٱلرُّوحِ فِي قُلُوبِنَا.

He has also set his seal upon me, and given me the pledge of his Spirit in my heart.

٢٣ 23 وَلَكِنِّي أَسْتَشْهِدُ ٱللهَ عَلَى نَفْسِي، أَنِّي إِشْفَاقًا عَلَيْكُمْ لَمْ آتِ إِلَى كُورِنْثُوسَ.

But for my part I call God to witness, as my soul shall answer for it, that it was to spare you that I came not to Corinth

٢٤ 24 لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا نَسُودُ عَلَى إِيمَانِكُمْ، بَلْ نَحْنُ مُوازِرُونَ لِسُرُورِكُمْ. لِأَنَّكُمْ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ تَثْبُتُونَ.

(not that I am attempting to lord it over your faith, but rather to work with you for your happiness); for your faith is stedfast.
