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:

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth, with all the holy who are in all Achaia:

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

Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Fathers and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and 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 comforteth us in all our distress, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any distress by the comfort wherewith we are ourselves comforted by God;

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

for as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so through Christ doth our comfort also overflow.

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

And whether we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation, which showeth its power in enabling you to bear patiently the same sufferings which we also endure; and our hope is steadfast in your behalf; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort and salvation,

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

knowing that as ye are sharers in the sufferings, so also ye will be sharers in the 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،

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our distress which came upon us in Asia, that it was exceedingly heavy upon us beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;

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

yea, we ourselves had within ourselves the sentence of death, that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead;

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

who delivered us from such peril of death, and is delivering; in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us,

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

you also unitedly helping us by prayer, so that for this blessing bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many on your behalf.

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 our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and the sincerity which is of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

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

For we write no other things to you, than what ye read or even acknowledge. And I trust ye will acknowledge even to the end,

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

as also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your glorying, as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

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

And in this confidence it was my purpose to come to you before, that ye might receive a second benefit;

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

and to go by way of you into Macedonia, and from Macedonia to come again to you, and by you to be forwarded on my way to Judaea.

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

Having, then, this purpose, did I act with levity? Or in my purposes do I resolve according to the flesh, that with me there should be now yea, yea, and now nay, nay?

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

But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yea and nay.

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 the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us, by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not found yea and nay, but in him hath been found yea.

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

For as to all the promises of God, in him is yea, and in him amen, to the glory of God through us.

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

Now he who maketh us with you steadfast in Christ, and anointed us, is God;

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

he who also sealed us, and gave the Spirit as a pledge in our hearts.

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

But I call upon God as a witness against my soul, that it was to spare you that I came no more to Corinth;

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

not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy. For in respect to faith ye stand firm.
