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 Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, and all the saints that are in Achaia:

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

grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all consolation; who comforteth us in all our affliction,

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

that we may be able to comfort those, that are in any trouble, by the consolation wherewith we ourselves are comforted by God.

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

For as the sufferings for the sake of Christ abound on us, so our consolation by Christ doth also abound.

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 be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is wrought out by the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or if we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

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

And our hope is firm concerning you, knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the consolation.

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 have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befel us in Asia, that we were exceedingly pressed above 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،

but we had the sentence of death within ourselves, 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 so great a death, and doth deliver, 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 assisting by prayer for us, that the favor obtained for us by the prayers of many might be thankfully acknowledged by many on our account.

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 our rejoicing, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and pious sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and especially towards 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, but what ye own and acknowledge, and I hope ye will always acknowledge.

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

As ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, 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 I had a mind to come to you first, (that ye might have a second benefit, ) and to pass by you into Macedonia;

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

and then to come to you again from Macedonia, and by you to be forwarded 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؟

Now when I intended this, was I chargeable with levity? or what I purpose, do I purpose from carnal motives, that with me there should be yea, yea, and then no, no?

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

But the faithful God, He knows, that our word to you was not yes and 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 the Son of God, who was preached among you by us, even by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, was not yea and nay,

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

but was yea in Him, (for all the promises of God are in Him yea, and in Him amen, ) to the glory of God by us:

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

but He that establisheth us as well as you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; who hath also sealed us,

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

and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

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

But I call God to witness on my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet to Corinth:

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

not that we are lords over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
