2 كورنثوس 6

١ 1 فَبِمَا أَنَّنَا عَامِلُونَ مَعاً عِنْدَ اللهِ، نَطْلُبُ أَلاَّ يَكُونَ قَبُولُكُمْ لِنِعْمَةِ اللهِ عَبَثاً.

And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —

٢ 2 فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «فِي وَقْتِ الْقَبُولِ اسْتَجَبْتُ لَكَ، وَفِي يَوْمِ الْخَلاَصِ أَعَنْتُكَ». وَالآنَ هُوَ وَقْتُ الْقَبُولِ. الْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ الْخَلاَصِ!

for He saith, 'In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' —

٣ 3 وَلَسْنَا نَتَصَرَّفُ أَيَّ تَصَرُّفٍ يَكُونُ عَثْرَةً لأَحَدٍ، حَتَّى لاَ يَلْحَقَ الْخِدْمَةَ أَيُّ لَوْمٍ.

in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,

٤ 4 وَإِنَّمَا نَتَصَرَّفُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِمَا يُبَيِّنُ أَنَّنَا فِعْلاً خُدَّامُ اللهِ: فِي تَحَمُّلِ الْكَثِيرِ؛ فِي الشَّدَائِدِ وَالْحَاجَاتِ وَالضِّيقَاتِ وَالْجَلْدَاتِ

but in everything recommending ourselves as God's ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,

٥ 5 وَالسُّجُونِ وَالاضْطِرَابَاتِ وَالأَتْعَابِ وَالسَّهَرِ وَالصَّوْمِ؛

in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

٦ 6 فِي الطَّهَارَةِ وَالْمَعْرِفَةِ وَطُولِ الْبَالِ وَاللُّطْفِ؛ فِي الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ الْخَالِصَةِ مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ؛

in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

٧ 7 فِي كَلِمَةِ الْحَقِّ وَقُدْرَةِ اللهِ؛ بِأَسْلِحَةِ الْبِرِّ فِي الْهُجُومِ وَالدِّفَاعِ؛

in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,

٨ 8 بِالْكَرَامَةِ وَالْهَوَانِ؛ بِالصِّيتِ السَّيِّئِ وَالصِّيتِ الْحَسَنِ. نُعَامَلُ كَمُضَلِّلِينَ وَنَحْنُ صَادِقُونَ،

through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;

٩ 9 كَمَجْهُولِينَ وَنَحْنُ مَعْرُوفُونَ، كَمَائِتِينَ وَهَا نَحْنُ نَحْيَا، كَمُعَاقَبِينَ وَلاَ نُقْتَلُ،

as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;

١٠ 10 كَمَحْزُونِينَ وَنَحْنُ دَائِماً فَرِحُونَ، كَفُقَرَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُغْنِي كَثِيرِينَ، كَمَنْ لاَ شَيْءَ عِنْدَهُمْ وَنَحْنُ نَمْلِكُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

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

١١ 11 إِنَّنَا كَلَّمْنَاكُمْ، يَاأَهْلَ كُورِنْثُوسَ، بِصَرَاحَةِ فَمٍ وَرَحَابَةِ قَلْبٍ.

Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!

١٢ 12 إِنَّكُمْ مُتَضَايِقُونَ، لاَ بِسَبَبِنَا بَلْ بِسَبَبِ ضِيقِ عَوَاطِفِكُمْ

ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,

١٣ 13 وَلَكِنْ، عَلَى سَبِيلِ الْمُعَامَلَةِ بِالْمِثْلِ، وَأُخَاطِبُكُمْ كَأَوْلاَدٍ، لِتَكُنْ قُلُوبُكُمْ أَيْضاً رَحْبَةً!

and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it], ) be ye enlarged — also ye!

١٤ 14 لاَ تَدْخُلُوا مَعَ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تَحْتَ نِيرٍ وَاحِدٍ. فَأَيُّ ارْتِبَاطٍ بَيْنَ الْبِرِّ وَالإِثْمِ؟ وَأَيَّةُ شَرِكَةٍ بَيْنَ النُّورِ وَالظَّلاَمِ؟

Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?

١٥ 15 وَأَيُّ تَحَالُفٍ لِلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ إِبْلِيسَ؟ وَأَيُّ نَصِيبٍ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ مَعَ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ؟

and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?

١٦ 16 وَأَيُّ وِفَاقٍ لِهَيْكَلِ اللهِ مَعَ الأَصْنَامِ؟ فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ هَيْكَلُ اللهِ الْحَيِّ، وَفْقاً لِمَا قَالَهُ اللهُ: سَأَسْكُنُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، وَأَسِيرُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَأَكُونُ إِلهَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ شَعْباً لِي.

and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said — 'I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,

١٧ 17 لِذلِكَ اخْرُجُوا مِنْ وَسْطِهِمْ، وَكُونُوا مُنْفَصِلِينَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، وَلاَ تَلْمِسُوا مَا هُوَ نَجِسٌ،

wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I — I will receive you,

١٨ 18 فَأَقْبَلَكُمْ، وَأَكُونَ لَكُمْ أَباً، وَتَكُونُوا لِي بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ»، هَذَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

and I will be to you for a Father, and ye — ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'
