2 Corinthians 2
1 But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲡⲏ.
2 For if I make you grieve, then who will make me glad but he who is made to grieve by me?
ⲃ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲩⲫⲣⲁⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ.
3 And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be shared by all of you.
ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲉϩⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲧⲁⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲏⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲡⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made to grieve, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
ⲇ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲱϫϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲉⲓⲏ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
5 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
ⲉ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲡⲟⲙⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲡⲓⲃⲁⲣⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ̅.
6 This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;
ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲓⲁ ϭⲉ ⲣⲱϣⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ.
7 so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
ⲍ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ̅. ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟⲩⲉⲗⲩⲡⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲱⲙⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ·
8 Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.
ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲙⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ.
10 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϯⲕⲱ ϩⲱ. ⲕⲁⲓⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲣⲱⲱⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲃϣ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ·
12 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲁⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ.
14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϣⲏⲡ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϫⲁⲓ̈ⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ.
15 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God in those who are saved and in those who perish:
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛⲟⲩⲥϯⲛⲟⲩϥⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
16 to the one a stench from death to death, to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲡⲱⲛϩ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁ.
17 For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲟ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲛⲉϣⲱⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲟ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
