٢ كورنثوس 2

١ 1 وَلَكِنِّي جَزَمْتُ بِهَذَا فِي نَفْسِي أَنْ لَا آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْضًا فِي حُزْنٍ.

So I decided for my own part that I would not again come to you in painful circumstances.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ أُحْزِنُكُمْ أَنَا، فَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُفَرِّحُنِي إِلَّا ٱلَّذِي أَحْزَنْتُهُ؟

If I caused you pain, who could cheer me up but the very one who was hurt by me?

٣ 3 وَكَتَبْتُ لَكُمْ هَذَا عَيْنَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ لَا يَكُونُ لِي حُزْنٌ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ أَفْرَحَ بِهِمْ، وَاثِقًا بِجَمِيعِكُمْ أَنَّ فَرَحِي هُوَ فَرَحُ جَمِيعِكُمْ.

I wrote as I did in order that when I came to you I might not be hurt by those who should have made me rejoice. I have confidence about all of you that my joy is the same joy you all have.

٤ 4 لِأَنِّي مِنْ حُزْنٍ كَثِيرٍ وَكَآبَةِ قَلْبٍ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِدُمُوعٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، لَا لِكَيْ تَحْزَنُوا، بَلْ لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدِي وَلَا سِيَّمَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ.

For I wrote to you from great affliction, with anguish of heart, and with many tears. I did not want to cause you pain. Instead, I wanted you to know the depth of the love that I have for you.

٥ 5 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ قَدْ أَحْزَنَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُحْزِنِّي، بَلْ أَحْزَنَ جَمِيعَكُمْ بَعْضَ ٱلْحُزْنِ لِكَيْ لَا أُثَقِّلَ.

If anyone has caused pain, he has not caused it only to me, but in some measure—not to put it too harshly—to all of you.

٦ 6 مِثْلُ هَذَا يَكْفِيهِ هَذَا ٱلْقِصَاصُ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلْأَكْثَرِينَ،

This punishment of that person by the majority is enough.

٧ 7 حَتَّى تَكُونُوا - بِٱلْعَكْسِ - تُسَامِحُونَهُ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ وَتُعَزُّونَهُ، لِئَلَّا يُبْتَلَعَ مِثْلُ هَذَا مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ ٱلْمُفْرِطِ.

So now rather than punishment, you should forgive and comfort him. Do this so that he is not overwhelmed by too much sorrow.

٨ 8 لِذَلِكَ أَطْلُبُ أَنْ تُمَكِّنُوا لَهُ ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ.

So I encourage you to publicly affirm your love for him.

٩ 9 لِأَنِّي لِهَذَا كَتَبْتُ لِكَيْ أَعْرِفَ تَزْكِيَتَكُمْ: هَلْ أَنْتُمْ طَائِعُونَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ؟

This was the reason I wrote, so that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.

١٠ 10 وَٱلَّذِي تُسَامِحُونَهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَنَا أَيْضًا. لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَا سَامَحْتُ بِهِ - إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ سَامَحْتُ بِشَيْءٍ - فَمِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ بِحَضْرَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

If you forgive anyone, I forgive that person as well. What I have forgiven—if I have forgiven anything—it is forgiven for your sake in the presence of Christ.

١١ 11 لِئَلَّا يَطْمَعَ فِينَا ٱلشَّيْطَانُ، لِأَنَّنَا لَا نَجْهَلُ أَفْكَارَهُ.

This is so that Satan will not trick us. For we are not ignorant of his plans.

١٢ 12 وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا جِئْتُ إِلَى تَرُوَاسَ، لِأَجْلِ إِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَٱنْفَتَحَ لِي بَابٌ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ،

A door was opened to me by the Lord when I came to the city of Troas to preach the gospel of Christ there.

١٣ 13 لَمْ تَكُنْ لِي رَاحَةٌ فِي رُوحِي، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ تِيطُسَ أَخِي. لَكِنْ وَدَّعْتُهُمْ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ.

I had no relief in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I left them and went on to Macedonia.

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنْ شُكْرًا لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي يَقُودُنَا فِي مَوْكِبِ نُصْرَتِهِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، وَيُظْهِرُ بِنَا رَائِحَةَ مَعْرِفَتِهِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ.

But may thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph. Through us he spreads the sweet aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّنَا رَائِحَةُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلذَّكِيَّةُ لِلهِ، فِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ وَفِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَهْلِكُونَ.

For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ, both among those who are saved and among those who are perishing.

١٦ 16 لِهَؤُلَاءِ رَائِحَةُ مَوْتٍ لِمَوْتٍ، وَلِأُولَئِكَ رَائِحَةُ حَيَاةٍ لِحَيَاةٍ. وَمَنْ هُوَ كُفْوءٌ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ؟

To the people who are perishing, it is an aroma from death to death. To the ones being saved, it is an aroma from life to life. Who is worthy of these things?

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّنَا لَسْنَا كَٱلْكَثِيرِينَ غَاشِّينَ كَلِمَةَ ٱللهِ، لَكِنْ كَمَا مِنْ إِخْلَاصٍ، بَلْ كَمَا مِنَ ٱللهِ نَتَكَلَّمُ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

For we are not like so many people who sell the word of God for profit. Instead, with purity of motives, we speak in Christ, as we are sent from God, in the sight of God.
