٢ كورنثوس 6

١ 1 فَإِذْ نَحْنُ عَامِلُونَ مَعَهُ نَطْلُبُ أَنْ لَا تَقْبَلُوا نِعْمَةَ ٱللهِ بَاطِلًا.

Working together with him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «فِي وَقْتٍ مَقْبُولٍ سَمِعْتُكَ، وَفِي يَوْمِ خَلَاصٍ أَعَنْتُكَ». هُوَذَا ٱلْآنَ وَقْتٌ مَقْبُولٌ. هُوَذَا ٱلْآنَ يَوْمُ خَلَاصٍ.

For he says, “In a favorable time I paid attention to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Look, now is the favorable time. Look, now is the day of salvation.

٣ 3 وَلَسْنَا نَجْعَلُ عَثْرَةً فِي شَيْءٍ لِئَلَّا تُلَامَ ٱلْخِدْمَةُ.

We do not place a stumbling block in front of anyone, for we do not wish our ministry to be discredited.

٤ 4 بَلْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ نُظْهِرُ أَنْفُسَنَا كَخُدَّامِ ٱللهِ، فِي صَبْرٍ كَثِيرٍ: فِي شَدَائِدَ، فِي ضَرُورَاتٍ، فِي ضِيقَاتٍ،

Instead, we prove ourselves by all our actions, that we are God's servants. We are his servants in much endurance, affliction, distress, hardship,

٥ 5 فِي ضَرَبَاتٍ، فِي سُجُونٍ، فِي ٱضْطِرَابَاتٍ، فِي أَتْعَابٍ، فِي أَسْهَارٍ، فِي أَصْوَامٍ،

beatings, imprisonments, riots, in hard work, in sleepless nights, in hunger,

٦ 6 فِي طَهَارَةٍ، فِي عِلْمٍ، فِي أَنَاةٍ، فِي لُطْفٍ، فِي ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ، فِي مَحَبَّةٍ بِلَا رِيَاءٍ،

in purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love.

٧ 7 فِي كَلَامِ ٱلْحَقِّ، فِي قُوَّةِ ٱللهِ بِسِلَاحِ ٱلْبِرِّ لِلْيَمِينِ وَلِلْيَسَارِ.

We are his servants in the word of truth, in the power of God. We have the armor of righteousness for the right hand and for the left.

٨ 8 بِمَجْدٍ وَهَوَانٍ، بِصِيتٍ رَدِيءٍ وَصِيتٍ حَسَنٍ. كَمُضِلِّينَ وَنَحْنُ صَادِقُونَ،

We work in honor and dishonor, in slander and praise. We are accused of being deceitful and yet we are truthful.

٩ 9 كَمَجْهُولِينَ وَنَحْنُ مَعْرُوفُونَ، كَمَائِتِينَ وَهَا نَحْنُ نَحْيَا، كَمُؤَدَّبِينَ وَنَحْنُ غَيْرُ مَقْتُولِينَ،

We work as if we were unknown and we are still well known. We work as dying and—see!—we are still living. We work as being punished for our actions but not as condemned to death.

١٠ 10 كَحَزَانَى وَنَحْنُ دَائِمًا فَرِحُونَ، كَفُقَرَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُغْنِي كَثِيرِينَ، كَأَنْ لَا شَيْءَ لَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَمْلِكُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

We work as sorrowful, but we are always rejoicing. We work as poor, but we are making many rich. We work as having nothing and yet as possessing all things.

١١ 11 فَمُنَا مَفْتُوحٌ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْكُورِنْثِيُّونَ. قَلْبُنَا مُتَّسِعٌ.

We have spoken the whole truth to you, Corinthians, and our heart is wide open.

١٢ 12 لَسْتُمْ مُتَضَيِّقِينَ فِينَا بَلْ مُتَضَيِّقِينَ فِي أَحْشَائِكُمْ.

You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own hearts.

١٣ 13 فَجَزَاءً لِذَلِكَ أَقُولُ كَمَا لِأَوْلَادِي: كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مُتَّسِعِينَ!

Now in fair exchange—I speak as to children—open yourselves wide also.

١٤ 14 لَا تَكُونُوا تَحْتَ نِيرٍ مَعَ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لِأَنَّهُ أَيَّةُ خُلْطَةٍ لِلْبِرِّ وَٱلْإِثْمِ؟ وَأَيَّةُ شَرِكَةٍ لِلنُّورِ مَعَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ؟

Do not be tied together with unbelievers. For what association does righteousness have with lawlessness? For what fellowship does light have with darkness?

١٥ 15 وَأَيُّ ٱتِّفَاقٍ لِلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ بَلِيعَالَ؟ وَأَيُّ نَصِيبٍ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ مَعَ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ؟

What agreement can Christ have with Beliar? Or what share does a believer have together with an unbeliever?

١٦ 16 وَأَيَّةُ مُوَافَقَةٍ لِهَيْكَلِ ٱللهِ مَعَ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ؟ فَإِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ هَيْكَلُ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ، كَمَا قَالَ ٱللهُ: «إِنِّي سَأَسْكُنُ فِيهِمْ وَأَسِيرُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا، وَهُمْ يَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْبًا.

And what agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said: “I will dwell among them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”

١٧ 17 لِذَلِكَ ٱخْرُجُوا مِنْ وَسْطِهِمْ وَٱعْتَزِلُوا، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. وَلَا تَمَسُّوا نَجِسًا فَأَقْبَلَكُمْ،

Therefore, “Come out from among them, and be set apart,” says the Lord. “Touch no unclean thing, and I will welcome you.

١٨ 18 وَأَكُونَ لَكُمْ أَبًا، وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ لِي بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ».

I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty.
