٢ كورنثوس 7

١ 1 فَإِذْ لَنَا هَذِهِ ٱلْمَوَاعِيدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ لِنُطَهِّرْ ذَوَاتِنَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَنَسِ ٱلْجَسَدِ وَٱلرُّوحِ، مُكَمِّلِينَ ٱلْقَدَاسَةَ فِي خَوْفِ ٱللهِ.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

٢ 2 اِقْبَلُونَا. لَمْ نَظْلِمْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نُفْسِدْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نَطْمَعْ فِي أَحَدٍ.

Make room for us; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.

٣ 3 لَا أَقُولُ هَذَا لِأَجْلِ دَيْنُونَةٍ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ قُلْتُ سَابِقًا إِنَّكُمْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، لِنَمُوتَ مَعَكُمْ وَنَعِيشَ مَعَكُمْ.

I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you are in our hearts, whether to die together or to live together.

٤ 4 لِي ثِقَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِكُمْ. لِي ٱفْتِخَارٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ. قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأْتُ تَعْزِيَةً وَٱزْدَدْتُ فَرَحًا جِدًّا فِي جَمِيعِ ضِيقَاتِنَا.

I have great confidence in you; I do a lot of boasting about you. I am filled with encouragement, overflowing with joy in spite of all our affliction.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّنَا لَمَّا أَتَيْنَا إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِجَسَدِنَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱلرَّاحَةِ بَلْ كُنَّا مُكْتَئِبِينَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ: مِنْ خَارِجٍ خُصُومَاتٌ، مِنْ دَاخِلٍ مَخَاوِفٌ.

Now indeed, when we came into Macedonia we had no physical rest, but were surrounded by affliction—conflicts on the outside, fears on the inside.

٦ 6 لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّي ٱلْمُتَّضِعِينَ عَزَّانَا بِمَجِيءِ تِيطُسَ.

But the God who encourages the lowly encouraged us by the coming of Titus;

٧ 7 وَلَيْسَ بِمَجِيئِهِ فَقَطْ بَلْ أَيْضًا بِٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَعَزَّى بِهَا بِسَبَبِكُمْ، وَهُوَ يُخْبِرُنَا بِشَوْقِكُمْ وَنَوْحِكُمْ وَغَيْرَتِكُمْ لِأَجْلِي، حَتَّى إِنِّي فَرِحْتُ أَكْثَرَ.

and not only by his coming, but also by how much he was encouraged over you as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal in my stead, so that I rejoiced even more.

٨ 8 لِأَنِّي وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَحْزَنْتُكُمْ بِٱلرِّسَالَةِ لَسْتُ أَنْدَمُ، مَعَ أَنِّي نَدِمْتُ، فَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنَّ تِلْكَ ٱلرِّسَالَةَ أَحْزَنَتْكُمْ وَلَوْ إِلَى سَاعَةٍ.

Even though that letter caused you sorrow, I do not regret it (though I almost did), because I perceive that the letter made you sorry, though only for a while.

٩ 9 اَلْآنَ أَنَا أَفْرَحُ، لَا لِأَنَّكُمْ حَزِنْتُمْ، بَلْ لِأَنَّكُمْ حَزِنْتُمْ لِلتَّوْبَةِ. لِأَنَّكُمْ حَزِنْتُمْ بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ لِكَيْ لَا تَتَخَسَّرُوا مِنَّا فِي شَيْءٍ.

Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry as God intended, so as not to be harmed by us in any way.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ ٱلْحُزْنَ ٱلَّذِي بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ يُنْشِئُ تَوْبَةً لِخَلَاصٍ بِلَا نَدَامَةٍ، وَأَمَّا حُزْنُ ٱلْعَالَمِ فَيُنْشِئُ مَوْتًا.

Now godly sorrow produces repentance into salvation without regret, but the world's sorrow produces death.

١١ 11 فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا حُزْنُكُمْ هَذَا عَيْنُهُ بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ، كَمْ أَنْشَأَ فِيكُمْ: مِنَ ٱلِٱجْتِهَادِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلِٱحْتِجَاجِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْخَوْفِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلشَّوْقِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ، بَلْ مِنَ ٱلِٱنْتِقَامِ. فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَظْهَرْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَبْرِيَاءُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ.

Just consider your own being caused to sorrow in a godly manner, how much diligence it produced in you—what self-defense, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have demonstrated yourselves to be clear in the matter.

١٢ 12 إِذًا وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَلَيْسَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمُذْنِبِ وَلَا لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمُذْنَبِ إِلَيْهِ، بَلْ لِكَيْ يَظْهَرَ لَكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ ٱجْتِهَادُنَا لِأَجْلِكُمْ.

So even though I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the wrongdoer, nor for that of the victim, but, before God, so that your real commitment to us might be made clear to you.

١٣ 13 مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا قَدْ تَعَزَّيْنَا بِتَعْزِيَتِكُمْ. وَلَكِنْ فَرِحْنَا أَكْثَرَ جِدًّا بِسَبَبِ فَرَحِ تِيطُسَ، لِأَنَّ رُوحَهُ قَدِ ٱسْتَرَاحَتْ بِكُمْ جَمِيعًا.

We have been encouraged by all this. Because of your encouragement, we rejoiced all the more over the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

١٤ 14 فَإِنِّي إِنْ كُنْتُ ٱفْتَخَرْتُ شَيْئًا لَدَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ لَمْ أُخْجَلْ، بَلْ كَمَا كَلَّمْنَاكُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِٱلصِّدْقِ، كَذَلِكَ ٱفْتِخَارُنَا أَيْضًا لَدَى تِيطُسَ صَارَ صَادِقًا.

Because wherein I boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame, but just as everything we spoke to you was true, so also our boasting to Titus proved to be true.

١٥ 15 وَأَحْشَاؤُهُ هِيَ نَحْوَكُمْ بِٱلزِّيَادَةِ، مُتَذَكِّرًا طَاعَةَ جَمِيعِكُمْ، كَيْفَ قَبِلْتُمُوهُ بِخَوْفٍ وَرِعْدَةٍ.

Also, his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers your collective obedience as you received him with fear and trembling.

١٦ 16 أَنَا أَفْرَحُ إِذًا أَنِّي أَثِقُ بِكُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

I am so glad that I have complete confidence in you.
