٢ كورنثوس 7

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

Loved ones, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves of everything that makes us unclean in our body and spirit. Let us pursue 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 not wronged anyone. We have not harmed anyone or taken advantage of anyone.

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

It is not to condemn you that I say this. For I have already said that you are in our hearts, for us to die together and 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, and I am proud of you. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy even in all our afflictions.

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.

When we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest. Instead, we were troubled in every way by conflicts on the outside and fears on the inside.

٦ 6 لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّي ٱلْمُتَّضِعِينَ عَزَّانَا بِمَجِيءِ تِيطُسَ.

But God, who comforts the discouraged, comforted us by the arrival of Titus.

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

It was not only by his arrival that God comforted us. It was also by the comfort that Titus had received from you. He told us of your great affection, your sorrow, and your deep concern for me. So 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 my letter made you sad, I do not regret it. But I did regret it when I saw that my letter made you sad. But you were sad just for a little 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 because you were distressed, but because your sadness brought you to repentance. You experienced a godly sorrow, so you suffered no loss because of us.

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

For godly sorrow brings about repentance that accomplishes salvation without regret. Worldly sorrow, however, brings about 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.

See what great determination this godly sorrow produced in you. How great was the determination in you to prove you were innocent. How great was your indignation, your fear, your longing, your zeal, and your desire to see that justice should be done! In everything you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

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

Although I wrote to you, I did not write for the sake of the wrongdoer, nor for the one who suffered the wrong, but so that your good will toward us should be made known to you in the sight of God.

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

It is by this that we are encouraged. In addition to our own comfort, we also rejoiced even more because of Titus' joy, because his spirit was refreshed by all of you.

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.

For if I boasted to him about you, I was not embarrassed. On the contrary, just as everything we said to you was true, our boasting about you to Titus proved to be true.

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

His affection for you is even greater, as he remembers the obedience of all of you, how you welcomed him with fear and trembling.

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

I rejoice because I have complete confidence in you.
