2 Korinflilərə 1
1 Allahın iradəsi ilə Məsih İsanın həvarisi mən Paul və Timotey qardaşdan Allahın Korinfdə olan cəmiyyətinə və bütün Axayyadakı müqəddəslərə salam!
[I], Paul, who [write this letter to you], became an apostle of Christ Jesus because God chose me for that. [Timothy, our] fellow believer, [is with me. I am sending this letter] to you who are God’s people in the congregations in Corinth [city. I want] the believers who live in [other places] in Achaia [province to also read this letter].
2 Atamız Allahdan və Rəbb İsa Məsihdən sizə lütf və sülh olsun!
[We(exc) desire] that you will [experience] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [acting] kindly toward you and causing you to have [inner] peace.
3 Rəbbimiz İsa Məsihin Allahına – Atasına alqış olsun! O, rəhmli Ata və hər cür təsəlli verən Allahdır.
[We should] praise God, who is the father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus Christ. He always pities us and helps us [because he is like] [MET] a father to us [and we are like his children]. He always encourages us [(inc)].
4 Çəkdiyimiz hər bir əziyyətdə O bizə təsəlli verir ki, biz də Allahdan aldığımız təsəlli ilə hər cür əziyyət çəkənlərə təsəlli verə bilək.
He has encouraged us [(exc)] whenever we suffered hardships. As a result, we [(exc)] are able to encourage others whenever they suffer hardships, just as/just like God has encouraged us [(exc)].
5 Çünki Məsihin əzablarını necə böyük həcmdə çəkiriksə, Məsih vasitəsilə o cür böyük təsəlli də tapırıq.
It is true that just like Christ suffered, we [who serve him] also continually suffer [because we belong to him]. But also, because we [belong to] Christ, God greatly strengthens us (just as/just like) [God strengthened him].
6 Əziyyət çəkiriksə, bu sizə təsəlli və xilas gətirir. Təsəlli tapırıqsa, bu da bizim kimi çəkdiyiniz əzablara dözəsiniz deyə sizə güc verən bir təsəlli almanız üçündür.
So, whenever we [(exc)] experience sufferings, we [learn how to encourage] you [when you experience sufferings. As a result, you will become more and more the kind of people God] wants you to be. Whenever [God] strengthens us [(exc) when we are suffering, he] does that in order that you [may see how he makes us strong when we are suffering. Then, as God] encourages [you in that way], you will learn to continue patiently [trusting him] when you suffer as we do.
7 Sizinlə bağlı ümidimiz sarsılmaz. Çünki əzablarımıza şərik olduğunuz kimi təsəllimizə də şərik olduğunuzu bilirik.
As a result, we [(exc)] strongly expect that because you suffer just as/just like we do, [God] will encourage you (just as/just like) [he] encourages us.
8 Ey qardaşlar, Asiya vilayətində çəkdiyimiz əziyyətlərdən bixəbər olmağınızı istəmirəm. Gücümüzdən daha artıq bir yük altında qaldıq. Hətta yaşamaqdan belə, ümidimizi kəsmişdik.
[Our] fellow believers, we [(exc)] want you to know [LIT] about the trouble that we suffered in Asia [province]. That trouble was so very great that it was much more than we were able to endure. As a result, we [(exc)] thought that we would certainly die.
9 Daxilən hiss etdik ki, ölümə məhkum olmuşuq. Amma bu özümüzə deyil, ölüləri dirildən Allaha güvənməyimiz üçün başımıza gəldi.
Indeed, we felt [like a person feels when he has heard a judge say], “I condemn you to die/be executed [MET].” But [God allowed us to think that we were going to die] so that we would not (rely on/trust in) our own [strength. He wanted us] instead [to rely] only on his [strength, because he] is the one who [has power even to make] those who have died live [again].
10 Allah bizi belə bir böyük ölüm təhlükəsindən qurtardı və qurtarmaqda davam edəcək. Ümidimizi Ona bağlamışıq
And [even though] we [(exc)] were [in terrible danger and were] about to die, God rescued us. And he will continue to rescue us [whenever we are in trouble]. We confidently expect that he will continue to rescue us [time after time].
11 və siz də dualarınızla bizə kömək etdikcə bizi yenə qurtaracaq. Belə ki bir çox insanın etdiyi dua nəticəsində bizə verdiyi ənamdan ötrü qoy çoxları bizim üçün Allaha şükür etsin.
[And we are also relying on] you to help us by praying for us [(exc)]. [If many people pray for us], many people will also thank [God] when [he] kindly answers those many prayers [and delivers us from danger].
12 Vicdanımız da şahiddir ki, dünyaya, xüsusən sizə görə bəşəri müdrikliklə deyil, Allahın lütfü ilə, Allahdan gələn səxavət və səmimiyyətlə həyat sürmüşük. Biz buna görə fəxr edirik.
I am happy [to say] that I have behaved toward all people [MTY] in an honest and sincere way. My conscience assures me [that this is true]. Especially, I have behaved toward you [honestly and sincerely because that is what] God wants us to do. As I have done that, [my thoughts] have not been the thoughts that unbelieving people [MTY] [think are] wise. Instead, [I have behaved toward people only as God wants me to, depending on] God to help me in ways that I do not deserve.
13 Biz elə bir şey yazmırıq ki, siz oxuyub başa düşə bilməyəsiniz. Hələlik bizi bir az başa düşmüsünüz. Rəbbimiz İsa Məsihin günündə bizim fəxrimiz siz olduğunuz kimi sizin də fəxriniz biz olacağıq. Ümidvaram ki, bunu tamam başa düşəcəksiniz.
[I say that] because [in all my letters to you] I have always written [LIT] clearly in a way that you can easily and completely understand [when you] read them.
[Previously some of] you, but not all of you, have completely understood [that I am always honest and sincere with you]. But I confidently expect that [soon] you will all be fully convinced [about that]. Then when the Lord Jesus [MTY] [returns, you will all be able to say that] you are pleased with me, just like I will [be able to say that] I am pleased with you.
15 Buna əmin olub əvvəlcə yanınıza gəlmək niyyətində idim ki, ikiqat xeyir tapasınız.
It was because I felt sure [that all of you were pleased with me] that I was planning to visit you on my way from [here] to Macedonia [province]. I also planned to visit you again on my way back from there, so that I could [spend time with you] twice, and be able to help you more, and I was hoping that you would [give me things that I needed] [EUP] for my journey to Judea [province].
16 Həm Makedoniyaya gedəndə, həm də Makedoniyadan qayıdanda yanınıza gəlmək niyyətində oldum. Bundan sonra siz məni Yəhudeyaya yola salmalı idiniz.
17 Bu niyyətdə olanda görəsən qərarsız idimmi? Ya da niyyətlərim cismani təbiətimdən doğur ki, gah «bəli, bəli», gah da «xeyr, xeyr» deyim?
So then, even though I [changed my mind later and did not do what] I [first] planned to do, [it was not because I did not have an important reason for changing my plans]. Surely you do not [really think] that I decide what I am going to do like people who do not know God do! [RHQ] I am [not like that]. I am not [a person who] says [to people], “Yes, [certainly I will do that],” and then [for no good reason changes his mind and says], “No, [I will not do it].”
18 Allahın sədaqətinə and olsun ki, sizə çatdırdığımız xəbər gah «bəli», gah da «xeyr» deyil.
Just as surely as God always does what he says [he will do, it is true that I have never said], “Yes, [I will do this]” when I [really meant] “No.”
19 Sila və Timoteylə birlikdə sizə vəz etdiyimiz Allahın Oğlu İsa Məsih həm «bəli», həm də «xeyr» deyil. Onda yalnız «bəli» var.
[I follow the example of] God’s Son, Jesus Christ. When I, along with Silas and Timothy, taught you [about Christ], we told you that he was not [someone who said that he] would do [something] and [then] did not [do it]. Jesus Christ never [said to anyone], “Yes, [I will do what you desire],” and [then did] not [do it].
20 Çünki Allahın bütün vədləri İsa Məsihdə «bəli»dir. Buna görə Allahın izzəti üçün Məsih vasitəsilə «Amin» deyirik.
[We(inc) know that is true], because everything that God promised to do [for his people], he has done completely by [sending] Christ [to save us]. That is why we say, “Yes, it is true! [God has done everything that he promised to do]!” And we praise him for that!
21 Bizi sizlərlə birlikdə Məsihə möhkəm bağlayan və bizi məsh edən Allahdır.
Now it is only God himself who causes us [(exc)], as well as you, to keep on [believing] strongly in Christ. God is the one who chose us [(inc) to belong to him and to have a close relationship] with Christ.
22 O bizi möhürlədi və Ruhunu qəlbimizdə girov qoydu.
He also sent his Holy Spirit into our [(inc)] lives to mark us as belonging to himself [MET]. Also, since he has sent his Spirit to live in us [(inc)], [he wants us to know by this that] he guarantees [MET] [to give us every other] ([blessing/good thing]) [that he has promised].
23 Allah şahidimdir, canıma and olsun ki, indiyədək sizə qıymadığım üçün Korinfə gəlmədim.
So now [I will tell you why I changed my mind and did not visit you as I intended to do]: God himself knows [that what I am telling you is true]. The reason that I did not return to Corinth was so that I might not have to [speak to you severely about the wrong that you had done].
24 İmanınıza ağalıq etmək istəmirik, sevinməniz üçün sizinlə birgə çalışırıq. Çünki imanda dönməz dayanmısınız.
It is not that Silas, Timothy and I want to boss you [and tell you that you must] believe only what we say. [Not at all]! On the contrary, we [(exc)] are working as partners [with you] in order to make you happy. [We do not try to force you to believe everything that we believe, because we are sure that you are continuing to] trust [the Lord Jesus Christ] and that you are remaining firmly committed to him.
