< 2 Corinthians 3 >

1 Doe we begin to praise our selues againe? or neede we as some other, epistles of recommendation vnto you, or letters of recommendation from you?
أَفَنَبْتَدِئُ نَمْدَحُ أَنْفُسَنَا؟ أَمْ لَعَلَّنَا نَحْتَاجُ كَقَوْمٍ رَسَائِلَ تَوْصِيَةٍ إِلَيْكُمْ، أَوْ رَسَائِلَ تَوْصِيَةٍ مِنْكُمْ؟١
2 Yee are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is vnderstand, and read of all men,
أَنْتُمْ رِسَالَتُنَا، مَكْتُوبَةً فِي قُلُوبِنَا، مَعْرُوفَةً وَمَقْرُوءَةً مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ.٢
3 In that yee are manifest, to be the Epistle of Christ, ministred by vs, and written, not with yncke, but with the Spirite of the liuing God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.
ظَاهِرِينَ أَنَّكُمْ رِسَالَةُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، مَخْدُومَةً مِنَّا، مَكْتُوبَةً لَا بِحِبْرٍ بَلْ بِرُوحِ ٱللهِ ٱلْحَيِّ، لَا فِي أَلْوَاحٍ حَجَرِيَّةٍ بَلْ فِي أَلْوَاحِ قَلْبٍ لَحْمِيَّةٍ.٣
4 And such trust haue we through Christ to God:
وَلَكِنْ لَنَا ثِقَةٌ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ لَدَى ٱللهِ.٤
5 Not that we are sufficient of our selues, to thinke any thing, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God,
لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا كُفَاةٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا أَنْ نَفْتَكِرَ شَيْئًا كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا، بَلْ كِفَايَتُنَا مِنَ ٱللهِ،٥
6 Who also hath made vs able ministers of the Newe testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirite: for the letter killeth, but the Spirite giueth life.
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَنَا كُفَاةً لِأَنْ نَكُونَ خُدَّامَ عَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ. لَا ٱلْحَرْفِ بَلِ ٱلرُّوحِ. لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَرْفَ يَقْتُلُ وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ يُحْيِي.٦
7 If then the ministration of death written with letters and ingrauen in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel coulde not beholde the face of Moses, for the glorie of his countenance (which glorie is done away.)
ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَتْ خِدْمَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، ٱلْمَنْقُوشَةُ بِأَحْرُفٍ فِي حِجَارَةٍ، قَدْ حَصَلَتْ فِي مَجْدٍ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَقْدِرْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَى وَجْهِ مُوسَى لِسَبَبِ مَجْدِ وَجْهِهِ ٱلزَّائِلِ،٧
8 Howe shall not the ministration of the Spirite be more glorious?
فَكَيْفَ لَا تَكُونُ بِٱلْأَوْلَى خِدْمَةُ ٱلرُّوحِ فِي مَجْدٍ؟٨
9 For if the ministerie of condemnation was glorious, much more doeth the ministration of righteousnesse exceede in glorie.
لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَتْ خِدْمَةُ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ مَجْدًا، فَبِٱلْأَوْلَى كَثِيرًا تَزِيدُ خِدْمَةُ ٱلْبِرِّ فِي مَجْدٍ!٩
10 For euen that which was glorified, was not glorified in this point, that is, as touching the exceeding glorie.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْمُمَجَّدَ أَيْضًا لَمْ يُمَجَّدْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْقَبِيلِ لِسَبَبِ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلْفَائِقِ.١٠
11 For if that which should be abolished, was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth, be glorious.
لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلزَّائِلُ فِي مَجْدٍ، فَبِٱلْأَوْلَى كَثِيرًا يَكُونُ ٱلدَّائِمُ فِي مَجْدٍ!١١
12 Seeing then that we haue such trust, we vse great boldnesse of speach.
فَإِذْ لَنَا رَجَاءٌ مِثْلُ هَذَا نَسْتَعْمِلُ مُجَاهَرَةً كَثِيرَةً.١٢
13 And we are not as Moses, which put a vaile vpon his face, that the children of Israel should not looke vnto the ende of that which should be abolished.
وَلَيْسَ كَمَا كَانَ مُوسَى يَضَعُ بُرْقُعًا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ لِكَيْ لَا يَنْظُرَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى نِهَايَةِ ٱلزَّائِلِ.١٣
14 Therefore their mindes are hardened: for vntill this day remaineth the same couering vntaken away in the reading of the olde Testament, which vaile in Christ is put away.
بَلْ أُغْلِظَتْ أَذْهَانُهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ حَتَّى ٱلْيَوْمِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْبُرْقُعُ نَفْسُهُ عِنْدَ قِرَاءَةِ ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ بَاقٍ غَيْرُ مُنْكَشِفٍ، ٱلَّذِي يُبْطَلُ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ.١٤
15 But euen vnto this day, whe Moses is read, the vaile is laid ouer their hearts.
لَكِنْ حَتَّى ٱلْيَوْمِ، حِينَ يُقْرَأُ مُوسَى، ٱلْبُرْقُعُ مَوْضُوعٌ عَلَى قَلْبِهِمْ.١٥
16 Neuertheles when their heart shall be turned to the Lord, the vaile shalbe taken away.
وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ يُرْفَعُ ٱلْبُرْقُعُ.١٦
17 Nowe the Lord is the Spirite, and where the Spirite of the Lord is, there is libertie.
وَأَمَّا ٱلرَّبُّ فَهُوَ ٱلرُّوحُ، وَحَيْثُ رُوحُ ٱلرَّبِّ هُنَاكَ حُرِّيَّةٌ.١٧
18 But we al behold as in a mirrour the glory of the Lord with open face, and are changed into the same image, from glorie to glorie, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
وَنَحْنُ جَمِيعًا نَاظِرِينَ مَجْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِوَجْهٍ مَكْشُوفٍ، كَمَا في مِرْآةٍ، نَتَغَيَّرُ إِلَى تِلْكَ ٱلصُّورَةِ عَيْنِهَا، مِنْ مَجْدٍ إِلَى مَجْدٍ، كَمَا مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلرُّوحِ.١٨
