Corinthios Ii 7
1 Has ergo habentes promissiones, charissimi, mundemus nos ab omni inquinamento carnis, et spiritus perficientes sanctificationem in timore Dei.
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Capite nos. Neminem laesimus, neminem corrupimus, neminem circumvenimus.
Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
3 Non ad condemnationem vestram dico. praediximus enim quod in cordibus nostris estis ad commoriendum, et ad convivendum.
I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
4 Multa mihi fiducia est apud vos, multa mihi gloriatio pro vobis, repletus sum consolatione, superabundo gaudio in omni tribulatione vestra.
Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
5 Nam et cum venissemus in Macedoniam, nullam requiem habuit caro nostra, sed omnem tribulationem passi sumus: foris pugnae, intus timores.
For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
6 Sed qui consolatur humiles, consolatus est nos Deus in adventu Titi.
Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
7 Non solum autem in adventu eius, sed etiam in consolatione, qua consolatus est in vobis, referens nobis vestrum desiderium, vestrum fletum, vestram aemulationem pro me, ita ut magis gauderem.
and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
8 Quoniam etsi contristavi vos in epistola, non me poenitet: etsi poeniteret, videns quod epistola illa (etsi ad horam) vos contristavit;
For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
9 nunc gaudeo: non quia contristati estis, sed quia contristati estis ad poenitentiam. Contristati enim estis ad Deum, ut in nullo detrimentum patiamini ex nobis.
I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
10 Quae enim secundum Deum tristitia est, poenitentiam in salutem stabilem operatur: saeculi autem tristitia mortem operatur.
For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
11 Ecce enim hoc ipsum, secundum Deum contristari vos, quantam in vobis operatur solicitudinem: sed defensionem, sed indignationem, sed timorem, sed desiderium, sed aemulationem, sed vindictam. in omnibus exhibuistis vos, incontaminatos esse negotio.
For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
12 Igitur, etsi scripsi vobis, non propter eum, qui fecit iniuriam, nec propter eum, qui passus est: sed ad manifestandam solicitudinem nostram, quam habemus pro vobis
So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
13 coram Deo: ideo consolati sumus. In consolatione autem nostra, abundantius magis gavisi sumus super gaudio Titi, quia refectus est spiritus eius ab omnibus vobis.
Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
14 et si quid apud illum de vobis gloriatus sum, non sum confusus: sed sicut omnia vobis in veritate locuti sumus, ita et gloriatio nostra, quae fuit ad Titum, veritas facta est,
For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
15 et viscera eius abundantius in vobis sunt: reminiscentis omnium vestrum obedientiam: quomodo cum timore, et tremore excepistis illum.
His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
16 Gaudeo quod in omnibus confido in vobis.
I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
