| 1 وَلكِنِّي جَزَمْتُ بِهذَا فِي نَفْسِي أَنْ لاَ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْضًا فِي حُزْنٍ. | 1 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. |
|
| 2 لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ أُحْزِنُكُمْ أَنَا، فَمَنْ هُوَ الَّذِي يُفَرِّحُنِي إِلاَّ الَّذِي أَحْزَنْتُهُ؟ | 2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? |
|
| 3 وَكَتَبْتُ لَكُمْ هذَا عَيْنَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ لاَ يَكُونُ لِي حُزْنٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ أَفْرَحَ بِهِمْ، وَاثِقًا بِجَمِيعِكُمْ أَنَّ فَرَحِي هُوَ فَرَحُ جَمِيعِكُمْ. | 3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. |
|
| 4 لأَنِّي مِنْ حُزْنٍ كَثِيرٍ وَكَآبَةِ قَلْبٍ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِدُمُوعٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، لاَ لِكَيْ تَحْزَنُوا، بَلْ لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا الْمَحَبَّةَ الَّتِي عِنْدِي وَلاَ سِيَّمَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ. | 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. |
|
مسامحة المذنب التائب | |
| 5 وَلكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ قَدْ أَحْزَنَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُحْزِنِّي، بَلْ أَحْزَنَ جَمِيعَكُمْ بَعْضَ الْحُزْنِ لِكَيْ لاَ أُثَقِّلَ. | 5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. |
|
| 6 مِثْلُ هذَا يَكْفِيهِ هذَا الْقِصَاصُ الَّذِي مِنَ الأَكْثَرِينَ، | 6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. |
|
| 7 حَتَّى تَكُونُوا بِالْعَكْسِ تُسَامِحُونَهُ بِالْحَرِيِّ وَتُعَزُّونَهُ، لِئَلاَّ يُبْتَلَعَ مِثْلُ هذَا مِنَ الْحُزْنِ الْمُفْرِطِ. | 7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. |
|
| 8 لِذلِكَ أَطْلُبُ أَنْ تُمَكِّنُوا لَهُ الْمَحَبَّةَ. | 8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. |
|
| 9 لأَنِّي لِهذَا كَتَبْتُ لِكَيْ أَعْرِفَ تَزْكِيَتَكُمْ، هَلْ أَنْتُمْ طَائِعُونَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ؟ | 9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. |
|
| 10 وَالَّذِي تُسَامِحُونَهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَنَا أَيْضًا. لأَنِّي أَنَا مَا سَامَحْتُ بِهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ سَامَحْتُ بِشَيْءٍ فَمِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ بِحَضْرَةِ الْمَسِيحِ، | 10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; |
|
| 11 لِئَلاَّ يَطْمَعَ فِينَا الشَّيْطَانُ، لأَنَّنَا لاَ نَجْهَلُ أَفْكَارَهُ. | 11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. |

الانتصار بالمسيح | |
| 12 وَلكِنْ لَمَّا جِئْتُ إِلَى تَرُوَاسَ، لأَجْلِ إِنْجِيلِ الْمَسِيحِ، وَانْفَتَحَ لِي بَابٌ فِي الرَّبِّ، | 12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, |
|
| 13 لَمْ تَكُنْ لِي رَاحَةٌ فِي رُوحِي، لأَنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ تِيطُسَ أَخِي. لكِنْ وَدَّعْتُهُمْ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ. | 13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. |
|
| 14 وَلكِنْ شُكْرًا ِللهِ الَّذِي يَقُودُنَا فِي مَوْكِبِ نُصْرَتِهِ فِي الْمَسِيحِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، وَيُظْهِرُ بِنَا رَائِحَةَ مَعْرِفَتِهِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ. | 14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. |
|
| 15 لأَنَّنَا رَائِحَةُ الْمَسِيحِ الذَّكِيَّةِ ِللهِ، فِي الَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ وَفِي الَّذِينَ يَهْلِكُونَ. | 15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: |
|
| 16 لِهؤُلاَءِ رَائِحَةُ مَوْتٍ لِمَوْتٍ، وَلأُولئِكَ رَائِحَةُ حَيَاةٍ لِحَيَاةٍ. وَمَنْ هُوَ كُفْوءٌ لِهذِهِ الأُمُورِ؟ | 16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? |
|
| 17 لأَنَّنَا لَسْنَا كَالْكَثِيرِينَ غَاشِّينَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، لكِنْ كَمَا مِنْ إِخْلاَصٍ، بَلْ كَمَا مِنَ اللهِ نَتَكَلَّمُ أَمَامَ اللهِ فِي الْمَسِيحِ. | 17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. |
