2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:

1 بُولُسُ، رَسُولُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِمَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ، وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ ٱلْأَخُ، إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي فِي كُورِنْثُوسَ، مَعَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ أَجْمَعِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي جَمِيعِ أَخَائِيَةَ:

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

3 مُبَارَكٌ ٱللهُ أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَبُو ٱلرَّأْفَةِ وَإِلَهُ كُلِّ تَعْزِيَةٍ،

4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

4 ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّينَا فِي كُلِّ ضِيقَتِنَا، حَتَّى نَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ نُعَزِّيَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي كُلِّ ضِيقَةٍ بِٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي نَتَعَزَّى نَحْنُ بِهَا مِنَ ٱللهِ.

5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

5 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا تَكْثُرُ آلَامُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِينَا، كَذَلِكَ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ تَكْثُرُ تَعْزِيَتُنَا أَيْضًا.

6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.

6 فَإِنْ كُنَّا نَتَضَايَقُ فَلِأَجْلِ تَعْزِيَتِكُمْ وَخَلَاصِكُمُ، ٱلْعَامِلِ فِي ٱحْتِمَالِ نَفْسِ ٱلْآلَامِ ٱلَّتِي نَتَأَلَّمُ بِهَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا. أَوْ نَتَعَزَّى فَلِأَجْلِ تَعْزِيَتِكُمْ وَخَلَاصِكُمْ.

7 And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.

7 فَرَجَاؤُنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ ثَابِتٌ. عَالِمِينَ أَنَّكُمْ كَمَا أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فِي ٱلْآلَامِ، كَذَلِكَ فِي ٱلتَّعْزِيَةِ أَيْضًا.

8 We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.

8 فَإِنَّنَا لَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ضِيقَتِنَا ٱلَّتِي أَصَابَتْنَا فِي أَسِيَّا، أَنَّنَا تَثَقَّلْنَا جِدًّا فَوْقَ ٱلطَّاقَةِ، حَتَّى أَيِسْنَا مِنَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ أَيْضًا،

9 Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.

9 لَكِنْ كَانَ لَنَا فِي أَنْفُسِنَا حُكْمُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، لِكَيْ لَا نَكُونَ مُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا بَلْ عَلَى ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يُقِيمُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتَ،

10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,

10 ٱلَّذِي نَجَّانَا مِنْ مَوْتٍ مِثْلِ هَذَا، وَهُوَ يُنَجِّي. ٱلَّذِي لَنَا رَجَاءٌ فِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَيُنَجِّي أَيْضًا فِيمَا بَعْدُ.

11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.

11 وَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مُسَاعِدُونَ بِٱلصَّلَاةِ لِأَجْلِنَا، لِكَيْ يُؤَدَّى شُكْرٌ لِأَجْلِنَا مِنْ أَشْخَاصٍ كَثِيرِينَ، عَلَى مَا وُهِبَ لَنَا بِوَاسِطَةِ كَثِيرِينَ.

12 For this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.

12 لِأَنَّ فَخْرَنَا هُوَ هَذَا: شَهَادَةُ ضَمِيرِنَا أَنَّنَا فِي بَسَاطَةٍ وَإِخْلَاصِ ٱللهِ، لَا فِي حِكْمَةٍ جَسَدِيَّةٍ بَلْ فِي نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ، تَصَرَّفْنَا فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَلَا سِيَّمَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ.

13 For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,

13 فَإِنَّنَا لَا نَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ آخَرَ سِوَى مَا تَقْرَأُونَ أَوْ تَعْرِفُونَ. وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنَّكُمْ سَتَعْرِفُونَ إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ أَيْضًا،

14 as you have already understood us in part, that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.

14 كَمَا عَرَفْتُمُونَا أَيْضًا بَعْضَ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ، أَنَّنَا فَخْرُكُمْ، كَمَا أَنَّكُمْ أَيْضًا فَخْرُنَا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ.

15 Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.

15 وَبِهَذِهِ ٱلثِّقَةِ كُنْتُ أَشَاءُ أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَوَّلًا، لِتَكُونَ لَكُمْ نِعْمَةٌ ثَانِيَةٌ.

16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.

16 وَأَنْ أَمُرَّ بِكُمْ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ، وَآتِيَ أَيْضًا مِنْ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَأُشَيَّعَ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ.

17 When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” and also “No, no”?

17 فَإِذْ أَنَا عَازِمٌ عَلَى هَذَا، أَلَعَلِّي ٱسْتَعْمَلْتُ ٱلْخِفَّةَ؟ أَمْ أَعْزِمُ عَلَى مَا أَعْزِمُ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، كَيْ يَكُونَ عِنْدِي نَعَمْ نَعَمْ وَلَا لَا؟

18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”

18 لَكِنْ أَمِينٌ هُوَ ٱللهُ إِنَّ كَلَامَنَا لَكُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَعَمْ وَلَا.

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”

19 لِأَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱللهِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ، ٱلَّذِي كُرِزَ بِهِ بَيْنَكُمْ بِوَاسِطَتِنَا، أَنَا وَسِلْوَانُسَ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسَ، لَمْ يَكُنْ نَعَمْ وَلَا، بَلْ قَدْ كَانَ فِيهِ نَعَمْ.

20 For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.

20 لِأَنْ مَهْمَا كَانَتْ مَوَاعِيدُ ٱللهِ فَهُوَ فِيهِ «ٱلنَّعَمْ» وَفِيهِ «ٱلْآمِينُ»، لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ، بِوَاسِطَتِنَا.

21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,

21 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يُثَبِّتُنَا مَعَكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَقَدْ مَسَحَنَا، هُوَ ٱللهُ

22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.

22 ٱلَّذِي خَتَمَنَا أَيْضًا، وَأَعْطَى عَرْبُونَ ٱلرُّوحِ فِي قُلُوبِنَا.

23 I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

23 وَلَكِنِّي أَسْتَشْهِدُ ٱللهَ عَلَى نَفْسِي، أَنِّي إِشْفَاقًا عَلَيْكُمْ لَمْ آتِ إِلَى كُورِنْثُوسَ.

24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.

24 لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا نَسُودُ عَلَى إِيمَانِكُمْ، بَلْ نَحْنُ مُوازِرُونَ لِسُرُورِكُمْ. لِأَنَّكُمْ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ تَثْبُتُونَ.
