2 Corinthians 13

1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”

1 هَذِهِ ٱلْمَرَّةُ ٱلثَّالِثَةُ آتِي إِلَيْكُمْ. «عَلَى فَمِ شَاهِدَيْنِ وَثَلَاثَةٍ تَقُومُ كُلُّ كَلِمَةٍ».

2 I already warned you the second time I was with you. So now in my absence I warn those who sinned earlier and everyone else: If I return, I will not spare anyone,

2 قَدْ سَبَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ، وَأَسْبِقُ فَأَقُولُ كَمَا وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ ٱلْمَرَّةَ ٱلثَّانِيَةَ، وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ ٱلْآنَ، أَكْتُبُ لِلَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَلِجَمِيعِ ٱلْبَاقِينَ: أَنِّي إِذَا جِئْتُ أَيْضًا لَا أُشْفِقُ.

3 since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you but is powerful among you.

3 إِذْ أَنْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ بُرْهَانَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِ فِيَّ، ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ ضَعِيفًا لَكُمْ بَلْ قَوِيٌّ فِيكُمْ.

4 For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. For we are also weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him concerning you.

4 لِأَنَّهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صُلِبَ مِنْ ضَعْفٍ، لَكِنَّهُ حَيٌّ بِقُوَّةِ ٱللهِ. فَنَحْنُ أَيْضًا ضُعَفَاءُ فِيهِ، لَكِنَّنَا سَنَحْيَا مَعَهُ بِقُوَّةِ ٱللهِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ.

5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you fail the test?

5 جَرِّبُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ، هَلْ أَنْتُمْ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ؟ ٱمْتَحِنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ. أَمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ، أَنَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ هُوَ فِيكُمْ، إِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا مَرْفُوضِينَ؟

6 And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.

6 لَكِنَّنِي أَرْجُو أَنَّكُمْ سَتَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّنَا نَحْنُ لَسْنَا مَرْفُوضِينَ.

7 Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not that we will appear to have stood the test, but that you will do what is right, even if we appear to have failed.

7 وَأُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱللهِ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْمَلُونَ شَيْئًا رَدِيًّا، لَيْسَ لِكَيْ نَظْهَرَ نَحْنُ مُزَكَّيْنَ، بَلْ لِكَيْ تَصْنَعُوا أَنْتُمْ حَسَنًا، وَنَكُونَ نَحْنُ كَأَنَّنَا مَرْفُوضُونَ.

8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

8 لِأَنَّنَا لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ شَيْئًا ضِدَّ ٱلْحَقِّ، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْحَقِّ.

9 In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.

9 لِأَنَّنَا نَفْرَحُ حِينَمَا نَكُونُ نَحْنُ ضُعَفَاءَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ أَقْوِيَاءَ. وَهَذَا أَيْضًا نَطْلُبُهُ: كَمَالَكُمْ.

10 This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.

10 لِذَلِكَ أَكْتُبُ بِهَذَا وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ، لِكَيْ لَا أَسْتَعْمِلَ جَزْمًا وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ، حَسَبَ ٱلسُّلْطَانِ ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهُ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْبُنْيَانِ لَا لِلْهَدْمِ.

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

11 أَخِيرًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ ٱفْرَحُوا. اِكْمَلُوا. تَعَزَّوْا. اِهْتَمُّوا ٱهْتِمَامًا وَاحِدًا. عِيشُوا بِٱلسَّلَامِ، وَإِلَهُ ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ وَٱلسَّلَامِ سَيَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ.

12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

12 سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ.

13 All the saints send you greetings.

13 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

14 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَمَحَبَّةُ ٱللهِ، وَشَرِكَةُ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ.
