2 Corinthians 2

1 So I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.

1 وَلَكِنِّي جَزَمْتُ بِهَذَا فِي نَفْسِي أَنْ لَا آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْضًا فِي حُزْنٍ.

2 For if I grieve you, who is left to cheer me but those whom I have grieved?

2 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ أُحْزِنُكُمْ أَنَا، فَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُفَرِّحُنِي إِلَّا ٱلَّذِي أَحْزَنْتُهُ؟

3 I wrote as I did so that on my arrival I would not be grieved by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would share my joy.

3 وَكَتَبْتُ لَكُمْ هَذَا عَيْنَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ لَا يَكُونُ لِي حُزْنٌ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ أَفْرَحَ بِهِمْ، وَاثِقًا بِجَمِيعِكُمْ أَنَّ فَرَحِي هُوَ فَرَحُ جَمِيعِكُمْ.

4 For through many tears I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart, not to grieve you but to let you know how much I love you.

4 لِأَنِّي مِنْ حُزْنٍ كَثِيرٍ وَكَآبَةِ قَلْبٍ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِدُمُوعٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، لَا لِكَيْ تَحْزَنُوا، بَلْ لِكَيْ تَعْرِفُوا ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ ٱلَّتِي عِنْدِي وَلَا سِيَّمَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ.

5 Now if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me but all of you—to some degree, not to overstate it.

5 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ قَدْ أَحْزَنَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُحْزِنِّي، بَلْ أَحْزَنَ جَمِيعَكُمْ بَعْضَ ٱلْحُزْنِ لِكَيْ لَا أُثَقِّلَ.

6 The punishment imposed on him by the majority is sufficient for him.

6 مِثْلُ هَذَا يَكْفِيهِ هَذَا ٱلْقِصَاصُ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلْأَكْثَرِينَ،

7 So instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

7 حَتَّى تَكُونُوا - بِٱلْعَكْسِ - تُسَامِحُونَهُ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ وَتُعَزُّونَهُ، لِئَلَّا يُبْتَلَعَ مِثْلُ هَذَا مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ ٱلْمُفْرِطِ.

8 Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.

8 لِذَلِكَ أَطْلُبُ أَنْ تُمَكِّنُوا لَهُ ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ.

9 My purpose in writing you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.

9 لِأَنِّي لِهَذَا كَتَبْتُ لِكَيْ أَعْرِفَ تَزْكِيَتَكُمْ: هَلْ أَنْتُمْ طَائِعُونَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ؟

10 If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it in the presence of Christ for your sake,

10 وَٱلَّذِي تُسَامِحُونَهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَنَا أَيْضًا. لِأَنِّي أَنَا مَا سَامَحْتُ بِهِ - إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ سَامَحْتُ بِشَيْءٍ - فَمِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ بِحَضْرَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

11 in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

11 لِئَلَّا يَطْمَعَ فِينَا ٱلشَّيْطَانُ، لِأَنَّنَا لَا نَجْهَلُ أَفْكَارَهُ.

12 Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and a door stood open for me in the Lord,

12 وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا جِئْتُ إِلَى تَرُوَاسَ، لِأَجْلِ إِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَٱنْفَتَحَ لِي بَابٌ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ،

13 I had no peace in my spirit, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.

13 لَمْ تَكُنْ لِي رَاحَةٌ فِي رُوحِي، لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ تِيطُسَ أَخِي. لَكِنْ وَدَّعْتُهُمْ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ.

14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphantly as captives in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.

14 وَلَكِنْ شُكْرًا لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي يَقُودُنَا فِي مَوْكِبِ نُصْرَتِهِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ كُلَّ حِينٍ، وَيُظْهِرُ بِنَا رَائِحَةَ مَعْرِفَتِهِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ.

15 For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

15 لِأَنَّنَا رَائِحَةُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلذَّكِيَّةُ لِلهِ، فِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْلُصُونَ وَفِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَهْلِكُونَ.

16 To the one we are an odor that brings death, to the other a fragrance that brings life. And who is qualified for such a task?

16 لِهَؤُلَاءِ رَائِحَةُ مَوْتٍ لِمَوْتٍ، وَلِأُولَئِكَ رَائِحَةُ حَيَاةٍ لِحَيَاةٍ. وَمَنْ هُوَ كُفْوءٌ لِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ؟

17 For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.

17 لِأَنَّنَا لَسْنَا كَٱلْكَثِيرِينَ غَاشِّينَ كَلِمَةَ ٱللهِ، لَكِنْ كَمَا مِنْ إِخْلَاصٍ، بَلْ كَمَا مِنَ ٱللهِ نَتَكَلَّمُ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ.
