2 Corinthians 5

1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

1 لِأَنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ إِنْ نُقِضَ بَيْتُ خَيْمَتِنَا ٱلْأَرْضِيُّ، فَلَنَا فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ بِنَاءٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ، بَيْتٌ غَيْرُ مَصْنُوعٍ بِيَدٍ، أَبَدِيٌّ.

2 For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,

2 فَإِنَّنَا فِي هَذِهِ أَيْضًا نَئِنُّ مُشْتَاقِينَ إِلَى أَنْ نَلْبَسَ فَوْقَهَا مَسْكَنَنَا ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.

3 وَإِنْ كُنَّا لَابِسِينَ لَا نُوجَدُ عُرَاةً.

4 For while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.

4 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْخَيْمَةِ نَئِنُّ مُثْقَلِينَ، إِذْ لَسْنَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَخْلَعَهَا بَلْ أَنْ نَلْبَسَ فَوْقَهَا، لِكَيْ يُبْتَلَعَ ٱلْمَائِتُ مِنَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ.

5 And it is God who has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.

5 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَنَا لِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ هُوَ ٱللهُ، ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَانَا أَيْضًا عَرْبُونَ ٱلرُّوحِ.

6 Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.

6 فَإِذًا نَحْنُ وَاثِقُونَ كُلَّ حِينٍ وَعَالِمُونَ أَنَّنَا وَنَحْنُ مُسْتَوْطِنُونَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، فَنَحْنُ مُتَغَرِّبُونَ عَنِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

7 لِأَنَّنَا بِٱلْإِيمَانِ نَسْلُكُ لَا بِٱلْعِيَانِ.

8 We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

8 فَنَثِقُ وَنُسَرُّ بِٱلْأَوْلَى أَنْ نَتَغَرَّبَ عَنِ ٱلْجَسَدِ وَنَسْتَوْطِنَ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

9 So we aspire to please Him, whether we are at home in this body or away from it.

9 لِذَلِكَ نَحْتَرِصُ أَيْضًا -مُسْتَوْطِنِينَ كُنَّا أَوْ مُتَغَرِّبِينَ- أَنْ نَكُونَ مَرْضِيِّينَ عِنْدَهُ.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.

10 لِأَنَّهُ لَابُدَّ أَنَّنَا جَمِيعًا نُظْهَرُ أَمَامَ كُرْسِيِّ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِيَنَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا كَانَ بِٱلْجَسَدِ بِحَسَبِ مَا صَنَعَ، خَيْرًا كَانَ أَمْ شَرًّا.

11 Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.

11 فَإِذْ نَحْنُ عَالِمُونَ مَخَافَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ نُقْنِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ. وَأَمَّا ٱللهُ فَقَدْ صِرْنَا ظَاهِرِينَ لَهُ، وَأَرْجُو أَنَّنَا قَدْ صِرْنَا ظَاهِرِينَ فِي ضَمَائِرِكُمْ أَيْضًا.

12 We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.

12 لِأَنَّنَا لَسْنَا نَمْدَحُ أَنْفُسَنَا أَيْضًا لَدَيْكُمْ، بَلْ نُعْطِيكُمْ فُرْصَةً لِلِٱفْتِخَارِ مِنْ جِهَتِنَا، لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ جَوَابٌ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَخِرُونَ بِٱلْوَجْهِ لَا بِٱلْقَلْبِ.

13 If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

13 لِأَنَّنَا إِنْ صِرْنَا مُخْتَلِّينَ فَلِلهِ، أَوْ كُنَّا عَاقِلِينَ فَلَكُمْ.

14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.

14 لِأَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ تَحْصُرُنَا. إِذْ نَحْنُ نَحْسِبُ هَذَا: أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ وَاحِدٌ قَدْ مَاتَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْجَمِيعِ، فَٱلْجَمِيعُ إِذًا مَاتُوا.

15 And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.

15 وَهُوَ مَاتَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْجَمِيعِ كَيْ يَعِيشَ ٱلْأَحْيَاءُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ لَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، بَلْ لِلَّذِي مَاتَ لِأَجْلِهِمْ وَقَامَ.

16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

16 إِذًا نَحْنُ مِنَ ٱلْآنَ لَا نَعْرِفُ أَحَدًا حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ. وَإِنْ كُنَّا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا ٱلْمَسِيحَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ، لَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ بَعْدُ.

17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!

17 إِذًا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ فَهُوَ خَلِيقَةٌ جَدِيدَةٌ: ٱلْأَشْيَاءُ ٱلْعَتِيقَةُ قَدْ مَضَتْ، هُوَذَا ٱلْكُلُّ قَدْ صَارَ جَدِيدًا.

18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

18 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْكُلَّ مِنَ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي صَالَحَنَا لِنَفْسِهِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَأَعْطَانَا خِدْمَةَ ٱلْمُصَالَحَةِ،

19 that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

19 أَيْ إِنَّ ٱللهَ كَانَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ مُصَالِحًا ٱلْعَالَمَ لِنَفْسِهِ، غَيْرَ حَاسِبٍ لَهُمْ خَطَايَاهُمْ، وَوَاضِعًا فِينَا كَلِمَةَ ٱلْمُصَالَحَةِ.

20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.

20 إِذًا نَسْعَى كَسُفَرَاءَ عَنِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، كَأَنَّ ٱللهَ يَعِظُ بِنَا. نَطْلُبُ عَنِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ: تَصَالَحُوا مَعَ ٱللهِ.

21 God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

21 لِأَنَّهُ جَعَلَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْ خَطِيَّةً، خَطِيَّةً لِأَجْلِنَا، لِنَصِيرَ نَحْنُ بِرَّ ٱللهِ فِيهِ.
