¹لاننا نعلم انه ان نقض بيت خيمتنا الارضي فلنا في السموات بناء من الله بيت غير مصنوع بيد ابدي.

¹For we have known that if our earthly house of the tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an house not made with hands — age-during — in the heavens,

²فاننا في هذه ايضا نئن مشتاقين الى ان نلبس فوقها مسكننا الذي من السماء.

²for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,

³وان كنا لابسين لا نوجد عراة.

³if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be found naked,

⁴فاننا نحن الذين في الخيمة نئن مثقلين اذ لسنا نريد ان نخلعها بل ان نلبس فوقها لكي يبتلع المائت من الحياة.

⁴for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.

⁵ولكن الذي صنعنا لهذا عينه هو الله الذي اعطانا ايضا عربون الروح.

⁵And He who did work us to this self-same thing [is] God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

⁶فاذا نحن واثقون كل حين وعالمون اننا ونحن مستوطنون في الجسد فنحن متغربون عن الرب.

⁶having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord, —

⁷لاننا بالايمان نسلك لا بالعيان.

⁷for through faith we walk, not through sight —

⁸فنثق ونسرّ بالأولى ان نتغرب عن الجسد ونستوطن عند الرب.

⁸we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

⁹لذلك نحترس ايضا مستوطنين كنا او متغربين ان نكون مرضيين عنده.

⁹Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him,

¹⁰لانه لا بد اننا جميعا نظهر امام كرسي المسيح لينال كل واحد ما كان بالجسد بحسب ما صنع خيرا كان ام شرا

¹⁰for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things [done] through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;

¹¹فاذ نحن عالمون مخافة الرب نقنع الناس. واما الله فقد صرنا ظاهرين له وارجو اننا قد صرنا ظاهرين في ضمائركم ايضا.

¹¹having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested;

¹²لاننا لسنا نمدح انفسنا ايضا لديكم بل نعطيكم فرصة للافتخار من جهتنا ليكون لكم جواب على الذين يفتخرون بالوجه لا بالقلب.

¹²for not again ourselves do we recommend to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that ye may have [something] in reference to those glorifying in face and not in heart;

¹³لاننا ان صرنا مختلين فللّه. او كنا عاقلين فلكم.

¹³for whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God; whether we be of sound mind — [it is] to you,

¹⁴لان محبة المسيح تحصرنا. اذ نحن نحسب هذا انه ان كان واحد قد مات لاجل الجميع فالجميع اذا ماتوا.

¹⁴for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,

¹⁵وهو مات لاجل الجميع كي يعيش الاحياء فيما بعد لا لانفسهم بل للذي مات لاجلهم وقام.

¹⁵and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

¹⁶اذا نحن من الآن لا نعرف احدا حسب الجسد. وان كنا قد عرفنا المسيح حسب الجسد لكن الآن لا نعرفه بعد.

¹⁶So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;

¹⁷اذا ان كان احد في المسيح فهو خليقة جديدة. الاشياء العتيقة قد مضت. هوذا الكل قد صار جديدا.

¹⁷so that if any one [is] in Christ — [he is] a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

¹⁸ولكن الكل من الله الذي صالحنا لنفسه بيسوع المسيح واعطانا خدمة المصالحة

¹⁸And the all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,

¹⁹اي ان الله كان في المسيح مصالحا العالم لنفسه غير حاسب لهم خطاياهم وواضعا فينا كلمة المصالحة.

¹⁹how that God was in Christ — a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,

²⁰اذا نسعى كسفراء عن المسيح كأن الله يعظ بنا. نطلب عن المسيح تصالحوا مع الله.

²⁰in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;`

²¹لانه جعل الذي لم يعرف خطية خطية لاجلنا لنصير نحن بر الله فيه

²¹for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
