1ولكني جزمت بهذا في نفسي ان لا آتي اليكم ايضا في حزن.
1But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
2لانه ان كنت احزنكم انا فمن هو الذي يفرحني الا الذي احزنته.
2For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
3وكتبت لكم هذا عينه حتى اذا جئت لا يكون لي حزن من الذين كان يجب ان افرح بهم واثقا بجميعكم ان فرحي هو فرح جميعكم.
3And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
4لاني من حزن كثير وكأبة قلب كتبت اليكم بدموع كثيرة لا لكي تحزنوا بل لكي تعرفوا المحبة التي عندي ولا سيّما من نحوكم
4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
5ولكن ان كان احد قد احزن فانه لم يحزني بل احزن جميعكم بعض الحزن لكي لا اثقل.
5But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
6مثل هذا يكفيه هذا القصاص الذي من الاكثرين
6Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
7حتى تكونوا بالعكس تسامحونه بالحري وتعزونه لئلا يبتلع مثل هذا من الحزن المفرط.
7so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
8لذلك اطلب ان تمكنوا له المحبة.
8Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.
9لاني لهذا كتبت لكي اعرف تزكيتكم هل انتم طائعون في كل شيء.
9For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
10والذي تسامحونه بشيء فانا ايضا. لاني انا ما سامحت به ان كنت قد سامحت بشيء فمن اجلكم بحضرة المسيح
10Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
11لئلا يطمع فينا الشيطان لاننا لا نجهل افكاره
11that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
12ولكن لما جئت الى ترواس لاجل انجيل المسيح وانفتح لي باب في الرب
12Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
13لم تكن لي راحة في روحي لاني لم اجد تيطس اخي. لكن ودعتهم فخرجت الى مكدونية
13I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
14ولكن شكرا للّه الذي يقودنا في موكب نصرته في المسيح كل حين ويظهر بنا رائحة معرفته في كل مكان.
14Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
15لاننا رائحة المسيح الذكية للّه في الذين يخلصون وفي الذين يهلكون.
15For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
16لهؤلاء رائحة موت لموت ولاولئك رائحة حياة لحياة. ومن هو كفؤ لهذه الامور.
16to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
17لاننا لسنا كالكثيرين غاشين كلمة الله لكن كما من اخلاص بل كما من الله نتكلم امام الله في المسيح
17For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
