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

¹For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

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

²For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;

³وان كنا لابسين لا نوجد عراة.

³if so be that being clothed we will 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 indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

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

⁵Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

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

⁶Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

⁷لاننا بالايمان نسلك لا بالعيان.

⁷for we walk by faith, not by sight.

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

⁸We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

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

⁹Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, 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 we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

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

¹¹Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.

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

¹²For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

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

¹³For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.

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

¹⁴For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

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

¹⁵He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

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

¹⁶Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

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

¹⁷Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

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

¹⁸But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

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

¹⁹namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

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

²⁰We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

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

²¹For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
