1But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
1Ihi qesdeɣ ur n-țuɣaleɣ ara ɣuṛ wen, imi ur bɣiɣ ara a kkun sḥezneɣ daɣen.
2For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
2Axaṭer ma sḥezneɣ kkun, anwa ara yi-isfeṛḥen ma yella mačči d kunwi ?
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.
3Uggadeɣ a yi-isḥeznen kra seg wid i glaq a yi-isfeṛḥen, daymi i wen-d-zzewreɣ tabṛaț-nni, axaṭer ẓriɣ ma yella feṛḥeɣ aț-țfeṛḥem ula d kunwi.
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.
4Uriɣ-awen tabṛaț-nni s imeṭṭawen d leḥzen ameqqran akk-d wul yetqelqen, mačči iwakken aț țḥeznem lameɛna iwakken aț-țeẓrem acḥal i kkun-ḥemmleɣ.
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.
5Ma yella gar-awen win yellan d sebba n leḥzen, mačči d nekk i gesseḥzen lameɛna d kunwi meṛṛa i gesseḥzen, yeɛni bɣiɣ a d-iniɣ amur ameqqran deg-wen.
6Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
6Amdan-agi tlumm-it meṛṛa tejmaɛt, beṛka-t !
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.
7Tura, ilaq-awen kan a s-tsamḥem yerna a t-tesǧehdem, neɣ m'ulac a d iɣli fell-as leḥzen d ameqqran ara t-isfeclen.
8Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.
8Ihi a kkun-nhuɣ a s-d-beggnem belli tḥemmlem-t.
9For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
9Uriɣ-awen ayagi iwakken ad ẓreɣ ma tețțaɣem awal di kullec.
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,
10Win iwumi ara tsamḥem, a s-samḥeɣ ula d nekk ; ma yella wayen i ɣef ara samḥeɣ i yiwen, ɣef ddemma-nwen i s-sumḥeɣ zdat Lmasiḥ ;
11that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
11s wakka ur nețțaǧa ara Cciṭan a ɣ-iɣleb, axaṭer nessen lmeqṣud-is.
12Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
12Mi wwḍeɣ ɣer temdint n Truwas iwakken ad beccṛeɣ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ n Lmasiḥ, Sidi Ṛebbi yeldi-yi-d tiwwura iwakken ad beccṛeɣ.
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.
13Lameɛna ur yethenna ara wul-iw imi ur ufiɣ ara dinna gma-tneɣ Tit ; daymi ǧǧiɣ atmaten n temdint n Truwas, imiren ṛuḥeɣ ɣer tmurt n Masidunya.
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.
14A neḥmed Sidi Ṛebbi a t-ncekkeṛ imi s Lmasiḥ i nɣelleb kullec yerna yerra-yaɣ d iqeddacen-is iwakken a nbecceṛ Lmasiḥ di mkul amkan am rriḥa taẓiḍant.
15For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
15?er Sidi Ṛebbi, d nukni i d rriḥa taẓiḍant n Lmasiḥ ger wid ițwasellken yellan deg webrid n Sidna Ɛisa akk-d wid iḍaɛen.
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?
16I wid iḍaɛen, d ṛṛiḥa n lmut i d-ițțaken lmut ; i wid yellan deg webrid n leslak, d rriḥa n tudert i d ițțaken tudert. Anwa ihi i gzemren ad ixdem ccɣel am wagi ?
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.
17Nukni ur nețḥerrif ara awal n Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken a netjaṛ yis am akken xeddmen waṭas n yemdanen, lameɛna zdat Sidi Ṛebbi, ț-țideț i d-neqqaṛ mi nețbecciṛ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ n Lmasiḥ i ɣ-d-yekkan s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi.
