1Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
1A wid eɛzizen, imi i ɣ-d țțunefkent lemɛahdat-agi, ilaq a nessizdeg iman-nneɣ seg wayen akk issenǧasen lǧețța-nneɣ akk-d wulawen-nneɣ iwakken a nkemmel tezdeg n tikli-nneɣ akk-d Sidi Ṛebbi, s ṭṭaɛa d wannuz.
2Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
2Qeblet-aɣ deg wulawen-nwen ! Ur neḍlim yiwen, ur nexdim cceṛ ula i yiwen, ur nečči lḥeqq n yiwen.
3I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
3Ur d-nniɣ ara annect-agi iwakken a kkun-sḍelmeɣ ; axaṭer nniɣ-awen t-id yakan : ama nedder ama newweḍ ɣer lmut, tellam deg wulawen-nneɣ .
4Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
4Lețkal-iw fell-awen meqqeṛ, țzuxxuɣ aṭas yis-wen ; yethedden wul-iw yerna yeččuṛ d lfeṛḥ ɣas akken nesɛedda aṭas n leɛtab.
5For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
5Seg wasmi i d-nekcem tamurt n Masidunya ur nesteɛfa, nețwaḥṛes si mkul tama : ccwal di beṛṛa, tugdi deg ulawen-nneɣ.
6Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
6Lameɛna Sidi Ṛebbi yețṣebbiṛen wid yețwaḥeqṛen, iṣebbeṛ aɣ s gma-tneɣ Titus mi d-yewweḍ.
7and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more.
7Mačči kan mi d-yewweḍ gma tneɣ Titus i nețțuṣebbeṛ, lameɛna nețțuṣebbeṛ daɣen s ṣṣbeṛ i d-yewwi s ɣuṛ-wen. Yeḥka-yaɣ-d acḥal tețmennim a yi-teẓrem, acḥal tḥeznem d wamek tebɣam a yi-tɛiwnem seg ul. ?ef wayagi i gzad lfeṛḥ-iw.
8For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.
8?riɣ belli sḥezneɣ-kkun s tebṛaț iw tamezwarut, lameɛna ur ndimeɣ ara ; ɣas akken ndemmeɣ, ndemmeɣ kan mi ẓriɣ sḥezneɣ-kkun kra n lweqt.
9I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
9Tura aql-i feṛḥeɣ, mačči imi i kkun-sḥezneɣ, meɛna imi s leḥzen-agi tettubem yerna tbeddlem tikli. Axaṭer leḥzen-nni i d-yeɣlin fell awen yusa-d s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi, s wakka ur d-yekki wacemma n diri s ɣuṛ-nneɣ.
10For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.
10Leḥzen i d-itekken s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi ițbeddil tikli n wemdan, yețțawi ɣer leslak yerna ur nțendemmay ara deg-s ; ma d leḥzen i d-itekken si ddunit, yețțawi ɣer lmut.
11For behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
11Leḥzen-agi-nwen yeɛǧeb aṭas Sidi Ṛebbi, walit acḥal i gexdem deg-wen : acḥal i tenneḥcamem d wamek i tḍelbem ssmaḥ ! Acḥal tendemmem, tekcem-ikkun tugdi n Sidi Ṛebbi ; acḥal tcedham a yi teẓrem yerna tebɣam a yi tɛiwnem ; amek daɣen tɛuqbem wid ixeddmen cceṛ ! Deg wayagi meṛṛa tesbeggnem-d belli teṣfam di taluft-agi.
12So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
12Ihi ma uriɣ-awen-d, mačči ɣef ddemma n win iḍelmen neɣ win yețwaḍelmen, lameɛna iwakken a d-iban gar-awen zdat Sidi Ṛebbi, acḥal meqqeṛ leḥmala-nwen ɣuṛ-nneɣ.
13Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
13?ef wannect-agi i theddnen wulawen-nneɣ. Sennig ṣṣbeṛ-agi, lfeṛḥ-nneɣ yennerna mi nwala acḥal yefṛeḥ yis-wen gma-tneɣ Titus, axaṭer tekksem-as anezgum.
14For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
14?ideț zuxxeɣ yis-wen zdat-es, lameɛna ur nneḥcameɣ ara, axaṭer anagar tideț i wen-d-nheddeṛ yal ass imi ayen akken s wayes nzuxx yis-wen zdat gma-tneɣ Titus, iban-ed belli ț-țideț ;
15His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
15lemḥibba-s ɣuṛ-wen tețnerni mkul m'ara d-immekti amek i tesṭerḥbem yis s leqdeṛ d wannuz.
16I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
16Feṛḥeɣ imi zemreɣ ad țekleɣ fell-awen di kullec.
