II Corinthians 4

مِنْ أَجْلِ ذلِكَ، إِذْ لَنَا هذِهِ الْخِدْمَةُ ­كَمَا رُحِمْنَا­ لاَ نَفْشَلُ،

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

بَلْ قَدْ رَفَضْنَا خَفَايَا الْخِزْيِ، غَيْرَ سَالِكِينَ فِي مَكْرٍ، وَلاَ غَاشِّينَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، بَلْ بِإِظْهَارِ الْحَقِّ، مَادِحِينَ أَنْفُسَنَا لَدَى ضَمِيرِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ قُدَّامَ اللهِ.

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

وَلكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ إِنْجِيلُنَا مَكْتُومًا، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَكْتُومٌ فِي الْهَالِكِينَ،

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

الَّذِينَ فِيهِمْ إِلهُ هذَا الدَّهْرِ قَدْ أَعْمَى أَذْهَانَ غَيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لِئَلاَّ تُضِيءَ لَهُمْ إِنَارَةُ إِنْجِيلِ مَجْدِ الْمَسِيحِ، الَّذِي هُوَ صُورَةُ اللهِ.

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

فَإِنَّنَا لَسْنَا نَكْرِزُ بِأَنْفُسِنَا، بَلْ بِالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبًّا، وَلكِنْ بِأَنْفُسِنَا عَبِيدًا لَكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ يَسُوعَ.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

لأَنَّ اللهَ الَّذِي قَالَ:«أَنْ يُشْرِقَ نُورٌ مِنْ ظُلْمَةٍ»، هُوَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، لإِنَارَةِ مَعْرِفَةِ مَجْدِ اللهِ فِي وَجْهِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

وَلكِنْ لَنَا هذَا الْكَنْزُ فِي أَوَانٍ خَزَفِيَّةٍ، لِيَكُونَ فَضْلُ الْقُوَّةِ ِللهِ لاَ مِنَّا.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

مُكْتَئِبِينَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، لكِنْ غَيْرَ مُتَضَايِقِينَ. مُتَحَيِّرِينَ، لكِنْ غَيْرَ يَائِسِينَ.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

مُضْطَهَدِينَ، لكِنْ غَيْرَ مَتْرُوكِينَ. مَطْرُوحِينَ، لكِنْ غَيْرَ هَالِكِينَ.

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

حَامِلِينَ فِي الْجَسَدِ كُلَّ حِينٍ إِمَاتَةَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، لِكَيْ تُظْهَرَ حَيَاةُ يَسُوعَ أَيْضًا فِي جَسَدِنَا.

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

لأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ الأَحْيَاءَ نُسَلَّمُ دَائِمًا لِلْمَوْتِ مِنْ أَجْلِ يَسُوعَ، لِكَيْ تَظْهَرَ حَيَاةُ يَسُوعَ أَيْضًا فِي جَسَدِنَا الْمَائِتِ.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

إِذًا الْمَوْتُ يَعْمَلُ فِينَا، وَلكِنِ الْحَيَاةُ فِيكُمْ.

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

فَإِذْ لَنَا رُوحُ الإِيمَانِ عَيْنُهُ، حَسَبَ الْمَكْتُوب:«آمَنْتُ لِذلِكَ تَكَلَّمْتُ»، نَحْنُ أَيْضًا نُؤْمِنُ وَلِذلِكَ نَتَكَلَّمُ أَيْضًا.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ الَّذِي أَقَامَ الرَّبَّ يَسُوعَ سَيُقِيمُنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا بِيَسُوعَ، وَيُحْضِرُنَا مَعَكُمْ.

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ الأَشْيَاءِ هِيَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِكَيْ تَكُونَ النِّعْمَةُ وَهِيَ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ بِالأَكْثَرِينَ، تَزِيدُ الشُّكْرَ لِمَجْدِ اللهِ.

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

لِذلِكَ لاَ نَفْشَلُ، بَلْ وَإِنْ كَانَ إِنْسَانُنَا الْخَارِجُ يَفْنَى، فَالدَّاخِلُ يَتَجَدَّدُ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

لأَنَّ خِفَّةَ ضِيقَتِنَا الْوَقْتِيَّةَ تُنْشِئُ لَنَا أَكْثَرَ فَأَكْثَرَ ثِقَلَ مَجْدٍ أَبَدِيًّا.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

وَنَحْنُ غَيْرُ نَاظِرِينَ إِلَى الأَشْيَاءِ الَّتِي تُرَى، بَلْ إِلَى الَّتِي لاَ تُرَى. لأَنَّ الَّتِي تُرَى وَقْتِيَّةٌ، وَأَمَّا الَّتِي لاَ تُرَى فَأَبَدِيَّةٌ.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
