II Corinthians 5

لأَنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ إِنْ نُقِضَ بَيْتُ خَيْمَتِنَا الأَرْضِيُّ، فَلَنَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ بِنَاءٌ مِنَ اللهِ، بَيْتٌ غَيْرُ مَصْنُوعٍ بِيَدٍ، أَبَدِيٌّ.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

فَإِنَّنَا فِي هذِهِ أَيْضًا نَئِنُّ مُشْتَاقِينَ إِلَى أَنْ نَلْبَسَ فَوْقَهَا مَسْكَنَنَا الَّذِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

وَإِنْ كُنَّا لاَبِسِينَ لاَ نُوجَدُ عُرَاةً.

If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ فِي الْخَيْمَةِ نَئِنُّ مُثْقَلِينَ، إِذْ لَسْنَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَخْلَعَهَا بَلْ أَنْ نَلْبَسَ فَوْقَهَا، لِكَيْ يُبْتَلَعَ الْمَائِتُ مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ.

For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

وَلكِنَّ الَّذِي صَنَعَنَا لِهذَا عَيْنِهِ هُوَ اللهُ، الَّذِي أَعْطَانَا أَيْضًا عَرْبُونَ الرُّوحِ.

Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

فَإِذًا نَحْنُ وَاثِقُونَ كُلَّ حِينٍ وَعَالِمُونَ أَنَّنَا وَنَحْنُ مُسْتَوْطِنُونَ فِي الْجَسَدِ، فَنَحْنُ مُتَغَرِّبُونَ عَنِ الرَّبِّ.

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

لأَنَّنَا بِالإِيمَانِ نَسْلُكُ لاَ بِالْعِيَانِ.

(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

فَنَثِقُ وَنُسَرُّ بِالأَوْلَى أَنْ نَتَغَرَّبَ عَنِ الْجَسَدِ وَنَسْتَوْطِنَ عِنْدَ الرَّبِّ.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

لِذلِكَ نَحْتَرِصُ أَيْضًا ­مُسْتَوْطِنِينَ كُنَّا أَوْ مُتَغَرِّبِينَ­ أَنْ نَكُونَ مَرْضِيِّينَ عِنْدَهُ.

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

لأَنَّهُ لاَبُدَّ أَنَّنَا جَمِيعًا نُظْهَرُ أَمَامَ كُرْسِيِّ الْمَسِيحِ، لِيَنَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا كَانَ بِالْجَسَدِ بِحَسَبِ مَا صَنَعَ، خَيْرًا كَانَ أَمْ شَرًّا.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

فَإِذْ نَحْنُ عَالِمُونَ مَخَافَةَ الرَّبِّ نُقْنِعُ النَّاسَ. وَأَمَّا اللهُ فَقَدْ صِرْنَا ظَاهِرِينَ لَهُ، وَأَرْجُو أَنَّنَا قَدْ صِرْنَا ظَاهِرِينَ فِي ضَمَائِرِكُمْ أَيْضًا.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

لأَنَّنَا لَسْنَا نَمْدَحُ أَنْفُسَنَا أَيْضًا لَدَيْكُمْ، بَلْ نُعْطِيكُمْ فُرْصَةً لِلافْتِخَارِ مِنْ جِهَتِنَا، لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ جَوَابٌ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَفْتَخِرُونَ بِالْوَجْهِ لاَ بِالْقَلْبِ.

For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

لأَنَّنَا إِنْ صِرْنَا مُخْتَلِّينَ فَلِلّهِ، أَوْ كُنَّا عَاقِلِينَ فَلَكُمْ.

For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

لأَنَّ مَحَبَّةَ الْمَسِيحِ تَحْصُرُنَا. إِذْ نَحْنُ نَحْسِبُ هذَا: أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ وَاحِدٌ قَدْ مَاتَ لأَجْلِ الْجَمِيعِ، فَالْجَمِيعُ إِذًا مَاتُوا.

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

وَهُوَ مَاتَ لأَجْلِ الْجَمِيعِ كَيْ يَعِيشَ الأَحْيَاءُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ لاَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ، بَلْ لِلَّذِي مَاتَ لأَجْلِهِمْ وَقَامَ.

And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

إِذًا نَحْنُ مِنَ الآنَ لاَ نَعْرِفُ أَحَدًا حَسَبَ الْجَسَدِ. وَإِنْ كُنَّا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا الْمَسِيحَ حَسَبَ الْجَسَدِ، لكِنِ الآنَ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ بَعْدُ.

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

إِذًا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ فِي الْمَسِيحِ فَهُوَ خَلِيقَةٌ جَدِيدَةٌ: الأَشْيَاءُ الْعَتِيقَةُ قَدْ مَضَتْ، هُوَذَا الْكُلُّ قَدْ صَارَ جَدِيدًا.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

وَلكِنَّ الْكُلَّ مِنَ اللهِ، الَّذِي صَالَحَنَا لِنَفْسِهِ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، وَأَعْطَانَا خِدْمَةَ الْمُصَالَحَةِ،

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

أَيْ إِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ مُصَالِحًا الْعَالَمَ لِنَفْسِهِ، غَيْرَ حَاسِبٍ لَهُمْ خَطَايَاهُمْ، وَوَاضِعًا فِينَا كَلِمَةَ الْمُصَالَحَةِ.

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

إِذًا نَسْعَى كَسُفَرَاءَ عَنِ الْمَسِيحِ، كَأَنَّ اللهَ يَعِظُ بِنَا. نَطْلُبُ عَنِ الْمَسِيحِ: تَصَالَحُوا مَعَ اللهِ.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

لأَنَّهُ جَعَلَ الَّذِي لَمْ يَعْرِفْ خَطِيَّةً، خَطِيَّةً لأَجْلِنَا، لِنَصِيرَ نَحْنُ بِرَّ اللهِ فِيهِ.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
