II Corinthians 7

فَإِذْ لَنَا هذِهِ الْمَوَاعِيدُ أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ لِنُطَهِّرْ ذَوَاتِنَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَنَسِ الْجَسَدِ وَالرُّوحِ، مُكَمِّلِينَ الْقَدَاسَةَ فِي خَوْفِ اللهِ.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

اِقْبَلُونَا. لَمْ نَظْلِمْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نُفْسِدْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نَطْمَعْ فِي أَحَدٍ.

Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

لاَ أَقُولُ هذَا لأَجْلِ دَيْنُونَةٍ، لأَنِّي قَدْ قُلْتُ سَابِقًا إِنَّكُمْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، لِنَمُوتَ مَعَكُمْ وَنَعِيشَ مَعَكُمْ.

I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

لِي ثِقَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِكُمْ. لِي افْتِخَارٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ. قَدِ امْتَلأْتُ تَعْزِيَةً وَازْدَدْتُ فَرَحًا جِدًّا فِي جَمِيعِ ضِيقَاتِنَا.

Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

لأَنَّنَا لَمَّا أَتَيْنَا إِلَى مَكِدُونِيَّةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِجَسَدِنَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ الرَّاحَةِ بَلْ كُنَّا مُكْتَئِبِينَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ: مِنْ خَارِجٍ خُصُومَاتٌ، مِنْ دَاخِل مَخَاوِفُ.

For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

لكِنَّ اللهَ الَّذِي يُعَزِّي الْمُتَّضِعِينَ عَزَّانَا بِمَجِيءِ تِيطُسَ.

Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

وَلَيْسَ بِمَجِيئِهِ فَقَطْ بَلْ أَيْضًا بِالتَّعْزِيَةِ الَّتِي تَعَزَّى بِهَا بِسَبَبِكُمْ، وَهُوَ يُخْبِرُنَا بِشَوْقِكُمْ وَنَوْحِكُمْ وَغَيْرَتِكُمْ لأَجْلِي، حَتَّى إِنِّي فَرِحْتُ أَكْثَرَ.

And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.

لأَنِّي وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَحْزَنْتُكُمْ بِالرِّسَالَةِ لَسْتُ أَنْدَمُ، مَعَ أَنِّي نَدِمْتُ. فَإِنِّي أَرَى أَنَّ تِلْكَ الرِّسَالَةَ أَحْزَنَتْكُمْ وَلَوْ إِلَى سَاعَةٍ.

For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.

اَلآنَ أَنَا أَفْرَحُ، لاَ لأَنَّكُمْ حَزِنْتُمْ، بَلْ لأَنَّكُمْ حَزِنْتُمْ لِلتَّوْبَةِ. لأَنَّكُمْ حَزِنْتُمْ بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ اللهِ لِكَيْ لاَ تَتَخَسَّرُوا مِنَّا فِي شَيْءٍ.

Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

لأَنَّ الْحُزْنَ الَّذِي بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ اللهِ يُنْشِئُ تَوْبَةً لِخَلاَصٍ بِلاَ نَدَامَةٍ، وَأَمَّا حُزْنُ الْعَالَمِ فَيُنْشِئُ مَوْتًا.

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا حُزْنُكُمْ هذَا عَيْنُهُ بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ اللهِ، كَمْ أَنْشَأَ فِيكُمْ: مِنَ الاجْتِهَادِ، بَلْ مِنَ الاحْتِجَاجِ، بَلْ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ، بَلْ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ، بَلْ مِنَ الشَّوْقِ، بَلْ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ، بَلْ مِنَ الانْتِقَامِ. فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَظْهَرْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَبْرِيَاءُ فِي هذَا الأَمْرِ.

For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

إِذًا وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ، فَلَيْسَ لأَجْلِ الْمُذْنِبِ وَلاَ لأَجْلِ الْمُذْنَبِ إِلَيْهِ، بَلْ لِكَيْ يَظْهَرَ لَكُمْ أَمَامَ اللهِ اجْتِهَادُنَا لأَجْلِكُمْ.

Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

مِنْ أَجْلِ هذَا قَدْ تَعَزَّيْنَا بِتَعْزِيَتِكُمْ. وَلكِنْ فَرِحْنَا أَكْثَرَ جِدًّا بِسَبَبِ فَرَحِ تِيطُسَ، لأَنَّ رُوحَهُ قَدِ اسْتَرَاحَتْ بِكُمْ جَمِيعًا.

Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

فَإِنِّي إِنْ كُنْتُ افْتَخَرْتُ شَيْئًا لَدَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ لَمْ أُخْجَلْ، بَلْ كَمَا كَلَّمْنَاكُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِالصِّدْقِ، كَذلِكَ افْتِخَارُنَا أَيْضًا لَدَى تِيطُسَ صَارَ صَادِقًا.

For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.

وَأَحْشَاؤُهُ هِيَ نَحْوَكُمْ بِالزِّيَادَةِ، مُتَذَكِّرًا طَاعَةَ جَمِيعِكُمْ، كَيْفَ قَبِلْتُمُوهُ بِخَوْفٍ وَرِعْدَةٍ.

And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

أَنَا أَفْرَحُ إِذًا أَنِّي أَثِقُ بِكُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ.

I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
