II Corinthians 13

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

هذِهِ الْمَرَّةُ الثَّالِثَةُ آتِي إِلَيْكُمْ. «عَلَى فَمِ شَاهِدَيْنِ وَثَلاَثَةٍ تَقُومُ كُلُّ كَلِمَةٍ».

I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

قَدْ سَبَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ، وَأَسْبِقُ فَأَقُولُ كَمَا وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ الْمَرَّةَ الثَّانِيَةَ، وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ الآنَ، أَكْتُبُ لِلَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَلِجَمِيعِ الْبَاقِينَ: أَنِّي إِذَا جِئْتُ أَيْضًا لاَ أُشْفِقُ.

Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

إِذْ أَنْتُمْ تَطْلُبُونَ بُرْهَانَ الْمَسِيحِ الْمُتَكَلِّمِ فِيَّ، الَّذِي لَيْسَ ضَعِيفًا لَكُمْ بَلْ قَوِيٌّ فِيكُمْ.

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

لأَنَّهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صُلِبَ مِنْ ضَعْفٍ، لكِنَّهُ حَيٌّ بِقُوَّةِ اللهِ. فَنَحْنُ أَيْضًا ضُعَفَاءُ فِيهِ، لكِنَّنَا سَنَحْيَا مَعَهُ بِقُوَّةِ اللهِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

جَرِّبُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ، هَلْ أَنْتُمْ فِي الإِيمَانِ؟ امْتَحِنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ. أَمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ، أَنَّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ فِيكُمْ، إِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا مَرْفُوضِينَ؟

But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

لكِنَّنِي أَرْجُو أَنَّكُمْ سَتَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّنَا نَحْنُ لَسْنَا مَرْفُوضِينَ.

Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

وَأُصَلِّي إِلَى اللهِ أَنَّكُمْ لاَ تَعْمَلُونَ شَيْئًا رَدِيًّا، لَيْسَ لِكَيْ نَظْهَرَ نَحْنُ مُزَكَّيْنَ، بَلْ لِكَيْ تَصْنَعُوا أَنْتُمْ حَسَنًا، وَنَكُونَ نَحْنُ كَأَنَّنَا مَرْفُوضُونَ.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

لأَنَّنَا لاَ نَسْتَطِيعُ شَيْئًا ضِدَّ الْحَقِّ، بَلْ لأَجْلِ الْحَقِّ.

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

لأَنَّنَا نَفْرَحُ حِينَمَا نَكُونُ نَحْنُ ضُعَفَاءَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ أَقْوِيَاءَ. وَهذَا أَيْضًا نَطْلُبُهُ كَمَالَكُمْ.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

لِذلِكَ أَكْتُبُ بِهذَا وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ، لِكَيْ لاَ أَسْتَعْمِلَ جَزْمًا وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ، حَسَبَ السُّلْطَانِ الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهُ الرَّبُّ لِلْبُنْيَانِ لاَ لِلْهَدْمِ.

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

أَخِيرًا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ افْرَحُوا. اِكْمَلُوا. تَعَزَّوْا. اِهْتَمُّوا اهْتِمَامًا وَاحِدًا. عِيشُوا بِالسَّلاَمِ، وَإِلهُ الْمَحَبَّةِ وَالسَّلاَمِ سَيَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ.

Greet one another with an holy kiss.

سَلِّمُوا بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِقُبْلَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ.

All the saints salute you.

يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعُ الْقِدِّيسِينَ.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia, by Titus and Lucas.

نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، وَمَحَبَّةُ اللهِ، وَشَرِكَةُ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ.
