| 1 But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow. | 1 ܕܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܐ ܒܢܦܫܝ ܕܠܐ ܬܘܒ ܒܟܪܝܘܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܀ |
| 2 For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me? | 2 ܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܟܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܢܚܕܝܢܝ ܐܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܀ |
| 3 And I wrote this same to you; that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow, from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. | 3 ܘܕܟܬܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܢܟܪܘܢ ܠܝ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܢܚܕܘܢܢܝ ܬܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܕܚܕܘܬܝ ܕܟܠܟܘܢ ܗܝ ܀ |
| 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you. | 4 ܘܡܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܐܢܘܤܝܐ ܕܠܒܐ ܟܬܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܕܡܥܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܟܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܚܘܒܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܀ |
| 5 And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all. | 5 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܟܪܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܐܟܪܝ ܐܠܐ ܒܨܝܪܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܠܟܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܐܩܪ ܡܠܬܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܀ |
| 6 To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many: | 6 ܟܕܘ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܠܗܢܐ ܟܐܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܀ |
| 7 So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. | 7 ܘܡܟܝܠ ܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܕܬܫܒܩܘܢ ܠܗ ܘܬܒܝܐܘܢܗ ܕܠܡܐ ܒܟܪܝܘܬܐ ܝܬܝܪܬܐ ܢܬܒܠܥ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܀ |
| 8 Wherefore, I beseech you, that you would confirm your charity towards him. | 8 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܬܫܪܪܘܢ ܒܗ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܀ |
| 9 For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things. | 9 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܬܒܬ ܐܦ ܕܐܕܥ ܒܢܤܝܢܐ ܐܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܡܫܬܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀ |
| 10 And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ. | 10 ܠܡܢ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܒܩܬ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܒܩܬ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܫܒܩܬ ܒܦܪܨܘܦܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀ |
| 11 That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices. | 11 ܕܠܐ ܢܥܠܒܢ ܤܛܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܫܒܬܗ ܀ |
| 12 And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened unto me in the Lord, | 12 ܟܕ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܠܛܪܘܐܤ ܒܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܐܬܦܬܚ ܠܝ ܬܪܥܐ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܀ |
| 13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia. | 13 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܢܝܚܐ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܠܛܛܘܤ ܐܚܝ ܐܠܐ ܫܪܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܦܩܬ ܠܝ ܠܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܀ |
| 14 Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place. | 14 ܛܝܒܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܟܠ ܙܒܢ ܚܙܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܢ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܓܠܐ ܒܢ ܪܝܚܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܗ ܒܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܀ |
| 15 For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish. | 15 ܪܝܚܐ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܤܝܡܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܐܝܢ ܘܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܒܕܝܢ ܀ |
| 16 To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient? | 16 ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܝܚܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܝܚܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܘܠܗܠܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܢܫܘܐ ܀ |
| 17 For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak. | 17 ܠܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܡܡܙܓܝܢ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܫܪܪܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢܢ ܀ |
