2 Corinthians 12

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 I am boasting because I have to. Not that it does any good, but I wil move on to visions andrevelations from the Lord.	1 انه لا يوافقني ان افتخر. فاني آتي الى مناظر الرب واعلاناته.
2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago -- stil in the body? I do not know; or out of the body? Ido not know: God knows -- was caught up right into the third heaven.	2 اعرف انسانا في المسيح قبل اربع عشرة سنة أفي الجسد لست اعلم ام خارج الجسد لست اعلم. الله يعلم. اختطف هذا الى السماء الثالثة.
3 And I know that this man -- stil in the body? or outside the body? I do not know, God knows-	3 واعرف هذا الانسان أفي الجسد ام خارج الجسد لست اعلم. الله يعلم.
4 was caught up into Paradise and heard words said that cannot and may not be spoken by any humanbeing.	4 انه اختطف الى الفردوس وسمع كلمات لا ينطق بها ولا يسوغ لانسان ان يتكلم بها.
5 On behalf of someone like that I am wil ing to boast, but I am not going to boast on my own behalfexcept of my weaknesses;	5 من جهة هذا افتخر. ولكن من جهة نفسي لا افتخر الا بضعفاتي.
6 and then, if I do choose to boast I shal not be talking like a fool because I shal be speaking the truth.But I wil not go on in case anybody should rate me higher than he sees and hears me to be, because of theexceptional greatness of the revelations.	6 فاني ان اردت ان افتخر لا اكون غبيا لاني اقول الحق. ولكني اتحاشى لئلا يظن احد من جهتي فوق ما يراني او يسمع مني.
7 Wherefore, so that I should not get above myself, I was given a thorn in the flesh, a messenger fromSatan to batter me and prevent me from getting above myself.	7 ولئلا ارتفع بفرط الاعلانات اعطيت شوكة في الجسد ملاك الشيطان ليلطمني لئلا ارتفع.
8 About this, I have three times pleaded with the Lord that it might leave me;	8 من جهة هذا تضرعت الى الرب ثلاث مرات ان يفارقني.
9 but he has answered me, 'My grace is enough for you: for power is at ful stretch in weakness.' It is,then, about my weaknesses that I am happiest of al to boast, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me;	9 فقال لي تكفيك نعمتي لان قوتي في الضعف تكمل. فبكل سرور افتخر بالحري في ضعفاتي لكي تحل علي قوة المسيح.
10 and that is why I am glad of weaknesses, insults, constraints, persecutions and distress for Christ'ssake. For it is when I am weak that I am strong.	10 لذلك اسر بالضعفات والشتائم والضرورات والاضطهادات والضيقات لاجل المسيح. لاني حينما انا ضعيف فحينئذ انا قوي
11 I have turned into a fool, but you forced me to it. It is you that should have been commending me;those super-apostles had no advantage over me, even if I am nothing at all.	11 قد صرت غبيا وانا افتخر. انتم الزمتموني لانه كان ينبغي ان امدح منكم اذ لم انقص شيئا عن فائقي الرسل وان كنت لست شيئا.
12 Al the marks characteristic of a true apostle have been at work among you: complete perseverance,signs, marvels, demonstrations of power.	12 ان علامات الرسول صنعت بينكم في كل صبر بآيات وعجائب وقوات.
13 Is there any way in which you have been given less than the rest of the churches, except that I didnot make myself a burden to you? Forgive me for this unfairness!	13 لانه ما هو الذي نقصتم عن سائر الكنائس الا اني انا لم اثقل عليكم. سامحوني بهذا الظلم.
14 Here I am, ready to come to you for the third time and I am not going to be a burden on you: it is notyour possessions that I want, but yourselves. Children are not expected to save up for their parents, but parentsfor their children,	14 هوذا المرة الثالثة انا مستعد ان آتي اليكم ولا اثقل عليكم. لاني لست اطلب ما هو لكم بل اياكم. لانه لا ينبغي ان الاولاد يذخرون للوالدين بل الوالدون للاولاد.
15 and I am more than glad to spend what I have and to be spent for the sake of your souls. Is itbecause I love you so much more, that I am loved the less?	15 واما انا فبكل سرور انفق وانفق لاجل انفسكم وان كنت كلما احبكم اكثر أحب اقل.
16 Al right, then; I did not make myself a burden to you, but, trickster that I am, I caught you by trickery.	16 فيلكن. انا لم اثقل عليكم لكن اذ كنت محتالا اخذتكم بمكر.
17 Have I taken advantage of you through any of the people I have sent to you?	17 هل طمعت فيكم باحد من الذين ارسلتهم اليكم.
18 Titus came at my urging, and I sent his companion with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Canyou deny that he and I were fol owing the guidance of the same Spirit and were on the same tracks?	18 طلبت الى تيطس وارسلت معه الاخ. هل طمع فيكم تيطس. أما سلكنا بذات الروح الواحد. أما بذات الخطوات الواحدة
19 Al this time you have been thinking that we have been pleading our own cause before you; no, wehave been speaking in Christ and in the presence of God -- and all, dear friends, to build you up.	19 أتظنون ايضا اننا نحتج لكم. امام الله في المسيح نتكلم. ولكن الكل ايها الاحباء لاجل بنيانكم.
20 I am afraid that in one way or another, when I come, I may find you different from what I should likeyou to be, and you may find me what you would not like me to be; so that in one way or the other there wil berivalry, jealousy, bad temper, quarrels, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorders;	20 لاني اخاف اذا جئت ان لا اجدكم كما اريد وأوجد منكم كما لا تريدون. ان توجد خصومات ومحاسدات وسخطات وتحزبات ومذمات ونميمات وتكبرات وتشويشات.
21 and when I come again, my God may humiliate me in front of you and I shal be grieved by all thosewho sinned in the past and have stil not repented of the impurities and sexual immorality and debauchery thatthey have committed.	21 ان يذلني الهي عندكم اذا جئت ايضا وانوح على كثيرين من الذين اخطأوا من قبل ولم يتوبوا عن النجاسة والزنى والعهارة التي فعلوها
