2 Corinthians 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 But I determined this within myself, not to return again to you in sorrow.	1 Statui autem hoc ipsum apud me, ne iterum in tristitia venirem ad vos.
2 For if I make you sorrowful, then who is it that can make me glad, except the one who is made sorrowful by me?	2 Si enim ego contristo vos : et quis est, qui me lætificet, nisi qui contristatur ex me ?
3 And so, I wrote this same thing to you, so that I might not, when I arrive, add sorrow to sorrow for those with whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you in all things, so that my joy may be entirely yours.	3 Et hoc ipsum scripsi vobis, ut non cum venero, tristitiam super tristitiam habeam, de quibus oportuerat me gaudere : confidens in omnibus vobis, quia meum gaudium, omnium vestrum est.
4 For with much tribulation and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not so that you would be sorrowful, but so that you might know the charity that I have more abundantly toward you.	4 Nam ex multa tribulatione et angustia cordis scripsi vobis per multas lacrimas : non ut contristemini, sed ut sciatis, quam caritatem habeam abundantius in vobis.
5 But if anyone has brought sorrow, he has not sorrowed me. Yet, for my part, this is so that I might not burden all of you.	5 Si quis autem contristavit, non me contristavit : sed ex parte, ut non onerem omnes vos.
6 Let this rebuke be sufficient for someone like this, for it has been brought by many.	6 Sufficit illi, qui ejusmodi est, objurgatio hæc, quæ fit a pluribus :
7 So then, to the contrary, you should be more forgiving and consoling, lest perhaps someone like this may be overwhelmed with excessive sorrow.	7 ita ut e contrario magis donetis, et consolemini, ne forte abundantiori tristitia absorbeatur qui ejusmodi est.
8 Because of this, I beg you to confirm your charity toward him.	8 Propter quod obsecro vos, ut confirmetis in illum caritatem.
9 It was for this reason, also, that I wrote, so that I might know, by testing you, whether you would be obedient in all things.	9 Ideo enim et scripsi, ut cognoscam experimentum vestrum, an in omnibus obedientes sitis.
10 But anyone whom you have forgiven of anything, I also forgive. And then, too, anyone I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it was done in the person of Christ for your sakes,	10 Cui autem aliquid donastis, et ego : nam et ego quod donavi, si quid donavi, propter vos in persona Christi,
11 so that we would not be circumvented by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his intentions.	11 ut non circumveniamur a Satana : non enim ignoramus cogitationes ejus.
12 And when I had arrived at Troas, because of the Gospel of Christ, and a door had opened to me in the Lord,	12 Cum venissem autem Troadem propter Evangelium Christi, et ostium mihi apertum esset in Domino,
13 I had no rest within my spirit, because I was not able to find Titus, my brother. So, saying goodbye to them, I set out for Macedonia.	13 non habui requiem spiritui meo, eo quod non invenerim Titum fratrem meum, sed valefaciens eis, profectus sum in Macedoniam.
14 But thanks be to God, who always brings triumph to us in Christ Jesus, and who manifests the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place.	14 Deo autem gratias, qui semper triumphat nos in Christo Jesu, et odorem notitiæ suæ manifestat per nos in omni loco :
15 For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ for God, both with those who are being saved and with those who are perishing.	15 quia Christi bonus odor sumus Deo in iis qui salvi fiunt, et in iis qui pereunt :
16 To the one, certainly, the fragrance is of death unto death. But to the other, the fragrance is of life unto life. And concerning these things, who is so suitable?	16 aliis quidem odor mortis in mortem : aliis autem odor vitæ in vitam. Et ad hæc quis tam idoneus ?
17 For we are not like many others, adulterating the Word of God. But instead, we speak with sincerity: from God, before God, and in Christ.	17 non enim sumus sicut plurimi, adulterantes verbum Dei, sed ex sinceritate, sed sicut ex Deo, coram Deo, in Christo loquimur.
