SMITH VAN DYKEKING JAMES BIBLE
1 ثم اطلب اليكم بوداعة المسيح وحلمه انا نفسي بولس الذي في الحضرة ذليل بينكم واما في الغيبة فمتجاسر عليكم.1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
2 ولكن اطلب ان لا اتجاسر وانا حاضر بالثقة التي بها ارى اني ساجترئ على قوم يحسبوننا كاننا نسلك حسب الجسد.2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3 لاننا وان كنا نسلك في الجسد لسنا حسب الجسد نحارب.3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 اذ اسلحة محاربتنا ليست جسدية بل قادرة بالله على هدم حصون.4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 هادمين ظنونا وكل علو يرتفع ضد معرفة الله ومستأسرين كل فكر الى طاعة المسيح5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 ومستعدين لان ننتقم على كل عصيان متى كملت طاعتكم6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7 اتنظرون الى ما هو حسب الحضرة. ان وثق احد بنفسه انه للمسيح فليحسب هذا ايضا من نفسه انه كما هو للمسيح كذلك نحن ايضا للمسيح.7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.
8 فاني وان افتخرت شيئا اكثر بسلطاننا الذي اعطانا اياه الرب لبنيانكم لا لهدمكم لا أخجل.8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
9 لئلا اظهر كاني اخيفكم بالرسائل.9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10 لانه يقول الرسائل ثقيلة وقوية واما حضور الجسد فضعيف والكلام حقير.10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
11 مثل هذا فليحسب هذا اننا كما نحن في الكلام بالرسائل ونحن غائبون هكذا نكون ايضا بالفعل ونحن حاضرون.11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
12 لاننا لا نجترئ ان نعد انفسنا بين قوم من الذين يمدحون انفسهم ولا ان نقابل انفسنا بهم. بل هم اذ يقيسون انفسهم على انفسهم ويقابلون انفسهم بانفسهم لا يفهمون.12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
13 ولكن نحن لا نفتخر الى ما لا يقاس بل حسب قياس القانون الذي قسمه لنا الله قياسا للبلوغ اليكم ايضا.13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
14 لاننا لا نمدد انفسنا كاننا لسنا نبلغ اليكم. اذ قد وصلنا اليكم ايضا في انجيل المسيح.14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
15 غير مفتخرين الى ما لا يقاس في اتعاب آخرين بل راجين اذا نما ايمانكم ان نتعظم بينكم حسب قانوننا بزيادة15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
16 لنبشر الى ما وراءكم. لا لنفتخر بالامور المعدة في قانون غيرنا16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
17 واما من افتخر فليفتخر بالرب.17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18 لانه ليس من مدح نفسه هو المزكى بل من يمدحه الرب18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
