STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 פּוֹלוֹס שְׁלִיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בִּרְצוֹן אֱלֹהִים וְטִימוֹתִיּוֹס אָחִינוּ אֶל־קְהִלַּת אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר בְּקוֹרִנְתּוֹס עִם כָּל־הַקְּדשִׁים אֲשֶׁר בַּאֲכַיָּא	1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy, a brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all of Achaia:
2 חֶסֶד לָכֶם וְשָׁלוֹם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים אָבִינוּ וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 בָּרוּךְ הָאֱלֹהִים וַאֲבִי אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אַב הָרַחֲמִים וֵאלֹהֵי כָּל־הַנֶּחָמָה	3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation.
4 הַמְנַחֵם אֹתָנוּ בְּכָל־לַחֲצֵנוּ עַד־שֶׁנּוּכַל לְנַחֵם הַנִּלְחָצִים בְּכָל־לַחַץ בַּנֶּחָמָה אֲשֶׁר אֲנַחְנוּ מְנֻחָמִים בָּהּ מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים	4 He consoles us in all our tribulation, so that we too may be able to console those who are in any kind of distress, through the exhortation by which we also are being exhorted by God.
5 כִּי כְּרֹב עִנּוּיֵי הַמָּשִׁיחַ בָּנוּ כֵּן תִּרְבֶּה נֶחָמָתֵנוּ עַל־יְדֵי הַמָּשִׁיחַ	5 For just as the Passion of Christ abounds in us, so also, through Christ, does our consolation abound.
6 וְהִנֵּה אִם־נִלָּחֵץ הוּא לְנֶחָמַתְכֶם וְלִישׁוּעַתְכֶם אֲשֶׁר יֵרָאֶה כֹחָהּ בְּסָבְלְכֶם הָעִנּוּיִם אֲשֶׁר נִסְבֹּל אֹתָן גַּם־אֲנַחְנוּ וְאִם־נְנֻחַם גַּם־הוּא לְנֶחָמַתְכֶם וְלִישׁוּעַתְכֶם	6 So, if we are in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation, or if we are in consolation, it is for your consolation, or if we are exhorted, it is for your exhortation and salvation, which results in the patience endurance of the same passion which we also endure.
7 וְתִקְוָתֵנוּ בַעַדְכֶם נְכוֹנָה הִיא בַּאֲשֶׁר יָדַעְנוּ כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר חֵלֶק לָכֶם בָּעִנּוּיִם כֵּן גַּם־חֵלֶק לָכֶם בַּנֶּחָמָה	7 So may our hope for you be made firm, knowing that, just as you are participants in the suffering, so also shall you be participants in the consolation.
8 כִּי לֹא־נְכַחֵד מִכֶּם אַחַי אֶת־צָרָתֵנוּ אֲשֶׁר מְצָאַתְנוּ בְּאַסְיָא אֲשֶׁר כָּבְדָה עָלֵינוּ עַד־לִמְאֹד וְיוֹתֵר מִכֹּחֵנוּ עַד כִּי־נוֹאַשְׁנוּ מִן־הַחַיִּים	8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about our tribulation, which happened to us in Asia. For we were weighed down beyond measure, beyond our strength, so that we became weary, even of life itself.
9 וַאֲנַחְנוּ בִלְבָבֵנוּ חָרַצְנוּ לָנוּ אֶת־הַמָּוֶת לְמַעַן לֹא־נִהְיֶה בֹטְחִים בְּנַפְשֵׁנוּ כִּי אִם־בֵּאלֹהִים הַמְחַיֶּה אֶת־הַמֵּתִים	9 But we had within ourselves the response to death, so that we would not have faith in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.
10 אֲשֶׁר הִצִּילָנוּ מִמָּוֶת כָּזֶה וְעוֹדֶנּוּ מַצִּיל וְלוֹ אֲנַחְנוּ מְקַוִּים כִּי יוֹסִיף לְהַצִּילֵנוּ	10 He has rescued us, and he is rescuing us, from great peril. In him, we hope that he will continue to rescue us.
11 בַּעֲזָרְכֶם אֹתָנוּ בִּתְפִלַּתְכֶם לְמַעַן יוֹדוּ רַבִּים בַּעֲדֵנוּ עַל־מַתְּנַת הַחֶסֶד שֶׁהָיְתָה לָּנוּ עַל־יְדֵי רַבִּים	11 And you are assisting, with your prayers for us, so that from many persons, by that which is a gift in us, thanks may be given through many persons, because of us.
12 כִּי זֹאת הִיא תְהִלָּתֵנוּ עֵדוּת לְבָבֵנוּ אֲשֶׁר בְּתֹם וְישֶׁר אֱלֹהִים הִתְהַלַּכְנוּ בָעוֹלָם וּבְיוֹתֵר אִתְּכֶם וְלֹא־בְחָכְמַת הַבָּשָׂר כִּי אִם־בְּחֶסֶד אֱלֹהִים	12 For our glory is this: the testimony of our conscience, which is found in simplicity of heart and in sincerity toward God. And it is not with worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God, that we have conversed with this world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 כִּי לֹא־נִכְתֹּב לָכֶם כִּי אִם־מַה־שֶּׁאַתֶּם קֹרְאִים אוֹ גַם־יֹדְעִים	13 For we write nothing else to you other than what you have read and understood. And I hope that you will continue to understand, even unto the end.
14 וַאֲקַוֶּה כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר יְדַעְתֶּם אֹתָנוּ לְמִקְצָת אַף־תֵּדְעוּ עַד־תַּכְלִית כִּי אֲנַחְנוּ תְּהִלַּתְכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־אַתֶּם תְּהִלָּתֵנוּ בְּיוֹם אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ	14 And just as you have acknowledged us in our role, that we are your glory, so also you are ours, unto the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 וּבַבִּטָּחוֹן הַזֶּה חָפַצְתִּי לָבוֹא אֲלֵיכֶם מֵרֹאשׁ לְמַעַן תְּקַבְּלוּ טוֹבָה פַּעֲמָיִם	15 And with this confidence, I wanted to come to you sooner, so that you might have a second grace,
16 לַעֲבֹר בְּתוֹכְכֶם אֶל־מַקְדּוֹנְיָא וְלָשׁוּב מִמַּקְדּוֹנְיָא אֲלֵיכֶם וְאַתֶּם תְּשַׁלְּחוּנִי אֶל־אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה	16 and through you to pass into Macedonia, and to return to you again from Macedonia, and so be led by you on my way to Judea.
17 וְעַתָּה הֲכִי נִמְהָר הָיִיתִי בַּעֲצָתִי אִם־אֲשֶׁר יָעַצְתִּי לְפִי הַבָּשָׂר יָעָצְתִּי וְהָיָה אֶצְלִי פַּעַם הֵן הֵן וּפַעַם לֹא לֹא	17 Then, although I had intended this, did I act lightly? Or in the things that I consider, do I consider according to the flesh, so that there would be, with me, both Yes and No?
18 אָכֵן נֶאֱמָן הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי־דְבָרֵנוּ אֲלֵיכֶם לֹא הָיָה הֵן וָלֹא	18 But God is faithful, so our word, which was set before you, was not, in him, both Yes and No.
19 כִּי בֶן־הָאֱלֹהִים יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַנִּקְרָא בְתוֹכְכֶם עַל־יָדֵינוּ עַל־יָדִי וְעַל־יְדֵי סִלְוָנוֹס וְטִימוֹתִיּוֹס הוּא לֹא הָיָה הֵן וָלֹא כִּי־הָיוֹ הָיָה בוֹ רַק־הֵן	19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you through us, through myself and Sylvanus and Timothy, was not Yes, and No; but was simply Yes in him.
20 כִּי כָּל־הַבְטָחוֹת הָאֱלֹהִים כֻּלָּן בּוֹ הָיוּ הֵן וּבוֹ הָיוּ אָמֵן לִכְבוֹד הָאֱלֹהִים עַל־יָדֵינוּ	20 For whatever promises are of God are, in him, Yes. For this reason, too, through him: Amen to God for our glory.
21 וְהַמְכוֹנֵן אוֹתָנוּ אִתְּכֶם בַּמָּשִׁיחַ וַאֲשֶׁר מְשָׁחָנוּ הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים	21 Now the One who confirms us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, is God.
22 אֲשֶׁר גַּם־חֲתָמָנוּ וַאֲשֶׁר נָתַן בְּלִבֵּנוּ אֵת עֶרְבוֹן הָרוּחַ	22 And he has sealed us, and he has placed the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 וַאֲנִי אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים אֶקְרָא לִהְיוֹת עֵד לְנַפְשִׁי כִּי בַּעֲבוּר הֱיוֹתִי חָס עֲלֵיכֶם לֹא־בָאתִי עוֹד לְקוֹרִנְתּוֹס	23 But I call God as a witness to my soul, that I was lenient with you, in that I did not return to Corinth:
24 לֹא שֶׁנִּמְשֹׁל בֶּאֱמוּנַתְכֶם כִּי אִם־עֹזְרִים אֲנַחְנוּ לְשִׂמְחַתְכֶם כִּי בָאֱמוּנָה עֲמַדְתֶּם	24 not because we have dominion over your faith, but because we are assistants of your joy. For by faith you stand.
