2 Corinthians 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 But I myself, Paul, am begging you, through the meekness and modesty of Christ. I am certainly, by appearances, lowly among you, yet I have confidence in you, even while I am absent.	1 ثم اطلب اليكم بوداعة المسيح وحلمه انا نفسي بولس الذي في الحضرة ذليل بينكم واما في الغيبة فمتجاسر عليكم.
2 So I am petitioning you, lest I be bold, when present, with that bold confidence that I am considered to have by certain ones who judge us as if we were walking according to the flesh.	2 ولكن اطلب ان لا اتجاسر وانا حاضر بالثقة التي بها ارى اني ساجترئ على قوم يحسبوننا كاننا نسلك حسب الجسد.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh.	3 لاننا وان كنا نسلك في الجسد لسنا حسب الجسد نحارب.
4 For the weapons of our battles are not carnal, yet still they are powerful with God, unto the destruction of fortifications: tearing down every counsel	4 اذ اسلحة محاربتنا ليست جسدية بل قادرة بالله على هدم حصون.
5 and height that extols itself contrary to the wisdom of God, and leading every intellect into the captivity of obedience to Christ,	5 هادمين ظنونا وكل علو يرتفع ضد معرفة الله ومستأسرين كل فكر الى طاعة المسيح
6 and standing ready to repudiate every disobedience, when your own obedience has been fulfilled.	6 ومستعدين لان ننتقم على كل عصيان متى كملت طاعتكم
7 Consider the things that are in accord with appearances. If anyone trusts that by these things he belongs to Christ, let him reconsider this within himself. For just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.	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.
8 And if I were even to glory somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord has given to us for your edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed.	8 فاني وان افتخرت شيئا اكثر بسلطاننا الذي اعطانا اياه الرب لبنيانكم لا لهدمكم لا أخجل.
9 But let it not be said that I am scaring you by means of epistles.	9 لئلا اظهر كاني اخيفكم بالرسائل.
10 For they say: “His epistles, indeed, are weighty and strong. But his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is contemptible.”	10 لانه يقول الرسائل ثقيلة وقوية واما حضور الجسد فضعيف والكلام حقير.
11 Let someone like this realize that whatever we are in word through epistles, while absent: we are much the same in deed, while present.	11 مثل هذا فليحسب هذا اننا كما نحن في الكلام بالرسائل ونحن غائبون هكذا نكون ايضا بالفعل ونحن حاضرون.
12 For we would not dare to interpose or compare ourselves with certain ones who commend themselves. But we measure ourselves by ourselves, and we compare ourselves with ourselves.	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.
13 Thus, we will not glory beyond our measure, but rather according to the measure of the limit which God has measured out to us, a measure which extends even to you.	13 ولكن نحن لا نفتخر الى ما لا يقاس بل حسب قياس القانون الذي قسمه لنا الله قياسا للبلوغ اليكم ايضا.
14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we are not able to reach as far as you are able. For we have gone even as far as you have in the Gospel of Christ.	14 لاننا لا نمدد انفسنا كاننا لسنا نبلغ اليكم. اذ قد وصلنا اليكم ايضا في انجيل المسيح.
15 We are not glorying immeasurably over the labors of others. Instead, we hold on to the hope of your growing faith, so as to be magnified in you, according to our own limits, but in abundance,	15 غير مفتخرين الى ما لا يقاس في اتعاب آخرين بل راجين اذا نما ايمانكم ان نتعظم بينكم حسب قانوننا بزيادة
16 and even so as to evangelize in those places that are beyond you, not in order to glory in the measure of others, but rather in those things which have already been prepared.	16 لنبشر الى ما وراءكم. لا لنفتخر بالامور المعدة في قانون غيرنا
17 But whoever glories, let him glory in the Lord.	17 واما من افتخر فليفتخر بالرب.
18 For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but rather he whom God commends.	18 لانه ليس من مدح نفسه هو المزكى بل من يمدحه الرب
