Qorintiyim Bĕt (2 Corinthians) 1
1
1Sha’ul, an emissary of יהושע Messiah, by the desire of Elohim, and Timotiyos the brother, to the assembly of Elohim that is at Corinth, with all the set-apart ones who are in all Achaia:
2Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah.
3Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, the Father of compassion and Elohim of all comfort,
4who is comforting us in all our pressure, enabling us to comfort those who are in every pressure, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by Elohim.
5Because, as the sufferings of Messiah overflow in us, so our comfort also overflows through Messiah.
6And if we suffer pressure, it is for your comfort and deliverance, being worked out in enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort and deliverance.
7And our expectation for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are sharing in the sufferings – so also in the comfort.
8For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of our pressure which came to us in Asia, that we were weighed down, exceedingly,#See 2Cor. 4:8, 9; 2Cor. 4:17 beyond ability, so that we despaired even of life.
9Indeed, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in Elohim who raises the dead,
10who rescued us from so great a death, and does rescue, in whom we trust that He shall still rescue us,
11you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks shall be given by many on our behalf for the favour bestowed upon us through many.
12For our boasting is this: the witness of our conscience that we behaved ourselves in the world in simplicity and sincerity of Elohim, not in fleshly wisdom but in the favour of Elohim, and much more toward you.
13For we are not writing any other matters to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you shall understand, even to the end,
14as also you have understood us in part, that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Master יהושע.
15And relying on this I intended to come to you before, that you might twice receive a favour,
16and to pass your way into Makedonia, and again from Makedonia come to you, and to be sent by you on my way to Yehuḏah.
17Since I intended this, did I do it lightly? Or what I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?
18But Elohim is trustworthy, that our word to you was not Yes and No.
19For the Son of Elohim, יהושע Messiah, who was proclaimed among you by us – by me, Silas, and Timotiyos – was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.
20For as many promises as are of Elohim, in Him they are Yes, and in Him Amĕn, to the esteem of Elohim through us.
21But He who establishes us with you in Messiah and has anointed us is Elohim,
22who also sealed us, and gave the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
23And I call Elohim as witness against my being, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.
24Not that we rule over your belief, but we are fellow workers for your joy, for you stand by belief.

2 Corinthians 1
1
1From Sha'ul, a Shliach of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua birtzon Hashem (by the will of G-d), and Timotiyos, the Ach b'Moshiach; To the Kehillah (Congregation) of Hashem existing in Corinth, with all the Kedoshim throughout Achaia.
2Chen v'Chesed Hashem to you and shalom from Elohim Avinu and Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
3Baruch hu Hashem Elohim Avi of Adoneinu Yehoshua HaMoshiach, Avi HaRachamim vaElohei kol nechamah (comfort),#1:3 Ps 103:13; Isa 66:13
4The one giving us chizzuk (strengthening) with respect to all our tzoros so as to enable us to give chizzuk to the ones experiencing tzoros, and that through the nechamah (comfort) by which we ourselves are comforted#1:4 1C 1:3 by Hashem.#1:4 Isa 49:13; 51:12; 66:13
5This is so because as the Chevlei Moshiach (birth pangs of Moshiach) abound to us, so through Moshiach abounds also our nechamah.#1:5 1C 1:3; Isa 51:12; Ps 34:19; 94:19
6Now if we are experiencing tzoros, it is for your chizzuk (strengthening) and Yeshu'at Eloheinu; or if we are being given nechamah (comfort), it is for your nechamah that is producing in you the chozek (strength) of savlanut (patience) for the endurance of the tzoros which we also suffer.#1:6 1Th 3:3
7And our tikvah (hope) for you is well-founded, for we have da'as that as you have deveykus (cleaving to) the Chevlei Moshiach, so also you will have deveykus to the nechamah.
8For we do not want you to lack da'as, Achim b'Moshiach, as to the tzoros and tribulation that came upon us in Asia,#1:8 Ac 19:23; 1C 15:32 that utterly beyond our strength we were burdened, causing us to come to a feeling of ye'ush (despair) even of being able to stay alive.
9But we ourselves have had the gezar din (verdict) of mishpat mavet (a death sentence) in ourselves so that we should not have emunah (faith) in ourselves but in Hashem, Mechayyei Mesim (Who Revivest the Dead).#1:9 Shemoneh Esreh, Jer 17:5,7
10The same G-d out of so great a Mavet delivered us and will continue to deliver us. We have set tikvateinu (our hope) that he will yet deliver us,#1:10 2Ti 4:18
11As you also labor together for us by techinnah (supplication), so that the “Modeh Ani” for us will be said by the many#1:11 Isa 53:11-12 for the matanah (gift) granted us through the tefillos of the many.
12For our glorying is in this: the edut (testimony) of our matzpun (conscience)#1:12 MJ 13:18 is that without remiyah (guile, fraud, deceit) and with lev tahor#1:12 Ps 51:12 (pure heart ), with the sincerity of Hashem#1:12 2C 2:17 and not in the “chochmah” of the basar#1:12 1C 1:17 but in the Chen v'Chesed of Hashem, we conducted ourselves in the Olam Hazeh, and more especially toward you.
13For we write nothing so shver (complex) to you that you cannot read and have binah (understanding), and I have tikvah that you will have da'as shlemah until HaKetz,
14As you have already had da'as of us in part, as also we are your kavod,#1:14 2C 5:12 even as also you are ours in the Yom Hashem of Adoneinu Yehoshua.#1:14 Pp 2:16
15And with this bitachon (confidence) I planned previously to come to you, that a second benefit you might have.
16It was my cheshbon (plan) to visit you by way of Macedonia and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be sent on to Yehudah (Judea).#1:16 Ac 19:21; 1C 16:5,6
17This was my matarah (aim, goal); surely then I did not act with vacillation? Or when I make plans,#1:17 2C 5:16 do I have a cheshbon according to the basar, ready with “Ken, Ken!” and then, “Lo! Lo!”
18Al emunat Hashem (in the faithfulness of G-d), our dvar to you has not been “Ken” and “Lo.”
19For the Zun fun der Oybershter, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, the One having been proclaimed among you by us, by Sila and Timotiyos and me,#1:19 Ac 18:5 was not a “Ken and Lo”; but in Him it has always been “Ken.”
20For in Moshiach every one of Hashemʼs havtachot (promises) is a “Ken.” For this reason it is b'Shem Moshiach that we say the “Omein” to the kavod of Hashem.#1:20 1C 14:16; Rv 3:14
21But it is Hashem who establishes us with you in Moshiach and has given us the mishchah#1:21 1Y 2:27 (anointing),
22Having put his chotam#1:22 seal of ownership Gn 38:18; Ezek 9:4; Ep 1:13; 4:30; Rv 7:4 on us and having given the eravon (pledge) of the Ruach Hakodesh in our levavot#1:22 Ro 8:16; 2C 5:5; Ep 1:14 (hearts).#1:22 Gn 38:18; Ezek 9:4; Hag 2:23
23Now, I call upon Hashem as eidus (witness) against my nefesh, my neshamah (soul), that it was to spare you that I did not come again to Corinth.#1:23 Ro 1:9; 2C 11:31; Pp 1:8; 1Th 2:5,10
24Not that we play the gontser macher to domineer over your emunah (faith),#1:24 1K 5:3 but we are fellow po'alim for your simcha, for by emunah you stand.
