| 1 | Il est vrai qu'il est sans profit pour moi de me glorifier, car j'en viendrai à des visions et à des révélations du Seigneur. | It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. | I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. |
| 2 | Je connais un homme en Christ, qui, il y a quatorze ans (si ce fut dans le corps, je ne sais; si ce fut hors du corps, je ne sais: Dieu le sait), je connais un tel homme qui a été ravi jusqu'au troisième ciel. | I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. | I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven. |
| 3 | Et je connais un tel homme, (si ce fut dans le corps, si ce fut hors du corps, je ne sais, Dieu le sait,) | And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) | And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth), |
| 4 | -qu'il a été ravi dans le paradis, et a entendu des paroles ineffables qu'il n'est pas permis à l'homme d'exprimer. | How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. | how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. |
| 5 | Je me glorifierai d'un tel homme, mais je ne me glorifierai pas de moi-même, si ce n'est dans mes infirmités. | Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. | On behalf of such a one will I glory: but on mine own behalf I will not glory, save in [my] weaknesses. |
| 6 | Car quand je voudrais me glorifier, je ne serais pas insensé, car je dirais la vérité; mais je m'en abstiens, de peur que quelqu'un ne m'estime au-dessus de ce qu'il me voit être ou de ce qu'il a pu entendre dire de moi. | For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. | For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or heareth from me. |
| 7 | Et afin que je ne m'enorgueillisse pas à cause de l'extraordinaire des révélations, il m'a été donné une écharde pour la chair, un ange de Satan pour me souffleter, afin que je ne m'enorgueillisse pas. | And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. | And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch. |
| 8 | A ce sujet j'ai supplié trois fois le Seigneur, afin qu'elle se retirât de moi; | For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. | Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. |
| 9 | et il m'a dit: Ma grâce te suffit, car ma puissance s'accomplit dans l'infirmité. Je me glorifierai donc très-volontiers plutôt dans mes infirmités, afin que la puissance du Christ demeure sur moi. | And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. | And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for [my] power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. |
| 10 | C'est pourquoi je prends plaisir dans les infirmités, dans les outrages, dans les nécessités, dans les persécutions, dans les détresses pour Christ: car quand je suis faible, alors je suis fort. | Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. | Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ`s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. |
| 11 | Je suis devenu insensé: vous m'y avez contraint; car moi, j'aurais dû être recommandé par vous; car je n'ai été en rien moindre que les plus excellents apôtres, quoique je ne sois rien. | I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. | I am become foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I am nothing. |
| 12 | Certainement les signes d'un apôtre ont été opérés au milieu de vous avec toute patience, par signes, et des prodiges, et des miracles. | Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. | Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works. |
| 13 | Car en quoi avez-vous été inférieurs aux autres assemblées, sinon en ce que moi-même je ne vous ai pas été à charge? Pardonnez-moi ce tort. | For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. | For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except [it be] that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong. |
| 14 | Voici, cette troisième fois, je suis prêt à aller auprès de vous; et je ne vous serai pas à charge, car je ne cherche pas vos biens, mais vous-mêmes; car ce ne sont pas les enfants qui doivent amasser pour leurs parents, mais les parents pour leurs enfants. | Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. | Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. |
| 15 | Or moi, très-volontiers je dépenserai et je serai entièrement dépensé pour vos âmes, si même, vous aimant beaucoup plus, je devais être moins aimé. | And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. | And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less? |
| 16 | Mais soit! moi, je ne vous ai pas été à charge, mais, étant rusé, je vous ai pris par finesse. | But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. | But be it so, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile. |
| 17 | Me suis-je enrichi à vos dépens par aucun de ceux que je vous ai envoyés? | Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? | Did I take advantage of you by any one of them whom I have sent unto you? |
| 18 | J'ai prié Tite et j'ai envoyé le frère avec lui. Tite s'est-il enrichi à vos dépens? N'avons-nous pas marché dans le même esprit? N'avons-nous pas marché sur les mêmes traces? | I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps? | I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? [walked we] not in the same steps? |
| 19 | Vous avez longtemps pensé que nous nous justifions auprès de vous. Nous parlons devant Dieu en Christ, et toutes choses, bien-aimés, pour votre édification. | Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. | Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ. But all things, beloved, [are] for your edifying. |
| 20 | Car je crains que, quand j'arriverai, je ne vous trouve pas tels que je voudrais, et que moi je ne sois trouvé par vous tel que vous ne voudriez pas, et qu'il n'y ait des querelles, des jalousies, des colères, des intrigues, des médisances, des insinuations, des enflures d'orgueil, | For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: | For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means [there should be] strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults; |
| 21 | des désordres, et qu'étant de nouveau revenu au milieu de vous, mon Dieu ne m'humilie quant à vous, et que je ne sois affligé à l'occasion de plusieurs de ceux qui ont péché auparavant et qui ne se sont pas repentis de l'impureté et de la fornication et de l'impudicité qu'ils ont commises. | And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. | lest again when I come my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of them that have sinned heretofore, and repented not of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they committed. |
