| 1 | But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. | Mais j'avais résolu en moi-même de ne revenir point chez vous avec tristesse. | But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow. |
| 2 | For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? | Car si je vous attriste, qui est-ce qui me réjouira, à moins que ce ne soit celui que j'aurai moi-même affligé? | For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me? |
| 3 | And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. | Et je vous ai même écrit ceci, afin que quand j'arriverai, je n'aie point de tristesse de la part de ceux de qui je devais recevoir de la joie, m'assurant de vous tous que ma joie est celle de vous tous. | And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all. |
| 4 | For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. | car je vous ai écrit dans une grande affliction et angoisse de coeur, avec beaucoup de larmes; non afin que vous fussiez attristés, mais afin que vous connussiez la charité toute particulière que j'ai pour vous. | For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly unto you. |
| 5 | But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. | Que si quelqu'un été cause de cette tristesse, ce n'est pas moi seul qu'il a affligé, mais en quelque sorte (afin que je ne le surcharge point) c'est vous tous qu'il a attristés. | But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all. |
| 6 | Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. | C'est assez pour un tel homme, de cette censure qui lui a été faite par plusieurs. | Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was [inflicted] by the many; |
| 7 | So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. | De sorte que vous devez plutôt lui faire grâce, et le consoler; afin qu'un tel homme ne soit point accablé par une trop grande tristesse. | so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow. |
| 8 | Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. | C'est pourquoi je vous prie de ratifier envers lui votre charité. | Wherefore I beseech you to confirm [your] love toward him. |
| 9 | For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. | Car c'est aussi pour cela que je vous ai écrit, afin de vous éprouver, et de connaître si vous êtes obéissants en toutes choses. | For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things. |
| 10 | To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; | Or à celui à qui vous pardonnez quelque chose, je pardonne aussi: car de ma part aussi si j'ai pardonné quelque chose à celui à qui j'ai pardonné, je l'ai fait à cause de vous, devant la face de Christ. | But to whom ye forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes [have I forgiven it] in the presence of Christ; |
| 11 | Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. | Afin que Satan n'ait pas le dessus sur nous: car nous n'ignorons pas ses machinations. | that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices. |
| 12 | Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, | Au reste, étant venu à Troas pour l'Evangile de Christ, quoique la porte m'y fût ouverte par le Seigneur, | Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord, |
| 13 | I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. | Je n'ai pourtant point eu de relâche en mon esprit, parce que je n'ai pas trouvé Tite mon frère; mais ayant pris congé d'eux, je m'en suis venu en Macédoine. | I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia. |
| 14 | Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. | Or grâces soient rendues à Dieu, qui nous fait toujours triompher en Christ, et qui manifeste par nous l'odeur de sa connaissance en tous lieux. | But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place. |
| 15 | For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: | Car nous sommes la bonne odeur de Christ de la part de Dieu, en ceux qui sont sauvés, et en ceux qui périssent: | For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish; |
| 16 | To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? | A ceux-ci, une odeur mortelle qui les tue; et à ceux-là, une odeur vivifiante qui les conduit à la vie. Mais qui est suffisant pour ces choses? | to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? |
| 17 | For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. | Car nous ne falsifions pas la parole de Dieu, comme font plusieurs; mais nous parlons de Christ avec sincérité, comme de la part de Dieu, et devant Dieu. | For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ. |
