| 1 | Je résolus donc en moi-même de ne pas retourner chez vous dans la tristesse. | But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. | But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow. | Or io avevo determinato in me stesso di non venire di nuovo da voi con tristezza. |
| 2 | Car si je vous attriste, qui peut me réjouir, sinon celui qui est attristé par moi ? | For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? | For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me? | Perché se io vi rattristo, chi mi rallegrerà, se non colui stesso che sarà stato da me rattristato? |
| 3 | J'ai écrit comme je l'ai fait pour ne pas éprouver, à mon arrivée, de la tristesse de la part de ceux qui devaient me donner de la joie, ayant en vous tous cette confiance que ma joie est la vôtre à tous. | 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. | 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. | E vi ho scritto in quel modo affinché, alla mia venuta, non avessi tristezza da coloro che dovrebbero rallegrarmi, avendo fiducia in voi tutti che la mia gioia è quella di voi tutti. |
| 4 | C'est dans une grande affliction, le coeur angoissé, et avec beaucoup de larmes, que je vous ai écrit, non pas afin que vous fussiez attristés, mais afin que vous connussiez l'amour extrême 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 grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. | 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. | Vi ho scritto infatti con molte lacrime e con grande afflizione e angoscia di cuore, non perché foste rattristati, ma perché conosciate il grandissimo amore che ho per voi. |
| 5 | Si quelqu'un a été une cause de tristesse, ce n'est pas moi qu'il a attristé, c'est vous tous, du moins en partie, pour ne rien exagérer. | But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. | 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. | E se qualcuno ha causato tristezza, non ha rattristato me, ma in parte, per non esagerare, voi tutti. |
| 6 | Il suffit pour cet homme du châtiment qui lui a été infligé par le plus grand nombre, | Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. | Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was [inflicted] by the many; | Basta a quel tale la punizione inflittagli dalla maggioranza |
| 7 | en sorte que vous devez bien plutôt lui pardonner et le consoler, de peur qu'il ne soit accablé par une tristesse excessive. | So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. | 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. | ma ora, al contrario, dovreste piuttosto perdonarlo e consolarlo, perché talora quell'uomo non sia sommerso dalla troppa tristezza. |
| 8 | Je vous exhorte donc à faire acte de charité envers lui ; | Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. | Wherefore I beseech you to confirm [your] love toward him. | Vi prego perciò di confermargli il vostro amore |
| 9 | car je vous ai écrit aussi dans le but de connaître, en vous mettant à l'épreuve, 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 be obedient in all things. | For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things. | perché vi ho anche scritto per questo, per sapere alla prova se siete ubbidienti in ogni cosa. |
| 10 | Or, à qui vous pardonnez, je pardonne aussi ; et ce que j'ai pardonné, si j'ai pardonné quelque chose, c'est à cause de vous, en présence de Christ, | 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; | 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; | Or a chi voi perdonate qualche cosa perdono anch'io, perché anch'io se ho perdonato qualcosa a chi ho perdonato. fatto per amor vostro davanti a Cristo, |
| 11 | afin de ne pas laisser à Satan l'avantage sur nous, car nous n'ignorons pas ses desseins. | Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. | that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices. | affinché non siamo sopraffatti da Satana, perché noi non ignoriamo le sue macchinazioni. |
| 12 | Au reste, lorsque je fus arrivé à Troas pour l'Évangile de Christ, quoique le Seigneur m'y eût ouvert une porte, je n'eus point de repos d'esprit, parce que je ne trouvai pas Tite, mon frère ; | Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, | Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord, | Ora, quando giunsi a Troas per l'evangelo di Cristo e mi fu aperta una porta nel Signore, |
| 13 | c'est pourquoi, ayant pris congé d'eux, je partis pour la Macédoine. | 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. | 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. | non ebbi alcuna requie nel mio spirito, per non avervi trovato Tito, mio fratello: perciò congedandomi da loro, me ne andai in Macedonia. |
| 14 | Grâces soient rendues à Dieu, qui nous fait toujours triompher en Christ, et qui répand par nous en tout lieu l'odeur de sa connaissance ! | 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. | 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. | Or sia ringraziato Dio il quale ci fa sempre trionfare in Cristo e attraverso noi manifesta in ogni luogo il profumo della sua conoscenza. |
| 15 | Nous sommes, en effet, pour Dieu la bonne odeur de Christ, parmi ceux qui sont sauvés et parmi ceux qui périssent : | For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: | For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish; | Perché noi siamo per Dio il buon odore di Cristo fra quelli che sono salvati, e fra quelli che periscono; |
| 16 | aux uns, une odeur de mort, donnant la mort ; aux autres, une odeur de vie, donnant la vie. -Et qui est suffisant pour ces choses ? - | 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? | 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? | per questi un odore di morte a morte, ma per quelli un odore di vita a vita. E chi è sufficiente a queste cose? |
| 17 | Car nous ne falsifions point la parole de Dieu, comme font plusieurs ; mais c'est avec sincérité, mais c'est de la part de Dieu, que nous parlons en Christ devant Dieu. | 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. | 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. | Noi non falsifichiamo infatti la parola di Dio come molti altri, ma parliamo in sincerità come da parte di Dio davanti a Dio in Cristo. |
