English Standard Version ESV
1 ESTO pues determiné para conmigo, no venir otra vez á vosotros con tristeza.
1
For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.
2 Porque si yo os contristo, ¿quién será luego el que me alegrará, sino aquel á quien yo contristare?
2
For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained?
3 Y esto mismo os escribí, porque cuando llegare no tenga tristeza sobre tristeza de los que me debiera gozar; confiando en vosotros todos que mi gozo es el de todos vosotros.
3
And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.
4 Porque por la mucha tribulación y angustia del corazón os escribí con muchas lágrimas; no para que fueseis contristados, mas para que supieseis cuánto más amor tengo para con vosotros.
4
For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.
5 Que si alguno me contristó, no me contristó á mí, sino en parte, por no cargaros, á todos vosotros.
5
Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.
6 Bástale al tal esta reprensión hecha de muchos;
6
For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough,
7 Así que, al contrario, vosotros más bien lo perdonéis y consoléis, porque no sea el tal consumido de demasiada tristeza.
7
so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
8 Por lo cual os ruego que confirméis el amor para con él.
8
So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.
9 Porque también por este fin os escribí, para tener experiencia de vosotros si sois obedientes en todo.
9
For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.
10 Y al que vosotros perdonareis, yo también: porque también yo lo que he perdonado, si algo he perdonado, por vosotros lo he hecho en persona de Cristo;
10
Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,
11 Porque no seamos engañados de Satanás: pues no ignoramos sus maquinaciones.
11
so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
12 Cuando vine á Troas para el evangelio de Cristo, aunque me fué abierta puerta en el Señor,
12
When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord,
13 No tuve reposo en mi espíritu, por no haber hallado á Tito mi hermano: así, despidiéndome de ellos, partí para Macedonia.
13
my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.
14 Mas á Dios gracias, el cual hace que siempre triunfemos en Cristo Jesús, y manifiesta el olor de su conocimiento por nosotros en todo lugar.
14
But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.
15 Porque para Dios somos buen olor de Cristo en los que se salvan, y en los que se pierden:
15
For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,
16 A éstos ciertamente olor de muerte para muerte; y á aquéllos olor de vida para vida. Y para estas cosas ¿quién es suficiente?
16
to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
17 Porque no somos como muchos, mercaderes falsos de la palabra de Dios: antes con sinceridad, como de Dios, delante de Dios, hablamos en Cristo.
17
For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
