2 Corinthians 2
1 But I determined this in myself, not to come again to you in sadness.
aparañcāhaṁ punaḥ śōkāya yuṣmatsannidhiṁ na gamiṣyāmīti manasi niracaiṣaṁ|
2 For if I make you sad, who then is he who makes me glad except he who is made sad by me?
yasmād ahaṁ yadi yuṣmān śōkayuktān karōmi tarhi mayā yaḥ śōkayuktīkr̥tastaṁ vinā kēnāparēṇāhaṁ harṣayiṣyē?
3 And I wrote this same thing to you, so that when I came, I would not have sadness from whom I ought to rejoice, having been confident toward you all, because my joy is of all of you.
mama yō harṣaḥ sa yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ harṣa ēvēti niścitaṁ mayābōdhi; ataēva yairahaṁ harṣayitavyastai rmadupasthitisamayē yanmama śōkō na jāyēta tadarthamēva yuṣmabhyam ētādr̥śaṁ patraṁ mayā likhitaṁ|
4 For out of much stress and dismay of heart, through many tears, I wrote to you, not that ye would be grieved, but that ye might know the love that I have so much more for you.
vastutastu bahuklēśasya manaḥpīḍāyāśca samayē'haṁ bahvaśrupātēna patramēkaṁ likhitavān yuṣmākaṁ śōkārthaṁ tannahi kintu yuṣmāsu madīyaprēmabāhulyasya jñāpanārthaṁ|
5 But if any man has caused sadness, he has not caused me sadness, but in part (that I may not bear down) you all.
yēnāhaṁ śōkayuktīkr̥tastēna kēvalamahaṁ śōkayuktīkr̥tastannahi kintvaṁśatō yūyaṁ sarvvē'pi yatō'hamatra kasmiṁścid dōṣamārōpayituṁ nēcchāmi|
6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment by the many,
bahūnāṁ yat tarjjanaṁ tēna janēnālambhi tat tadarthaṁ pracuraṁ|
7 so that instead, for you rather to forgive and encourage, lest perhaps such a man would be swallowed up with too much sorrow.
ataḥ sa duḥkhasāgarē yanna nimajjati tadarthaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sa kṣantavyaḥ sāntvayitavyaśca|
8 Therefore I beseech you to affirm love for him.
iti hētōḥ prarthayē'haṁ yuṣmābhistasmin dayā kriyatāṁ|
9 For I also wrote for this, so that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.
yūyaṁ sarvvakarmmaṇi mamādēśaṁ gr̥hlītha na vēti parīkṣitum ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
10 But to whom ye forgive anything, I too. For I also, whom I have forgiven (if anything), I have forgiven because of you in the presence of Christ,
yasya yō dōṣō yuṣmābhiḥ kṣamyatē tasya sa dōṣō mayāpi kṣamyatē yaśca dōṣō mayā kṣamyatē sa yuṣmākaṁ kr̥tē khrīṣṭasya sākṣāt kṣamyatē|
11 so that we may not be exploited by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his methods.
śayatānaḥ kalpanāsmābhirajñātā nahi, atō vayaṁ yat tēna na vañcyāmahē tadartham asmābhiḥ sāvadhānai rbhavitavyaṁ|
12 Now having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the Lord,
aparañca khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaghōṣaṇārthaṁ mayi trōyānagaramāgatē prabhōḥ karmmaṇē ca madarthaṁ dvārē muktē
13 I had no rest in my spirit, my not finding Titus my brother. But having departed from them, I went forth into Macedonia.
satyapi svabhrātustītasyāvidyamānatvāt madīyātmanaḥ kāpi śānti rna babhūva, tasmād ahaṁ tān visarjjanaṁ yācitvā mākidaniyādēśaṁ gantuṁ prasthānam akaravaṁ|
14 And thanks is to God who always causes us to triumph in the Christ, and who makes manifest the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place, through us.
ya īśvaraḥ sarvvadā khrīṣṭēnāsmān jayinaḥ karōti sarvvatra cāsmābhistadīyajñānasya gandhaṁ prakāśayati sa dhanyaḥ|
15 Because we are a fragrance of Christ to God, in those being saved and in those perishing:
yasmād yē trāṇaṁ lapsyantē yē ca vināśaṁ gamiṣyanti tān prati vayam īśvarēṇa khrīṣṭasya saugandhyaṁ bhavāmaḥ|
16 to the one an odor of death for death, and to the other an aroma of life for life. And who is adequate for these things?
vayam ēkēṣāṁ mr̥tyavē mr̥tyugandhā aparēṣāñca jīvanāya jīvanagandhā bhavāmaḥ, kintvētādr̥śakarmmasādhanē kaḥ samarthō'sti?
17 For we are not as other men, huckstering the word of God, but as from purity. But we speak in Christ as from God in the sight of God.
anyē bahavō lōkā yadvad īśvarasya vākyaṁ mr̥ṣāśikṣayā miśrayanti vayaṁ tadvat tanna miśrayantaḥ saralabhāvēnēśvarasya sākṣād īśvarasyādēśāt khrīṣṭēna kathāṁ bhāṣāmahē|
