2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
aparam asmākam etasmin pārthive dūṣyarūpe veśmani jīrṇe satīśvareṇa nirmmitam akarakṛtam asmākam anantakālasthāyi veśmaikaṁ svarge vidyata iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ| (aiōnios g166)
2 For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:
yato hetoretasmin veśmani tiṣṭhanto vayaṁ taṁ svargīyaṁ vāsaṁ paridhātum ākāṅkṣyamāṇā niḥśvasāmaḥ|
3 if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
tathāpīdānīmapi vayaṁ tena na nagnāḥ kintu parihitavasanā manyāmahe|
4 For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.
etasmin dūṣye tiṣṭhanato vayaṁ kliśyamānā niḥśvasāmaḥ, yato vayaṁ vāsaṁ tyaktum icchāmastannahi kintu taṁ dvitīyaṁ vāsaṁ paridhātum icchāmaḥ, yatastathā kṛte jīvanena martyaṁ grasiṣyate|
5 Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
etadarthaṁ vayaṁ yena sṛṣṭāḥ sa īśvara eva sa cāsmabhyaṁ satyaṅkārasya paṇasvarūpam ātmānaṁ dattavān|
6 Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord
ataeva vayaṁ sarvvadotsukā bhavāmaḥ kiñca śarīre yāvad asmābhi rnyuṣyate tāvat prabhuto dūre proṣyata iti jānīmaḥ,
7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight);
yato vayaṁ dṛṣṭimārge na carāmaḥ kintu viśvāsamārge|
8 we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
aparañca śarīrād dūre pravastuṁ prabhoḥ sannidhau nivastuñcākāṅkṣyamāṇā utsukā bhavāmaḥ|
9 Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.
tasmādeva kāraṇād vayaṁ tasya sannidhau nivasantastasmād dūre pravasanto vā tasmai rocituṁ yatāmahe|
10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.
yasmāt śarīrāvasthāyām ekaikena kṛtānāṁ karmmaṇāṁ śubhāśubhaphalaprāptaye sarvvaismābhiḥ khrīṣṭasya vicārāsanasammukha upasthātavyaṁ|
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.
ataeva prabho rbhayānakatvaṁ vijñāya vayaṁ manujān anunayāmaḥ kiñceśvarasya gocare saprakāśā bhavāmaḥ, yuṣmākaṁ saṁvedagocare'pi saprakāśā bhavāma ityāśaṁsāmahe|
12 We are not again commending ourselves unto you, but [speak] as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have wherewith to answer them that glory in appearance, and not in heart.
anena vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau punaḥ svān praśaṁsāma iti nahi kintu ye mano vinā mukhaiḥ ślāghante tebhyaḥ pratyuttaradānāya yūyaṁ yathāsmābhiḥ ślāghituṁ śaknutha tādṛśam upāyaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ vitarāmaḥ|
13 For whether we are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you.
yadi vayaṁ hatajñānā bhavāmastarhi tad īśvarārthakaṁ yadi ca sajñānā bhavāmastarhi tad yuṣmadarthakaṁ|
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;
vayaṁ khrīṣṭasya premnā samākṛṣyāmahe yataḥ sarvveṣāṁ vinimayena yadyeko jano'mriyata tarhi te sarvve mṛtā ityāsmābhi rbudhyate|
15 and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.
aparañca ye jīvanti te yat svārthaṁ na jīvanti kintu teṣāṁ kṛte yo jano mṛtaḥ punarutthāpitaśca tamuddiśya yat jīvanti tadarthameva sa sarvveṣāṁ kṛte mṛtavān|
16 Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more.
ato hetoritaḥ paraṁ ko'pyasmābhi rjātito na pratijñātavyaḥ|yadyapi pūrvvaṁ khrīṣṭo jātito'smābhiḥ pratijñātastathāpīdānīṁ jātitaḥ puna rna pratijñāyate|
17 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.
kenacit khrīṣṭa āśrite nūtanā sṛṣṭi rbhavati purātanāni lupyante paśya nikhilāni navīnāni bhavanti|
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;
sarvvañcaitad īśvarasya karmma yato yīśukhrīṣṭena sa evāsmān svena sārddhaṁ saṁhitavān sandhānasambandhīyāṁ paricaryyām asmāsu samarpitavāṁśca|
19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
yataḥ īśvaraḥ khrīṣṭam adhiṣṭhāya jagato janānām āgāṁsi teṣām ṛṇamiva na gaṇayan svena sārddhaṁ tān saṁhitavān sandhivārttām asmāsu samarpitavāṁśca|
20 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.
ato vayaṁ khrīṣṭasya vinimayena dautyaṁ karmma sampādayāmahe, īśvaraścāsmābhi ryuṣmān yāyācyate tataḥ khrīṣṭasya vinimayena vayaṁ yuṣmān prārthayāmahe yūyamīśvareṇa sandhatta|
21 Him who knew no sin he made [to be] sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
yato vayaṁ tena yad īśvarīyapuṇyaṁ bhavāmastadarthaṁ pāpena saha yasya jñāteyaṁ nāsīt sa eva tenāsmākaṁ vinimayena pāpaḥ kṛtaḥ|
