2 Corinthians 10
1 Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.
yu. smatpratyak. se namra. h kintu parok. se pragalbha. h paulo. aha. m khrii. s.tasya k. saantyaa viniityaa ca yu. smaan praarthaye|
2 I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.
mama praarthaniiyamida. m vaya. m yai. h "saariirikaacaari. no manyaamahe taan prati yaa. m pragalbhataa. m prakaa"sayitu. m ni"scinomi saa pragalbhataa samaagatena mayaacaritavyaa na bhavatu|
3 For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
yata. h "sariire caranto. api vaya. m "saariirika. m yuddha. m na kurmma. h|
4 The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
asmaaka. m yuddhaastraa. ni ca na "saariirikaani kintvii"svare. na durgabha njanaaya prabalaani bhavanti,
5 We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
tai"sca vaya. m vitarkaan ii"svariiyatattvaj naanasya pratibandhikaa. m sarvvaa. m cittasamunnati nca nipaatayaama. h sarvvasa"nkalpa nca bandina. m k. rtvaa khrii. s.tasyaaj naagraahi. na. m kurmma. h,
6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.
yu. smaakam aaj naagraahitve siddhe sati sarvvasyaaj naala"nghanasya pratiikaara. m karttum udyataa aasmahe ca|
7 You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.
yad d. r.s. tigocara. m tad yu. smaabhi rd. r"syataa. m| aha. m khrii. s.tasya loka iti svamanasi yena vij naayate sa yathaa khrii. s.tasya bhavati vayam api tathaa khrii. s.tasya bhavaama iti punarvivicya tena budhyataa. m|
8 For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.
yu. smaaka. m nipaataaya tannahi kintu ni. s.thaayai prabhunaa datta. m yadasmaaka. m saamarthya. m tena yadyapi ki ncid adhika. m "slaaghe tathaapi tasmaanna trapi. sye|
9 I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters.
aha. m patrai ryu. smaan traasayaami yu. smaabhiretanna manyataa. m|
10 For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.”
tasya patraa. ni gurutaraa. ni prabalaani ca bhavanti kintu tasya "saariirasaak. saatkaaro durbbala aalaapa"sca tucchaniiya iti kai"scid ucyate|
11 Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.
kintu parok. se patrai rbhaa. samaa. naa vaya. m yaad. r"saa. h prakaa"saamahe pratyak. se karmma kurvvanto. api taad. r"saa eva prakaa"si. syaamahe tat taad. r"sena vaacaalena j naayataa. m|
12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.
svapra"sa. msakaanaa. m ke. saa ncinmadhye svaan ga. nayitu. m tai. h svaan upamaatu. m vaa vaya. m pragalbhaa na bhavaama. h, yataste svaparimaa. nena svaan parimimate svai"sca svaan upamibhate tasmaat nirbbodhaa bhavanti ca|
13 We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
vayam aparimitena na "slaaghi. syaamahe kintvii"svare. na svarajjvaa yu. smadde"sagaami yat parimaa. nam asmadartha. m niruupita. m tenaiva "slaaghi. syaamahe|
14 We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.
yu. smaaka. m de"so. asmaabhiragantavyastasmaad vaya. m svasiimaam ulla"nghaamahe tannahi yata. h khrii. s.tasya susa. mvaadenaapare. saa. m praag vayameva yu. smaan praaptavanta. h|
15 Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,
vaya. m svasiimaam ulla"nghya parak. setre. na "slaaghaamahe tannahi, ki nca yu. smaaka. m vi"svaase v. rddhi. m gate yu. smadde"se. asmaaka. m siimaa yu. smaabhirdiirgha. m vistaarayi. syate,
16 so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
tena vaya. m yu. smaaka. m pa"scimadiksthe. su sthaane. su susa. mvaada. m gho. sayi. syaama. h, ittha. m parasiimaayaa. m pare. na yat pari. sk. rta. m tena na "slaaghi. syaamahe|
17 Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
ya. h ka"scit "slaaghamaana. h syaat "slaaghataa. m prabhunaa sa hi|
18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
svena ya. h pra"sa. msyate sa pariik. sito nahi kintu prabhunaa ya. h pra"sa. msyate sa eva pariik. sita. h|
