2 Corinthians 7
1 Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
ataeva he priyatamāḥ, etādṛśīḥ pratijñāḥ prāptairasmābhiḥ śarīrātmanoḥ sarvvamālinyam apamṛjyeśvarasya bhaktyā pavitrācāraḥ sādhyatāṁ|
2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.
yūyam asmān gṛhlīta| asmābhiḥ kasyāpyanyāyo na kṛtaḥ ko'pi na vañcitaḥ|
3 I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you.
yuṣmān doṣiṇaḥ karttamahaṁ vākyametad vadāmīti nahi yuṣmābhiḥ saha jīvanāya maraṇāya vā vayaṁ yuṣmān svāntaḥkaraṇai rdhārayāma iti pūrvvaṁ mayoktaṁ|
4 Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.
yuṣmān prati mama mahetsāho jāyate yuṣmān adhyahaṁ bahu ślāghe ca tena sarvvakleśasamaye'haṁ sāntvanayā pūrṇo harṣeṇa praphullitaśca bhavāmi|
5 For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.
asmāsu mākidaniyādeśam āgateṣvasmākaṁ śarīrasya kācidapi śānti rnābhavat kintu sarvvato bahi rvirodhenāntaśca bhītyā vayam apīḍyāmahi|
6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,
kintu namrāṇāṁ sāntvayitā ya īśvaraḥ sa tītasyāgamanenāsmān asāntvayat|
7 and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.
kevalaṁ tasyāgamanena tannahi kintu yuṣmatto jātayā tasya sāntvanayāpi, yato'smāsu yuṣmākaṁ hārddavilāpāsaktatveṣvasmākaṁ samīpe varṇiteṣu mama mahānando jātaḥ|
8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it, I now see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time.
ahaṁ patreṇa yuṣmān śokayuktān kṛtavān ityasmād anvatapye kintvadhunā nānutapye| tena patreṇa yūyaṁ kṣaṇamātraṁ śokayuktībhūtā iti mayā dṛśyate|
9 And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.
ityasmin yuṣmākaṁ śokenāhaṁ hṛṣyāmi tannahi kintu manaḥparivarttanāya yuṣmākaṁ śoko'bhavad ityanena hṛṣyāmi yato'smatto yuṣmākaṁ kāpi hāni ryanna bhavet tadarthaṁ yuṣmākam īśvarīyaḥ śoko jātaḥ|
10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
sa īśvarīyaḥ śokaḥ paritrāṇajanakaṁ niranutāpaṁ manaḥparivarttanaṁ sādhayati kintu sāṁsārikaḥ śoko mṛtyuṁ sādhayati|
11 Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
paśyata teneśvarīyeṇa śokena yuṣmākaṁ kiṁ na sādhitaṁ? yatno doṣaprakṣālanam asantuṣṭatvaṁ hārddam āsaktatvaṁ phaladānañcaitāni sarvvāṇi| tasmin karmmaṇi yūyaṁ nirmmalā iti pramāṇaṁ sarvveṇa prakāreṇa yuṣmābhi rdattaṁ|
12 So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God.
yenāparāddhaṁ tasya kṛte kiṁvā yasyāparāddhaṁ tasya kṛte mayā patram alekhi tannahi kintu yuṣmānadhyasmākaṁ yatno yad īśvarasya sākṣād yuṣmatsamīpe prakāśeta tadarthameva|
13 On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.
uktakāraṇād vayaṁ sāntvanāṁ prāptāḥ; tāñca sāntvanāṁ vināvaro mahāhlādastītasyāhlādādasmābhi rlabdhaḥ, yatastasyātmā sarvvai ryuṣmābhistṛptaḥ|
14 Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.
pūrvvaṁ tasya samīpe'haṁ yuṣmābhiryad aślāghe tena nālajje kintu vayaṁ yadvad yuṣmān prati satyabhāvena sakalam abhāṣāmahi tadvat tītasya samīpe'smākaṁ ślāghanamapi satyaṁ jātaṁ|
15 And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers that you were all obedient as you welcomed him with fear and trembling.
yūyaṁ kīdṛk tasyājñā apālayata bhayakampābhyāṁ taṁ gṛhītavantaścaitasya smaraṇād yuṣmāsu tasya sneho bāhulyena varttate|
16 I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.
yuṣmāsvahaṁ sarvvamāśaṁse, ityasmin mamāhlādo jāyate|
