2 Corinthians 2
1 But I have judged this with myself, not to come back to you in grief.
aparañcāhaṁ punaḥ śōkāya yuṣmatsannidhiṁ na gamiṣyāmīti manasi niracaiṣaṁ|
2 For if I grieve you, who also [is] it that gladdens me, if not he that is grieved through me?
yasmād ahaṁ yadi yuṣmān śōkayuktān karōmi tarhi mayā yaḥ śōkayuktīkr̥tastaṁ vinā kēnāparēṇāhaṁ harṣayiṣyē?
3 And I have written this very [letter] [to you], that coming I may not have grief from those from whom I ought to have joy; trusting in you all that my joy is [that] of you all.
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 tribulation and distress of heart I wrote to you, with many tears; not that ye may be grieved, but that ye may know the love which I have very abundantly towards you.
vastutastu bahuklēśasya manaḥpīḍāyāśca samayē'haṁ bahvaśrupātēna patramēkaṁ likhitavān yuṣmākaṁ śōkārthaṁ tannahi kintu yuṣmāsu madīyaprēmabāhulyasya jñāpanārthaṁ|
5 But if any one has grieved, he has grieved, not me, but in part (that I may not overcharge [you]) all of you.
yēnāhaṁ śōkayuktīkr̥tastēna kēvalamahaṁ śōkayuktīkr̥tastannahi kintvaṁśatō yūyaṁ sarvvē'pi yatō'hamatra kasmiṁścid dōṣamārōpayituṁ nēcchāmi|
6 Sufficient to such a one [is] this rebuke which [has been inflicted] by the many;
bahūnāṁ yat tarjjanaṁ tēna janēnālambhi tat tadarthaṁ pracuraṁ|
7 so that on the contrary ye should rather shew grace and encourage, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with excessive grief.
ataḥ sa duḥkhasāgarē yanna nimajjati tadarthaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sa kṣantavyaḥ sāntvayitavyaśca|
8 Wherefore I exhort you to assure him of [your] love.
iti hētōḥ prarthayē'haṁ yuṣmābhistasmin dayā kriyatāṁ|
9 For to this end also I have written, that I might know, by putting you to the test, if as to everything ye are obedient.
yūyaṁ sarvvakarmmaṇi mamādēśaṁ gr̥hlītha na vēti parīkṣitum ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
10 But to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, [it is] for your sakes in [the] person of Christ;
yasya yō dōṣō yuṣmābhiḥ kṣamyatē tasya sa dōṣō mayāpi kṣamyatē yaśca dōṣō mayā kṣamyatē sa yuṣmākaṁ kr̥tē khrīṣṭasya sākṣāt kṣamyatē|
11 that we might not have Satan get an advantage against us, for we are not ignorant of his thoughts.
śayatānaḥ kalpanāsmābhirajñātā nahi, atō vayaṁ yat tēna na vañcyāmahē tadartham asmābhiḥ sāvadhānai rbhavitavyaṁ|
12 Now when I came to Troas for the [publication of the] glad tidings of the Christ, a door also being 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 at not finding Titus my brother; but bidding them adieu, I came away to Macedonia.
satyapi svabhrātustītasyāvidyamānatvāt madīyātmanaḥ kāpi śānti rna babhūva, tasmād ahaṁ tān visarjjanaṁ yācitvā mākidaniyādēśaṁ gantuṁ prasthānam akaravaṁ|
14 But thanks [be] to God, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ, and makes manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place.
ya īśvaraḥ sarvvadā khrīṣṭēnāsmān jayinaḥ karōti sarvvatra cāsmābhistadīyajñānasya gandhaṁ prakāśayati sa dhanyaḥ|
15 For we are a sweet odour of Christ to God, in the saved and in those that perish:
yasmād yē trāṇaṁ lapsyantē yē ca vināśaṁ gamiṣyanti tān prati vayam īśvarēṇa khrīṣṭasya saugandhyaṁ bhavāmaḥ|
16 to the one an odour from death unto death, but to the others an odour from life unto life; and who [is] sufficient for these things?
vayam ēkēṣāṁ mr̥tyavē mr̥tyugandhā aparēṣāñca jīvanāya jīvanagandhā bhavāmaḥ, kintvētādr̥śakarmmasādhanē kaḥ samarthō'sti?
17 For we do not, as the many, make a trade of the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, before God, we speak in Christ.
anyē bahavō lōkā yadvad īśvarasya vākyaṁ mr̥ṣāśikṣayā miśrayanti vayaṁ tadvat tanna miśrayantaḥ saralabhāvēnēśvarasya sākṣād īśvarasyādēśāt khrīṣṭēna kathāṁ bhāṣāmahē|
