2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the church of God that is in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:
īśvarasyecchayā yīśukhrīṣṭasya preritaḥ paulastimathirbhrātā ca dvāvetau karinthanagarasthāyai īśvarīyasamitaya ākhāyādeśasthebhyaḥ sarvvebhyaḥ pavitralokebhyaśca patraṁ likhataḥ|
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
asmākaṁ tātasyeśvarasya prabhoryīśukhrīṣṭasya cānugrahaḥ śāntiśca yuṣmāsu varttatāṁ|
3 All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement,
kṛpāluḥ pitā sarvvasāntvanākārīśvaraśca yo'smatprabhoryīśukhrīṣṭasya tāta īśvaraḥ sa dhanyo bhavatu|
4 who encourages us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in whatever affliction, by means of the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God.
yato vayam īśvarāt sāntvanāṁ prāpya tayā sāntvanayā yat sarvvavidhakliṣṭān lokān sāntvayituṁ śaknuyāma tadarthaṁ so'smākaṁ sarvvakleśasamaye'smān sāntvayati|
5 Because just as the sufferings of the Christ flow over into us, so also our encouraging overflows, through Christ.
yataḥ khrīṣṭasya kleśā yadvad bāhulyenāsmāsu varttante tadvad vayaṁ khrīṣṭena bahusāntvanāḍhyā api bhavāmaḥ|
6 Now then, if we are afflicted, it is for the sake of your encouragement and deliverance, that are effective for enduring the same sufferings that we also are suffering
vayaṁ yadi kliśyāmahe tarhi yuṣmākaṁ sāntvanāparitrāṇayoḥ kṛte kliśyāmahe yato'smābhi ryādṛśāni duḥkhāni sahyante yuṣmākaṁ tādṛśaduḥkhānāṁ sahanena tau sādhayiṣyete ityasmin yuṣmānadhi mama dṛḍhā pratyāśā bhavati|
7 (yes, our hope concerning you is steadfast); if we are encouraged, it also is for the sake of your encouragement and deliverance, since we know that you will share in the encouragement just as you do in the sufferings.
yadi vā vayaṁ sāntvanāṁ labhāmahe tarhi yuṣmākaṁ sāntvanāparitrāṇayoḥ kṛte tāmapi labhāmahe| yato yūyaṁ yādṛg duḥkhānāṁ bhāgino'bhavata tādṛk sāntvanāyā api bhāgino bhaviṣyatheti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
8 And so, brothers, we do not want you to be in ignorance concerning the affliction that came upon us in Asia: we were under extreme pressure, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.
he bhrātaraḥ, āśiyādeśe yaḥ kleśo'smān ākrāmyat taṁ yūyaṁ yad anavagatāstiṣṭhata tanmayā bhadraṁ na manyate| tenātiśaktikleśena vayamatīva pīḍitāstasmāt jīvanarakṣaṇe nirupāyā jātāśca,
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, so that we not place confidence in ourselves, but in the God who raises the dead;
ato vayaṁ sveṣu na viśvasya mṛtalokānām utthāpayitarīśvare yad viśvāsaṁ kurmmastadartham asmābhiḥ prāṇadaṇḍo bhoktavya iti svamanasi niścitaṁ|
10 He did deliver us from that deadly peril, and still delivers; in whom we trust that He will keep on delivering,
etādṛśabhayaṅkarāt mṛtyo ryo 'smān atrāyatedānīmapi trāyate sa itaḥ paramapyasmān trāsyate 'smākam etādṛśī pratyāśā vidyate|
11 you also adding your cooperation in prayer, on our behalf; that thanks may be given by many persons for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, on your behalf.
etadarthamasmatkṛte prārthanayā vayaṁ yuṣmābhirupakarttavyāstathā kṛte bahubhi ryācito yo'nugraho'smāsu varttiṣyate tatkṛte bahubhirīśvarasya dhanyavādo'pi kāriṣyate|
12 Now this is our boast: the testimony of our conscience that we have conducted ourselves in the world with openness and godly sincerity, not by fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and especially toward you.
aparañca saṁsāramadhye viśeṣato yuṣmanmadhye vayaṁ sāṁsārikyā dhiyā nahi kintvīśvarasyānugraheṇākuṭilatām īśvarīyasāralyañcācaritavanto'trāsmākaṁ mano yat pramāṇaṁ dadāti tena vayaṁ ślāghāmahe|
13 For we do not write you any other things than what you can read and understand; and I do hope that you will keep on understanding to the end
yuṣmābhi ryad yat paṭhyate gṛhyate ca tadanyat kimapi yuṣmabhyam asmābhi rna likhyate taccāntaṁ yāvad yuṣmābhi rgrahīṣyata ityasmākam āśā|
14 (as indeed some of you have acknowledged) that we are your boast, just as you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
yūyamitaḥ pūrvvamapyasmān aṁśato gṛhītavantaḥ, yataḥ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya dine yadvad yuṣmāsvasmākaṁ ślāghā tadvad asmāsu yuṣmākamapi ślāghā bhaviṣyati|
15 It was in this confidence that I was planning to come by you first,
aparaṁ yūyaṁ yad dvitīyaṁ varaṁ labhadhve tadarthamitaḥ pūrvvaṁ tayā pratyāśayā yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gamiṣyāmi
16 and by you to proceed into Macedonia, and to come back to you from Macedonia (that you might benefit twice), and then to be sent by you on my way to Judea.
yuṣmaddeśena mākidaniyādeśaṁ vrajitvā punastasmāt mākidaniyādeśāt yuṣmatsamīpam etya yuṣmābhi ryihūdādeśaṁ preṣayiṣye ceti mama vāñchāsīt|
17 Now then, when I was deciding this, I was not acting frivolously, was I? Or the things I decide, do I decide according to the flesh, so that with me there would be both “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?
etādṛśī mantraṇā mayā kiṁ cāñcalyena kṛtā? yad yad ahaṁ mantraye tat kiṁ viṣayiloka̮iva mantrayāṇa ādau svīkṛtya paścād asvīkurvve?
18 As God is faithful, our word to you was not “Yes” and “No”,
yuṣmān prati mayā kathitāni vākyānyagre svīkṛtāni śeṣe'svīkṛtāni nābhavan eteneśvarasya viśvastatā prakāśate|
19 because the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No”. In fact, with Him it has always been “Yes”,
mayā silvānena timathinā ceśvarasya putro yo yīśukhrīṣṭo yuṣmanmadhye ghoṣitaḥ sa tena svīkṛtaḥ punarasvīkṛtaśca tannahi kintu sa tasya svīkārasvarūpaeva|
20 because all the promises of God in Him are “Yes”; indeed, in Him they are “Amen”, that there be glory to God through us.
īśvarasya mahimā yad asmābhiḥ prakāśeta tadartham īśvareṇa yad yat pratijñātaṁ tatsarvvaṁ khrīṣṭena svīkṛtaṁ satyībhūtañca|
21 Now He who establishes us together with you into Christ, and who anointed us, is God,
yuṣmān asmāṁścābhiṣicya yaḥ khrīṣṭe sthāsnūn karoti sa īśvara eva|
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
sa cāsmān mudrāṅkitān akārṣīt satyāṅkārasya paṇakharūpam ātmānaṁ asmākam antaḥkaraṇeṣu nirakṣipacca|
23 For my part, I call on God as witness, upon my soul, that it was to spare you that I have not yet returned to Corinth.
aparaṁ yuṣmāsu karuṇāṁ kurvvan aham etāvatkālaṁ yāvat karinthanagaraṁ na gatavān iti satyametasmin īśvaraṁ sākṣiṇaṁ kṛtvā mayā svaprāṇānāṁ śapathaḥ kriyate|
24 (Not that we have control over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, for it is by faith that you stand firm.)
vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya niyantāro na bhavāmaḥ kintu yuṣmākam ānandasya sahāyā bhavāmaḥ, yasmād viśvāse yuṣmākaṁ sthiti rbhavati|
