< 2 Corinthians 7 >
1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, (pneuma) perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
ataeva he priyatamāḥ, etādṛśīḥ pratijñāḥ prāptairasmābhiḥ śarīrātmanoḥ sarvvamālinyam apamṛjyeśvarasya bhaktyā pavitrācāraḥ sādhyatāṁ|
2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
yūyam asmān gṛhlīta| asmābhiḥ kasyāpyanyāyo na kṛtaḥ ko'pi na vañcitaḥ|
3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that all of you are in our hearts to die and live with you.
yuṣmān doṣiṇaḥ karttamahaṁ vākyametad vadāmīti nahi yuṣmābhiḥ saha jīvanāya maraṇāya vā vayaṁ yuṣmān svāntaḥkaraṇai rdhārayāma iti pūrvvaṁ mayoktaṁ|
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
yuṣmān prati mama mahetsāho jāyate yuṣmān adhyahaṁ bahu ślāghe ca tena sarvvakleśasamaye'haṁ sāntvanayā pūrṇo harṣeṇa praphullitaśca bhavāmi|
5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
asmāsu mākidaniyādeśam āgateṣvasmākaṁ śarīrasya kācidapi śānti rnābhavat kintu sarvvato bahi rvirodhenāntaśca bhītyā vayam apīḍyāmahi|
6 Nevertheless God, that comforts those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
kintu namrāṇāṁ sāntvayitā ya īśvaraḥ sa tītasyāgamanenāsmān asāntvayat|
7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earn desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
kevalaṁ tasyāgamanena tannahi kintu yuṣmatto jātayā tasya sāntvanayāpi, yato'smāsu yuṣmākaṁ hārddavilāpāsaktatveṣvasmākaṁ samīpe varṇiteṣu mama mahānando jātaḥ|
8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle has made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
ahaṁ patreṇa yuṣmān śokayuktān kṛtavān ityasmād anvatapye kintvadhunā nānutapye| tena patreṇa yūyaṁ kṣaṇamātraṁ śokayuktībhūtā iti mayā dṛśyate|
9 Now I rejoice, not that all of you were made sorry, but that all of you sorrowed to repentance: for all of you were made sorry after a godly manner, that all of you might receive damage by us in nothing.
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 For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world works death.
sa īśvarīyaḥ śokaḥ paritrāṇajanakaṁ niranutāpaṁ manaḥparivarttanaṁ sādhayati kintu sāṁsārikaḥ śoko mṛtyuṁ sādhayati|
11 For behold this very same thing, that all of you sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things all of you have approved yourselves to be clear 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 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
yenāparāddhaṁ tasya kṛte kiṁvā yasyāparāddhaṁ tasya kṛte mayā patram alekhi tannahi kintu yuṣmānadhyasmākaṁ yatno yad īśvarasya sākṣād yuṣmatsamīpe prakāśeta tadarthameva|
13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly more rejoice did we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit (pneuma) was refreshed by you all.
uktakāraṇād vayaṁ sāntvanāṁ prāptāḥ; tāñca sāntvanāṁ vināvaro mahāhlādastītasyāhlādādasmābhi rlabdhaḥ, yatastasyātmā sarvvai ryuṣmābhistṛptaḥ|
14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
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 inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling all of you received him.
yūyaṁ kīdṛk tasyājñā apālayata bhayakampābhyāṁ taṁ gṛhītavantaścaitasya smaraṇād yuṣmāsu tasya sneho bāhulyena varttate|
16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
yuṣmāsvahaṁ sarvvamāśaṁse, ityasmin mamāhlādo jāyate|
