< 2 Corinthians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Meshikha Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
IshvarasyechChayA yIshukhrIShTasya preritaH paulastimathirbhrAtA cha dvAvetau karinthanagarasthAyai IshvarIyasamitaya AkhAyAdeshasthebhyaH sarvvebhyaH pavitralokebhyashcha patraM likhataH|
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Meshikha.
asmAkaM tAtasyeshvarasya prabhoryIshukhrIShTasya chAnugrahaH shAntishcha yuShmAsu varttatAM|
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
kR^ipAluH pitA sarvvasAntvanAkArIshvarashcha yo. asmatprabhoryIshukhrIShTasya tAta IshvaraH sa dhanyo bhavatu|
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
yato vayam IshvarAt sAntvanAM prApya tayA sAntvanayA yat sarvvavidhakliShTAn lokAn sAntvayituM shaknuyAma tadarthaM so. asmAkaM sarvvakleshasamaye. asmAn sAntvayati|
5 For as the sufferings of Meshikha abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Meshikha.
yataH khrIShTasya kleshA yadvad bAhulyenAsmAsu varttante tadvad vayaM khrIShTena bahusAntvanADhyA api bhavAmaH|
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
vayaM yadi klishyAmahe tarhi yuShmAkaM sAntvanAparitrANayoH kR^ite klishyAmahe yato. asmAbhi ryAdR^ishAni duHkhAni sahyante yuShmAkaM tAdR^ishaduHkhAnAM sahanena tau sAdhayiShyete ityasmin yuShmAnadhi mama dR^iDhA pratyAshA bhavati|
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.
yadi vA vayaM sAntvanAM labhAmahe tarhi yuShmAkaM sAntvanAparitrANayoH kR^ite tAmapi labhAmahe| yato yUyaM yAdR^ig duHkhAnAM bhAgino. abhavata tAdR^ik sAntvanAyA api bhAgino bhaviShyatheti vayaM jAnImaH|
8 For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
he bhrAtaraH, AshiyAdeshe yaH klesho. asmAn AkrAmyat taM yUyaM yad anavagatAstiShThata tanmayA bhadraM na manyate| tenAtishaktikleshena vayamatIva pIDitAstasmAt jIvanarakShaNe nirupAyA jAtAshcha,
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
ato vayaM sveShu na vishvasya mR^italokAnAm utthApayitarIshvare yad vishvAsaM kurmmastadartham asmAbhiH prANadaNDo bhoktavya iti svamanasi nishchitaM|
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will also deliver us again;
etAdR^ishabhaya NkarAt mR^ityo ryo. asmAn atrAyatedAnImapi trAyate sa itaH paramapyasmAn trAsyate. asmAkam etAdR^ishI pratyAshA vidyate|
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your petition; that, for the gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
etadarthamasmatkR^ite prArthanayA vayaM yuShmAbhirupakarttavyAstathA kR^ite bahubhi ryAchito yo. anugraho. asmAsu varttiShyate tatkR^ite bahubhirIshvarasya dhanyavAdo. api kAriShyate|
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that with pure motives and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
apara ncha saMsAramadhye visheShato yuShmanmadhye vayaM sAMsArikyA dhiyA nahi kintvIshvarasyAnugraheNAkuTilatAm IshvarIyasAralya nchAcharitavanto. atrAsmAkaM mano yat pramANaM dadAti tena vayaM shlAghAmahe|
13 For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will fully acknowledge;
yuShmAbhi ryad yat paThyate gR^ihyate cha tadanyat kimapi yuShmabhyam asmAbhi rna likhyate tachchAntaM yAvad yuShmAbhi rgrahIShyata ityasmAkam AshA|
14 as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Yeshua.
yUyamitaH pUrvvamapyasmAn aMshato gR^ihItavantaH, yataH prabho ryIshukhrIShTasya dine yadvad yuShmAsvasmAkaM shlAghA tadvad asmAsu yuShmAkamapi shlAghA bhaviShyati|
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;
aparaM yUyaM yad dvitIyaM varaM labhadhve tadarthamitaH pUrvvaM tayA pratyAshayA yuShmatsamIpaM gamiShyAmi
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Yehuda.
yuShmaddeshena mAkidaniyAdeshaM vrajitvA punastasmAt mAkidaniyAdeshAt yuShmatsamIpam etya yuShmAbhi ryihUdAdeshaM preShayiShye cheti mama vA nChAsIt|
17 When I therefore was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"
etAdR^ishI mantraNA mayA kiM chA nchalyena kR^itA? yad yad ahaM mantraye tat kiM viShayilokaiva mantrayANa Adau svIkR^itya pashchAd asvIkurvve?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not "Yes and no."
yuShmAn prati mayA kathitAni vAkyAnyagre svIkR^itAni sheShe. asvIkR^itAni nAbhavan eteneshvarasya vishvastatA prakAshate|
19 For the Son of God, Yeshua Meshikha, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."
mayA silvAnena timathinA cheshvarasya putro yo yIshukhrIShTo yuShmanmadhye ghoShitaH sa tena svIkR^itaH punarasvIkR^itashcha tannahi kintu sa tasya svIkArasvarUpaeva|
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him they are "Yes." Therefore also through him they are "Amen," to the glory of God through us.
Ishvarasya mahimA yad asmAbhiH prakAsheta tadartham IshvareNa yad yat pratij nAtaM tatsarvvaM khrIShTena svIkR^itaM satyIbhUta ncha|
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Meshikha, and anointed us, is God;
yuShmAn asmAMshchAbhiShichya yaH khrIShTe sthAsnUn karoti sa Ishvara eva|
22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Rukha in our hearts.
sa chAsmAn mudrA NkitAn akArShIt satyA NkArasya paNakharUpam AtmAnaM asmAkam antaHkaraNeShu nirakShipachcha|
23 But I call God as a witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.
aparaM yuShmAsu karuNAM kurvvan aham etAvatkAlaM yAvat karinthanagaraM na gatavAn iti satyametasmin IshvaraM sAkShiNaM kR^itvA mayA svaprANAnAM shapathaH kriyate|
24 Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
