2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
aparam asmākam etasmin pārthive dūṣyarūpe veśmani jīrṇe satīśvareṇa nirmmitam akarakṛtam asmākam anantakālasthāyi veśmaikaṁ svarge vidyata iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ| (aiōnios g166)
2 For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
yato hetoretasmin veśmani tiṣṭhanto vayaṁ taṁ svargīyaṁ vāsaṁ paridhātum ākāṅkṣyamāṇā niḥśvasāmaḥ|
3 since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.
tathāpīdānīmapi vayaṁ tena na nagnāḥ kintu parihitavasanā manyāmahe|
4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
etasmin dūṣye tiṣṭhanato vayaṁ kliśyamānā niḥśvasāmaḥ, yato vayaṁ vāsaṁ tyaktum icchāmastannahi kintu taṁ dvitīyaṁ vāsaṁ paridhātum icchāmaḥ, yatastathā kṛte jīvanena martyaṁ grasiṣyate|
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
etadarthaṁ vayaṁ yena sṛṣṭāḥ sa īśvara eva sa cāsmabhyaṁ satyaṅkārasya paṇasvarūpam ātmānaṁ dattavān|
6 Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
ataeva vayaṁ sarvvadotsukā bhavāmaḥ kiñca śarīre yāvad asmābhi rnyuṣyate tāvat prabhuto dūre proṣyata iti jānīmaḥ,
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
yato vayaṁ dṛṣṭimārge na carāmaḥ kintu viśvāsamārge|
8 We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
aparañca śarīrād dūre pravastuṁ prabhoḥ sannidhau nivastuñcākāṅkṣyamāṇā utsukā bhavāmaḥ|
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
tasmādeva kāraṇād vayaṁ tasya sannidhau nivasantastasmād dūre pravasanto vā tasmai rocituṁ yatāmahe|
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
yasmāt śarīrāvasthāyām ekaikena kṛtānāṁ karmmaṇāṁ śubhāśubhaphalaprāptaye sarvvaismābhiḥ khrīṣṭasya vicārāsanasammukha upasthātavyaṁ|
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
ataeva prabho rbhayānakatvaṁ vijñāya vayaṁ manujān anunayāmaḥ kiñceśvarasya gocare saprakāśā bhavāmaḥ, yuṣmākaṁ saṁvedagocare'pi saprakāśā bhavāma ityāśaṁsāmahe|
12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.
anena vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau punaḥ svān praśaṁsāma iti nahi kintu ye mano vinā mukhaiḥ ślāghante tebhyaḥ pratyuttaradānāya yūyaṁ yathāsmābhiḥ ślāghituṁ śaknutha tādṛśam upāyaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ vitarāmaḥ|
13 For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.
yadi vayaṁ hatajñānā bhavāmastarhi tad īśvarārthakaṁ yadi ca sajñānā bhavāmastarhi tad yuṣmadarthakaṁ|
14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
vayaṁ khrīṣṭasya premnā samākṛṣyāmahe yataḥ sarvveṣāṁ vinimayena yadyeko jano'mriyata tarhi te sarvve mṛtā ityāsmābhi rbudhyate|
15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
aparañca ye jīvanti te yat svārthaṁ na jīvanti kintu teṣāṁ kṛte yo jano mṛtaḥ punarutthāpitaśca tamuddiśya yat jīvanti tadarthameva sa sarvveṣāṁ kṛte mṛtavān|
16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we no longer know him in this way.
ato hetoritaḥ paraṁ ko'pyasmābhi rjātito na pratijñātavyaḥ|yadyapi pūrvvaṁ khrīṣṭo jātito'smābhiḥ pratijñātastathāpīdānīṁ jātitaḥ puna rna pratijñāyate|
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.
kenacit khrīṣṭa āśrite nūtanā sṛṣṭi rbhavati purātanāni lupyante paśya nikhilāni navīnāni bhavanti|
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
sarvvañcaitad īśvarasya karmma yato yīśukhrīṣṭena sa evāsmān svena sārddhaṁ saṁhitavān sandhānasambandhīyāṁ paricaryyām asmāsu samarpitavāṁśca|
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
yataḥ īśvaraḥ khrīṣṭam adhiṣṭhāya jagato janānām āgāṁsi teṣām ṛṇamiva na gaṇayan svena sārddhaṁ tān saṁhitavān sandhivārttām asmāsu samarpitavāṁśca|
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
ato vayaṁ khrīṣṭasya vinimayena dautyaṁ karmma sampādayāmahe, īśvaraścāsmābhi ryuṣmān yāyācyate tataḥ khrīṣṭasya vinimayena vayaṁ yuṣmān prārthayāmahe yūyamīśvareṇa sandhatta|
21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
yato vayaṁ tena yad īśvarīyapuṇyaṁ bhavāmastadarthaṁ pāpena saha yasya jñāteyaṁ nāsīt sa eva tenāsmākaṁ vinimayena pāpaḥ kṛtaḥ|
