1 Corinthians 16
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the churches of Galatia, you do likewise.
pavitralokānāṁ kṛte yo'rthasaṁgrahastamadhi gālātīyadeśasya samājā mayā yad ādiṣṭāstad yuṣmābhirapi kriyatāṁ|
2 On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.
mamāgamanakāle yad arthasaṁgraho na bhavet tannimittaṁ yuṣmākamekaikena svasampadānusārāt sañcayaṁ kṛtvā saptāhasya prathamadivase svasamīpe kiñcit nikṣipyatāṁ|
3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
tato mamāgamanasamaye yūyaṁ yāneva viśvāsyā iti vediṣyatha tebhyo'haṁ patrāṇi dattvā yuṣmākaṁ taddānasya yirūśālamaṁ nayanārthaṁ tān preṣayiṣyāmi|
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
kintu yadi tatra mamāpi gamanam ucitaṁ bhavet tarhi te mayā saha yāsyanti|
5 But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
sāmprataṁ mākidaniyādeśamahaṁ paryyaṭāmi taṁ paryyaṭya yuṣmatsamīpam āgamiṣyāmi|
6 But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
anantaraṁ kiṁ jānāmi yuṣmatsannidhim avasthāsye śītakālamapi yāpayiṣyāmi ca paścāt mama yat sthānaṁ gantavyaṁ tatraiva yuṣmābhirahaṁ prerayitavyaḥ|
7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
yato'haṁ yātrākāle kṣaṇamātraṁ yuṣmān draṣṭuṁ necchāmi kintu prabhu ryadyanujānīyāt tarhi kiñcid dīrghakālaṁ yuṣmatsamīpe pravastum icchāmi|
8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
tathāpi nistārotsavāt paraṁ pañcāśattamadinaṁ yāvad iphiṣapuryyāṁ sthāsyāmi|
9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
yasmād atra kāryyasādhanārthaṁ mamāntike bṛhad dvāraṁ muktaṁ bahavo vipakṣā api vidyante|
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
timathi ryadi yuṣmākaṁ samīpam āgacchet tarhi yena nirbhayaṁ yuṣmanmadhye vartteta tatra yuṣmābhi rmano nidhīyatāṁ yasmād ahaṁ yādṛk so'pi tādṛk prabhoḥ karmmaṇe yatate|
11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
ko'pi taṁ pratyanādaraṁ na karotu kintu sa mamāntikaṁ yad āgantuṁ śaknuyāt tadarthaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sakuśalaṁ preṣyatāṁ| bhrātṛbhiḥ sārddhamahaṁ taṁ pratīkṣe|
12 Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
āpalluṁ bhrātaramadhyahaṁ nivedayāmi bhrātṛbhiḥ sākaṁ so'pi yad yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ vrajet tadarthaṁ mayā sa punaḥ punaryācitaḥ kintvidānīṁ gamanaṁ sarvvathā tasmai nārocata, itaḥparaṁ susamayaṁ prāpya sa gamiṣyati|
13 Watch. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.
yūyaṁ jāgṛta viśvāse susthirā bhavata pauruṣaṁ prakāśayata balavanto bhavata|
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
yuṣmābhiḥ sarvvāṇi karmmāṇi premnā niṣpādyantāṁ|
15 Now I appeal to you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints),
he bhrātaraḥ, ahaṁ yuṣmān idam abhiyāce stiphānasya parijanā ākhāyādeśasya prathamajātaphalasvarūpāḥ, pavitralokānāṁ paricaryyāyai ca ta ātmano nyavedayan iti yuṣmābhi rjñāyate|
16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
ato yūyamapi tādṛśalokānām asmatsahāyānāṁ śramakāriṇāñca sarvveṣāṁ vaśyā bhavata|
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
stiphānaḥ pharttūnāta ākhāyikaśca yad atrāgaman tenāham ānandāmi yato yuṣmābhiryat nyūnitaṁ tat taiḥ sampūritaṁ|
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
tai ryuṣmākaṁ mama ca manāṁsyāpyāyitāni| tasmāt tādṛśā lokā yuṣmābhiḥ sammantavyāḥ|
19 The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, together with the church that is in their house.
yuṣmabhyam āśiyādeśasthasamājānāṁ namaskṛtim ākkilapriskillayostanmaṇḍapasthasamiteśca bahunamaskṛtiṁ prajānīta|
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
sarvve bhrātaro yuṣmān namaskurvvante| yūyaṁ pavitracumbanena mitho namata|
21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
paulo'haṁ svakaralikhitaṁ namaskṛtiṁ yuṣmān vedaye|
22 If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Our Lord, come.
yadi kaścid yīśukhrīṣṭe na prīyate tarhi sa śāpagrasto bhavet prabhurāyāti|
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānugraho yuṣmān prati bhūyāt|
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus.
khrīṣṭaṁ yīśum āśritān yuṣmān prati mama prema tiṣṭhatu| iti||
