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 asmAkam Etasmin pArthivE dUSyarUpE vEzmani jIrNE satIzvarENa nirmmitam akarakRtam asmAkam anantakAlasthAyi vEzmaikaM svargE vidyata iti vayaM jAnImaH| (aiōnios g166)
2 For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
yatO hEtOrEtasmin vEzmani tiSThantO vayaM taM svargIyaM vAsaM paridhAtum AkAgkSyamANA niHzvasAmaH|
3 since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.
tathApIdAnImapi vayaM tEna na nagnAH kintu parihitavasanA manyAmahE|
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 dUSyE tiSThanatO vayaM klizyamAnA niHzvasAmaH, yatO vayaM vAsaM tyaktum icchAmastannahi kintu taM dvitIyaM vAsaM paridhAtum icchAmaH, yatastathA kRtE jIvanEna martyaM grasiSyatE|
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
EtadarthaM vayaM yEna sRSTAH sa Izvara Eva sa cAsmabhyaM satyagkArasya paNasvarUpam AtmAnaM dattavAn|
6 Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
ataEva vayaM sarvvadOtsukA bhavAmaH kinjca zarIrE yAvad asmAbhi rnyuSyatE tAvat prabhutO dUrE prOSyata iti jAnImaH,
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
yatO vayaM dRSTimArgE na carAmaH kintu vizvAsamArgE|
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.
aparanjca zarIrAd dUrE pravastuM prabhOH sannidhau nivastunjcAkAgkSyamANA utsukA bhavAmaH|
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
tasmAdEva kAraNAd vayaM tasya sannidhau nivasantastasmAd dUrE pravasantO vA tasmai rOcituM yatAmahE|
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.
yasmAt zarIrAvasthAyAm EkaikEna kRtAnAM karmmaNAM zubhAzubhaphalaprAptayE sarvvaismAbhiH khrISTasya vicArAsanasammukha upasthAtavyaM|
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 rbhayAnakatvaM vijnjAya vayaM manujAn anunayAmaH kinjcEzvarasya gOcarE saprakAzA bhavAmaH, yuSmAkaM saMvEdagOcarE'pi saprakAzA bhavAma ityAzaMsAmahE|
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 vayaM yuSmAkaM sannidhau punaH svAn prazaMsAma iti nahi kintu yE manO vinA mukhaiH zlAghantE tEbhyaH pratyuttaradAnAya yUyaM yathAsmAbhiH zlAghituM zaknutha tAdRzam upAyaM yuSmabhyaM vitarAmaH|
13 For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.
yadi vayaM hatajnjAnA bhavAmastarhi tad IzvarArthakaM yadi ca sajnjAnA bhavAmastarhi tad yuSmadarthakaM|
14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
vayaM khrISTasya prEmnA samAkRSyAmahE yataH sarvvESAM vinimayEna yadyEkO janO'mriyata tarhi tE sarvvE mRtA ityAsmAbhi 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.
aparanjca yE jIvanti tE yat svArthaM na jIvanti kintu tESAM kRtE yO janO mRtaH punarutthApitazca tamuddizya yat jIvanti tadarthamEva sa sarvvESAM kRtE mRtavAn|
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 hEtOritaH paraM kO'pyasmAbhi rjAtitO na pratijnjAtavyaH|yadyapi pUrvvaM khrISTO jAtitO'smAbhiH pratijnjAtastathApIdAnIM jAtitaH puna rna pratijnjAyatE|
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.
kEnacit khrISTa AzritE nUtanA sRSTi rbhavati purAtanAni lupyantE pazya nikhilAni navInAni bhavanti|
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
sarvvanjcaitad Izvarasya karmma yatO yIzukhrISTEna sa EvAsmAn svEna sArddhaM saMhitavAn sandhAnasambandhIyAM paricaryyAm asmAsu samarpitavAMzca|
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.
yataH IzvaraH khrISTam adhiSThAya jagatO janAnAm AgAMsi tESAm RNamiva na gaNayan svEna sArddhaM tAn saMhitavAn sandhivArttAm asmAsu samarpitavAMzca|
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 vayaM khrISTasya vinimayEna dautyaM karmma sampAdayAmahE, IzvarazcAsmAbhi ryuSmAn yAyAcyatE tataH khrISTasya vinimayEna vayaM yuSmAn prArthayAmahE yUyamIzvarENa 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 vayaM tEna yad IzvarIyapuNyaM bhavAmastadarthaM pApEna saha yasya jnjAtEyaM nAsIt sa Eva tEnAsmAkaM vinimayEna pApaH kRtaH|
