< 2 Corinthians 2 >

1 But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.
aparañcāhaṁ punaḥ śōkāya yuṣmatsannidhiṁ na gamiṣyāmīti manasi niracaiṣaṁ|
2 For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad, but he that is made sorry by me?
yasmād ahaṁ yadi yuṣmān śōkayuktān karōmi tarhi mayā yaḥ śōkayuktīkr̥tastaṁ vinā kēnāparēṇāhaṁ harṣayiṣyē?
3 And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all.
mama yō harṣaḥ sa yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ harṣa ēvēti niścitaṁ mayābōdhi; ataēva yairahaṁ harṣayitavyastai rmadupasthitisamayē yanmama śōkō na jāyēta tadarthamēva yuṣmabhyam ētādr̥śaṁ patraṁ mayā likhitaṁ|
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
vastutastu bahuklēśasya manaḥpīḍāyāśca samayē'haṁ bahvaśrupātēna patramēkaṁ likhitavān yuṣmākaṁ śōkārthaṁ tannahi kintu yuṣmāsu madīyaprēmabāhulyasya jñāpanārthaṁ|
5 But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.
yēnāhaṁ śōkayuktīkr̥tastēna kēvalamahaṁ śōkayuktīkr̥tastannahi kintvaṁśatō yūyaṁ sarvvē'pi yatō'hamatra kasmiṁścid dōṣamārōpayituṁ nēcchāmi|
6 Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was [inflicted] by the many;
bahūnāṁ yat tarjjanaṁ tēna janēnālambhi tat tadarthaṁ pracuraṁ|
7 so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow.
ataḥ sa duḥkhasāgarē yanna nimajjati tadarthaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sa kṣantavyaḥ sāntvayitavyaśca|
8 Wherefore I beseech you to confirm [your] love toward him.
iti hētōḥ prarthayē'haṁ yuṣmābhistasmin dayā kriyatāṁ|
9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.
yūyaṁ sarvvakarmmaṇi mamādēśaṁ gr̥hlītha na vēti parīkṣitum ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
10 But to whom ye forgive anything, I [forgive] also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes [have I forgiven it] in the person of Christ;
yasya yō dōṣō yuṣmābhiḥ kṣamyatē tasya sa dōṣō mayāpi kṣamyatē yaśca dōṣō mayā kṣamyatē sa yuṣmākaṁ kr̥tē khrīṣṭasya sākṣāt kṣamyatē|
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
śayatānaḥ kalpanāsmābhirajñātā nahi, atō vayaṁ yat tēna na vañcyāmahē tadartham asmābhiḥ sāvadhānai rbhavitavyaṁ|
12 Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord,
aparañca khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaghōṣaṇārthaṁ mayi trōyānagaramāgatē prabhōḥ karmmaṇē ca madarthaṁ dvārē muktē
13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.
satyapi svabhrātustītasyāvidyamānatvāt madīyātmanaḥ kāpi śānti rna babhūva, tasmād ahaṁ tān visarjjanaṁ yācitvā mākidaniyādēśaṁ gantuṁ prasthānam akaravaṁ|
14 But thanks be unto God, which always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savour of his knowledge in every place.
ya īśvaraḥ sarvvadā khrīṣṭēnāsmān jayinaḥ karōti sarvvatra cāsmābhistadīyajñānasya gandhaṁ prakāśayati sa dhanyaḥ|
15 For we are a sweet savour of Christ unto God, in them that are being saved, and in them that are perishing;
yasmād yē trāṇaṁ lapsyantē yē ca vināśaṁ gamiṣyanti tān prati vayam īśvarēṇa khrīṣṭasya saugandhyaṁ bhavāmaḥ|
16 to the one a savour from death unto death; to the other a savour from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
vayam ēkēṣāṁ mr̥tyavē mr̥tyugandhā aparēṣāñca jīvanāya jīvanagandhā bhavāmaḥ, kintvētādr̥śakarmmasādhanē kaḥ samarthō'sti?
17 For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.
anyē bahavō lōkā yadvad īśvarasya vākyaṁ mr̥ṣāśikṣayā miśrayanti vayaṁ tadvat tanna miśrayantaḥ saralabhāvēnēśvarasya sākṣād īśvarasyādēśāt khrīṣṭēna kathāṁ bhāṣāmahē|
