2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Timothy the brother, —unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, together with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

īśvarasyēcchayā yīśukhrīṣṭasya prēritaḥ paulastimathirbhrātā ca dvāvētau karinthanagarasthāyai īśvarīyasamitaya ākhāyādēśasthēbhyaḥ sarvvēbhyaḥ pavitralōkēbhyaśca patraṁ likhataḥ|

2 Favour unto you, and peace, from God [our] Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.

asmākaṁ tātasyēśvarasya prabhōryīśukhrīṣṭasya cānugrahaḥ śāntiśca yuṣmāsu varttatāṁ|

3 Blessed, be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement,

kr̥pāluḥ pitā sarvvasāntvanākārīśvaraśca yō'smatprabhōryīśukhrīṣṭasya tāta īśvaraḥ sa dhanyō bhavatu|

4 Who encourageth us in all our tribulation, to the end we may be able to encourage them who are in any tribulation—through means of the encouragement wherewith we, ourselves, are encouraged by God.

yatō vayam īśvarāt sāntvanāṁ prāpya tayā sāntvanayā yat sarvvavidhakliṣṭān lōkān sāntvayituṁ śaknuyāma tadarthaṁ sō'smākaṁ sarvvaklēśasamayē'smān sāntvayati|

5 Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ overflow unto us, so, through the Christ, overfloweth, our encouragement also.

yataḥ khrīṣṭasya klēśā yadvad bāhulyēnāsmāsu varttantē tadvad vayaṁ khrīṣṭēna bahusāntvanāḍhyā api bhavāmaḥ|

6 But, whether we are in tribulation, it is for your encouragement and salvation; whether we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement, which worketh inwardly by the endurance of the same sufferings which, we also, suffer; —

vayaṁ yadi kliśyāmahē tarhi yuṣmākaṁ sāntvanāparitrāṇayōḥ kr̥tē kliśyāmahē yatō'smābhi ryādr̥śāni duḥkhāni sahyantē yuṣmākaṁ tādr̥śaduḥkhānāṁ sahanēna tau sādhayiṣyētē ityasmin yuṣmānadhi mama dr̥ḍhā pratyāśā bhavati|

7 And so, our hope, is sure in your behalf, —knowing that, —as ye are sharers of the sufferings, so, also of the encouragement.

yadi vā vayaṁ sāntvanāṁ labhāmahē tarhi yuṣmākaṁ sāntvanāparitrāṇayōḥ kr̥tē tāmapi labhāmahē| yatō yūyaṁ yādr̥g duḥkhānāṁ bhāginō'bhavata tādr̥k sāntvanāyā api bhāginō bhaviṣyathēti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened in Asia, —that, exceedingly, beyond power, were we weighed down, so that we despaired, even of life.

hē bhrātaraḥ, āśiyādēśē yaḥ klēśō'smān ākrāmyat taṁ yūyaṁ yad anavagatāstiṣṭhata tanmayā bhadraṁ na manyatē| tēnātiśaktiklēśēna vayamatīva pīḍitāstasmāt jīvanarakṣaṇē nirupāyā jātāśca,

9 But, we ourselves, within ourselves, have had the sentence of death, that we might not rest our confidence upon ourselves, but upon God, who raiseth the dead,

atō vayaṁ svēṣu na viśvasya mr̥talōkānām utthāpayitarīśvarē yad viśvāsaṁ kurmmastadartham asmābhiḥ prāṇadaṇḍō bhōktavya iti svamanasi niścitaṁ|

10 Who, out of so great a death, rescued us, and will rescue, —unto whom we have turned our hope, [that], even yet, he will rescue:

ētādr̥śabhayaṅkarāt mr̥tyō ryō 'smān atrāyatēdānīmapi trāyatē sa itaḥ paramapyasmān trāsyatē 'smākam ētādr̥śī pratyāśā vidyatē|

11 Ye also labouring together on our behalf, by your supplication, that, unto many persons, being due the gift of favour, unto us, through means of many, might thanks be given in our behalf.

ētadarthamasmatkr̥tē prārthanayā vayaṁ yuṣmābhirupakarttavyāstathā kr̥tē bahubhi ryācitō yō'nugrahō'smāsu varttiṣyatē tatkr̥tē bahubhirīśvarasya dhanyavādō'pi kāriṣyatē|

12 For, our boasting, is, this, —the witness of our conscience, that, in sanctity and sincerity of God, [and] not in fleshly wisdom, but in God’s favour, have we behaved ourselves in the world, —and more abundantly towards you.

aparañca saṁsāramadhyē viśēṣatō yuṣmanmadhyē vayaṁ sāṁsārikyā dhiyā nahi kintvīśvarasyānugrahēṇākuṭilatām īśvarīyasāralyañcācaritavantō'trāsmākaṁ manō yat pramāṇaṁ dadāti tēna vayaṁ ślāghāmahē|

13 For, no other things, are we writing unto you, than what ye are either reading or even acknowledging, —I hope, moreover, that, throughout, ye will acknowledge,

yuṣmābhi ryad yat paṭhyatē gr̥hyatē ca tadanyat kimapi yuṣmabhyam asmābhi rna likhyatē taccāntaṁ yāvad yuṣmābhi rgrahīṣyata ityasmākam āśā|

14 According as ye have also acknowledged us, in part, —that, your theme of boasting, we are, even indeed as, ye, also [shall be], ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

yūyamitaḥ pūrvvamapyasmān aṁśatō gr̥hītavantaḥ, yataḥ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya dinē yadvad yuṣmāsvasmākaṁ ślāghā tadvad asmāsu yuṣmākamapi ślāghā bhaviṣyati|

15 And, in this confidence, I purposed, before, to come unto you, —in order that, a second joy, ye might have, —

aparaṁ yūyaṁ yad dvitīyaṁ varaṁ labhadhvē tadarthamitaḥ pūrvvaṁ tayā pratyāśayā yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gamiṣyāmi

16 And, by your means, to pass into Macedonia, and, again, from Macedonia, to come unto you, and, by you, be set forward unto Judea: —

yuṣmaddēśēna mākidaniyādēśaṁ vrajitvā punastasmāt mākidaniyādēśāt yuṣmatsamīpam ētya yuṣmābhi ryihūdādēśaṁ prēṣayiṣyē cēti mama vāñchāsīt|

17 This, then, being my purpose, perhaps, after all, with lightness, I dealt [with the matter]? or, the things that I purpose, according to the flesh, I purpose, —that, with me, should be the Yea, yea, and the Nay, nay?

ētādr̥śī mantraṇā mayā kiṁ cāñcalyēna kr̥tā? yad yad ahaṁ mantrayē tat kiṁ viṣayilōka̮iva mantrayāṇa ādau svīkr̥tya paścād asvīkurvvē?

18 Faithful, however, is God, in that, our discourse, which was [delivered] unto you, is not Yea and Nay;

yuṣmān prati mayā kathitāni vākyānyagrē svīkr̥tāni śēṣē'svīkr̥tāni nābhavan ētēnēśvarasya viśvastatā prakāśatē|

19 For, the Son of God, Christ Jesus—who, among you, through us, was proclaimed, —through me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, became not Yea and Nay, —but Yea, in him, hath it become;

mayā silvānēna timathinā cēśvarasya putrō yō yīśukhrīṣṭō yuṣmanmadhyē ghōṣitaḥ sa tēna svīkr̥taḥ punarasvīkr̥taśca tannahi kintu sa tasya svīkārasvarūpaēva|

20 For, how many soever be the promises of God, in him, is the Yea, —wherefore also, through him, [be] the Amen, unto God, for glory, through us.

īśvarasya mahimā yad asmābhiḥ prakāśēta tadartham īśvarēṇa yad yat pratijñātaṁ tatsarvvaṁ khrīṣṭēna svīkr̥taṁ satyībhūtañca|

21 Now, he that confirmeth us, together with you, for Christ, and hath anointed us, is God:

yuṣmān asmāṁścābhiṣicya yaḥ khrīṣṭē sthāsnūn karōti sa īśvara ēva|

22 Who also hath sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

sa cāsmān mudrāṅkitān akārṣīt satyāṅkārasya paṇakharūpam ātmānaṁ asmākam antaḥkaraṇēṣu nirakṣipacca|

23 But, I, call upon God, as a witness, against my own soul, —that, to spare you, not yet, have I come unto Corinth:

aparaṁ yuṣmāsu karuṇāṁ kurvvan aham ētāvatkālaṁ yāvat karinthanagaraṁ na gatavān iti satyamētasmin īśvaraṁ sākṣiṇaṁ kr̥tvā mayā svaprāṇānāṁ śapathaḥ kriyatē|

24 Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are, helpers, of your joy, for, by your faith, ye stand.

vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya niyantārō na bhavāmaḥ kintu yuṣmākam ānandasya sahāyā bhavāmaḥ, yasmād viśvāsē yuṣmākaṁ sthiti rbhavati|
