2 Corinthians 13

1 [In the Scriptures it is stated that when one person] accuses [another of wrongdoing, you must not believe his] accusation [right away]. [First, you must listen to at least] two or three people who actually saw what happened. [So keep in mind that] this will be the third time that I will visit you!

१मी आता तिसर्‍या वेळी तुमच्याकडे येत आहे. दोन किंवा तीन साक्षीदारांच्या तोंडून प्रत्येक शब्द सिद्ध होईल.

2 When I visited you the second time, I warned you [that I was going to punish all the wrongdoers among you]. [And now] I am [warning you] again while I am still away [from you]. When I visit you this third time, I will punish those who were sinning [at the time when I visited you] before [and who are still sinning], and I will [punish] the others [who have been sinning since then, if they have not stopped their sinful behavior].

२ज्यांनी पूर्वी पाप केले होते त्यांना आणि दुसर्‍या सगळ्यांना मी अगोदर सांगितले होते आणि दुसर्‍या वेळी स्वतः आलो होतो तेव्हाप्रमाणे आता दूर असताना मी आधी सांगतो की, मी जर पुन्हा आलो तर गय करणार नाही.

3 Because you have demanded that I prove to you that Christ is speaking [to you when] I [speak to you, I will show you that I speak to you as his apostle. Christ] does not approve of your sinful behavior. On the contrary, he will powerfully [discipline you].

३कारण माझ्याद्वारे ख्रिस्त बोलतो ह्याचे प्रमाण तुम्हास पाहिजे ते हेच; तो तुमच्यासंबंधाने दुर्बळ नाही पण तुमच्यात समर्थ आहे.

4 [It is true that] Christ [seemed to be] weak when he was crucified {when [people] killed him by nailing him to the cross}. But [it is also true that] he [now] lives because God [worked] powerfully [to bring him back to life. Similarly], as I [serve] God, I also am a weak human [being as Christ was]. But I also [have a close relationship with] Christ [who is now alive again]. And with his [authority] I will use God’s power [to discipline] you.

४कारण जरी अशक्तपणात तो वधस्तंभावर खिळला गेला तरी देवाच्या सामर्थ्याने तो जिवंत आहे कारण त्याच्यात आम्हीही दुर्बळ आहोत पण आम्ही देवाच्या सामर्थ्याने तुमच्यासाठी जिवंत राहू.

5 Each of you should ask yourself: “[Do I] believe [God’s message about Christ?]” Each of you should [examine yourselves to] make sure that you truly do [believe] in Christ [and so truly belong to him], and that [his Spirit lives] in you [(pl)]. When you examine yourselves [in that way], I am sure that you will [RHQ] say [to me], “Yes, of course we [belong to] Christ.”

५तुम्ही विश्वासात आहात किंवा नाही म्हणून आपली स्वतःची परीक्षा करा. आपली स्वतःची पारख करा. तुम्हास आपल्यात येशू ख्रिस्त आहे हे कळत नाही काय? नसेल तर मग, तुम्ही पसंतीस न उतरलेले आहात.

6 I am [also] certain that you will know that I [belong to Christ, just like you do].

६मी आशा करतो की, आम्ही पसंतीस न उतरलेले नाही हे तुम्ही ओळखाल.

7 But [because I do not want to have to punish you], I am praying to God that he will help you not to do anything evil [that would cause me to have to punish you. I pray this], not in order that when people [who say that I am not your apostle] realize [that my ministry among you has been very successful, they will have to agree] that I do have authority from Christ. Instead, [I pray this because I want] you to do what is right, even though that might mean that [my opponents would think] that I do not have authority from Christ, [since I would not have an opportunity to show my authority to discipline you].

७आता देवाजवळ अशी प्रार्थना करतो की तुम्ही काही वाईट करू नये; म्हणजे आम्ही स्वीकृत दिसावे म्हणून नाही, पण आम्ही स्वीकृत नसलो तरी तुम्ही चांगले ते करावे.

8 [If you do what is right, I will not discipline you], [because it would] not [be right for me to do that if you are conducting your lives the way you should, like] God’s true [message says that you should. What God asks me to do is to help people to know and obey his] true [message].

८कारण आम्ही सत्याविरुद्ध काही करत नाही, तर सत्यासाठी करतो.

9 I am happy [whenever] you are strongly [trusting and obeying Christ, and because of that I do not have to use my authority to discipline you. It does not matter to me if that makes people think that I do not have any authority]. Truly, what I am praying for is that [God] will [help] you to completely change your conduct.

९जेव्हा आम्ही दुर्बळ आहोत व तुम्ही बलवान आहात तेव्हा आम्ही आनंद करतो व तुम्ही परिपूर्ण व्हावे ह्यासाठीही प्रार्थना करतो.

10 That is why I am writing these things while I am still away from you. [What I want is that] when I visit you, [you will already be conducting your lives as God wants you to], and so I will not have to [discipline you] severely, as the [Lord Jesus Christ gave me] the authority to do. The authority that I have from the Lord is to help you to become [spiritually] mature believers, not to cause you to stop [trusting in him].

१०एवढ्याकरता दूर असताना मी या गोष्टी लिहीत आहे, म्हणजे प्रभूने मला जो अधिकार उभारणी करण्यास दिलेला आहे, नाश करण्यास नाही, त्याचा उपयोग करून, मी तेथे असताना कडकपणाने वागू नये.

11 Finally, my fellow believers, [I say to you], be joyful. Completely [change how you conduct your lives], and do what I have urged you [to do]. Be united in what you think [about the matters about which I have written to you]. Live peacefully [with each other. If you do those things], God, who [enables you to] love [each other] and be peaceful, will bless [MTY] you.

११शेवटी, बंधूंनो, आनंद करा तुम्ही आपली अधिकाधिक सुधारणा करा. तुमचे सांत्वन होवो. तुम्ही एकमनाचे व्हा व शांतीने रहा आणि प्रीतीचा व शांतीचा देव तुमच्याबरोबर राहील.

12 Greet each other affectionately as [fellow members] of God’s family [should].

१२पवित्र अभिवादनाने एकमेकांना सलाम करा.

13 All God’s people [here] send you greetings.

१३तुम्हास सर्व पवित्रजन सलाम सांगतात.

14 [I pray that] the Lord Jesus Christ will act kindly [toward] all of you, in ways that you do not deserve, that God will [show all of you how much he] loves you, and that the Holy Spirit [will cause you to have good] fellowship [with him and with each other].

१४प्रभू येशू ख्रिस्ताची कृपा, देवाची प्रीती आणि पवित्र आत्म्याची सहभागिता तुम्हा सर्वांबरोबर असो. आमेन.
