2 Corinthians 7
1 My friends, whom I love, because [God] has promised [to accept us(inc) as his children], we [(inc)] must stop doing anything that is sinful. We must not do sinful things with our bodies, and we must not [think] sinful thoughts. [Because] we greatly revere God, we must strive to [live] a completely pure life. By doing that we will become the kind of people that he wants us to be.

2 So, as I just wrote, I want you to love me (OR, us [IDM] [who are true apostles of Christ]). I/we [(exc)] have never done anything wrong to any of you. I/we have not done anything to harm any one of you spiritually or financially. And I/we have not tried to get money from [you] (for myself/for ourselves).

3 [It is true that some people among you have said that I have done such things. Nevertheless], I am not trying to make you all feel ashamed because, as I wrote before, I will continue to love you all very much [IDM], whether I live with you or die with you. I am very confident about you.

4 I am very pleased with you. You have greatly encouraged me, so that I am now very joyful in spite of all the hardships that I have endured.

5 Now [I will write more about what I was saying about Titus]. When I [left Troas and] came [here to] Macedonia [province], I still did not get any rest. Everywhere we [(exc)] went, [people were constantly] causing us trouble. [And not only were] people [constantly causing us] trouble, but I was greatly concerned [about you all].

6 But God, who always encourages his people when they are discouraged, encouraged us by [sending] Titus back to us.
கிந்து நம்ராணாம்’ ஸாந்த்வயிதா ய ஈஸ்²வர: ஸ தீதஸ்யாக³மநேநாஸ்மாந் அஸாந்த்வயத்|
7 I was encouraged by [seeing] Titus, [but when I heard how] you had encouraged him, that encouraged me even more. He told me how much you wanted [to see me. He told me] that you were very sorry [that you had made me so unhappy. He also told me] that you are very eager for me [to continue to serve as your apostle. When Titus told me those things], I was very, very happy.

8 Even though what [I wrote] in my letter (distressed you/made you sad), I am not sorry [that I wrote it]. For a while I was sorry that I had written it, [because I knew that it would distress you]. Now [Titus has also told] me that it did distress you [when you read it], but you were distressed only for a short time.
அஹம்’ பத்ரேண யுஷ்மாந் ஸோ²கயுக்தாந் க்ரு’தவாந் இத்யஸ்மாத்³ அந்வதப்யே கிந்த்வது⁴நா நாநுதப்யே| தேந பத்ரேண யூயம்’ க்ஷணமாத்ரம்’ ஸோ²கயுக்தீபூ⁴தா இதி மயா த்³ரு’ஸ்²யதே|
9 [So now] I am happy [that I wrote it]. I am not happy that you were distressed {that [I] distressed you}, but [I am happy] because, when you became distressed, you felt sorry for what you had done and [you asked God to forgive you. What I mean is that you felt sorry in the way that God wanted you to feel sorry, so my making] you feel sorry did not harm you at all.
இத்யஸ்மிந் யுஷ்மாகம்’ ஸோ²கேநாஹம்’ ஹ்ரு’ஷ்யாமி தந்நஹி கிந்து மந: பரிவர்த்தநாய யுஷ்மாகம்’ ஸோ²கோ(அ)ப⁴வத்³ இத்யநேந ஹ்ரு’ஷ்யாமி யதோ(அ)ஸ்மத்தோ யுஷ்மாகம்’ காபி ஹாநி ர்யந்ந ப⁴வேத் தத³ர்த²ம்’ யுஷ்மாகம் ஈஸ்²வரீய: ஸோ²கோ ஜாத: |
10 [The fact is that] when God causes [us to feel] truly sorry for having sinned and we turn from our sinful behavior, then God saves us [and will not punish us for the sinful things that we have done]. And no one is ever sorry about that. [However], the people who do not trust [in God] [MTY] may be sorry [for the sinful things that they have done]. But [if they do not turn from their sinful behavior and ask God to forgive them], they will remain separated from him forever.
ஸ ஈஸ்²வரீய: ஸோ²க: பரித்ராணஜநகம்’ நிரநுதாபம்’ மந: பரிவர்த்தநம்’ ஸாத⁴யதி கிந்து ஸாம்’ஸாரிக: ஸோ²கோ ம்ரு’த்யும்’ ஸாத⁴யதி|
11 But [think about what happened when you read my letter]: God caused you to be truly sorry [for what you had done]. You eagerly [wanted to do what was right], and you wanted to show [God] (OR, [me]) that you had done the right thing. You were angry [about what had happened], and you were worried [that God would punish you if the situation continued]. You also wanted me [to visit you to encourage and help you]. You wanted me to know [that you really do accept me as your apostle, and that you punished the man who had sinned, as I told you to do. By doing] all of those things, you have shown [me] that you have done what is right in this matter.
பஸ்²யத தேநேஸ்²வரீயேண ஸோ²கேந யுஷ்மாகம்’ கிம்’ ந ஸாதி⁴தம்’? யத்நோ தோ³ஷப்ரக்ஷாலநம் அஸந்துஷ்டத்வம்’ ஹார்த்³த³ம் ஆஸக்தத்வம்’ ப²லதா³நஞ்சைதாநி ஸர்வ்வாணி| தஸ்மிந் கர்ம்மணி யூயம்’ நிர்ம்மலா இதி ப்ரமாணம்’ ஸர்வ்வேண ப்ரகாரேண யுஷ்மாபி⁴ ர்த³த்தம்’|
12 So, even though I wrote that [severe] letter to you, I did not [write it just] so that [you would punish] the man who had done what was wrong. Also, I [did not write it] for the benefit of the person whom [he] had wronged. Instead, [I wrote it] so that, when you [read the letter], God would enable you to realize how much you really do respect [my authority].

13 So, [because you listened to me and did what I asked you to do], (I was/we [(exc)] were all) encouraged. Not only (was I/were we) encouraged, but (I was/we [(exc)] were) [also] very happy to see how happy Titus was [when he arrived here. He told me/us that] he did not need to worry any more, because [he saw] that you all [had a good attitude toward me].

14 I had told Titus that I was pleased about you. And I did not need to be ashamed [for feeling that way about you, because you did what I knew that you would do]. Just like everything that I have taught you [and written to you] has been the truth, the good things that I told Titus about you were also true.

15 Now he happily remembers how you all [were willing to] do [what I asked you to do]. He is [also happy about the way you] treated him with great respect. [When he thinks about those things], [it makes] him love you even more [than he did when he was with you].

16 [As for me], I am very happy [because now] I am certain that I can depend on you [to do what you know God wants you to do].
