2 Corinthians 1
1 [I], Paul, who [write this letter to you], became an apostle of Christ Jesus because God chose me for that. [Timothy, our] fellow believer, [is with me. I am sending this letter] to you who are God’s people in the congregations in Corinth [city. I want] the believers who live in [other places] in Achaia [province to also read this letter].
१पौलुस की ओर से जो परमेश्वर की इच्छा से मसीह यीशु का प्रेरित है, और भाई तीमुथियुस की ओर से परमेश्वर की उस कलीसिया के नाम जो कुरिन्थुस में है, और सारे अखाया के सब पवित्र लोगों के नाम:
2 [We(exc) desire] that you will [experience] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [acting] kindly toward you and causing you to have [inner] peace.
२हमारे पिता परमेश्वर और प्रभु यीशु मसीह की ओर से तुम्हें अनुग्रह और शान्ति मिलती रहे।
3 [We should] praise God, who is the father of our [(inc)] Lord Jesus Christ. He always pities us and helps us [because he is like] [MET] a father to us [and we are like his children]. He always encourages us [(inc)].
३हमारे प्रभु यीशु मसीह के परमेश्वर, और पिता का धन्यवाद हो, जो दया का पिता, और सब प्रकार की शान्ति का परमेश्वर है।
4 He has encouraged us [(exc)] whenever we suffered hardships. As a result, we [(exc)] are able to encourage others whenever they suffer hardships, just as/just like God has encouraged us [(exc)].
४वह हमारे सब क्लेशों में शान्ति देता है; ताकि हम उस शान्ति के कारण जो परमेश्वर हमें देता है, उन्हें भी शान्ति दे सकें, जो किसी प्रकार के क्लेश में हों।
5 It is true that just like Christ suffered, we [who serve him] also continually suffer [because we belong to him]. But also, because we [belong to] Christ, God greatly strengthens us (just as/just like) [God strengthened him].
५क्योंकि जैसे मसीह के दुःख हमको अधिक होते हैं, वैसे ही हमारी शान्ति में भी मसीह के द्वारा अधिक सहभागी होते है।
6 So, whenever we [(exc)] experience sufferings, we [learn how to encourage] you [when you experience sufferings. As a result, you will become more and more the kind of people God] wants you to be. Whenever [God] strengthens us [(exc) when we are suffering, he] does that in order that you [may see how he makes us strong when we are suffering. Then, as God] encourages [you in that way], you will learn to continue patiently [trusting him] when you suffer as we do.
६यदि हम क्लेश पाते हैं, तो यह तुम्हारी शान्ति और उद्धार के लिये है और यदि शान्ति पाते हैं, तो यह तुम्हारी शान्ति के लिये है; जिसके प्रभाव से तुम धीरज के साथ उन क्लेशों को सह लेते हो, जिन्हें हम भी सहते हैं।
7 As a result, we [(exc)] strongly expect that because you suffer just as/just like we do, [God] will encourage you (just as/just like) [he] encourages us.
७और हमारी आशा तुम्हारे विषय में दृढ़ है; क्योंकि हम जानते हैं, कि तुम जैसे दुःखों के वैसे ही शान्ति के भी सहभागी हो।
8 [Our] fellow believers, we [(exc)] want you to know [LIT] about the trouble that we suffered in Asia [province]. That trouble was so very great that it was much more than we were able to endure. As a result, we [(exc)] thought that we would certainly die.
८हे भाइयों, हम नहीं चाहते कि तुम हमारे उस क्लेश से अनजान रहो, जो आसिया में हम पर पड़ा, कि ऐसे भारी बोझ से दब गए थे, जो हमारी सामर्थ्य से बाहर था, यहाँ तक कि हम जीवन से भी हाथ धो बैठे थे।
9 Indeed, we felt [like a person feels when he has heard a judge say], “I condemn you to die/be executed [MET].” But [God allowed us to think that we were going to die] so that we would not (rely on/trust in) our own [strength. He wanted us] instead [to rely] only on his [strength, because he] is the one who [has power even to make] those who have died live [again].
९वरन् हमने अपने मन में समझ लिया था, कि हम पर मृत्यु की सजा हो चुकी है कि हम अपना भरोसा न रखें, वरन् परमेश्वर का जो मरे हुओं को जिलाता है।
10 And [even though] we [(exc)] were [in terrible danger and were] about to die, God rescued us. And he will continue to rescue us [whenever we are in trouble]. We confidently expect that he will continue to rescue us [time after time].
१०उसी ने हमें मृत्यु के ऐसे बड़े संकट से बचाया, और बचाएगा; और उससे हमारी यह आशा है, कि वह आगे को भी बचाता रहेगा।
11 [And we are also relying on] you to help us by praying for us [(exc)]. [If many people pray for us], many people will also thank [God] when [he] kindly answers those many prayers [and delivers us from danger].
११और तुम भी मिलकर प्रार्थना के द्वारा हमारी सहायता करोगे, कि जो वरदान बहुतों के द्वारा हमें मिला, उसके कारण बहुत लोग हमारी ओर से धन्यवाद करें।
12 I am happy [to say] that I have behaved toward all people [MTY] in an honest and sincere way. My conscience assures me [that this is true]. Especially, I have behaved toward you [honestly and sincerely because that is what] God wants us to do. As I have done that, [my thoughts] have not been the thoughts that unbelieving people [MTY] [think are] wise. Instead, [I have behaved toward people only as God wants me to, depending on] God to help me in ways that I do not deserve.
१२क्योंकि हम अपने विवेक की इस गवाही पर घमण्ड करते हैं, कि जगत में और विशेष करके तुम्हारे बीच हमारा चरित्र परमेश्वर के योग्य ऐसी पवित्रता और सच्चाई सहित था, जो शारीरिक ज्ञान से नहीं, परन्तु परमेश्वर के अनुग्रह के साथ था।
13 [I say that] because [in all my letters to you] I have always written [LIT] clearly in a way that you can easily and completely understand [when you] read them.
१३हम तुम्हें और कुछ नहीं लिखते, केवल वह जो तुम पढ़ते या मानते भी हो, और मुझे आशा है, कि अन्त तक भी मानते रहोगे।
14 [Previously some of] you, but not all of you, have completely understood [that I am always honest and sincere with you]. But I confidently expect that [soon] you will all be fully convinced [about that]. Then when the Lord Jesus [MTY] [returns, you will all be able to say that] you are pleased with me, just like I will [be able to say that] I am pleased with you.
१४जैसा तुम में से कितनों ने मान लिया है, कि हम तुम्हारे घमण्ड का कारण है; वैसे तुम भी प्रभु यीशु के दिन हमारे लिये घमण्ड का कारण ठहरोगे।
15 It was because I felt sure [that all of you were pleased with me] that I was planning to visit you on my way from [here] to Macedonia [province]. I also planned to visit you again on my way back from there, so that I could [spend time with you] twice, and be able to help you more, and I was hoping that you would [give me things that I needed] [EUP] for my journey to Judea [province].
१५और इस भरोसे से मैं चाहता था कि पहले तुम्हारे पास आऊँ; कि तुम्हें एक और दान मिले।
१६और तुम्हारे पास से होकर मकिदुनिया को जाऊँ, और फिर मकिदुनिया से तुम्हारे पास आऊँ और तुम मुझे यहूदिया की ओर कुछ दूर तक पहुँचाओ।
17 So then, even though I [changed my mind later and did not do what] I [first] planned to do, [it was not because I did not have an important reason for changing my plans]. Surely you do not [really think] that I decide what I am going to do like people who do not know God do! [RHQ] I am [not like that]. I am not [a person who] says [to people], “Yes, [certainly I will do that],” and then [for no good reason changes his mind and says], “No, [I will not do it].”
१७इसलिए मैंने जो यह इच्छा की थी तो क्या मैंने चंचलता दिखाई? या जो करना चाहता हूँ क्या शरीर के अनुसार करना चाहता हूँ, कि मैं बात में ‘हाँ, हाँ’ भी करूँ; और ‘नहीं, नहीं’ भी करूँ?
18 Just as surely as God always does what he says [he will do, it is true that I have never said], “Yes, [I will do this]” when I [really meant] “No.”
१८परमेश्वर विश्वासयोग्य है, कि हमारे उस वचन में जो तुम से कहा ‘हाँ’ और ‘नहीं’ दोनों पाए नहीं जाते।
19 [I follow the example of] God’s Son, Jesus Christ. When I, along with Silas and Timothy, taught you [about Christ], we told you that he was not [someone who said that he] would do [something] and [then] did not [do it]. Jesus Christ never [said to anyone], “Yes, [I will do what you desire],” and [then did] not [do it].
१९क्योंकि परमेश्वर का पुत्र यीशु मसीह जिसका हमारे द्वारा अर्थात् मेरे और सिलवानुस और तीमुथियुस के द्वारा तुम्हारे बीच में प्रचार हुआ; उसमें ‘हाँ’ और ‘नहीं’ दोनों न थी; परन्तु, उसमें ‘हाँ’ ही ‘हाँ’ हुई।
20 [We(inc) know that is true], because everything that God promised to do [for his people], he has done completely by [sending] Christ [to save us]. That is why we say, “Yes, it is true! [God has done everything that he promised to do]!” And we praise him for that!
२०क्योंकि परमेश्वर की जितनी प्रतिज्ञाएँ हैं, वे सब उसी में ‘हाँ’ के साथ हैं इसलिए उसके द्वारा आमीन भी हुई, कि हमारे द्वारा परमेश्वर की महिमा हो।
21 Now it is only God himself who causes us [(exc)], as well as you, to keep on [believing] strongly in Christ. God is the one who chose us [(inc) to belong to him and to have a close relationship] with Christ.
२१और जो हमें तुम्हारे साथ मसीह में दृढ़ करता है, और जिसने हमें अभिषेक किया वही परमेश्वर है।
22 He also sent his Holy Spirit into our [(inc)] lives to mark us as belonging to himself [MET]. Also, since he has sent his Spirit to live in us [(inc)], [he wants us to know by this that] he guarantees [MET] [to give us every other] ([blessing/good thing]) [that he has promised].
२२जिसने हम पर छाप भी कर दी है और बयाने में आत्मा को हमारे मनों में दिया।
23 So now [I will tell you why I changed my mind and did not visit you as I intended to do]: God himself knows [that what I am telling you is true]. The reason that I did not return to Corinth was so that I might not have to [speak to you severely about the wrong that you had done].
२३मैं परमेश्वर को गवाह करता हूँ, कि मैं अब तक कुरिन्थुस में इसलिए नहीं आया, कि मुझे तुम पर तरस आता था।
24 It is not that Silas, Timothy and I want to boss you [and tell you that you must] believe only what we say. [Not at all]! On the contrary, we [(exc)] are working as partners [with you] in order to make you happy. [We do not try to force you to believe everything that we believe, because we are sure that you are continuing to] trust [the Lord Jesus Christ] and that you are remaining firmly committed to him.
२४यह नहीं, कि हम विश्वास के विषय में तुम पर प्रभुता जताना चाहते हैं; परन्तु तुम्हारे आनन्द में सहायक हैं क्योंकि तुम विश्वास ही से स्थिर रहते हो।
