2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
īśvarasyecchayā yīśukhrīṣṭasya preritaḥ paulastimathirbhrātā ca dvāvetau karinthanagarasthāyai īśvarīyasamitaya ākhāyādeśasthebhyaḥ sarvvebhyaḥ pavitralokebhyaśca patraṁ likhataḥ|
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmākaṁ tātasyeśvarasya prabhoryīśukhrīṣṭasya cānugrahaḥ śāntiśca yuṣmāsu varttatāṁ|
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
kṛpāluḥ pitā sarvvasāntvanākārīśvaraśca yo'smatprabhoryīśukhrīṣṭasya tāta īśvaraḥ sa dhanyo bhavatu|
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
yato vayam īśvarāt sāntvanāṁ prāpya tayā sāntvanayā yat sarvvavidhakliṣṭān lokān sāntvayituṁ śaknuyāma tadarthaṁ so'smākaṁ sarvvakleśasamaye'smān sāntvayati|
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
yataḥ khrīṣṭasya kleśā yadvad bāhulyenāsmāsu varttante tadvad vayaṁ khrīṣṭena bahusāntvanāḍhyā api bhavāmaḥ|
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
vayaṁ yadi kliśyāmahe tarhi yuṣmākaṁ sāntvanāparitrāṇayoḥ kṛte kliśyāmahe yato'smābhi ryādṛśāni duḥkhāni sahyante yuṣmākaṁ tādṛśaduḥkhānāṁ sahanena tau sādhayiṣyete ityasmin yuṣmānadhi mama dṛḍhā pratyāśā bhavati|
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
yadi vā vayaṁ sāntvanāṁ labhāmahe tarhi yuṣmākaṁ sāntvanāparitrāṇayoḥ kṛte tāmapi labhāmahe| yato yūyaṁ yādṛg duḥkhānāṁ bhāgino'bhavata tādṛk sāntvanāyā api bhāgino bhaviṣyatheti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
8 For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
he bhrātaraḥ, āśiyādeśe yaḥ kleśo'smān ākrāmyat taṁ yūyaṁ yad anavagatāstiṣṭhata tanmayā bhadraṁ na manyate| tenātiśaktikleśena vayamatīva pīḍitāstasmāt jīvanarakṣaṇe nirupāyā jātāśca,
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
ato vayaṁ sveṣu na viśvasya mṛtalokānām utthāpayitarīśvare yad viśvāsaṁ kurmmastadartham asmābhiḥ prāṇadaṇḍo bhoktavya iti svamanasi niścitaṁ|
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
etādṛśabhayaṅkarāt mṛtyo ryo 'smān atrāyatedānīmapi trāyate sa itaḥ paramapyasmān trāsyate 'smākam etādṛśī pratyāśā vidyate|
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
etadarthamasmatkṛte prārthanayā vayaṁ yuṣmābhirupakarttavyāstathā kṛte bahubhi ryācito yo'nugraho'smāsu varttiṣyate tatkṛte bahubhirīśvarasya dhanyavādo'pi kāriṣyate|
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
aparañca saṁsāramadhye viśeṣato yuṣmanmadhye vayaṁ sāṁsārikyā dhiyā nahi kintvīśvarasyānugraheṇākuṭilatām īśvarīyasāralyañcācaritavanto'trāsmākaṁ mano yat pramāṇaṁ dadāti tena vayaṁ ślāghāmahe|
13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
yuṣmābhi ryad yat paṭhyate gṛhyate ca tadanyat kimapi yuṣmabhyam asmābhi rna likhyate taccāntaṁ yāvad yuṣmābhi rgrahīṣyata ityasmākam āśā|
14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
yūyamitaḥ pūrvvamapyasmān aṁśato gṛhītavantaḥ, yataḥ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya dine yadvad yuṣmāsvasmākaṁ ślāghā tadvad asmāsu yuṣmākamapi ślāghā bhaviṣyati|
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
aparaṁ yūyaṁ yad dvitīyaṁ varaṁ labhadhve tadarthamitaḥ pūrvvaṁ tayā pratyāśayā yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gamiṣyāmi
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
yuṣmaddeśena mākidaniyādeśaṁ vrajitvā punastasmāt mākidaniyādeśāt yuṣmatsamīpam etya yuṣmābhi ryihūdādeśaṁ preṣayiṣye ceti mama vāñchāsīt|
17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
etādṛśī mantraṇā mayā kiṁ cāñcalyena kṛtā? yad yad ahaṁ mantraye tat kiṁ viṣayiloka̮iva mantrayāṇa ādau svīkṛtya paścād asvīkurvve?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
yuṣmān prati mayā kathitāni vākyānyagre svīkṛtāni śeṣe'svīkṛtāni nābhavan eteneśvarasya viśvastatā prakāśate|
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
mayā silvānena timathinā ceśvarasya putro yo yīśukhrīṣṭo yuṣmanmadhye ghoṣitaḥ sa tena svīkṛtaḥ punarasvīkṛtaśca tannahi kintu sa tasya svīkārasvarūpaeva|
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
īśvarasya mahimā yad asmābhiḥ prakāśeta tadartham īśvareṇa yad yat pratijñātaṁ tatsarvvaṁ khrīṣṭena svīkṛtaṁ satyībhūtañca|
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
yuṣmān asmāṁścābhiṣicya yaḥ khrīṣṭe sthāsnūn karoti sa īśvara eva|
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
sa cāsmān mudrāṅkitān akārṣīt satyāṅkārasya paṇakharūpam ātmānaṁ asmākam antaḥkaraṇeṣu nirakṣipacca|
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.
aparaṁ yuṣmāsu karuṇāṁ kurvvan aham etāvatkālaṁ yāvat karinthanagaraṁ na gatavān iti satyametasmin īśvaraṁ sākṣiṇaṁ kṛtvā mayā svaprāṇānāṁ śapathaḥ kriyate|
24 We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya niyantāro na bhavāmaḥ kintu yuṣmākam ānandasya sahāyā bhavāmaḥ, yasmād viśvāse yuṣmākaṁ sthiti rbhavati|
