2 karinthinaḥ 4
1 aparañca vayaṁ karuṇābhājō bhūtvā yad ētat paricārakapadam alabhāmahi nātra klāmyāmaḥ,
THEREFORE seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 kintu trapāyuktāni pracchannakarmmāṇi vihāya kuṭilatācaraṇamakurvvanta īśvarīyavākyaṁ mithyāvākyairamiśrayantaḥ satyadharmmasya prakāśanēnēśvarasya sākṣāt sarvvamānavānāṁ saṁvēdagōcarē svān praśaṁsanīyān darśayāmaḥ|
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 asmābhi rghōṣitaḥ susaṁvādō yadi pracchannaḥ; syāt tarhi yē vinaṁkṣyanti tēṣāmēva dr̥ṣṭitaḥ sa pracchannaḥ;
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 yata īśvarasya pratimūrtti ryaḥ khrīṣṭastasya tējasaḥ susaṁvādasya prabhā yat tān na dīpayēt tadartham iha lōkasya dēvō'viśvāsināṁ jñānanayanam andhīkr̥tavān ētasyōdāharaṇaṁ tē bhavanti| (aiōn g165)
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (aiōn g165)
5 vayaṁ svān ghōṣayāma iti nahi kintu khrīṣṭaṁ yīśuṁ prabhumēvāsmāṁśca yīśōḥ kr̥tē yuṣmākaṁ paricārakān ghōṣayāmaḥ|
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 ya īśvarō madhyētimiraṁ prabhāṁ dīpanāyādiśat sa yīśukhrīṣṭasyāsya īśvarīyatējasō jñānaprabhāyā udayārtham asmākam antaḥkaraṇēṣu dīpitavān|
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 aparaṁ tad dhanam asmābhi rmr̥ṇmayēṣu bhājanēṣu dhāryyatē yataḥ sādbhutā śakti rnāsmākaṁ kintvīśvarasyaivēti jñātavyaṁ|
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 vayaṁ padē padē pīḍyāmahē kintu nāvasīdāmaḥ, vayaṁ vyākulāḥ santō'pi nirupāyā na bhavāmaḥ;
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 vayaṁ pradrāvyamānā api na klāmyāmaḥ, nipātitā api na vinaśyāmaḥ|
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 asmākaṁ śarīrē khrīṣṭasya jīvanaṁ yat prakāśēta tadarthaṁ tasmin śarīrē yīśō rmaraṇamapi dhārayāmaḥ|
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 yīśō rjīvanaṁ yad asmākaṁ marttyadēhē prakāśēta tadarthaṁ jīvantō vayaṁ yīśōḥ kr̥tē nityaṁ mr̥tyau samarpyāmahē|
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 itthaṁ vayaṁ mr̥tyākrāntā yūyañca jīvanākrāntāḥ|
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 viśvāsakāraṇādēva samabhāṣi mayā vacaḥ| iti yathā śāstrē likhitaṁ tathaivāsmābhirapi viśvāsajanakam ātmānaṁ prāpya viśvāsaḥ kriyatē tasmācca vacāṁsi bhāṣyantē|
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 prabhu ryīśu ryēnōtthāpitaḥ sa yīśunāsmānapyutthāpayiṣyati yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ svasamīpa upasthāpayiṣyati ca, vayam ētat jānīmaḥ|
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 ataēva yuṣmākaṁ hitāya sarvvamēva bhavati tasmād bahūnāṁ pracurānugrahaprāptē rbahulōkānāṁ dhanyavādēnēśvarasya mahimā samyak prakāśiṣyatē|
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 tatō hētō rvayaṁ na klāmyāmaḥ kintu bāhyapuruṣō yadyapi kṣīyatē tathāpyāntarikaḥ puruṣō dinē dinē nūtanāyatē|
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 kṣaṇamātrasthāyi yadētat laghiṣṭhaṁ duḥkhaṁ tad atibāhulyēnāsmākam anantakālasthāyi gariṣṭhasukhaṁ sādhayati, (aiōnios g166)
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 yatō vayaṁ pratyakṣān viṣayān anuddiśyāpratyakṣān uddiśāmaḥ| yatō hētōḥ pratyakṣaviṣayāḥ kṣaṇamātrasthāyinaḥ kintvapratyakṣā anantakālasthāyinaḥ| (aiōnios g166)
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
