2 karinthinaḥ 6

1 tasya sahāyā vayaṁ yuṣmān prārthayāmahē, īśvarasyānugrahō yuṣmābhi rvr̥thā na gr̥hyatāṁ|

But working together we indeed intreat you not to have received the grace of God in vain:

2 tēnōktamētat, saṁśrōṣyāmi śubhē kālē tvadīyāṁ prārthanām ahaṁ| upakāraṁ kariṣyāmi paritrāṇadinē tava| paśyatāyaṁ śubhakālaḥ paśyatēdaṁ trāṇadinaṁ|

(for he says, At a set time I heard you, and in the day of salvation I assisted you; behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation);

3 asmākaṁ paricaryyā yanniṣkalaṅkā bhavēt tadarthaṁ vayaṁ kutrāpi vighnaṁ na janayāmaḥ,

giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, in order that the ministry may not be blamed;

4 kintu pracurasahiṣṇutā klēśō dainyaṁ vipat tāḍanā kārābandhanaṁ nivāsahīnatvaṁ pariśramō jāgaraṇam upavasanaṁ

but in everything commending ourselves, as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulations, in straits, in difficulties,

5 nirmmalatvaṁ jñānaṁ mr̥duśīlatā hitaiṣitā

in stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labors, in vigils, in fastings;

6 pavitra ātmā niṣkapaṭaṁ prēma satyālāpa īśvarīyaśakti

by purity, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

7 rdakṣiṇavāmābhyāṁ karābhyāṁ dharmmāstradhāraṇaṁ

by the word of truth, by the power of God; through the arms of righteousness right and left,

8 mānāpamānayōrakhyātisukhyātyō rbhāgitvam ētaiḥ sarvvairīśvarasya praśaṁsyān paricārakān svān prakāśayāmaḥ|

through glory and dishonor, through evil report and good report; as deceivers, and true;

9 bhramakasamā vayaṁ satyavādinō bhavāmaḥ, aparicitasamā vayaṁ suparicitā bhavāmaḥ, mr̥takalpā vayaṁ jīvāmaḥ, daṇḍyamānā vayaṁ na hanyāmahē,

as being unknown, and perfectly known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and not killed;

10 śōkayuktāśca vayaṁ sadānandāmaḥ, daridrā vayaṁ bahūn dhaninaḥ kurmmaḥ, akiñcanāśca vayaṁ sarvvaṁ dhārayāmaḥ|

as sorrowing, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

11 hē karinthinaḥ, yuṣmākaṁ prati mamāsyaṁ muktaṁ mamāntaḥkaraṇāñca vikasitaṁ|

Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.

12 yūyaṁ mamāntarē na saṅkōcitāḥ kiñca yūyamēva saṅkōcitacittāḥ|

Be not straitened in reference to us, but be straitened in your own affections.

13 kintu mahyaṁ nyāyyaphaladānārthaṁ yuṣmābhirapi vikasitai rbhavitavyam ityahaṁ nijabālakāniva yuṣmān vadāmi|

But as I speak to children, you indeed receive this reward.

14 aparam apratyayibhiḥ sārddhaṁ yūyam ēkayugē baddhā mā bhūta, yasmād dharmmādharmmayōḥ kaḥ sambandhō'sti? timirēṇa sarddhaṁ prabhāyā vā kā tulanāsti?

Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what participation is there to righteousness and unrighteousness? or what fellowship has light unto darkness?

15 bilīyāladēvēna sākaṁ khrīṣṭasya vā kā sandhiḥ? aviśvāsinā sārddhaṁ vā viśvāsilōkasyāṁśaḥ kaḥ?

What concord of Christ unto Belial? or what part has a faithful man with an infidel?

16 īśvarasya mandirēṇa saha vā dēvapratimānāṁ kā tulanā? amarasyēśvarasya mandiraṁ yūyamēva| īśvarēṇa taduktaṁ yathā, tēṣāṁ madhyē'haṁ svāvāsaṁ nidhāsyāmi tēṣāṁ madhyē ca yātāyātaṁ kurvvan tēṣām īśvarō bhaviṣyāmi tē ca mallōkā bhaviṣyanti|

And what harmony has the temple of God with idols? for we are the temple of the living God; as God said; I will live in them, and walk about among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 atō hētōḥ paramēśvaraḥ kathayati yūyaṁ tēṣāṁ madhyād bahirbhūya pr̥thag bhavata, kimapyamēdhyaṁ na spr̥śata; tēnāhaṁ yuṣmān grahīṣyāmi,

Therefore come out from the midst of them, and be ye separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

18 yuṣmākaṁ pitā bhaviṣyāmi ca, yūyañca mama kanyāputrā bhaviṣyathēti sarvvaśaktimatā paramēśvarēṇōktaṁ|

and I will be to you for a Father, and you shall be unto me for sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
