2 karinthinaH 5

1 aparam asmAkam etasmin pArthive dUShyarUpe veshmani jIrNe satIshvareNa nirmmitam akarakR^itam asmAkam anantakAlasthAyi veshmaikaM svarge vidyata iti vayaM jAnImaH| (aiōnios g166)

For we know that, if our earthly tent-habitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)

2 yato hetoretasmin veshmani tiShThanto vayaM taM svargIyaM vAsaM paridhAtum AkA NkShyamANA niHshvasAmaH|

For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven;

3 tathApIdAnImapi vayaM tena na nagnAH kintu parihitavasanA manyAmahe|

since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked.

4 etasmin dUShye tiShThanato vayaM klishyamAnA niHshvasAmaH, yato vayaM vAsaM tyaktum ichChAmastannahi kintu taM dvitIyaM vAsaM paridhAtum ichChAmaH, yatastathA kR^ite jIvanena martyaM grasiShyate|

For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

5 etadarthaM vayaM yena sR^iShTAH sa Ishvara eva sa chAsmabhyaM satya NkArasya paNasvarUpam AtmAnaM dattavAn|

Now he that hath prepared us for this very thing is God; who also gave to us the Spirit as the pledge.

6 ataeva vayaM sarvvadotsukA bhavAmaH ki ncha sharIre yAvad asmAbhi rnyuShyate tAvat prabhuto dUre proShyata iti jAnImaH,

We have courage, therefore, always, and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

7 yato vayaM dR^iShTimArge na charAmaH kintu vishvAsamArge|

for we walk by faith, not by sight; but we have courage,

8 apara ncha sharIrAd dUre pravastuM prabhoH sannidhau nivastu nchAkA NkShyamANA utsukA bhavAmaH|

and are well pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

9 tasmAdeva kAraNAd vayaM tasya sannidhau nivasantastasmAd dUre pravasanto vA tasmai rochituM yatAmahe|

Wherefore we also strive that, whether at home or absent, we may be approved by him.

10 yasmAt sharIrAvasthAyAm ekaikena kR^itAnAM karmmaNAM shubhAshubhaphalaprAptaye sarvvaismAbhiH khrIShTasya vichArAsanasammukha upasthAtavyaM|

For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.

11 ataeva prabho rbhayAnakatvaM vij nAya vayaM manujAn anunayAmaH ki ncheshvarasya gochare saprakAshA bhavAmaH, yuShmAkaM saMvedagochare. api saprakAshA bhavAma ityAshaMsAmahe|

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but to God we have been made manifest, and I hope have been made manifest in your consciences also.

12 anena vayaM yuShmAkaM sannidhau punaH svAn prashaMsAma iti nahi kintu ye mano vinA mukhaiH shlAghante tebhyaH pratyuttaradAnAya yUyaM yathAsmAbhiH shlAghituM shaknutha tAdR^isham upAyaM yuShmabhyaM vitarAmaH|

For we are not again commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion to glory on our behalf; that ye may have somewhat to answer those who glory in outward appearance, and not in heart.

13 yadi vayaM hataj nAnA bhavAmastarhi tad IshvarArthakaM yadi cha saj nAnA bhavAmastarhi tad yuShmadarthakaM|

For whether we were beside ourselves, it was for God; or whether we are in our sound mind, it is for you.

14 vayaM khrIShTasya premnA samAkR^iShyAmahe yataH sarvveShAM vinimayena yadyeko jano. amriyata tarhi te sarvve mR^itA ityAsmAbhi rbudhyate|

For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judged, that if one died for all, then all died;

15 apara ncha ye jIvanti te yat svArthaM na jIvanti kintu teShAM kR^ite yo jano mR^itaH punarutthApitashcha tamuddishya yat jIvanti tadarthameva sa sarvveShAM kR^ite mR^itavAn|

and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for their sakes, and rose again.

16 ato hetoritaH paraM ko. apyasmAbhi rjAtito na pratij nAtavyaH|yadyapi pUrvvaM khrIShTo jAtito. asmAbhiH pratij nAtastathApIdAnIM jAtitaH puna rna pratij nAyate|

So that we henceforth know no one according to the flesh; and if we have even known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer know him.

17 kenachit khrIShTa Ashrite nUtanA sR^iShTi rbhavati purAtanAni lupyante pashya nikhilAni navInAni bhavanti|

Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

18 sarvva nchaitad Ishvarasya karmma yato yIshukhrIShTena sa evAsmAn svena sArddhaM saMhitavAn sandhAnasambandhIyAM paricharyyAm asmAsu samarpitavAMshcha|

And all things are from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 yataH IshvaraH khrIShTam adhiShThAya jagato janAnAm AgAMsi teShAm R^iNamiva na gaNayan svena sArddhaM tAn saMhitavAn sandhivArttAm asmAsu samarpitavAMshcha|

seeing that in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 ato vayaM khrIShTasya vinimayena dautyaM karmma sampAdayAmahe, IshvarashchAsmAbhi ryuShmAn yAyAchyate tataH khrIShTasya vinimayena vayaM yuShmAn prArthayAmahe yUyamIshvareNa sandhatta|

We then are ambassadors for Christ; as though God were exhorting you by us, in behalf of Christ we entreat you, Be reconciled to God.

21 yato vayaM tena yad IshvarIyapuNyaM bhavAmastadarthaM pApena saha yasya j nAteyaM nAsIt sa eva tenAsmAkaM vinimayena pApaH kR^itaH|

Him, who knew not sin, he made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
