2 Corinthians 13
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
etattṛtīyavāram ahaṁ yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gacchāmi tena sarvvā kathā dvayostrayāṇāṁ vā sākṣiṇāṁ mukhena niśceṣyate|
2 I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,
pūrvvaṁ ye kṛtapāpāstebhyo'nyebhyaśca sarvvebhyo mayā pūrvvaṁ kathitaṁ, punarapi vidyamānenevedānīm avidyamānena mayā kathyate, yadā punarāgamiṣyāmi tadāhaṁ na kṣamiṣye|
3 seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.
khrīṣṭo mayā kathāṁ kathayatyetasya pramāṇaṁ yūyaṁ mṛgayadhve, sa tu yuṣmān prati durbbalo nahi kintu sabala eva|
4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
yadyapi sa durbbalatayā kruśa āropyata tathāpīśvarīyaśaktayā jīvati; vayamapi tasmin durbbalā bhavāmaḥ, tathāpi yuṣmān prati prakāśitayeśvarīyaśaktyā tena saha jīviṣyāmaḥ|
5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
ato yūyaṁ viśvāsayuktā ādhve na veti jñātumātmaparīkṣāṁ kurudhvaṁ svānevānusandhatta| yīśuḥ khrīṣṭo yuṣmanmadhye vidyate svānadhi tat kiṁ na pratijānītha? tasmin avidyamāne yūyaṁ niṣpramāṇā bhavatha|
6 But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.
kintu vayaṁ niṣpramāṇā na bhavāma iti yuṣmābhi rbhotsyate tatra mama pratyāśā jāyate|
7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.
yūyaṁ kimapi kutsitaṁ karmma yanna kurutha tadaham īśvaramuddiśya prārthaye| vayaṁ yat prāmāṇikā iva prakāśāmahe tadarthaṁ tat prārthayāmaha iti nahi, kintu yūyaṁ yat sadācāraṁ kurutha vayañca niṣpramāṇā iva bhavāmastadarthaṁ|
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
yataḥ satyatāyā vipakṣatāṁ karttuṁ vayaṁ na samarthāḥ kintu satyatāyāḥ sāhāyyaṁ karttumeva|
9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.
vayaṁ yadā durbbalā bhavāmastadā yuṣmān sabalān dṛṣṭvānandāmo yuṣmākaṁ siddhatvaṁ prārthayāmahe ca|
10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
ato hetoḥ prabhu ryuṣmākaṁ vināśāya nahi kintu niṣṭhāyai yat sāmarthyam asmabhyaṁ dattavān tena yad upasthitikāle kāṭhinyaṁ mayācaritavyaṁ na bhavet tadartham anupasthitena mayā sarvvāṇyetāni likhyante|
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
he bhrātaraḥ, śeṣe vadāmi yūyam ānandata siddhā bhavata parasparaṁ prabodhayata, ekamanaso bhavata praṇayabhāvam ācarata| premaśāntyorākara īśvaro yuṣmākaṁ sahāyo bhūyāt|
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
yūyaṁ pavitracumbanena parasparaṁ namaskurudhvaṁ|
13 All the saints greet you.
pavitralokāḥ sarvve yuṣmān namanti|
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānugraha īśvarasya prema pavitrasyātmano bhāgitvañca sarvvān yuṣmān prati bhūyāt| tathāstu|
