2 Corinthians 2
1 But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
aparanjcAhaM punaH zOkAya yuSmatsannidhiM na gamiSyAmIti manasi niracaiSaM|
2 For if I make you grieve, then who will make me glad but he who is made to grieve by me?
yasmAd ahaM yadi yuSmAn zOkayuktAn karOmi tarhi mayA yaH zOkayuktIkRtastaM vinA kEnAparENAhaM harSayiSyE?
3 And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be shared by all of you.
mama yO harSaH sa yuSmAkaM sarvvESAM harSa EvEti nizcitaM mayAbOdhi; ataEva yairahaM harSayitavyastai rmadupasthitisamayE yanmama zOkO na jAyEta tadarthamEva yuSmabhyam EtAdRzaM patraM mayA likhitaM|
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made to grieve, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
vastutastu bahuklEzasya manaHpIPAyAzca samayE'haM bahvazrupAtEna patramEkaM likhitavAn yuSmAkaM zOkArthaM tannahi kintu yuSmAsu madIyaprEmabAhulyasya jnjApanArthaM|
5 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.
yEnAhaM zOkayuktIkRtastEna kEvalamahaM zOkayuktIkRtastannahi kintvaMzatO yUyaM sarvvE'pi yatO'hamatra kasmiMzcid dOSamArOpayituM nEcchAmi|
6 This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;
bahUnAM yat tarjjanaM tEna janEnAlambhi tat tadarthaM pracuraM|
7 so that, on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
ataH sa duHkhasAgarE yanna nimajjati tadarthaM yuSmAbhiH sa kSantavyaH sAntvayitavyazca|
8 Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.
iti hEtOH prarthayE'haM yuSmAbhistasmin dayA kriyatAM|
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
yUyaM sarvvakarmmaNi mamAdEzaM gRhlItha na vEti parIkSitum ahaM yuSmAn prati likhitavAn|
10 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
yasya yO dOSO yuSmAbhiH kSamyatE tasya sa dOSO mayApi kSamyatE yazca dOSO mayA kSamyatE sa yuSmAkaM kRtE khrISTasya sAkSAt kSamyatE|
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
zayatAnaH kalpanAsmAbhirajnjAtA nahi, atO vayaM yat tEna na vanjcyAmahE tadartham asmAbhiH sAvadhAnai rbhavitavyaM|
12 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
aparanjca khrISTasya susaMvAdaghOSaNArthaM mayi trOyAnagaramAgatE prabhOH karmmaNE ca madarthaM dvArE muktE
13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
satyapi svabhrAtustItasyAvidyamAnatvAt madIyAtmanaH kApi zAnti rna babhUva, tasmAd ahaM tAn visarjjanaM yAcitvA mAkidaniyAdEzaM gantuM prasthAnam akaravaM|
14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
ya IzvaraH sarvvadA khrISTEnAsmAn jayinaH karOti sarvvatra cAsmAbhistadIyajnjAnasya gandhaM prakAzayati sa dhanyaH|
15 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God in those who are saved and in those who perish:
yasmAd yE trANaM lapsyantE yE ca vinAzaM gamiSyanti tAn prati vayam IzvarENa khrISTasya saugandhyaM bhavAmaH|
16 to the one a stench from death to death, to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
vayam EkESAM mRtyavE mRtyugandhA aparESAnjca jIvanAya jIvanagandhA bhavAmaH, kintvEtAdRzakarmmasAdhanE kaH samarthO'sti?
17 For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
anyE bahavO lOkA yadvad Izvarasya vAkyaM mRSAzikSayA mizrayanti vayaM tadvat tanna mizrayantaH saralabhAvEnEzvarasya sAkSAd IzvarasyAdEzAt khrISTEna kathAM bhASAmahE|
