2 Corinthians 2
1 But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
apara nchAhaM punaH shokAya yuShmatsannidhiM na gamiShyAmIti manasi nirachaiShaM|
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 yuShmAn shokayuktAn karomi tarhi mayA yaH shokayuktIkR^itastaM vinA kenApareNAhaM harShayiShye?
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 harShaH sa yuShmAkaM sarvveShAM harSha eveti nishchitaM mayAbodhi; ataeva yairahaM harShayitavyastai rmadupasthitisamaye yanmama shoko na jAyeta tadarthameva yuShmabhyam etAdR^ishaM 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 bahukleshasya manaHpIDAyAshcha samaye. ahaM bahvashrupAtena patramekaM likhitavAn yuShmAkaM shokArthaM tannahi kintu yuShmAsu madIyapremabAhulyasya j nApanArthaM|
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 shokayuktIkR^itastena kevalamahaM shokayuktIkR^itastannahi kintvaMshato yUyaM sarvve. api yato. ahamatra kasmiMshchid doShamAropayituM nechChAmi|
6 This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one;
bahUnAM yat tarjjanaM tena janenAlambhi tat tadarthaM prachuraM|
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 yuShmAbhiH sa kShantavyaH sAntvayitavyashcha|
8 Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.
iti hetoH prarthaye. ahaM yuShmAbhistasmin 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 mamAdeshaM gR^ihlItha na veti parIkShitum ahaM yuShmAn 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 doSho yuShmAbhiH kShamyate tasya sa doSho mayApi kShamyate yashcha doSho mayA kShamyate sa yuShmAkaM kR^ite khrIShTasya sAkShAt kShamyate|
11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
shayatAnaH kalpanAsmAbhiraj nAtA nahi, ato vayaM yat tena na va nchyAmahe 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,
apara ncha khrIShTasya susaMvAdaghoShaNArthaM mayi troyAnagaramAgate prabhoH karmmaNe cha 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.

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 IshvaraH sarvvadA khrIShTenAsmAn jayinaH karoti sarvvatra chAsmAbhistadIyaj nAnasya gandhaM prakAshayati 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 cha vinAshaM gamiShyanti tAn prati vayam IshvareNa khrIShTasya 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 ekeShAM mR^ityave mR^ityugandhA apareShA ncha jIvanAya jIvanagandhA bhavAmaH, kintvetAdR^ishakarmmasAdhane kaH samartho. asti?
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.
