2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
ataeva he priyatamāḥ, etādṛśīḥ pratijñāḥ prāptairasmābhiḥ śarīrātmanoḥ sarvvamālinyam apamṛjyeśvarasya bhaktyā pavitrācāraḥ sādhyatāṁ|
2 Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
yūyam asmān gṛhlīta| asmābhiḥ kasyāpyanyāyo na kṛtaḥ ko'pi na vañcitaḥ|
3 I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
yuṣmān doṣiṇaḥ karttamahaṁ vākyametad vadāmīti nahi yuṣmābhiḥ saha jīvanāya maraṇāya vā vayaṁ yuṣmān svāntaḥkaraṇai rdhārayāma iti pūrvvaṁ mayoktaṁ|
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
yuṣmān prati mama mahetsāho jāyate yuṣmān adhyahaṁ bahu ślāghe ca tena sarvvakleśasamaye'haṁ sāntvanayā pūrṇo harṣeṇa praphullitaśca bhavāmi|
5 For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
asmāsu mākidaniyādeśam āgateṣvasmākaṁ śarīrasya kācidapi śānti rnābhavat kintu sarvvato bahi rvirodhenāntaśca bhītyā vayam apīḍyāmahi|
6 Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
kintu namrāṇāṁ sāntvayitā ya īśvaraḥ sa tītasyāgamanenāsmān asāntvayat|
7 and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
kevalaṁ tasyāgamanena tannahi kintu yuṣmatto jātayā tasya sāntvanayāpi, yato'smāsu yuṣmākaṁ hārddavilāpāsaktatveṣvasmākaṁ samīpe varṇiteṣu mama mahānando jātaḥ|
8 For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
ahaṁ patreṇa yuṣmān śokayuktān kṛtavān ityasmād anvatapye kintvadhunā nānutapye| tena patreṇa yūyaṁ kṣaṇamātraṁ śokayuktībhūtā iti mayā dṛśyate|
9 I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
ityasmin yuṣmākaṁ śokenāhaṁ hṛṣyāmi tannahi kintu manaḥparivarttanāya yuṣmākaṁ śoko'bhavad ityanena hṛṣyāmi yato'smatto yuṣmākaṁ kāpi hāni ryanna bhavet tadarthaṁ yuṣmākam īśvarīyaḥ śoko jātaḥ|
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
sa īśvarīyaḥ śokaḥ paritrāṇajanakaṁ niranutāpaṁ manaḥparivarttanaṁ sādhayati kintu sāṁsārikaḥ śoko mṛtyuṁ sādhayati|
11 For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
paśyata teneśvarīyeṇa śokena yuṣmākaṁ kiṁ na sādhitaṁ? yatno doṣaprakṣālanam asantuṣṭatvaṁ hārddam āsaktatvaṁ phaladānañcaitāni sarvvāṇi| tasmin karmmaṇi yūyaṁ nirmmalā iti pramāṇaṁ sarvveṇa prakāreṇa yuṣmābhi rdattaṁ|
12 So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
yenāparāddhaṁ tasya kṛte kiṁvā yasyāparāddhaṁ tasya kṛte mayā patram alekhi tannahi kintu yuṣmānadhyasmākaṁ yatno yad īśvarasya sākṣād yuṣmatsamīpe prakāśeta tadarthameva|
13 Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
uktakāraṇād vayaṁ sāntvanāṁ prāptāḥ; tāñca sāntvanāṁ vināvaro mahāhlādastītasyāhlādādasmābhi rlabdhaḥ, yatastasyātmā sarvvai ryuṣmābhistṛptaḥ|
14 For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
pūrvvaṁ tasya samīpe'haṁ yuṣmābhiryad aślāghe tena nālajje kintu vayaṁ yadvad yuṣmān prati satyabhāvena sakalam abhāṣāmahi tadvat tītasya samīpe'smākaṁ ślāghanamapi satyaṁ jātaṁ|
15 His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
yūyaṁ kīdṛk tasyājñā apālayata bhayakampābhyāṁ taṁ gṛhītavantaścaitasya smaraṇād yuṣmāsu tasya sneho bāhulyena varttate|
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
yuṣmāsvahaṁ sarvvamāśaṁse, ityasmin mamāhlādo jāyate|
