2 Corinthians 2
1 For my own sake, as well, I decided not to pay you another painful visit.
apara ncaaha. m puna. h "sokaaya yu. smatsannidhi. m na gami. syaamiiti manasi niracai. sa. m|
2 If it is I who cause you pain, why, who is there to cheer me, except the person whom I am paining?
yasmaad aha. m yadi yu. smaan "sokayuktaan karomi tarhi mayaa ya. h "sokayuktiik. rtasta. m vinaa kenaapare. naaha. m har. sayi. sye?
3 So I wrote as I did because I was afraid that if I had come, I should have been pained by those who ought to have made me glad; for I felt sure that it was true of you all that my joy was in every case yours also.
mama yo har. sa. h sa yu. smaaka. m sarvve. saa. m har. sa eveti ni"scita. m mayaabodhi; ataeva yairaha. m har. sayitavyastai rmadupasthitisamaye yanmama "soko na jaayeta tadarthameva yu. smabhyam etaad. r"sa. m patra. m mayaa likhita. m|
4 I wrote to you in sore trouble and distress of heart and with many tears, not to give you pain, but to let you see how intense a love I have for you.
vastutastu bahukle"sasya mana. hpii. daayaa"sca samaye. aha. m bahva"srupaatena patrameka. m likhitavaan yu. smaaka. m "sokaartha. m tannahi kintu yu. smaasu madiiyapremabaahulyasya j naapanaartha. m|
5 Now whoever has caused the pain has not so much pained me, as he has, to some extent – not to be too severe – pained every one of you.
yenaaha. m "sokayuktiik. rtastena kevalamaha. m "sokayuktiik. rtastannahi kintva. m"sato yuuya. m sarvve. api yato. ahamatra kasmi. m"scid do. samaaropayitu. m necchaami|
6 The man to whom I refer has been sufficiently punished by the penalty inflicted by the majority of you;
bahuunaa. m yat tarjjana. m tena janenaalambhi tat tadartha. m pracura. m|
7 so that now you must take the opposite course, and forgive and encourage him, or else he may be overwhelmed by the intensity of his pain.
ata. h sa du. hkhasaagare yanna nimajjati tadartha. m yu. smaabhi. h sa k. santavya. h saantvayitavya"sca|
8 So I entreat you to assure him of your love.
iti heto. h prarthaye. aha. m yu. smaabhistasmin dayaa kriyataa. m|
9 I had this further object, also, in what I wrote – to find out whether you might be relied on to be obedient in everything.
yuuya. m sarvvakarmma. ni mamaade"sa. m g. rhliitha na veti pariik. situm aha. m yu. smaan prati likhitavaan|
10 Anyone you forgive, I forgive them, too. Indeed, for my part, whatever I have forgiven (if I have had to forgive anything), I have forgiven for your sakes, in the presence of Christ,
yasya yo do. so yu. smaabhi. h k. samyate tasya sa do. so mayaapi k. samyate ya"sca do. so mayaa k. samyate sa yu. smaaka. m k. rte khrii. s.tasya saak. saat k. samyate|
11 so as to prevent Satan from taking advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
"sayataana. h kalpanaasmaabhiraj naataa nahi, ato vaya. m yat tena na va ncyaamahe tadartham asmaabhi. h saavadhaanai rbhavitavya. m|
12 When I went to the district round Troas to tell the good news of the Christ, even though there was an opening for serving the Master,
apara nca khrii. s.tasya susa. mvaadagho. sa. naartha. m mayi troyaanagaramaagate prabho. h karmma. ne ca madartha. m dvaare mukte
13 I could get no peace of mind because I failed to find Titus, my friend; so I took leave of the people there, and went on to Macedonia.
satyapi svabhraatustiitasyaavidyamaanatvaat madiiyaatmana. h kaapi "saanti rna babhuuva, tasmaad aha. m taan visarjjana. m yaacitvaa maakidaniyaade"sa. m gantu. m prasthaanam akarava. m|
14 All thanks to God, who, through our union with the Christ, leads us in one continual triumph, and uses us to spread the sweet perfume of the knowledge of him in every place.
ya ii"svara. h sarvvadaa khrii. s.tenaasmaan jayina. h karoti sarvvatra caasmaabhistadiiyaj naanasya gandha. m prakaa"sayati sa dhanya. h|
15 For we are the fragrance of Christ ascending to God – both among those who are in the path of salvation and among those who are in the path to ruin.
yasmaad ye traa. na. m lapsyante ye ca vinaa"sa. m gami. syanti taan prati vayam ii"svare. na khrii. s.tasya saugandhya. m bhavaama. h|
16 To the latter we are a stench which arises from death and tells of death; to the former a fragrance which arises from life and tells of life. But who is equal to such a task?
vayam eke. saa. m m. rtyave m. rtyugandhaa apare. saa nca jiivanaaya jiivanagandhaa bhavaama. h, kintvetaad. r"sakarmmasaadhane ka. h samartho. asti?
17 Unlike many people, we are not in the habit of making profit out of God’s message; but in all sincerity, and bearing God’s commission, we speak before him in union with Christ.
anye bahavo lokaa yadvad ii"svarasya vaakya. m m. r.saa"sik. sayaa mi"srayanti vaya. m tadvat tanna mi"srayanta. h saralabhaavene"svarasya saak. saad ii"svarasyaade"saat khrii. s.tena kathaa. m bhaa. saamahe|
