1 karinthinaH 16

1 pavitralOkAnAM kRtE yO'rthasaMgrahastamadhi gAlAtIyadEzasya samAjA mayA yad AdiSTAstad yuSmAbhirapi kriyatAM|

Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also are to do as I directed the church of Galatia.

2 mamAgamanakAlE yad arthasaMgrahO na bhavEt tannimittaM yuSmAkamEkaikEna svasampadAnusArAt sanjcayaM kRtvA saptAhasya prathamadivasE svasamIpE kinjcit nikSipyatAM|

On the first day of each week let each of you put aside something, keeping it in store as he may prosper, so that when I come there may be no collections going on.

3 tatO mamAgamanasamayE yUyaM yAnEva vizvAsyA iti vEdiSyatha tEbhyO'haM patrANi dattvA yuSmAkaM taddAnasya yirUzAlamaM nayanArthaM tAn prESayiSyAmi|

On my arrival I will send those whom you may accredit by letter to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.

4 kintu yadi tatra mamApi gamanam ucitaM bhavEt tarhi tE mayA saha yAsyanti|

And if it is worth while for me to go too, they will accompany me.

5 sAmprataM mAkidaniyAdEzamahaM paryyaTAmi taM paryyaTya yuSmatsamIpam AgamiSyAmi|

Now I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia.

6 anantaraM kiM jAnAmi yuSmatsannidhim avasthAsyE zItakAlamapi yApayiSyAmi ca pazcAt mama yat sthAnaM gantavyaM tatraiva yuSmAbhirahaM prErayitavyaH|

I shall remain some time with you; possibly spending the winter, in order that you may help me forward in whatever journey I take.

7 yatO'haM yAtrAkAlE kSaNamAtraM yuSmAn draSTuM nEcchAmi kintu prabhu ryadyanujAnIyAt tarhi kinjcid dIrghakAlaM yuSmatsamIpE pravastum icchAmi|

For I do not wish at this present time to see you merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.

8 tathApi nistArOtsavAt paraM panjcAzattamadinaM yAvad iphiSapuryyAM sthAsyAmi|

I am staying for the present in Ephesus, until Pentecost;

9 yasmAd atra kAryyasAdhanArthaM mamAntikE bRhad dvAraM muktaM bahavO vipakSA api vidyantE|

for a door has opened to me, great and effectual, and the opponents are many.

10 timathi ryadi yuSmAkaM samIpam AgacchEt tarhi yEna nirbhayaM yuSmanmadhyE varttEta tatra yuSmAbhi rmanO nidhIyatAM yasmAd ahaM yAdRk sO'pi tAdRk prabhOH karmmaNE yatatE|

If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I am, so let no one disparage him.

11 kO'pi taM pratyanAdaraM na karOtu kintu sa mamAntikaM yad AgantuM zaknuyAt tadarthaM yuSmAbhiH sakuzalaM prESyatAM| bhrAtRbhiH sArddhamahaM taM pratIkSE|

Whenever he comes to me, send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.

12 ApalluM bhrAtaramadhyahaM nivEdayAmi bhrAtRbhiH sAkaM sO'pi yad yuSmAkaM samIpaM vrajEt tadarthaM mayA sa punaH punaryAcitaH kintvidAnIM gamanaM sarvvathA tasmai nArOcata, itaHparaM susamayaM prApya sa gamiSyati|

As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.

13 yUyaM jAgRta vizvAsE susthirA bhavata pauruSaM prakAzayata balavantO bhavata|

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.

14 yuSmAbhiH sarvvANi karmmANi prEmnA niSpAdyantAM|

Let all that you do be done in love.

15 hE bhrAtaraH, ahaM yuSmAn idam abhiyAcE stiphAnasya parijanA AkhAyAdEzasya prathamajAtaphalasvarUpAH, pavitralOkAnAM paricaryyAyai ca ta AtmanO nyavEdayan iti yuSmAbhi rjnjAyatE|

I beg you this, my brothers - you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints -

16 atO yUyamapi tAdRzalOkAnAm asmatsahAyAnAM zramakAriNAnjca sarvvESAM vazyA bhavata|

so I want you also to show deference to such, and to every fellow worker, and laborer.

17 stiphAnaH pharttUnAta AkhAyikazca yad atrAgaman tEnAham AnandAmi yatO yuSmAbhiryat nyUnitaM tat taiH sampUritaM|

I am glad that Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.

18 tai ryuSmAkaM mama ca manAMsyApyAyitAni| tasmAt tAdRzA lOkA yuSmAbhiH sammantavyAH|

They refresh my spirit as they do yours. So cultivate the acquaintance of such men.

19 yuSmabhyam AziyAdEzasthasamAjAnAM namaskRtim AkkilapriskillayOstanmaNPapasthasamitEzca bahunamaskRtiM prajAnIta|

The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla (Prisca), with the church that meets in their house, greet you heartily in the Lord.

20 sarvvE bhrAtarO yuSmAn namaskurvvantE| yUyaM pavitracumbanEna mithO namata|

All the brothers send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

21 paulO'haM svakaralikhitaM namaskRtiM yuSmAn vEdayE|

The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand.

22 yadi kazcid yIzukhrISTE na prIyatE tarhi sa zApagrastO bhavEt prabhurAyAti|

If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord is coming.

23 asmAkaM prabhO ryIzukhrISTasyAnugrahO yuSmAn prati bhUyAt|

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

24 khrISTaM yIzum AzritAn yuSmAn prati mama prEma tiSThatu| iti||

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
