1 karinthinaḥ 16

1 pavitralokānāṁ kṛte yo'rthasaṁgrahastamadhi gālātīyadeśasya samājā mayā yad ādiṣṭāstad yuṣmābhirapi kriyatāṁ|

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

2 mamāgamanakāle yad arthasaṁgraho na bhavet tannimittaṁ yuṣmākamekaikena svasampadānusārāt sañcayaṁ kṛtvā saptāhasya prathamadivase svasamīpe kiñcit nikṣipyatāṁ|

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 mamāgamanasamaye yūyaṁ yāneva viśvāsyā iti vediṣyatha tebhyo'haṁ patrāṇi dattvā yuṣmākaṁ taddānasya yirūśālamaṁ nayanārthaṁ tān preṣayiṣyāmi|

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

4 kintu yadi tatra mamāpi gamanam ucitaṁ bhavet tarhi te mayā saha yāsyanti|

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

5 sāmprataṁ mākidaniyādeśamahaṁ paryyaṭāmi taṁ paryyaṭya yuṣmatsamīpam āgamiṣyāmi|

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

6 anantaraṁ kiṁ jānāmi yuṣmatsannidhim avasthāsye śītakālamapi yāpayiṣyāmi ca paścāt mama yat sthānaṁ gantavyaṁ tatraiva yuṣmābhirahaṁ prerayitavyaḥ|

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'haṁ yātrākāle kṣaṇamātraṁ yuṣmān draṣṭuṁ necchāmi kintu prabhu ryadyanujānīyāt tarhi kiñcid dīrghakālaṁ yuṣmatsamīpe pravastum icchāmi|

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 tathāpi nistārotsavāt paraṁ pañcāśattamadinaṁ yāvad iphiṣapuryyāṁ sthāsyāmi|

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

9 yasmād atra kāryyasādhanārthaṁ mamāntike bṛhad dvāraṁ muktaṁ bahavo vipakṣā api vidyante|

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

10 timathi ryadi yuṣmākaṁ samīpam āgacchet tarhi yena nirbhayaṁ yuṣmanmadhye vartteta tatra yuṣmābhi rmano nidhīyatāṁ yasmād ahaṁ yādṛk so'pi tādṛk prabhoḥ karmmaṇe 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 taṁ pratyanādaraṁ na karotu kintu sa mamāntikaṁ yad āgantuṁ śaknuyāt tadarthaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sakuśalaṁ preṣyatāṁ| bhrātṛbhiḥ sārddhamahaṁ taṁ pratīkṣe|

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

12 āpalluṁ bhrātaramadhyahaṁ nivedayāmi bhrātṛbhiḥ sākaṁ so'pi yad yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ vrajet tadarthaṁ mayā sa punaḥ punaryācitaḥ kintvidānīṁ gamanaṁ sarvvathā tasmai nārocata, itaḥparaṁ susamayaṁ prāpya sa gamiṣyati|

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 yūyaṁ jāgṛta viśvāse susthirā bhavata pauruṣaṁ prakāśayata balavanto bhavata|

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

14 yuṣmābhiḥ sarvvāṇi karmmāṇi premnā niṣpādyantāṁ|

Let all that you do be done in love.

15 he bhrātaraḥ, ahaṁ yuṣmān idam abhiyāce stiphānasya parijanā ākhāyādeśasya prathamajātaphalasvarūpāḥ, pavitralokānāṁ paricaryyāyai ca ta ātmano nyavedayan iti yuṣmābhi rjñāyate|

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 yūyamapi tādṛśalokānām asmatsahāyānāṁ śramakāriṇāñca sarvveṣāṁ vaśyā bhavata|

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

17 stiphānaḥ pharttūnāta ākhāyikaśca yad atrāgaman tenāham ānandāmi yato yuṣmābhiryat nyūnitaṁ tat taiḥ sampūritaṁ|

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

18 tai ryuṣmākaṁ mama ca manāṁsyāpyāyitāni| tasmāt tādṛśā lokā yuṣmābhiḥ sammantavyāḥ|

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

19 yuṣmabhyam āśiyādeśasthasamājānāṁ namaskṛtim ākkilapriskillayostanmaṇḍapasthasamiteśca bahunamaskṛtiṁ prajānīta|

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 bhrātaro yuṣmān namaskurvvante| yūyaṁ pavitracumbanena mitho namata|

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

21 paulo'haṁ svakaralikhitaṁ namaskṛtiṁ yuṣmān vedaye|

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

22 yadi kaścid yīśukhrīṣṭe na prīyate tarhi sa śāpagrasto bhavet prabhurāyāti|

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

23 asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānugraho yuṣmān prati bhūyāt|

The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

24 khrīṣṭaṁ yīśum āśritān yuṣmān prati mama prema tiṣṭhatu| iti||

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
