2 karinthinaḥ 2
1 aparañcāhaṁ punaḥ śokāya yuṣmatsannidhiṁ na gamiṣyāmīti manasi niracaiṣaṁ|
For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.
2 yasmād ahaṁ yadi yuṣmān śokayuktān karomi tarhi mayā yaḥ śokayuktīkṛtastaṁ vinā kenāpareṇāhaṁ harṣayiṣye?
For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?
3 mama yo harṣaḥ sa yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ harṣa eveti niścitaṁ mayābodhi; ataeva yairahaṁ harṣayitavyastai rmadupasthitisamaye yanmama śoko na jāyeta tadarthameva yuṣmabhyam etādṛśaṁ patraṁ mayā likhitaṁ|
And I wrote this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not 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.
4 vastutastu bahukleśasya manaḥpīḍāyāśca samaye'haṁ bahvaśrupātena patramekaṁ likhitavān yuṣmākaṁ śokārthaṁ tannahi kintu yuṣmāsu madīyapremabāhulyasya jñāpanārthaṁ|
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.
5 yenāhaṁ śokayuktīkṛtastena kevalamahaṁ śokayuktīkṛtastannahi kintvaṁśato yūyaṁ sarvve'pi yato'hamatra kasmiṁścid doṣamāropayituṁ necchāmi|
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.
6 bahūnāṁ yat tarjjanaṁ tena janenālambhi tat tadarthaṁ pracuraṁ|
Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
7 ataḥ sa duḥkhasāgare yanna nimajjati tadarthaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sa kṣantavyaḥ sāntvayitavyaśca|
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.
8 iti hetoḥ prarthaye'haṁ yuṣmābhistasmin dayā kriyatāṁ|
Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.
9 yūyaṁ sarvvakarmmaṇi mamādeśaṁ gṛhlītha na veti parīkṣitum ahaṁ yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
10 yasya yo doṣo yuṣmābhiḥ kṣamyate tasya sa doṣo mayāpi kṣamyate yaśca doṣo mayā kṣamyate sa yuṣmākaṁ kṛte khrīṣṭasya sākṣāt kṣamyate|
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 Messiah,
11 śayatānaḥ kalpanāsmābhirajñātā nahi, ato vayaṁ yat tena na vañcyāmahe tadartham asmābhiḥ sāvadhānai rbhavitavyaṁ|
that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
12 aparañca khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaghoṣaṇārthaṁ mayi troyānagaramāgate prabhoḥ karmmaṇe ca madarthaṁ dvāre mukte
Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Messiah, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
13 satyapi svabhrātustītasyāvidyamānatvāt madīyātmanaḥ kāpi śānti rna babhūva, tasmād ahaṁ tān visarjjanaṁ yācitvā mākidaniyādeśaṁ gantuṁ prasthānam akaravaṁ|
I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
14 ya īśvaraḥ sarvvadā khrīṣṭenāsmān jayinaḥ karoti sarvvatra cāsmābhistadīyajñānasya gandhaṁ prakāśayati sa dhanyaḥ|
Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
15 yasmād ye trāṇaṁ lapsyante ye ca vināśaṁ gamiṣyanti tān prati vayam īśvareṇa khrīṣṭasya saugandhyaṁ bhavāmaḥ|
For we are a sweet aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
16 vayam ekeṣāṁ mṛtyave mṛtyugandhā apareṣāñca jīvanāya jīvanagandhā bhavāmaḥ, kintvetādṛśakarmmasādhane kaḥ samartho'sti?
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?
17 anye bahavo lokā yadvad īśvarasya vākyaṁ mṛṣāśikṣayā miśrayanti vayaṁ tadvat tanna miśrayantaḥ saralabhāveneśvarasya sākṣād īśvarasyādeśāt khrīṣṭena kathāṁ bhāṣāmahe|
For we are not, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah.
