¹Segur ezta mengoa gloria nadin: ecen ethorriren naiz visionetara eta Iaunaren reuelationetara.

¹To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

²Badaçagut guiçon-bat Christ Iaunean hamalaur vrthe baino lehen (ala gorputzetan, eztaquit: ala gorputzetic lekora, eztaquit: Iaincoac daqui) hirurgarren cerurano harrapatu içan denic.

²I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago — whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known — such an one being caught away unto the third heaven;

³Eta badaquit, halaco guiçona (ala gorputzetan, ala gorputzetic lekora, eztaquit: Iaincoac daqui)

³and I have known such a man — whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, —

⁴Ecen harrapatu içan dela Paradisura, eta ençun vkan dituela erran ecin daitezqueen hitzac, erraiteco guiçonaren impossibleac.

⁴that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.

⁵Halacoaz gloriaturen naiz: baina neure buruäz eznaiz gloriaturen, neure infirmitatetan baicen.

⁵Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities,

⁶Ecen baldin gloriatu nahi banaiz, eznaiz erhoa içanen, ecen eguia erranen dut: baina iragaiten naiz, nehorc niçaz estima ezteçan nitan ikusten, edo eneganic ençuten duen baino guehiago.

⁶for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear anything of me;

⁷Eta reuelationearen excellentiagatic altchegui eznendinçát, eman içan çait escardabat haraguian, eta Satanen aingueruä ene buffetatzeco, altchegui eznendinçát.

⁷and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.

⁸Gauça hunen gainean hiruretan Iaunari othoitz eguin draucat hura eneganic parti ledinçát.

⁸Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,

⁹Eta erran vkan draut, Asco duc ene gratiáz ecen ene puissançá infirmitatean acabatzen duc. Beraz guciz gogotic lehen gloriaturen naiz neure infirmitatetan, Christen puissançá nitan habita dadinçát.

⁹and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;` most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

¹⁰Halacotz dut atseguin hartzen infirmitatetan, iniurietan, necessitatetan, persecutionetan, Christengatico hersturetan: ecen noiz bainaiz impotent, orduan naiz botheretsu.

¹⁰wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses — for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

¹¹Erho içan naiz neure gloriatzean: çuec bortchatu nauçue: ecen ni behar nincén çueçaz laudatu, ikussiric ecen eznaicela deusetan Apostolu excellentac baino mendreago içan, deus ezpanaiz-ere.

¹¹I have become a fool — boasting; ye — ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles — even if I am nothing.

¹²Segur ene Apostolutassunaren seignaleac complitu içan dirade çuetan patientia gucirequin eta signorequin eta miraculurequin eta verthuterequin.

¹²The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds,

¹³Ecen certan berce Eliçác baino mendreago içan çarete? ni neuror çuen caltetan nagui içan eznaicena baicen? bidegabe haur barka ieçadaçue.

¹³for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice!

¹⁴Huná, herenci prest naiz çuetara ethortera: eta eznaiz çuen caltetan nagui içanen: ecen eznabila çuen diraden gaucén ondoan, baina ceurón ondoan: ecen haourréc eztute aitendaco thesaurizatu behar, baina aitéc haourrendaco.

¹⁴Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children,

¹⁵Eta niçaz den becembatean guciz gogotic despendaturen dut eta despendaturen naiz çuen arimacgatic: çuec hambat eta guehiago maite çaituztedalaric, gutiago onhetsia banaiz-ere.

¹⁵and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am loved.

¹⁶Baina biz, nic etzaituztedan cargatu vkan: ordea sotil içanez, fineciaz hartu vkan çaituztet.

¹⁶And be it [so], I — I did not burden you, but being crafty, with guile I did take you;

¹⁷Çuetara igorri vkan ditudanetaric batez-ere pillatu vkan çaituztet?

¹⁷any one of those whom I have sent unto you — by him did I take advantage of you?

¹⁸Othoitz eguin draucat Titeri, eta harequin igorri vkan dut anayebat: ala pillatu vkan çaituztez Titec? ezgara Spiritu batez ebili ican? ezgara hatz ber-batez ebili içan?

¹⁸I entreated Titus, and did send with [him] the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? — did we not in the same steps?

¹⁹Berriz vste duçue ecen gure buruäc excusatzen ditugula çuec baithara? Iaincoaren aitzinean, Christean minço gara: baina gauça hauc gucioc, gucizco maiteác, çuen edificationeagatic.

¹⁹Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, [are] for your up-building,

²⁰Ecen beldur dut guertha eztadin, ethor nadinean, nahi etzintuqueiztedan beçalaco eriden etzaitzatedan, eta ni eriden eznadin çueçaz nahi eztuçuen beçalaco: nolazpait eztiraden guduac, inuidiác, asserretassunac, liscarrac, gaizquierraiteac, chuchurlác, vrguluac, seditioneac:

²⁰for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may find you, and I — I may be found by you such as ye do not wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries, evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections,

²¹Eta berriz nathorrenean abacha ezneçan neure Iaincoac çuec baithan, eta nigar eztaguidan lehen bekatu eguin duten anhitzez, eta emendatu eztiradenéz cithalqueriataric, paillardiçataric eta eguin vkan duten insolentiatic.

²¹lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise.
