¹Baina haur neuror baithan deliberatu vkan dut, çuetara tristitiarequin berriz ez ethortera.

¹And I decided this to myself, not again to come in sorrow unto you,

²Ecen baldin nic contrista baçaitzatet, nor da ni aleguera nençaqueenic, niçaz contristatu liçatequeen bera baicen?

²for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?

³Eta haur bera scribatu vkan drauçuet, ethor nadinean tristitiaric eztudançát alegueratu behar nincenetaric: çueçaz gucioz fidaz ecen ene alegrançá, çuen guciona dela.

³and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,

⁴Ecen afflictione eta bihotz herstura handitan scribatu drauçuet, anhitz nigar chortarequin: ez contrista cindeiztençát, baina eçagut cineçatençát çuetara dudan charitate gucizco abundanta.

⁴for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.

⁵Eta baldin norbeit tristitiaren causa içan bada, eznau ni contristatu, baina aldez (hura cargago ezteçadan) çuec gucioc.

⁵And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;

⁶Asco du harc anhitzez eguin içan çayon reprotchu hunez.

⁶sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the more part,

⁷Hala non contrariora barka diecoçuen aitzitic, eta consola deçaçuen, tristitiaren handieguiz irets eztadinçát hura.

⁷so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

⁸Harren othoitz eguiten drauçuet, confirma deçaçuen hura baithara charitatea.

⁸wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,

⁹Ecen fin hunetacotz scribatu-ere drauçuet, eçagut neçançát çuen experientiá, eya gauça gucietara obedient çaretenez.

⁹for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.

¹⁰Eta cerbait barkatzen draucaçuenari, nic-ere barkatzen draucat: ecen nic-ere baldin cerbait barkatu badut, barkatu draucadanari çuengatic eguin draucat Christen beguitharte aitzinean, Satanez ardiets ezgaitecençát.

¹⁰And to whom ye forgive anything — I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you — in the person of Christ — [I forgive it,]

¹¹Ecen haren entrepresác badaquizquigu.

¹¹that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant.

¹²Goiticoz, ethorriric Troasera Christen Euangelioagatic, borthá irequi baçaitadán-ere Iaunaz:

¹²And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord,

¹³Eztut vkan paussuric neure spirituan, ceren ezpaineçan eriden Tite neure anayea: baina hetaric congit harturic, ioan nendin Macedoniarát.

¹³I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;

¹⁴Esquer bada Iaincoari bethi Christean triumpha eraciten draucunari: eta bere eçagutzearen vssaina eçagut eraciten draucunari leku gucietan.

¹⁴and to God [are] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,

¹⁵Ecen Christen vssain ona gara Iaincoagana, saluatzen diradenetan, eta galtzen diradenetan:

¹⁵because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those being saved, and in those being lost;

¹⁶Iaquiteco da, hautan, herio vssain heriotaracotz: eta hetan, vicitze vssain vicitzetaracotz: eta gauça hautacotzat nor da sufficientic?

¹⁶to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?

¹⁷Ecen eztugu, anhitzec beçala, traffiquic eguiten Iaincoaren hitzaz, aitzitic integritatez beçala, aitzitic Iaincoaganic beçala Iaincoaren aitzinean, Christez minço gara.

¹⁷for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity — but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak.
