¹Halacotz guehiagoric ecin pairatuz, on irudi içan çaicu gueuroc Athenesen gueldi guentecen.

¹Wherefore, being no longer able to refrain ourselves, we thought good to be left alone in Athens,

²Eta igorri vkan dugu Timotheo gure anaye eta Iaincoaren ministrea eta Christen Euangelioan gure aiutaçalea, çuen confirmatzera eta exhortatzera çuen fedearen gainean:

²and sent Timotheus, our brother and fellow-workman under God in the glad tidings of Christ, to confirm you and encourage [you] concerning your faith,

³Nehor trubla eztadinçát afflictione hautan: ecen ceuroc badaquiçue hartaco ordenatuac garela.

³that no one might be moved by these afflictions. (For yourselves know that we are set for this;

⁴Ecen çuec baithan guinenean aitzinetic erraiten guendrauçuen ecen afflictione iragan behar vkanen guenduela, heldu-ere içan den beçala, eta badaquiçue.

⁴for also, when we were with you, we told you beforehand we are about to be in tribulation, even as also it came to pass, and ye know.)

⁵Halacotz nic-ere guehiagoric ecin pairatuz, hura igorri vkan dut çuen fedea eçagut neçançát, tentaçaleac nolazpeit tentatu centuquezten beldurrez, eta ezdeustu ezlicén gure trabaillua.

⁵For this reason *I* also, no longer able to refrain myself, sent to know your faith, lest perhaps the tempter had tempted you and our labour should be come to nothing.

⁶Eta heuraguiric eztuela ethorri cenean Timotheo çuetaric guregana, eta declaratu cerauzquigunean çuen fedea eta charitatea, eta nola duçuen guçaz memorio ona bethiere, desiratzen gaituçuelaric ikustera, guc-ere çuec beçala:

⁶But Timotheus having just come to us from you, and brought to us the glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have always good remembrance of us, desiring much to see us, even as we also you;

⁷Halacotz içan gara consolatu, anayeác, çuetan, gure afflictione eta tribulatione orotan, çuen fedeaz.

⁷for this reason we have been comforted in you, brethren, in all our distress and tribulation, through your faith,

⁸Ecen orain gara vici, baldin çuec fermu baçaudete Iaunean.

⁸because now we live if *ye* stand firm in [the] Lord.

⁹Ecen cer remerciamendu Iaincoari renda ahal deçaqueogu çueçaz, gure Iaincoaren aitzinean çuen causaz alegueratzen garen alegrança guciagatic?

⁹For what thanksgiving can we render to God for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on account of you before our God,

¹⁰Gau eta egun abundantquiago othoitz eguiten dugula ikus deçagunçát çuen beguithartea, eta compli deçagunçát çuen fedean peitu dena.

¹⁰night and day beseeching exceedingly to the end that we may see your face, and perfect what is lacking in your faith?

¹¹Bada, gure Iainco eta Aitac, eta Iesus Christ gure Iaunac chuchent deçala gure çuetaratco bidea.

¹¹But our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

¹²Eta çuec Iaunac multiplica eta abunda eraci çaitzatela elkarganaco eta gucietaraco charitatean, gu-ere çuetara beçala:

¹²But you, may the Lord make to exceed and abound in love toward one another, and toward all, even as we also towards you,

¹³Confirma ditzançát çuen bihotzac reprotchu gabe saindutassunean gure Iainco eta Aitaren aitzinean, Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren bere saindu guciequilaco aduenimenduco.

¹³in order to the confirming of your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
