¹Hatsen gara berriz gure buruén gommendatzen? ala behar dugu batzuc beçala, epistola gommendagarriric çuetara, edo çuetaric gommendagarriric?

¹Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or do we need, as some, commendatory letters to you, or [commendatory] from you?

²Gure epistolá çuec çarete, gure bihotzetan scribatua, cein eçagutzen eta iracurtzen baita guiçon guciéz.

²*Ye* are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read of all men,

³Agueri den becembatean ecen Christen epistola guçaz administratua çaretela, scribatua ez tintaz, baina Iainco viciaren Spirituaz: ez harrizco tauletan, baina bihotzeco taula haraguizcoetan.

³being manifested to be Christ's epistle ministered by us, written, not with ink, but [the] Spirit of [the] living God; not on stone tables, but on fleshy tables of [the] heart.

⁴Eta halaco confidança dugu Christez Iaincoa baithan.

⁴And such confidence have we through the Christ towards God:

⁵Ez sufficient garelacotz gure buruz cerbaiten pensatzeco, gueurorganic beçala: baina gure sufficientiá Iaincoaganic da.

⁵not that we are competent of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our competency [is] of God;

⁶Ceinec Testamentu berrico ministre sufficient-ere eguin baiquaitu, ez letraren, baina Spirituaren: ecen letrác hiltzen du, baina Spirituac viuificatzen du.

⁶who has also made us competent, [as] ministers of [the] new covenant; not of letter, but of spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit quickens.

⁷Eta baldin heriotaco ministerioa letraz harrietan moldatua içan bada glorioso, hambat non Israeleco haourréc ecin behá baitzeçaqueten Moysesen beguithartera, haren beguitharteco gloria fin vkan behar çuenagatic:

⁷(But if the ministry of death, in letters, graven in stones, began with glory, so that the children of Israel could not fix their eyes on the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his face, [a glory] which is annulled;

⁸Nolatan ezta Spirituaren ministerioa gloriosoago içanen?

⁸how shall not rather the ministry of the Spirit subsist in glory?

⁹Ecen baldin condemnationetaco ministerioa glorioso içan bada: iustitiataco ministerioac anhitzez iragaitenago du gloriaz.

⁹For if the ministry of condemnation [be] glory, much rather the ministry of righteousness abounds in glory.

¹⁰Ecen glorificatu içan dena-ere, ezta glorificatu içan respectu hunez, erran nahi da, excellentago den gloriaren causaz.

¹⁰For also that [which was] glorified is not glorified in this respect, on account of the surpassing glory.

¹¹Ecen baldin fin hartu behar çuena glorioso içan bada, vnguiz gloriosoago da dagoena.

¹¹For if that annulled [was introduced] with glory, much rather that which abides [subsists] in glory.

¹²Beraz hunelaco sperançá dugunaz gueroz, minçatzeco libertate handiz vsatzen dugu.

¹²Having therefore such hope, we use much boldness:

¹³Eta ez gara Moysez beçala ceinec estalquia emaiten baitzuen bere beguitharte gainean, Israeleco haourréc abolitu behar cenaren finera beha ezleçatençát.

¹³and not according as Moses put a veil on his own face, so that the children of Israel should not fix their eyes on the end of that annulled.

¹⁴Bada, hayén adimenduac gogortu içan dirade: ecen egungo egunerano estalqui bera dago Testamentu çaharreco lecturán kendu gabea (cein Christez kencen baita)

¹⁴But their thoughts have been darkened, for unto this day the same veil remains in reading the old covenant, unremoved, which in Christ is annulled.

¹⁵Baina egungo egun hunetarano Moyses iracurtzen denean, estalquia hayén bihotz gainean dago.

¹⁵But unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil lies upon their heart.

¹⁶Baina Iaunagana conuertitu datequeenean kenduren da estalquia.

¹⁶But when it shall turn to [the] Lord, the veil is taken away.)

¹⁷Eta Iauna Spiritu da: eta Iaunaren Spiritua non, libertatea han.

¹⁷Now the Lord is the Spirit, but where the Spirit of [the] Lord [is, there is] liberty.

¹⁸Bada gu gucioc beguithartea aguerturic Iaunaren glorián miratzen garela, imagina berera transformatzen gara gloriataric gloriatara, Iaunaren Spirituaz beçala.

¹⁸But *we* all, looking on the glory of the Lord, with unveiled face, are transformed according to the same image from glory to glory, even as by [the] Lord [the] Spirit.
