¹Eta sainduey eguiten çayen aiutáz den becembatean, çuey scribatzea soberancia çayt.

¹For concerning the ministration which [is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you.

²Ecen badaquit çuen gogo presta, ceinagatic çueçaz gloriatzen bainaiz Macedoniacoac baithan, ecen Achaia prest dela chazdanic: eta çuetaric heldu den zeloac anhitz persona incitatu vkan du.

²For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal [reported] of you has stimulated the mass [of the brethren].

³Igorri vkan ditut bada anaye hauc, gure çueçazco gloriatzea alde hunez vano eztén: erran dudan beçala, prest çaretençát:

³But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared;

⁴Baldin Macedoniacoac enequin ethor baditez, eta prestatu gabeac eriden baçaitzatez, ahalque iragan ezteçagun (ezterradançát çuéc) çueçaz gloriatu gareneco segurança hunetan.

⁴lest haply, if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, *we*, that we say not *ye*, may be put to shame in this confidence.

⁵Bada necessario estimatu vkan dut othoitz eguitera anayey, lehenic çuetara datocen, eta lehen acaba deçaten çuen liberalitate aitzinetic declaratua: hura prest dençát liberalitate anço, eta ez cekentassun anço.

⁵I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.

⁶Eta haur erraiten dut, Cekenqui ereiten duenac cekenqui bilduren-ere du: eta liberalqui ereiten duenac, liberalqui bilduren-ere du.

⁶But this [is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:

⁷Batbederac bere bihotzean proposatzen duen beçala, begui: ez tristitiarequin edo bortchaz: ecen alegueraqui emaiten duenari on daritza Iaincoac.

⁷each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

⁸Eta botheretsu da Iaincoa gratia guciaren çuetan abunda eraciteco: gauça gucietan bethiere sufficientia gucia duçuelaric, obra on orotara abundos çaretençát:

⁸But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work:

⁹Scribatua den beçala, Distribuitu eta eman vkan draue paubrey: haren iustitiá dago seculacotz.

⁹according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever.

¹⁰Bada hacia ereilleari fornitzen draucanac, ogui-ere iateco diçuela, eta multiplica deçala çuen hacia, eta çuen iustitiaren fructuac augmenta ditzala:

¹⁰Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

¹¹Gauça gucietan abrasturic abundos çaretençát simplicitate orotara, ceinec eguiten baitu guçaz esquerrac eman daquizquión Iaincoari.

¹¹enriched in every way unto all free-hearted liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.

¹²Ecen oblatione hunen administrationeac eztu sainduén necessitatea supplitzen solament, baina abundatzen-ere badu anhitzec Iaincoari esquerrac drauzquioten becembatean:

¹²Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God;

¹³(Aiuta hunen phorogança hunez Iaincoa glorificatzen dutela çuen gogo batetaco suiectionearen gainean Christen Euangeliora, eta çuen hetaraco eta gucietaraco communicatione promptoaren gainean)

¹³they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all;

¹⁴Eta çuengatic othoitz eguiten duten becembatean çuen desira dutelaric, Iaincoaren gratia çuetan abundatzen denagatic.

¹⁴and in their supplication for you, full of ardent desire for you, on account of the exceeding grace of God [which is] upon you.

¹⁵Esquer bada Iaincoari haren dohain erran ecin daitenaz.

¹⁵Thanks [be] to God for his unspeakable free gift.
