¹So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants, and stewards of God’s mysteries.

¹Estima beça guçaz guiçonac Christen ministréz, eta Iaincoaren secretuén dispensaçaléz beçala.

²Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.

²Baina gaineracoaz, necessario da dispensaçaletan leyal batbedera eriden dadin.

³But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man’s judgment. Yes, I don’t judge my own self.

³Niçaz den becembatean, ansia guti dut çueçaz edo iugemendu humanoz iudicatu içatearen: are neure buruä-ere eztut iudicatzen.

⁴For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

⁴Ecen deusetan eztut neure buruä hoguendun senditzen: ordea huneçaz eznaiz iustificatu: baina ni iudicatzen nauena, Iauna da.

⁵Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

⁵Halacotz, ezteçaçuela dembora baino lehen iudica, Iauna dathorreno, ceinec ilhumbeco gauça estaliac-ere arguituren baititu, eta bihotzetaco conseilluac manifestaturen: eta orduan laudorio vkanen du batbederac Iaincoaganic.

⁶Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

⁶Bada anayác, gauça hauc minçatzeco manera batez itzuli vkan ditut neure eta Apolloren gainera, çuen causaz: gutan ikas deçaçuençát, scribatua den baino guehiago ez presumitzera: bata bercearen contra hant etzaiteztençát berceren contra.

⁷For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

⁷Ecen norc hi reputationetan eçarten au? eta cer duc recebitu vkan eztuanic? eta baldin recebitu vkan baduc, cergatic gloriatzen aiz recebitu ezpahu beçala?

⁸You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

⁸Ia asse çarete, ia abrastu çarete, gu gabe reguetu çarete: eta aitzineçate regna, guc-ere çuequin batean regna deçagunçát.

⁹For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

⁹Ecen badaritzat Iaincoac gu monstrança eçarri gaituela, baicara, azquen Apostoluac, heriotara condemnatuac beçala: ecen beguietaco miragarri eguin içan gaitzaizte munduari eta Aingueruey eta guiçoney.

¹⁰We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

¹⁰Gu erho Christgatic, eta çuec çuhur Christ Iaunean, gu flaccu, eta çuec sendo: çuec noble, eta gu bilaun. Ordu hunetarano eta gosse gara eta egarri gara, eta billuci gara, eta buffetatzen gara, eta leku batetic bercera errebelatuac gabiltza:

¹¹Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

¹¹Eta trabaillatzen gara, gure escu propriéz lan eguinez.

¹²We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

¹²Iniuriatzen gara, eta vngui erraiten dugu: persecutatzen gara, eta suffritzen dugu:

¹³Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

¹³Diffamatzen gara, eta othoitz eguiten dugu, munduco scobaquin beçala eguin içan gara, eta gucién karracaquin beçala oraindrano.

¹⁴I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

¹⁴Eztrauzquiçuet gauça hauc scribatzen ahalque çaitzatedançát, baina neure haour maite anço auisatzen çaituztet.

¹⁵For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.

¹⁵Ecen hamar milla pedagogo bacintuzte-ere Christean, ez ordea anhitz aita: ecen Iesus Christean, Euangelioaz nic engendratu vkan çaituztet.

¹⁶I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.

¹⁶Othoitz eguiten drauçuet bada, ene imitaçale çareten.

¹⁷Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

¹⁷Halacotz igorri drauçuet Timotheo, cein baita ene seme maitea eta fidela gure Iaunean, harc orhoit eraciren drauzquiçue ceric diraden ene bideac Christean, leku gucietan Eliça orotan iracasten dudan beçala.

¹⁸Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

¹⁸Ni çuetara ethorteco ezpaninz beçala, batzu hantuac içan dirade.

¹⁹But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

¹⁹Baina ethorriren naiz sarri çuetara, baldin Iaunac nahi badu: eta eçaguturen dut, ez hantu içan diraden horién hitza, baina verthutea.

²⁰For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

²⁰Ecen Iaincoaren resumá ezta hitzean, baina verthute spiritualean.

²¹What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

²¹Cer nahi duçue? cihorrequin ethorriren naiz çuetara, ala charitaterequin eta emetassunezco spiriturequin?
