¹But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

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

²For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?

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

³And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

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

⁴For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.

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

⁵But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.

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

⁶Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;

⁶Asco du harc anhitzez eguin içan çayon reprotchu hunez.

⁷so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

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

⁸Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.

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

⁹For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.

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

¹⁰Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

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.

¹¹that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

¹¹Ecen haren entrepresác badaquizquigu.

¹²Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,

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

¹³I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.

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

¹⁴Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

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

¹⁵For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;

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

¹⁶to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

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

¹⁷For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

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