¹For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

¹Ecen badaquigu baldin gure lurreco habitatione hunetaco tabernaclea deseguin badadi, edificiobat Iaincoaganic badugula, etche escuz eguin eztén eternalbat ceruètan.

²For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;

²Ecen suspirioz-ere halacotz gaude, gure habitatione cerutic denaz veztitu içatera desir dugula.

³if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked.

³Badaric-ere baldin veztituac ez billuciac eriden bagaitez.

⁴For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

⁴Ecen tabernacle hunetan garenoc, cargaturic suspirioz gaude: ceren desir baitugu ez billuci içatera, baina arreueztitu içatera, iretsi dadinçát mortal dena vicitzeaz.

⁵Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

⁵Eta hartara berera gu formatu gaituena Iaincoa da, Spirituaren errésac eman-ere drauzquiguna.

⁶Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

⁶Confidança dugularic bada bethiere eta daquigularic ecen arrotz garela gorputz hunetan, absent gara Iaunaganic.

⁷for we walk by faith, not by sight.

⁷(Ecen fedez gabiltza ez ikustez)

⁸We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

⁸Baina confidança dugu, eta nahiago gara gorputzetic ilki, eta Iaunarequin habitatzera ioan.

⁹Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

⁹Eta halacotz dugu desiratzen, bay present bagara, bay absent bagara, haren gogaraco içatera.

¹⁰For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

¹⁰Ecen guciéc comparitu behar dugu Christen tribunal aitzinean, batbederac gorputzean recebi deçançat eguin duqueenaren araura, edo vngui edo gaizqui.

¹¹Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.

¹¹Daquigularic bada Iaunazco iciapena cer den guiçonac ditugu federa erekarten, eta Iaincoagana manifestatuac gara: eta sporçu dut, çuen conscientietara-ere manifestatuac garela.

¹²For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

¹²Ecen eztrauzquiçuegu gure buruäc berriz laudatzen, baina occasione emaiten drauçuegu guçaz gloriatzeco: duçuençát cer ihardets apparentiaz eta ez bihotzez gloriatzen diradenén contra.

¹³For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.

¹³Ecen adimenduz erautzen bagara Iaincoari erautzen guiaizquio: edo adimendu onetaco bagara, çuén gara.

¹⁴For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

¹⁴Ecen Christen charitateac hertsen gaitu: hunez guerthu garelaric, ecen baldin bat guciacgatic hil içan bada, beraz guciac hil içan diradela.

¹⁵He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

¹⁵Eta hura guciacgatic hil içan da, vici diradenac guehiagoric bere buruèy vici eztiradençát, baina hecgatic hil eta resuscitatu içan denari.

¹⁶Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

¹⁶Halacotz, guc hemendic harát nehor eztugu eçagutzen haraguiaren arauez: eta baldin Christ haraguiaren arauez eçagutu badugu-ere, orain ordea eztugu guehiagoric eçagutzen.

¹⁷Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

¹⁷Beraz baldin cembeit, bada Christ Iaunean, biz crearura berri: gauça çaharrac iragan dirade, huná, gauça guciac berri eguin dirade.

¹⁸But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

¹⁸Eta hauc gucioc Iaincoaganic dirade, ceinec reconciliatu baiquaitu berequin Iesus Christez, eta eman baitraucu reconciliationezco ministerioa:

¹⁹namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

¹⁹Ecen Iaincoa Christean cen, mundua berequin reconciliatzen çuela, hæy imputatzen etzerauztela berén bekatuac: eta eçarri vkan du gutan reconciliationezco hitza.

²⁰We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

²⁰Harren, Christen icenean embachadore gara, Iaincoac guçaz othoitz eguiten balerauçue beçala: othoitz eguiten drauçuegu Christen icenean, reconcilia çaquizquioten Iaincoari.

²¹For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

²¹Ecen bekaturic eçagutu eztuena, guregatic bekatu eguin vkan du: hartan gu Iaincoaren iustitia eguin guentecençát.
