2 Korintoarrei 10
1 Gainerocoaz, othoitz eguiten drauçuet Christen emetassunaz eta clementiáz, nic neurorrec Paulec, presentián çuen artean chipi, baina absentián çuetara hardit naicenac.
Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.
2 Othoitz eguiten drauçuet bada present niçatequeenean eznaicén hardit hardieça batez, ceinez deliberatzen baitut hardit içatera haraguiaren araura ebilten baguinade beçala estimatzen gaituzten batzutara.
Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
3 Ecen haraguian ebilten garelaric, ez gara haraguiaren araura bataillatzen:
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;
4 (Ecen gure guerlaco harmadurác eztirade carnal, baina botheretsu Iaincoaz, fortalecén deseguiteco.)
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
5 Deseguiten ditugularic conseilluac, eta Iaincoaren eçagutzearen contra altchatzen den goratassun gucia: eta eramaiten dugularic captiuo beçala adimendu gucia Christen obedientiara:
throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
6 Eta prest dugu nondic mendeca gaitecen desobedientia oroz, çuen obedientiá complitu datequeenean.
and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
7 Beguién aitzinean dituçuen gaucetara beha çaudete? baldin edoceinec bere baithan confidança badu Christena dela, aldiz pensa beça bere baithan, ecen hura Christena den beçala, halaber gu-ere Christenac garela.
Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
8 Ecen baldin are guehiago cerbait gloriatu nahi banaiz gure puissançáz, cein Iaunac eman baitraucu çuen edificationetan, eta ez çuen destructionetan, eznaiz ahalqueturen:
For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
9 Irudi eztudançát epistolaz icitu nahi çaituztedala.
that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
10 Ecen epistolác (dioite) graue dirade eta borthitz, baina gorputzaren presentiá flaccu, eta hitza gaichto.
For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
11 Haur estima beça hainac, ecen nolaco baicara hitzez epistoletan absentián, halaco içanen garela presentian-ere eguinez.
Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
12 Ecen ezgara venturatzen gure buruén bardin eçartera edo comparatzera bere buruäc laudatzen dituzten batzuequin: baina eztute aditzen hec bere buruäc bere buruèquin neurtzen dituztela, eta bere buruäc bere buruèquin comparatzen dituztela.
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
13 Baina gu ezgara gloriaturen gure neurrico eztiraden gaucéz: aitzitic Iaincoac partitu draucun neurri reglatuaren arauez, gloriaturen gara çuetarano-ere heldu içan garela.
But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
14 Ecen çuetarano heldu içan ezpaguina beçala, ezgara hedatzen behar den baino guehiago: ecen çuetarano-ere heldu içan gara Christen Euangelioan:
For we do not stretch ourselves too much, as though we did not reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
15 Ez gure neurrico etzén gauçaz gloriatzen guinadelaric, erran nahi dut, berceren trabailluetan: baina sperança dugularic ecen çuen fedea handi dadinean, gu-ere frangoqui handituren garela assignatu içan çaicun neurrian.
not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
16 Hala non çuec baino aitzinago diraden lekuetan euangeliza deçadan eta ezgaitecen gloria berceri assignatu içan çayón neurrian, erran nahi dut, gauça ia preparatuetan.
so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
17 Baina gloriatzen dena Iaunean gloria bedi.
But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
18 Ecen berac bere buruä preçatzen duena ezta approbatua, baina Iaunac preçatzen duena.
For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
