2 Korintoarrei 12
1 Segur ezta mengoa gloria nadin: ecen ethorriren naiz visionetara eta Iaunaren reuelationetara.
I must boast! It is unprofitable; but I will pass to visions and revelations given by the Lord.
2 Badaçagut guiçon-bat Christ Iaunean hamalaur vrthe baino lehen (ala gorputzetan, eztaquit: ala gorputzetic lekora, eztaquit: Iaincoac daqui) hirurgarren cerurano harrapatu içan denic.
I know a man in union with Christ, who, fourteen years ago – whether in the body or out of the body I do not know; God knows – was caught up (this man of whom I am speaking) to the third heaven.
3 Eta badaquit, halaco guiçona (ala gorputzetan, ala gorputzetic lekora, eztaquit: Iaincoac daqui)
And I know that this man – whether in the body or separated from the body I do not know; God knows –
4 Ecen harrapatu içan dela Paradisura, eta ençun vkan dituela erran ecin daitezqueen hitzac, erraiteco guiçonaren impossibleac.
Was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable things of which no human being may tell.
5 Halacoaz gloriaturen naiz: baina neure buruäz eznaiz gloriaturen, neure infirmitatetan baicen.
About such a man I will boast, but about myself I will not boast except as regards my weaknesses.
6 Ecen baldin gloriatu nahi banaiz, eznaiz erhoa içanen, ecen eguia erranen dut: baina iragaiten naiz, nehorc niçaz estima ezteçan nitan ikusten, edo eneganic ençuten duen baino guehiago.
Yet if I choose to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will be speaking no more than the truth. But I refrain, in case anyone should credit me with more than he can see in me or hear from me, and because of the marvelous character of the revelations.
7 Eta reuelationearen excellentiagatic altchegui eznendinçát, eman içan çait escardabat haraguian, eta Satanen aingueruä ene buffetatzeco, altchegui eznendinçát.
It was for this reason, and to prevent my thinking too highly of myself, that a thorn was sent to pierce my flesh – an instrument of Satan to discipline me – so that I should not think too highly of myself.
8 Gauça hunen gainean hiruretan Iaunari othoitz eguin draucat hura eneganic parti ledinçát.
About this I three times entreated the Lord, praying that it might leave me.
9 Eta erran vkan draut, Asco duc ene gratiáz ecen ene puissançá infirmitatean acabatzen duc. Beraz guciz gogotic lehen gloriaturen naiz neure infirmitatetan, Christen puissançá nitan habita dadinçát.
But his reply has been – ‘My help is enough for you; for my strength attains its perfection in the midst of weakness.’ Most gladly, then, will I boast all the more of my weaknesses, so that the strength of the Christ may overshadow me.
10 Halacotz dut atseguin hartzen infirmitatetan, iniurietan, necessitatetan, persecutionetan, Christengatico hersturetan: ecen noiz bainaiz impotent, orduan naiz botheretsu.
That is why I delight in weakness, ill treatment, hardship, persecution, and difficulties, when borne for Christ. For, when I am weak, then it is that I am strong!
11 Erho içan naiz neure gloriatzean: çuec bortchatu nauçue: ecen ni behar nincén çueçaz laudatu, ikussiric ecen eznaicela deusetan Apostolu excellentac baino mendreago içan, deus ezpanaiz-ere.
I have been “playing the fool!” It is you who drove me to it. For it is you who ought to have been commending me! Although I am nobody, in no respect did I prove inferior to the most eminent apostles.
12 Segur ene Apostolutassunaren seignaleac complitu içan dirade çuetan patientia gucirequin eta signorequin eta miraculurequin eta verthuterequin.
The marks of the true apostle were exhibited among you in constant endurance, as well as by signs, by marvels, and by miracles.
13 Ecen certan berce Eliçác baino mendreago içan çarete? ni neuror çuen caltetan nagui içan eznaicena baicen? bidegabe haur barka ieçadaçue.
In what respect, I ask, were you treated worse than the other churches, unless it was that, for my part, I refused to become a burden to you? Forgive me the wrong I did to you!
14 Huná, herenci prest naiz çuetara ethortera: eta eznaiz çuen caltetan nagui içanen: ecen eznabila çuen diraden gaucén ondoan, baina ceurón ondoan: ecen haourréc eztute aitendaco thesaurizatu behar, baina aitéc haourrendaco.
Remember, this is the third time that I have made every preparation to come to see you, and I will refuse to be a burden to you; I want, not your money, but you. It is not the duty of children to put by for their parents, but of parents to put by for their children.
15 Eta niçaz den becembatean guciz gogotic despendaturen dut eta despendaturen naiz çuen arimacgatic: çuec hambat eta guehiago maite çaituztedalaric, gutiago onhetsia banaiz-ere.
For my part, I will most gladly spend, and be spent, for your welfare. Can it be that the more intensely I love you the less I am to be loved?
16 Baina biz, nic etzaituztedan cargatu vkan: ordea sotil içanez, fineciaz hartu vkan çaituztet.
You will admit that I was not a burden to you but you say that I was “crafty” and caught you “by a trick”!
17 Çuetara igorri vkan ditudanetaric batez-ere pillatu vkan çaituztet?
Do you assert that I took advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you?
18 Othoitz eguin draucat Titeri, eta harequin igorri vkan dut anayebat: ala pillatu vkan çaituztez Titec? ezgara Spiritu batez ebili ican? ezgara hatz ber-batez ebili içan?
I urged Titus to go, and I sent another follower with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we live in the same Spirit, and tread in the same footsteps?
19 Berriz vste duçue ecen gure buruäc excusatzen ditugula çuec baithara? Iaincoaren aitzinean, Christean minço gara: baina gauça hauc gucioc, gucizco maiteác, çuen edificationeagatic.
Have you all this time been fancying that it is to you that we are making our defense? No, it is in the sight of God, and in union with Christ, that we are speaking. And all this, dear friends, is to build up your characters;
20 Ecen beldur dut guertha eztadin, ethor nadinean, nahi etzintuqueiztedan beçalaco eriden etzaitzatedan, eta ni eriden eznadin çueçaz nahi eztuçuen beçalaco: nolazpait eztiraden guduac, inuidiác, asserretassunac, liscarrac, gaizquierraiteac, chuchurlác, vrguluac, seditioneac:
for I am afraid that perhaps, when I come, I may find that you are not what I want you to be, and, on the other hand, that you may find that I am what you do not want me to be. I am afraid that I may find quarreling, jealousy, ill feeling, rivalry, slandering, backbiting, self-assertion, and disorder.
21 Eta berriz nathorrenean abacha ezneçan neure Iaincoac çuec baithan, eta nigar eztaguidan lehen bekatu eguin duten anhitzez, eta emendatu eztiradenéz cithalqueriataric, paillardiçataric eta eguin vkan duten insolentiatic.
I am afraid that, on my next visit, my God may humble me in regard to you, and that I may have to mourn over many who have long been sinning, and have not repented of the impurity, immorality, and sensuality, in which they have indulged.
