2 Korintoarrei 7

1 Beraz, ene maiteác, promessac ditugunaz gueroz, haraguiaren eta spirituaren satsutassun orotaric chahu ditzagun gure buruäc: acabatzen dugularic sanctificationea, Iaincoaren beldurrequin.

With these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that pollutes either body or spirit, and, in deepest respect for God, aim at perfect holiness.

2 Recebi gaitzaçue gu: nehor eztugu iniuriatu, nehor eztugu corrumpitu, nehor eztugu pillatu.

Make room for us in your hearts. In no instance have we ever wronged, or harmed, or taken advantage of, anyone.

3 Eznaiz çuen condemnationetan minço: ecen lehen erran dut gure bihotzetan çaretela, elkarrequin hiltzeco eta elkarrequin vicitzeco.

I am not saying this to condemn you. Indeed, I have already said that you are in our heart, to live and die together.

4 Minçatzeco libertate handia dut çuec baithan: çueçaz gloriatzeco materia handia dut: consolationez complitu naiz, bozcarioz hambat eta guehiago bethe naiz, gure tribulatione gucian.

I have the utmost confidence in you; I am always boasting about you. I am full of encouragement and, in spite of all our troubles, my heart is overflowing with happiness.

5 Ecen Macedoniara ethorri eta, eztu vkan gure haraguiac paussuric batre, baina gucietan affligitu içan gara: campotic bataillác, barnetic icidurác.

Ever since we reached Macedonia, we have had no rest in body or mind; on every side there have been troubles – conflicts without, anxieties within.

6 Baina abatituac consolatzen dituen Iaincoac consolatu vkan gaitu Titeren ethorteaz.

But God, who encourages the downcast, has encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.

7 Eta ez solament haren ethorteaz, baina hura çueçaz consolatu içan den consolationeaz-ere, contatzen ceraucunean çuen desir handia, çuen nigarra, çuen eneganaco affectione handia, hala non alegueratuago içan bainaiz.

And it is not only by his arrival that we are encouraged, but also by the encouragement which he received from you; for he tells us of your strong affection, your penitence, and your zeal on my behalf – so that I am happier still.

8 Ecen baldin tristetu baçaituztet-ere epistolaz, eztut vrriqui, vrriquitu içan baçaitadan-ere, ecen badacussat epistola harc, demboratacotz badere, tristetu vkan çaituztela.

For, though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I were inclined to regret it – for I see that my letter did cause you sorrow though only for a time –

9 Orain aleguera naiz, ez ceren tristetu içan çareten, baina ceren tristetu içan çareten penitentiatara: ecen tristetu içan çarete Iaincoaren araura, hala non deusetan ezpaitzaiçue calteric eguin içan gure aldetic.

I am glad now; not because of the sorrow it caused you, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance. For it was God’s will that you should feel sorrow, in order that you should not suffer loss in any way at our hands.

10 Ecen Iaincoaren arauezco tristitiác, penitentia obratzen du, vrriquimendu gaberico saluamendutara: baina munduco tristitiác herioa obratzen du.

For, when sorrow is in accordance with God’s will, it results in a repentance leading to salvation, and which will never be regretted. The sure result of the sorrow that the world knows is death.

11 Ecen horrá, Iaincoaren arauez tristetu içate horrec berac, cein artha handia çuetan obratu vkan du: aitzitic cer satisfactionea, aitzitic indignationea, aitzitic beldurra, aitzitic desir handia, aitzitic affectione handia, aitzitic mendequioa? gauça gucietan eracutsi içan çarete nola chahu çareten eguiteco hunetan.

For see what results that other sorrow – sorrow in accordance with God’s will – has had in your case. What earnestness it produced! What explanations! What strong feeling! What alarm! What longing! What eagerness! What readiness to punish! You have proved yourselves altogether free from guilt in that matter.

12 Bada baldin scribatu badrauçuet-ere, eztrauçuet scribatu iniuria eguin vkan duenaren causaz, ezeta iniuriatu içan denaren causaz, baina çuec baithan manifesta ledinçát guc çueçaz dugun arthá Iaincoaren aitzinean.

So, then, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrongdoer, or of the man who was wronged, but to make you conscious, in the sight of God, of your own earnest care for us. And it is this that has encouraged us.

13 Causa hunegatic consolatu içan gara çuen consolatu içanaz: baina haguitzez alegueratuago içan gara Titeren alegrançáz, ceren recreatu içan baita haren spiritua çueçaz gucióz.

In addition to the encouragement that this gave us, we were made far happier still by the happiness of Titus for his heart has been cheered by you all.

14 Eta baldin cerbaitetan çueçaz hura baithan gloriatu içan banaiz, eztut ahalqueric recebitu: baina nola gauça guciac eguiaz erran baitrauzquiçuegu, hala gure gloriatzea-ere, ceinez vsatu vkan baitut Tite baithara, eguiá eriden içan da.

Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, you did not put me to shame; but, just as every thing we had said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has also proved to be the truth.

15 Eta haren affectionea handiago da çuetara, orhoitzen denean çuen gucion obedientiáz, eta nola hura recebitu vkan duçuen beldurrequin eta ikararequin

And his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers the deference that you all showed him, and recalls how you received him with anxious care.

16 Aleguera naiz bada ceren guça gucietan çueçaz assegura ahal bainaite.

I am glad that I can feel perfect confidence in you.
