2 Korintoarrei 9

1 Eta sainduey eguiten çayen aiutáz den becembatean, çuey scribatzea soberancia çayt.

With reference, indeed, to the fund for your fellow Christians, it is quite superfluous for me to say anything to you.

2 Ecen badaquit çuen gogo presta, ceinagatic çueçaz gloriatzen bainaiz Macedoniacoac baithan, ecen Achaia prest dela chazdanic: eta çuetaric heldu den zeloac anhitz persona incitatu vkan du.

I know, of course, your willingness to help, and I am always boasting of it to the Macedonians. I tell them that you in Greece have been ready for a year past; and it was really your zeal that stimulated most of them.

3 Igorri vkan ditut bada anaye hauc, gure çueçazco gloriatzea alde hunez vano eztén: erran dudan beçala, prest çaretençát:

So my reason for sending our friends is to prevent what we said about you from proving, in this particular matter, an empty boast, and to enable you to be as well prepared as I have been saying that you are.

4 Baldin Macedoniacoac enequin ethor baditez, eta prestatu gabeac eriden baçaitzatez, ahalque iragan ezteçagun (ezterradançát çuéc) çueçaz gloriatu gareneco segurança hunetan.

Otherwise, if any Macedonians were to come with me, and find you unprepared, we – to say nothing of you – should feel ashamed of our present confidence.

5 Bada necessario estimatu vkan dut othoitz eguitera anayey, lehenic çuetara datocen, eta lehen acaba deçaten çuen liberalitate aitzinetic declaratua: hura prest dençát liberalitate anço, eta ez cekentassun anço.

Therefore I think it necessary to beg the friends to go to you in advance, and to complete the arrangements for the gift, which you have already promised, so that it may be ready, as a gift, before I come, and not look as if it were being given under pressure.

6 Eta haur erraiten dut, Cekenqui ereiten duenac cekenqui bilduren-ere du: eta liberalqui ereiten duenac, liberalqui bilduren-ere du.

Remember the saying – ‘Scanty sowing, scanty harvest; plentiful sowing, plentiful harvest.’

7 Batbederac bere bihotzean proposatzen duen beçala, begui: ez tristitiarequin edo bortchaz: ecen alegueraqui emaiten duenari on daritza Iaincoac.

Let everyone give as he has determined before hand, not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 Eta botheretsu da Iaincoa gratia guciaren çuetan abunda eraciteco: gauça gucietan bethiere sufficientia gucia duçuelaric, obra on orotara abundos çaretençát:

God has power to shower all kinds of blessings on you, so that, having, under all circumstances and on all occasions, all that you can need, you may be able to shower all kinds of benefits on others.

9 Scribatua den beçala, Distribuitu eta eman vkan draue paubrey: haren iustitiá dago seculacotz. (aiōn g165)

(As scripture says – ‘He shared freely, he gave to the poor; his righteousness continues for ever.’ (aiōn g165)

10 Bada hacia ereilleari fornitzen draucanac, ogui-ere iateco diçuela, eta multiplica deçala çuen hacia, eta çuen iustitiaren fructuac augmenta ditzala:

And he who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for eating, will supply you with seed, and cause it to increase, and will multiply the fruits of your righteousness).

11 Gauça gucietan abrasturic abundos çaretençát simplicitate orotara, ceinec eguiten baitu guçaz esquerrac eman daquizquión Iaincoari.

Rich in all things yourselves, you will be able to show liberality to all, which, with our help, will cause thanksgiving to be offered to God.

12 Ecen oblatione hunen administrationeac eztu sainduén necessitatea supplitzen solament, baina abundatzen-ere badu anhitzec Iaincoari esquerrac drauzquioten becembatean:

For the rendering of a public service such as this, not only relieves the needs of your fellow Christians, but also results in the offering to God of many a thanksgiving.

13 (Aiuta hunen phorogança hunez Iaincoa glorificatzen dutela çuen gogo batetaco suiectionearen gainean Christen Euangeliora, eta çuen hetaraco eta gucietaraco communicatione promptoaren gainean)

Through the evidence afforded by the service rendered, you cause people to praise God for your fidelity to your profession of faith in the good news of the Christ, as well as for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all others.

14 Eta çuengatic othoitz eguiten duten becembatean çuen desira dutelaric, Iaincoaren gratia çuetan abundatzen denagatic.

And they also, in their prayers for you, express their longing to see you, because of the surpassing love of God displayed toward you.

15 Esquer bada Iaincoari haren dohain erran ecin daitenaz.

All thanks to God for his inestimable gift!
