2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia;
Iaquin eraciten drauçuegu bada, anayeác, Macedoniaco Elicey eman içan çayen Iaincoaren gratiá:
2 how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
Nola afflictionezco phorogança handitan hayén alegranciázco abundantiá, eta hayén paubrecia beherá abundant içan den hayén prompt içatearen abrastassunetan:
3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
Ecen testificatzen dut, ahalaren arauez, eta ahalaz garaitic, gogatsu içan diradela:
4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
Othoitz handirequin othoitz eguiten ceraucutela, sainduey eguiten, çayen aiutaren gratiá eta communicationea, recebi gueneçan.
5 This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
Eta eztute sperança guenduen beçala eguin, baina bere buruäc eman drautzate lehenic Iaunari, eta guero guri, Iaincoaren vorondatez.
6 So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
Tite exhorta gueneçançát, nola lehenetic hassi vkan baitu, hala acaba-ere leçan çuec baithan gratia haur-ere.
7 But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love from us that is in you, see that you also abound in this grace.
Bada gauça gucietan abundos çareten beçala fedez, eta hitzez, eta eçagutzez, eta diligentia oroz, eta çuen gureganaco charitatez, eguiçue gratia hunetan-ere abundos çareten.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Eztut manamenduz erraiten, baina bercén diligentiáz çuen charitateco leyaltatearen-ere phorogatzeagatic.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
Ecen eçagutzen duçue Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren gratiá, nola çuengatic paubre eguin içan den abrats celaric: haren paubreciáz çuec abrats cindeiztençát.
10 I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
Eta gauça hunetan conseillu emaiten dut: ecen haur çuen probetchutaco da, chazdanic hassi içan cinetenón, éz solament eguiten, baina nahi vkaiten-ere.
11 But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
Orain bada eguite bera-ere acaba eçaçue, nolaco içan baita nahiaren gogo presta, halaco biz acabatzea-ere vkanaren arauez.
12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.
Ecen baldin aitzinetic bada gogo prest içatea, nehor duenaren arauez gogaraco da, eta ez eztuenaren arauez.
13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
Ecen ezta haur bercéc solagemendu dutençát, eta çuec aurizqui çaiteztençát, baina egoalqui dembora hunetan çuen abundantiác suppli beça hayén peitutassuna.
14 but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality.
Hayén abundantiác-ere çuen peitutassuna suppli deçançát, egoaltassun eguin dadinçát.
15 As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack."
Scribatua den beçala, Anhitz bildu çuenac, eztu deus vkan soberaturic: eta guti çuenac, eztu vkan gutiegui.
16 But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
17 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
Ceren ene exhortationea gogaraco içan baitzayó, eta affectionatuago içanez bere buruz çuetara ethorri içan baita.
18 We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known through all the churches.
Eta igorri vkan-dugu harequin batean anayea, ceinen laudorioa baita Euangelioan Eliça gucietan:
19 Not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
(Eta ez solament laudatu, baina elegitu-ere içan da Elicéz gure bidageco lagun, guçaz administratzen den gratia hunequin Iaun beraren gloriatan eta çuen gogo prestaren cerbitzutan)
20 We are avoiding this, that no one should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
Ihes eguiten draucagula huni, nehorc vitupera ezgaitzan guçaz administratzen den abundantia hunetan:
21 For we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of others.
Eta procuratzen dugula on dena, ez Iaunaren aitzinean solament, baina guiçonén aitzinean-ere.
22 We have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
Eta igorri dugu hequin gure anayea, cein experimentatu baitugu anhitzetan anhitz gauçatan diligent, eta orain vnguiz diligentago çuetan dudan confidança handiagatic.
23 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.
Bada Titez den becembatean ene lagun da eta çuec baithan aiutaçale: eta gure anayéz den becembatean, Elicén embachadore dirade eta Christen gloria.
24 Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the churches, and of our boasting about you.
Bada, çuen charitatearen eta gure çueçazco gloriatzearen phorogançá eracutsaçué hetara Elicén aitzinean.
