2 Corinthians 13
1 [In the Scriptures it is stated that when one person] accuses [another of wrongdoing, you must not believe his] accusation [right away]. [First, you must listen to at least] two or three people who actually saw what happened. [So keep in mind that] this will be the third time that I will visit you!
Haur da çuetara ethorten naicén heren aldia Biga edo hirur testimonioren ahoan fermu içanen da hitz gucia.
2 When I visited you the second time, I warned you [that I was going to punish all the wrongdoers among you]. [And now] I am [warning you] again while I am still away [from you]. When I visit you this third time, I will punish those who were sinning [at the time when I visited you] before [and who are still sinning], and I will [punish] the others [who have been sinning since then, if they have not stopped their sinful behavior].
Aitzinetic erran vkan dut, eta berriz aitzinetic diot, present baninz beçala, eta absent naicelaric orain scribatzen drauet lehen bekatu eguin duteney, eta goitico guciey, ecen berriz banathor eztudala nehor guppida vkanen.
3 Because you have demanded that I prove to you that Christ is speaking [to you when] I [speak to you, I will show you that I speak to you as his apostle. Christ] does not approve of your sinful behavior. On the contrary, he will powerfully [discipline you].
Christ nitan minço denaren experientiaren ondoan çabiltzatenaz gueroz, cein ezpaita infirmo çuetara, baina da botheretsu çuetan.
4 [It is true that] Christ [seemed to be] weak when he was crucified {when [people] killed him by nailing him to the cross}. But [it is also true that] he [now] lives because God [worked] powerfully [to bring him back to life. Similarly], as I [serve] God, I also am a weak human [being as Christ was]. But I also [have a close relationship with] Christ [who is now alive again]. And with his [authority] I will use God’s power [to discipline] you.
Ecen crucificatu içan bada-ere infirmitatez, alabaina vici da Iaincoaren verthutez: ecen gu-ere infirmo gara harequin, baina vici gara harequin Iaincoaren verthutez çuec baithara.
5 Each of you should ask yourself: “[Do I] believe [God’s message about Christ?]” Each of you should [examine yourselves to] make sure that you truly do [believe] in Christ [and so truly belong to him], and that [his Spirit lives] in you [(pl)]. When you examine yourselves [in that way], I am sure that you will [RHQ] say [to me], “Yes, of course we [belong to] Christ.”
Çuen buruäc experimentaitzaçue eya fedean çaretenez, çuen buruäc phorogaitzaçue: ala eztituçue çuen buruäc eçagutzen, ecen Iesus Christ çuetan dela? baldin reprobo ezpaçarete.
6 I am [also] certain that you will know that I [belong to Christ, just like you do].
Baina sperança dut eçaguturen duçuela ecen gu ezgarela reprobo.
7 But [because I do not want to have to punish you], I am praying to God that he will help you not to do anything evil [that would cause me to have to punish you. I pray this], not in order that when people [who say that I am not your apostle] realize [that my ministry among you has been very successful, they will have to agree] that I do have authority from Christ. Instead, [I pray this because I want] you to do what is right, even though that might mean that [my opponents would think] that I do not have authority from Christ, [since I would not have an opportunity to show my authority to discipline you].
Eta othoitz eguiten draucat Iaincoari, deus gaizquiric eguin ezteçaçuen: ez gu approbatu eriden gaitecençát, baina çuec vngui daguiçuençát, eta gu reprobo beçala garençát.
8 [If you do what is right, I will not discipline you], [because it would] not [be right for me to do that if you are conducting your lives the way you should, like] God’s true [message says that you should. What God asks me to do is to help people to know and obey his] true [message].
Ecen deus ecin daidiquegu eguiaren contra, baina eguiaren alde.
9 I am happy [whenever] you are strongly [trusting and obeying Christ, and because of that I do not have to use my authority to discipline you. It does not matter to me if that makes people think that I do not have any authority]. Truly, what I am praying for is that [God] will [help] you to completely change your conduct.
Ecen alegueratzen gara gu flaccu garen, eta çuec erscon çareten: eta haur-ere desiratzen dugu, diot, çuen perfectionea.
10 That is why I am writing these things while I am still away from you. [What I want is that] when I visit you, [you will already be conducting your lives as God wants you to], and so I will not have to [discipline you] severely, as the [Lord Jesus Christ gave me] the authority to do. The authority that I have from the Lord is to help you to become [spiritually] mature believers, not to cause you to stop [trusting in him].
Halacotz gauça hauc absent naicela scribatzen ditut, present içanen naicenean seueritatez vsat ezteçadançát, Iaunac edificationetacotz eta ez destructionetacotz eman drautan botherearen araura.
11 Finally, my fellow believers, [I say to you], be joyful. Completely [change how you conduct your lives], and do what I have urged you [to do]. Be united in what you think [about the matters about which I have written to you]. Live peacefully [with each other. If you do those things], God, who [enables you to] love [each other] and be peaceful, will bless [MTY] you.
Gaineracoaz, anayeác, aleguera çaiteztez, auança çaiteztez perfect içatera, consola çaiteztez, çareten consentimendu batetaco, çareten vici baquean, eta charitatezco eta baquezco Iaincoa içanen da çuequin.
12 Greet each other affectionately as [fellow members] of God’s family [should].
Elkar saluta eçaçue pot saindu batez.
13 All God’s people [here] send you greetings.
Salutatzen çaituztez saindu guciéc.
14 [I pray that] the Lord Jesus Christ will act kindly [toward] all of you, in ways that you do not deserve, that God will [show all of you how much he] loves you, and that the Holy Spirit [will cause you to have good] fellowship [with him and with each other].
Iesus Christ Iaunaren gratiá, eta Iaincoaren charitatea, eta Spiritu sainduaren communicationea dela çuequin gucioquin. Amen.
