2 Corinthians 12
1 I am compelled to boast. It is not a profitable employment, but I will proceed to visions and revelations granted me by the Lord.
Segur ezta mengoa gloria nadin: ecen ethorriren naiz visionetara eta Iaunaren reuelationetara.
2 I know a Christian man who fourteen years ago-- whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows--was caught up (this man of whom I am speaking) even to the highest Heaven.
Badaçagut guiçon-bat Christ Iaunean hamalaur vrthe baino lehen (ala gorputzetan, eztaquit: ala gorputzetic lekora, eztaquit: Iaincoac daqui) hirurgarren cerurano harrapatu içan denic.
3 And I know that this man-- whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know;
Eta badaquit, halaco guiçona (ala gorputzetan, ala gorputzetic lekora, eztaquit: Iaincoac daqui)
4 God knows--was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable things which no human being is permitted to repeat.
Ecen harrapatu içan dela Paradisura, eta ençun vkan dituela erran ecin daitezqueen hitzac, erraiteco guiçonaren impossibleac.
5 Of such a one I will boast; but of myself I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
Halacoaz gloriaturen naiz: baina neure buruäz eznaiz gloriaturen, neure infirmitatetan baicen.
6 If however I should choose to boast, I should not be a fool for so doing, for I should be speaking the truth. But I forbear, lest any one should be led to estimate me more highly than what his own eyes attest, or more highly than what he hears from my lips.
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.
7 And judging by the stupendous grandeur of the revelations--therefore lest I should be over-elated there has been sent to me, like the agony of impalement, Satan's angel dealing blow after blow, lest I should be over-elated.
Eta reuelationearen excellentiagatic altchegui eznendinçát, eman içan çait escardabat haraguian, eta Satanen aingueruä ene buffetatzeco, altchegui eznendinçát.
8 As for this, three times have I besought the Lord to rid me of him;
Gauça hunen gainean hiruretan Iaunari othoitz eguin draucat hura eneganic parti ledinçát.
9 but His reply has been, "My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness." Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them--in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.
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.
10 In fact I take pleasure in infirmities, in the bearing of insults, in distress, in persecutions, in grievous difficulties--for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
Halacotz dut atseguin hartzen infirmitatetan, iniurietan, necessitatetan, persecutionetan, Christengatico hersturetan: ecen noiz bainaiz impotent, orduan naiz botheretsu.
11 It is foolish of me to write all this, but you have compelled me to do so. Why, you ought to have been my vindicators; for in no respect have I been inferior to these superlatively great Apostles, even though in myself I am nothing.
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.
12 The signs that characterize the true Apostle have been done among you, accompanied by unwearied fortitude, and by tokens and marvels and displays of power.
Segur ene Apostolutassunaren seignaleac complitu içan dirade çuetan patientia gucirequin eta signorequin eta miraculurequin eta verthuterequin.
13 In what respect, therefore, have you been worse dealt with than other Churches, except that I myself never hung as a dead weight upon you? Forgive the injustice I thus did you!
Ecen certan berce Eliçác baino mendreago içan çarete? ni neuror çuen caltetan nagui içan eznaicena baicen? bidegabe haur barka ieçadaçue.
14 See, I am now for the third time prepared to visit you, but I will not be a dead weight to you. I desire not your money, but yourselves; for children ought not to put by for their parents, but parents for their children.
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.
15 And as for me, most gladly will I spend all I have and be utterly spent for your salvation.
Eta niçaz den becembatean guciz gogotic despendaturen dut eta despendaturen naiz çuen arimacgatic: çuec hambat eta guehiago maite çaituztedalaric, gutiago onhetsia banaiz-ere.
16 If I love you so intensely, am I the less to be loved? Be that as it may: I was not a burden to you. But being by no means scrupulous, I entrapped you, they say!
Baina biz, nic etzaituztedan cargatu vkan: ordea sotil içanez, fineciaz hartu vkan çaituztet.
17 Have I gained any selfish advantage over you through any one of the messengers I have sent to you?
Çuetara igorri vkan ditudanetaric batez-ere pillatu vkan çaituztet?
18 I begged Titus to visit you, and sent our other brother with him. Did Titus gain any selfish advantage over you? Were not he and I guided by one and the same Spirit, and did we not walk in the same steps?
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?
19 You are imagining, all this time, that we are making our defense at your bar. In reality it is as in God's presence and in communion with Christ that we speak; but, dear friends, it is all with a view to your progress in goodness.
Berriz vste duçue ecen gure buruäc excusatzen ditugula çuec baithara? Iaincoaren aitzinean, Christean minço gara: baina gauça hauc gucioc, gucizco maiteác, çuen edificationeagatic.
20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may not find you to be what I desire, and that you may find me to be what you do not desire; that perhaps there may be contention, jealousy, bitter feeling, party spirit, ill-natured talk, backbiting, undue eulogy, unrest;
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:
21 and that upon re-visiting you I may be humbled by my God in your presence, and may have to mourn over many whose hearts still cling to their old sins, and who have not repented of the impurity, fornication, and gross sensuality, of which they have been guilty.
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.
