1 Korintoarrei 4

1 Estima beça guçaz guiçonac Christen ministréz, eta Iaincoaren secretuén dispensaçaléz beçala.

Let us be judged as servants of Christ, and as those who are responsible for the secret things of God.

2 Baina gaineracoaz, necessario da dispensaçaletan leyal batbedera eriden dadin.

And it is right for such servants to be safe persons.

3 Niçaz den becembatean, ansia guti dut çueçaz edo iugemendu humanoz iudicatu içatearen: are neure buruä-ere eztut iudicatzen.

But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.

4 Ecen deusetan eztut neure buruä hoguendun senditzen: ordea huneçaz eznaiz iustificatu: baina ni iudicatzen nauena, Iauna da.

For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

5 Halacotz, ezteçaçuela dembora baino lehen iudica, Iauna dathorreno, ceinec ilhumbeco gauça estaliac-ere arguituren baititu, eta bihotzetaco conseilluac manifestaturen: eta orduan laudorio vkanen du batbederac Iaincoaganic.

For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

6 Bada anayác, gauça hauc minçatzeco manera batez itzuli vkan ditut neure eta Apolloren gainera, çuen causaz: gutan ikas deçaçuençát, scribatua den baino guehiago ez presumitzera: bata bercearen contra hant etzaiteztençát berceren contra.

My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

7 Ecen norc hi reputationetan eçarten au? eta cer duc recebitu vkan eztuanic? eta baldin recebitu vkan baduc, cergatic gloriatzen aiz recebitu ezpahu beçala?

For who made you better than your brother? or what have you that has not been given to you? but if it has been given to you, what cause have you for pride, as if it had not been given to you?

8 Ia asse çarete, ia abrastu çarete, gu gabe reguetu çarete: eta aitzineçate regna, guc-ere çuequin batean regna deçagunçát.

For even now you are full, even now you have wealth, you have been made kings without us: truly, I would be glad if you were kings, so that we might be kings with you.

9 Ecen badaritzat Iaincoac gu monstrança eçarri gaituela, baicara, azquen Apostoluac, heriotara condemnatuac beçala: ecen beguietaco miragarri eguin içan gaitzaizte munduari eta Aingueruey eta guiçoney.

For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.

10 Gu erho Christgatic, eta çuec çuhur Christ Iaunean, gu flaccu, eta çuec sendo: çuec noble, eta gu bilaun. Ordu hunetarano eta gosse gara eta egarri gara, eta billuci gara, eta buffetatzen gara, eta leku batetic bercera errebelatuac gabiltza:

We are made to seem foolish for Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are feeble, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have shame.

11 Eta trabaillatzen gara, gure escu propriéz lan eguinez.

Even to this hour we are without food, drink, and clothing, we are given blows and have no certain resting-place;

12 Iniuriatzen gara, eta vngui erraiten dugu: persecutatzen gara, eta suffritzen dugu:

And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;

13 Diffamatzen gara, eta othoitz eguiten dugu, munduco scobaquin beçala eguin içan gara, eta gucién karracaquin beçala oraindrano.

When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.

14 Eztrauzquiçuet gauça hauc scribatzen ahalque çaitzatedançát, baina neure haour maite anço auisatzen çaituztet.

I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.

15 Ecen hamar milla pedagogo bacintuzte-ere Christean, ez ordea anhitz aita: ecen Iesus Christean, Euangelioaz nic engendratu vkan çaituztet.

For even if you had ten thousand teachers in Christ, you have not more than one father: for in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.

16 Othoitz eguiten drauçuet bada, ene imitaçale çareten.

So my desire is that you take me as your example.

17 Halacotz igorri drauçuet Timotheo, cein baita ene seme maitea eta fidela gure Iaunean, harc orhoit eraciren drauzquiçue ceric diraden ene bideac Christean, leku gucietan Eliça orotan iracasten dudan beçala.

For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and true child in the Lord; he will make clear to you my ways in Christ, even as I am teaching everywhere in every church.

18 Ni çuetara ethorteco ezpaninz beçala, batzu hantuac içan dirade.

Now some are full of pride, as if I was not coming to you.

19 Baina ethorriren naiz sarri çuetara, baldin Iaunac nahi badu: eta eçaguturen dut, ez hantu içan diraden horién hitza, baina verthutea.

But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.

20 Ecen Iaincoaren resumá ezta hitzean, baina verthute spiritualean.

For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.

21 Cer nahi duçue? cihorrequin ethorriren naiz çuetara, ala charitaterequin eta emetassunezco spiriturequin?

What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?
