1 Korintoarrei 4
1 Estima beça guçaz guiçonac Christen ministréz, eta Iaincoaren secretuén dispensaçaléz beçala.
So think of us as Christ's servants given the responsibility for “the mysteries of God.”
2 Baina gaineracoaz, necessario da dispensaçaletan leyal batbedera eriden dadin.
More than this, those who have such responsibilities are required to be trustworthy.
3 Niçaz den becembatean, ansia guti dut çueçaz edo iugemendu humanoz iudicatu içatearen: are neure buruä-ere eztut iudicatzen.
Personally it hardly matters to me if you or anyone else judges me—in fact I don't even judge myself.
4 Ecen deusetan eztut neure buruä hoguendun senditzen: ordea huneçaz eznaiz iustificatu: baina ni iudicatzen nauena, Iauna da.
I don't know of anything I've done wrong, but that doesn't make me morally right. It's the Lord who judges me.
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.
So don't judge anything before the right time—when the Lord comes. He will bring to light all the darkest secrets that are hidden, and he will reveal people's motives. God will give everyone whatever praise they deserve.
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.
Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied this to Apollos and myself as an example for you. That way you will learn not to go beyond what has been written, and not in arrogance prefer one over the other.
7 Ecen norc hi reputationetan eçarten au? eta cer duc recebitu vkan eztuanic? eta baldin recebitu vkan baduc, cergatic gloriatzen aiz recebitu ezpahu beçala?
Who made you so special? What do you have that you weren't given? Since you were given it, why do you proudly claim you weren't?
8 Ia asse çarete, ia abrastu çarete, gu gabe reguetu çarete: eta aitzineçate regna, guc-ere çuequin batean regna deçagunçát.
You think you have all you need. You think you're so wealthy. You think you're kings already, and don't need us. I wish you were really ruling as kings, so we could rule 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.
The way I see it, God has put us apostles on display as the last in the line, condemned to die. We have been made a public show before the entire universe, to angels and to human beings.
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're Christ's fools, but you are so wise in Christ! We're the weak ones, but you are so strong! You have the glory, but we are despised!
11 Eta trabaillatzen gara, gure escu propriéz lan eguinez.
Right up till now we're hungry and thirsty. We have no clothes. We're badly beaten up, and we have no place to call home.
12 Iniuriatzen gara, eta vngui erraiten dugu: persecutatzen gara, eta suffritzen dugu:
We struggle on doing manual work. When people curse us, we bless them. When they persecute us, we put up with it.
13 Diffamatzen gara, eta othoitz eguiten dugu, munduco scobaquin beçala eguin içan gara, eta gucién karracaquin beçala oraindrano.
When they insult us, we respond with kindness. Even now we are treated like dirt, the worst trash in the whole world.
14 Eztrauzquiçuet gauça hauc scribatzen ahalque çaitzatedançát, baina neure haour maite anço auisatzen çaituztet.
I'm not writing like this to make you feel ashamed, but to caution you as my children whom I love so much.
15 Ecen hamar milla pedagogo bacintuzte-ere Christean, ez ordea anhitz aita: ecen Iesus Christean, Euangelioaz nic engendratu vkan çaituztet.
Even though you may have thousands of Christian instructors, you don't have many fathers—it was in Christ Jesus that I became your father when I shared the good news with you.
16 Othoitz eguiten drauçuet bada, ene imitaçale çareten.
So I'm pleading with you to imitate me!
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.
That's why I sent Timothy to you, my trustworthy son in the Lord who I love so much. He will remind you about the way I follow Christ, just as I always teach in every church I visit.
18 Ni çuetara ethorteco ezpaninz beçala, batzu hantuac içan dirade.
Some among you have become arrogant, thinking I wouldn't bother coming to see you.
19 Baina ethorriren naiz sarri çuetara, baldin Iaunac nahi badu: eta eçaguturen dut, ez hantu içan diraden horién hitza, baina verthutea.
But I am coming to visit you soon, if that's what the Lord wants. Then I'll find out what these arrogant people are saying, and what kind of power they have.
20 Ecen Iaincoaren resumá ezta hitzean, baina verthute spiritualean.
For the kingdom of God is not about mere words, but about power.
21 Cer nahi duçue? cihorrequin ethorriren naiz çuetara, ala charitaterequin eta emetassunezco spiriturequin?
So what do you want? Shall I come with a stick to beat you, or in love and a gentle spirit?
