1 Tesalonikarrei 2
1 Ecen ceuroc badaquiçue, anayeác, gure çuec baitharaco sartzea nola eztén vano içan:
For you yourselves know, brothers, that my visit to you did not fail of its purpose;
2 Baina are, daquiçuen beçala, lehenetic affligitu eta iniuriatu içan baguinen-ere Philippesen, hardieça hartu vkan dugu gure Iaincoan, çuey Iaincoaren Euangelioaren predicatzera combat handirequin.
for you remember that although I had already borne ill-treatment and insult at Philippi, I took courage in my God to tell you the gospel of God, in the face of much opposition.
3 Ecen gure exhortationea ezta abusionez, ez vileniaz, ez enganiorequin içan:
For my preaching was not grounded on a delusion, or on impure motives, on in deceit.
4 Baina nola Iaincoaz approbatu içan baicara Euangelioaren predicationea eman lequigun, hala minçatzen gara, ez guiçonén gogara eguin nahi baguendu beçala, baina Iaincoaren, ceinec gure bihotzac approbatzen baititu.
But as my fitness to be entrusted with the gospel has been tested and approved by God, I so speak, not to please men, but to please God, who is testing my motives.
5 Ecen behinere lausenguzco hitzez eztugu vsatu vkan, daquiçuen beçala: ezeta auaritiataco occasionez: Iaincoa da testimonio.
For as you well know, I never resorted to flattery, nor to any pretext for enriching myself. God is my witness!
6 Eta guiçonetaric eztugu gloriaric bilhatu vkan, ezeta çuetaric, ez bercetaric, grauitate eduqui ahal guenduqueelaric, Christen Apostolu beçala.
Now was I seeking glory from men, either yourselves or others, although I might have exercised authority as Christ’s apostle.
7 Baina içan gara eme çuen artean, vnhide batec bere haourrac delicatuqui hatzen balitu beçala.
On the contrary I showed myself among you as gentle as a mother, when she tenderly nurses her own children.
8 Hunela çuetara affectionatuac guinelaric, desir guenduen çuey partitzera ez solament Iaincoaren Euangelioa, baina gure arima propriac-ere, ceren guçaz onhetsiac baitzineten.
So in my fond affection it was my joy to give you, not only the gospel of God, but my very life also, because you had become dear to me.
9 Ecen orhoit çarete, anayeác, gure trabailluaz eta nequeaz: ecen gau eta egun languiten ari guinela, çuetaric nehoren phorogu ezguinençát, predicatu vkan dugu çuec baithan Iaincoaren Euangelioa.
You recall, brothers, my labor and toil; how, while working at my trade day and night, so as not to become a burden to any of you, I proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
10 Çuec testimonio çarete eta Iaincoa, nola sainduqui eta iustoqui, eta reprotchu gabe çuen, sinhetsi duçuenón artean conuersatu vkan dugun.
You are witnesses - and so is God - how pure and just and blameless was my behavior among you believers.
11 Daquiçuen beçala, nola çuetaric batbedera, aitác bere haourrac beçala, auertitzen guenduen.
You know how I was wont to treat each of you as a father treats his children,
12 Eta consolatzen eta requeritzen, ebil cindeizten bere resumara eta gloriara deitzen çaituzten Iaincoari dagocan beçala.
exhorting and imploring and adjuring each one among you to lead a life worthy of the God who called you into his own kingdom and glory.
13 Halacotz guc-ere esquerrac emaiten drauzquiogu Iaincoari paussuric gabe, ceren Iaincoaren hitzaren predicationea gureganic recebitu vkan duçuenean, recebitu vkan baituçue, ez guiçonén hitz beçala, baina (nola eguiazqui baita) Iaincoaren hitz beçala, ceinec obratzen-ere baitu çuetan sinhesten duçuenotan.
For this reason also I am giving continual thanks to God, because when you heard from me the spoken word of God, you received it not as the word of men, but as the word of God (which in truth it is), who himself is effectually at work in you believe.
14 Ecen çuec, anayeác, imitaçale eguin içan çarete Iaincoaren Eliça Iudean diradenén Iesus Christean, nola gauça berac suffritu vkan baitituçue çuec-ere çuen natione berecoetaric, hec-ere Iuduetaric beçala:
For you, brothers, began to follow the example of the churches of God in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus; and you in your turn suffered at the hands of your fellow citizens persecutions like to those which they endured from the Jews -
15 Ceinéc Iesus Iauna-ere hil vkan baituté, eta berén Propheta propriac, gu-ere persecutatu vkan gaituzté, eta eztirade Iaincoaren gogaraco, eta guiçon gucién contrario dirade:
The men who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out - they are displeasing to God, and are the enemies of all mankind.
16 Gu empatchatzen gaituztelaric Gentiley minçatzetic salua ditecençat, bethi compli ditzatençát bere bekatuac: ecen hetara heldu içan da hirá finerano.
They forbid me to speak to the Gentiles with a view to their salvation. They continue always to fill up the measure of their sins; but the wrath of God is come upon them to the full!
17 Eta gu, anayeác, çuetaric separaturic dembora appurbatetacotz ikustez, ez bihotzez, hambat cineçago emplegatu içan gara çuen beguithartearen ikustera, desir handirequin.
But I, my brothers, although torn from you for a short season (in presence, not in heart), made eager efforts to behold you face to face with strong longing.
18 Halacotz ethorri nahi içan gara çuetara (ni Paul behinçát) behin eta berriz, baina empatchatu vkan gaitu Satanec.
For that reason I would fain have visited you - I, Paul, again and again - but Satan hindered me.
19 Ecen ceric da gure sperançá, edo bozcarioa, edo gloriagarrico coroa? ala ez cuec-ere Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren aitzinean haren aduenimenduan?
For what is my hope, or joy? What is the victor’s wreath in which I exult? What but your own selves in the presence of our Lord Jesus, at his coming!
20 Segur çuec çarete gure gloriá eta bozcarioa.
For you are my pride and my delight.
