1 Tesalonikarrei 4
1 Gaineracoaz bada anayeác, othoizten çaituztegu, eta requeritzen Iesus Iaunaz, gureganic recebitu vkan duçuen beçala, nola ebili behar çareten eta Iaincoaren gogaraco içan, guerotic guerora auançago çaitezten.
Wherefore, my brethren, I entreat you, and beseech you by our Lord Jesus, that, as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk, and to please God, so ye would make progress more and more.
2 Ecen badaquiçue cer manamenduac eman drauzquiçuegun Iesus Iaunaren partez.
For ye know what command we gave you in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
3 Ecen haur da Iaincoaren vorondatea, çuen sanctificationea, paillardiçataric beguira çaitezten:
For this is the pleasure of God, your sanctification; and that ye be separated from all whoredom;
4 Eta iaquin deçan çuetaric batbederac bere vnciaren posseditzen sanctificationerequin eta ohorerequin:
and that each one of you might know how to possess his vessel, in sanctity and in honor;
5 Ez guthiciataco affectionerequin, Gentil Iaincoa eçagutzen eztutenen ançora.
and not in the concupiscence of lust, like the rest of the Gentiles who know not God:
6 Nehorc ezteçala aurizqui edo engana bere anayea eceinere eguitecotan: ecen Iauna gauça hauen gucién mendecaçale da, nola lehen-ere erran eta testificatu baitrauçuegu.
and that ye dare not to transgress and to overreach any one his brother, in this matter; because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as also we have said and testified to you in time past.
7 Ecen ezgaitu deithu vkan Iaincoac cithalqueriatara, baina sanctificationetara.
For God did not call you unto impurity, but to sanctification.
8 Bada gauça hauc arbuyatzen dituenac, eztu guiçon-bat arbuyatzen, baina Iaincoa, ceinec bere Spiritu saindua gutan eçarri-ere vkan baitu.
He therefore who spurneth, spurneth not man but God, who hath given his Holy Spirit in you.
9 Anayetassunezco charitateaz den becembatean, eztuçue mengoaric scriba dieçaçuedan ecen ceuroc Iaincoaz iracatsiac çarete, elkar onhets deçaçuen.
Now concerning love to the brethren, ye need not that I should write to you; for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 Ecen eguiten-ere baduçue haur Maeedonia gucian diraden anaye orotará: baina othoizten çaituztegu, anayeác, guerotic guerora auançago çaitezten,
Ye likewise do so, to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but I entreat you, my brethren, to be exuberant:
11 Eta pena eçar deçaçuen baquez içatera, eta çuen eguiteco proprién eguitera, eta çuen escu propriéz languitera, manatu çaituztegun beçala:
and that ye strive to be quiet, and to attend to your own affairs; and that ye labor with your own hands; as we directed you;
12 Campotic diradenetara honestqui perporta çaiteztençát, eta deusen beharric eztuçuençát.
and that ye walk becomingly towards those without; and that ye be dependent on no man.
13 Eta eztut nahi çuec ignorant çareten, anayeác, lo daunçanéz den becembatean, contrista etzaiteztençát, berce goitico sperançaric eztutenac-ere beçala.
And, I wish you to know, my brethren, that ye should not mourn over them who have fallen asleep, like other people who have no hope.
14 Ecen baldin sinhesten badugu Iesus hil eta resuscitatu dela, halaber Iesus Iaunean lo daunçanac-ere Iaincoac erekarriren ditu harequin.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them who sleep, will God, by Jesus, bring with him.
15 Ecen haur erraiten drauçuegu Iaunaren hitzez ecen gu viciric goitico garatenoc Iaunaren aduenimenduan ezgaitzaiztela aitzinduren lo daunçateney.
And this we say to you, by the word of our Lord, that we who may survive and be alive, at the coming of our Lord, shall not precede them who have slept.
16 Ecen Iauna bera exhortationezco oihurequin, eta Archangelu vozequin, eta Iaincoaren trompettarequin iautsiren da cerutic: eta Christean hilac resuscitaturen dirade lehenic:
Because our Lord will himself descend from heaven, with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief angel, and with the trump of God; and the dead who are in the Messiah, will first arise;
17 Guero gu viciric goitico garatenoc, harrapaturen garate hequin batean hodeyetan Iaunaren aitzinera airetan: eta halaz bethi Iaunarequin içanen gara.
and then, we who survive and are alive shall be caught up together with them to the clouds, to meet our Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with our Lord.
18 Bada, consola eçaçue elkar hitz hauçaz.
Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.
