1 Timoteori 3
1 Hitz segura duc haur, Baldin nehorc, Ipizpicu içatera desiratzen badu, obra excellentbat desiratzen dic:
THIS is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 Baina behar dic Ipizpicuac içan irreprehensible, emazte bakoitz baten senhar, vigilant, sobre, modest, estrangerén ostatuz gogotic recebiçale, iracasteco carazco:
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Ez mahatsarnoari emana, ez vkaldicari, ez irabaizte deshonestaren guthicioso, baina benigno, ez reuoltari, ez auaritioso:
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 Bere familia honestqui gobernatzen duelaric, bere haourrac suiectionetan eduquiten dituelaric honestate gucirequin:
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (Ecen baldin edoceinec bere etchearen gobernatzen ezpadaqui, nolatan Iaincoaren Eliçari gogoa emanen drauca?)
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Ez apprendiz berri, vrguluz hanturic deabruaren condemnationera eror eztadinçát.
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 Behar dic are harc duen testimoniage ona campocoetaric-ere: reprotchutara eta deabruen laçora eror eztadinçát.
Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8 Diacréc halaber behar die içan honest, ez bi hitzetaco, ez mahatsarno anhitzari emanac, ez irabaizte deshonestaren guthicioso:
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9 Eduquiten dutelaric fedearen mysterioa conscientia chahurequin.
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 Eta hec-ere phoroga ditecen lehen, guero cerbitza deçaten, baldin reprotchu gabetaco badirade.
And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
11 Halaber hayén emazteac diraden honest, ez gaitzerraile, baina sobre, leyal gauça gucietan.
Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
12 Diacreac diraden emazte bederaren senhar, gobernatzen dituztelaric honestqui bere haourrac eta bere etcheac.
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13 Ecen vngui cerbitzatu duqueitenéc grado ona acquisitzen dié beretzat, eta libertate handia Iesus Christ baithango fedean.
For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Gauça hauc scribatzen drauzquiat, sperança dudalaric ecen sarri hiregana ethorriren naicela:
These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
15 Eta baldin berancen badut, daquiançát nola behar den Iaincoaren etchean conuersatu, cein baita Iainco viciaren Eliçá, eguiaren habea eta sustenguä.
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 Eta duda gabe, handi duc pietatearen mysterioa: ecen Iaincoa manifestatu içan dela haraguian, iustificatu dela Spirituan, ikussi içan dela Aingueruèz, predicatu içan çayela Gentiley, sinhetsi içan dela munduan, goiti recebitu içan dela gloriara.
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
