1 Timoteori 3
1 Hitz segura duc haur, Baldin nehorc, Ipizpicu içatera desiratzen badu, obra excellentbat desiratzen dic:
This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.
2 Baina behar dic Ipizpicuac içan irreprehensible, emazte bakoitz baten senhar, vigilant, sobre, modest, estrangerén ostatuz gogotic recebiçale, iracasteco carazco:
The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
3 Ez mahatsarnoari emana, ez vkaldicari, ez irabaizte deshonestaren guthicioso, baina benigno, ez reuoltari, ez auaritioso:
not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
4 Bere familia honestqui gobernatzen duelaric, bere haourrac suiectionetan eduquiten dituelaric honestate gucirequin:
one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
5 (Ecen baldin edoceinec bere etchearen gobernatzen ezpadaqui, nolatan Iaincoaren Eliçari gogoa emanen drauca?)
(for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)
6 Ez apprendiz berri, vrguluz hanturic deabruaren condemnationera eror eztadinçát.
not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
7 Behar dic are harc duen testimoniage ona campocoetaric-ere: reprotchutara eta deabruen laçora eror eztadinçát.
Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling 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:
Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,
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.
Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
11 Halaber hayén emazteac diraden honest, ez gaitzerraile, baina sobre, leyal gauça gucietan.
Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, and faithful in all things.
12 Diacreac diraden emazte bederaren senhar, gobernatzen dituztelaric honestqui bere haourrac eta bere etcheac.
Let servants be 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 those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing 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 I write to you, hoping to come to you 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 wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly 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.
Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.
