1 Timoteori 4
1 Bada Spirituac claroqui erraiten dic ecen azqueneco demboretan reuoltaturen diradela batzu fedetic spiritu abusariey behatzen çaiztela, eta deabruén doctriney,
But the Spirit distinctly says that in later times there will be some who will fall away from the faith, and devote their attention to misleading spirits, and to the teaching of demons,
2 Hypocrisiaz gueçurrac iracasten dituztenén doctriney, ceinén conscientiá cauterizatua baita,
who will make use of the hypocrisy of lying teachers. These people’s consciences are seared,
3 Defendatzen dutelaric ezconcea eta viandetaric iatea, cein Iaincoac creatu baitrauzte vsatzeco remerciamendurequin fideley, eta eguiá eçagutu vkan duteney.
and they discourage marriage and enjoin abstinence from certain kinds of food; though God created these foods to be enjoyed thankfully by those who hold the faith and have attained a full knowledge of the truth.
4 Ecen Iaincoaren creatura gucia duc on, eta deus ez iraizteco, baldin remerciamendurequin recebitzen bada.
Everything created by God is good, and there in nothing that need be rejected – provided only that it is received thankfully;
5 Ecen creaturá sanctificatu dihoac Iaincoaren hitzaz eta orationez.
for it is consecrated by God’s blessing and by prayer.
6 Gauça hauc baldin proposa badietzéc anayey Iesus Christen ministre on aiçate, haci içanic fedearen, eta diligentqui iarreiqui atzayón doctrina onaren hitzetan.
Put all this before the followers, and you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, sustained by the precepts of the faith and of that good teaching by which you have guided your life.
7 Baina iraizquic fable profanoac eta atsoenac irudiac: eta exerci eçac eure buruä pietatean.
As for profane legends and old wives’ tales, leave them alone. Train yourself to lead a religious life;
8 Ecen exercitatione corporala probetchu gutitaco duc: baina pietatea gauça gucietara probetchutaco duc, presenteco vicitzearen eta ethortecoaren promessa duelaric.
for while the training of the body is of service in some respects, religion is of service in all, carrying with it, as it does, a promise of life both here and hereafter.
9 Hitz segura duc haur, eta guciz recebi dadin dignea.
How true that saying is and worthy of the fullest acceptance!
10 Ecen halacotz trabaillatzen-ere gaituc, eta escarniatzen, ceren sperança baitugu Iainco vician, cein baita guiçon gucién Saluadore, eta principalqui fidelén.
With that aim we toil and struggle, for we have set our hopes on the living God, who is the Saviour of all, and especially of those who hold the faith.
11 Gauça hauc denuntiaitzac eta iracats.
Remember these things in your teaching.
12 Nehorc hire gaztetassuna ezteçala menosprecia: baina aicen fidelén exemplu hitzean, conuersationean, charitatean, spirituan, fedean, puritatean.
Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but, by your conversation, your conduct, your love, your faith, and your purity, be an example to those who hold the faith.
13 Ethor nadin artean, aquió iracurtzeari, exhortatzeari, doctrinari.
Until I come, apply yourself to public reading, preaching, and teaching.
14 Ezteçála menosprecia hitan den dohaina, cein eman içan baitzaic prophetiaz, Ancianoén compainiaren escuén impositionearequin.
Do not neglect the divine gift within you, which was given you, amid many a prediction, when the hands of the church elders were laid on your head.
15 Gauça hauc praticaitzac, eta aicén gauça hautan attento: hire auançamendua agueri dençat gucién artean.
Practice these things, devote yourself to them, so that your progress may be plain to everyone.
16 Gogoa emoc eure buruäri eta doctrinari: perseuera eçac gauça hautan: ecen baldin haur badaguic, eure buruä duc saluaturen eta hiri behatzen çaizquianac.
Look to yourself as well as to your teaching. Persevere in this, for your doing so will mean salvation for yourself as well as for your hearers.
