Filipoarrei 1
1 PAVLEC eta Timotheoc Iesus Christen cerbitzariéc Iesus Christ Iaunean Philippesen diraden saindu guciey Ipizpicuequin batean eta Diacrequin,
To all Christ’s People at Philippi, with the Presiding Officers and Assistants, from Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus.
2 Gratia dela çuequin eta baquea Iainco Aitaganic, eta Iesus Christ Iaunaganic.
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you, and give you peace.
3 Esquerrac emaiten drauzquiot neure Iaincoari çueçazco orhoitzapen handirequin,
Every recollection that I have of you is a cause of thankfulness to God,
4 (Bethiere neure oratione gucietan çuen guciongatic bozcariorequin othoitze eguiten dudala)
always, in every prayer that I offer for you all — my prayers are full of joy —
5 Ceren Euangelioren communionera ethorri içan çareten, lehen egunetic oraindrano:
Because of the share that you have had in spreading the Good News, from the first day that you received it until now.
6 Huneçaz seguratzen naicela, ecen obra ona çuetan hassi vkan duenac acabaturen duela Iesus Christen egunerano:
For of this I am confident, that he who began a good work in you will complete it in readiness for the Day of Jesus Christ.
7 Nola raçoina baita nic haur estima deçadan çueçaz gucioz, ceren bihotzean baitzadutzatet, eta ene estecaduretan, eta defensionean eta Euangelioaren confirmationean çuec gucioc enequin baitzarete participant ene gratian.
And, indeed, I am justified in feeling thus about you all; because you have a warm place in my heart — you who all, both in my imprisonment and in the work of defending and establishing the Good News, shared my privilege with me.
8 Ecen Iaincoa dut testimonio cein cinez desiratzen çaituztedan çuec gucioc Iesus Christen affectione cordialez:
God will bear me witness how I yearn over you all with the tenderness of Christ Jesus.
9 Eta hunez othoiztez nago, çuen charitatea oraino guehiago eta guehiago abunda dadin eçagutzerequin eta iugemendu gucirequin:
And what I pray for is this — that your love may grow yet stronger and stronger, with increasing knowledge and all discernment,
10 Gauça contrarioac discerni ditzaçuençát: pur eta trebucu gabe çaretençát Iesus Christen egunerano:
until you are able to appreciate all moral distinctions. And I pray, too, that you may be kept pure and blameless against the Day of Christ,
11 Iesus Christez Iaincoaren gloriatan eta laudoriotan diraden fructuz betheac çaretelaric.
bearing a rich harvest of that righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Eta nahi dut daquiçuen, anayeác, ecen niri heldu çaizquidan gauçác Euangelioaren auançamendutarago ethorri içan diradela:
Brothers, I want you to realise that what has happened to me has actually served to forward the Good News.
13 Hambat non ene estecadurác famatu içan baitirade Christ Iaunean Pretorio gucian eta berce leku gucietan:
It has even become evident, not only to all the Imperial Guard, but to every one else, that it is for Christ’s sake that I am in chains.
14 Eta anayetaric anhitz gure Iaunean ene estecaduréz asseguraturic, ausartquiago hitzaz minçatzera hauçu baitirade.
And besides this, most of our Brothers have gained confidence in the Lord through my chains, and now venture with far greater freedom to speak of God’s Message fearlessly.
15 Eta batzuc behinçát inuidiaz eta contentionez, eta bercéc vorondate onez-ere Christ predicatzen duté:
It is true that some do proclaim the Christ out of Jealousy and opposition; but there are others who proclaim him from good-will.
16 Batzuc, diot, contentionez Christ denuntiatzen duté ez purqui, ene estecadurác afflictionez emendatu vstez:
The latter do it from love for me, knowing that I have been appointed to plead the cause of the Good News.
17 Baina bercéc charitatez, daquitelaric ecen Euangelioaren defensionetan eçarri içan naicela.
The former spread the news of the Christ in a factious spirit, and not sincerely, thinking to add to the pain of my chains.
18 Cer bada? nola-ere baita, bada fictionez, bada eguiaz, Christ predicatzen da: eta hunetan alegueratzen naiz, eta alegueraturen-ere.
But what of that? Only that in some way or other, either with assumed or with real earnestness, Christ is being made known; and at that I rejoice.
19 Ceren baitaquit, ecen haur ethorriren çaitadala saluamendutara çuen orationéz, eta Iesus Cristen Spirituaren aiutáz,
Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that, through your prayers and through a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, ‘all this will make for my Salvation.’
20 Ene iguriquite fermuaren eta sperançaren araura, ecen deusetan eznaicela confus içanen, aitzitic libertate gucirequin bethiere beçala, orain-ere magnificaturen dela Christ ene gorputzean, vicitzez bada hiltzez bada.
And this will fulfil my earnest expectation and hope that I shall have no cause for shame, but that, with unfailing courage, now as hitherto, Christ will be honoured in my body, whether by my life or by my death,
21 Ecen niri Christ irabaizte çait vicitzera eta hiltzera.
for to me life is Christ, and death is gain.
22 Ala haraguian vicitzera probetchu dudanez, eta cer hauta deçaquedan, eztaquit.
But what if the life here in the body — if this brings me fruit from my labours? Then which to choose I cannot tell! I am sorely perplexed either way!
23 Ecen hertsen naiz alde bietaric, desir dudalaric partitzera eta Christequin içatera: ecen haur vnguiz hobeago dut:
My own desire is to depart and be with Christ, for this would be far better.
24 Baina haraguian egon nadin necessarioago da çuengatic.
But, for your sakes, it may be more needful that I should still remain here in the body.
25 Eta haur seguratuqui badaquit, ecen egonen naicela eta perseueraturen dudala çuequin gucioquin çuen auançamendutan, eta çuen fedearen bozcariotan.
Yes, I am confident that this is so, and therefore I am sure that I shall stay, and stay near you all, to promote your progress and joy in the Faith;
26 Abunda dadinçát çuen gloriationea Iesus Christean niçaz, ene berriz çuetaraco ethorteaz.
so that, when you once more have me among you, you, in your union with Christ Jesus, may find in me fresh cause for exultation.
27 Solament Christen Euangelioari dagocan beçala conuersa eçaçue, bada ethor nadin eta ikus çaitzatedan, bada absent naicén, adi deçadan çuen eguitecoez, ecen perseueratzen duçuela spiritu batetan, gogo batez elkarrequin Euangelioaren fedeaz combatitzen çaretelaric, eta contrastez deusetan icitzen etzaretelaric:
Under all circumstances let your lives be worthy of the Good News of the Christ: so that, whether I come and see you, or whether I hear of your affairs at a distance, I may know that you are standing firm, animated by one spirit, and joining with one heart in a common struggle for the Faith taught by the Good News,
28 Cein baita hayén perditionetaco seignale, eta çuen saluamendutaco, eta haur Iaincoaganic.
without ever shrinking from your opponents. To them this will be a sign of their Destruction and of your Salvation — a sign from God.
29 Ecen çuey eman içan çaiçue Christgatic, ez solament hura baithan sinhestea, baina harengatic suffritzea-ere:
For, on behalf of Christ, you have had the privilege granted you, not only of trusting in him, but also of suffering on his behalf.
30 Nitan ikussi duçuen, eta orain ençuten duçuen combat bera duçuela.
You will be engaged in the same hard struggle as that which you once saw me waging, and which you hear that I am waging still.
