Filipoarrei 1

1 PAVLEC eta Timotheoc Iesus Christen cerbitzariéc Iesus Christ Iaunean Philippesen diraden saindu guciey Ipizpicuequin batean eta Diacrequin,

Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Christ Jesus: To all God's people in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the ministers of the Church and their assistants.

2 Gratia dela çuequin eta baquea Iainco Aitaganic, eta Iesus Christ Iaunaganic.

May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Esquerrac emaiten drauzquiot neure Iaincoari çueçazco orhoitzapen handirequin,

I thank my God at my every remembrance of you--

4 (Bethiere neure oratione gucietan çuen guciongatic bozcariorequin othoitze eguiten dudala)

always when offering any prayer on behalf of you all, finding a joy in offering it.

5 Ceren Euangelioren communionera ethorri içan çareten, lehen egunetic oraindrano:

I thank my God, I say, for your cooperation in spreading the Good News, from the time it first came to you even 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 has begun a good work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation 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 I am justified in having this confidence about you all, because, both during my imprisonment and when I stand up in defence of the Good News or to confirm its truth, I have you in my heart, sharers as you all are in the same grace as myself.

8 Ecen Iaincoa dut testimonio cein cinez desiratzen çaituztedan çuec gucioc Iesus Christen affectione cordialez:

For God is my witness how I yearn over all of you with tender Christian affection.

9 Eta hunez othoiztez nago, çuen charitatea oraino guehiago eta guehiago abunda dadin eçagutzerequin eta iugemendu gucirequin:

And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing things that differ,

10 Gauça contrarioac discerni ditzaçuençát: pur eta trebucu gabe çaretençát Iesus Christen egunerano:

so that you may be men of transparent character, and may be blameless, in preparation for the day of Christ,

11 Iesus Christez Iaincoaren gloriatan eta laudoriotan diraden fructuz betheac çaretelaric.

being filled with these fruits of righteousness which come 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:

Now I would have you know, brethren, that what I have gone through has turned out to the furtherance of the Good News rather than otherwise.

13 Hambat non ene estecadurác famatu içan baitirade Christ Iaunean Pretorio gucian eta berce leku gucietan:

And thus it has become notorious among all the Imperial Guards, and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I am a prisoner;

14 Eta anayetaric anhitz gure Iaunean ene estecaduréz asseguraturic, ausartquiago hitzaz minçatzera hauçu baitirade.

and the greater part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord through my imprisonment, now speak of God's Message without fear, more boldly than ever.

15 Eta batzuc behinçát inuidiaz eta contentionez, eta bercéc vorondate onez-ere Christ predicatzen duté:

Some indeed actually preach Christ out of envy and contentiousness but there are also others who do it from good will.

16 Batzuc, diot, contentionez Christ denuntiatzen duté ez purqui, ene estecadurác afflictionez emendatu vstez:

These latter preach Him from love to me, knowing that I am here for the defence of the Good News;

17 Baina bercéc charitatez, daquitelaric ecen Euangelioaren defensionetan eçarri içan naicela.

while the others proclaim Him from motives of rivalry, and insincerely, supposing that by this they are embittering my imprisonment.

18 Cer bada? nola-ere baita, bada fictionez, bada eguiaz, Christ predicatzen da: eta hunetan alegueratzen naiz, eta alegueraturen-ere.

What does it matter, however? In any case Christ is preached--either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

19 Ceren baitaquit, ecen haur ethorriren çaitadala saluamendutara çuen orationéz, eta Iesus Cristen Spirituaren aiutáz,

For I know that it will result in my salvation through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

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.

in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope that I shall never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, either by my life or by my death.

21 Ecen niri Christ irabaizte çait vicitzera eta hiltzera.

For, with me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

22 Ala haraguian vicitzera probetchu dudanez, eta cer hauta deçaquedan, eztaquit.

But since to live means a longer stay on earth, that implies more labour for me--and not unsuccessful labour; and which I am to choose I cannot tell.

23 Ecen hertsen naiz alde bietaric, desir dudalaric partitzera eta Christequin içatera: ecen haur vnguiz hobeago dut:

I am in a dilemma, my earnest desire being to depart and be with Christ, for that is far, far better.

24 Baina haraguian egon nadin necessarioago da çuengatic.

But for your sakes it is more important that I should still remain in the body.

25 Eta haur seguratuqui badaquit, ecen egonen naicela eta perseueraturen dudala çuequin gucioquin çuen auançamendutan, eta çuen fedearen bozcariotan.

I am convinced of this, and I know that I shall remain, and shall go on working side by side with 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, as Christians, you may have additional reason for glorying about me as the result of my being with you again.

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:

Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of the Good News.

28 Cein baita hayén perditionetaco seignale, eta çuen saluamendutaco, eta haur Iaincoaganic.

Never for a moment quail before your antagonists. Your fearlessness will be to them a sure token of impending destruction, but to you it will be a sure token of your salvation--a token coming from God.

29 Ecen çuey eman içan çaiçue Christgatic, ez solament hura baithan sinhestea, baina harengatic suffritzea-ere:

For you have had the privilege granted you on behalf of Christ--not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf;

30 Nitan ikussi duçuen, eta orain ençuten duçuen combat bera duçuela.

maintaining, as you do, the same kind of conflict that you once saw in me and which you still hear that I am engaged in.
