Erromatarrei 13
1 Persona gucia potestate goragoén suiet biz, ecen ezta potestateric Iaincoaganic baicen: eta diraden potestateac, Iaincoaz ordenatuac dirade.
Let every soul submit to the governing authorities, because there is no authority except under God, and the existing authorities have been placed by God.
2 Halacotz, potestateari resistitzen draucanac, Iaincoaren ordenançari resistitzen drauca: eta resistitzen dutenéc, bere buruén gainera damnatione erekarriren duté.
Therefore whoever resists the authority is opposed to God's ordinance, and those who oppose will bring judgment on themselves.
3 Ecen magistratuac eztirade icigarri, obra onacgatic, baina gaichtoagatic. Bada nahi duc potestatearen beldur ez içan? eguic vngui, eta recebituren duc laudorio harenganic.
Now rulers are not a terror to good deeds but to bad ones. So if you wish not to fear the authority, do the good and you will have praise from the same;
4 Ecen Iaincoaren cerbitzari duc hire onetacotz: baina gaizquiric badaguic, aicén beldur: ecen eztic causa gabe ezpatá ekarten: ecen Iaincoaren cerbitzari duc, mendecari hiratan, gaizqui eguiten duenaren gainean.
because it is God's minister to you with a view to the good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not bear the sword for nothing; because it is God's minister, an avenger with a view to wrath on the wrongdoer.
5 Harren behar da içan suiect ez hiragatic solament, baina conscientiagatic-ere.
Therefore it is necessary to submit, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience.
6 Ecen halacotz tributac-ere pagatzen dituçue: ecen Iaincoaren ministre dirade, hunetara berera emplegatzen diradela.
This is precisely why you pay taxes, for they are God's servants, continually attending on this very thing.
7 Renda ieceçue bada guciey çor draueçuena: nori tributa, tributa: nori peagea, peagea: nori beldurra, beldurra: nori ohorea, ohorea.
Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes, customs to whom customs, respect to whom respect, honor to whom honor.
8 Etzaretela nehorengana deusez çordun: elkarri on daritzoçuen baicen: ecen berceri on daritzanac, Leguea complitu du.
Owe no one anything except to love one another, since he who loves the other has fulfilled the law.
9 Ecen haur, Ezaiz adultero içanen, Eztuc hilen, Eztuc ebatsiren, Eztuc falsu testimoniageric erranen, Eztuc guthiciaturen: eta baldin cembeit berce manamenduric bada, hitz hunetan sommarioqui comprehenditzen da, Onhetsiren duc eure hurcoa eure burua beçala.
Because—“You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever further commandment—everything is summed up in this word, namely: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Charitateac hurcoari gaizquiric eztrauca eguiten. Beraz Leguearen complimendua, charitatea da.
Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
11 Principalqui ikussiric sasoina, ecen ia ordu dela lotaric iratzar gaitecen: ecen orain hurbilago daucu saluamendua, ecen ez sinhetsi vkan dugunean.
Besides this, knowing the time, it is high time for us to be awakened from sleep, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
12 Gauä iragan da eta eguna hurbildu. Iraitz ditzagun bada ilhumbearen obrác, eta vezti gaitecen arguiari dagocan abillamenduz.
The night is nearly over, and the day is near; so let us get rid of the works of the darkness, and let us put on the weapons of the light.
13 Egunáz anco honestqui ebil gaitecen: ez gormandicetan eta hordiquerietan, ez ohatzetan eta insolentietan, ez gudutan eta inuidiatan.
Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual orgies and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy.
14 Baina vezti çaiteztez Iesus Christ Iaunaz, eta haraguiaz artharic eztuçuela haren guthicién complitzeco.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, with a view to lusts.
