Erromatarrei 15

1 Eta behar ditugu fermu garenóc, infirmoén flaccatassunac supportatu, eta ez gure buruey complacitu.

As for us who are strong, our duty is to bear with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not seek our own pleasure.

2 Bada gutaric batbederac complaci beça bere hurcoa vnguira edificationetan.

Let each of us endeavour to please his fellow Christian, aiming at a blessing calculated to build him up.

3 Ecen Christec-ere eztu bere buruä complacitu nahi vkan, baina, scribatua den beçala, Hiri iniuria erraiten drauèanén iniuriác ene gainera erori içan dituc.

For even the Christ did not seek His own pleasure. His principle was, "The reproaches which they addressed to Thee have fallen on me."

4 Ecen aitzinetic scribatu diraden gauça guciac, gure doctrinatan scribatu içan dirade, Scripturetaco patientiaz eta consolationez sperança dugunçát.

For all that was written of old has been written for our instruction, so that we may always have hope through the power of endurance and the encouragement which the Scriptures afford.

5 Bada patientiataco eta consolationetaco Iaincoac diçuela elkarren artean gauça ber baten pensatzeco gratia Iesus Christen araura:

And may God, the giver of power of endurance and of that encouragement, grant you to be in full sympathy with one another in accordance with the example of Christ Jesus,

6 Gogo batez eta aho batez glorifica deçaçuençát Iaincoa, cein baita Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren Aita.

so that with oneness both of heart and voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Halacotz recebi eçaçue elkar, Christec-ere gu recebitu gaituen beçala Iaincoaren gloriatan.

Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God.

8 Bada erraiten dut, Iesus Christ circonsionearen ministre içan dela, Iaincoaren eguiagatic, Aitey eguin çaizten promessac confirma litzançát:

My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness-- in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers--

9 Eta Gentiléc Iaincoa bere misericordiagatic glorifica deçaten: scribatua den beçala, Halacotz laudorio emanen drauat hiri Gentilén artean, eta hire icenari cantaturen diarocát.

and that the Gentiles also have glorified God in acknowledgment of His mercy. So it is written, "For this reason I will praise Thee among the Gentiles, and sing psalms in honour of Thy name."

10 Eta berriz dio, Aleguera çaiteztez Gentilác haren populuarequin.

And again the Psalmist says, "Be glad, ye Gentiles, in company with His People."

11 Eta berriz, Lauda eçaçue Iauna Gentil guciéc eta elkarrequin lauda eçaçue hura populu guciéc.

And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and let all the people extol Him."

12 Eta berriz Esaiasec erraiten du, Içanen da Iesserenic çain-bat, eta, Gentilén gobernatzera altchaturen den-bat: Gentiléc hartan sperança vkanen duté.

And again Isaiah says, "There shall be the Root of Jesse and One who rises up to rule the Gentiles. On Him shall the Gentiles build their hopes."

13 Sperançazco Iaincoac bada compli çaitzatela bozcario guciaz eta baquez sinhetsiz, sperançaz abundos çaretençát Spiritu sainduaren verthutez.

May God, the giver of hope, fill you with continual joy and peace because you trust in Him--so that you may have abundant hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 Bada segur naiz, ene anayeác, ni neuror-ere çueçaz, ecen çuec cueróc ontassunez betheac çaretela, eçagutze guciaz betheric: etare elkar admonesta ahal baiteçaqueçue.

But as to you, brethren, I am convinced-- yes, I Paul am convinced--that, even apart from my teaching, you are already full of goodness of heart, and enriched with complete Christian knowledge, and are also competent to instruct one another.

15 Eta, anayeác, ausartquichiago scribatu drauçuet partez, çuec orhoit eraciten bacintuztét beçala, Iaincoaz niri eman içan çaitadan gratiagatic,

But I write to you the more boldly--partly as reminding you of what you already know--because of the authority graciously entrusted to me by God,

16 Iesus Christen ministre naicençát Gentilac baithan, emplegatzen naicela Iaincoaren Euangelio sainduan, Gentilén oblationea placént dençát, Spiritu sainduaz sanctificaturic.

that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, doing priestly duties in connexion with God's Good News so that the sacrifice--namely the Gentiles--may be acceptable to Him, being (as it is) an offering which the Holy Spirit has made holy.

17 Badut beraz cerçaz gloria nadin Iesus Christez, Iaincoazco gaucetan.

I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged.

18 Ecen ez ninçande, Christec niçaz eguin eztuen gauçaren erraitera ausart, Gentilén obedientiatara erekarteco, hitzez eta eguinez:

For I will not presume to mention any of the results that Christ has brought about by other agency than mine in securing the obedience of the Gentiles by word or deed,

19 Signoén eta miraculuén verthutez, Iaincoaren Spirituaren verthutez: hambat non Ierusalemetic eta aldirietaric Illyriquerano abunda eraci vkan baitut Christen Euangelioa:

with power manifested in signs and marvels, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. But--to speak simply of my own labours--beginning in Jerusalem and the outlying districts, I have proclaimed without reserve, even as far as Illyricum, the Good News of the Christ;

20 Hala Euangelioaren predicatzen enseyatzen nincela, ez Christ aippatu içan cen lekutan, berceren fundament gainean edifica ezneçançát.

making it my ambition, however, not to tell the Good News where Christ's name was already known, for fear I should be building on another man's foundation.

21 Baina scribatua den beçala, Harçaz denuntiatu içan etzayenéc, ilkussiren duté: eta ençun eztutenéc, adituren duté.

But, as Scripture says, "Those shall see, to whom no report about Him has hitherto come, and those who until now have not heard shall understand."

22 Eta halacotz empatchatu içan naiz anhitzetan ethortera çuetara.

And it is really this which has again and again prevented my coming to you.

23 Baina orain guehiago lekuric comarca hautan eztudanaz gueroz, eta ia anhitz vrthez gueroztic çuetara ethortera desir dudanaren gainean:

But now, as there is no more unoccupied ground in this part of the world, and I have for years past been eager to pay you a visit,

24 Parti nadinean Espaigniarát, ethorriren naiz çuetara: ecen sperança dut iragaitean ikussiren çaituztedala, eta çueçaz hara guidaturen naicela: baldin lehen çuequin içatez sasituche banaiz.

I hope, as soon as ever I extend my travels into Spain, to see you on my way and be helped forward by you on my journey, when I have first enjoyed being with you for a time.

25 Bada orain banoa Ierusalemerát, sainduey administratzera.

But at present I am going to Jerusalem to serve God's people,

26 Ecen Macedoniacoén eta Achaiacoén placera içan da Ierusalemen diraden sainduetaco paubrey cerbaiten partitzera.

for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem.

27 Ecen hala placer vkan duté, eta çordun-ere badirade hetara: ecen baldin hayén on spiritualetan participant içan badirade Gentilac, hec-ere carnaléz den becembatean aiutatu behar dituzté.

Yes, they have kindly done this, and, in fact, it was a debt they owed them. For seeing that the Gentiles have been admitted in to partnership with the Jews in their spiritual blessings, they in turn are under an obligation to render sacred service to the Jews in temporal things.

28 Bada haur acabatu duquedanean eta hæy fructu haur consignatu drauqueedanean, Espaigniarát ioanen naiçate çuec baitharic.

So after discharging this duty, and making sure that these kind gifts reach those for whom they are intended, I shall start for Spain, passing through Rome on my way there;

29 Eta badaquit ecen çuetara ethor nadinean, Christen Euangelioco benedictionearen abundantiarequin ethorriren naicela.

and I know that when I come to you it will be with a vast amount of blessing from Christ.

30 Halaber anayeác, othoitz eguiten drauçuet Iesus Christ gure Iaunaz, eta Spirituaren charitateaz, enequin emplega çaitezten, enegatic Iaincoari eguinen drautzaçuen othoitzéz:

But I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love which His Spirit inspires, to help me by wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf,

31 Iudean diraden desobedientetaric deliura nadinçát, eta Ierusalemen eguiteco dudan administratione haur, sainduén gogaraco dençát:

asking that I may escape unhurt from those in Judaea who are disobedient, and that the service which I am going to Jerusalem to render may be well received by the Church there,

32 Iaincoaren vorondatez çuetara bozcariorequin ethor nadinçát, eta çuequin batean recrea nadinçát.

in order that if God be willing I may come to you with a glad heart, and may enjoy a time of rest with you.

33 Bada baquezco Iaincoa dela çuequin gucioquin, Amen.

May God, who gives peace be with you all! Amen.
