1 Pedro 2
1 Beraz vtziric malitia gucia, eta enganio guciá, eta hypocrisiác, eta inuidiác, eta gaitzerraite guciac,
Now that you have done with all malice, all deceitfulness, insincerity, jealous feelings, and all backbiting,
2 Desira eçaçue, haour heuraguiric eztuela sorthuen ançora, adimenduzco eta enganio gabeco eznea, harçaz haz çaiteztençát.
like newly born infants, crave pure spiritual milk, so that you may be enabled by it to grow until you attain salvation –
3 Baldin dastatu baduçue ecen benigno dela Iauna.
since ‘you have found by experience that the Lord is kind.’
4 Harengana hurbiltzen çaretelaric cein baita harri vicia, guiçonéz arbuyatua, baina Iaincoa baithan elegitua eta preciosoa.
Come to him, then, as to a living stone, rejected, indeed, by men, but in God’s eyes choice and precious;
5 Çuec-ere harri vici anço edifica çaitezte, etche spiritual, Sacrificadoregoa saindu, Iesus Christez Iaincoaren gogaraco sacrificio spiritual offrendatzeco.
and, as living stones, form yourselves into a spiritual house, to be a consecrated priesthood, for the offering of spiritual sacrifices that will be acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 Halacotz contenitzen-ere da Scripturán, Huná, eçarten dut Sionen, har cantoin principala, elegitua eta preciosoa: eta hartan sinhesten duena ezta confus içanen.
For there is a passage of scripture that runs – ‘See, I am placing in Zion a choice and precious cornerstone; and those who believe in him will have no cause for shame.’
7 Hurá da bada ohore çuen sinhesten duçuenón: baina sinhesten eztutenen, harri edificaçaléc arbuyatu vkan dutena cantoineco principal eguin içan da, eta behaztopamendutaco harri, eta trebucamendutaco harri.
It is to you, then, who believe in him that he is precious, but to those who do not believe he is ‘a stone which, though rejected by the builders, has now itself become the corner-stone,’
8 Cein trebucatzen baitirade hitzaren contra desobedient diradelaric: hartaco ordenatu-ere dirade.
and ‘a stumbling-block, and a rock which will prove a hindrance.’ They stumble because they do not accept the message. This was the fate destined for them.
9 Baina çuec çarete generatione elegitua, Sacrificadoregoa reala, gende saindua, populu acquisitua: ilhumbetic bere miragarrizco arguira deithu vkan çaituztenaren verthuteac denuntia ditzaçuençát.
But you are ‘a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, God’s own people,’ entrusted with the proclamation of the goodness of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
10 Noizpait cinetenac ez populu, orain çarete Iaincoaren populu: çuec misericordia obtenitu etzendutenóc, orain misericordia obtenitu vkan duçue.
Once you were ‘not a people,’ but now you are ‘God’s people’; once you ‘had not found mercy,’ but now you ‘have found mercy.’
11 Maiteác, othoitz eguiten drauçuet, estrangeren eta bideazcoén ançora, beguira çaitezten haraguiaren guthicietaric, ceinéc guerla eguiten baitute arimén contra:
Dear friends, I beg you, as pilgrims and strangers on earth, to refrain from indulging the cravings of your earthly nature, for they make war on the soul.
12 Çuen conuersationea duçuelaric honest Gentillén artean çueçaz gaizquiguilez beçala minço diraden gaucetan, ikussi dituqueizten obra onetaric glorifica deçatençát Iaincoa visitationeco egunean.
Let your daily life among the Gentiles be so upright, that, whenever they malign you as evildoers, they may learn, as they watch, from the uprightness of your conduct, to praise God ‘at the time when he will visit them.’
13 Çareten bada suiet gobernamendu humano guciaren Iaunagatic: edo regueren, superioraren beçala:
Submit to all human institutions for the Lord’s sake, alike to the emperor as the supreme authority,
14 Edo gobernadorén, harçaz igorri içan diradenén beçala, gaizquiguilén mendequiotan eta vnguiguilén laudoriotan.
and to governors as sent by him to punish evildoers and to commend those who do right.
15 Ecen hunela da Iaincoaren vorondatea, vngui eguitez, guiçon erhoén ignorantiari ahoa boça dieçoçuen:
For God’s will is this – that you should silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right.
16 Libertatetan çaretenéc beçala, eta ez libertatea malitiaren estalquitan bacendute beçala, aitzitic Iaincoaren cerbitzariéc beçala.
Act as free people, yet not using your freedom as those do who make it a cloak for wickedness, but as Servants of God.
17 Guciac ohoraitzaçue: anayetassunari on eritzoçue. Çareten Iaincoaren beldur. Regue ohora eçaçue.
Show honor to everyone, love the Lord’s followers, ‘revere God, honor the emperor.’
18 Cerbitzariác, çareten beldur gucirequin nabussién suiet, ez solament onén eta humanoén, baina dorpén-ere.
Those of you who are domestic servants should always be submissive and respectful to their masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are arbitrary.
19 Ecen haur da gogaraco, baldin norbeitec Iaincoaganaco conscientiagatic fascheriaric suffritzen badu, iniustoqui suffritzen duelaric:
For this wins God’s approval when, because conscious of God’s presence, a person who is suffering unjustly bears their troubles patiently.
20 Ecen cer laudorio da, baldin falta eguinic buffetatzen çaretenean pairatzen baduçue? baina baldin vngui eguiten duçuelaric eta affligitzen çaretelaric pairatzen baduçue, haur da Iaincoaren gogaraco.
What credit can you claim when, after doing wrong, you take your punishment for it patiently? But, on the other hand, if, after doing right, you take your sufferings patiently, that does win the approval of God.
21 Ecen hunetacotzát deithu içan çarete: ecen Christec-ere suffritu vkan du guregatic, guri exemplu vtziten draucula, haren oin hatzey iarreiqui çaquiztençat:
For it was to this that you were called! For Christ, too, suffered – on your behalf – and left you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
22 Ceinec ezpaitu bekaturic eguin vkan, eta eceinere enganioric ezta eriden içan haren ahoan.
He ‘never sinned, nor was anything deceitful ever heard from his lips.’
23 Ceinec iniuriatzen cenean, ezpaitzuen iniuriatzen: gaizqui eguiten ceraucatenean, ezpaitzuen mehatchuric eguiten: baina remettitzen cen iustoqui iugeatzen duenagana.
He was abused, but he did not answer with abuse; he suffered, but he did not threaten; he entrusted himself to him whose judgments are just.
24 Ceinec gure bekatuac ekarri vkan baititu bere gorputzean çur gainean: bekatuey hilic, iustitiari vici guiaizquionçat: ceinen vkalduráz sendatu içan baitzarete.
And he ‘himself carried our sins’ in his own body to the cross, so that we might die to our sins, and live for righteousness. ‘His bruising was your healing.’
25 Ecen ardi errebelatuac beçala cineten, baina orain conuertitu içan çarete çuen arimén Artzainagana eta Ipizpicuagana.
Once you were straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
