1 Tesalonikarrei 2
1 Ecen ceuroc badaquiçue, anayeác, gure çuec baitharaco sartzea nola eztén vano içan:
You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain.
2 Baina are, daquiçuen beçala, lehenetic affligitu eta iniuriatu içan baguinen-ere Philippesen, hardieça hartu vkan dugu gure Iaincoan, çuey Iaincoaren Euangelioaren predicatzera combat handirequin.
As you are aware, we had already endured suffering and shameful treatment in Philippi. But in the face of strong opposition, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God.
3 Ecen gure exhortationea ezta abusionez, ez vileniaz, ez enganiorequin içan:
For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.
4 Baina nola Iaincoaz approbatu içan baicara Euangelioaren predicationea eman lequigun, hala minçatzen gara, ez guiçonén gogara eguin nahi baguendu beçala, baina Iaincoaren, ceinec gure bihotzac approbatzen baititu.
Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.
5 Ecen behinere lausenguzco hitzez eztugu vsatu vkan, daquiçuen beçala: ezeta auaritiataco occasionez: Iaincoa da testimonio.
As you know, we never used words of flattery or any pretext for greed. God is our witness!
6 Eta guiçonetaric eztugu gloriaric bilhatu vkan, ezeta çuetaric, ez bercetaric, grauitate eduqui ahal guenduqueelaric, Christen Apostolu beçala.
Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.
7 Baina içan gara eme çuen artean, vnhide batec bere haourrac delicatuqui hatzen balitu beçala.
On the contrary, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.
8 Hunela çuetara affectionatuac guinelaric, desir guenduen çuey partitzera ez solament Iaincoaren Euangelioa, baina gure arima propriac-ere, ceren guçaz onhetsiac baitzineten.
We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.
9 Ecen orhoit çarete, anayeác, gure trabailluaz eta nequeaz: ecen gau eta egun languiten ari guinela, çuetaric nehoren phorogu ezguinençát, predicatu vkan dugu çuec baithan Iaincoaren Euangelioa.
Surely you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
10 Çuec testimonio çarete eta Iaincoa, nola sainduqui eta iustoqui, eta reprotchu gabe çuen, sinhetsi duçuenón artean conuersatu vkan dugun.
You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.
11 Daquiçuen beçala, nola çuetaric batbedera, aitác bere haourrac beçala, auertitzen guenduen.
For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children—
12 Eta consolatzen eta requeritzen, ebil cindeizten bere resumara eta gloriara deitzen çaituzten Iaincoari dagocan beçala.
encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
13 Halacotz guc-ere esquerrac emaiten drauzquiogu Iaincoari paussuric gabe, ceren Iaincoaren hitzaren predicationea gureganic recebitu vkan duçuenean, recebitu vkan baituçue, ez guiçonén hitz beçala, baina (nola eguiazqui baita) Iaincoaren hitz beçala, ceinec obratzen-ere baitu çuetan sinhesten duçuenotan.
And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as the true word of God—the word which is now at work in you who believe.
14 Ecen çuec, anayeác, imitaçale eguin içan çarete Iaincoaren Eliça Iudean diradenén Iesus Christean, nola gauça berac suffritu vkan baitituçue çuec-ere çuen natione berecoetaric, hec-ere Iuduetaric beçala:
For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,
15 Ceinéc Iesus Iauna-ere hil vkan baituté, eta berén Propheta propriac, gu-ere persecutatu vkan gaituzté, eta eztirade Iaincoaren gogaraco, eta guiçon gucién contrario dirade:
who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,
16 Gu empatchatzen gaituztelaric Gentiley minçatzetic salua ditecençat, bethi compli ditzatençát bere bekatuac: ecen hetara heldu içan da hirá finerano.
hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.
17 Eta gu, anayeác, çuetaric separaturic dembora appurbatetacotz ikustez, ez bihotzez, hambat cineçago emplegatu içan gara çuen beguithartearen ikustera, desir handirequin.
Brothers, although we were torn away from you for a short time (in person, not in heart), our desire to see you face to face was even more intense.
18 Halacotz ethorri nahi içan gara çuetara (ni Paul behinçát) behin eta berriz, baina empatchatu vkan gaitu Satanec.
For we wanted to come to you—indeed I, Paul, tried again and again—but Satan obstructed us.
19 Ecen ceric da gure sperançá, edo bozcarioa, edo gloriagarrico coroa? ala ez cuec-ere Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren aitzinean haren aduenimenduan?
After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
20 Segur çuec çarete gure gloriá eta bozcarioa.
You are indeed our glory and our joy.
