1 Tesalonikarrei 2
1 Ecen ceuroc badaquiçue, anayeác, gure çuec baitharaco sartzea nola eztén vano içan:
Now you yourselves know, brothers, that our entrance to you did not happen without purpose.
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.
Rather, in spite of having already suffered and been insulted in Philippi, as you know, we made bold in our God to speak to you the Gospel of God, in the face of strong opposition.
3 Ecen gure exhortationea ezta abusionez, ez vileniaz, ez enganiorequin içan:
Further, our exhortation does not spring from delusion or impurity, nor is it in deception,
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.
but we speak precisely as those who have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Gospel, not so as to please men, but to please the God who evaluates our hearts.
5 Ecen behinere lausenguzco hitzez eztugu vsatu vkan, daquiçuen beçala: ezeta auaritiataco occasionez: Iaincoa da testimonio.
Further, you well know that we never used words to flatter, or to disguise greed (God is witness),
6 Eta guiçonetaric eztugu gloriaric bilhatu vkan, ezeta çuetaric, ez bercetaric, grauitate eduqui ahal guenduqueelaric, Christen Apostolu beçala.
or to seek glory from men (whether from you or from others)—as apostles of Christ we could have been ‘heavy’,
7 Baina içan gara eme çuen artean, vnhide batec bere haourrac delicatuqui hatzen balitu beçala.
but we were gentle among you, like a nurse cherishing her own children.
8 Hunela çuetara affectionatuac guinelaric, desir guenduen çuey partitzera ez solament Iaincoaren Euangelioa, baina gure arima propriac-ere, ceren guçaz onhetsiac baitzineten.
Yearning over you in this way, we were well pleased to share with you not only the Gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become dear 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 remember, brothers, our toil and exertion, because working night and day, so as not to burden any of you, we proclaimed the Gospel of God to you.
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, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;
11 Daquiçuen beçala, nola çuetaric batbedera, aitác bere haourrac beçala, auertitzen guenduen.
indeed, you know how we treated each one of you as a father does his own children, exhorting and comforting you,
12 Eta consolatzen eta requeritzen, ebil cindeizten bere resumara eta gloriara deitzen çaituzten Iaincoari dagocan beçala.
insisting that you conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the 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.
Another reason we give thanks to God continually is that when you received from us the spoken Word of God, you welcomed it not as the word of men but, as it actually is, the Word of God, which is indeed operative 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 God's congregations in Christ Jesus, the ones in Judea, in that you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen that they did 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:
(the ones who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, who have persecuted us, who do not please God and are hostile to everybody,
16 Gu empatchatzen gaituztelaric Gentiley minçatzetic salua ditecençat, bethi compli ditzatençát bere bekatuac: ecen hetara heldu içan da hirá finerano.
trying to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved—so as to fill up the measure of their sins. They have received the full impact of the Wrath).
17 Eta gu, anayeác, çuetaric separaturic dembora appurbatetacotz ikustez, ez bihotzez, hambat cineçago emplegatu içan gara çuen beguithartearen ikustera, desir handirequin.
Now we, brothers, having been bereaved of you for a short season (in presence, not in heart), made every effort to see your face, from intense longing.
18 Halacotz ethorri nahi içan gara çuetara (ni Paul behinçát) behin eta berriz, baina empatchatu vkan gaitu Satanec.
(We actually tried to come to you—I, Paul, time and again—but Satan thwarted us.)
19 Ecen ceric da gure sperançá, edo bozcarioa, edo gloriagarrico coroa? ala ez cuec-ere Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren aitzinean haren aduenimenduan?
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Is it not precisely you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
20 Segur çuec çarete gure gloriá eta bozcarioa.
Indeed, you are our glory and our joy.
