1 Timoteori 3
1 Hitz segura duc haur, Baldin nehorc, Ipizpicu içatera desiratzen badu, obra excellentbat desiratzen dic:
A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 Baina behar dic Ipizpicuac içan irreprehensible, emazte bakoitz baten senhar, vigilant, sobre, modest, estrangerén ostatuz gogotic recebiçale, iracasteco carazco:
It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,
3 Ez mahatsarnoari emana, ez vkaldicari, ez irabaizte deshonestaren guthicioso, baina benigno, ez reuoltari, ez auaritioso:
Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
4 Bere familia honestqui gobernatzen duelaric, bere haourrac suiectionetan eduquiten dituelaric honestate gucirequin:
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
5 (Ecen baldin edoceinec bere etchearen gobernatzen ezpadaqui, nolatan Iaincoaren Eliçari gogoa emanen drauca?)
But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
6 Ez apprendiz berri, vrguluz hanturic deabruaren condemnationera eror eztadinçát.
Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
7 Behar dic are harc duen testimoniage ona campocoetaric-ere: reprotchutara eta deabruen laçora eror eztadinçát.
Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8 Diacréc halaber behar die içan honest, ez bi hitzetaco, ez mahatsarno anhitzari emanac, ez irabaizte deshonestaren guthicioso:
Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:
9 Eduquiten dutelaric fedearen mysterioa conscientia chahurequin.
Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
10 Eta hec-ere phoroga ditecen lehen, guero cerbitza deçaten, baldin reprotchu gabetaco badirade.
And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.
11 Halaber hayén emazteac diraden honest, ez gaitzerraile, baina sobre, leyal gauça gucietan.
The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
12 Diacreac diraden emazte bederaren senhar, gobernatzen dituztelaric honestqui bere haourrac eta bere etcheac.
Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.
13 Ecen vngui cerbitzatu duqueitenéc grado ona acquisitzen dié beretzat, eta libertate handia Iesus Christ baithango fedean.
For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Gauça hauc scribatzen drauzquiat, sperança dudalaric ecen sarri hiregana ethorriren naicela:
These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.
15 Eta baldin berancen badut, daquiançát nola behar den Iaincoaren etchean conuersatu, cein baita Iainco viciaren Eliçá, eguiaren habea eta sustenguä.
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 Eta duda gabe, handi duc pietatearen mysterioa: ecen Iaincoa manifestatu içan dela haraguian, iustificatu dela Spirituan, ikussi içan dela Aingueruèz, predicatu içan çayela Gentiley, sinhetsi içan dela munduan, goiti recebitu içan dela gloriara.
And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.
