¹Eta scribatu drautaçuen gaucéz den becembatean, on da guiçonaren emazteric ez hunquitzea.

¹And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good [it is] for a man not to touch a woman,

²Baina paillardiçari ihes eguiteagatic, batbederac bere emaztea biu, eta batbederac bere senharra biu.

²and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;

³Emazteari senharrac çor draucan onheriztea renda bieçó: eta halaber emazteac-ere senharrari.

³to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband;

⁴Emazteac bere gorputza eztu bere bothereco: baina senharrac: eta halaber senharrac-ere bere gorputza eztu bere bothereco, baina emazteac.

⁴the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.

⁵Ezteçaçuela defrauda batac bercea cembeit demboratacotz consentimendu batez ezpada, baruretan eta orationetan emplega çaiteztençát: eta harçara elkargana itzul çaitezte, Satanec tenta etzaitzatençát çuen incontinentiagatic

⁵Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence;

⁶Baina haur erraiten dut permissionez, ez manamenduz.

⁶and this I say by way of concurrence — not of command,

⁷Ecen nahi nuque guiçon guciac liraden ni beçala: baina batbederac bere dohain propria du Iaincoaganic, batac hunela eta berceac hala.

⁷for I wish all men to be even as I myself [am]; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.

⁸Bada erraiten drauet ezcondu-gabey eta alharguney, on dela hayençat, baldin badaudez ni beçala.

⁸And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I [am];

⁹Baina baldin continent ezpadirade, ezcon bitez: ecen hobe da ezconcea ecen ez erre içatea.

⁹and if they have not continence — let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;

¹⁰Eta ezconduey denuntiatzen drauet, ez nic baina Iaunac, Emaztea senharraganic eztadin parti.

¹⁰and to the married I announce — not I, but the Lord — let not a wife separate from a husband:

¹¹Eta baldin parti badadi bego ezcondu gabe, edo senharrari reconcilia bequió: senharrac-ere emaztea ezteçala vtzi.

¹¹but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife.

¹²Baina bercey nic erraiten drauet, ez Iaunac, Baldin cembeit anayec emazte infidela badu, eta emazteac consentitzen badu harequin habitatzera, ezteçan hura vtzi.

¹²And to the rest I speak — not the Lord — if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away;

¹³Eta baldin cembeit emaztec senhar infidela badu, eta senharrac consentitzen badu harequin habitatzera, ezteçan hura vtzi.

¹³and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away;

¹⁴Ecen sanctificatu da senhar infidela emazteaz, eta sanctificatu da emazte infidela senharraz: bercela çuen haourrac satsu lirateque: baina orain saindu dirade.

¹⁴for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

¹⁵Eta baldin infidela partitzen bada, parti dadin ecen ezta suiet anayea edo arrebá halaco gaucetan: baina baquera deithu gaithu Iaincoac.

¹⁵And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself — let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such [cases], and in peace hath God called us;

¹⁶Ecen cer daquin emazteá, eya senharra saluaturen dunanez? edo cer daquic senharrá, eya emaztea saluaturen duanez?

¹⁶for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save?

¹⁷Baina nola batbederari dohaina partitu baitrauca Iaincoac, nola batbedera deithu baitu Iaunac, hala ebil bedi: eta hunela Eliça gucietan ordenatzen dut.

¹⁷if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each — so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct:

¹⁸Circoncidituric norbeit deithu içan da? ezterakarran preputioa: preputioan norbeit deithu içan da? eztadila circoncidi.

¹⁸being circumcised — was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised;

¹⁹Circoncisionea ezta deus, eta preputioa ezta deus: baina Iaincoaren manamenduén beguiratzea.

¹⁹the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing — but a keeping of the commands of God.

²⁰Batbedera cer vocationetan deithu içan baita hartan bego.

²⁰Each in the calling in which he was called — in this let him remain;

²¹Sclabo deithu aiz? eztuála arranguraric: baina baldin are libre eguin ahal bahadi, harçaz lehen vsat eçac.

²¹a servant — wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free — use [it] rather;

²²Ecen Iaunean deithu içan den sclaboa, Iaunaren libre da: eta halaber libre dethua, Christen sclabo da.

²²for he who [is] in the Lord — having been called a servant — is the Lord`s freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ:

²³Precioz erossiac çareté, etzaretela guiçonén sclabo.

²³with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men;

²⁴Batbedera certan deithu içan baita, anayeác, hartan bego Iaincoa baithan.

²⁴each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

²⁵Eta virginéz den becembatean Iaunaren manamenduric eztut: baina coseillu emaiten drauçuet, Iaunaganic fidel içatera misericordia vkan dudanac beçala.

²⁵And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful:

²⁶Estimatzen dut bada haour on dela presenteco necessitateagatic, ecen on dela guiçonarendaco hunela içatea.

²⁶I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man that the matter be thus: —

²⁷Emazterequin lothua aiz? ezteçála bilha separationeric: emazteaganic lachatu aiz? ezteçála bilha emazteric.

²⁷Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

²⁸Bada baldin ezcon bahadi-ere, eztuc bekaturic eguin: eta baldin ezcon badadi virginá, eztu bekaturic eguin: baina halacoéc tribulatione vkanen duté haraguian: baina nic guppida çaituztet.

²⁸But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you.

²⁹Baina haur erraiten drauçuet, anayeác, ecen demborá labur dela hemendic harát, emaztedunac-ere, emazteric ezpalute beçala diraden:

²⁹And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened — that both those having wives may be as not having;

³⁰Eta nigarrez daudenac, nigarrez ezpalaude beçala: eta aleguera diradenac, aleguera ezpalirade beçala: eta erosten dutenac, posseditzen ezpaluté beçala:

³⁰and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;

³¹Eta mundu hunez vsatzen dutenac, vsatzen ezpaluté beçala: ecen mundu hunen figurá iragan doa.

³¹and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for passing away is the fashion of this world.

³²Eta nahi nuque çuec arrangura gabe cineten. Emazte gabe denac, artha du Iaunaren gaucéz, nolatan Iaunaren gogaraco daten:

³²And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;

³³Baina emaztedunac, artha du munduco gaucéz, nolatan emaztearen gogaraco daten.

³³and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.

³⁴Diuers dirade emazte ezcondua eta virginá: emazte ezcondu gabeac, artha du Iaunaren diraden gaucéz, gorputzez eta spirituz sainda dençát: baina emazte ezconduac, artha du munduco gaucéz, nolatan senharraren gogaraco daten.

³⁴The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.

³⁵Eta haur çuen probetchutan erraiten dut, ez laçoa eçar dieçaçuedençát: baina carazqui eta moldez Iaunari iuncta çaquizquiotençát empatchuric batre gabe.

³⁵And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly,

³⁶Baina baldin edoceinec vste badu ecen desohore duela haren virginác bere adin florea iragan deçan, eta hala eguin behar dela: nahi duena begui, eztu bekaturic eguiten: ezcon bitez.

³⁶and if any one doth think [it] to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin — let him marry.

³⁷Baina bere bihotzean fermu dagoenac, necessitateric eztuela, baina du bere vorondate propriaren gainean puissança, eta haur deliberatu bere bihotzean, bere virginaren beguiratzera, vngui eguiten du.

³⁷And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart — not having necessity — and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart — to keep his own virgin — doth well;

³⁸Bada, bere virginá ezconcen duenac, vngui eguiten du: baina ezconcen eztuenac, hobequi eguiten du.

³⁸so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he who is not giving in marriage doth better.

³⁹Emaztea lothua da legueaz haren senharra vici den dembora gucian: baina haren senharra hil badadi, libre da norequin nahi den ezconceco, solament gure Iaunean.

³⁹A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will — only in the Lord;

⁴⁰Baina dohatsuago da baldin hala badago, ene conseilluaren araura: eta estimatzen dut nic-ere Iaincoaren Spiritua badudala.

⁴⁰and she is happier if she may so remain — according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God.
