¹Persona gucia potestate goragoén suiet biz, ecen ezta potestateric Iaincoaganic baicen: eta diraden potestateac, Iaincoaz ordenatuac dirade.

¹Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above [him]. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God.

²Halacotz, potestateari resistitzen draucanac, Iaincoaren ordenançari resistitzen drauca: eta resistitzen dutenéc, bere buruén gainera damnatione erekarriren duté.

²So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who [thus] resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.

³Ecen magistratuac eztirade icigarri, obra onacgatic, baina gaichtoagatic. Bada nahi duc potestatearen beldur ez içan? eguic vngui, eta recebituren duc laudorio harenganic.

³For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil [one]. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise [what is] good, and thou shalt have praise from it;

⁴Ecen Iaincoaren cerbitzari duc hire onetacotz: baina gaizquiric badaguic, aicén beldur: ecen eztic causa gabe ezpatá ekarten: ecen Iaincoaren cerbitzari duc, mendecari hiratan, gaizqui eguiten duenaren gainean.

⁴for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.

⁵Harren behar da içan suiect ez hiragatic solament, baina conscientiagatic-ere.

⁵Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.

⁶Ecen halacotz tributac-ere pagatzen dituçue: ecen Iaincoaren ministre dirade, hunetara berera emplegatzen diradela.

⁶For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing.

⁷Renda ieceçue bada guciey çor draueçuena: nori tributa, tributa: nori peagea, peagea: nori beldurra, beldurra: nori ohorea, ohorea.

⁷Render to all their dues: to whom tribute [is due], tribute; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.

⁸Etzaretela nehorengana deusez çordun: elkarri on daritzoçuen baicen: ecen berceri on daritzanac, Leguea complitu du.

⁸Owe no one anything, unless to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.

⁹Ecen haur,Ezaiz adultero içanen, Eztuc hilen, Eztuc ebatsiren, Eztuc falsu testimoniageric erranen, Eztuc guthiciaturen: eta baldin cembeit berce manamenduric bada, hitz hunetan sommarioqui comprehenditzen da, Onhetsiren duc eure hurcoa eure burua beçala.

⁹For, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

¹⁰Charitateac hurcoari gaizquiric eztrauca eguiten. Beraz Leguearen complimendua, charitatea da.

¹⁰Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole law.

¹¹Principalqui ikussiric sasoina, ecen ia ordu dela lotaric iratzar gaitecen: ecen orain hurbilago daucu saluamendua, ecen ez sinhetsi vkan dugunean.

¹¹This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that *we* should be aroused out of sleep; for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.

¹²Gauä iragan da eta eguna hurbildu. Iraitz ditzagun bada ilhumbearen obrác, eta vezti gaitecen arguiari dagocan abillamenduz.

¹²The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

¹³Egunáz anco honestqui ebil gaitecen: ez gormandicetan eta hordiquerietan, ez ohatzetan eta insolentietan, ez gudutan eta inuidiatan.

¹³As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.

¹⁴Baina vezti çaiteztez Iesus Christ Iaunaz, eta haraguiaz artharic eztuçuela haren guthicién complitzeco.

¹⁴But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not take forethought for the flesh to [fulfil its] lusts.
