¹For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,

¹Ecen ceuroc badaquiçue, anayeác, gure çuec baitharaco sartzea nola eztén vano içan:

²but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

²Baina are, daquiçuen beçala, lehenetic affligitu eta iniuriatu içan baguinen-ere Philippesen, hardieça hartu vkan dugu gure Iaincoan, çuey Iaincoaren Euangelioaren predicatzera combat handirequin.

³For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.

³Ecen gure exhortationea ezta abusionez, ez vileniaz, ez enganiorequin içan:

⁴But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

⁴Baina 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.

⁵For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),

⁵Ecen behinere lausenguzco hitzez eztugu vsatu vkan, daquiçuen beçala: ezeta auaritiataco occasionez: Iaincoa da testimonio.

⁶nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

⁶Eta guiçonetaric eztugu gloriaric bilhatu vkan, ezeta çuetaric, ez bercetaric, grauitate eduqui ahal guenduqueelaric, Christen Apostolu beçala.

⁷But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

⁷Baina içan gara eme çuen artean, vnhide batec bere haourrac delicatuqui hatzen balitu beçala.

⁸Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.

⁸Hunela çuetara affectionatuac guinelaric, desir guenduen çuey partitzera ez solament Iaincoaren Euangelioa, baina gure arima propriac-ere, ceren guçaz onhetsiac baitzineten.

⁹For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.

⁹Ecen 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.

¹⁰You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.

¹⁰Çuec testimonio çarete eta Iaincoa, nola sainduqui eta iustoqui, eta reprotchu gabe çuen, sinhetsi duçuenón artean conuersatu vkan dugun.

¹¹As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,

¹¹Daquiçuen beçala, nola çuetaric batbedera, aitác bere haourrac beçala, auertitzen guenduen.

¹²to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

¹²Eta consolatzen eta requeritzen, ebil cindeizten bere resumara eta gloriara deitzen çaituzten Iaincoari dagocan beçala.

¹³For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

¹³Halacotz 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.

¹⁴For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews;

¹⁴Ecen 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:

¹⁵who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and didn’t please God, and are contrary to all men;

¹⁵Ceinéc Iesus Iauna-ere hil vkan baituté, eta berén Propheta propriac, gu-ere persecutatu vkan gaituzté, eta eztirade Iaincoaren gogaraco, eta guiçon gucién contrario dirade:

¹⁶forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

¹⁶Gu empatchatzen gaituztelaric Gentiley minçatzetic salua ditecençat, bethi compli ditzatençát bere bekatuac: ecen hetara heldu içan da hirá finerano.

¹⁷But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

¹⁷Eta gu, anayeác, çuetaric separaturic dembora appurbatetacotz ikustez, ez bihotzez, hambat cineçago emplegatu içan gara çuen beguithartearen ikustera, desir handirequin.

¹⁸because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.

¹⁸Halacotz ethorri nahi içan gara çuetara (ni Paul behinçát) behin eta berriz, baina empatchatu vkan gaitu Satanec.

¹⁹For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus TR adds “Christ” at his coming?

¹⁹Ecen ceric da gure sperançá, edo bozcarioa, edo gloriagarrico coroa? ala ez cuec-ere Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren aitzinean haren aduenimenduan ?

²⁰For you are our glory and our joy.

²⁰Segur çuec çarete gure gloriá eta bozcarioa.
