Eginak 10
1 Eta guiçon-bat cen Cesarean, Cornelio deitzen cenic, Italiano deitzen cen bandaco centener,
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in the regiment known as the “Italian Regiment,”
2 Deuota, eta Iaincoaren beldurra çuena bere etche guciarequin. eta elemosyna anhitz eguiten ceraucana populuari, eta Iaincoari othoitz eguiten ceraucana ordinarioqui.
A religious man and one who reverenced God, with all his household. He was liberal in his charities to the people, and prayed to God constantly.
3 Harc ikus ceçan visionez claroqui egunaren bedratzi orenén inguruän, Iaincoaren Ainguerubat harengana ethorten cela, eta ciotsala. Cornelio
One afternoon, about three o’clock, he distinctly saw in a vision an angel from God come to him, and call him by name.
4 Eta harc beguiac harenganat chuchenduric eta icituric erran ceçan, Cer da Iauna? Eta erran cieçón, Hire orationeac eta elemosynác igan dituc memoriotan Iaincoaren aitzinera.
Cornelius fixed his eyes on him and, in great alarm, said, ‘What is it, Lord?’ ‘Your prayers and your charities,’ the angel answered, ‘have been an acceptable offering to God.
5 Orain bada igor itzac batzu Ioppera, eta erekar eçac Simon icen goiticoz Pierris deitzen dena.
And now, send messengers to Joppa and fetch a man called Simon, who is also known as Peter.
6 Hura duc ostatuz Simon larru appainçalebat baithan, ceinec baitu etchea itsas aldean: haic erranen drauc cer hic eguin behar duán.
He is lodging with a tanner named Simon, who has a house near the sea.’
7 Eta partitu cenean Corneliori minço çayón Aingueruä, dei citzan bere cerbitzarietaric biga, eta harequin ardura ciradenetaric hommedarmes deuotbat.
When the angel, who had spoken to him, had gone, Cornelius called two servants and a religious soldier, who was one of his constant attendants,
8 Eta hæy gucia contatu cerauenean, igor citzan Ioppera.
and, after telling them the whole story, sent them to Joppa.
9 Biharamunean hec bidean cioacela, eta hirira hurbiltzen ciradela, igan cedin Pierris etche gainera othoitz eguitera sey orenén inguruän.
On the next day, while these men were on their way, just as they were nearing the town, Peter went up on the housetop about midday to pray.
10 Eta guertha cedin, gossetu cenean, refectionea hartu nahi vkan baitzuen, eta appaincen ceraucatela eror cedin haren gainera spirituzco transportamendubat.
He became hungry and wanted something to eat; but while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance,
11 Eta ikus ceçan ceruä irequia, eta iausten çayola beregana vncibat, mihisse handibat beçala, laur cantoinetan lothua, lurrera iausten cela.
and saw that the heavens were open, and that something like a great sail was descending, let down by its four corners towards the earth.
12 Ceinetan baitzén lurreco animal laur oindun gucietaric, eta bassa bestietaric eta herrestez dabiltzanetaric, eta ceruco chorietaric.
In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and birds.
13 Eta ethor cedin harengana vozbat, Iaiqui adi Pierris, hil eçac eta ian eçac.
Then he was aware of a voice which said – ‘Stand up, Peter, kill something, and eat.’
14 Orduan dio Pierrisec, Ez Iauna: ecen egundano eztiát ian gauça communic edo satsuric.
‘No, Lord, I cannot,’ answered Peter, ‘for I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.’
15 Eta vozac berriz hari bigarren aldian erran cieçon, Iaincoac purificatu duena hic ezteçála communetan eduqui.
Again he was aware of a voice which said – ‘What God has pronounced clean, do not regard as defiled.’
16 Eta haur eguin cedin hirur aldiz: guero harçara retira cedin vncia cerurát.
This happened three times, and then suddenly it was all taken up into the heavens.
17 Eta Pierrisec bere baithan dudatzen çuen beçala ceric licén ikussi çuen visionea, huná, Cornelioz igorri içan ciraden guiçonac, Simonen etchea galde eguinic ethor citecen borthara.
While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon’s house, came up to the gate,
18 Eta cembeit deithuric, galde eguin ceçaten eya Simon icen goiticoz Pierris deitzen cena han cenez ostatuz,
and called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.
19 Eta Pierris gogueta cegoela visioneaz, erran cieçón Spirituac, Huná, hirur guiçon hire galdez diaudec.
Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, ‘There are two men looking for you at this moment.
20 Iaiquiric bada iautsi adi eta habil hequin deus dudatu gabe: ecen nic igorri citiát.
Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.’
21 Pierrisec bada iautsiric Cornelioz harengana igorri içan ciraden guiçonetara, erran ceçan, Huná, ni naiz çuec galdez çaudetena: cer da causá ceinagatic hemen baitzarete?
Peter went down to the men and said, ‘I am the person you are looking for. What is your reason for coming?’
22 Eta hec erran ceçaten, Cornelio centenera, guiçon iustoa eta Iaincoaren beldurra duena, eta Iuduén natione guciaz testimoniage duena, diuinoqui Aingueru saindu batez aduertitu içan duc erekar ençan hi bere etchera, eta minçatzen ençun ençan.
The men replied, ‘Our centurion, Cornelius, a pious man who reverences God and is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, has been instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to listen to what you have to say.’
23 Barnera deithuric bada recebi citzan hec ostatuz eta biharamunean Pierris ioan cedin hequin, eta Ioppeco anayetaric batzuc compainia eguin cieçoten.
So Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he lost no time in setting out with them, accompanied by some of the Lord’s followers from Joppa;
24 Eta biharamunean sar citecen Cesarean. Eta Cornelio hayén beguira cegoen, bere ahideac eta adisquide familiarac deithuric.
and the day following he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them, and had invited his relatives and intimate friends to meet them.
25 Eta guertha cedin Pierris sartzen cen beçala, Cornelio aitzinera ilki baitzequión, eta bere buruä haren oinetara egotziric, adora ceçan.
So, when Peter entered the city, Cornelius met him, and, throwing himself at Peter’s feet, bowed to the ground.
26 Baina Pierrisec goiti ceçan hura, cioela, Iaiqui adi neuror-ere guiçon nauc.
Peter, however, lifted him up, saying as he did so, ‘Stand up, I am only human like yourself.’
27 Eta harequin minço cela sar cedin, eta eriden ceçan anhitz gende hara bilduric:
Talking with him as he went, Peter entered the house, where he found a large gathering of people, to whom he said,
28 Eta erran ciecén, Çuec badaquiçue eztela permettitzen guiçon Iudubat iuncta edo hurbil daquión estranger bati: baina niri eracutsi draut Iaincoac guiçonic batre commun edo satsu ezteçadan erran.
‘You are doubtless aware that it is forbidden for a Jew to be intimate with a foreigner, or even to enter his house; and yet God has shown me that I ought not to call anyone defiled or unclean.
29 Eta halacotz duda gabe ethorri içan naiz deithuric. Galdez nauçue bada cer causaz ni erekarri nauçuen.
That was why I came, when I was sent for, without raising any objection. And now I ask your reason for sending for me.’
30 Orduan Cornelioc dio, Laur egun dic ordu hunetarano bainincen barur, eta bedratzi orenetan niangoán, othoizte eguiten neure etchean: eta huná, guiçombat presenta ciedián ene aitzinean, arguitzen çuen veztiduratan:
‘Just three days ago this very hour,’ Cornelius said, ‘I was in my house, saying the Afternoon Prayers, when a man in dazzling clothing suddenly stood before me.
31 Eta erran cieçán, Cornelio, ençun içan duc hire orationea, eta hire elemosynác memoriotan dituc Iaincoaren aitzinean.
“Cornelius,” he said, “your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been accepted, by God.
32 Igorrac bada Ioppera, eta dei eraci eçac Simon icen goiticoz Pierris deitzen dena: hura duc ostatuz Simon larru appainçalearen etchean itsas aldean: hura dathorrenean minçaturen çaic hiri
Therefore send to Joppa, and invite the Simon, who is also known as Peter, to come here. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea.”
33 Halacotz bertan hiregana igorri diat, eta hic vngui eguin duc ceren ethorri aicén. Orain bada gu gucioc gaituc hemen Iaincoaren aitzinean Iaincoaz manatu içan çaizquián gauça guciac ençun ditzagunçát.
Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.’
34 Orduan irequiric Pierrisec bere ahoa, erran ceçan, Eguiaz erideiten dut ecen Iaincoa eztagoela personén apparentiara beha.
Then Peter began. ‘I see, beyond all doubt,’ he said, ‘that God does not show partiality,
35 Baina natione gucietan hari beldur çayona, eta iustitia eguiten duena, dela haren gogaraco.
but that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
36 Gauça haur igorri vkan draue Iaincoac Israeleco haourrey, denuntiatzen çuelaric baquea Iesus Christez, cein baita gucién Iauna.
God has sent his message to the Israelites and told them, through Jesus Christ, the good news of peace – and Jesus is Lord of all!
37 Çuec badaquiçue cer eguin içan den Iudea gucian, hassiric Galilean, Ioannesec predicatu vkan duen Baptismoaren ondoan:
You yourselves know the story which spread through all Judea, how, beginning form Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed –
38 Nola Iesus Nazareno vnctatu duen Iaincoac Spiritu sainduaz eta verthutez, cein ebili içan baita vngui eguiten çuela eta deabruaz tormentatu ciraden guciac sendatzen cituela: ecen Iaincoa cen harequin
the story, I mean, of Jesus of Nazareth, and how God consecrated him his Christ by enduing him with the Holy Spirit and with power; and how he went about doing good and curing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
39 Eta gu gara testimonio Iuduén eta Ierusalemeren comarcán eguin dituen gauça guciéz.
We are ourselves, too, witnesses to all that he did in Judea and in Jerusalem; yet they put him to death by hanging him on a cross!
40 Cein hil vkan baitute çurean vrkaturic, eta hura Iaincoac resuscitatu vkan du hereneco egunean, eta eman manifestatu içateco,
This Jesus God raised on the third day, and enabled him to appear,
41 Ez populu guciari, baina lehendanic Iaincoaz ordenatu ciraden testimonioey, guri diot ceinéc ian eta edan baitugu harequin hura hiletaric resuscitatu içan den ondoan.
not indeed to everyone, but to witnesses chosen beforehand by God – to us, who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.
42 Eta manatu gaitu predicatzera populuari eta testificatzera ecen hura dela vicién eta hilén iuge içateco Iaincoaz ordenatua.
Further, God charged us to proclaim to the people, and solemnly affirm, that it is Jesus who has been appointed by God judge of the living and the dead.
43 Huni Propheta guciec-ere testimoniage ekarten draucate, ecen haren icenean bekatuén barkamendua recebituren dutela hura baithan sinhetsiren duten guciéc.
To him it is that all the prophets bear witness, when they say that everyone who believes in him receives through his name forgiveness of sins.’
44 Oraino Pierrisec propos hauc eduquiten cituela, iauts cedin Spiritu saindua hitz haur ençuten çuten gucién gainera.
Before Peter had finished saying these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the message.
45 Eta mirets ceçaten Circoncisioneco fidel Pierrisequin ethorriéc, ceren Gentilén gainera-ere Spiritu sainduaren dohaina erautsi içan baitzen.
Those converts from Judaism, who had come with Peter, were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been bestowed even on the Gentiles;
46 Ecen ençuten cituzten hec lengoagez minçatzen eta Iaincoaren laudatzen.
for they heard them speaking in different languages and extolling God. At this Peter asked,
47 Orduan ihardets ceçan Pierrisec, Ala nehorc vra empatcha ahal deçaque batheya eztitecen guc beçala spiritu saindua recebitu duten hauc?
‘Can anyone refuse the water for the baptism of these people, now that they have received the Holy Spirit as we did ourselves?’
48 Eta mana ceçan batheya litecen Iaunaren icenean. Orduan othoitz eguin cieçoten cembeit egunetacotz egon ledin.
And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ; after which they asked him to stay there a few days longer.
