Eginak 11
1 Ençun ceçaten bada Apostoluéc eta Iudean ciraden anayéc ecen Gentilec-ere recebitu çutela Iaincoaren hitza.
The apostles and the followers throughout Judea heard that even the Gentiles had welcomed God’s message.
2 Eta igan cenean Pierris Ierusalemera iharduqui ceçaten haren contra circoncisionecoéc,
But, when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were converts from Judaism began to attack him,
3 Cioitela Circonciditu eztiraden guiçonetara sarthu içan aiz, eta hequin ian vkan duc.
on the ground that he had visited people who were not circumcised, and had taken meals with them.
4 Orduan hassiric Pierrisec declara cietzen gauça guciac bata bercearen ondoan, cioela,
So Peter began to relate the facts to them as they had occurred.
5 Ni nincén Ioppeco ciuitatean othoitz eguiten nengoela: eta adimenduz transportaturic ikus neçan visionebat, baitzen, iausten cen vncibat mihisse handibat beçalacoric, laur cantoinetan lothua, beheititzen, cela cerutic, eta ethor cedin eneganano.
‘I was in the town of Joppa,’ he said, ‘and was praying; and, while in a trance, I saw a vision. There was something like a great sail descending, let down by its four corners out of the heavens; and it came right down to me.
6 Hartara beguiac eçarriric gogoa eta ikus neçan lurreco animal laur oindunetaric, eta bassa bestietaric, eta herrestez dabiltzanetaric, eta ceruco chorietaric:
Looking intently at it, I began to distinguish quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds;
7 Eta ençun neçan vozbat niri erraiten cerautala, Iaiqui adi Pierris, hil eçac eta ian eçac.
and I also heard a voice saying to me – “Stand up, Peter, kill something and eat.”
8 Eta erran neçan, Ez Iauna: ecen gauça communic edo satsuric eztuc egundano sarthu ene ahoan.
“No, Lord, I cannot,” I answered, “for nothing defiled or unclean has ever passed my lips.”
9 Eta ihardets cieçadan vozac berriz cerutic, Iaincoac purificatu duena, hic ezteçála satsu.
Then a second time there came a voice from the heavens. “What God has pronounced clean”, it said, “you must not call defiled.”
10 Eta haur eguin cedin hiruretan: eta harçara retira citecen gauça hauc guciac cerurát.
This happened three times, and then all was drawn up again into the heavens.
11 Guero huná, moment berean hirur guiçon presenta citecen ni nincen etchera, Cesareatic enegana igorriac.
At that moment three men, who had been sent from Caesarea to see me, came up to the house in which we were.
12 Eta erran cieçadan Spirituac hequin ioan nendin, dudaric eguin gabe. Eta ethor citecen enequin sey anaye hauc-ere, eta sar guentecen guiçonaren etchean:
The Spirit told me to go with them without hesitation. These six companions also went with me. And, when we came into the man’s house,
13 Eta conta cieçagun nola ikussi çuen Ainguerubat bere etchean, presentatzen çayola eta ciotsala, Igorrac cembaterebeit gende Ioppera, eta erekarrac Simon icen goiticoz Pierris deitzen dena.
he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and how the angel had said to him – “Send to Joppa and fetch the Simon, who is also known as Peter;
14 Harc erranen drauzquic hitzac, ceinéz saluaturen baitaiz, eta hi eta hire etche gucia.
for he will tell you truths, which will prove the means of salvation to you and all your household.”
15 Eta minçatzen has nendinean, iauts cedin Spiritu saindua hayén gainera, hatsean gure gainera-ere iautsi cen beçala.
I had but just begun to speak,’ continued Peter, ‘when the Holy Spirit fell on them, exactly as on us at the first;
16 Orduan orhoit nendin Iaunaren erranaz, nola cioen, Ioannesec batheyatu vkan du vrez baina çuec batheyaturen çarete Spiritu sainduaz.
and I recalled the saying of the Master – “John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
17 Bada guri bay dohain bera Iaincoac eman drauenaz gueroz, guc Iesus Christ Iauna baithan sinhetsi vkan baitugu: ni nor nincén empatcha neçan Iaincoa?
Since then, God had given them the very same gift as he gave us when we became believers in Jesus Christ the Master – who was I that I could thwart God?’
18 Orduan gauça hauc ençunic amatiga citecen, eta glorifica ceçaten Iaincoa, erraiten çutela, Beraz Gentiley-ere Iaincoac eman draue emendamendua vicitze vkaiteco.
On hearing this statement, they said no more, but broke out into praise of God. ‘So even to the Gentiles,’ they exclaimed, ‘God has granted the repentance which leads to life!’
19 Bada Estebenen causaz ethorri içan cen tribulationeagatic barreyatu ciradenac-ere ioan citecen Phenicerano eta Cyprerano eta Antiocherano, nehori declaratzen etzeraucatelaric Iaincoaren hitza, Iuduey berey baicen.
Now those who had been scattered in different directions, in consequence of the persecution that followed the death of Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, telling the message – but only to Jews.
20 Baina hetaric batzu ciraden Cypriano, eta Cyreniano, cein Antiochen sarthuric Grecoey minço baitzaizten denuntiatzen çutela Iesus Iauna.
Some of them, however, who were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, on coming to Antioch, addressed themselves also to the Jews of foreign birth, telling them the good news about that Lord Jesus.
21 Eta Iaunaren escua cen hequin: eta gende aralde handibat sinhetsiric conuerti cedin Iaunagana.
The power of the Lord was with them, so that a great number who had learned to believe came over to the Lord’s side.
22 Eta hel cedin famá Ierusalemen cen Eliçaren beharrietara: eta igor ceçaten Barnabas ioan ledin Antiocherano:
The news about them reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23 Eta arriuatu cenean, eta ikussi çuenean Iaincoaren gratiá aleguera cedin, eta exhortatzen cituen guciac, bihotzeco fermutassun batez perseueratzera Iaunarequin.
On coming there he saw to his great joy these tokens of the loving kindness of God, and encouraged them all to make up their minds to be faithful to the Lord –
24 Ecen guiçon ona cen eta Spiritu sainduaz eta fedez bethea: eta gendetze handia augmenta cequion Iaunari.
For Barnabas was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith – and a large number of people took their stand on the Lord’s side.
25 Guero ioan cedin Barnabas Tarsera, Saulen bilha:
Afterwards Barnabas left for Tarsus to look for Saul;
26 Eta hura eridenic eraman ceçan Antiochera: eta guertha cedin vrthe gucian Eliçarequin conuersa baitzeçaten, eta populu handi iracats baitzeçaten, eta discipuluac lehenic Antiochen Christino dei baitzitecen.
and, when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And so it came about that, for a whole year, they attended the meetings of the church there, and taught a large number of people; and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called “Christians.”
27 Eta egun hetan iauts citecen Ierusalemetic Propheta batzu Antiochera.
During this time, some prophets came to Antioch from Jerusalem.
28 Eta hetaric Agabus deitzen cen batec iaiquiric declara ceçan Spirituaz, gossete handia içanen cela mundu orotan: eta haur hala guertha cedin Claudio Cesaren demborán.
One of them, named Agabus, came forward and, under the influence of the Spirit, foretold a great famine that was to spread over all the world – a famine which occurred in the reign of Claudius.
29 Eta discipuluetaric batbederac bere ahalaren arauez, delibera ceçaten aiutatan cerbaiten igortera Iudean habitatzen ciraden anayey.
So the disciples, without exception, determined, in proportion to their means, to send something to help the followers living in Judea.
30 Eta hala eguin ceçaten, Ancianoey igorriz Barnabasen eta Saulen escuz.
And this they did, sending it to the church elders by Barnabas and Saul.
