1 Guero arriua cedin Derbera eta Lystrara: eta huná, discipulubat cén han Timotheo deitzen cenic, emazte fidel baten seme, baina, aita Grec-baten.
Among other places Paul went to Derbe and Lystra. At the latter place they found a disciple, named Timothy, whose mother was a Jewish woman who was a believer, while his father was a Greek,
2 Huni testimoniage on ekarten ceraucaten Lystran eta Iconion ciraden anayéc.
and who was well spoken of by the followers of the Lord in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Haur nahi vkan du Paulec harequin ioan ledin, eta harturic circoncidi ceçan hura leku hetan ciraden Iuduacgatic: ecen baçaquiten guciéc haren aita nola Grec cen.
Wishing to take this man with him on his journey, Paul caused him to be circumcised out of consideration for the Jews in that region, for they all knew that his father had been a Greek.
4 Eta hirietan iragaiten ciradela iracasten cituzten hetangoac Ierusalemen ciraden Apostoluéz eta Ancianoéz eguin içan ciraden ordenancén beguiratzen.
As they traveled from town to town, they gave the followers the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and church elders at Jerusalem, for them to observe.
5 Bada Eliçác fedean confirmatzen ciraden, eta contua egun guciaz emendatzen cen.
So the churches grew stronger in the faith, and increased in numbers from day to day.
6 Guero iraganic Phrygia eta Galatiaco comarcá, debetatu içan ciraden Spiritu sainduaz hitzaren Asian predicatzetic:
They next went through the Phrygian district of Galatia, but were restrained by the Holy Spirit from delivering the message in Roman Asia.
7 Ethorri ciradenean Mysiara, enseyatzen ciraden Bithiniara ioaiten: baina etziecén permetti Spirituac.
When they reached the borders of Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
8 Baina Mysia iraganic iauts citecen Troasera.
Passing through Mysia, they went down to Troas;
9 Eta visionebat gauaz aguer cequión Pauli, baitzen hunela, Macedoniaco guiçon-bat presenta cedin haren aitzinean othoitz eguiten ceraucala eta erraiten, Iragan adi Macedoniarat eta aiuta gaitzac.
and there one night Paul saw a vision. A Macedonian was standing and appealing to him – “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10 Eta visionea ikussi vkan çuenean, bertan enseya guentecen Macedoniara ioaiten, seguratzen guenela ecen Iaunac deithu guentuela hæy euangelizatzera.
So, immediately after Paul had seen the vision, we looked for an opportunity to cross over to Macedonia, concluding that God had summoned us to tell the good news to the people there.
11 Partituric bada Troastic, chuchen ethor guentecen Samothracera, eta biharamunean Neapolisera.
Accordingly we set sail from Troas, and ran before the wind to Samothrace, reaching Neapolis the next day.
12 Eta handic Philipposera, cein baita Macedonia quoartereco lehen hiria, eta da colonia. Eta egon guentecen hiri hartan cembatrebeit egun
From there we made our way to Philippi, which is the principal city of that part of Macedonia, and also a Roman Settlement. In that city we spent several days.
13 Eta Sabbath egunean ilki guentecen hiritic campora fluuio bazterrera, non içaten ohi baitzén othoitzá: eta iarriric minça guenquinztén hara bildu içan ciraden emaztey.
On the Sabbath we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who were gathered there.
14 Eta Lydia deitzen cen Thiatira hirico emazte escarlata saltzale Iaincoa cerbitzatzen çuen batec ençun guençan: ceinen bihotza Iaunac irequi baitzeçan, Paulez erraiten ciraden gaucén gogoatzeco:
Among them was a woman, named Lydia, belonging to Thyatira, a dealer in purple cloth, who was accustomed to join in the worship of God. The Lord touched this woman’s heart, so that she gave attention to the message delivered by Paul,
15 Eta batheyatu içan cenean bera eta haren familia, othoitz ceguigun, cioela, Baldin estimatu baduçue Iaunagana fidel naicela, sarthuric ene etchean, çaudete. Eta bortcha guençan.
and, when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us to become her guests. ‘Since you have shown your conviction,’ she said, ‘that I really am a believer in the Lord, come and stay in my house.’ And she insisted on our doing so.
16 Eta guertha cedin gu othoitzara guendoacela, nescato Pythonen spiritua çuembat aitzinera ethor baitzequigun: ceinec irabaci handia emaiten baitzerauen bere nabussiey, asmatzez.
One day, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, we were met by a girl possessed by a divining spirit, who made large profits for her masters by fortune-telling.
17 Haur Pauli eta guri iarreiquiric, oihuz cegoen, cioela, Guiçon hauc Iainco subiranoaren cerbitzari dirade, ceinéc saluamenduco bidea denuntiatzen baitraucute.
This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, calling, ‘These men are servants of the most high God, and they are bringing you news of a way to salvation.’
18 Eta haur eguin ceçan anhitz egunez: baina gaitzituric Paulec, eta itzuliric erran cieçón spirituari, Manatzen aut Iesus Christen icenaren partez horrenganic ilki adin. Eta ilki cedin ordu berean.
She had been doing this for several days, when Paul, much vexed, turned and said to the spirit within her, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to leave her.’ That very moment the spirit left her.
19 Orduan haren nabussiéc çacussatenean ecen hayén irabaci sperancá galdu cela, hatzamanic Paul eta Silas, eraman citzaten merkatuco plaçara Magistratuetara.
When her masters saw that there was no hope of further profit from her, they seized Paul and Silas, dragged them into the public square to the authorities,
20 Eta hec presentaturic Gobernadorey, erran ceçaten, Gende hauc trublatzen duté gure hiria Iudu diradelaric:
and took them before the Magistrates. ‘These men are causing a great disturbance in our town,’ they complained;
21 Eta denuntiatzen dituzté recebi ez beguira ditzagun sori eztiraden ordenançác, ikussiric ecen Romano garela.
‘They are Jews, and they are teaching customs which it is not right for us, as Romans, to sanction or adopt.’
22 Eta oldar cedin communa hayén contra: eta Gobernadoréc hayén arropác çathituric mana ceçaten, açota litecen.
The mob rose as one person against them, and the Magistrates stripped them of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
23 Eta anhitz çauri eguin cerauecenean eçar citzaten presoindeguian, manamendu eguinic geolerari, segurqui hec beguira litzan:
After beating them severely, the Magistrates put them in prison, with orders to the jailer to keep them in safe custody.
24 Ceinec halaco manamendua harturic eçar baitzitzan presoindegui çolán, eta hayén oinác hers citzan cepoaz.
On receiving so strict an order, the Governor put them into the inner cell, and secured their feet in the stocks.
25 Eta gauaren erdian Paulec eta Silasec othoizten eta laudatzen çuten Iaincoa: eta ençuten cituzten estecaturic ceudenéc.
About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and while the prisoners were listening to them,
26 Eta subitoqui lur ikaratze handibat eguin cedin, hala non iharros baitzitecen presoindegui fundamentac: eta bertan irequi citecen bortha guciac, eta gucién estecailluac lacha citecen.
suddenly there was an earthquake of such violence that the jail was shaken to its foundations; all the doors flew open, and all the prisoners’ chains were loosened.
27 Orduan iratzarturic geolerac çacusquianean presoindegui borthác irequiac, ezpatá idoquiric bere buruä hil nahi çuen, vstez presoneréc ihes eguin çutén:
Roused from his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, the Governor drew his sword intending to kill himself, in the belief that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Baina Paulec oihu eguin ceçan ocengui, cioela, Eztaguioala deus minic eure buruäri: ecen guciac hemen gaituc.
But Paul called our loudly, ‘Do not harm yourself; we are all here.’
29 Orduan hura argui galdeguinic oldar cedin barnera, eta ikara çabilala egotz ceçan bere buruä Paulen eta Silasen oinetara.
Calling for a light, the Governor rushed in, and flung himself trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.
30 Eta hec campora idoquiric dio, Iaunác, cer eguin behar dut saluatu içateco?
Then he led them out, and said, ‘What must I do to be saved?’
31 Eta hec erran cieçoten, Sinhets eçac Iesus Christ Iauna baithan eta saluaturen aiz hi eta hire etchea.
‘Believe in Jesus, our Lord,’ they replied, ‘and you will be saved, you and your household too.’
32 Eta minça cequizquión Iaincoaren hitzaz hari, eta haren etchean ciraden guciey.
Then they spoke to him of God’s message, and to all his household as well.
33 Eta harc hec harturic gauaren ordu hartan berean ikuz cietzén çauriac: eta batheya cedin hura eta harenac guciac bertan.
And that very hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds, and he himself and everyone belonging to him were baptized without delay.
34 Eta bere etchera eramanic, mahaina eçar ciecén: eta aleguera cedin, ceren bere etche guciarequin sinhetsi vkan baitzuen Iaincoa baithan.
Afterwards he took them up to his house and set before them something to eat, rejoicing that he, with all his household, had come to believe in God.
35 Eta eguna ethorri içan cenean Gobernadoréc igor citzaten sargeantac, erran leçaten, Eyec congit guiçon horiey.
In the morning the Magistrates sent the guards with an order for the men to be discharged.
36 Orduan geolerac conta cietzon hitz hauc Pauli, cioela, Igorri dié Gobernadoréc erraitera, congit eman daquiçuen: orain beraz ilkiric çoazte baquerequin.
The jailer told Paul of his instructions. ‘The Magistrates have sent an order for your discharge,’ he said, ‘so you had better leave the place at once and go quietly away.’
37 Baina Paulec erran ciecén, Publicoqui açotatu gaituzten ondoan, iugemendu formaric gabe, Romano garelaric, egotzi vkan gaituzte presoindeguira: eta orain ichilic campora egoizten gaituzte? ez balimba: baina beréc ethorriric idoqui gaitzate.
But Paul’s answer to them was, ‘They have flogged us in public without trial, though we are Roman citizens, and they have put us in prison, and now they are for sending us out secretly! No, indeed! Let them come and take us out themselves.’
38 Eta repporta cietzén sergeantéc Gobernadorey hitz hauc: eta beldur citecen, ençunic ecen Romano ciradela.
The guards reported his words to the Magistrates, who, on hearing that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, were alarmed,
39 Eta ethorriric othoitz citzaten, eta idoquiric supplica cequiztén ilki litecen hiritic.
and went to the prison, and did their best to conciliate them. Then they took them out, and begged them to leave the city.
40 Orduan ilkiric presoindeguitic sar citecen Lydia baithan: eta ikussiric anayeac, consola citzaten hec, eta parti citecen.
When Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, and, after they had seen the Lord’s followers, and encouraged them, they left the place.
