Paul [and Silas] to Derbe [city and visited the believers there]. Next [they went to] Lystra [city]. A believer whose name was Timothy lived there. His mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was a Greek.
2 Huni testimoniage on ekarten ceraucaten Lystran eta Iconion ciraden anayéc.
The believers in Lystra and Iconium said good things about Timothy,
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.
and Paul wanted to take Timothy with him [when he went] to other places, so he circumcised Timothy. [He did that so that] the Jews who lived in those places [would accept Timothy], because they knew that his non-Jewish father [had not allowed him to be circumcised] {[anyone to circumcise his son]}.
4 Eta hirietan iragaiten ciradela iracasten cituzten hetangoac Ierusalemen ciraden Apostoluéz eta Ancianoéz eguin içan ciraden ordenancén beguiratzen.
[So Timothy went with Paul and Silas] and they traveled to many other towns. [In each town] they told [the] believers the rules that had been decided by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem {that the apostles and elders in Jerusalem had decided} that [non-Jewish] believers should obey.
5 Bada Eliçác fedean confirmatzen ciraden, eta contua egun guciaz emendatzen cen.
[God was helping] the believers in those towns to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus], and every day more people became believers.

Paul and his companions wanted/planned to enter Asia [province] preach the message [about Jesus] there, but they were prevented by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit prevented them} [from going there. So] they traveled through Phrygia and Galatia [provinces].
7 Ethorri ciradenean Mysiara, enseyatzen ciraden Bithiniara ioaiten: baina etziecén permetti Spirituac.
They arrived at the border of Mysia [province] and they wanted to go [north] Bithynia [province]. But [again] the Spirit of Jesus showed them that they should not [go there].
8 Baina Mysia iraganic iauts citecen Troasera.
So they went through Mysia [province] and arrived at Troas, a [port city. I, Luke, joined them there].
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.
That night [God gave] Paul a vision in which he saw a man [who was a native] of Macedonia [province]. He was standing [some distance away], and he was earnestly calling to Paul, “[Please] come over [here] to Macedonia and help us!”
10 Eta visionea ikussi vkan çuenean, bertan enseya guentecen Macedoniara ioaiten, seguratzen guenela ecen Iaunac deithu guentuela hæy euangelizatzera.
[The next morning] we [(exc)] immediately got ready to go to Macedonia, because we believed that God had called us to [go and] preach the good message to the people there.
11 Partituric bada Troastic, chuchen ethor guentecen Samothracera, eta biharamunean Neapolisera.
So we [(exc)] got on a ship in Troas and sailed across [the sea] Samothrace [Island. We spent the night there], and the next day [we sailed again across the sea and arrived] at Neapolis [port/town].
12 Eta handic Philipposera, cein baita Macedonia quoartereco lehen hiria, eta da colonia. Eta egon guentecen hiri hartan cembatrebeit egun
Then we [left Neapolis and] went [by land] to Philippi. It was a very important city in Macedonia [province, where many] Roman citizens lived. We stayed in Philippi 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 first (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [after we(exc) arrived], we went outside the city gate [down] to the river. We had heard [someone say] that [Jewish] people gathered to pray there. [When we arrived there, we saw] some women who had gathered [to pray]. So we sat down and began to tell them [the message about Jesus].
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:
A woman whose name was Lydia was one of those who were listening [to Paul. She was a non-Jewish woman], from Thyatira [city, who bought and] sold [expensive] purple cloth. She had accepted what the Jews believe about God. The Lord [God] caused her to pay attention to the message that Paul preached, and she believed it. [The members of her household also heard the good message and believed in Jesus] [MTY].
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.
After [Paul and Silas] baptized Lydia and the others who lived in her house [MTY] {After Lydia and the others who lived in her house were baptized}, she invited us to [go and stay in] her home. She said, “You [(pl)] know that I [now] believe in the Lord [Jesus], so [please] come and stay in my house.” She persuaded us [to do that, so we(exc) stayed there].
16 Eta guertha cedin gu othoitzara guendoacela, nescato Pythonen spiritua çuembat aitzinera ethor baitzequigun: ceinec irabaci handia emaiten baitzerauen bere nabussiey, asmatzez.
Another day, while we [(exc)] were going to the place where people regularly gathered to pray, we met a young woman who was a slave. An evil spirit was enabling her to be a ventriloquist and to tell people what would happen [to them]. People paid a lot of money to [the men who were] her owners, in return for her telling them things that [she said] would happen [to them].
17 Haur Pauli eta guri iarreiquiric, oihuz cegoen, cioela, Guiçon hauc Iainco subiranoaren cerbitzari dirade, ceinéc saluamenduco bidea denuntiatzen baitraucute.
This young woman followed Paul and the rest of us. She continually shouted, “These men serve the God who is the greatest [of all gods]! They are telling you how ([God] can save you [so that he will not punish you/to be] saved)”
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 continued to do that for many days. Finally Paul became irritated. So he turned [toward the young woman] and rebuked the evil spirit [that was in her. He said], “By the authority [MTY] of Jesus Christ, I command you [(sg)] to come out of this young woman!” Right away the evil spirit left her.
19 Orduan haren nabussiéc çacussatenean ecen hayén irabaci sperancá galdu cela, hatzamanic Paul eta Silas, eraman citzaten merkatuco plaçara Magistratuetara.
And then her owners realized that she could no longer earn money for them [because she could no longer predict what would happen to people, so they were angry]. They grabbed Paul and Silas and forcefully took them to the public square, to [the place where] the government authorities and [a lot of other people were gathered].
20 Eta hec presentaturic Gobernadorey, erran ceçaten, Gende hauc trublatzen duté gure hiria Iudu diradelaric:
The owners [of the young woman] brought Paul and Silas to the city officials and told them, “These men are Jews, and they are greatly troubling [the people in] [MTY] our city.
21 Eta denuntiatzen dituzté recebi ez beguira ditzagun sori eztiraden ordenançác, ikussiric ecen Romano garela.
They are teaching that we [(inc)] should follow customs that our laws do not allow us Romans to consider [to be correct] or to obey!”
22 Eta oldar cedin communa hayén contra: eta Gobernadoréc hayén arropác çathituric mana ceçaten, açota litecen.
Many of the crowd joined [those who were accusing] Paul and Silas, and started beating them. Then the [Roman] authorities commanded [soldiers] to tear the shirts off Paul and Silas and to beat them [with rods/sticks].
23 Eta anhitz çauri eguin cerauecenean eçar citzaten presoindeguian, manamendu eguinic geolerari, segurqui hec beguira litzan:
[So the soldiers] beat Paul and Silas vigorously [with rods]. After that, they [took them and] shoved them into the prison. They told the jailer that he should lock them up securely.
24 Ceinec halaco manamendua harturic eçar baitzitzan presoindegui çolán, eta hayén oinác hers citzan cepoaz.
[Because the officials] had [commanded] him [to do that], the jailer shoved Paul and Silas into the cell that was farthest inside. [There, he made them sit down on the floor/ground and stretch out their legs]. Then he fastened their ankles in [grooves] between two large wooden beams, [so that Paul and Silas could not move their legs].
25 Eta gauaren erdian Paulec eta Silasec othoizten eta laudatzen çuten Iaincoa: eta ençuten cituzten estecaturic ceudenéc.
About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying [aloud] and praising God by singing hymns. The [other] prisoners were listening attentively 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 a very strong earthquake. It shook the entire jail [SYN] and its foundation [SYN]. [The earthquake caused] all the doors [of the jail] to open suddenly, and [caused] all the chains that fastened the prisoners to fall off.
27 Orduan iratzarturic geolerac çacusquianean presoindegui borthác irequiac, ezpatá idoquiric bere buruä hil nahi çuen, vstez presoneréc ihes eguin çutén:
The jailer woke up and saw that the doors of the jail were open. He thought that the prisoners had escaped. So he pulled out his sword in order to kill himself, [because he knew that the officials would kill him if the prisoners escaped].
28 Baina Paulec oihu eguin ceçan ocengui, cioela, Eztaguioala deus minic eure buruäri: ecen guciac hemen gaituc.
Paul [saw the jailer and] shouted to him, “Do not harm yourself! We [(exc) prisoners] are all here!”
29 Orduan hura argui galdeguinic oldar cedin barnera, eta ikara çabilala egotz ceçan bere buruä Paulen eta Silasen oinetara.
The jailer shouted [to someone] to bring torches/lanterns, [and after they brought them], he rushed into the jail and knelt down in front of Paul and Silas. [He was very afraid, so] much so that he was trembling/shaking.
30 Eta hec campora idoquiric dio, Iaunác, cer eguin behar dut saluatu içateco?
Then he brought Paul and Silas out [of the jail] and asked: “Sirs, what do I need to do to be saved [from being punished for my sins]?”
31 Eta hec erran cieçoten, Sinhets eçac Iesus Christ Iauna baithan eta saluaturen aiz hi eta hire etchea.
[They answered], “Trust in [what] the Lord Jesus [has done for you], and you will be saved {[God] will save you}, and the others who live in [MTY] your house will [also] be saved [if they believe in Jesus].”
32 Eta minça cequizquión Iaincoaren hitzaz hari, eta haren etchean ciraden guciey.
Then the jailer took Paul and Silas into his house, washed their wounds, and gave them a meal. [He woke up all the people in his house, and] Paul and Silas told all of them the message about the Lord [Jesus. They all believed in him]. Immediately [after that, the jailer and all his family were baptized] {[Paul and Silas] baptized the jailer and all his family}. They were very happy, because now they all believed in God.
33 Eta harc hec harturic gauaren ordu hartan berean ikuz cietzén çauriac: eta batheya cedin hura eta harenac guciac bertan.
34 Eta bere etchera eramanic, mahaina eçar ciecén: eta aleguera cedin, ceren bere etche guciarequin sinhetsi vkan baitzuen Iaincoa baithan.
35 Eta eguna ethorri içan cenean Gobernadoréc igor citzaten sargeantac, erran leçaten, Eyec congit guiçon horiey.
The next morning, the [Roman] officials commanded [some] police officers [to go to the jail to say to the jailer], “[Our bosses] say, ‘Let those [two] prisoners go [now]!’”
36 Orduan geolerac conta cietzon hitz hauc Pauli, cioela, Igorri dié Gobernadoréc erraitera, congit eman daquiçuen: orain beraz ilkiric çoazte baquerequin.
[After the officers went and told that to] the jailer, he [went and] told Paul, “The [Roman] authorities have sent a message [(sg)] saying that I should release you [(sg)] and Silas [from prison]. So you [two] can leave [the jail] now. Now you can go peacefully!”
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 said to the police officers, “The authorities [commanded men to] beat us in front of a crowd before [those authorities] had learned if we [(exc)] had done anything wrong! Then they [ordered men to] shove us into jail! [But that was not legal, because] we [(exc)] are Roman citizens! And now they want [RHQ] to send us away secretly! We will not accept that! Those [Roman] officials must come themselves and [tell us that they are sorry], and take us out [of jail].”
38 Eta repporta cietzén sergeantéc Gobernadorey hitz hauc: eta beldur citecen, ençunic ecen Romano ciradela.
So the police officers [went and] told the city authorities [what Paul had said]. When those authorities heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid [that someone would report to more important officials what they had done, and as a result they would be punished] {[those officials would punish them]}.
39 Eta ethorriric othoitz citzaten, eta idoquiric supplica cequiztén ilki litecen hiritic.
So the city authorities came to Paul and Silas and told them that they were sorry for what they had done to them. The authorities brought them out of the jail, and repeatedly asked them to leave the city [soon].
40 Orduan ilkiric presoindeguitic sar citecen Lydia baithan: eta ikussiric anayeac, consola citzaten hec, eta parti citecen.
After Paul and Silas left the jail, they went to Lydia’s house. There they met with her and the [other] believers. They encouraged the believers [to continue trusting in the Lord Jesus], and then the two apostles left [Philippi].
