Eginak 17
1 Guero iraganic Amphipolian eta Apollonian, ethor citecen Thessalonicara, non baitzen Iuduén synagogabat.
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 Eta costumatu çuen beçala Paul sar cedin hetara, eta hirur Sabbathoz disputa cedin hequin Scripturetaric.
So Paul, as was his custom, went in to them and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3 Declaratzen eta proposatzen cerauela, ecen behar içan dela Christec suffri leçan eta resuscita ledin hiletaric: eta ecen haur cela Iesus Christ cein dio, nic predicatzen baitrauçuet.
explaining and demonstrating that the Messiah had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and that “this Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Messiah.”
4 Eta hetaric batzuc sinhets ceçaten, eta Paulen eta Silasen compainiaco eguin citecen, eta Iaincoa cerbitzatzen çutén Grecoetaric compainia handia, eta emazte ohoraturic ez guti.
Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of devout Greeks and not a few of the prominent women.
5 Baina bekaizteriaz mouituric Iudu rebelléc, eta harturic hara huna çabiltzan guiçon gaichto batzu, eta populua bilduric, trubla ceçaten hiria: eta Iasonen etchea iauquiric, hec populura eraman nahiz çabiltzan.
But the disobedient Jews rounded up some wicked men from the marketplace, and forming a mob they created an uproar in the city; and attacking the house of Jason, they wanted to bring them out to the crowd.
6 Eta eriden etzituztenean, tira citzaten Iason eta anayetaric batzu hirico Gobernadoretara, oihuz ceudela. Hauc mundu gucia erauci vkan duten ondoan, huna-ere ethorri içan dirade:
But not finding them they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials vociferating: “These who have upset the whole world have come here too,
7 Eta Iasonec beregana recebitu vkan ditu: eta guciec Cesaren ordenancen contra eguiten dute, dioitela berce Reguebat badela, Iesus.
to whom Jason has given lodging. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.”
8 Tharrita ceçaten bada populua eta hirico Gobernadoreac gauça hauc çançuzquitenean.
Well they agitated the crowd and the city officials when they heard these things.
9 Baina fiadoregoa recebituric Iasonganic eta goiticoetaric, vtzi citzaten ioaitera.
Then they took a security bond from Jason and the rest and let them go.
Immediately, during the night, the brothers sent both Paul and Silas away to Berea; on arriving they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Eta hauc ciraden Thessalonicaco noblenetaric, ceinéc hitza recebi baitzeçaten alegrança gucirequin, egun oroz Scripturác bilhatzen cituztela, eya gauça hauc hala liradenez.
Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all goodwill, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things might be so.
12 Eta hetaric anhitzec behinçát sinhets ceçaten, eta emazte Grec honestetaric, eta guiçonetaric ezgutic.
Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
13 Baina iaquin ceçatenean Thessalonicaco Iuduéc ecen Beroen-ere Iaincoaren hitza Paulez denuntiatu içan cela, ethor citecen hara-ere, populua tharritatzen çutela.
But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the Word of God was also being proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came too, agitating the crowds.
14 Baina bertan Paul igor ceçaten camporát anayéc, ioan ledinçát itsas alderat beçala: baina Silas eta Timotheo egon citecen han.
So then, without delay, the brothers sent Paul away, as if to go by sea, while both Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 Eta Paulen salbura heltzeco carguä hartu çutenéc, eraman ceçaten hura Atheneserano: eta hec harenganic manamendu recebituric Silasgana eta Timotheogana, guciz bertan ethor litecen hura Baithara, parti citecen.
But those who were conducting Paul actually took him all the way to Athens; and receiving a command to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they started back.
16 Eta Paul Athenesen hayén beguira cegoela keichatzen cen haren spiritua hura baithan, çacussanean hiria idolatriari emana.
Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was increasingly aroused within him as he observed that the city was full of idols.
17 Disputatzen cen bada synagogán Iuduequin, eta Iaincoa cerbitzatzen çutenequin, eta merkatuco plaçán egun oroz batzen cenequin
So he reasoned both in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.
18 Orduan Epicuriano eta Stoiciano philosopho batzu disputatzen ciraden harequin: eta batzuc erraiten çutén, Cer erran nahi du edasle hunec? Eta bercéc cioiten, Iainco arrotzén eracusle dela dirudi: ceren Iesus denuntiatzen baitzerauen eta resurrectionea.
Then certain philosophers, both Epicureans and Stoics, encountered him. Some said, “What might this idea-scavenger want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Eta hatzamanic hura eraman ceçaten Marsen karricara, cioitela, Iaquin ahal deçaquegu ceric den hiçaz erraiten den doctrina berri hori?
So taking him in tow they led him to the Areopagus and said: “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
20 Ecen gauça arrotz batzu gure beharrietara ekarten dituc: nahi diagu bada iaquin gauça horiac cer erran nahi diraden.
Because you are bringing some strange things to our ears, and we would like to know what they might mean.”
21 (Ecen Atheniano guciac eta han egoiten ciraden arrotzac eçeinere berce gauçatara etziraden applicatzen, cembeit berriren erraitera edo ençutera baicen)
(Now all Athenians and resident foreigners spent their time in nothing else but to tell, or else to hear, some novelty.)
22 Orduan Paulec Marsen karricaren erdian cegoela, erran ceçan, Athenesco guiçonác, gauça gucietan deuotegui beçala ikusten çaituztet çuec.
So standing in the middle of the Areopagus Paul said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious;
23 Ecen iragaiten naicela eta çuen deuotioneac contemplatzen ditudala eriden-ere badut aldarebat, ceinetan scribatua baitzén, Iaincoa eçagun gabeari. Bada eçagutu gaberic ohoratzen duçuen hura nic denuntiatzen drauçuet:
because as I went along and scrutinized the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO UNKNOWN GOD. Now then, the one you worship as ‘unknown’, this is the One I proclaim to you:
24 Mundua eta hartan diraden gauça guciac eguin dituen Iaincoa, ceruären eta lurraren Iaun delaric, ezta escuz eguin templetan habitatzen.
The God who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples built by hands,
25 Eta ezta guiçonén escuz cerbitzatzen deusen behar beçala, ikussiric ecen berac emaiten drauztela guciey vicia eta respirationea eta gauça guciac.
neither is He cared for by men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself has always given life and breath to all.
26 Eta eguin vkan du natura humano gucia odol batetaric: lurraren hedamen gauciaren gainean habita litecençat, lehenetic sasoin ordenatuac determinaturic, eta hayén habitationearen mugarriac eçarriric:
And from one blood He made every ethnic nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,
27 Iauna bilha leçatençát, aguian haztatuz hura eriden leçaquetenez gure batbederaganic vrrun ezpadere.
so that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
28 Ecen harçaz vicitzen eta higuitzen eta içaten gara: çuen poetetaric-ere batzuc erran dutén beçala, Ecen haren leinu-ere bagara.
because in Him we live and move and have our being. As also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
29 Beraz Iaincoaren leinu garenaz gueroz, eztugu estimatu behar Diuinitateac vrrhea edo cilharra edo harria guiçonen artez edo inuentionez moldatua irudi duela.
Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divinity is like gold or silver or stone—something shaped by human skill and imagination.
30 Iaincoac bada ignorantiazco demborác dissimulaturic, orain denuntiatzen draue guiçon guciey leku gucietan emenda ditecen.
Such times of ignorance God did indeed overlook, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent,
31 Ceren ordenatu baitu mundua iustoqui iugeaturen duen eguna determinatu duen guiçonaz, guciey eçagutzera emanic, hura hiletaric resuscitaturic.
because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
32 Eta ençun çutenean hilén resurrectionea, batzu truffatzen ciraden, eta bercéc erraiten çutén, Ençunen augu berriz horren gainean.
Well when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some started scoffing, while others said, “We will hear you again about this.”
33 Eta hunela Paul ilki cedin hayén artetic.
And with that Paul went out from among them.
34 Batzuc halere, hari iunctaturic, sinhets ceçaten: ceinetaric baitzén Dionysio Areopagita-ere, eta Damaris deitzen cen emaztebat, eta berceric hequin.
However some men believed and joined him, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, also a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
