Eginak 22
1 Guiçon anayeác eta aitác, ençuçue orain çuec baithan emaiten dudan defensá.
Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye the account which I now give unto you.
2 (Eta ençun vkan çutenean ecen Hebraicoén lengoagez minço litzayela, hambat silentio handiago eguin ceçaten: eta erran ceçan, )
(And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence.)
3 Ni naiz guiçon Iudua, Tarse Ciliciacoan iayoa, baina hacia hiri hunetan berean Gamalielen oinetan, aitén Leguearen perfectionean instruitua, Iaincogana zelotaco nincela, egun çuec guciac-ere çareten beçala:
And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this day:
4 Doctrina haur persecutatu vkan dudana heriorano, estecatuz eta presoindeguietara eçarriz hambat guiçonac nola emazteac:
Who persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5 Sacrificadore subiranoa-ere testimonio dudan beçala, eta Ancianoén compainia gucia: are hetaric guthunac anayetara harturic, Damascerat ioaiten nincén, han ciradenac estecaturic Ierusalemera ekartera, puni litecençát.
As the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the ancients: from whom also receiving letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus, that I might bring them bound from thence to Jerusalem to be punished.
6 Eta guertha cedin bidean ioaiten eta Damascera hurbiltzen nincela egu-erdi irian, subitoqui cerutico chistmist ançoco argui handi batec ingura bainençan:
And it came to pass, as I was going, and drawing nigh to Damascus at midday, that suddenly from heaven there shone round about me a great light:
7 Eta eror nendin lurrera, eta ençun neçan voz-bat, ciostala, Saul, Saul, cergatic ni persecutatzen nauc?
And falling on the ground, I heard a voice saying to me: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8 Eta nic ihardets neçan, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran cieçadan, Ni nauc Iesus Nazareno hic persecutatzen duana.
And I answered: Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me: I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9 Eta enequin ciradenéc, arguia ikus ceçaten, eta icit citecen, baina enequin minço cenaren voza etzeçaten ençun.
And they that were with me, saw indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spoke with me.
10 Orduan erran neçan, Cer eguinen dut Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran cieçadan, Iaiquiric oha Damascera, eta han erranen çaizquic, eguin ditzán ordenatu çaizquian gauça guciac.
And I said: What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me: Arise, and go to Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things that thou must do.
11 Eta ceren deus ezpainuen ikusten argui haren claretatearen causaz, enequin ciradenéz escutic eraman içanic Damascera ethor nendin.
And whereas I did not see for the brightness of that light, being led by the hand by my companions, I came to Damascus.
12 Gueroztic Ananias Leguearen araura Iaincoaren beldur cen guiçombat, han egoiten ciraden Iudu gucietaric testimoniage ona çuena, enegana ethor cedin.
And one Ananias, a man according to the law, having testimony of all the Jews who dwelt there,
13 Eta ene aldean cegoela erran cieçadan, Saul anayé, recebi eçac ikustea. Eta nic ordu hartan berean harenganat beha neçan:
Coming to me, and standing by me, said to me: Brother Saul, look up. And I the same hour looked upon him.
14 Eta harc erran ceçan, Gure aitén Iaincoac elegitu au hi bere vorondatearen eçagutzeco eta Iustoaren ikusteco, eta haren ahotic vozaren ençuteco.
But he said: The God of our fathers hath preordained thee that thou shouldst know his will, and see the Just One, and shouldst hear the voice from his mouth.
15 Ecen testimonio içanen atzayo guiçon guciac baithara, ikussi eta ençun dituan gaucéz.
For thou shalt be his witness to all men, of those things which thou hast seen and heard.
16 Orain bada cer berancen duc? Iaiqui adi eta batheyadi, eta chahu itzac eure bekatuac, Iaunaren icena inuocaturic.
And now why tarriest thou? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, invoking his name.
17 Guero guertha cequidan, ni Ierusalemera bihurtu nincenean, eta templean othoitz eguiten nengoela transporta bainendin spirituz.
And it came to pass, when I was come again to Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance,
18 Eta ikus baineçan ciostana, Lehiadi eta ilki adi fitetz Ierusalemetic, ecen eztié recebituren hic niçaz emanen drauean testimoniagea.
And saw him saying unto me: Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19 Eta nic erran neçan, Iauna, hec baceaquié ecen ni presoindeguira eçarten ari nincela eta açotatzen nituela synagoga gucietan hi baithan sinhesten çutenac.
And I said: Lord, they know that I cast into prison, and beat in every synagogue, them that believed in thee.
20 Eta issurten cenean Esteben hire martyraren odola, ni-ere present ninduán, eta consentitzen nián haren hiltzean, eta beguiratzen nitián hura hiltzen çutenén arropác.
And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I stood by and consented, and kept the garments of them that killed him.
21 Eta harc erran cieçadan, Habil: ecen nic Gentiletara vrrun igorriren aut.
And he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off, will I send thee.
22 Eta ençuten çutén hura hitz hunetarano: orduan altcha ceçaten bere voza, erraiten çutela, Ken eçac lurretic horrelacoa: ecen eztuc raçoin hori vici den.
And they heard him until this word, and then lifted up their voice, saying: Away with such an one from the earth; for it is not fit that he should live.
23 Eta hec heyagoraz ceudela, eta bere arropác iharrosten eta airerat errhautsa iraizten çutela.
And as they cried out and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,
24 Mana ceçan Capitainac hura fortaleçara eraman ledin, eta ordena ceçan açoteaz examina ledin, iaquin leçançát cer causagatic hala oihuz leuden haren contra.
The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him.
25 Bada hedéz estecatu çuten ondoan, erran cieçón aldean çayón Capitainari Paulec, Hauçu çarete Romaco den baten eta condemnatu eztenaren açotatzera?
And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26 Eta haur ençun çuenean Centenerac ioanic Capitainagana, conta cieçón hari, cioela, Ikussac cer eguiteco duán: ecen guiçon haur Romaco burgés duc.
Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune, and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.
27 Eta capitainac ethorriric harengana, erran cieçón, Erran ieçadac, eya hi Romaco burgés aicenez. Eta harc erran ceçan, Bay.
And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me, art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea.
28 Eta ihardets ceçan Capitainac, Nic somma handitan burgesia hori acquisitu diat. Eta Paulec dio, Eta ni iayo-ere burgés nauc.
And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so.
29 Bertan orduan retira citecen harenganic hura examinatu behar çutenac: eta Capitaina-ere beldur cedin, eçaguturic ecen Romaco burgés cela, eta ceren estecatu baitzuen.
Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen, and because he had bound him.
30 Eta biharamunean segura iaquin nahiz cer causagatic accusatzen licén Iuduéz, lacha ceçan estecaduretaric: eta mana ceçan, Sacrificadore principalac bil litecen, eta hayén conseillu gucia: eta ekarriric Paul presenta ceçan hayén aitzinean.
But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the priests to come together, and all the council: and bringing forth Paul, he set him before them.
