Eginak 23

1 Eta beguiac conseillua baitharát chuchenduric Paulec erran ceçan, Guiçon anayeác, nic conscientia on gucitan cerbitzatu vkan dut Iaincoa egun hunetarano.

And Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto this day.

2 Orduan Ananias Sacrificadore subiranoac mana citzan aldean çaizconac, hura muthurrean io leçaten.

But the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by him to smite his mouth.

3 Orduan Paulec erran cieçón, Cehaturen au hi Iaincoac, paret churituá: eta hi baihago Leguearen arauez ene iugeatzeco, eta Leguearen contra manatzen duc ni ceha nadin?

Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And thou, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten?

4 Eta present ciradenéc erran ceçaten, Iaincoaren Sacrificadore subiranoa iniuriatzen duc?

And those that stood by said, Dost thou rail against the high priest of God?

5 Eta erran ceçan Paulec, Anayeác, ez naquian Sacrificadore subirano cela: ecen scribatua da, Eure populuaren princeaz eztuc gaizqui erranen.

And Paul said, I was not conscious, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evilly of the ruler of thy people.

6 Eta iaquin çuenean Paulec ecen partida bata cela Sadduceuetaric, eta bercea Phariseuetaric, oihuz iar cedin conseilluan, Guiçon anayeác, ni Phariseu naiz, Phariseu seme: hilén sperançáz eta resurrectioneaz ni accusatzen naiz.

But Paul, knowing that the one part [of them] were of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: I am judged concerning the hope and resurrection of [the] dead.

7 Eta haur erran çuenean, eguin cedin seditione Phariseuén eta Sadduceuén artean: eta çathi cedin biltzarrea.

And when he had spoken this, there was a tumult of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.

8 Ecen Sadduceuéc erraiten dute eztela resurrectioneric, ez Aingueruric ez spirituric: baina Phariseuéc bata eta bercea aithor dituzté.

For Sadducees say there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but Pharisees confess both of them.

9 Eta eguin içan cen heyagora handibat: orduan Phariseuén alde ciraden Scribác iaiquiric baciharducaten, erraiten çutela, Eztugu deus gaitzic eriden guiçon hunetan, baina baldin spiritubat edo Ainguerubat minçatu baçayó ezgaitecela Iaincoaren contra batailla.

And there was a great clamour, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part rising up contended, saying, We find nothing evil in this man; and if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel...

10 Eta seditione handi eguin içanic, Capitainac beldurturic, heçaz Paul çathica ledin, mana ceçan gendarmesac iauts litecen hayén artetic haren harapatzera eta fortaleçara eramaitera.

And a great tumult having arisen, the chiliarch, fearing lest Paul should have been torn in pieces by them, commanded the troop to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and to bring [him] into the fortress.

11 Eta ondoco gauèan Iaunac, hari presentatzen çayola, erran cieçón, Paul, auc bihotz on: ecen nola testificatu baituc niçaz Ierusalemen, hala behar duc Roman-ere testificatu.

But the following night the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so thou must bear witness at Rome also.

12 Eta arguitu cenean, Iuduetaric batzuc eguinic biltzarre eta vot maledictionerequin, lioitela, ezlutela ianen ez edanen Paul hil leçaqueteno.

And when it was day, the Jews, having banded together, put themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they should kill Paul.

13 Eta berroguey baino guehiago ciraden coniuratione haur eguin çutenac.

And they were more than forty who had joined together in this oath;

14 Hec ethorriric Sacrificadore principaletara eta Ancianoetara, erran ceçaten, Vot eguin dugu maledictionerequin, deus eztugula dastaturen Paul hil duqueguno.

and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul.

15 Orain bada çuec iaquin eraci ieçoçue Capitainari, conseilluaren vorondatetic bihar hura erekar dieçaçuela, harçaz cerbait hobequi eçagutu nahi bacinduté beçala: eta gu hura hurbil dadin baino lehen, prest gara haren hiltzera.

Now therefore do ye with the council make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him.

16 Baina Paulen arrebaren semea ençunic celatác, ethor cedin, eta sarthuric fortaleçara conta cieçón Pauli.

But Paul's sister's son, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported [it] to Paul.

17 Eta Paulec Centeneretaric bat beregana deithuric, erran cieçón, Guiçon gazte haur eramac Capitainagana, ecen badic cerbait hari erran beharric.

And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to him.

18 Harc bada hura harturic eraman ceçan Capitainagana, eta erran ceçan, Paul presonerac beregana deithuric othoitz eguin dirautac, guiçon gazte haur hiregana ekar neçan, ceinec baitu cerbait hiri erran beharric.

He therefore, having taken him with [him], led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to [him] and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has something to say to thee.

19 Eta Capitainac hura escutic harturic, eta appart retiraturic galde eguin cieçón, Cer duc niri erran beharric?

And the chiliarch having taken him by the hand, and having gone apart in private, inquired, What is it that thou hast to report to me?

20 Eta harc erran ceçan, Iuduéc ordenatu dié hiri othoitz eguitera, bihar Paul conseillura igorri deçán, hobequiago cerbaitez informatu nahi balirade beçala harçaz:

And he said, The Jews have agreed together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bring Paul down to-morrow into the council, as about to inquire something more precise concerning him.

21 Baina hic eztieceala accorda: ecen hayén artecoric berroguey guiçon baino guehiago haren celata diaudec: vot eguinic maledictionezco penán, eztutela ianen ez edanen hura hil duqueiteno: eta orain prest diaudec, hic cer promettaturen drauèan beguira.

Do not thou then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting the promise from thee.

22 Capitainac bada igor ceçan guiçon gaztea, hari manaturic, nehori ezlerron nola gauça hauc hari dclaratu cerauzcan.

The chiliarch then dismissed the youth, commanding [him], Utter to no one that thou hast represented these things to me.

23 Eta deithuric bi Centenér erran ciecén, Eduquitzaçue prest ber-ehun gendarmés Cesarearano ioaiteco, eta hiruroguey eta hamar çamaldun, eta ber-ehun archer, gauaren heren oreneco.

And having called to [him] certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred light-armed footmen, for the third hour of the night.

24 Eta den abre prestic, igan eraciric Paul salburic eraman deçatençát Felix gobernadore handiagana.

And [he ordered them] to provide beasts, that they might set Paul on them and carry [him] safe through to Felix the governor,

25 Eta scriba cietzon letra batzu tenor hunetacoric,

having written a letter, couched in this form:

26 Claude Lysiasec Felix gobernadore gucizco excellentari, salutatione.

Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.

27 Guiçon haur Iuduéz hatzamana, eta ia heçaz hiltzeco cegoela, ethorriric garniçoinarequin edequi diraueat, eçaguturic ecen Romaco burgés cela.

This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out [of their hands], having learned that he was a Roman.

28 Eta iaquin nahiz cer causagatic accusatzen lutén, eraman vkan diat hayén conseillura.

And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;

29 Cein eriden baitut accusatzen cela berén Legueco questionéz, eta herioric edo presoinic mereci luen hoguenic batre etzuela.

whom I found to be accused of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him [making him] worthy of death or of bonds.

30 Eta aduertitu içanic guiçon huni Iuduéz eguiten çaizcan celatéz, bertan igorri vkan diát hiregana: manamendu eguinic accusaçaley-ere, hunen contretaco dituzten gauçác hire aitzinean erran ditzaten. Vngui aicela.

But having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man [by the Jews], I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him. [Farewell.]

31 Gendarmeséc bada hæy manatu içan çayen beçala, Paul harturic eraman ceçaten gauaz Antipatrisera.

The soldiers therefore, according to what was ordered them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris,

32 Eta biharamunean vtziric çamaldunac harequin loacençát, itzul citecen fortaleçara.

and on the morrow, having left the horsemen to go with him, returned to the fortress.

33 Eta hec Cesareara ethorriric eta Gobernadore handiari letrác emanic, Paul-ere haren aitzinera presenta ceçaten.

And these, having entered into Caesarea, and given up the letter to the governor, presented Paul also to him.

34 Eta iracurri cituenean Gobernadore handiac letrác, eta cer prouinciataco cen hura interrogatu çuenean, eta eçaguturic ecen Ciliciaco cela:

And having read [it], and asked of what eparchy he was, and learned that [he was] of Cilicia,

35 Ençunen aut dio, hire accusaçaleac-ere ethorri diratenean. Eta mana ceçan Herodesen palatioan beguira ledin.

he said, I will hear thee fully when thine accusers also are arrived. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's praetorium.
