Eginak 25

1 Festus bada prouincian sarthuric hirur egunen buruän ioan cedin Ierusalemera Cesarearic.

So Festus, having come into that part of the country which was under his rule, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

2 Eta compari citecen haren aitzinean Sacrificadore subiranoa eta Iuduén arteco principalenac Paulen contra, eta othoitz eguiten ceraucaten.

And the chief priests and the chief men of the Jews made statements against Paul,

3 Fauore esquez ceudela haren contra, hurá erekar leçançát Ierusalemera: celata çaizcolaric hura bidean hil leçatençat.

Requesting Festus to give effect to their design against him, and send him to Jerusalem, when they would be waiting to put him to death on the way.

4 Eta Festusec ihardets ceçan, vngui beguiratua içanen cela Paul Cesarean, eta bera sarri haraco licela.

But Festus, in answer, said that Paul was being kept in prison at Caesarea, and that in a short time he himself was going there.

5 Bada çuetaric (dio) ahal ditecenac, elkarrequin iauts bitez, eta baldin cembeit hoguen guiçon haur baithan bada accusa beçate.

So, he said, let those who have authority among you go with me, and if there is any wrong in the man, let them make a statement against him.

6 Eta hamar egun baicen hayén artean egon gaberic, iauts cedin Cesareara: eta biharamunean iarriric iudicioco alkian, mana ceçan Paul erekar ledin.

And when he had been with them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the day after, he took his place on the judge's seat, and sent for Paul.

7 Hura hara ethorri cenean ingura ceçaten Ierusalemetic iautsi içan ciraden Iuduéc accusatione anhitz eta piçuric ekarten çutela Paulen contra, cein ecin phoroga baitzitzaqueizten:

And when he came, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem came round him, and made all sorts of serious statements against him, which were not supported by the facts.

8 Ihardesten çuelaric Paulec, ecen deusetan ezluela faltatu Iuduén Leguearen contra, ez templearen contra, ez Cesaren contra.

Then Paul, in his answer to them, said, I have done no wrong against the law of the Jews, or against the Temple, or against Caesar.

9 Baina Festusec atseguin eguin nahiz Iuduey, ihardesten ceraucala Pauli, erran ceçan, Nahi aiz Ierusalemera igan eta han gauça hauçaz iugeatu ene aitzinean?

But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

10 Eta erran ceçan Paulec Cesaren iudicioco alki aitzinean niagoc, non behar bainaiz iugeatu. Iuduey deusetan eztiraueat iniuriaric eguin, hic-ere vngui daquián beçala.

And Paul said, I am before the seat of Caesar's authority where it is right for me to be judged: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you are well able to see.

11 Ecen baldin gaizquiric eguin badut, edo deus herio mereci duenic accommettitu badut, eztiát hiltzera refusatzen: baina baldin horiéc accusatzen nautenetaric deus ezpada, nehorc horiéy ecin eman nieçaqueec: Cesargana appellatzen nauc.

If, then, I am a wrongdoer and there is a cause of death in me, I am ready for death: if it is not as they say against me, no man may give me up to them. Let my cause come before Caesar.

12 Orduan Festusec conseilluarequin minçaturic, ihardets ceçan, Cesargana appellatu aiz? Cesargana ioanen aiz.

Then Festus, having had a discussion with the Jews, made answer, You have said, Let my cause come before Caesar; to Caesar you will go.

13 Eta cembeit egunen buruän Agrippa reguea eta Bernice iauts eitecen Cesareara Festusen salutatzera.

Now when some days had gone by, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea and went to see Festus.

14 Eta anhitz egun han egonic Festusec Regueri aippa cieçón Paulen eguitecoa, erraiten çuela, Guiçon-bat vtzi içan duc Felixez presonér:

And as they were there for some days, Festus gave them Paul's story, saying, There is a certain man here who was put in prison by Felix:

15 Ceinen causaz, ethorri nincenean Ierusalemera, compari baitzitecen Sacrificadore principalac eta Iuduén Ancianoac, haren contra condemnatione requeritzen çutela.

Against whom the chief priests and the rulers of the Jews made a statement when I was at Jerusalem, requesting me to give a decision against him.

16 Eta ihardetsi diraueat, eztutela Romanoéc costuma nehoren heriotara liuratzeco, accusatzen denac bere accusaçaleac aitzinean dituqueeno, eta defendatzeco leku har deçaqueeno hoguenaz.

To whom I gave answer that it is not the Roman way to give a man up, till he has been face to face with those who are attacking him, and has had a chance to give an answer to the statements made against him.

17 Bada huna ethorri ciradenean, luçamenduric batre gabe, biharamunean iudicioco alkian iarriric, mana nieçán ekar ledin guiçona.

So, when they had come together here, straight away, on the day after, I took my place on the judge's seat and sent for the man.

18 Haren accusaçaleac han present ciradela, etzeçateán hoguenic batre ekar, nic vste nuenaren gainean.

But when they got up they said nothing about such crimes as I had in mind:

19 Baina questione batzu citiztean haren contra berén superstitioneaz, eta edocein Iesus hilic vici licela Paulec seguratzen çuen batez.

But had certain questions against him in connection with their religion, and about one Jesus, now dead, who, Paul said, was living.

20 Eta nic, halaco questioneaz eguitecotan içanez, erran nieçoán, eya nahi licenez Ierusalemera ioan, eta han iugea ledin gauça hauçaz.

And as I had not enough knowledge for the discussion of these things, I made the suggestion to him to go to Jerusalem and be judged there.

21 Baina ceren appella baitzedin reserua ledinçát Augustoren eçagutzera, mana nieçan beguira ledin hura igor neçaqueno Cesargana.

But when Paul made a request that he might be judged by Caesar, I gave orders for him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

22 Agrippac orduan erran cieçón Festusi, Nahi niquec neurorrec-ere guiçona ençun. Eta harc, Bihar, dio, ençunen duc.

And Agrippa said to Festus, I have a desire to give the man a hearing myself. Tomorrow, he said, you may give him a hearing.

23 Bada biharamunean ethorri ciradenean Agrippa eta Bernice pompa handirequin, eta sarthu ciradenean audiencián capitainequin eta hirico gendé authoritatezcoequin: Festusen manamenduz erekar cedin Paul.

So on the day after, when Agrippa and Bernice in great glory had come into the public place of hearing, with the chief of the army and the chief men of the town, at the order of Festus, Paul was sent for.

24 Eta Festusec dio, Regue Agrippá, eta hemen gurequin çareten guciác, badacussaçue guiçon haur, hunez Iuduén compainia gucia minçatu içan çait hambat Ierusalemen nola hemen, heyagoraz, hunec eztuela guehiagoric vici behar.

And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all those who are present here with us, you see this man, about whom all the Jews have made protests to me, at Jerusalem and in this place, saying that it is not right for him to be living any longer.

25 Baina nic eriden dut, deus hunec eztuela eguin herio mereci duenic: badaric-ere bera Augustogana appellatu denaz gueroz, deliberatu dut harengana igortera.

But, in my opinion, there is no cause of death in him, and as he himself has made a request to be judged by Caesar, I have said that I would send him.

26 Huneçaz cer seguric scriba dieçodan iaunari eztut. Halacotz ekarri vkan dut çuetara, eta principalqui hiregana, regue Agrippá, informatione eguinic cer scriba dudançát.

But I have no certain account of him to send to Caesar. So I have sent for him to come before you, and specially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the business has been gone into, I may have something to put in writing.

27 Ecen eztela raçoinic irudi daut, presonér baten igortea, eta haren contrataco hoguenac eztitecen notifica.

For it seems to me against reason to send a prisoner without making clear what there is against him.
