Eginak 25

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

Festus therefore, being come into the eparchy, 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 of the Jews laid informations before him against Paul, and besought him,

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

asking as a grace against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying people in wait to kill him on the way.

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

Festus therefore answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to set out shortly.

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

Let therefore the persons of authority among you, says he, going down too, if there be anything in this man, accuse him.

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

And having remained among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the next day, having sat down on the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought.

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 was come, the Jews who were come down from Jerusalem stood round, bringing many and grievous charges which they were not able to prove:

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

Paul answering for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended [in] anything.

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, desirous of obliging the Jews, to acquire their favour, answering Paul, said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be judged before me concerning 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.

But Paul said, I am standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.

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 have done any wrong and committed anything worthy of death, I do not deprecate dying; but if there is nothing of those things of which they accuse me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.

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

Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar. To Caesar shalt thou go.

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

And when certain days had elapsed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to salute Festus.

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

And when they had spent many days there, Festus laid before the king the matters relating to Paul, saying, There is a certain man left prisoner by Felix,

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

concerning whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid informations, requiring judgment 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 answered, It is not [the] custom of the Romans to give up any man before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and he have got opportunity of defence touching the charge.

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

When therefore they had come together here, without putting it off, I sat the next day on the judgment-seat and commanded the man to be brought:

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

concerning whom the accusers, standing up, brought no such accusation of guilt as I supposed;

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

but had against him certain questions of their own system of worship, and concerning a certain Jesus who is dead, whom Paul affirmed to be living.

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

And as I myself was at a loss as to an inquiry into these things, I said, Was he willing to go to Jerusalem and there to be judged concerning these things?

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

But Paul having appealed to be kept for the cognisance of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I shall 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 myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

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

On the morrow therefore, Agrippa being come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and having entered into the hall of audience, with the chiliarchs and the men of distinction of the city, and Festus having given command, Paul was brought.

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 men who are here present with us, ye see this person, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews applied to me both in Jerusalem and here, crying out against [him] that he ought not to live 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 I, having found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and this [man] himself having appealed to Augustus, I have decided to 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.

concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. Wherefore I have brought him before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, so that an examination having been gone into I may have something to write:

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

for it seems to me senseless, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.
