Eginak 25

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

Now upon assuming the province, after three days Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

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

Then the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul and started importuning him,

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

begging a favor from him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem—preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.

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

However Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, he himself being about to go there shortly.

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

He said, “So let those who are competent among you go down with me; if there is anything against this man, let them accuse him.”

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

When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea; the next day he sat on the judgment seat and 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:

When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem made a circle, bringing against Paul many serious charges that they could not prove,

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

while he defended himself, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar did I commit any sin.”

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, wanting to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul by saying, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to be judged by me there 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.

So Paul said: “I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as even you know very well.

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.

Now if I really am in the wrong and have perpetrated anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if there is nothing to the things of which these are accusing me, no one has the right to give me to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

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

Then Festus, when he had conferred with his counsel, answered: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go!”

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

Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived in Caesarea to congratulate Festus.

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

Since they were spending many days there, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying: “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

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

about whom, when I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for punishment 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 that it is not a custom with Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the accused has his accusers face to face and has opportunity for defense against the accusation.

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

So when they had assembled here, without any delay, the next day I sat 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.

When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge against him of such things as I supposed,

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

but had certain issues against him about their religion, and about a certain dead Jesus 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 since I was at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be judged there concerning these things.

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

But when Paul appealed to be reserved for the decision of the Emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I can send him to Caesar.”

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

Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I myself would also like to hear the man.” So he said, “Tomorrow you shall 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.

So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp and entered the auditorium, with the commanding officers and the more prominent men of the city, at Festus' command Paul was brought in.

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 you men who are here with us: consider this man, about whom the whole Jewish community petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, vociferating that it was not fitting for him 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 when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, besides he himself having appealed to the Emperor, I 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.

But I have nothing certain to write to my lord concerning him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the examination I may have something to write.

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

Because it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him.”
