Eginak 26

1 Agrippac orduan Pauli erran cieçón, Permettitzen çaic eure buruägatic minçatzea. Orduan Paul escua hedaturic has cedin raçoin emaiten, cioela,

And Agrippa said to Paul, You may put your cause before us. Then Paul, stretching out his hand, made his answer, saying:

2 Regue Agrippá, dohatsu neure buruä estimatzen diat ceren egun hire aitzinean ihardetsi behar baitut, Iuduez accusatzen naicen gauca guciez

In my opinion I am happy, King Agrippa, to be able to give my answer before you today to all these things which the Jews say against me:

3 Principalqui ceren baitaquit eçagutzen dituala Iuduén artean diraden costuma eta questione guciac: halacotz othoitz eguiten drauat, patientqui ençun néçan.

The more so, because you are expert in all questions to do with the Jews and their ways: so I make my request to you to give me a hearing to the end.

4 Bada ene vicitze gaztetassunetic eraman dudanaz den becembatean, eta ceric lehen hatsetic içan den ene nationean Ierusalemen, badaquite Iudu guciéc:

All the Jews have knowledge of my way of life from my early years, as it was from the start among my nation, and at Jerusalem;

5 Lehendanic eçaguturic (baldin testificatu nahi baduté) nola neure aitzinecoacdanic gure religioneco secta gucizco excellentaren arauez vici içan naicen Phariseu.

And they are able to say, if they would give witness, that I was living as a Pharisee, in that division of our religion which is most regular in the keeping of the law.

6 Eta orain Iaincoaz gure aitey eguin içan çayen promesseco sperançaren causaz, iudicioan accusaturic nago.

And now I am here to be judged because of the hope given by God's word to our fathers;

7 Promes hartara gure hamabi leinuéc ardura gau eta egun Iaincoa cerbitzatzén dutela helduren diradela sperança duté, cein sperançaz (o Regue Agrippá) Iuduéc ni accusatzen bainaute.

For the effecting of which our twelve tribes have been working and waiting night and day with all their hearts. And in connection with this hope I am attacked by the Jews, O king!

8 Cer? sinhets ecin daitenetan daducaçue çuec baithan, Iaincoac hilac ressuscitatzen dituela?

Why, in your opinion, is it outside belief for God to make the dead come to life again?

9 Eta niçaz den becembatean irudi içan çait ecen Iesus Nazarenoren icenaren contra resistentia handi eguin behar nuela:

For I, truly, was of the opinion that it was right for me to do a number of things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

10 Eta eguin-ere badut Ierusalemen: eta anhitz saindu nic presoindeguietan enserratu vkan dut, Sacrificadore principaletaric bothere vkanic: eta nehorc hiltzen cituenean neure sententiá emaiten nuen.

And this I did in Jerusalem: and numbers of the saints I put in prison, having had authority given to me from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my decision against them.

11 Eta synagoga gucietan maiz punitzen nituela bortchatzen nituen blasphematzera: eta sobera minthuric hayén contra, persecutatzen nituen hiri arrotzetarano.

And I gave them punishment frequently, in all the Synagogues, forcing them to say things against God; and burning with passion against them, I went after them even into far-away towns.

12 Dembora hartan Damascerat-ere ioaiten nincela Sacrificadore principalén botherearequin eta commissionearequin.

Then, when I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and orders of the chief priests,

13 Egunaren erdian, o Regué, bidean ikus nieçán cerutico arguibat iguzquiarena baino claroagoric, arguitzen guentuela ni eta enequin bidean ioaiten ciradenac.

In the middle of the day, on the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who were journeying with me.

14 Eta gu guciac eroriric lurrera, ençun nieçán vozbat niri minço çaitadala, eta ciostala Hebraicoén lengoagez, Saul, Saul, cergatic ni persecutatzen nauc? gogor duc hiretaco akuloén contra ostico eguitea.

And when we had all gone down on the earth, a voice came to me, saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly? It is hard for you to go against the impulse which is driving you.

15 Nic orduan erran nieçán, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta harc erran cieçadán, Ni nauc Iesus hic persecutatzen duana.

And I said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking.

16 Baina iaiqui adi, eta ago çutic eure oinén gainean: ecen hunegatic aguertu natzaic, ordena ençadançat ministre eta ikussi dituán eta aguerturen natzayán gaucen testimonio:

But get up on your feet: for I have come to you for this purpose, to make you a servant and a witness of the things in which you have seen me, and of those in which you will see me;

17 Idoquiten audalaric populu horretaric eta Gentiletaric, ceinetara orain igorten baihaut,

And I will keep you safe from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,

18 Irequi ditzançat hayén beguiac, conuerti ditecençát ilhumbetic arguira, eta Satanen botheretic Iaincoagana, recebi deçatençát bekatuen barkamendua, eta çorthea sanctificatuén artean, ni baithango fedeaz.

To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.

19 Hunegatic, o Regue Agrippá, eznitzayoc desobedient içan cerutico visioneari.

So, then, King Agrippa, I did not go against the vision from heaven;

20 Baina Damascen ciradeney lehenic, eta Ierusalemen, eta Iudeaco comarca gucian ciradeney, guero Gentiley-ere predicatu diraueat emenda litecen eta conuerti Iaincoagana, obrác eguiten lituztelaric emendamendutaco digneac.

But I went about, first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, preaching a change of heart, so that they, being turned to God, might give, in their works, the fruits of a changed heart.

21 Causa hunegatic Iuduac ni templean hatzamanic enseyatu içan dituc ene hiltzen:

For this reason, the Jews took me in the Temple, and made an attempt to put me to death.

22 Baina Iaincoaren aiutaz aiutatu içanic iraun diát egungo egunerano, testificatzen drauèdala hambat chipiey nola handiéy, eta deus erraiten eznuela Prophetéc eta Moysesec ethorteco ciradela aitzinetic erran dutén gauçaric baicen:

And so, by God's help, I am here today, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come about;

23 Ecen behar cela Christec suffri leçan, eta hilén resurrectioneco lehena licén, ceinec populu huni eta Gentiley arguia denuntiatu behar baitzerauen.

That the Christ would go through pain, and being the first to come back from the dead, would give light to the people and to the Gentiles.

24 Eta gauça hauc bere defensatan erraiten cituela Festusec ocengui erran ceçan, Çoratu aiz Paul, letretaco iaquin handiac çoratzen au.

And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.

25 Eta Paulec, Eznauc çoratzen, dio, Festus gucizco excellentea, baina eguiazco eta adimendu onetaco hitzac erraiten citiát.

Then Paul said, I am not off my head, most noble Festus, but my words are true and wise.

26 Ecen baceaquizquic gauça hauc Reguec, ceinen aitzinean minço-ere bainaiz frangoqui: ceren estimatzen baitut gauça hautaric eztela deus harc eztaquianic: ecen gauça haur eztuc çokoan eguin içan.

For the king has knowledge of these things, to whom I am talking freely; being certain that all this is common knowledge to him; for it has not been done in secret.

27 O regue Agrippá, sinhesten dituc Prophetac? baceaquiat ecen sinhesten dituala.

King Agrippa, have you faith in the prophets? I am certain that you have.

28 Eta Agrippac erran cieçón Pauli, Hurrensu gogatzen nauc Christino eguin nadin.

And Agrippa said to Paul, A little more and you will be making me a Christian.

29 Orduan Paulec erran ceçan, Iaincoa baithan desir niquec bay hurrensu bay choil, ez hi solament, baina ni egun ençuten nauten guciac-ere eguin cindeizten halaco, nolaco ni bainaiz, estecaillu hauc salbu.

And Paul said, It is my prayer to God that, in little or great measure, not only you, but all those hearing me today might be even as I am, but for these chains.

30 Eta gauça hauc harc erran cituenean, iaiqui cedin Regue, eta Gobernadorea, eta Bernice, eta hequin iarri içan ciradenac.

And the king and the ruler and Bernice and those who were seated with them got up;

31 Eta appartatu ciradenean bere artean minço ciraden, cioitela, Deus herio edo presoindegui mereci duen gauçaric eztu eguiten guiçon hunec.

And when they had gone away they said to one another, This man has done nothing which might give cause for death or prison.

32 Eta Agrippac Festusi erran cieçón, Larga ahal cieitean guiçon haur baldin appellatu içan ezpaliz Cesargana.

And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been made free, if he had not put his cause before Caesar.
