Eginak 26
1 Agrippac orduan Pauli erran cieçón, Permettitzen çaic eure buruägatic minçatzea. Orduan Paul escua hedaturic has cedin raçoin emaiten, cioela,
Yet truly, Agrippa said to Paul, “It is permitted for you to speak for yourself.” Then Paul, extending his hand, began to offer his defense.
2 Regue Agrippá, dohatsu neure buruä estimatzen diat ceren egun hire aitzinean ihardetsi behar baitut, Iuduez accusatzen naicen gauca guciez
“I consider myself blessed, O king Agrippa, that I am to give my defense today before you, about everything of which I am accused by the Jews,
3 Principalqui ceren baitaquit eçagutzen dituala Iuduén artean diraden costuma eta questione guciac: halacotz othoitz eguiten drauat, patientqui ençun néçan.
especially since you know everything that pertains to the Jews, both customs and questions. Because of this, I beg you to listen to me patiently.
4 Bada ene vicitze gaztetassunetic eraman dudanaz den becembatean, eta ceric lehen hatsetic içan den ene nationean Ierusalemen, badaquite Iudu guciéc:
And certainly, all the Jews know about my life from my youth, which had its beginning among my own people in Jerusalem.
5 Lehendanic eçaguturic (baldin testificatu nahi baduté) nola neure aitzinecoacdanic gure religioneco secta gucizco excellentaren arauez vici içan naicen Phariseu.
They knew me well from the beginning, (if they would be willing to offer testimony) for I lived according to the most determined sect of our religion: as a Pharisee.
6 Eta orain Iaincoaz gure aitey eguin içan çayen promesseco sperançaren causaz, iudicioan accusaturic nago.
And now, it is in the hope of the Promise which was made by God to our fathers that I stand subject to judgment.
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.
It is the Promise that our twelve tribes, worshiping night and day, hope to see. About this hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.
8 Cer? sinhets ecin daitenetan daducaçue çuec baithan, Iaincoac hilac ressuscitatzen dituela?
Why should it be judged so unbelievable with you all that God might raise the dead?
9 Eta niçaz den becembatean irudi içan çait ecen Iesus Nazarenoren icenaren contra resistentia handi eguin behar nuela:
And certainly, I myself formerly considered that I ought to act in many ways which are contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.
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.
This is also how I acted at Jerusalem. And so, I enclosed many holy persons in prison, having received authority from the leaders of the priests. And when they were to be killed, I brought the sentence.
11 Eta synagoga gucietan maiz punitzen nituela bortchatzen nituen blasphematzera: eta sobera minthuric hayén contra, persecutatzen nituen hiri arrotzetarano.
And in every synagogue, frequently while punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme. And being all the more maddened against them, I persecuted them, even to foreign cities.
12 Dembora hartan Damascerat-ere ioaiten nincela Sacrificadore principalén botherearequin eta commissionearequin.
Thereafter, as I was going to Damascus, with authority and permission from the high priest,
13 Egunaren erdian, o Regué, bidean ikus nieçán cerutico arguibat iguzquiarena baino claroagoric, arguitzen guentuela ni eta enequin bidean ioaiten ciradenac.
at midday, O king, I and those who were also with me, saw along the way a light from heaven shining around me with a splendor greater than that of the sun.
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 fallen down to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew language: ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goad.’
15 Nic orduan erran nieçán, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta harc erran cieçadán, Ni nauc Iesus hic persecutatzen duana.
Then I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
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 rise up and stand on your feet. For I appeared to you for this reason: so that I may establish you as a minister and a witness concerning the things that you have seen, and concerning the things that I will show to you:
17 Idoquiten audalaric populu horretaric eta Gentiletaric, ceinetara orain igorten baihaut,
rescuing you from the people and the nations to which I am now sending 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.
in order to open their eyes, so that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive the remission of sins and a place among the saints, through the faith that is in me.’
19 Hunegatic, o Regue Agrippá, eznitzayoc desobedient içan cerutico visioneari.
From then on, O king Agrippa, I was not unbelieving to the heavenly vision.
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 preached, first to those who are at Damascus and at Jerusalem, and then to the entire region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, so that they would repent and convert to God, doing the works that are worthy of repentance.
21 Causa hunegatic Iuduac ni templean hatzamanic enseyatu içan dituc ene hiltzen:
It was for this reason that the Jews, having apprehended me when I was in the temple, attempted to kill me.
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:
But having been aided by the help of God, even to this day, I stand witnessing to the small and the great, saying nothing beyond what the Prophets and Moses have said would be in the future:
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 suffer, and that he would be the first from the resurrection of the dead, and that he would bring light to the people and to the nations.”
24 Eta gauça hauc bere defensatan erraiten cituela Festusec ocengui erran ceçan, Çoratu aiz Paul, letretaco iaquin handiac çoratzen au.
While he was speaking these things and presenting his defense, Festus said with a loud voice: “Paul, you are insane! Too much studying has turned you to insanity.”
25 Eta Paulec, Eznauc çoratzen, dio, Festus gucizco excellentea, baina eguiazco eta adimendu onetaco hitzac erraiten citiát.
And Paul said: “I am not insane, most excellent Festus, but rather I am speaking words of truth and sobriety.
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 knows about these things. To him also, I am speaking with constancy. For I think that none of these things are unknown to him. And neither were these things done in a corner.
27 O regue Agrippá, sinhesten dituc Prophetac? baceaquiat ecen sinhesten dituala.
Do you believe the Prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that you believe.”
28 Eta Agrippac erran cieçón Pauli, Hurrensu gogatzen nauc Christino eguin nadin.
Then Agrippa said to Paul, “To some extent, you persuade me to become 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, “I hope to God that, both to a small extent and to a great extent, not only you, but also all those who hear me this day will become just as I also am, except 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 rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them.
31 Eta appartatu ciradenean bere artean minço ciraden, cioitela, Deus herio edo presoindegui mereci duen gauçaric eztu eguiten guiçon hunec.
And when they had withdrawn, they were speaking among themselves, saying, “This man has done nothing worthy of death, nor of imprisonment.”
32 Eta Agrippac Festusi erran cieçón, Larga ahal cieitean guiçon haur baldin appellatu içan ezpaliz Cesargana.
Then Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released, if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
