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, It is permitted thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching out his hand answered in his defence:
2 Regue Agrippá, dohatsu neure buruä estimatzen diat ceren egun hire aitzinean ihardetsi behar baitut, Iuduez accusatzen naicen gauca guciez
I count myself happy, king Agrippa, in having to answer to-day before thee concerning all 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 because thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions which are among the Jews; wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4 Bada ene vicitze gaztetassunetic eraman dudanaz den becembatean, eta ceric lehen hatsetic içan den ene nationean Ierusalemen, badaquite Iudu guciéc:
My manner of life then from my youth, which from its commencement was passed among my nation in Jerusalem, know all the Jews,
5 Lehendanic eçaguturic (baldin testificatu nahi baduté) nola neure aitzinecoacdanic gure religioneco secta gucizco excellentaren arauez vici içan naicen Phariseu.
who knew me before from the outset [of my life], if they would bear witness, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 Eta orain Iaincoaz gure aitey eguin içan çayen promesseco sperançaren causaz, iudicioan accusaturic nago.
And now I stand to be judged because of the hope of the promise made by God 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.
to which our whole twelve tribes serving incessantly day and night hope to arrive; about which hope, O king, I am accused of [the] Jews.
8 Cer? sinhets ecin daitenetan daducaçue çuec baithan, Iaincoac hilac ressuscitatzen dituela?
Why should it be judged a thing incredible in your sight if God raises the dead?
9 Eta niçaz den becembatean irudi içan çait ecen Iesus Nazarenoren icenaren contra resistentia handi eguin behar nuela:
I indeed myself thought that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazaraean.
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.
Which also I did in Jerusalem, and myself shut up in prisons many of the saints, having received the authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote.
11 Eta synagoga gucietan maiz punitzen nituela bortchatzen nituen blasphematzera: eta sobera minthuric hayén contra, persecutatzen nituen hiri arrotzetarano.
And often punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And, being exceedingly furious against them, I persecuted them even to cities out [of our own land].
12 Dembora hartan Damascerat-ere ioaiten nincela Sacrificadore principalén botherearequin eta commissionearequin.
And when, [engaged] in this, I was journeying to Damascus, with authority and power from the chief priests,
13 Egunaren erdian, o Regué, bidean ikus nieçán cerutico arguibat iguzquiarena baino claroagoric, arguitzen guentuela ni eta enequin bidean ioaiten ciradenac.
at mid-day, on the way, I saw, O king, a light above the brightness of the sun, shining from heaven round about 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 were all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against goads.
15 Nic orduan erran nieçán, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta harc erran cieçadán, Ni nauc Iesus hic persecutatzen duana.
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
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 thy feet; for, for this purpose have I appeared to thee, to appoint thee to be a servant and a witness both of what thou hast seen, and of what I shall appear to thee in,
17 Idoquiten audalaric populu horretaric eta Gentiletaric, ceinetara orain igorten baihaut,
taking thee out from among the people, and the nations, to whom I send thee,
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 open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.
19 Hunegatic, o Regue Agrippá, eznitzayoc desobedient içan cerutico visioneari.
Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient 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 have, first to those both in Damascus and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judaea, and to the nations, announced that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
21 Causa hunegatic Iuduac ni templean hatzamanic enseyatu içan dituc ene hiltzen:
On account of these things the Jews, having seized me in the temple, attempted to lay hands on and destroy 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:
Having therefore met with [the] help which is from God, I have stood firm unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing else than those things which both the prophets and Moses have said should happen,
23 Ecen behar cela Christec suffri leçan, eta hilén resurrectioneco lehena licén, ceinec populu huni eta Gentiley arguia denuntiatu behar baitzerauen.
[namely, ] whether Christ should suffer; whether he first, through resurrection of [the] dead, should announce light both 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.
And as he answered for his defence with these things, Festus says with a loud voice, Thou art mad, Paul; much learning turns thee to madness.
25 Eta Paulec, Eznauc çoratzen, dio, Festus gucizco excellentea, baina eguiazco eta adimendu onetaco hitzac erraiten citiát.
But Paul said, I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but utter words of truth and soberness;
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 is informed about these things, to whom also I speak with all freedom. For I am persuaded that of these things nothing is hidden from him; for this was not done in a corner.
27 O regue Agrippá, sinhesten dituc Prophetac? baceaquiat ecen sinhesten dituala.
King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Eta Agrippac erran cieçón Pauli, Hurrensu gogatzen nauc Christino eguin nadin.
And Agrippa [said] to Paul, In a little thou persuadest 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 would to God, both in little and in much, that not only thou, but all who have heard me this day, should become such as I also am, except these bonds.
30 Eta gauça hauc harc erran cituenean, iaiqui cedin Regue, eta Gobernadorea, eta Bernice, eta hequin iarri içan ciradenac.
And the king stood up, and the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them,
31 Eta appartatu ciradenean bere artean minço ciraden, cioitela, Deus herio edo presoindegui mereci duen gauçaric eztu eguiten guiçon hunec.
and having gone apart, they spoke to one another saying, This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
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 let go if he had not appealed to Caesar.
