1 Eta salburic emparatu ciradenean, eçagut ceçaten orduan ecen islá Malte deitzen cela.
After we [(exc)] had arrived safely [on the shore], we learned that it was an island called Malta.
2 Eta Barbaroéc humanitate handi eguin cieçagutén: ecen sua vizturic recebi guençaten gu guciac, gaineancen çaicun vriagatic, eta hotzagatic.
The people who lived there received us kindly. They lit a fire and invited us to come and warm ourselves, because it was raining and it was cold.
3 Bildu çuenean bada Paulec cembeit sirmendu appur, eta eçarri cituenean sura, viperabat beroaren causaz ilkiric lot cequión escutic.
Paul gathered some sticks and put them on the fire. But [among those sticks was] a snake that had come out [from the fire to escape] from the heat, and it fastened itself on Paul’s hand.
4 Eta ikussi vkan çutenean Barbaroéc dilindoca bestiá haren escutic, elkarri ciotsaten, Falta gabe guiçon haur guicerhaile da, cein itsassotic, emparaturic mendequioac ezpaitu permettitzen vici den.
[The islanders knew that the snake was poisonous, so] when they saw it hanging from Paul’s hand, they said to each other, “Probably this man has murdered someone. Although he has escaped from being drowned, [the god] ([who] pays [people back/who punishes people]) for their [MTY] sins will cause him to die.”
5 Baina harc bestiá sura iharrossiric etzeçan minic har.
But Paul simply shook the snake off into the fire, and nothing happened to him.
6 Eta hec beha ceuden noiz hant leiten, edo subitoqui hilic eror leiten: baina luçaqui beha egon içan ciradenean, eta çacussatenean calteric batre etzayola ethorten, proposa cambiaturic erraiten çutén, Iainco cela hura.
The people were expecting that Paul’s body would soon swell up or that he would suddenly fall down and die. But after they had waited a long time, they saw [that the snake] had not harmed him [at all]. So then the people changed their minds and said [to one another], “This man is not a murderer! Probably he is a god!”
7 Eta ciraden leku hartan islaco principal Publio deitzen cenaren possessioneac, ceinec gu recebituric, hirur egunez benignoqui logea baiquençan.
Near where the people had made the fire, there were some fields that belonged to a man whose name was Publius. He was the chief official on the island. He invited us to [come and stay in] his home. He took care of us for three days.
8 Eta guertha cedin Publioren aita baitzatzan helgaitzéc eta sabeldarçunac çaducatela: hura baithara Paul sar cedin, eta othoitz eguinic, eta escuac haren gainean eçarriric senda ceçan.
[At that time] Publius’ father had a fever and dysentery, and he was lying [in bed]. So Paul visited him and prayed [for him. Then] Paul placed his hands on him and healed him.
9 Bada haur eguin eta, islaco berce eritassunic çutenac-ere ethorten ciraden eta sendatzen.
After Paul had done that, the other people on the island who were sick came [to him] and [he] healed them, too.
10 Hec-ere ohore handi eguin cieçagutén, eta embarcatzeracoan behar cenaz forni guençaten.
They brought us gifts and [showed in other ways that] they greatly respected us. When we were [ready] to leave [three months later], they brought us food and other things that we would need [for the trip].
11 Eta hirur hilebetheren buruän embarca guentecen Alexandriaco vnci islán neguä iragan çuen batetan, ceinec baitzituen enseignatzat Castor eta Pollux.
After [we had stayed there] three months, we [got on] a ship [that was going to Italy and] sailed away. The ship had been in [a harbor on] the island during the months when there are many storms. It had come from Alexandria [city]. On the front of the ship there were carved images of the twin gods [whose names were Castor and Pollux].
12 Eta Syracusara arriuaturic, han egon guentecen hirur egun.
We [sailed from the island and] arrived at Syracuse [city on Sicily island] and stayed there three days.
13 Handic inguru eguinic arriua guentecen Rhegera: eta egun-baten buruän egu-erdi haicea iaiquiric, bigarren egunean ethor guentecen Puzolera:
Then we traveled on by ship and arrived at Rhegium [port in Italy]. The next day, the wind was blowing from behind us, [so we sailed along fast]. The day after that, we reached Puteoli [town, where we left the ship].
14 Han anayeac eridenic, othoiztu içan guenén egoitera hequin çazpi egun: eta hala ethor guentecen Romara.
In Puteoli we met some believers who invited us to stay with them for a week. [After visiting them], we [left there and started to travel by land] to Rome.
15 Handic anayeac gure berriac ençunic bidera ilki cequizquigun Appioren merkaturano, eta Hirur botiguetarano: hec ikussi cituenean Paulec, Iaincoari esquerrac rendaturic courage har ceçan.
[A group of] believers [who lived in Rome] had heard that we [(exc) were coming]. So they came out [from Rome] to meet us. [Some of] them met us at [the town called] ‘The Market on Appian [Road’, ] and others met us at [the town called] ‘The Three Inns’. When Paul saw those believers, he thanked God and was encouraged.
16 Eta ethorri içan guenenean Romara, Centenerac eman cietzón capitain generalari presonerac: baina permetti cequión Pauli bere gain egoitera, hura beguiratzen çuen gendarmesarequin.
After we [(exc)] arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted {[a Roman official who was responsible for guarding Paul] permitted Paul} to live [in a house] by himself. But [there was always] a soldier there to guard him.
17 Hirur egunen buruän dei citzan Paulec Iudu principalac: eta bildu ciradenean erran ciecén, Guiçon anayeác, nic deus eguin ezpadut-ere populuaren contra edo aitén costumén contra, Ierusalemen presonér eguin içanic liuratu içan naiz Romanoén escuetara:
After [Paul had been there] three days, he sent a message to the Jewish leaders [to come and talk with him. So] they came, and Paul said to them, “My fellow Jews, although I have not opposed our people nor spoken against the customs of our ancestors, [our leaders] in Jerusalem [seized] [MTY] [me. But before they could kill me, a Roman commander rescued me and later sent me] to Caesarea for Roman [authorities/officials to put me on trial].
18 Ceinéc examinatu nendutenean largatu nahi vkan bainendutén, ceren heriotaco hoguenic batre nitan etzén.
The Roman authorities/officials questioned me and wanted to release me, because I had not done any [bad] thing for which I should be executed {they should kill me}.
19 Baina Iuduac contrastatzen ciradenaren gainean, ecin bercez Cesargana appellatu içan naiz: ez neure nationea cerçaz accusa deçadan dudalacotz.
But when the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there opposed [what the Roman authorities wanted to do], I had to formally request that the Emperor [judge me here in Rome]. But my reason for doing that was not that I wanted to accuse our leaders about anything.
20 Causa hunegatic bada deithu çaituztet, ikus cinçatedan eta minça nenguiçuençát: ecen Israeleco sperançaren causaz cadena hunez inguratua nago.
So I have requested you [to come] here so that I can tell you why I am a prisoner. It is because I believe in [MTY] our Messiah, the one [God long ago promised to send] to us [(inc)] Jews.”
21 Eta hec erran cieçoten, Guc ez letraric recebitu diagu hiçaz Iudeatic: ez ethorriric anayetaric nehorc denuntiatu dic edo erran deus hiçaz gaizquiric.
Then [the Jewish leaders] said, “We [(exc)] have not received any letters from [our fellow Jews] in Judea about you. Also, none of our fellow Jews who have arrived [here from Judea] has said anything bad about you.
22 Baina nahi diagu hireganic ençun cer irudi ceyán: ecen secta horrez den becembatean, baceaquiagu ecen leku gucietan nehor contrastatzen çayola.
But we [(exc)] want to hear what you [(sg)] think about this [Christian] sect/group, because we know that in many places [HYP] bad things are being said {people are saying bad things} about it.”
23 Eta assignatu vkan ceraucatenean eguna, ethor citecen harengana ostatura anhitz: eta testificationerequin declaratzen cerauen Iaincoaren resumá, eta eracusten cerauztén Iesusez diraden gauçác, hambat Moysesen Leguetic nola Prophetetaric goicetic arratserano.
So they [talked with Paul and decided that they would come back on another day to hear him. When that day arrived], those Jews came back to the place where Paul was staying, and they brought more Jews with them. Paul talked to them from morning until evening. He talked to them about how God wants to rule [people’s lives] [MET]. He tried to convince them that Jesus [is the Messiah] by reminding them what Moses and the other prophets had written [MTY].
24 Eta batzuc sinhesten cituztén erraiten ciraden gauçác, baina bercéc etzituzten sinhesten.
Some of those Jews believed that what was said [by Paul] {what [Paul] said} about Jesus [was true], but others did not believe [that it was true].
25 Eta elkarren artean accord etziradenaren gainean, parti citecen, Paulec hitz haur erran eta, Segurqui vngui Spiritu saindua minçatu içan çaye Esaias prophetáz gure Aitey,
So they began to argue with one another. [Paul realized that some of them did not want to listen to him, so] when they were about to leave, he said, “The Holy Spirit said something to your/our(incl) ancestors. He spoke these words to Isaiah the prophet, [and what he said is also true about you]:
26 Cioela, Habil populu horrengana, eta errac, Ençutez ençunen duçue eta eztuçue adituren: eta dacussaçuela ikussiren duçue eta etzaizquiote oharturen.
Go to your fellow Israelites and tell them, ‘You repeatedly listen [to the message of God], but you never understand [what God is saying]. You repeatedly look at and see [the things that God is doing], but you never understand [what they mean].
27 Ecen guicendu da populu hunen bihotza, eta beharriez gothorqui ençun vkan duté, eta bere beguiac ertsi vkan dituzté: beguiéz ikus, eta beharriez ençun, eta bihotzez adi ez teçatençát, eta conuerti ez titecen, eta senda ez titzadan.
God also said to the prophet, These people do not understand, because they have become stubborn. They have ears, but they do not understand what they hear, and they have closed their eyes [because they do not want to see]. If they wanted to obey what I say to them, they might understand what they see [me doing] and what they hear [me saying]. Then they might turn from their sinful behavior and I would save them.’
28 Iaquiçue bada çuec ecen Gentiley igorri içan çayela saluagarri haur, eta hec ençunen dutela.
[That is what God said to the prophet Isaiah about our ancestors. But you Jews today do not want to believe God’s message]. Therefore, I am telling you that [God] has sent to the non-Jews this message about how he saves people, and they will listen [and accept it]!”
29 Eta gauça hauc erran cituenean, ilki citecen Iuduac, bere artean disputa handi çutela.
30 Baina egon cedin Paul bi vrthe complituric bere ostatu alocatuan: eta recebitzen cituen harengana ethorten ciraden guciac:
For two whole years Paul stayed [there] in a house that he rented. Many people came to see him, and he received them all gladly [and talked with them].
31 Predicatzen çuela Iaincoaren resumá, eta iracasten cituela Iesus Christ Iaunaz diraden gauçác, minçatzeco hardieça gucirequin, nehorc empatchuric eguin gabe.
He preached [and taught people] about how God could rule [their lives] [MET] and taught them about the Lord Jesus Christ. He did that without being afraid, and no one tried to stop him.
