Eginak 28
1 Eta salburic emparatu ciradenean, eçagut ceçaten orduan ecen islá Malte deitzen cela.
Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered that the island was called Malta.
2 Eta Barbaroéc humanitate handi eguin cieçagutén: ecen sua vizturic recebi guençaten gu guciac, gaineancen çaicun vriagatic, eta hotzagatic.
The strange-speaking natives showed us remarkable kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome because of the pelting rain and the cold.
3 Bildu çuenean bada Paulec cembeit sirmendu appur, eta eçarri cituenean sura, viperabat beroaren causaz ilkiric lot cequión escutic.
Now, when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and had thrown them on the fire, a viper, driven by the heat, came out and fastened itself on his 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.
When the natives saw the creature hanging to his hand, they said to one another, "Beyond doubt this man is a murderer, for, though saved from the sea, unerring Justice does not permit him to live."
5 Baina harc bestiá sura iharrossiric etzeçan minic har.
He, however, shook the reptile off into the fire and was unhurt.
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.
They expected him soon to swell with inflammation or suddenly fall down dead; but, after waiting a long time and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
7 Eta ciraden leku hartan islaco principal Publio deitzen cenaren possessioneac, ceinec gu recebituric, hirur egunez benignoqui logea baiquençan.
Now in the same part of the island there were estates belonging to the Governor, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us to his house, and for three days generously made us his guests.
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.
It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.
9 Bada haur eguin eta, islaco berce eritassunic çutenac-ere ethorten ciraden eta sendatzen.
After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.
10 Hec-ere ohore handi eguin cieçagutén, eta embarcatzeracoan behar cenaz forni guençaten.
They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.
11 Eta hirur hilebetheren buruän embarca guentecen Alexandriaco vnci islán neguä iragan çuen batetan, ceinec baitzituen enseignatzat Castor eta Pollux.
Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the 'Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.
12 Eta Syracusara arriuaturic, han egon guentecen hirur egun.
At Syracuse we put in and stayed for two days.
13 Handic inguru eguinic arriua guentecen Rhegera: eta egun-baten buruän egu-erdi haicea iaiquiric, bigarren egunean ethor guentecen Puzolera:
From there we came round and reached Rhegium; and a day later, a south wind sprang up which brought us by the evening of the next day to Puteoli.
14 Han anayeac eridenic, othoiztu içan guenén egoitera hequin çazpi egun: eta hala ethor guentecen Romara.
Here we found brethren, who invited us to remain with them for a week; and so we reached 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.
Meanwhile the brethren there, hearing of our movements, came as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Huts to meet us; and when Paul saw them he thanked God and felt encouraged.
16 Eta ethorri içan guenenean Romara, Centenerac eman cietzón capitain generalari presonerac: baina permetti cequión Pauli bere gain egoitera, hura beguiratzen çuen gendarmesarequin.
Upon our arrival in Rome, Paul received permission to live by himself, guarded by a soldier.
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 one complete day he invited the leading men among the Jews to meet him; and, when they were come together, he said to them, "As for me, brethren, although I had done nothing prejudicial to our people or contrary to the customs of our forefathers, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the power of the Romans.
18 Ceinéc examinatu nendutenean largatu nahi vkan bainendutén, ceren heriotaco hoguenic batre nitan etzén.
They, after they had sharply questioned me, were willing to set me at liberty, because they found no offence in me for which I deserve to die.
19 Baina Iuduac contrastatzen ciradenaren gainean, ecin bercez Cesargana appellatu içan naiz: ez neure nationea cerçaz accusa deçadan dudalacotz.
But, at last, the opposition of the Jews compelled me to appeal to Caesar; not however that I had any charge to bring against my nation.
20 Causa hunegatic bada deithu çaituztet, ikus cinçatedan eta minça nenguiçuençát: ecen Israeleco sperançaren causaz cadena hunez inguratua nago.
For these reasons, then, I have invited you here, that I might see you and speak to you; for it is for the sake of Him who is the hope of Israel that this chain hangs upon me."
21 Eta hec erran cieçoten, Guc ez letraric recebitu diagu hiçaz Iudeatic: ez ethorriric anayetaric nehorc denuntiatu dic edo erran deus hiçaz gaizquiric.
"For our part," they replied, "we have not received any letters from Judaea about you, nor have any of our countrymen come here and reported or stated anything to your disadvantage.
22 Baina nahi diagu hireganic ençun cer irudi ceyán: ecen secta horrez den becembatean, baceaquiagu ecen leku gucietan nehor contrastatzen çayola.
But we should be glad to hear from you what it is that you believe; for as for this sect all we know is that it is everywhere spoken against."
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 arranged a day with him and came to him in considerable numbers at the house of the friends who were entertaining him. And then, with solemn earnestness, he explained to them the subject of the Kingdom of God, endeavouring from morning till evening to convince them about Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
24 Eta batzuc sinhesten cituztén erraiten ciraden gauçác, baina bercéc etzituzten sinhesten.
Some were convinced; others refused to believe.
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,
Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, "Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:
26 Cioela, Habil populu horrengana, eta errac, Ençutez ençunen duçue eta eztuçue adituren: eta dacussaçuela ikussiren duçue eta etzaizquiote oharturen.
"'Go to this people and tell them, you will hear and hear, and by no means understand; and will look and look, and by no means see.
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.
For this people's mind has grown callous, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might cure them.'
28 Iaquiçue bada çuec ecen Gentiley igorri içan çayela saluagarri haur, eta hec ençunen dutela.
"Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation--God's salvation--has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed."
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:
After this Paul lived for fully two years in a hired house of his own, receiving all who came to see him.
31 Predicatzen çuela Iaincoaren resumá, eta iracasten cituela Iesus Christ Iaunaz diraden gauçác, minçatzeco hardieça gucirequin, nehorc empatchuric eguin gabe.
He announced the coming of the Kingdom of God, and taught concerning the Lord Jesus Christ without let or hindrance.
