1 Baina hec populuari minço çaizcala, ethor cequiztén Sacrificadoreac eta templeco Capitaina, eta Sadduceuac,
While Peter and John were still speaking to the people, the chief priest, with the officer in charge at the Temple and the Sadducees, came up to them,
2 Gaitzituric ceren iracasten baitzutén populua, eta predicatzen baitzutén Iesusen icenean hiletarico resurrectionea.
much annoyed because they were teaching the people, and because, through Jesus, they were preaching the resurrection from the dead.
3 Eta escuac egotz citzaten hayén gainera, eta eçar citzaten presoindeguian biharamunerano. Ecen ia arratsa cen.
They arrested the apostles and, as it was already evening, had them placed in custody until the next day.
4 Eta hitza ençun çutenetaric anhitzec sinhets ceçaten: eta guiçonén contua eguin cedin borz millatarano.
Many, however, of those who had heard the apostles’ message became believers in Christ, the number of the men alone amounting to about five thousand.
5 Eta guertha cedin biharamunean bil baitzitecen hayén Gobernadoreac eta Ancianoac eta Scribác Ierusalemera:
The next day, a meeting of the leaders of the people, the elders, and the teachers of the Law was held in Jerusalem.
6 Eta Annas Sacrificadore subiranoa, eta Caiphas eta Ioannes, eta Alexander, eta Sacrificadorén arraçatic ciraden guciac.
There were present Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were of High-Priestly rank.
7 Eta artean eçarri cituztenean, interroga citzaten, Cer botherez edo noren icenean gauça haur eguin duçue çuec?
They had Peter and John brought before them, and questioned them. “By what power,” they asked, “Or in whose name have men like you done this thing?”
8 Orduan Pierrisec Spiritu sainduaz hetheric, erran ciecen, Populuaren Gobernadoreác eta Israeleco Ancianoác,
Then, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, “Leaders of the people and elders,
9 Egungo egunean guiçon impotent bati eguin içan çayón vnguiaz examinatzen garenaz gueroz, cer moienez haur sendatu içan den:
since we are on our trial today for a kind act done to a helpless man, and are asked in what way the man here before you has been cured,
10 Iaquiçue çuec gucioc eta Israeleco populu guciac, ecen Iesus Christ Nazarenoren icenean cein çuec crucificatu baituçue, cein Iaincoac resuscitatu baitu hiletaric, harçaz guiçon haur dagoela sendoric çuen aitzinean.
let me tell you all and all the people of Israel, that it is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead – it is, I say, by his name that this man stands here before you lame no longer.
11 Haur da harri çueçaz edificaçaleoz arbuyatu içan den hura, cein eguin içan baita cantoin buru.
Jesus is ‘the stone which, scorned by you the builders, has yet become the corner stone.’
12 Eta ezta bercetan batetan-ere saluamenduric: ecen berce icenic ezta ceruären azpian guiçoney eman çayenic, ceinez saluatu behar garén.
And salvation is in him alone; for there is no other name in the whole world, given to people, to which we must look for our salvation.”
13 Orduan ikussiric Pierrisen minçatzeco hardieçá eta Ioannesena, eta eçaguturic ecen guiçon letra-gabeac eta idiotac ciradela, miresten çutén, eta eçagutzen çutén hec Iesusequin içanac ciradela.
When the Council saw how boldly Peter and John spoke, and found that they were uneducated men of humble station, they were surprised, and realized that they had been companions of Jesus.
14 Eta çacussatenean sendatu içan cen guiçona hequin present cela, ecin deusetan contrasta ahal citaqueen.
But, when they looked at the man who had been healed, standing there with them, they had nothing to say.
15 Orduan hec conseillutic campora ilkitera manaturic: compartitzen çutén elkarren artean,
So they ordered them out of court, and then began consulting together.
16 Cioitela, Cer eguinen drauègu guiçon hoey? ecen signo clarobat hauçaz eguin içan dela, manifest da Ierusalemeco habitant guciey, eta ecin vka deçaquegu.
“What are we to do to these men?” they asked one another. “That a remarkable sign has been given through them is obvious to everyone living in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
17 Baina guehiagoric publica eztadin populuaren artean, defenda diecegun mehatchuz, eztaquizquión guehiagoric minça icen horretan nehori-ere.
But, to prevent this thing from spreading further among the people, let us warn them not to speak in this name any more to anyone whatever.”
18 Bada hec deithuric mana citzaten neholetan-ere ezlitecen minça, eta ezleçaten iracats Iesusen icenean.
So they called the apostles in, and ordered them not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Baina Pierrisec eta Ioannesec ihardesten çutela erran ciecén, Eya Iaincoaren aitzinean gauça iustoa denez lehen çuey obeditzea ecen ez Iaincoari, iugea eçaçue.
But Peter and John replied, “Whether it is right, in the sight of God, to listen to you rather than to him – judge for yourselves,
20 Ecen segur, ecin daidiquegu ençun eta ikussi ditugun gauçác erran eztitzagun.
for we cannot help speaking of what we have seen and heard.”
21 Orduan hec mehatchurequin vtzi citzaten ioaitera, ez eridenez nolatan puni ahal litzaqueizten, populuaren causaz, ceren guciéc Iaincoa glorificatzen baitzutén eguin içan cenaz.
However, after further warnings, the Council set them at liberty, not seeing any safe way of punishing them, because of the people, for they were all praising God for what had occurred;
22 Ecen berroguey vrthe baino guehiago cituen guiçonac, ceinen gainean sendatzeco signo haur eguin içan baitzén.
for the man who was the subject of this miraculous cure was more than forty years old.
23 Eta ioaitera vtzi cituztenean ethor citecen bere gendetara, eta conta ciecén cer-ere Sacrificadore principaléc eta Ancianoéc erran baitzerauècén.
After they had been set at liberty, the apostles went to their friends and told them what the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 Eta hec ençun cituztenean gogo batez altcha ceçaten voza Iaincoagana, eta erran ceçaten, Iauna, hi aiz ceruä eta lurra, itsassoa eta hetan diraden gauça guciac eguin dituán Iaincoa,
All who heard their story, moved by a common impulse, raised their voices to God in prayer: “Sovereign Lord, it is you who has made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them,
25 Dauid eure cerbitzariaren ahoz erran duana, Cergatic mutinatu içan dirade gendeac, eta populuéc pensatu vkan dituzté gauça vanoac?
and who, by the lips of our ancestor, your servant David, who spoke under the influence of the Holy Spirit, have said – ‘Why did the nations rage, and the peoples form vain designs?
26 Bildu içan dirade lurreco regueac, eta princeac elkarrequin bathu içan dirade Iaunaren eta haren Christen contra.
The kings of the earth set their array, and its rulers gathered together, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
27 Ecen bildu içan dituc eguiaz hire seme saindu Iesusen contra, cein vnctatu baituc, Herodes eta Ponce Pilate Gentilequin eta Israeleco populuarequin.
There have indeed gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you has consecrated the Christ, not Herod and Pontius Pilate only, but the nations and the people of Israel besides –
28 Eguin leçatençát cer-ere hire escuac eta hire conseilluac lehenetic eguitera determinatu baitzuen.
yet only to do what you, by your power and of your own will, did long ago destine to be done.
29 Orain bada Iauna, beha eçac hayén mehatchuetara, eta eman iecéc eure cerbitzariey libertate gucirequin hire hitzaz minça ditecen:
Now, therefore, Lord, mark their threats, and enable your servants, with all fearlessness, to tell your message,
30 Eure escua hedaturic ossassun emaitera, signoac eta miraculuac eguin ditecen Iesus hire Seme Sainduaren icenean.
while you stretch out your hand to heal, and cause signs and wonders to take place through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
31 Eta othoitz eguin çutenean, ikara cedin lekua ceinetan bilduac baitziraden: eta bethe citecen guciac Spiritu sainduaz, eta minçatzen ciraden Iaincoaren hitzaz hardieçarequin.
When their prayer was ended, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to tell God’s message fearlessly.
32 Eta aralde sinhetsi vkan çutenén bihotza eta arimá cen bat: eta nehorc posseditzen cituen gaucetaric etzuen erraiten deus bereric çuela, baina gauça guciac cituztén commun.
The whole body of those who had become believers in Christ were of one heart and mind. Not one of them claimed any of his goods as his own, but everything was held for the common use.
33 Apostoluec-ere verthute handitan testificatzen çutén Iesus Iaunaren resurrectioneaz, eta gratia handia cen bayen gucién gainean.
The apostles continued with great power to bear their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s blessing rested on them all abundantly.
34 Ecen nehorc deusen beharric etzuen hayén artean: ceren landaric edo etcheric çuten guciéc saltzen baitzituztén, eta saldu içan ciraden gaucén precioa ekarten baitzutén
Nor was there anyone in need among them, for all who were owners of land or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the sales
35 Eta eçarten Apostoluén oinetara: eta partitzen çayón batbederari, beharra çuenaren araura.
and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and then everyone received a share in proportion to his wants.
36 Iosesec bada, cein icen goiticoz dei baitzedin Apostoluéz Barnabas (erran nahi baita consolationezco semea) Leuitác, nationez Cyprianoac,
A Levite of Cyprian birth, named Joseph, (who had received from the apostles the additional name of ‘Barnabas’ – which means ‘The Consoler,’)
37 Possessionebat nola baitzuen sal ceçan hura, eta ekarriric diruä eçar ceçan Apostoluén oinetara.
Sold a farm that belonged to him, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
