1 Baina Ananias deitzen cen guiçon batec, Sapphira bere emaztearequin sal ceçan possessionebat:
There was, however, a man named Ananias, who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property,
2 Eta apparta ceçan preciotic partebat, haren emazteac-ere çaquialaric: eta cembeit parte ekarriric, Apostoluén oinetara eçar ceçan.
and, with her connivance, kept back some of the proceeds. He brought only a part and laid it at the Apostles’ feet.
3 Eta erran ceçan Pierrisec, Ananias, cergatic bethe du Satanec hire bihotza Spiritu sainduari gueçur erraitera, eta landaren preciotic appartatzera?
“Ananias,” Peter exclaimed, “how is it that Satan has so taken possession of your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit, and kept back a part of the money paid for the land?
4 Baldin beguiratu bahau etzena hire guelditzen? eta salduric hire botherean etzena? cer cen cergatic gauça hori gogoan eçarri behar auen? eztrauec guiçoney gueçur erran, baina Iaincoari.
While it was unsold, was not it your own? and after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to men, but to God!”
5 Eta Ananias hitz hauc ençunic, eror cedin, eta renda ceçan spiritua: eta beldurtassun handia iar cedin gauça hauc ençuten cituzten gucién gainean.
As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and every one who heard of it was appalled.
6 Eta iaiquiric lagun gazte batzuc har ceçaten hura, eta camporat eramanic ohortz ceçaten.
The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.
7 Eta guertha cedin quasi hirur orenen buruän, haren emaztea-ere, cer eguin cen etzaquialaric, sar baitzedin:
After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 Eta erran cieçón Pierrisec, Erran ieçadan hambatetan landá saldu duçue? Eta harc erran ceçan, Bay, hambatetan.
“Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?” “Yes,” she answered, “we did.”
9 Orduan Pierrisec diotsa, Cer da iunctatu içan baitzarete çuen artean Iaunaren spirituaren tentatzera? horrá, hire senharra ohortze dutenén oinac borthán, eta eramanen aute hi.
Then Peter said: “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The foot-steps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”
10 Eta bertan eror cedin haren oinetara eta renda ceçan spiritua. Eta sarthuric lagun gaztéc eriden ceçaten hura hila, eta camporat eramanic ohortz ceçaten bere senharraren aldean.
Instantly Sapphira fell down at Peter’s feet and expired. On coming in, the young men found her dead; so they carried her out and buried her by her husband’s side.
11 Eta beldurtassun handia eguin cedin Eliça guciaren gainean, eta gauça hauc ençuten cituzten gucién gainean.
The whole Church and all who heard of these events were appalled.
12 Eta Apostoluén escuz eguiten cen anhitz signo eta miraculu populuan: (eta ciraden guciac gogo batetaco Salomonen galerián.
Many signs and wonders continued to occur among the people, through the instrumentality of the Apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon;
13 Eta bercetaric batre etzén venturatzen hequin nahastecatzera: baina magnificatzen cituen hec populuac.
but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,
14 Eta emendatzenago cen Iaunean sinhesten çutenen compainiá, hambat guiçonez nola emaztez)
and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.
15 Hambat non karriquetara ekarten baitzituztén. eriac, eta ohetan eçarten eta licteretan, Pierris ethor ledinean haren itzala berere hetaric cembeiten gainetic iragan ledinçát.
The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on some one of them.
16 Eta biltzen cen hiri hurbiletaco communa-ere Ierusalemera, ekarten cituztela eriac eta spiritu satsuez tormentatuac: eta guciac sendatzen ciraden.
Besides this, the inhabitants of the towns round Jerusalem flocked into the city, bringing with them their sick and those who were troubled by foul spirits; and they were cured every one.
17 Orduan iaiquiric Sacrificadore subiranoa, eta harequin ciraden guciac (cein baita Saddu-ceuen sectá) inuidiaz bethe citecen.
At this the High Priest was roused to action, and he and all his supporters (who formed the party of the Sadducees), moved by jealousy,
18 Eta egotz citzaten escuac Apostoluén gainera, eta eçar citzaten presoindegui publicoan.
arrested the Apostles, and had them placed in custody.
19 Baina Iaunaren Aingueruäc gauaz irequi citzan presoindeguico borthác: eta hec campora idoquiric, erran ceçan,
An angel of the Lord, however, opened the prison doors at night and led them out.
20 Çoazte, eta templean çaudetela declaira ietzoçue populuari vicitze hunetaco hitz guciac.
“Go,” he said, “and stand in the Temple Courts, and tell the people the whole Message of this new Life.”
21 Eta hec haur ençunic far citecen arthatsean templean, eta iracasten ari ciraden. Eta ethorriric Sacrificadore subiranoac, eta harequin ciradenéc bil ceçaten conseillua eta Israeleco haourrén Anciano guciac: eta igor ceçaten presoindeguira erekar litecençát.
When they heard this, they went at daybreak into the Temple Courts, and began to teach. The High Priest and his party, on their arrival, summoned the High Council, including all the leading men among the Israelites, and sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.
22 Baina ethorriric officieréc etzitzaten eriden presoindeguian, eta itzuliric conta ceçaten,
But, when the officers got there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported that,
23 Cioitela, Presoindeguia behinçát eriden dugu ertsia diligentia gucirequin, eta goardác campotic borthén aitzinean ceudela: baina irequi dugunean, nehor eztugu barnean eriden.
while they had found the goal barred securely and the guards posted at the doors, yet, on opening them, they had not found any one inside.
24 Hitz hauc ençun eta, Sacrificadore subiranoa eta templeco Capitaina, eta Sacrificadore principalac, dudán ceuden heçaz cer içanen cen.
When the Officer in charge at the Temple and the Chief Priests heard their story, they were perplexed about the Apostles and as to what all this would lead to.
25 Baina ethorriric cembeitec erran ciecén, Hará, presoindeguian eçarri cintuzten giçonac templean dirade, eta iracasten dute populua.
Presently, however, some one came and told them, that the men whom they had put in prison were actually standing in the Temple Courts, teaching the people.
26 Orduan templeco Capitainac ioanic officierequin ekar citzan bortcha gabe: (ecen po-puluaren beldur ciraden lapida ezlitecen)
On this, the Officer went with his men and fetched the Apostles — without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people —
27 Eta ekarriric hec presenta citzaten conseilluan: eta interroga citzan Sacrificadore subiranoac,
And then brought them before the Council. The High Priest demanded an explanation from them.
28 Cioela, Eztrauçuegu manamendu expressez defendatu etzineçaten iracats icen horretan? eta huná, bethe duçue Ierusaleme çuen doctrináz, eta nahi duçue gure gainera erekarri guiçon horren odola.
“We gave you strict orders,” he said, “not to teach in this Name. Yet you have actually flooded Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to make us responsible for the death of this man.”
29 Orduan ihardesten çuela Pierrisec eta berce Apostoluéc erran ceçaten, Lehen obeditu behar da Iaincoa ecen ez guiçonac.
To this Peter and the Apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than men.
30 Gure Aitén Iaincoac resuscitatu vkan du Iesus, cein çuec çurean vrkaturic hil vkan baituçue.
The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.
31 Haur Iaincoac prince eta saluadore goratu vkan du bere escuinaz, eman lieçonçat emendamendua Israeli eta bekatuén barkamendua.
It is this Jesus whom God has exalted to his right hand, to be a Guide and a Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
32 Eta guc ekarten draucagu testimoniage erraiten ditugun gauça hauçaz: bay eta Spiritu sainduac, cein eman baitraue Iaincoac hura obeditzen duteney.
And we are witness to the truth of this, and so is the Holy Spirit — the gift of God to those who obey him.”
33 Eta hec haur ençunic despitez leher eguiteco ceuden, eta consultatzen çuten hayén hiltzera.
The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the Apostles to death.
34 Orduan iaiquiric conseilluan Phariseu Gamaliel deitzen cen Legueco doctor batec, cein populu guciac ohoratzen baitzuen, mana ceçan lekorerat appurbat retira litecen Apostoluac:
But Gamaliel, a Pharisee, who was a Doctor of the Law and who was held in universal respect, rose in the Council, and directed that the men should be taken out of court for a little while.
35 Guero erran ciecén, Israeltar guiçonác, gogoauçue ceurotara, guiçon hauçaz cer eguinen duçuen.
He then said: “Men of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.
36 Ecen dembora hauc baino lehen altcha cedin Theudas, cioela tiere buruäz cerbait cela, ceini lagund baitzequión guiçon araldebat, laur ehunetarano: cein hil baitzeçaten, eta hari behatu, içan çaizcan guciac hautsi içan dirade eta ezdeus bilhatu.
For not long ago Theudas appeared, professing to be somebody, and was joined by a body of some four hundred men. But he was killed; and all his followers scattered and dwindled away.
37 Haren ondoan altcha cedin Iudas Galileanoa descriptioneco demboretan, eta erauz ceçan populu handi bere ondoan: gal cedin hura-ere, eta hari behatu içan çaizcan guciac deseguin citecen.
After him, Judas the Galilean appeared at the time of the census, and induced people to follow him; Yet he, too, perished and all his followers were dispersed.
38 Eta orain diotsuet, parti çaquiztez guiçon horiey, eta vtzitzaçue: ecen baldin guiçonetaric bada conseillu edo obra hori, deseguinen da:
And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to let them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end;
39 Baina baldin Iaincoaganic bada, ezteçaqueçue deseguin, beguirauçue etzaitezten Iaincoagana contrariant eriden. Eta haren opinioneco içan ciraden.
but, if they are of divine origin, you will be powerless to put an end to them — or else you may find yourselves fighting against God!”
40 Orduan deithuric Apostoluac, açotatu ondoan mana citzaten ezlitecen minça Iesusen icenean, eta vtzi citzaten ioaitera.
The Council followed his advice, and, calling the Apostles in, had them flogged, and then, after cautioning them not to speak in the Name of Jesus, set them free.
41 Hec bada ioan citecen alegueraric conseilluaren aitzinetic, ceren Iesusen icenean iniuria suffritzeco ohore hura eguin içan baitzayen.
But the Apostles left the Council, rejoicing that they had been thought worthy to suffer disgrace for that Name;
42 Eta egun guciaz templean eta etchean etziraden guelditzen iracastetic eta Iesus Christen predicatzetic.
and never for a single day, either in the Temple Courts or in private houses, did they cease to teach, or to tell the Good News of Jesus, the Christ.
