1 Eta Saul consent cen haren hiltzean. Eta eguin cedin dembora hartan persecutione handi Ierusalemen cen Eliçaren contra: eta guciac barreya citecen Iudeaco eta Samariaco comarquetarát, salbu Apostoluac.
With these words he fell asleep. And Saul fully approved of his murder. On this very day there broke out a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostle were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
2 Eta eraman ceçaten Esteben ohorztera Iaincoaren beldurra çuten guiçon batzuc, eta nigar handi eguin ceçaten haren gainean.
Devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentations over him.
3 Eta Saulec deseguiten çuen Eliçá, etchez etche sartzen cela: eta tiratuz bortchaz guiçonac eta emazteac presoindeguian eçarten cituen.
But Saul was laying waste the church. He was wont to enter into every house, and to drag off men and women, and to commit them to prison.
4 Bada barreyatu içan ciradenac baçabiltzan hara huna, Iaincoaren hitza denunciatzen çutela.
So those who were scattered abroad were going everywhere preaching the word.
5 Eta Philippec iautsiric Samariaco hiri batetara, predica ciecén Christ.
Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and began to preach Christ there.
6 Eta populua gogo batez behatzen çayon Philippec erraiten çuenari, ençuten eta ikusten cituztela eguiten cituen signoac.
The crowd with one accord were giving heed to what he said, when they heard and saw the signs that he did.
7 Ecen spiritu satsuác, heçaz eduquiten ciradenetaric anhitzetaric ilkiten ciraden, ocengui oihuz ceudela: eta anhitz paralytico eta maingu senda cedin.
For with a loud cry unclean spirits would come out of many possessed by them, and many that were palsied and lame were healed.
8 Eta alegrança handi eguin cedin hiri hartan.
There began to be great joy in that city.
9 Eta Simon deitzen cen guiçombat cen, lehendanic hirian encantamenduz vsatzen çuenic, eta Samariaco populua encantatu çuenic, cioela bere buruäz cembeit personage handi cela.
Now for some time a man named Simon had been practising sorcery in that city, and had amazed the people of Samaria. He gave himself out to be some great person.
10 Ceini behatzen baitzaizquión chipienetic handieneranoco guciac, cioitela, Haur da Iaincoaren verthute handi hura.
Many from all classes would give heed to him, declaring, "This man is the Power of God, known as the Great Power."
11 Eta hari beha çaizcan ceren dembora lucez encantamenduz adimendutaric erauci baitzituen.
They were giving heed to him because, for a long time, he had amazed them with his sorceries.
12 Baina Philippe sinhetsi çutenean, ceinec denuntiatzen baitzituen Iaincoaren resumari eta Iesus Christen icenari appertenitzen çaizcan gauçác, batheyatzen ciraden bay guiçonac bay emazteac.
But when they believed Philip, who was preaching glad tidings about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they began to be baptized, both men and women.
13 Eta Simonec berac-ere sinhets ceçan, eta batheyatuz gueroztic Philipperen aldetic etzén higuitzen: eta eguiten ciraden signoac eta verthuteac ikusten cituenean, spantatzen cen.
And Simon himself also believed, and after his baptism he remained with Philip, and was full of amazement as he beheld the signs and striking miracles which were performed.
14 Eta ençun çutenean Ierusalemen ciraden Apostoluéc, nola Samariac recebitu çuen Iaincoaren hitza, igor citzaten hetara Pierris eta Ioannes.
The apostle at Jerusalem, when they heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, sent to them Peter and John.
15 Hauc hara iautsi içan ciradenean othoitz eguin ceçaten hecgatic, recebi leçatençát Spiritu saindua.
Who came down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
16 (Ecen oraino hetaric batetara-ere etzén iautsi içan, baina solament batheyatuac ciraden Iesus Iaunaren icenean)
For he had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Guero paussa citzaten escuac hayén gainean, eta recebi ceçaten Spiritu saindua.
Then the apostles laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Orduan ikussiric Simonec ecen Apostoluen escuen paussatzez emaiten cela Spiritu saindua, diru presenta ciecén.
But when Simon perceived that, by the laying on of the apostles’ hands, the Spirit was given, he offered them money saying,
19 Erraiten çuela, Indaçue niri-ere bothere hori, nori-ere escuac gainean paussaturen baitrautzat, recebi deçan Spiritu saindua.
"Give me, too, this power, so that on whomever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit."
20 Baina Pierrisec erran cieçón, Hire diruä hirequin gal dadila, ceren estimatu baituc Iaincoaren dohaina dirutan conquestatzen dela.
But Peter said to him. "Your money perish with you, because you have supposed that with money you can obtain God’s free gift!"
21 Eztuc hic parteric ez heretageric eguiteco hunetan: ecen hire bihotza eztuc chuchen Iaincoaren aitzinean.
"You have no part or lot in this matter." Your heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Emendadi bada eure malitia horretaric, eta Iaincoari othoitz eguióc, eya, aguian barka lequidianez eure bihotzeco pensamendua.
Repent then of this your wickedness, and beseech the Lord to forgive you this purpose of your heart.
23 Ecen behaçun gucizco karminean, eta iniquitatezco estecailluan aicela badiacussát.
"For I perceive that you still stand in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of unrighteousness."
24 Orduan ihardesten çuela Simonec erran ceçan, Othoitz eguioçue çuec enegatic Iaunari, erran dituçuen gaucetaric batre guertha eztaquidançát,
And Simon answered, "Pray to the Lord for me, both of you, that nothing which you have said may happen to me."
25 Hec bada testificaturic eta denuntiaturic Iaunaren hitza, itzul citecen Ierusalemera, eta anhitz Samaritanoén burgutan Euangelioa predica ceçaten.
So the apostles, after bearing solemn witness, and declaring the message of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, evangelizing many Samaritan villages as they went.
26 Guero Iaunaren Aingueruä minça cequión Philipperi, cioela, Iaiqui adi, eta habil Egu-erdi alderát, Ierusalemetic Gazara iausten den bidera: hura duc desert:
And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go on your way south, along the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert way."
27 Eta iaiquiric ioan cedin, eta huná, guiçon Ethiopiano Eunuchobat, Ethiopianoén reguina Candaceren azpian manamendu gucia çuenic, cein baitzén haren onhassun guciaren gaineco: eta ethorri içan cen adoratzera Ierusalemera:
So he arose and went. And behold an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, who was a high official (a chief treasurer) of Candace, the queen of Ethiopia, who had come to Jerusalem to worship
28 Eta itzultzen cen iarriric cegoela bere carriot gainean, eta iracurtzen çuen Esaias prophetá.
Was now on his way home, and was reading the Prophet Isaiah as he sat in his chariot.
29 Orduan erran cieçón Spirituac Philipperi, Hurbil adi, eta hers aquio carriot horri.
And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join that chariot."
30 Eta Philippec laster eguinic ençun ceçan hura, iracurtzen çuela Esaias prophetá: eta erran cieçón, Baina aditzen duc iracurtzen duana?
So Philip ran up, and heard him reading Isaiah the Prophet, and said to him. "Do you understand what you are reading?"
31 Eta harc dio, Eta nola ahal neçaque, baldin norbeitec guida ezpaneça? Eta othoitz eguin cieçon Philipperi iganic iar ledin harequin.
The eunuch answered, "Why, how can I unless someone shall show me the way?" And he begged Philip to get up and sit with him.
32 Eta Scripturaco passage iracurtzen çuena, haur cen, Ardibat beçala heriotzera eraman içan da: eta nola bildots-bat motzen duenaren aitzinean mutu baita, hala eztu irequi vkan bere ahoa
Now the portion of Scripture which he was reading was as follows. He was led a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, So he opened not his mouth.
33 Haren beheratzean haren iugemendua goratu içan da: baina haren irautea norc contaturen du? ecen altchatzen da lurretic haren vicia.
In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will declare his posterity? For his life is cut off from the earth.
34 Eta ihardesten ceraucala Eunuchoac Philipperi, erran ceçan, Othoitz eguiten drauat, norçaz Prophetác erraiten du haur? bere buruäz, ala cembeit bercez?
"Pray," asked the eunuch of Philip, "of whom is the prophet speaking? Of himself, or of some one else?"
35 Orduan irequiric Philippec bere ahoa eta hassiric Scriptura hunetaric denuntia cieçon Iesus.
Then Philip opened his lips, and beginning from that same scripture, he preached the gospel of Jesus to him.
36 Eta bidean ioaiten ciradela, ethor citecen vr batetara: orduan dio Eunuchoac, Huna vra: cerc empatchatzen nau batheyatu içatetic?
And as they were going on their way they came to a certain water, and the eunuch said. "See, here is water! What hinders my being baptized?"
37 Eta erran ceçan Philippec, Baldin sinhesten baduc eure bihotz guciaz, ahal aite. Eta ihardesten çuela harc erran ceçan, Sinhesten diat Iaincoaren Semea dela Iesus Christ.
And Philip said, "If you believe with your whole heart, you may." The eunuch answered, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
38 Eta mana ceçan carriota gueldin ledin: eta iauts citecen biac vrera, Philippe eta Eunuchoa: eta batheya ceçan hura.
And he ordered the chariot to stop; and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
39 Eta igan ciradenean vretic, Iaunaren Spirituac harrapa ceçan Philippe, eta guehiagoric etzeçan ikus hura Eunuchoac: eta bere bideaz ioaiten cen alegueraric.
And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing.
40 Baina Philippe eriden cedin Azot-en: eta iragaitean predica ceçan Euangelioa hiri gucietan Cesareara hel leiteno.
Philip found himself at Ashdod. Then visiting town after town, he kept preaching the good news in all the cities until he reached Caesarea.
