1 LEHENIC minçatu içan nauc, Theophile, Iesus eguiten eta iracasten hassi içan cen gauça guciéz.
I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,
2 Elegitu cituen Apostoluey Spiritu sainduaz manamenduac emanic, goiti recebitu cen egunerano.
Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:
3 Ceiney eracutsi-ere baitu bere buruä viciric bere passioneaz gueroztic anthitz seignale segurez, berroguey egunez hæy eracusten eta Iaincoaren resumáz minçatzen çayela.
And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:
4 Eta bildu cituenean, mana citzan ezlitecen parti Ierusalemetic, baina iguriqui leçaten Aitaren promessa, Cein, dio, ençun baituçue eneganic.
And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:
5 Ecen Ioannesec batheyatu du vrez, baina çuec batheyaturen çarete Spiritu sainduaz anhitz egun gabe.
For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
6 Hec bada bildu ciradenean interroga ceçaten hura, cioitela, Iauna, dembora hunetan bere staturaco draucac resumá Israeli?
So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
7 Eta erran ciecén, Ezta çuey eman Aitac bere bothere proprian eçarri dituen demborén edo sasoinén eçagutzea.
And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
8 Baina recibituren duçue çuen gainera ethorriren den Spiritu sainduaren verthutea, eta içanen çaizquidate testimonio Ierusalemen, eta Iudea gucian, eta Samarian, eta lurraren bazterrerano
But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
9 Eta gauça hauc erran cituenean, hec çacussatela altcha cedin: eta hodey batec harturic eraman ceçan hayén beguietaric.
And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
10 Eta cerurat beguiac fincatuac çadutzatela hura ioaten cenean, huná, bi guiçon presenta citecen hayén aitzinean veztidura churitan:
And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
11 Ceinéc erran-ere baitzeçaten, Galileaco guiçonác, cergatic zaudete, cerurat beha çaudetela? goiti çuetaric cerurat recebitu den Iesus haur, hala ethorriren da nola ikussi baituçue cerurat ioaiten.
And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
12 Orduan itzul citecen Ierusalemera Oliuatzetaco deitzen den menditic, cein baita Ierusalemeco aldean, Sabbath baten bidean.
Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 Eta sarthu içan ciradenean, igan citecen gambera gora batetara non baitzeuden Pierris eta Iacques, Ioannes eta Andriu, Philippe eta Thomas, Bartholomeo eta Mattheu, Iacques Alpheoren semea eta Simon Zelotes, eta Iuda Iacquesen anayea.
And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.
14 Hauc guciéc perseueratzen çutén gogobatez othoitzatan eta orationetan emaztequin, eta Iesusen ama Mariarequin, eta haren anayequin,
And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 Eta egun hetan iaiquiric Pierrisec discipuluen artean, erran ceçan (eta cen han berean compainiabat seioguey personaren ingurucoric)
And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,
16 Guiçon anayeác, complitu behar cen Scriptura haur, cein aitzinetic erran baitu Spiritu sainduac Dauid-en ahoz, Iudasez, cein içan baita Iesusen hatzamailén guidari:
My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,
17 Ecen contuco cen gurequin, eta recebitu vkan çuen administratione hunetaco portionea.
For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.
18 Harc bada acquisitu du landabat iniquitatezco alocairutic, eta bere buruä egotziric erditic leher eguin vkan du, eta vrratu içan dirade haren halsar guciac.
(Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.
19 Eta gauça haur eçagutu içan da Ierusalemeco habitant guciéz: hala non deithu içan baita landa hura hayén lengoage propriz, Haceldama: erran nahi baita, odol landa.
And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)
20 Ecen scribatua da Psalmuen liburuän, Eguin bedi haren habitationea desert, eta eztén han habita dadinic. Eta, Haren administrationea har deçan berce batec.
For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.
21 Behar da beraz gurequin bildu içan diraden guiçon hautaric, Iesus Iauna gure artean ioan eta ethorri içan den dembora gucian,
For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Hassiric Ioannesen Baptismotic, gureganic goiti recebitu içan den egunerano, bat eguin dadin haren resurrectionearen testimonio gurequin.
Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.
23 Presenta citzaten bada biga, Ioseph Barsabas deitzen cena, cein icen goiticoz Iusto deithu içan baita, eta Matthias.
And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.
24 Eta othoizte eguiten çutela erran ceçaten, Hic Iauna gucien bihotzac baiteçaguzquic, eracutsac cein elegitu duán bi hautaric,
And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,
25 Har deçançát ministerio hunetaco eta Apostolutassuneco, portionea, ceinetaric erauci içan baita Iudas, ioan ledinçat bere lekurát.
To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.
26 Eta egotz citzaten hayén çortheac, eta eror cedin çorthea Matthiasen gainera, eta consentimendu batez eçar cedin hameca Apostoluen contuan
And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
