Eginak 1
1 LEHENIC minçatu içan nauc, Theophile, Iesus eguiten eta iracasten hassi içan cen gauça guciéz.
The first account which I drew up, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught from the very first,
2 Elegitu cituen Apostoluey Spiritu sainduaz manamenduac emanic, goiti recebitu cen egunerano.
down to that day on which he was taken up to Heaven, after he had, by the help of the Holy Spirit, given instructions to the Apostles whom he had chosen.
3 Ceiney eracutsi-ere baitu bere buruä viciric bere passioneaz gueroztic anthitz seignale segurez, berroguey egunez hæy eracusten eta Iaincoaren resumáz minçatzen çayela.
With abundant proofs, he showed himself to them, still living, after his death; appearing to them from time to time during forty days, and speaking of all that related to the Kingdom of God.
4 Eta bildu cituenean, mana citzan ezlitecen parti Ierusalemetic, baina iguriqui leçaten Aitaren promessa, Cein, dio, ençun baituçue eneganic.
And once, when he had gathered them together, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the fulfilment of the Father’s promise — “that promise,” he said, “of which you have heard me speak;
5 Ecen Ioannesec batheyatu du vrez, baina çuec batheyaturen çarete Spiritu sainduaz anhitz egun gabe.
for, while John baptized with water, you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit before many days have passed.”
6 Hec bada bildu ciradenean interroga ceçaten hura, cioitela, Iauna, dembora hunetan bere staturaco draucac resumá Israeli?
So, when the Apostles had met together, they asked Jesus this question — “Master, is this the time when you intend to re-establish the Kingdom for Israel?”
7 Eta erran ciecén, Ezta çuey eman Aitac bere bothere proprian eçarri dituen demborén edo sasoinén eçagutzea.
His answer was: “It is not for you to know times or hours, for the Father has reserved these for his own decision;
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 shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit shall have descended upon you, and shall be witnesses for me not only in Jerusalem, but throughout Judea 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.
No sooner had Jesus said this than he was caught up before their eyes, and a cloud received him from their sight.
10 Eta cerurat beguiac fincatuac çadutzatela hura ioaten cenean, huná, bi guiçon presenta citecen hayén aitzinean veztidura churitan:
While they were still gazing up into the heavens, as he went, suddenly two men, clothed in white, stood beside them,
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: “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the heavens? This very Jesus, who has been taken from you into the heavens, will come in the very way in which you have seen him go into the heavens.”
12 Orduan itzul citecen Ierusalemera Oliuatzetaco deitzen den menditic, cein baita Ierusalemeco aldean, Sabbath baten bidean.
Then the Apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is about three quarters of a mile from the city.
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.
When they reached Jerusalem, they went to the upstairs room, where they were staying. There were there Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, 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,
They all united in devoting themselves to Prayer, and so did some 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)
About this time, at a meeting of the Brethren, when there were about a hundred and twenty present, Peter rose to speak.
16 Guiçon anayeác, complitu behar cen Scriptura haur, cein aitzinetic erran baitu Spiritu sainduac Dauid-en ahoz, Iudasez, cein içan baita Iesusen hatzamailén guidari:
“Brothers,” he said, “it was necessary that the prediction of Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit made by the lips of David about Judas, who acted as guide to the men that arrested Jesus,
17 Ecen contuco cen gurequin, eta recebitu vkan çuen administratione hunetaco portionea.
for he was one of our number and had his part allotted him in this work of ours.”
18 Harc bada acquisitu du landabat iniquitatezco alocairutic, eta bere buruä egotziric erditic leher eguin vkan du, eta vrratu içan dirade haren halsar guciac.
(This man had bought a piece of land with the price of his treachery; and, falling heavily, his body had burst open, and all his bowels protruded.
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.
This became known to every one living in Jerusalem, so that the field came to be called, in their language, ‘Akeldama,’ which means 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,” Peter continued, “it is said — ‘Let his dwelling become desolate, And let no one live in it’; and also — ‘His office let another take.’
21 Behar da beraz gurequin bildu içan diraden guiçon hautaric, Iesus Iauna gure artean ioan eta ethorri içan den dembora gucian,
Therefore, from among the men who have been with us all the time that Jesus, our Master, went in and out among us —
22 Hassiric Ioannesen Baptismotic, gureganic goiti recebitu içan den egunerano, bat eguin dadin haren resurrectionearen testimonio gurequin.
From his baptism by John down to that day on which he was taken from us — some one must be found to join us as a witness of his resurrection.”
23 Presenta citzaten bada biga, Ioseph Barsabas deitzen cena, cein icen goiticoz Iusto deithu içan baita, eta Matthias.
So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabas, 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 offered this prayer — “O Lord, who reads all hearts, show which of these two men you have chosen
25 Har deçançát ministerio hunetaco eta Apostolutassuneco, portionea, ceinetaric erauci içan baita Iudas, ioan ledinçat bere lekurát.
To take the place in this apostolic work, which Judas has abandoned, to go to his proper place.”
26 Eta egotz citzaten hayén çortheac, eta eror cedin çorthea Matthiasen gainera, eta consentimendu batez eçar cedin hameca Apostoluen contuan
Then they drew lots between them; and, the lot having fallen on Matthias, he was added to the number of the eleven Apostles.
