1 Apollos Corinthen cela guertha cedin, Paul garaico bazter guciac iraganic ethor baitzedin Ephesera: eta han discipulu batzu eridenic erran ciecén,
Now it happened that while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the hinterland, came to Ephesus, where he found a few disciples.
2 Ala recebitu duçue Spiritu saindua sinhetsi vkan duçuenean? Eta hec erran cieçoten, Are Spiritu saindua denez-ere, eztiagu ençun.
"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" he asked them. "No" said they, "we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit."
3 Orduan dioste, Certan bada batheyatu içan çarete? Eta hec erran ceçaten, Ioannesen Baptismoan.
"Into what, then, were you baptized?" he asked. And they said, "Into the baptism of John."
4 Orduan Paulec erran ceçan, Ioannesec batheyatu vkan du emendamenduco Baptismoaz, ciotsala populuari, haren ondotic ethorteco cena baithan sinhets leçaten, erran nahi baita, Iesus Christ baithan.
"John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance," answered Paul, "telling the people to believe on One who was coming after him, namely, on Jesus."
5 Gauça hauc ençunic bada, batheya citecen Iesus Iaunaren icenean.
When they heard this they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
6 Eta escuac gainean eçarri cerauztenean Paulec, ethor cedin Spiritu saindua hayén gainera, eta minçatzen ciraden lengoagez, eta prophetizatzen çutén.
and after Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began to speak with tongues, and to prophesy.
7 Eta guiçon hauc gucioc ciraden hamabitarano.
They were in all about twelve men.
8 Guero bera sarthuric synagogán, Frangoqui minçatzen cen, hirur hilebethez disputatzen eta exhortatzen ari cela Iaunaren resumari dagozcan gaucéz.
Then Paul went into the synagogue, and there continued to preach fearlessly for about three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.
9 Eta nola batzu gogortzen baitziraden eta ezpaitzuten obeditu nahi, gaizqui Iaunaren bideaz minçatzen ciradela populuaren aitzinean, hetaric bera partituric, separa citzan discipuluac, egun oroz disputatzen ari cela Tyranno baten escholán.
But when some grew hardened and disobedient, and spoke evil of the Way before the crowd, he left them, withdrew the disciples, and continued to hold discussions daily in the lecture-hall of Tyrannus.
10 Eta haur eguin içan cen bi vrthez: hala non Asian habitatzen ciraden guciéc, ençuten baitzutén Iesus Iaunaren hitza, hambat Iuduéc nola Grecoéc.
This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia heard the Lord’s message, Jews as well as Greeks.
11 Eta costumatu etziraden verthuteac eguiten cituen Iaincoac Paulen escuz:
God also wrought extraordinary miracles by the hand of Paul;
12 Hala non are erién gainera ekarten baitzituzten haren gorputz gainetic crobitchetac eta conciertoac, eta ioaiten baitziraden hetaric eritassunac, eta spiritu gaichtoac hetaric ilkiten baitziraden.
so much so, that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick; and their diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
13 Orduan enseya citecen hara huna ebilten ciraden Iudu exorcista batzu spiritu gaichtoac cituztenén gainean Iesus Iaunaren icenaren inuocatzen, erraiten çutela, Coniuratzen çaituztegu Paulec predicatzen duen Iesusen partez.
But there were also some strolling Jewish exorcists, who took it upon them to invoke the name of Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches."
14 (Eta ciraden Sceua Iudu Sacrificadore principalarenic çazpi seme, haur eguiten çutenac)
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish high priest who used to do this.
15 Baina ihardesten çuela spiritu gaichtoac, erran ceçan, Iesus eçagutzen diat, eta Paul baceaquiat nor den: baina çuec nor çarete?
But the evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I have heard of, but who are you?"
16 Eta oldarturic hetara spiritu gaichtoa çuen guiçonac, eta hæy garaithuric, bortcha eguin ceçan hayén contra: hala non biluzgorriric eta çaurthuric ihes eguin baitzeçaten etche hartaric.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on two of them, overpowered them and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded.
17 Eta haur ethor cedin gucién eçagutzera hambat Iuduen nola Greco Ephesen habitatzen ciradenénera: eta eror cedin beldurra hayen gucien gainera, eta magnificatzen cen Iesus Iaunaren icena.
And this became known to all the people of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. Awe fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus began to be held in honor.
18 Eta sinhetsi çutenetaric anhitz ethorten ciraden confessatzen eta declaratzen cituztela bere eguinac.
Many also of those who became believers used to come to confess and to declare their deeds.
19 Arte curiositatezcoz vsatu vkan çutenec-ere, anhitzec bere liburuäc ekarriric erre citzaten gucién aitzinean: eta hayén valioa estimaturic eriden ceçaten berroguey eta hamar milla dinerorena.
And some of them who had practised magic arts, collected their books, and burned them in the presence of all. And they counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand silver coins.
20 Hala botheretsuqui augmentatzen cen Iaunaren hitza eta confirmatzen.
So mightily the word of the Lord continued to grow and to prevail.
21 Gauça hauc hunela complitu ciradenean delibera ceçan Paulec Spirituaz, Macedonia eta Achaia iraganic Ierusalemera ioaitera, cioela, Han içan ondoan, Roma-ere ikussi behar dut.
Now after these things were ended, Paul resolved in his spirit to travel through Macedonia and Achaia on his way to Jerusalem. "After I get there," he said, "I must see Rome, too."
22 Eta igorriric Macedoniara aiutatzen çutenetaric biga baitziraden Timotheo eta Erasto, bera gueldi cedin dembora batetacotz Asian.
So he sent two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, while he himself kept back for a time on his way into Asia.
23 Baina eguin cedin dembora hartan truble handibat doctrinaren causaz.
Now just at this time, there arose no small commotion concerning the Way.
24 Ecen Demetrius deitzen cen cilharguile, Dianaren cilharrezco templetchoguile batec, anhitz irabaz eraciten cerauen officiocoey:
There was a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, and brought rich profit to his workmen.
25 Hec bilduric, eta halaco gaucetaco officier ciradenac, erran ceçan, Guiçonác, badaquiçue ecen officio hunetaric heldu diradela gure onac:
He gathered them together with others of like occupation, and said. "Men, you know that by this business we make our money.
26 Eta badacussaçue eta badançuçue nola ez Ephesen solament, baina quasi Asia gucian Paul hunec sinhets eraciric itzuli duela populu handi, erraiten duela, ecen eztiradela iainco escuz eguiten diradenac.
"And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but almost throughout all of Asia, this fellow Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, by telling them that they are no gods at all who are made with hands.
27 Eta peril da ez solament gure gauça descrida dadin, baina are Diana handiaren templea guehiagoric deus estima eztadin, eta deseguin eztadin haren maiestate Asia guciac eta munduac ohoratzen dutena.
"So there is danger not only that our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be brought into disrepute, and that she herself may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world now worships."
28 Eta gauça hauc ençunic, eta hiraz betheric oihuz iar citecen, Ephesianoen Diana handiá!
After listening to this they were filled with rage, and cried out again and again, saying,
29 Eta bethe cedin hiri gucia confusionez, eta oldar citecen gogo batez theatrera, harturic Gayo eta Aristarche Macedonianoac, Paulen bideco lagunac.
The city was filled with commotion. They rushed like one man into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s companions in travel.
30 Eta Paul populua baithara sarthu nahi cenean, etzeçaten vtzi discipuluéc.
When Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not let him,
31 Baina Asiaco principaletaric batzuc-ere, nola baitziraden haren adisquide, harengana igorriric othoitz ceguioten, ez ledin theatrera presenta.
and some of the Asiarchs, too, who were his friends, sent word to him repeatedly, entreating him not to venture into the theater.
32 Bada batzu bataz oihuz ceuden, eta berceac berceaz: ecen confus cen compainiá, eta anhitzec etzaquiten cergatic bildu içan ciraden.
Now some were shouting one thing, some another, for the assembly was in an uproar, and the majority had no idea why they were come together.
33 Orduan gendetzetic campora auança ceçaten Alexandre, Iuduéc hura bulkatzen çutela. Eta Alexandrec, ichil litecen escuaz keinu eguinic, nahi ceraucan causá allegatu populuari.
And they brought Alexander out of the crowd, whom the Jews had pushed forward. And Alexander, motioning with his hand, would have made a defense to the people,
34 Baina eçagutu çutenean ecen hura Iudu cela, altcha cedin gucietaric vozbat, quasi bi orenez oihu eguiten çutela, Ephesianoén Diana handiá!
but when they saw that he was a Jew they all, with one voice, for about two hours, shouted,
35 Orduan scribariac gendetzea appacegaturic, erran ceçan, Epheseco guiçonác, cein da guiçona eztaquiana ecen Epheseco hiria dedicatua dela Diana handiaren, eta Iupiterganic iautsi içan den imaginaren cerbitzura?
At length the recorder got them quiet. "Men of Ephesus," he said, "who here does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple- guardian of the great Diana and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
36 Nehor bada gauça hautan contrasta ecin daitenaren gainean, appacega çaitezten beharda, eta deus desordenatuqui eztaguiçuen.
"Since these facts cannot be gainsaid, you ought to be calm and do nothing reckless.
37 Ecen ekarri vkan dituçue guiçon hauc ezpaitirade ez sacrilege, ez ezpaitute çuen iaincossá diffamatzen.
"For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
38 Beraz baldin Demetriusec eta harequin diraden officieréc eguitecoric baduté cembeiten contra, gorte eduquiten da, eta badirade Proconsulac, elkar accusa beçate.
If then Demetrius and his craftsmen have a grievance against any one, the courts are open and there are the proconsuls; let them accuse one another.
39 Eta baldin berce gauçaz deus galdeguiten baduçue, congregatione bidezqui bilduan concludi ahal daite.
But if you desire anything further, it must be settled in the regular assembly.
40 Ecen peril da seditionez accusa ezgaitecen, egungo egunagatic, truble huneçaz raçoin eman ahal deçaquegun causaric eztenaz gueroz.
For indeed we are in danger of being accused in regard to this day’s riot, since there is no cause for it, nor shall we be able to give account for this disorderly gathering."
41 Eta gauça hauc erran cituenean biltzarreari congit eman cieçón.
With these words he dismissed the assembly.
