Eginak 21
1 Eta embarcatu guenenean, hetaric separaturic, chuchen-chuchena ethor guentecen Cosera, eta biharamunean Rhodesera, eta handic Patrasera.
[After] we said goodbye to the elders [from Ephesus], we [got on the ship and] sailed to Cos [Island, where the ship stopped for the night]. The next day we sailed from Cos to Rhodes [Island, where the ship stopped again. The day after] that we sailed to Patara [town, where the ship stopped. This was on Patara Island].
2 Eta han eridenic vnci Phenicerát trebessatzen çuen-bat hartara iganic parti guentecen.
[At Patara we left that ship, and someone told us that] there was a ship that would be going to Phoenicia [region. So] we got on that ship, and it left.
3 Guero Cypreren aguerrira guenenean, hura vtziric ezquér, Syria alderát vela eguin gueneçan, eta arriua guentecen Tyrera: ecen han vnciac behar çuen cargá descargatu.
[We sailed until] we could see Cyprus [Island]. We passed to the south of the island and continued sailing until we arrived at [Phoenicia region, in] Syria [province]. We arrived at Tyre [city. The ship was going to stay there several days, because its workers] had to unload the cargo.
4 Eta discipuluac eridenic egon guentecen han çazpi egun: hec Pauli erraiten ceraucaten Spirituaz, ezledin igan Ierusalemera.
[Someone told us] where the believers in Tyre lived, so we [(exc) went and] stayed with them for seven days. Because [God’s] Spirit revealed to them ([that people would cause Paul to suffer/Paul would suffer]) [in Jerusalem], they told Paul that he should not go there.
5 Baina egun hec complitu ciradenean parti guentecen, guciéc emaztequin eta haourrequin laguncen guentuztela hiri lekorerano: eta belhaurico iarriric vr bazterrean othoitze eguin gueneçan.
But when it was time [for the ship to leave again], we [prepared to] continue going [to Jerusalem]. When we left [Tyre], all the believers, including their wives and children, went with us [to the edge of the sea]. We all knelt down there on the sand/shore and prayed.
6 Guero elkar bessarcaturic, vncira igan guentecen, eta berceac beretarát itzul citecen.
After we all said goodbye, Paul and we [his companions] got on the ship, and the [other] believers returned to their own homes.
7 Eta gu biagea acabaturic arriua guentecen Tyretic Ptolemaidara: eta anayeac salutaturic, egon guentecen egun-bat hequin.
After we [(exc)] left Tyre, we continued on [that ship] to Ptolemais [city]. There were believers there, and we greeted them and stayed with them that night.
8 Eta biharamunean ilkiric Paul eta harequin guenenac ethor guentecen Cesareara: eta sarthuric Philippe Euangelistaren etchean (cein baitzén çazpietaric bat) egon guentecen hura baithan.
The next day we left [Ptolemais] and sailed to Caesarea [city], where we stayed in the home of Philip, who [spent his days] telling others how to become disciples of Jesus. He was one of the seven [men whom the believers in Jerusalem had chosen to care for the widows].
9 Eta hunec cituen laur alaba virgina prophetizatzen çutenic.
He had four daughters who were not married. Each of them [frequently] spoke messages that the Holy Spirit had revealed to them.
10 Eta han dembora vnguisco egon guenenean, ethor cedin Iudeatic Agabus deitzen cen Prophetabat.
After [we(exc) had been in Philip’s house for] several days, a believer whose name was Agabus came down from Judea [district] and arrived [in Caesarea]. He [frequently] spoke messages that the Holy Spirit had told him.
11 Eta guregana ethorriric eta Paulen guerricoa harturic eta harçaz bere oinac eta escuac estecaturic, erran ceçan, Gauça hauc erraiten ditu Spiritu sainduac, Guerrico hunen iabe den guiçona, hunela estecaturen dute Ierusalemen Iuduéc, eta liuraturen duté Gentilén escuetara.
Coming over to where we were, he took off Paul’s belt. Then he tied his own feet and hands with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] in Jerusalem will tie up [the hands and feet of] the owner of this belt, like this, and they will hand him over to non-Jewish people [as a prisoner].’”
12 Eta gauça hauc ençun guentuenean, othoitz eguin gueneçón guc eta leku hartan ciradenéc, ezledin igan Ierusalemera.
When [the rest of] us heard that, we and [other] believers there repeatedly pled with Paul, “Please do not go up to Jerusalem!”
13 Orduan ihardets ceçan Paulec, Cer ari çarete nigarrez çaudetela, eta ene bihotza erdiratzen duçuela? Ecen ni ez estecatu içatera solament, baina Ierusalemen hiltzera-ere prest naiz Iesus Iaunaren icenagatic.
But Paul replied, “(Please stop crying and trying to discourage me [IDM] [from going!]/Why are you crying and trying to discourage me [IDM] [from going]?) [RHQ] I am willing to be put {[for people] to put me} in prison and also to be killed {[for them] to kill me} in Jerusalem because I [serve] [MTY] the Lord Jesus.”
14 Bada, hari burutan ecin eman gueneçaqueonaren gainean, vtzi gueneçan, erraiten guenduela, Iaunaren vorondatea eguin dadila.
When [we(exc) realized that] he was determined [to go to Jerusalem], we did not try [any longer] to persuade him [not to go]. We said, “May (the Lord [God] do what he wants/the Lord’s will be done)!”
15 Eta cembeit egunen buruän gure hatuac harturic igan guentecen Ierusalemera.
After those days [in Caesarea], we [(exc)] prepared [our things] and [left to] go [by land] up to Jerusalem.
16 Eta ethor citecen discipuluetaric-ere batzu Cesareatic gurequin çacarqueitela berequin Mnason Cypriano iaquin-bat, discipulu ancianoa, cein baithan ostatuz behar baiquenen.
Some of the believers from Caesarea also went with us. [On the way to Jerusalem], we stayed [one night] in the house of [a man whose name was] Mnason. He was from Cyprus [Island], and he had believed [in Jesus] when people were first beginning to hear the message [about him].
17 Bada ethorri guenenean Ierusalemera, gogotic recebi guençaten anayéc.
When we arrived in Jerusalem, [a group of] the believers greeted us happily.
18 Eta biharamunean sar cedin Paul gurequin Iacques baithara, eta Anciano guciac hara bil citecen.
The next day Paul and the rest of us went to speak with James, [who was the leader of the congregation there]. All of the [other] leaders/elders [of the congregation in Jerusalem] were also there.
19 Eta hec bessarcaturic, conta citzan punctuz punctu Iaincoac Gentilén artean haren ministerioz eguin cituen gauçác.
Paul greeted them, and then he reported all of the things that God had enabled him to do among the non-Jewish people.
20 Eta hec ençun citzatenean, glorifica ceçaten Iauna, eta erran cieçoten, Anayé, badacussac cembat milla diraden Iudu sinhetsi dutenac: eta guciey baitacheté Iaincoaren zeloa.
When they heard that, James and the other elders said, “Praise the Lord!” Then [one of] them said to Paul, “Brother/Friend, you [(sg)] know that there are very many thousands of us [(inc)] Jewish people [here] who have believed [in the Lord Jesus]. Also, you know that we [(inc)] all continue very carefully to obey the laws [that Moses gave us].
21 Eta ençun dié erraiten hiçaz, ecen hic Moysesen vtzitera iracasten dituala Gentilen artean diraden Iudu guciac, erraiten duála, ecen eztituztela haourrac circonciditu behar, eta eztutela ordenancén araura ebili behar.
[But our fellow Jewish believers] have been told {have heard [people say]} that when you are among non-Jews, you tell the Jewish believers who live there that they should stop obeying [the laws] [MTY] ([of] Moses/[that] Moses [received from God]). [People say that] you tell [those Jewish believers] not to circumcise their sons and not to practice our [other] customs. [We(exc) do not believe that this is true].
22 Cer eguiteco da bada? ossoqui populuac bildu behar dic: ecen ençunen dié nola ethorri aicén.
But our fellow [Jewish] believers will certainly hear that you have arrived, [and they will be angry with you]. So [you] need to do something [RHQ] [to show them that what they heard about you is not true].
23 Eguic bada guc erraiten drauäguna. Laur guiçon citiagu vot eguin dutenic:
So you should do what we suggest to you. There are four men among us who have strongly promised [to God] about [something].
24 Hec harturic purificadi hequin, eta contribui eçac hequin, buruäc arrada ditzatençát: eta daquitén guciéc ecen hiçaz ençun dituztén gaucetaric deus eztela: baina euror-ere Leguea beguiratuz abilala.
Go with these men [to the Temple] and [ritually] purify yourself along with them. Then, [when it is time for them to offer the sacrifices for that ritual], pay for what they offer [as sacrifices]. After that, they can shave their heads [to show that they have done what they promised to do. And when people see you in the courts of the Temple with those men], they will know that what they have been told {what people have told them} about you is not true. Instead, all of them will know that you obey all our Jewish laws [and rituals].
25 Baina Gentil sinhetsi dutenez den becembatean, guc scribatu diagu, eta ordenatu deus halacoric beguira ezteçaten, baina beguira litecen idoley sacrificatuetaric, eta odoletic, eta ithoetaric, eta paillardiçataric.
As for the non-Jewish believers, [we elders here in Jerusalem have talked] about [which of our laws] they [should obey, and] we [(exc)] wrote them [a letter, telling them] what we decided. [We wrote] that they should not eat meat that people have offered as a sacrifice to any idol, [that they should not eat] blood [from animals], and that [they should not eat] meat from animals [that people have killed by] strangling [them. We also told them that] they should not have sex with someone to whom they are not married.”
26 Orduan Paul guiçon hec berequin harturic, eta biharamunean hequin purificaturic sar cedin templean denuntiatzen çuela purificationeco egunén complimendua, hetaric batbederagatic oblationea offrenda ledin artean.
So Paul [agreed to do what they asked], and the next day he took the [four] men, and together they ritually purified themselves. After that, Paul went to the Temple [courts and] told [the priest] what day they would [finish] purifying themselves [ritually] and when [they] would offer [the animals as sacrifices] for each of them.
27 Eta nola çazpi egunac ia hurren iragan baitziraden, Asiaco Iudu batzuc hura ikussi çutenean templean, moui ceçaten populu gucia, eta eçar citzaten escuac haren gainean:
When the seven days [for purifying themselves] were nearly finished, Paul [returned] to the Temple [courtyard]. Some Jews from Asia [province] saw him there, [and they were very angry at him]. On another day they had seen Paul [walking around] in Jerusalem with Trophimus, who was a non-Jew. Their laws did not permit non-Jews to be in the Temple, and they thought that Paul had brought Trophimus into the Temple [courtyard that day. So] they called out to many other Jews [who were in the Temple courtyard] to [help them] seize [MTY] Paul. They shouted, “Fellow Israelites, come and help [us punish this] man! This is the one who is [constantly] teaching people wherever [he goes that they] should despise the [Jewish] people. [He teaches people that they should no longer obey] the laws [of Moses] nor respect this holy [Temple]. He has even brought non-Jews here into [the court of] our Temple, causing God to consider it no longer holy!”
28 Heyagoraz ceudela, Israeltar guiçonác, hel çaquizquigute: haur da guiçona populuaren eta Leguearen eta leku hunen contra guciac leku gucietan iracasten dituena: are guehiago Grecoac-ere erekarri ditu temple barnera, eta prophanatu du leku saindu haur.
29 (Ecen lehen ikussi vkan çutén Trophime Ephesianoa hirian harequin, cein vste baitzutén Paulec temple barnera eraman vkan çuela.)
30 Eta moui cedin hiri gucia, eta oldar cedin populua: eta Paul hatzamanic templetic campora idoquiten çutén: eta bertan borthac erts citecen.
[People] throughout [MTY] the city heard that there was trouble [at the Temple courtyard], and they came running there. They grabbed Paul and dragged him outside of the Temple [area]. The gates [to the Temple courtyard were shut] {[The Temple guards] shut the doors [to the Temple courts]} immediately, [so that the people would not riot inside the Temple area].
31 Baina hec hura hil nahiz çabiltzala, hel cedin famá garniçoinaren bandaco Capitainagana, ecen Ierusaleme gucia nahassi cela.
While they were trying to kill Paul, someone [ran to the fort near the Temple] and told the Roman commander that many [HYP] people [MTY] in Jerusalem were rioting [at the Temple].
32 Ceinec ordu berean gendarmesac eta Centenerac harturic laster eguin baitzeçan hetara: eta hec ikussi cituztenean Capitaina eta gendarmesac gueldi citecen Paulen cehatzetic.
The commander quickly took some officers and [a large group of] soldiers and ran to [the Temple area where] the crowd was. When the crowd of people [who were yelling and beating Paul] saw the commander and the soldiers [coming], they stopped beating him.
33 Orduan hurbilduric Capitainac har ceçan hura, eta mana ceçan esteca ledin bi cadenaz: eta interroga ceçan nor licén, eta cer eguin çuen.
The commander came to [where Paul was and] seized him. He [commanded soldiers] to fasten a chain to [each of] Paul’s [arms]. Then he asked [the people in the crowd], “Who is this man, and what has he done?”
34 Eta batzu bataz ceuden oihuz gendetzean eta berceac berceaz: eta nahastecamenduaren causaz deus seguric ecin eçagutuz, mana ceçan fortaleçara eraman ledin.
Some of the many people there were shouting one thing, [and] some were shouting something else. Because they continued shouting so loudly, the commander could not understand [what they were shouting. So] he [commanded] that Paul be taken {[the soldiers] to take Paul} into the barracks [so that he could question him there].
35 Eta ethorri cenean gradoetara, guertha cedin gendarmeséz eramaiten baitzén gendetzearen boaldaren causaz.
[The soldiers] led Paul to the steps [of the barracks], but many people continued to follow them, trying to kill [Paul. So the commander told] the soldiers to carry Paul [up the steps into the barracks].
36 Ecen iarreiquiten çayón populuco gendetzea heyagoraz, Ken eçac hori.
The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Kill him! Kill him!”
37 Eta Paulec fortaleçán sartzeracoan diotsa Capitainari, Hauçu naiz hirequin minçatzera? Harc erran cieçón, Grecquic badaquic?
As Paul was about to be taken {[the soldiers] were about to take Paul} into the barracks, he said [in Greek] to the commander, “May I speak to you?” The commander said, “(I am surprised that you can speak the Greek [language]!/Can you [(sg)] speak the Greek [language]?)” [RHQ]
38 Ezaiz hi Egyptiano iragan egun hautan seditionebat viztu duana, eta laur milla gaichtaguin desertura retiratu dituana?
“(I [thought] that you [(sg)] were that fellow/Are you not that fellow) from Egypt [RHQ] who wanted to rebel [against the government not long ago], and who took 4,000 violent terrorists [with him] out into the desert, [so that we could not catch him]?”
39 Eta erran ceçan Paulec, Ni segur guiçon Iudua nauc Tarsen, Ciliciaco hiri famatuan burgés iayoa: othoitz eguiten drauat bada, permetti ieçadac minça naquión populuari.
Paul answered, “[No, I am not!] I am a Jew. I [was born] in Tarsus, which is an important [LIT] city in Cilicia [province]. I ask that you [(sg)] let me speak to the people.”
40 Eta harc permettitu ceraucanean, Paulec, gradoetan cegoela, ichilcera escuaz keinu eguin cieçón populuari, eta silentio handi eguin içanic, minça cedin Hebraicoén lengoagez, erraiten çuela.
Then the commander permitted Paul [to speak. So] Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand [for the crowd to be quiet. And after] the people in the crowd became quiet, Paul spoke to them in [their own] Hebrew language [MTY].
