Eginak 23

1 Eta beguiac conseillua baitharát chuchenduric Paulec erran ceçan, Guiçon anayeác, nic conscientia on gucitan cerbitzatu vkan dut Iaincoa egun hunetarano.

And Paul, looking fixedly at the Sanhedrin, said, My brothers, my life has been upright before God till this day.

2 Orduan Ananias Sacrificadore subiranoac mana citzan aldean çaizconac, hura muthurrean io leçaten.

And the high priest, Ananias, gave orders to those who were near him to give him a blow on the mouth.

3 Orduan Paulec erran cieçón, Cehaturen au hi Iaincoac, paret churituá: eta hi baihago Leguearen arauez ene iugeatzeco, eta Leguearen contra manatzen duc ni ceha nadin?

Then Paul said to him, God will give blows to you, you whitewashed wall: are you here to be my judge by law, and by your orders am I given blows against the law?

4 Eta present ciradenéc erran ceçaten, Iaincoaren Sacrificadore subiranoa iniuriatzen duc?

And those who were near said, Do you say such words against God's high priest?

5 Eta erran ceçan Paulec, Anayeác, ez naquian Sacrificadore subirano cela: ecen scribatua da, Eure populuaren princeaz eztuc gaizqui erranen.

And Paul said, Brother, I had no idea that he was the high priest: for it has been said, You may not say evil about the ruler of your people.

6 Eta iaquin çuenean Paulec ecen partida bata cela Sadduceuetaric, eta bercea Phariseuetaric, oihuz iar cedin conseilluan, Guiçon anayeác, ni Phariseu naiz, Phariseu seme: hilén sperançáz eta resurrectioneaz ni accusatzen naiz.

But when Paul saw that half of them were Sadducees and the rest Pharisees, he said in the Sanhedrin, Brothers, I am a Pharisee, and the son of Pharisees: I am here to be judged on the question of the hope of the coming back from the dead.

7 Eta haur erran çuenean, eguin cedin seditione Phariseuén eta Sadduceuén artean: eta çathi cedin biltzarrea.

And when he had said this, there was an argument between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and a division in the meeting.

8 Ecen Sadduceuéc erraiten dute eztela resurrectioneric, ez Aingueruric ez spirituric: baina Phariseuéc bata eta bercea aithor dituzté.

For the Sadducees say that there is no coming back from the dead, and no angels or spirits: but the Pharisees have belief in all these.

9 Eta eguin içan cen heyagora handibat: orduan Phariseuén alde ciraden Scribác iaiquiric baciharducaten, erraiten çutela, Eztugu deus gaitzic eriden guiçon hunetan, baina baldin spiritubat edo Ainguerubat minçatu baçayó ezgaitecela Iaincoaren contra batailla.

And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit?

10 Eta seditione handi eguin içanic, Capitainac beldurturic, heçaz Paul çathica ledin, mana ceçan gendarmesac iauts litecen hayén artetic haren harapatzera eta fortaleçara eramaitera.

And when the argument became very violent, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled in two by them, gave orders to the armed men to take him by force from among them, and take him into the army building.

11 Eta ondoco gauèan Iaunac, hari presentatzen çayola, erran cieçón, Paul, auc bihotz on: ecen nola testificatu baituc niçaz Ierusalemen, hala behar duc Roman-ere testificatu.

And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.

12 Eta arguitu cenean, Iuduetaric batzuc eguinic biltzarre eta vot maledictionerequin, lioitela, ezlutela ianen ez edanen Paul hil leçaqueteno.

And when it was day, the Jews came together and put themselves under an oath that they would take no food or drink till they had put Paul to death.

13 Eta berroguey baino guehiago ciraden coniuratione haur eguin çutenac.

And more than forty of them took this oath.

14 Hec ethorriric Sacrificadore principaletara eta Ancianoetara, erran ceçaten, Vot eguin dugu maledictionerequin, deus eztugula dastaturen Paul hil duqueguno.

And they came to the chief priests and the rulers and said, We have taken a great oath to take no food till we have put Paul to death

15 Orain bada çuec iaquin eraci ieçoçue Capitainari, conseilluaren vorondatetic bihar hura erekar dieçaçuela, harçaz cerbait hobequi eçagutu nahi bacinduté beçala: eta gu hura hurbil dadin baino lehen, prest gara haren hiltzera.

So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.

16 Baina Paulen arrebaren semea ençunic celatác, ethor cedin, eta sarthuric fortaleçara conta cieçón Pauli.

But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul.

17 Eta Paulec Centeneretaric bat beregana deithuric, erran cieçón, Guiçon gazte haur eramac Capitainagana, ecen badic cerbait hari erran beharric.

And Paul sent for a captain and said, Take this young man to your chief, for he has news for him.

18 Harc bada hura harturic eraman ceçan Capitainagana, eta erran ceçan, Paul presonerac beregana deithuric othoitz eguin dirautac, guiçon gazte haur hiregana ekar neçan, ceinec baitu cerbait hiri erran beharric.

So he took him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, made a request to me to take this young man to you, for he has something to say to you.

19 Eta Capitainac hura escutic harturic, eta appart retiraturic galde eguin cieçón, Cer duc niri erran beharric?

And the chief took him by the hand and, going on one side, said to him privately, What is it you have to say to me?

20 Eta harc erran ceçan, Iuduéc ordenatu dié hiri othoitz eguitera, bihar Paul conseillura igorri deçán, hobequiago cerbaitez informatu nahi balirade beçala harçaz:

And he said, The Jews are in agreement together to make a request to you for Paul to be taken, on the day after this, into the Sanhedrin, to be questioned in greater detail.

21 Baina hic eztieceala accorda: ecen hayén artecoric berroguey guiçon baino guehiago haren celata diaudec: vot eguinic maledictionezco penán, eztutela ianen ez edanen hura hil duqueiteno: eta orain prest diaudec, hic cer promettaturen drauèan beguira.

But do not give way to them, for more than forty of them are waiting for him, having taken an oath not to take food or drink till they have put him to death: and now they are ready, waiting for your order.

22 Capitainac bada igor ceçan guiçon gaztea, hari manaturic, nehori ezlerron nola gauça hauc hari dclaratu cerauzcan.

So the chief captain let the young man go, saying to him, Do not say to anyone that you have given me word of these things.

23 Eta deithuric bi Centenér erran ciecén, Eduquitzaçue prest ber-ehun gendarmés Cesarearano ioaiteco, eta hiruroguey eta hamar çamaldun, eta ber-ehun archer, gauaren heren oreneco.

And he sent for two captains and said, Make ready two hundred men, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, to go to Caesarea, at the third hour of the night:

24 Eta den abre prestic, igan eraciric Paul salburic eraman deçatençát Felix gobernadore handiagana.

And get beasts so that they may put Paul on them, and take him safely to Felix, the ruler.

25 Eta scriba cietzon letra batzu tenor hunetacoric,

And he sent a letter in these words:

26 Claude Lysiasec Felix gobernadore gucizco excellentari, salutatione.

Claudius Lysias, to the most noble ruler, Felix, peace be with you.

27 Guiçon haur Iuduéz hatzamana, eta ia heçaz hiltzeco cegoela, ethorriric garniçoinarequin edequi diraueat, eçaguturic ecen Romaco burgés cela.

This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman.

28 Eta iaquin nahiz cer causagatic accusatzen lutén, eraman vkan diat hayén conseillura.

And, desiring to get at the reason for their attack on him, I took him down to their Sanhedrin:

29 Cein eriden baitut accusatzen cela berén Legueco questionéz, eta herioric edo presoinic mereci luen hoguenic batre etzuela.

Then it became clear to me that it was a question of their law, and that nothing was said against him which might be a reason for prison or death.

30 Eta aduertitu içanic guiçon huni Iuduéz eguiten çaizcan celatéz, bertan igorri vkan diát hiregana: manamendu eguinic accusaçaley-ere, hunen contretaco dituzten gauçác hire aitzinean erran ditzaten. Vngui aicela.

And when news was given to me that a secret design was being made against the man, I sent him straight away to you, giving orders to those who are against him to make their statements before you.

31 Gendarmeséc bada hæy manatu içan çayen beçala, Paul harturic eraman ceçaten gauaz Antipatrisera.

So the armed men, as they were ordered, took Paul and came by night to Antipatris.

32 Eta biharamunean vtziric çamaldunac harequin loacençát, itzul citecen fortaleçara.

But on the day after, they sent the horsemen on with him, and went back to their place:

33 Eta hec Cesareara ethorriric eta Gobernadore handiari letrác emanic, Paul-ere haren aitzinera presenta ceçaten.

And they, when they came to Caesarea, gave the letter to the ruler, and took Paul before him.

34 Eta iracurri cituenean Gobernadore handiac letrác, eta cer prouinciataco cen hura interrogatu çuenean, eta eçaguturic ecen Ciliciaco cela:

And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,

35 Ençunen aut dio, hire accusaçaleac-ere ethorri diratenean. Eta mana ceçan Herodesen palatioan beguira ledin.

I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.
