1 Eta beguiac conseillua baitharát chuchenduric Paulec erran ceçan, Guiçon anayeác, nic conscientia on gucitan cerbitzatu vkan dut Iaincoa egun hunetarano.
And Paul, looking steadfastly, at the High-council, said—Brethren! I, in all good conscience have used my citizenship for God until this day.
2 Orduan Ananias Sacrificadore subiranoac mana citzan aldean çaizconac, hura muthurrean io leçaten.
And, the High-priest, Ananias, ordered them that stood by him, to be smiting him 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, unto him, said—God is about to be smiting thee, thou whited wall! Dost, thou, then sit to judge me according to the law, and, unlawfully, orderest me to be smitten?
4 Eta present ciradenéc erran ceçaten, Iaincoaren Sacrificadore subiranoa iniuriatzen duc?
And, they who stood by, said—The High-priest of God, dost thou revile?
5 Eta erran ceçan Paulec, Anayeác, ez naquian Sacrificadore subirano cela: ecen scribatua da, Eure populuaren princeaz eztuc gaizqui erranen.
And Paul said—I was not aware, brethren, that he was high-priest; because it is written—Of a ruler of thy people, shalt thou not speak injuriously.
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 Paul, getting to know that, the one part, were Sadducees and, the other, Pharisees, began to cry aloud in the council—Brethren! I, am, a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: —Concerning a hope, even of a rising again of the dead, am I to be judged.
7 Eta haur erran çuenean, eguin cedin seditione Phariseuén eta Sadduceuén artean: eta çathi cedin biltzarrea.
And, as this he was saying, there arose a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees; and rent asunder was the throng.
8 Ecen Sadduceuéc erraiten dute eztela resurrectioneric, ez Aingueruric ez spirituric: baina Phariseuéc bata eta bercea aithor dituzté.
For, Sadducees, say, there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, whereas, Pharisees, confess them both.
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 arose a great outcry, and certain of the Scribes of the party of the Pharisees, standing up, began to strive, saying—Nothing bad, find we in this man; —but, if a spirit hath spoken unto him, or a messenger…
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, great dissension arising, the captain, fearing lest Paul would be torn in pieces by them, ordered the troop to go down, and take him by force out of their midst, to bring him into the castle.
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.
But, on the following night, the Lord, standing over him, said—Be of good courage! for, as thou hast fully borne witness of the things concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou, in Rome also, bear witness.
12 Eta arguitu cenean, Iuduetaric batzuc eguinic biltzarre eta vot maledictionerequin, lioitela, ezlutela ianen ez edanen Paul hil leçaqueteno.
And, when it became day, the Jews, forming a conspiracy, bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had slain Paul.
13 Eta berroguey baino guehiago ciraden coniuratione haur eguin çutenac.
And they were, more than forty, who, this sworn-confederacy, had formed.
14 Hec ethorriric Sacrificadore principaletara eta Ancianoetara, erran ceçaten, Vot eguin dugu maledictionerequin, deus eztugula dastaturen Paul hil duqueguno.
And they went unto the High-priests and Elders, and said—With a curse have we bound ourselves, to taste, nothing, until we have slain Paul.
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.
Now, therefore, do, ye, with the High-council, make it appear unto the captain, that he should bring him down unto you, as though about to ascertain more exactly the things that concern him; and, we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16 Baina Paulen arrebaren semea ençunic celatác, ethor cedin, eta sarthuric fortaleçara conta cieçón Pauli.
But Paul’s sister’s son hearing of the lying-in-wait, happening to be near, and coming into the castle, —reported it unto Paul.
17 Eta Paulec Centeneretaric bat beregana deithuric, erran cieçón, Guiçon gazte haur eramac Capitainagana, ecen badic cerbait hari erran beharric.
And Paul, calling unto him one of the centurions, said—This young man, lead thou away unto the captain, for he hath somewhat to report unto 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.
He, therefore, taking him with him, brought him unto the captain, and saith—The prisoner Paul, calling me unto him, requested me to bring this young man unto thee, as having somewhat to tell thee.
19 Eta Capitainac hura escutic harturic, eta appart retiraturic galde eguin cieçón, Cer duc niri erran beharric?
And the captain, taking him by the hand, and going aside, began, privately, to ask—What is it which thou hast to report unto 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, have agreed to request thee, that, to-morrow, thou wouldst bring, Paul, down into the High-council, as though about to ascertain something, more exact, concerning him.
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.
Thou, therefore, do not be persuaded by them, for there are lying in wait for him, from among them, more than forty men, —who, indeed, have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor drink, till they have killed him; and, now, are they ready, awaiting the promise, from thee.
22 Capitainac bada igor ceçan guiçon gaztea, hari manaturic, nehori ezlerron nola gauça hauc hari dclaratu cerauzcan.
the captain, therefore, dismissed the young man, charging him—Unto no one, divulge thou, that, these things, thou hast shewed unto me.
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 calling certain two of the centurions he said—Make ye ready two hundred soldiers, that they may journey as far as Caesarea, —and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, by the third hour of the night;
24 Eta den abre prestic, igan eraciric Paul salburic eraman deçatençát Felix gobernadore handiagana.
beasts also provide, in order that, seating Paul thereon, they may bring him safely through unto Felix the governor.
25 Eta scriba cietzon letra batzu tenor hunetacoric,
And he wrote a letter, after this form: —
26 Claude Lysiasec Felix gobernadore gucizco excellentari, salutatione.
Claudius Lysias, unto the most excellent governor Felix, Joy!
27 Guiçon haur Iuduéz hatzamana, eta ia heçaz hiltzeco cegoela, ethorriric garniçoinarequin edequi diraueat, eçaguturic ecen Romaco burgés cela.
This man, having been apprehended by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I went down with the troop, and rescued; having learned that he was, a Roman.
28 Eta iaquin nahiz cer causagatic accusatzen lutén, eraman vkan diat hayén conseillura.
And, being minded to find out the cause for which they were accusing him, [I took him down into their High-council],
29 Cein eriden baitut accusatzen cela berén Legueco questionéz, eta herioric edo presoinic mereci luen hoguenic batre etzuela.
whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but, of nothing worthy of death or bonds, to be charged.
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.
But, when I was informed there would be a plot against the man, forthwith, I sent him unto thee, charging, his accusers also, to be speaking against him before thee.
31 Gendarmeséc bada hæy manatu içan çayen beçala, Paul harturic eraman ceçaten gauaz Antipatrisera.
So the soldiers, according to their orders, taking up Paul, brought him by night unto Antipatris;
32 Eta biharamunean vtziric çamaldunac harequin loacençát, itzul citecen fortaleçara.
and, on the morrow, leaving the horsemen to go on with him, returned to the castle, —
33 Eta hec Cesareara ethorriric eta Gobernadore handiari letrác emanic, Paul-ere haren aitzinera presenta ceçaten.
and the others, entering into Caesarea, and delivering the letter unto the governor, set, Paul also, before him.
34 Eta iracurri cituenean Gobernadore handiac letrác, eta cer prouinciataco cen hura interrogatu çuenean, eta eçaguturic ecen Ciliciaco cela:
And, when he had read it, and asked out of what province he was, and learned that he was from Cilicia,
35 Ençunen aut dio, hire accusaçaleac-ere ethorri diratenean. Eta mana ceçan Herodesen palatioan beguira ledin.
I myself will hear thee in full, said he, whensoever, thine accusers also, are come; and gave orders that, in the palace of Herod, he should be kept under guard.
