Eginak 24
1 Eta borz egunen buruän iauts cedin Ananias Sacrificadore subiranoa Ancianoequin, eta Tertulle deitzen cen orator batequin: hec compari citecen Gobernadore handiaren aitzinean Paulen contra.
Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against Paul.
2 Eta Paul deithu içanic, Tertulle has cedin accusatzen, cioela,
When Paul had been called in, Tertullus opened the prosecution: “Because of you, we have enjoyed a lasting peace, and your foresight has brought improvements to this nation.
3 Felix gucizco excellenteá eçagutzen diagu esquer gucirequin gauça gucietan eta leku gucietan, ecen guc ardietsi dugula baque handia hiçaz, eta eure prouidentiaz populu hunetan eguin dituan ordenança onéz.
In every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with all gratitude.
4 Baina luçaquiago eduqui ezeçadan, othoitz eguiten drauat ençun gaitzán gutibat eure ontassunagatic.
But in order not to burden you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly.
5 Ecen eriden diagu guiçon pestilentioso haur seditione altchatzen drauela Iudu guciey mundu orotan, eta Nazarenoén sectaren buru dela:
We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
6 Cein templearen profanatzen-ere enseyatu içan baita, eta hatzamanic nahi vkan diagu gure Leguearen arauez iugeatu.
and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.
7 Baina ethorriric Lysias capitainac bortcha handirequin edequi vkan diraucuc gure escuetaric.
8 Haren accusaçaleac hiregana ethor litecen manaturic: beraganic eurorrec informatione eguinic iaquin ahal ditzaquec gauça guciac, ceineçaz guc hori accusatzen baitugu.
By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”
9 Eta consenti ceçaten Iuduec-ere, erraiten çutela, gauça hauc hala liradela.
The Jews concurred, asserting that these charges were true.
10 Baina ihardets ceçan Paulec, Gobernadore handiac minça ledin hari keinu eguinic, Ceren baitaquit anhitz vrthe duela natione hunen iuge aicela, gogoticago neure buruäz ihardestén diát:
When the governor motioned for Paul to speak, he began his response: “Knowing that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense.
11 Ikussiric ecen hic eçagut ahal decaqueala nola hamabi egun baino guehiago eztiraden, igan mincenetic Ierusalemera, adoratzera.
You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
12 Eta eznié templean eriden nehorequin disputatzen ari naicela, edo gende biltzen, ez synagoguetan, ez hirian:
Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.
13 Eta ecin phoroga citzaqueé ni orain accusatzen nauten gauçác.
Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.
14 Baina haur aithortzen drauät, ecen secta deitzen duten bide haren arauez, hunela dudala neure aitén Iaincoa cerbitzatzen, sinhesten ditudalaric Leguean eta Prophetetan scribatuac diraden gauça guciac.
I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
15 Eta sperança dudalaric Iaincoa baithan, içanen dela hilén resurrectionea, hambat iustoena nola iniustoena, ceinen beguira berac-ere baitaude.
and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
16 Halacotz pena-ere eçarten diát, conscientiá dudan Iaincoagana eta guiçonetara trebucu gabe bethiere.
In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.
17 Eta anhitz vrtheren buruän, ethorri içan nauc neure nationera elemosyna eta oblatione eguitera.
After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings.
18 Ordu hartan eriden nié purificatua templean, ez ordea gendetzerequin, ezeta tumulturequin, Asiaco Iudu batzuc.
At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia
19 Ceinéc behar baitzutén hire aitzinean comparitu, eta ni accusatu, baldin deus ene contra baçutén.
who ought to appear before you and bring charges, if they have anything against me.
20 Edo hauc beróc erran beçate baldin cerbait gaichtaqueria eriden baduté nitan, ni conseilluan presentatu içan naicenean.
Otherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
21 Hayén artean nengoela oihu eguin nueneco voz bakoitz haur baicen, Hilén resurrectioneaz ni accusatzan naiz egun çueçaz.
unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”
22 Gauça hauc ençunic, Felixec igor citzan hec berce aldi batetarano, cioela, Secta horrez cer den diligentquiago eçagutu duquedanean, Lysias capitaina iautsi datenean, ossoqui eçaguturen duquet çuen eguitecoa.
Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.”
23 Eta mana ceçan Centenerbat, beguira ledin Paul eta largoan eçar ledin, eta nehor ez leçan empatcha haren eçagunetaric haren cerbitzatzetic edo harengana ioaitetic.
He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.
24 Eta cembaitrabeit egunean buruän, Felixec ethorriric Drusilla bere emaztearequin, cein baitzén Iudaca, erekar ceçan Paul, eta ençun ceçan hura minçatzen Christ baithango fedeaz.
After several days, Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
25 Eta nola hura disputatzen baitzén iustitiáz, eta temperantiáz, eta içateco den iudicioaz, spantaturic Felixec ihardets ceçan, Oraingotz habil, eta aicinaric dudanean deithuren aut.
As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”
26 Berahala escun gainean sperança çuelaric ecen Paulec cerbait diru emanen ceraucala, larga leçançat halacotz-ere maiz erekarten çuen eta minçatzen cen harequin.
At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
27 Eta bi vrtheac complitu ciradenean, har ceçan successor Felixec Porcius Festus: eta placer eguin nahiz Iuduey Felixec vtzi ceçan Paul presonér.
After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
