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.

Then, after five days, the high priest Ananias came down with some of the elders and a certain Tertullus, a speaker. And they went to the governor against Paul.

2 Eta Paul deithu içanic, Tertulle has cedin accusatzen, cioela,

And having summoned Paul, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: “Most excellent Felix, since we have much peace through you, and many things may be corrected by your providence,

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.

we acknowledge this, always and everywhere, with acts of thanksgiving for everything.

4 Baina luçaquiago eduqui ezeçadan, othoitz eguiten drauat ençun gaitzán gutibat eure ontassunagatic.

But lest I speak at too great a length, I beg you, by your clemency, to listen to 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 pestilent, to be inciting seditions among all the Jews in the entire world, and to be the author of the sedition 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 has even been attempting to violate the temple. And having apprehended him, we wanted him to be judged according to our law.

7 Baina ethorriric Lysias capitainac bortcha handirequin edequi vkan diraucuc gure escuetaric.

But Lysias, the tribune, overwhelming us with great violence, snatched him away from our hands,

8 Haren accusaçaleac hiregana ethor litecen manaturic: beraganic eurorrec informatione eguinic iaquin ahal ditzaquec gauça guciac, ceineçaz guc hori accusatzen baitugu.

ordering his accusers to come to you. From them, you yourself will be able, by judging about all these things, to understand the reason that we accuse him.”

9 Eta consenti ceçaten Iuduec-ere, erraiten çutela, gauça hauc hala liradela.

And then the Jews interjected, saying that these things were so.

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:

Then, since the governor had motioned for him to speak, Paul responded: “Knowing that you have been the judge over this nation for many years, I will give an explanation of myself with an honest soul.

11 Ikussiric ecen hic eçagut ahal decaqueala nola hamabi egun baino guehiago eztiraden, igan mincenetic Ierusalemera, adoratzera.

For, as you may realize, it has only been twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.

12 Eta eznié templean eriden nehorequin disputatzen ari naicela, edo gende biltzen, ez synagoguetan, ez hirian:

And they did not find me in the temple arguing with anyone, nor causing a rally of the people: neither in the synagogues, nor in the city.

13 Eta ecin phoroga citzaqueé ni orain accusatzen nauten gauçác.

And they are not able to prove to you the things about which they now accuse 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.

But I confess this to you, that according to that sect, which they call a heresy, so do I serve my God and Father, believing all that is written in the Law and the Prophets,

15 Eta sperança dudalaric Iaincoa baithan, içanen dela hilén resurrectionea, hambat iustoena nola iniustoena, ceinen beguira berac-ere baitaude.

having a hope in God, which these others themselves also expect, that there will be a future resurrection of the just and the unjust.

16 Halacotz pena-ere eçarten diát, conscientiá dudan Iaincoagana eta guiçonetara trebucu gabe bethiere.

And in this, I myself always strive to have a conscience that is lacking in any offense toward God and toward men.

17 Eta anhitz vrtheren buruän, ethorri içan nauc neure nationera elemosyna eta oblatione eguitera.

Then, after many years, I went to my nation, bringing alms and offerings and vows,

18 Ordu hartan eriden nié purificatua templean, ez ordea gendetzerequin, ezeta tumulturequin, Asiaco Iudu batzuc.

through which I obtained purification in the temple: neither with a crowd, nor with a commotion.

19 Ceinéc behar baitzutén hire aitzinean comparitu, eta ni accusatu, baldin deus ene contra baçutén.

But certain Jews out of Asia are the ones who should have appeared before you to accuse me, if they have anything against me.

20 Edo hauc beróc erran beçate baldin cerbait gaichtaqueria eriden baduté nitan, ni conseilluan presentatu içan naicenean.

Or let these ones here say if they have found in me any iniquity, while standing before the council.

21 Hayén artean nengoela oihu eguin nueneco voz bakoitz haur baicen, Hilén resurrectioneaz ni accusatzan naiz egun çueçaz.

For while standing among them, I spoke out solely about this one matter: about the resurrection of the dead. It is about this that I am being judged today by you.”

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, after having ascertained much knowledge about this Way, kept them waiting, by saying, “When Lysias the tribune has arrived, I will give you a hearing.”

23 Eta mana ceçan Centenerbat, beguira ledin Paul eta largoan eçar ledin, eta nehor ez leçan empatcha haren eçagunetaric haren cerbitzatzetic edo harengana ioaitetic.

And he ordered a centurion to guard him, and to take rest, and not to prohibit any of his own from ministering to him.

24 Eta cembaitrabeit egunean buruän, Felixec ethorriric Drusilla bere emaztearequin, cein baitzén Iudaca, erekar ceçan Paul, eta ençun ceçan hura minçatzen Christ baithango fedeaz.

Then, after some days, Felix, arriving with his wife Drusilla who was a Jew, called for Paul and listened to him about the faith that is 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.

And after he discoursed about justice and chastity, and about the future judgment, Felix was trembling, and he responded: “For now, go, but remain under guard. Then, at an opportune time, I will summon you.”

26 Berahala escun gainean sperança çuelaric ecen Paulec cerbait diru emanen ceraucala, larga leçançat halacotz-ere maiz erekarten çuen eta minçatzen cen harequin.

He was also hoping that money might be given to him by Paul, and because of this, he frequently summoned him and spoke with him.

27 Eta bi vrtheac complitu ciradenean, har ceçan successor Felixec Porcius Festus: eta placer eguin nahiz Iuduey Felixec vtzi ceçan Paul presonér.

Then, when two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Portius Festus. And since Felix wanted to show particular favor to the Jews, he left Paul behind as a prisoner.
