1 Eta salburic emparatu ciradenean, eçagut ceçaten orduan ecen islá Malte deitzen cela.

Following the rescue, they learned that the island was called Malta.

2 Eta Barbaroéc humanitate handi eguin cieçagutén: ecen sua vizturic recebi guençaten gu guciac, gaineancen çaicun vriagatic, eta hotzagatic.

Now the natives showed us unusual kindness, in that they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.

3 Bildu çuenean bada Paulec cembeit sirmendu appur, eta eçarri cituenean sura, viperabat beroaren causaz ilkiric lot cequión escutic.

But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, because of the heat a viper came out and fastened itself on his hand.

4 Eta ikussi vkan çutenean Barbaroéc dilindoca bestiá haren escutic, elkarri ciotsaten, Falta gabe guiçon haur guicerhaile da, cein itsassotic, emparaturic mendequioac ezpaitu permettitzen vici den.

So when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they started saying to each other, “This man must be a murderer, whom Justice has not allowed to live, even though rescued from the sea.”

5 Baina harc bestiá sura iharrossiric etzeçan minic har.

But he just shook the beast off into the fire and suffered no harm.

6 Eta hec beha ceuden noiz hant leiten, edo subitoqui hilic eror leiten: baina luçaqui beha egon içan ciradenean, eta çacussatenean calteric batre etzayola ethorten, proposa cambiaturic erraiten çutén, Iainco cela hura.

Well they were expecting him to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead; but after waiting for quite a while and seeing nothing unusual happening to him, they changed their mind and started saying he was a god.

7 Eta ciraden leku hartan islaco principal Publio deitzen cenaren possessioneac, ceinec gu recebituric, hirur egunez benignoqui logea baiquençan.

Now in that region there were properties belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and in a friendly manner took care of us for three days.

8 Eta guertha cedin Publioren aita baitzatzan helgaitzéc eta sabeldarçunac çaducatela: hura baithara Paul sar cedin, eta othoitz eguinic, eta escuac haren gainean eçarriric senda ceçan.

Well it happened that the father of Publius was sick in bed with fever and dysentery; Paul went in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

9 Bada haur eguin eta, islaco berce eritassunic çutenac-ere ethorten ciraden eta sendatzen.

So, when this had happened, the rest of those on the island who had diseases started coming and being healed;

10 Hec-ere ohore handi eguin cieçagutén, eta embarcatzeracoan behar cenaz forni guençaten.

who also honored us in many ways, and when we put to sea they provided the necessary things.

11 Eta hirur hilebetheren buruän embarca guentecen Alexandriaco vnci islán neguä iragan çuen batetan, ceinec baitzituen enseignatzat Castor eta Pollux.

Now after three months we put to sea in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was ‘the Twin Brothers’.

12 Eta Syracusara arriuaturic, han egon guentecen hirur egun.

We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days;

13 Handic inguru eguinic arriua guentecen Rhegera: eta egun-baten buruän egu-erdi haicea iaiquiric, bigarren egunean ethor guentecen Puzolera:

from there we tacked back and forth and arrived at Rhegium. After one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,

14 Han anayeac eridenic, othoiztu içan guenén egoitera hequin çazpi egun: eta hala ethor guentecen Romara.

where we found brothers who urged us to stay there seven days—that was how we went toward Rome.

15 Handic anayeac gure berriac ençunic bidera ilki cequizquigun Appioren merkaturano, eta Hirur botiguetarano: hec ikussi cituenean Paulec, Iaincoari esquerrac rendaturic courage har ceçan.

And the brothers there, when they heard about our circumstances, came out to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Inns. When Paul saw them he thanked God and took courage.

16 Eta ethorri içan guenenean Romara, Centenerac eman cietzón capitain generalari presonerac: baina permetti cequión Pauli bere gain egoitera, hura beguiratzen çuen gendarmesarequin.

Now when we entered Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commander; but Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.

17 Hirur egunen buruän dei citzan Paulec Iudu principalac: eta bildu ciradenean erran ciecén, Guiçon anayeác, nic deus eguin ezpadut-ere populuaren contra edo aitén costumén contra, Ierusalemen presonér eguin içanic liuratu içan naiz Romanoén escuetara:

It happened that after three days Paul called together the leaders of the Jews; and when they had assembled he said to them: “Men, brothers, though I had done nothing against ‘the people’ or the ancestral customs, still I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

18 Ceinéc examinatu nendutenean largatu nahi vkan bainendutén, ceren heriotaco hoguenic batre nitan etzén.

who, when they had examined me, were intending to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.

19 Baina Iuduac contrastatzen ciradenaren gainean, ecin bercez Cesargana appellatu içan naiz: ez neure nationea cerçaz accusa deçadan dudalacotz.

But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar; not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

20 Causa hunegatic bada deithu çaituztet, ikus cinçatedan eta minça nenguiçuençát: ecen Israeleco sperançaren causaz cadena hunez inguratua nago.

For this reason therefore I asked to see you and speak with you; it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”

21 Eta hec erran cieçoten, Guc ez letraric recebitu diagu hiçaz Iudeatic: ez ethorriric anayetaric nehorc denuntiatu dic edo erran deus hiçaz gaizquiric.

So they said to him: “We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brothers who came reported or spoken any evil about you.

22 Baina nahi diagu hireganic ençun cer irudi ceyán: ecen secta horrez den becembatean, baceaquiagu ecen leku gucietan nehor contrastatzen çayola.

But we desire to hear from you what you think; because as for this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.”

23 Eta assignatu vkan ceraucatenean eguna, ethor citecen harengana ostatura anhitz: eta testificationerequin declaratzen cerauen Iaincoaren resumá, eta eracusten cerauztén Iesusez diraden gauçác, hambat Moysesen Leguetic nola Prophetetaric goicetic arratserano.

So arranging a day with him, even more people came to him at his lodging, to whom he kept expounding from morning until evening: solemnly testifying about the Kingdom of God and trying to convince them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.

24 Eta batzuc sinhesten cituztén erraiten ciraden gauçác, baina bercéc etzituzten sinhesten.

Well some were persuaded by what had been said, and some kept refusing to believe.

25 Eta elkarren artean accord etziradenaren gainean, parti citecen, Paulec hitz haur erran eta, Segurqui vngui Spiritu saindua minçatu içan çaye Esaias prophetáz gure Aitey,

So being in disagreement among themselves they started to leave, after Paul had said this one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke correctly to our fathers through Isaiah the prophet,

26 Cioela, Habil populu horrengana, eta errac, Ençutez ençunen duçue eta eztuçue adituren: eta dacussaçuela ikussiren duçue eta etzaizquiote oharturen.

saying: ‘Go to this people and say, “You will keep on hearing, but never understand; you will keep on seeing, but never perceive”;

27 Ecen guicendu da populu hunen bihotza, eta beharriez gothorqui ençun vkan duté, eta bere beguiac ertsi vkan dituzté: beguiéz ikus, eta beharriez ençun, eta bihotzez adi ez teçatençát, eta conuerti ez titecen, eta senda ez titzadan.

because the heart of this people has become sluggish, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; in order that they not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their heart, nor turn back, so I could heal them.’

28 Iaquiçue bada çuec ecen Gentiley igorri içan çayela saluagarri haur, eta hec ençunen dutela.

Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen!”

29 Eta gauça hauc erran cituenean, ilki citecen Iuduac, bere artean disputa handi çutela.

And when he had said these things the Jews went their way, having a great dispute among themselves.

30 Baina egon cedin Paul bi vrthe complituric bere ostatu alocatuan: eta recebitzen cituen harengana ethorten ciraden guciac:

Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to see him,

31 Predicatzen çuela Iaincoaren resumá, eta iracasten cituela Iesus Christ Iaunaz diraden gauçác, minçatzeco hardieça gucirequin, nehorc empatchuric eguin gabe.

proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all boldness, without hindrance.
