1 Orduan erran ceçan Sacrificadore subiranoac, Gauça horiac horrela othe dirade?
Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”
2 Eta harc erran ceçan, Guiçon anayeác eta aitác, ençuçue, Gloriazco Iaincoa aguer cequión gure aita Abrahami Mesopotamian cenean, Charranen habita cedin baino lehen:
And Stephen declared: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
3 Eta erran cieçón, Ilki adi eure herritic, eta eure ahaidetaric, eta athor nic eracutsiren drauädan lurrera.
and told him, ‘Leave your country and your kindred and go to the land I will show you.’
4 Orduan ilkiric Chaldeoén herritic habita cedin Charranen. Eta handic, haren aita hil cenean Iaincoac eraman ceçan hura çuec habitatzen çareten lur hunetara.
So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God brought him out of that place and into this land where you are now living.
5 Eta etzieçón heretageric eman hartan, ez are oinaren bethea-ere: possessionetan hura emanen ceraucala promettatu baceraucan-ere, eta haren haciari haren ondoan, haourric ezpaçuen-ere.
He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised to give possession of the land to Abraham and his descendants, even though he did not yet have a child.
6 Baina hunela erran ceçan Iaincoac, Habitaturen duc hire hacia berceren lurrean: eta han hura suiectionetaco eguinen dié, eta gaizqui tractaturen laur ehun vrthez.
God told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
7 Baina hec cerbitzatu duqueiten gendea punituren diat nic, dio Iaincoac: eta guero ilkiren dituc, eta cerbitzaturen nié leku hunetan.
‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’
8 Eta eman cieçón Circoncisionezco alliançá: eta hunela Abrahamec engendra ceçan Isaac, eta circoncidi ceçan hura çortzigarreneco egunean: eta Isaac-ec engendra ceçan Iacob, eta Iacob-ec hamabi Patriarchác.
Then God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. And Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.
9 Eta Patriarchéc inuidiaz mouituric, sal ceçaten Ioseph Egypterát eraman ledinçat: baina Iaincoa cen harequin:
Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him
10 Eta idoqui ceçan hura bere tribulatione gucietaric, eta eman cieçón gratia eta sapientia Egypteco regue Pharaoren aitzinean, ceinec ordena baitzeçan hura Egypteco eta bere etche gucico gobernadore.
and rescued him from all his troubles. He granted Joseph favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and all his household.
11 Eta ethor cedin gossetebat Egypteco herri gucira, eta Chanaan-era, eta herstura handia: eta etzutén erideiten iatecoric gure Aitéc.
Then famine and great suffering swept across Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could not find food.
12 Baina ençun ceçanean Iacob-ec bacela ogui Egypten, igor citzan gure Aitác lehenic.
When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit.
13 Eta bigarren aldian eçagut cedin Ioseph bere anayéz, eta declara cequion Pharaori Iosephen leinua.
On their second visit, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and his family became known to Pharaoh.
14 Orduan mandatariac igorriric Iosephec erekar ceçan bere aita Iacob, eta bere ahacoa gucia, baitziraden hiruroguey eta hamaborz persona.
Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five in all.
15 Iauts cedin bada Iacob Egyptera, eta hil cedin hura, eta gure Aitác.
So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our fathers died.
16 Eta eraman içan ciraden Sichemera, eta eçarri içan ciraden sepulchrean, cein erossi baitzuen Abrahamec diruren preciotan Emor Sichemeco semearen semetaric.
Their bones were carried back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a price he paid in silver.
17 Baina Iaincoac Abrahami iuratu ceraucan promessaren dembora hurbiltzen cela, augmenta cedin populua eta multiplica Egypten:
As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number.
18 Berce reguebat Ioseph eçagutu etzuenic altcha cedino.
Then another king, who knew nothing of Joseph, arose over Egypt.
19 Hare gure nationearen contra fineciaz vsatzen çuela, gaizqui tracta citzan gure aitác, bere haourrén heriotara abandonna eraciterano, arraçá falta ledinçát.
He exploited our people and oppressed our fathers, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die.
20 Dembora hartan sor cedin Moyses, eta cen Iaincoaren gogaraco: cein hirur hilebethez haci içan baitzén bere aitaren etchean.
At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in the sight of God. For three months he was nurtured in his father’s house.
21 Guero hura abandonnatu içan cenean, era-man ceçan Pharaoren alabác, eta haz ceçan beretaco semetan.
When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.
22 Eta instruitu içan cen Moyses Egyptecoen sapientia gucian, eta cen botheretsu erranetan eta eguinetan.
So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.
23 Baina bethe çayonean berroguey vrtheren demborá, igan cequión bihotzera bere anayén Israeleco semén, visitatzera ioan ledin:
When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24 Eta ikussiric iniuria hartzen çuembat, defenda ceçan eta mendeca bidegabe hartzen çuena, Egyptianoa ioric.
And when he saw one of them being mistreated, Moses went to his defense and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian who was oppressing him.
25 Eta vste çuen aditzen çutela haren anayéc ecen Iaincoac haren escuz deliurança eman behar cerauela: baina hec etzeçaten adi.
He assumed his brothers would understand that God was using him to deliver them, but they did not.
26 Eta biharamunean hec guducatzen ciradela, eriden cedin hayén artean, eta enseya cedin hayén baquetzen, cioela, Guiçonác, anaye çarete çuec: cergatic batac berceari gaizqui eguiten draucaçue?
The next day he came upon two Israelites who were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’
27 Baina hurcoari gaizqui eguiten ceraucanac bulka ceçan hura, cioela, Norc ordenatu au gure gaineco prince eta iuge?
But the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?
28 Ala ni hic nahi nauc hil, atzo Egyptianoa hil auen beçala?
Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Orduan ihes eguin ceçan Moysesec hitz hunegatic, eta arrotz eguin cedin Madiango lurrean, non engendra baitzitzan bi seme.
At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons.
30 Eta berroguey vrthe complitu cituenean aguer cequión Sinaco mendico desertuan Iaunaren Aingueruä, berro batetaco su-garrean.
After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
31 Eta Moyses hori ikussiric miraz iar cedin visioneaz: eta consideratzera hurbiltzen cela eguin cedin harengana Iaunaren voza,
When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:
32 Cioela, Ni nauc hire aitén Iaincoa, Abrahamen Iaincoa., eta Isaac-en Iaincoa, eta Iacob-en Iaincoa. Eta Moyses ikara çabilala etzén consideratzera venturatzen.
‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
33 Orduan erran cieçon Iaunac, Eraunzquic eure oinetaco çapatác: ecen hi aicen lekua lur saindua duc.
Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
34 Ikussi diat, ikussi diat neure populu Egypten denaren afflictionea, eta hayén suspirioa ençun diat, eta iautsi içan nauc hayén idoquitera, orain bada athor, igorriren aut Egyptera.
I have indeed seen the oppression of My people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’
35 Moyses arnegatu çutén haur, cioitela, Norc hi ordenatu au prince eta iuge? haur bada Iaincoac prince eta liberaçale igor çeçan, Aingueru berroan aguertu içan çayonaren escuz.
This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 Hunec campora idoqui citzan hec, miraculuac eta signoac eguinez Egypten, eta itsasso gorrian, eta desertuan, berroguey vrthez.
He led them out and performed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and for forty years in the wilderness.
37 Moyses haur da erran cerauena Israeleco haourrey, Prophetabat suscitaturen drauçue çuen Iainco Iaunac çuen anayetaric ni beçalacoric: hari beha çaquizquiote.
This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
38 Haur da congregationean desertuan içan cena, Aingueruärequin, cein minçatzen baitzayón Sinaco mendian, eta gure Aitequin içana, ceinec recebitu baititu hitz viciac guri emaiteco.
He was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. And he received living words to pass on to us.
39 Ceini ezpaitzaizca behatu nahi içan gure Aitác, baina refusatu vkan duté, eta itzuli içan dirade bere bihotzez Egypterát:
But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
40 Ciotsatela Aaroni, Eguin ietzaguc gure aitzinean dohazquen Iaincoac: ecen Moysesi, ceinec Egypteco lurretic campora eraman baiquaitu, etzeaquiagu cer heldu içan çayón.
They said to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us! As for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’
41 Eta aretzebat eguin ceçaten egun hetan, eta offrenda cieçoten sacrificio idolari: eta delectatzen ciraden bere escuezco obra eguinetan.
At that time they made a calf and offered a sacrifice to the idol, rejoicing in the works of their hands.
42 Orduan guibelaz itzul cequién Iaincoa, eta abandonna citzan ceruco gendarmeriaren cerbitzatzera: Prophetén liburuän scribatua den beçala, Israeleco etcheá, ala offrendatu drauzquidaçue niri oblationeac eta sacrificioac berroguey vrthez desertuan?
But God turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 Aitzitic hartu vkan duçue Moloch-en tabernaclea, eta çuen Iainco Remphamen içarra, eta figura hec adoratzeco eguin dituçue: hunegatic irionen çaituztet Babylonez alde hartara.
You have taken along the tabernacle of Molech and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’
44 Testimoniageco tabernaclea gure aitequin içan da desertuan, nola ordenatu baitzuen Moysesi erran ceraucanac, hura eguin leçan ikussi çuen formaren ançora.
Our fathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the wilderness. It was constructed exactly as God had directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.
45 Tabernacle hura-ere gure Aitéc recebituric eraman ceçaten Iosuerequin Gentilén possessionera, cein iraitzi vkan baititu Iaincoac gure Aitén aitzinetic Dauid-en egunetarano.
And our fathers who received it brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations God drove out before them. It remained until the time of David,
46 Ceinec eriden baitzeçan gratia Iaincoaren aitzinean, eta esca cedin eriden leçan tabernaclebat Iacob-en Iaincoarendaco.
who found favor in the sight of God and asked to provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
47 Eta Salomonec edifica cieçón etchebat.
But it was Solomon who built the house for Him.
48 Baina Subiranoa ezta escuz eguin templetan habitatzen nola Prophetác erraiten baitu,
However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
49 Ceruä da ene thronoa, eta lurra ene oinén scabellá. Cer etche edificaturen drautaçue niri? dio Iaunac: edo cein da ene repausatzeco lekua?
‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or where will My place of repose be?
50 Ala eztitu ene escuac eguin gauça horiac guciac?
Has not My hand made all these things?’
51 Gende garhondo gogorrác, eta bihotz eta beharri circonciditu gabeác, çuec bethi Spiritu sainduari contrastatzen çaizquiote, çuen aitác beçala, çuec-ere.
You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did.
52 Prophetetaric cein eztute persecutatu çuen aitéc? hil-ere badituzte Iustoaren aduenimendua aitzinetic erran dutenac, ceinen tradiçale eta erhaile orain çuec içan baitzarete.
Which of the prophets did your fathers fail to persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One. And now you are His betrayers and murderers—
53 Ceinéc recebitu baituçue Leguea Aingueruén ministerioz, eta ezpaituçue beguiratu.
you who received the law ordained by angels, yet have not kept it.”
54 Eta gauça hauén ençutean, leher eguiten çuten bere bihotzetan eta hortz garrascotsez ceuden haren contra.
On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
55 Baina nola baitzén Spiritu sainduaz bethea, cerurát beguiac altchaturic ikus ceçan Iaincoaren gloria, eta Iesus Iaincoaren escuinean cegoela.
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
56 Eta dio, Huná, ikusten ditut ceruäc irequiac. eta guiçonaren Semea Iaincoaren escuinean dagoela.
“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
57 Orduan hec oihu handiz iarriric bere beharriac boça citzaten, eta gogo batez oldar citecen haren contra.
At this they covered their ears, cried out in a loud voice, and rushed together at him.
58 Eta hiritic campora iraitziric lapidatzen çuten: eta testimonioec eçar citzaten bere abillamenduac Saul deitzen cen guiçon gazte baten oinetara.
They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 Eta lapidatzen çutén Esteben, inuocatzen eta erraiten çuela, Iesus Iauná, recebi eçac ene spiritua.
While they were stoning him, Stephen appealed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60 Eta belhaurico iarriric oihu eguin ceçan ocengui Iauna, eztieceala imputa bekatu haur, Eta haur erran çuenean lokar cedin.
Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
