Eginak 7
1 Orduan erran ceçan Sacrificadore subiranoac, Gauça horiac horrela othe dirade?
Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?”
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 said: “Noble brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he stayed in Haran.
3 Eta erran cieçón, Ilki adi eure herritic, eta eure ahaidetaric, eta athor nic eracutsiren drauädan lurrera.
And God said to him, ‘Depart from your country and from your kindred, and go into the land that I will show to you.’
4 Orduan ilkiric Chaldeoén herritic habita cedin Charranen. Eta handic, haren aita hil cenean Iaincoac eraman ceçan hura çuec habitatzen çareten lur hunetara.
Then he went away from the land of the Chaldeans, and he lived at Haran. And later, after his father was dead, God brought him into this land, in which you now dwell.
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.
And he gave him no inheritance in it, not even the space of one step. But he promised to give it to him as a possession, and to his offspring after him, though he did not have a son.
6 Baina hunela erran ceçan Iaincoac, Habitaturen duc hire hacia berceren lurrean: eta han hura suiectionetaco eguinen dié, eta gaizqui tractaturen laur ehun vrthez.
Then God told him that his offspring would be a settler in a foreign land, and that they would subjugate them, and treat them badly, for four hundred years.
7 Baina hec cerbitzatu duqueiten gendea punituren diat nic, dio Iaincoac: eta guero ilkiren dituc, eta cerbitzaturen nié leku hunetan.
‘And the nation whom they will serve, I will judge,’ said the Lord. ‘And after these things, they shall depart and shall serve 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.
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so he conceived Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. And Isaac conceived Jacob, and Jacob, the twelve Patriarchs.
9 Eta Patriarchéc inuidiaz mouituric, sal ceçaten Ioseph Egypterát eraman ledinçat: baina Iaincoa cen harequin:
And the Patriarchs, being jealous, sold Joseph 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 he rescued him from all his tribulations. And he gave him grace and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And he appointed him as governor over Egypt and over all his house.
11 Eta ethor cedin gossetebat Egypteco herri gucira, eta Chanaan-era, eta herstura handia: eta etzutén erideiten iatecoric gure Aitéc.
Then a famine occurred in all of Egypt and Canaan, and a great tribulation. And our fathers did not find food.
12 Baina ençun ceçanean Iacob-ec bacela ogui Egypten, igor citzan gure Aitác lehenic.
But when Jacob had heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers first.
13 Eta bigarren aldian eçagut cedin Ioseph bere anayéz, eta declara cequion Pharaori Iosephen leinua.
And on the second occasion, Joseph was recognized by his brothers, and his ancestry was made manifest 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 and brought his father Jacob, with all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
15 Iauts cedin bada Iacob Egyptera, eta hil cedin hura, eta gure Aitác.
And Jacob descended into Egypt, and he passed away, and so did our fathers.
16 Eta eraman içan ciraden Sichemera, eta eçarri içan ciraden sepulchrean, cein erossi baitzuen Abrahamec diruren preciotan Emor Sichemeco semearen semetaric.
And they crossed over into Shechem, and they were placed in the sepulcher which Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the son of Shechem.
17 Baina Iaincoac Abrahami iuratu ceraucan promessaren dembora hurbiltzen cela, augmenta cedin populua eta multiplica Egypten:
And when the time of the Promise that God had revealed to Abraham drew near, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt,
18 Berce reguebat Ioseph eçagutu etzuenic altcha cedino.
even until another king, who did not know Joseph, rose up in Egypt.
19 Hare gure nationearen contra fineciaz vsatzen çuela, gaizqui tracta citzan gure aitác, bere haourrén heriotara abandonna eraciterano, arraçá falta ledinçát.
This one, encompassing our kindred, afflicted our fathers, so that they would expose their infants, lest they be kept alive.
20 Dembora hartan sor cedin Moyses, eta cen Iaincoaren gogaraco: cein hirur hilebethez haci içan baitzén bere aitaren etchean.
In the same time, Moses was born. And he was in the grace of God, and he was nourished for three months in the house of his father.
21 Guero hura abandonnatu içan cenean, era-man ceçan Pharaoren alabác, eta haz ceçan beretaco semetan.
Then, having been abandoned, the daughter of Pharaoh took him in, and she raised him as her own son.
22 Eta instruitu içan cen Moyses Egyptecoen sapientia gucian, eta cen botheretsu erranetan eta eguinetan.
And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. And he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.
23 Baina bethe çayonean berroguey vrtheren demborá, igan cequión bihotzera bere anayén Israeleco semén, visitatzera ioan ledin:
But when forty years of age were completed in him, it rose up in his heart that he should visit his brothers, the sons of Israel.
24 Eta ikussiric iniuria hartzen çuembat, defenda ceçan eta mendeca bidegabe hartzen çuena, Egyptianoa ioric.
And when he had seen a certain one suffering injury, he defended him. And striking the Egyptian, he wrought a retribution for him who was enduring the injury.
25 Eta vste çuen aditzen çutela haren anayéc ecen Iaincoac haren escuz deliurança eman behar cerauela: baina hec etzeçaten adi.
Now he supposed that his brothers would understand that God would grant them salvation through his hand. But they did not understand it.
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?
So truly, on the following day, he appeared before those who were arguing, and he would have reconciled them in peace, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. So why would you harm one another?’
27 Baina hurcoari gaizqui eguiten ceraucanac bulka ceçan hura, cioela, Norc ordenatu au gure gaineco prince eta iuge?
But he who was causing the injury to his neighbor rejected him, saying: ‘Who has appointed you as leader and judge over us?
28 Ala ni hic nahi nauc hil, atzo Egyptianoa hil auen beçala?
Could it be that you want to kill me, in the same way that you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Orduan ihes eguin ceçan Moysesec hitz hunegatic, eta arrotz eguin cedin Madiango lurrean, non engendra baitzitzan bi seme.
Then, at this word, Moses fled. And he became a foreigner in the land of Midian, where he produced two sons.
30 Eta berroguey vrthe complitu cituenean aguer cequión Sinaco mendico desertuan Iaunaren Aingueruä, berro batetaco su-garrean.
And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him, in the desert of Mount Sinai, an Angel, in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 Eta Moyses hori ikussiric miraz iar cedin visioneaz: eta consideratzera hurbiltzen cela eguin cedin harengana Iaunaren voza,
And upon seeing this, Moses was amazed at the sight. And as he drew near in order to gaze at it, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying:
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, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ And Moses, being made to tremble, did not dare to look.
33 Orduan erran cieçon Iaunac, Eraunzquic eure oinetaco çapatác: ecen hi aicen lekua lur saindua duc.
But the Lord said to him: ‘Loosen the shoes from your feet. For the place in which you stand 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.
Certainly, I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning. And so, I am coming down to free them. And now, go forth and I will send you into 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 rejected by saying, ‘Who has appointed you as leader and judge?’ is the one God sent to be leader and redeemer, by the hand of 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.
This man led them out, accomplishing signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and at the Red Sea, and in the desert, for forty years.
37 Moyses haur da erran cerauena Israeleco haourrey, Prophetabat suscitaturen drauçue çuen Iainco Iaunac çuen anayetaric ni beçalacoric: hari beha çaquizquiote.
This is Moses, who said to the sons of Israel: ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own brothers. You shall listen to him.’
38 Haur da congregationean desertuan içan cena, Aingueruärequin, cein minçatzen baitzayón Sinaco mendian, eta gure Aitequin içana, ceinec recebitu baititu hitz viciac guri emaiteco.
This is he who was in the Church in the wilderness, with the Angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. It is he who received the words of life to give to us.
39 Ceini ezpaitzaizca behatu nahi içan gure Aitác, baina refusatu vkan duté, eta itzuli içan dirade bere bihotzez Egypterát:
It is he whom our fathers were not willing to obey. Instead, they rejected him, and in their hearts they turned away toward Egypt,
40 Ciotsatela Aaroni, Eguin ietzaguc gure aitzinean dohazquen Iaincoac: ecen Moysesi, ceinec Egypteco lurretic campora eraman baiquaitu, etzeaquiagu cer heldu içan çayón.
saying to Aaron: ‘Make gods for us, which may go before us. For this Moses, who led us away from 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.
And so they fashioned a calf in those days, and they offered sacrifices to an idol, and they rejoiced in the works of their own 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?
Then God turned, and he handed them over, to subservience to the armies of heaven, just as it was written in the Book of the Prophets: ‘Did you not offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years in the desert, 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.
And yet you took up for yourselves the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god Rephan, figures which you yourselves formed in order to adore them. And so I will carry you away, beyond Babylon.’
44 Testimoniageco tabernaclea gure aitequin içan da desertuan, nola ordenatu baitzuen Moysesi erran ceraucanac, hura eguin leçan ikussi çuen formaren ançora.
The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, just as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, so that he would make it according to the form that 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.
But our fathers, receiving it, also brought it, with Joshua, into the land of the Gentiles, whom God expelled before the face of our fathers, even until the days of David,
46 Ceinec eriden baitzeçan gratia Iaincoaren aitzinean, eta esca cedin eriden leçan tabernaclebat Iacob-en Iaincoarendaco.
who found grace before God and who asked that he might obtain a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 Eta Salomonec edifica cieçón etchebat.
But it was Solomon who built a house for him.
48 Baina Subiranoa ezta escuz eguin templetan habitatzen nola Prophetác erraiten baitu,
Yet the Most High does not live in houses built by hands, just as he said through the prophet:
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 would you build for me? says the Lord. And which is my resting place?
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.
Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you ever resist the Holy Spirit. Just as your fathers did, so also do you do.
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 have your fathers not persecuted? And they killed those who foretold the advent of the Just One. And you have now become the betrayers and murderers of him.
53 Ceinéc recebitu baituçue Leguea Aingueruén ministerioz, eta ezpaituçue beguiratu.
You received the law by the actions of Angels, and yet you have not kept it.”
54 Eta gauça hauén ençutean, leher eguiten çuten bere bihotzetan eta hortz garrascotsez ceuden haren contra.
Then, upon hearing these things, they were deeply wounded in their hearts, 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 he, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and gazing intently toward heaven, 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.
And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, 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.
Then they, crying out with a loud voice, blocked their ears and, with one accord, rushed violently toward him.
58 Eta hiritic campora iraitziric lapidatzen çuten: eta testimonioec eçar citzaten bere abillamenduac Saul deitzen cen guiçon gazte baten oinetara.
And driving him out, beyond the city, they stoned him. And witnesses placed their garments beside the feet of a youth, who was called Saul.
59 Eta lapidatzen çutén Esteben, inuocatzen eta erraiten çuela, Iesus Iauná, recebi eçac ene spiritua.
And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60 Eta belhaurico iarriric oihu eguin ceçan ocengui Iauna, eztieceala imputa bekatu haur, Eta haur erran çuenean lokar cedin.
Then, having been brought to his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord.
