Eginak 7
1 Orduan erran ceçan Sacrificadore subiranoac, Gauça horiac horrela othe dirade?
Then the high priest said, “Can these things be 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:
So he said: “Men, brothers and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he resided in Haran,
3 Eta erran cieçón, Ilki adi eure herritic, eta eure ahaidetaric, eta athor nic eracutsiren drauädan lurrera.
and said to him, ‘Leave your country and your relatives, and come into a land that 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.
Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and resided in Haran. From there, after his father died, God moved him to this land in which you now live;
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.
yet He did not give him an inheritance in it, not even a footstep. He promised to give it to him for a possession, that is, to his seed after him, though he had no 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.
Further, God spoke like this: that his offspring would be aliens in a foreign land—and that they would be enslaved and oppressed—four hundred years.
7 Baina hec cerbitzatu duqueiten gendea punituren diat nic, dio Iaincoac: eta guero ilkiren dituc, eta cerbitzaturen nié leku hunetan.
‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and 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 a covenant of circumcision; and so he begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac did the same to Jacob, and Jacob to the twelve patriarchs.
9 Eta Patriarchéc inuidiaz mouituric, sal ceçaten Ioseph Egypterát eraman ledinçat: baina Iaincoa cen harequin:
“The patriarchs, being envious, sold Joseph into Egypt; yet 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 delivered him out of all his adversities, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
11 Eta ethor cedin gossetebat Egypteco herri gucira, eta Chanaan-era, eta herstura handia: eta etzutén erideiten iatecoric gure Aitéc.
And a famine came upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, even a great affliction, and our fathers could not find food.
12 Baina ençun ceçanean Iacob-ec bacela ogui Egypten, igor citzan gure Aitác lehenic.
But upon hearing that there was wheat in Egypt, Jacob first sent our fathers.
13 Eta bigarren aldian eçagut cedin Ioseph bere anayéz, eta declara cequion Pharaori Iosephen leinua.
On the second trip Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was presented to Pharaoh.
14 Orduan mandatariac igorriric Iosephec erekar ceçan bere aita Iacob, eta bere ahacoa gucia, baitziraden hiruroguey eta hamaborz persona.
Joseph sent and summoned his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
15 Iauts cedin bada Iacob Egyptera, eta hil cedin hura, eta gure Aitác.
So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and 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 were transferred to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor of Shechem.
17 Baina Iaincoac Abrahami iuratu ceraucan promessaren dembora hurbiltzen cela, augmenta cedin populua eta multiplica Egypten:
“Now as the time of the promise was approaching which God had sworn to Abraham, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt,
18 Berce reguebat Ioseph eçagutu etzuenic altcha cedino.
until a different king arose who had not known Joseph.
19 Hare gure nationearen contra fineciaz vsatzen çuela, gaizqui tracta citzan gure aitác, bere haourrén heriotara abandonna eraciterano, arraçá falta ledinçát.
This man took advantage of our race and oppressed our fathers, making them expose their babies so that they would not stay alive.
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 was well pleasing to God; he was nurtured in his father's house for three months.
21 Guero hura abandonnatu içan cenean, era-man ceçan Pharaoren alabác, eta haz ceçan beretaco semetan.
When he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him to herself 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; he was mighty in words and deeds.
23 Baina bethe çayonean berroguey vrtheren demborá, igan cequión bihotzera bere anayén Israeleco semén, visitatzera ioan ledin:
Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the sons of Israel.
24 Eta ikussiric iniuria hartzen çuembat, defenda ceçan eta mendeca bidegabe hartzen çuena, Egyptianoa ioric.
Well seeing one of them being wronged, he defended and avenged the one being oppressed, striking down the Egyptian.
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 understood that God was giving them deliverance by his hand, but they did not understand.
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 appeared to them as they were fighting and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong one another?’
27 Baina hurcoari gaizqui eguiten ceraucanac bulka ceçan hura, cioela, Norc ordenatu au gure gaineco prince eta iuge?
But the one who was wronging his neighbor pushed Moses away, saying: ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Ala ni hic nahi nauc hil, atzo Egyptianoa hil auen beçala?
Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Orduan ihes eguin ceçan Moysesec hitz hunegatic, eta arrotz eguin cedin Madiango lurrean, non engendra baitzitzan bi seme.
Well Moses fled at that word, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.
30 Eta berroguey vrthe complitu cituenean aguer cequión Sinaco mendico desertuan Iaunaren Aingueruä, berro batetaco su-garrean.
“And when another forty years had passed, Angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, 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,
Well upon seeing it Moses was amazed at the sight, but as he approached for a closer look 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 and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.’ Moses started trembling and did not dare to look.
33 Orduan erran cieçon Iaunac, Eraunzquic eure oinetaco çapatác: ecen hi aicen lekua lur saindua duc.
So the Lord said to him: ‘Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where 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.
I have definitely seen the mistreatment of my people in Egypt, and have heard their groaning; and I have come down to deliver them. So now come, I will send you 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 refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God sent him as leader and deliverer 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, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and in 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 Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up to you a Prophet from among your brothers, like me.’
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 assembly in the wilderness, who was with the Angel who spoke with him on Mount Sinai and was with our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us;
39 Ceini ezpaitzaizca behatu nahi içan gure Aitác, baina refusatu vkan duté, eta itzuli içan dirade bere bihotzez Egypterát:
to whom our fathers did not want to be obedient; rather they rejected him and turned back in their heart to 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 us gods that will go before us; because this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what has become of him.’
41 Eta aretzebat eguin ceçaten egun hetan, eta offrenda cieçoten sacrificio idolari: eta delectatzen ciraden bere escuezco obra eguinetan.
Well they made a calf in those days and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and started 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 and gave them over to serve the army of the heaven, just as it is written in Book of the Prophets: ‘House of Israel, did you offer me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness?
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.
Actually you took along the tent of Moloch, and the star of your god, Rephan, the images that you made to worship; so I will relocate you beyond Babylon.’
44 Testimoniageco tabernaclea gure aitequin içan da desertuan, nola ordenatu baitzuen Moysesi erran ceraucanac, hura eguin leçan ikussi çuen formaren ançora.
“The tent of the testimony, according to the pattern that Moses had seen, just as the One speaking to him had commanded to make it, was with our fathers in the wilderness;
45 Tabernacle hura-ere gure Aitéc recebituric eraman ceçaten Iosuerequin Gentilén possessionera, cein iraitzi vkan baititu Iaincoac gure Aitén aitzinetic Dauid-en egunetarano.
which, having received it in turn, our fathers with Joshua brought into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, until the days of David;
46 Ceinec eriden baitzeçan gratia Iaincoaren aitzinean, eta esca cedin eriden leçan tabernaclebat Iacob-en Iaincoarendaco.
who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob,
47 Eta Salomonec edifica cieçón etchebat.
but Solomon built Him a house.
48 Baina Subiranoa ezta escuz eguin templetan habitatzen nola Prophetác erraiten baitu,
However, the Most High does not dwell in handmade sanctuaries, just 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, while the earth is a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me,’ says the Lord, ‘or what place for my rest?
50 Ala eztitu ene escuac eguin gauça horiac guciac?
Did not my hand make 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 and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always oppose the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so 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 did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers;
53 Ceinéc recebitu baituçue Leguea Aingueruén ministerioz, eta ezpaituçue beguiratu.
you who received the Law as ‘ordinances of angels’ and have not kept it!”
54 Eta gauça hauén ençutean, leher eguiten çuten bere bihotzetan eta hortz garrascotsez ceuden haren contra.
Well as they heard these things their hearts were being sawed in half, and they started gnashing 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 full of Holy Spirit and looking intently into the heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on God's right,
56 Eta dio, Huná, ikusten ditut ceruäc irequiac. eta guiçonaren Semea Iaincoaren escuinean dagoela.
and said, “Wow! I see the heavens opened and the Son of the Man standing at God's right!”
57 Orduan hec oihu handiz iarriric bere beharriac boça citzaten, eta gogo batez oldar citecen haren contra.
Yelling at the top of their voice they covered their ears and rushed at him all at once,
58 Eta hiritic campora iraitziric lapidatzen çuten: eta testimonioec eçar citzaten bere abillamenduac Saul deitzen cen guiçon gazte baten oinetara.
and throwing him out of the city they stoned him! (The witnesses placed 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.
Yes, they stoned Stephen as 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 kneeling down he called out at the top of his voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” And upon saying this he fell asleep. (Saul was in full agreement with his murder.)
