Eginak 9
1 Eta Saul enflambaturic oraino mehatchuz eta hiltzecaz Iaunaren discipuluén contra, ethor cedin Sacrificadore subiranoagana.
Now Saul, whose every breath was a threat of destruction for the disciples of the Lord,
2 Eta letra esca cequión Damascera synagoguetara ioaiteco: baldin nehor erideiten balu secta hunetacoric, guiçonac eta emazteac estecaturic eraman litzançat Ierusalemera.
went to the High Priest and begged from him letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, in order that if he found any believers there, either men or women, he might bring them in chains to Jerusalem.
3 Eta ioaiten cela, guertha cedin hurbil baitzedin Damascera: eta subitoqui haren inguruän argui cedin chistmist baten ançora cerutic.
But on the journey, as he was getting near Damascus, suddenly there flashed round him a light from Heaven;
4 Eta lurrera eroriric ençun ceçan vozbat ciotsala, Saul, Saul cergatic ni persecutatzen nauc?
and falling to the ground he heard a voice which said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?"
5 Eta erran ceçan, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran ceçan, Ni nauc Iesus hic persecutatzen duana: gogor duc hiretaco akuloén contra ostico eguitea.
"Who art thou, Lord?" he asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," was the reply.
6 Eta harc ikaraturic eta icituric erran ceçan, Iauna, cer nahi duc daguidan? Orduan Iaunac hari, Iaiqui adi eta sar adi hirian, eta erranen çaic cer eguin behar duán.
"But rise and go to the city, and you will be told what you are to do.
7 Eta harequin ioaiten ciraden guiçonac, gueldi citecen icituric, haren voza bay ençuten, baina nehor ikusten etzutela.
Meanwhile the men who travelled with Saul were standing dumb with amazement, hearing a sound, but seeing no one.
8 Eta iaiqui cedin Saul lurretic, eta bere beguiac irequiric nehor etzuen ikusten: eta escutic guidatzen çutela, eraman ceçaten Damascera.
Then he rose from the ground, but when he had opened his eyes, he could not see, and they led him by the arm and brought him to Damascus.
9 Non egon baitzedin hirur egun ikusten etzuela: eta etzeçan ian ez edan.
And for two days he remained without sight, and did not eat or drink anything.
10 Eta cen Damascen Ananias deitzen cen discipulubat, eta erran cieçon hari Iaunac visionez, Ananias. Eta dio harc, Huná ni, Iauna.
Now in Damascus there was a disciple of the name of Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, saying, "Ananias!" "I am here, Lord," he answered.
11 Orduan Iaunac hari erran cieçon, Iaiquiric oha Çucena deitzen den karricara, eta bilha eçac Iudaren etchean Saul deitzen den Tharsianobat: ecen hará, othoitzetan diagoc.
"Rise," said the Lord, "and go to Straight Street, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man called Saul, from Tarsus, for he is actually praying.
12 (Eta ikus ceçan visionez Ananias deitzen cen guiçon-bat sartzen cela eta haren gainean escua eçarten çuela, ikustea recebi leçançat)
He has seen a man called Ananias come and lay his hands upon him so that he may recover his sight."
13 Eta ihardets ceçan Ananiasec, Iauna, ençun diat anhitzetaric guiçon hunez, cembat gaitz eguin drauen hire sainduey Ierusalemen.
"Lord," answered Ananias, "I have heard about that man from many, and I have heard of the great mischief he has done to Thy people in Jerusalem;
14 Etare hemen badic authoritate Sacrificadore principaletaric, hire icena inuocatzen duten gucién estecatzeco.
and here he is authorized by the High Priests to arrest all who call upon Thy name."
15 Eta erran cieçon Iaunac, Habil: ecen ene vnci electionezcobat duc hura ekar deçançát ene icena Gentilen, eta reguén, eta Israeleco haourrén aitzinera.
"Go," replied the Lord; "he is a chosen instrument of Mine to carry My name to the Gentiles and to kings and to the descendants of Israel.
16 Ecen nic eracutsiren diarocat cembat behar duen ene icenagatic suffritu.
For I will let him know the great sufferings which he must pass through for My sake."
17 Ioan cedin bada Ananias eta sar cedin etche hartan: eta escuac haren gainean eçarriric, erran ceçan, Saul anayé, Iaunac igorri niauc ( cein baita Iesus hiri ethorten aincen bidean aguertu çayana) ikustea recebi deçançat, eta Spiritu sainduaz bethe adinçat.
So Ananias went and entered the house; and, laying his two hands upon Saul, said, "Saul, brother, the Lord--even Jesus who appeared to you on your journey--has sent me, that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
18 Eta bertan eror citecen haren beguietaric quasi ezcatác beçalacoac, eta ikustea recebi ceçan bertan: guero iaiquiric batheya cedin.
Instantly there dropped from his eyes what seemed to be scales, and he could see once more. Upon this he rose and received baptism;
19 Eta ian çuenean indar har ceçan. Eta egon cedin Saul Damascen ciraden discipuluequin cembeit egun.
after which he took food and regained his strength. Then he remained some little time with the disciples in Damascus.
20 Eta bertan synagoguetan predica ceçan Christ ecen hura cela Iaincoaren Semea.
And in the synagogues he began at once to proclaim Jesus as the Son of God;
21 Eta icitzen ciraden hura ençuten çutén guciac, eta erraiten çutén, Ezta haur deseguin dituena Ierusalemen icen haur inuocatzen çutenac, eta hartara huna ethorri baita, hec estecaturic eraman litzançat Sacrificadore principaletara?
and his hearers were all amazed, and began to ask one another, "Is not this the man who in Jerusalem tried to exterminate those who called upon that Name, and came here on purpose to carry them off in chains to the High Priests?"
22 Baina Saul gueroago fortificatzenago cen, eta confunditzen cituen Damascen habitatzen ciraden Iuduac, confirmatuz ecen haur cela Christ.
Saul, however, gained more and more influence, and as for the Jews living in Damascus, he bewildered them with his proofs that Jesus is the Christ.
23 Eta dembora luceren buruän eduqui ceçaten Iuduéc elkarren artean conseillu haren hiltzeco,
At length the Jews plotted to kill Saul;
24 Baina Saulen eçagutzera ethor citecen hayen celatác: eta beguiratzen cituzten borthác egun eta gau, hura hil leçatençát.
but information of their intention was given to him. They even watched the gates, day and night, in order to murder him;
25 Baina harturic hura discipuluec gauaz murraillatic erauts ceçaten cordaz sasquian eçarriric.
but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a hamper.
26 Eta Saul ethorri cenean Ierusalemera, discipuluequin lagundu nahiz çabilan: baina guciac haren beldur ciraden, ez sinhetsiz hura discipulu cela.
So he came to Jerusalem and made several attempts to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, being in doubt as to whether he himself was a disciple.
27 Baina Barnabasec harturic hura eraman ceçan Apostoluetara, eta conta ciecén nola bidean ikussi çuen Iauna, eta hari minçatu içan çayón, eta nola Damascen frangoqui minçatu içan cen Iesusen icenean.
Barnabas, however, came to his assistance. He brought Saul to the Apostles, and related to them how, on his journey, he had seen the Lord, and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had fearlessly taught in the name of Jesus.
28 Eta cen hequin ioaiten eta ethorten cela Ierusalemen.
Henceforth Saul was one of them, going in and out of the city,
29 Eta frangoqui Iesus Iaunaren icenean minçatzen eta disputatzen cen Grecoén contra: baina hec hura hil nahiz çabiltzan.
and speaking fearlessly in the name of the Lord. And he often talked with the Hellenists and had discussions with them.
30 Hori eçaguturic anayéc eraman ceçaten hura Cesareara, eta igor ceçaten Tarsera.
But they kept trying to take his life. On learning this, the brethren brought him down to Caesarea, and then sent him by sea to Tarsus.
31 Elicéc bada Iudea gucian eta Galilean eta Samarian baque çutén, eta edificatzen ciraden, Iaincoaren beldurréan ebiliz, eta Spiritu sainduaren consolationez multiplicatzen ciraden.
The Church, however, throughout the whole of Judaea, Galilee and Samaria, had peace and was spiritually built up; and grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and receiving encouragement from the Holy Spirit.
32 Guertha cedin, Pierris gucietarat iragaiten cela, ethor baitzedin Lyddan habitatzen ciraden sainduetara-ere.
Now Peter, as he went to town after town, came down also to God's people at Lud.
33 Eta eriden ceçan han Eneás deitzen cen guiçon-bat ia çortzi vrthez ohean cetzanic, cein baitzén paralytico:
There he found a man of the name of Aeneas, who for eight years had kept his bed, through being paralysed.
34 Eta diotsa Pierrisec, Eneás, sendatzen au Iesus Christec: iaiqui adi, eta eure ohea accotra eçac eurorren. Eta bertan iaiqui cedin.
Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ cures you. Rise and make your own bed." He at once rose to his feet.
35 Eta ikus ceçaten hura Lyddan eta Saronan habitatzen ciraden guciéc, eta conuerti citecen Iaunagana.
And all the people of Lud and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
36 Ioppen-ere bacén discipulussa Tabitha deitzen cembat, erran nahi baita Dorcas: haur cen bethea obra onez eta elemosyna eguiten cituenéz.
Among the disciples at Jaffa was a woman called Tabitha, or, as the name may be translated, 'Dorcas.' Her life was wholly devoted to the good and charitable actions which she was constantly doing.
37 Eta guertha cedin egun hetan erituric hil baitzedin: eta ikuci çutenean, eçar ceçaten gambera gora batetan.
But, as it happened, just at that time she was taken ill and died. After washing her body they laid it out in a room upstairs.
38 Eta ceren Lydda baitzen Iopperen aldean, discipuluec ençunic ecen Pierris han cela, igor citzaten bi guiçon harengana, othoizten çutela ez leçan beránt hetarano ethortera.
Lud, however, being near Jaffa, the disciples, who had heard that Peter was at Lud, sent two men to him with an urgent request that he would come across to them without delay.
39 Eta iaiquiric Pierris ethor cedin hequin: eta arribatu cenean, eraman ceçaten gambera gorara: eta presenta cequizquión emazte alhargun guciac nigarrez ceudela, eta eracusten cerautzatela Dorcasec hequin cenean eguiten cituen arropác, eta veztidurac.
So Peter rose and went with them. On his arrival they took him upstairs, and the widow women all came and stood by his side, weeping and showing him the underclothing and cloaks and garments of all kinds which Dorcas used to make while she was still with them.
40 Baina guciac campora idoquiric Pierrisec eta belhaurico iarriric othoitz eguin ceçan, eta itzuliric gorputzerát, erran ceçan, Tabitha iaiqui adi, eta harc irequi citzan bere beguiac, eta Pierris ikussiric iarri cedin.
Peter, however, putting every one out of the room, knelt down and prayed, and then turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, rise." Dorcas at once opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, sat up.
41 Orduan Pierrisec escua hari emanic. eraiqui ceçan: guero deithuric sainduac eta emazte alhargunac presenta ciecén hura viciric.
Then, giving her his hand, he raised her to her feet and, calling to him God's people and the widows, he gave her back to them alive.
42 Eta haur eçagut cedin Ioppe gucian eta sinhets ceçaten anhitzec Iauna baithan.
This incident became known throughout Jaffa, and many believed in the Lord;
43 Eta guertha cedin, egon baitzedin anhitz egun Ioppen Simon deitzen cen larru appainçale batenean.
and Peter remained for a considerable time at Jaffa, staying at the house of a man called Simon, a tanner.
