Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You have permission to speak about yourself." So Paul, with outstretched arm, proceeded to make his defence.
Agrippac orduan Pauli erran cieçón, Permettitzen çaic eure buruägatic minçatzea. Orduan Paul escua hedaturic has cedin raçoin emaiten, cioela,
2 "As regards all the accusations brought against me by the Jews," he said, "I think myself fortunate, King Agrippa, in being about to defend myself to-day before you,
Regue Agrippá, dohatsu neure buruä estimatzen diat ceren egun hire aitzinean ihardetsi behar baitut, Iuduez accusatzen naicen gauca guciez
3 who are so familiar with all the customs and speculations that prevail among the Jews; and for this reason, I pray you, give me a patient hearing.
Principalqui ceren baitaquit eçagutzen dituala Iuduén artean diraden costuma eta questione guciac: halacotz othoitz eguiten drauat, patientqui ençun néçan.
4 "The kind of life I have lived from my youth upwards, as exemplified in my early days among my nation and in Jerusalem, is known to all the Jews.
Bada ene vicitze gaztetassunetic eraman dudanaz den becembatean, eta ceric lehen hatsetic içan den ene nationean Ierusalemen, badaquite Iudu guciéc:
5 For they all know me of old--if they would but testify to the fact--how, being an adherent of the strictest sect of our religion, my life was that of a Pharisee.
Lehendanic eçaguturic (baldin testificatu nahi baduté) nola neure aitzinecoacdanic gure religioneco secta gucizco excellentaren arauez vici içan naicen Phariseu.
6 And now I stand here impeached because of my hope in the fulfilment of the promise made by God to our forefathers--
Eta orain Iaincoaz gure aitey eguin içan çayen promesseco sperançaren causaz, iudicioan accusaturic nago.
7 the promise which our twelve tribes, worshipping day and night with intense devotedness, hope to have made good to them. It is on the subject of this hope, Sir, that I am accused by the Jews.
Promes hartara gure hamabi leinuéc ardura gau eta egun Iaincoa cerbitzatzén dutela helduren diradela sperança duté, cein sperançaz (o Regue Agrippá) Iuduéc ni accusatzen bainaute.
8 Why is it deemed with all of you a thing past belief if God raises the dead to life?
Cer? sinhets ecin daitenetan daducaçue çuec baithan, Iaincoac hilac ressuscitatzen dituela?
9 "I myself, however, thought it a duty to do many things in hostility to the name of Jesus, the Nazarene.
Eta niçaz den becembatean irudi içan çait ecen Iesus Nazarenoren icenaren contra resistentia handi eguin behar nuela:
10 And that was how I acted in Jerusalem. Armed with authority received from the High Priests I shut up many of God's people in various prisons, and when they were about to be put to death I gave my vote against them.
Eta eguin-ere badut Ierusalemen: eta anhitz saindu nic presoindeguietan enserratu vkan dut, Sacrificadore principaletaric bothere vkanic: eta nehorc hiltzen cituenean neure sententiá emaiten nuen.
11 In all the synagogues also I punished them many a time, and tried to make them blaspheme; and in my wild fury I chased them even to foreign towns.
Eta synagoga gucietan maiz punitzen nituela bortchatzen nituen blasphematzera: eta sobera minthuric hayén contra, persecutatzen nituen hiri arrotzetarano.
12 "While thus engaged, I was travelling one day to Damascus armed with authority and a commission from the High Priests,
Dembora hartan Damascerat-ere ioaiten nincela Sacrificadore principalén botherearequin eta commissionearequin.
13 and on the journey, at noon, Sir, I saw a light from Heaven--brighter than the brightness of the sun--shining around me and around those who were travelling with me.
Egunaren erdian, o Regué, bidean ikus nieçán cerutico arguibat iguzquiarena baino claroagoric, arguitzen guentuela ni eta enequin bidean ioaiten ciradenac.
14 We all fell to the ground; and I heard a voice which said to me in Hebrew, "'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? You are finding it painful to kick against the ox-goad.'
Eta gu guciac eroriric lurrera, ençun nieçán vozbat niri minço çaitadala, eta ciostala Hebraicoén lengoagez, Saul, Saul, cergatic ni persecutatzen nauc? gogor duc hiretaco akuloén contra ostico eguitea.
15 "'Who art Thou, Lord?' I asked. "'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting,' the Lord replied.
Nic orduan erran nieçán, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta harc erran cieçadán, Ni nauc Iesus hic persecutatzen duana.
16 'But rise, and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for the very purpose of appointing you My servant and My witness both as to the things you have already seen and as to those in which I will appear to you.
Baina iaiqui adi, eta ago çutic eure oinén gainean: ecen hunegatic aguertu natzaic, ordena ençadançat ministre eta ikussi dituán eta aguerturen natzayán gaucen testimonio:
17 I will save you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you to open their eyes,
Idoquiten audalaric populu horretaric eta Gentiletaric, ceinetara orain igorten baihaut,
18 that they may turn from darkness to light and from the obedience to Satan to God, in order to receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified through faith in Me.'

19 "Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision;
Hunegatic, o Regue Agrippá, eznitzayoc desobedient içan cerutico visioneari.
20 but I proceeded to preach first to the people in Damascus, and then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and to the Gentiles, that they must repent and turn to God, and live lives consistent with such repentance.
Baina Damascen ciradeney lehenic, eta Ierusalemen, eta Iudeaco comarca gucian ciradeney, guero Gentiley-ere predicatu diraueat emenda litecen eta conuerti Iaincoagana, obrác eguiten lituztelaric emendamendutaco digneac.
21 "It was on this account that the Jews seized me in the Temple and tried to kill me.
Causa hunegatic Iuduac ni templean hatzamanic enseyatu içan dituc ene hiltzen:
22 Having, however, obtained the help which is from God, I have stood firm until now, and have solemnly exhorted rich and poor alike, saying nothing except what the Prophets and Moses predicted as soon to happen,
Baina Iaincoaren aiutaz aiutatu içanic iraun diát egungo egunerano, testificatzen drauèdala hambat chipiey nola handiéy, eta deus erraiten eznuela Prophetéc eta Moysesec ethorteco ciradela aitzinetic erran dutén gauçaric baicen:
23 since the Christ was to be a suffering Christ, and by coming back from the dead was then to be the first to proclaim a message of light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."
Ecen behar cela Christec suffri leçan, eta hilén resurrectioneco lehena licén, ceinec populu huni eta Gentiley arguia denuntiatu behar baitzerauen.
24 As Paul thus made his defence, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, "You are raving mad, Paul; and great learning is driving you mad."
Eta gauça hauc bere defensatan erraiten cituela Festusec ocengui erran ceçan, Çoratu aiz Paul, letretaco iaquin handiac çoratzen au.
25 "I am not mad, most noble Festus," replied Paul; "I am speaking words of sober truth.
Eta Paulec, Eznauc çoratzen, dio, Festus gucizco excellentea, baina eguiazco eta adimendu onetaco hitzac erraiten citiát.
26 For the King, to whom I speak freely, knows about these matters. I am not to be persuaded that any detail of them has escaped his notice; for these things have not been done in a corner.
Ecen baceaquizquic gauça hauc Reguec, ceinen aitzinean minço-ere bainaiz frangoqui: ceren estimatzen baitut gauça hautaric eztela deus harc eztaquianic: ecen gauça haur eztuc çokoan eguin içan.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets? I know that you believe them."
O regue Agrippá, sinhesten dituc Prophetac? baceaquiat ecen sinhesten dituala.
28 Agrippa answered, "In brief, you are doing your best to persuade me to become a Christian."
Eta Agrippac erran cieçón Pauli, Hurrensu gogatzen nauc Christino eguin nadin.
29 "My prayer to God, whether briefly or at length," replied Paul, "would be that not only you but all who are my hearers to-day, might become such as I am--except these chains."
Orduan Paulec erran ceçan, Iaincoa baithan desir niquec bay hurrensu bay choil, ez hi solament, baina ni egun ençuten nauten guciac-ere eguin cindeizten halaco, nolaco ni bainaiz, estecaillu hauc salbu.
30 So the King rose, and the Governor, and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them;
Eta gauça hauc harc erran cituenean, iaiqui cedin Regue, eta Gobernadorea, eta Bernice, eta hequin iarri içan ciradenac.
31 and, having withdrawn, they talked to one another and said, "This man is doing nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment."
Eta appartatu ciradenean bere artean minço ciraden, cioitela, Deus herio edo presoindegui mereci duen gauçaric eztu eguiten guiçon hunec.
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, "He might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar."
Eta Agrippac Festusi erran cieçón, Larga ahal cieitean guiçon haur baldin appellatu içan ezpaliz Cesargana.
