Eginak 22
1 Guiçon anayeác eta aitác, ençuçue orain çuec baithan emaiten dudan defensá.
My brothers and fathers, give ear to the story of my life which I now put before you.
2 (Eta ençun vkan çutenean ecen Hebraicoén lengoagez minço litzayela, hambat silentio handiago eguin ceçaten: eta erran ceçan, )
And, hearing him talking in the Hebrew language, they became the more quiet, and he said,
3 Ni naiz guiçon Iudua, Tarse Ciliciacoan iayoa, baina hacia hiri hunetan berean Gamalielen oinetan, aitén Leguearen perfectionean instruitua, Iaincogana zelotaco nincela, egun çuec guciac-ere çareten beçala:
I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia by birth, but I had my education in this town at the feet of Gamaliel, being trained in the keeping of every detail of the law of our fathers; given up to the cause of God with all my heart, as you are today.
4 Doctrina haur persecutatu vkan dudana heriorano, estecatuz eta presoindeguietara eçarriz hambat guiçonac nola emazteac:
And I made attacks on this Way, even to death, taking men and women and putting them in prison.
5 Sacrificadore subiranoa-ere testimonio dudan beçala, eta Ancianoén compainia gucia: are hetaric guthunac anayetara harturic, Damascerat ioaiten nincén, han ciradenac estecaturic Ierusalemera ekartera, puni litecençát.
Of which the high priest will be a witness, and all the rulers, from whom I had letters to the brothers; and I went into Damascus, to take those who were there as prisoners to Jerusalem for punishment.
6 Eta guertha cedin bidean ioaiten eta Damascera hurbiltzen nincela egu-erdi irian, subitoqui cerutico chistmist ançoco argui handi batec ingura bainençan:
And it came about that while I was on my journey, coming near to Damascus, about the middle of the day, suddenly I saw a great light from heaven shining round me.
7 Eta eror nendin lurrera, eta ençun neçan voz-bat, ciostala, Saul, Saul, cergatic ni persecutatzen nauc?
And when I went down on the earth, a voice came to my ears saying to me, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?
8 Eta nic ihardets neçan, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran cieçadan, Ni nauc Iesus Nazareno hic persecutatzen duana.
And I, answering, said, Who are you; Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are attacking.
9 Eta enequin ciradenéc, arguia ikus ceçaten, eta icit citecen, baina enequin minço cenaren voza etzeçaten ençun.
And those who were with me saw the light, but the voice of him who was talking to me came not to their ears.
10 Orduan erran neçan, Cer eguinen dut Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran cieçadan, Iaiquiric oha Damascera, eta han erranen çaizquic, eguin ditzán ordenatu çaizquian gauça guciac.
And I said, What have I to do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Get up, and go into Damascus; and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.
11 Eta ceren deus ezpainuen ikusten argui haren claretatearen causaz, enequin ciradenéz escutic eraman içanic Damascera ethor nendin.
And because I was unable to see because of the glory of that light, those who were with me took me by the hand, and so I came to Damascus.
12 Gueroztic Ananias Leguearen araura Iaincoaren beldur cen guiçombat, han egoiten ciraden Iudu gucietaric testimoniage ona çuena, enegana ethor cedin.
And one Ananias, a God-fearing man, who kept the law, and of whom all the Jews in that place had a high opinion,
13 Eta ene aldean cegoela erran cieçadan, Saul anayé, recebi eçac ikustea. Eta nic ordu hartan berean harenganat beha neçan:
Came to my side and said, Brother Saul, let your eyes be open. And in that very hour I was able to see him.
14 Eta harc erran ceçan, Gure aitén Iaincoac elegitu au hi bere vorondatearen eçagutzeco eta Iustoaren ikusteco, eta haren ahotic vozaren ençuteco.
And he said, You have been marked out by the God of our fathers to have knowledge of his purpose, and to see the Upright One and to give ear to the words of his mouth.
15 Ecen testimonio içanen atzayo guiçon guciac baithara, ikussi eta ençun dituan gaucéz.
For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and of what has come to your ears.
16 Orain bada cer berancen duc? Iaiqui adi eta batheyadi, eta chahu itzac eure bekatuac, Iaunaren icena inuocaturic.
And now, why are you waiting? get up, and have baptism, for the washing away of your sins, giving worship to his name.
17 Guero guertha cequidan, ni Ierusalemera bihurtu nincenean, eta templean othoitz eguiten nengoela transporta bainendin spirituz.
And it came about that when I had come back to Jerusalem, while I was at prayer in the Temple, my senses became more than naturally clear,
18 Eta ikus baineçan ciostana, Lehiadi eta ilki adi fitetz Ierusalemetic, ecen eztié recebituren hic niçaz emanen drauean testimoniagea.
And I saw him saying to me, Go out of Jerusalem straight away because they will not give hearing to your witness about me.
19 Eta nic erran neçan, Iauna, hec baceaquié ecen ni presoindeguira eçarten ari nincela eta açotatzen nituela synagoga gucietan hi baithan sinhesten çutenac.
And I said, Lord, they themselves have knowledge that I went through the Synagogues putting in prison and whipping all those who had faith in you:
20 Eta issurten cenean Esteben hire martyraren odola, ni-ere present ninduán, eta consentitzen nián haren hiltzean, eta beguiratzen nitián hura hiltzen çutenén arropác.
And when Stephen your witness was put to death, I was there, giving approval, and looking after the clothing of those who put him to death.
21 Eta harc erran cieçadan, Habil: ecen nic Gentiletara vrrun igorriren aut.
And he said to me, Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.
22 Eta ençuten çutén hura hitz hunetarano: orduan altcha ceçaten bere voza, erraiten çutela, Ken eçac lurretic horrelacoa: ecen eztuc raçoin hori vici den.
And they gave him a hearing as far as this word; then with loud voices they said, Away with this man from the earth; it is not right for him to be living.
23 Eta hec heyagoraz ceudela, eta bere arropác iharrosten eta airerat errhautsa iraizten çutela.
And while they were crying out, and pulling off their clothing, and sending dust into the air,
24 Mana ceçan Capitainac hura fortaleçara eraman ledin, eta ordena ceçan açoteaz examina ledin, iaquin leçançát cer causagatic hala oihuz leuden haren contra.
The chief captain gave orders for him to be taken into the army building, saying that he would put him to the test by whipping, so that he might have knowledge of the reason why they were crying out so violently against him.
25 Bada hedéz estecatu çuten ondoan, erran cieçón aldean çayón Capitainari Paulec, Hauçu çarete Romaco den baten eta condemnatu eztenaren açotatzera?
And when they had put leather bands round him, Paul said to the captain who was present, Is it the law for you to give blows to a man who is a Roman and has not been judged?
26 Eta haur ençun çuenean Centenerac ioanic Capitainagana, conta cieçón hari, cioela, Ikussac cer eguiteco duán: ecen guiçon haur Romaco burgés duc.
And hearing this, the man went to the chief captain and gave him an account of it, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman.
27 Eta capitainac ethorriric harengana, erran cieçón, Erran ieçadac, eya hi Romaco burgés aicenez. Eta harc erran ceçan, Bay.
And the chief captain came to him and said, Give me an answer, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.
28 Eta ihardets ceçan Capitainac, Nic somma handitan burgesia hori acquisitu diat. Eta Paulec dio, Eta ni iayo-ere burgés nauc.
And the chief captain said, I got Roman rights for myself at a great price. And Paul said, But I had them by birth.
29 Bertan orduan retira citecen harenganic hura examinatu behar çutenac: eta Capitaina-ere beldur cedin, eçaguturic ecen Romaco burgés cela, eta ceren estecatu baitzuen.
Then those who were about to put him to the test went away: and the chief captain was in fear, seeing that he was a Roman, and that he had put chains on him.
30 Eta biharamunean segura iaquin nahiz cer causagatic accusatzen licén Iuduéz, lacha ceçan estecaduretaric: eta mana ceçan, Sacrificadore principalac bil litecen, eta hayén conseillu gucia: eta ekarriric Paul presenta ceçan hayén aitzinean.
But on the day after, desiring to have certain knowledge of what the Jews had to say against him, he made him free, and gave orders for the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to come together, and he took Paul and put him before them.
