< Acts 22 >
1 'Men, brethren, and fathers, hear my defence now unto you;' —
Guiçon anayeác eta aitác, ençuçue orain çuec baithan emaiten dudan defensá.
2 and they having heard that in the Hebrew dialect he was speaking to them, gave the more silence, and he saith, —
(Eta ençun vkan çutenean ecen Hebraicoén lengoagez minço litzayela, hambat silentio handiago eguin ceçaten: eta erran ceçan, )
3 'I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, and brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been taught according to the exactitude of a law of the fathers, being zealous of God, as all ye are to-day.
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:
4 'And this way I persecuted unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women,
Doctrina haur persecutatu vkan dudana heriorano, estecatuz eta presoindeguietara eçarriz hambat guiçonac nola emazteac:
5 as also the chief priest doth testify to me, and all the eldership; from whom also having received letters unto the brethren, to Damascus, I was going on, to bring also those there bound to Jerusalem that they might be punished,
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.
6 and it came to pass, in my going on and coming nigh to Damascus, about noon, suddenly out of the heaven there shone a great light round about me,
Eta guertha cedin bidean ioaiten eta Damascera hurbiltzen nincela egu-erdi irian, subitoqui cerutico chistmist ançoco argui handi batec ingura bainençan:
7 I fell also to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?
Eta eror nendin lurrera, eta ençun neçan voz-bat, ciostala, Saul, Saul, cergatic ni persecutatzen nauc?
8 'And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? and he said unto me, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou dost persecute —
Eta nic ihardets neçan, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran cieçadan, Ni nauc Iesus Nazareno hic persecutatzen duana.
9 and they who are with me the light did see, and became afraid, and the voice they heard not of him who is speaking to me —
Eta enequin ciradenéc, arguia ikus ceçaten, eta icit citecen, baina enequin minço cenaren voza etzeçaten ençun.
10 and I said, What shall I do, Lord? and the Lord said unto me, Having risen, go on to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee concerning all things that have been appointed for thee to do.
Orduan erran neçan, Cer eguinen dut Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran cieçadan, Iaiquiric oha Damascera, eta han erranen çaizquic, eguin ditzán ordenatu çaizquian gauça guciac.
11 'And when I did not see from the glory of that light, being led by the hand by those who are with me, I came to Damascus,
Eta ceren deus ezpainuen ikusten argui haren claretatearen causaz, enequin ciradenéz escutic eraman içanic Damascera ethor nendin.
12 and a certain one, Ananias, a pious man according to the law, being testified to by all the Jews dwelling [there],
Gueroztic Ananias Leguearen araura Iaincoaren beldur cen guiçombat, han egoiten ciraden Iudu gucietaric testimoniage ona çuena, enegana ethor cedin.
13 having come unto me and stood by [me], said to me, Saul, brother, look up; and I the same hour did look up to him;
Eta ene aldean cegoela erran cieçadan, Saul anayé, recebi eçac ikustea. Eta nic ordu hartan berean harenganat beha neçan:
14 and he said, The God of our fathers did choose thee beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of his mouth,
Eta harc erran ceçan, Gure aitén Iaincoac elegitu au hi bere vorondatearen eçagutzeco eta Iustoaren ikusteco, eta haren ahotic vozaren ençuteco.
15 because thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard;
Ecen testimonio içanen atzayo guiçon guciac baithara, ikussi eta ençun dituan gaucéz.
16 and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.
Orain bada cer berancen duc? Iaiqui adi eta batheyadi, eta chahu itzac eure bekatuac, Iaunaren icena inuocaturic.
17 'And it came to pass when I returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I came into a trance,
Guero guertha cequidan, ni Ierusalemera bihurtu nincenean, eta templean othoitz eguiten nengoela transporta bainendin spirituz.
18 and I saw him saying to me, Haste and go forth in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me;
Eta ikus baineçan ciostana, Lehiadi eta ilki adi fitetz Ierusalemetic, ecen eztié recebituren hic niçaz emanen drauean testimoniagea.
19 and I said, Lord, they — they know that I was imprisoning and was scourging in every synagogue those believing on thee;
Eta nic erran neçan, Iauna, hec baceaquié ecen ni presoindeguira eçarten ari nincela eta açotatzen nituela synagoga gucietan hi baithan sinhesten çutenac.
20 and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was being poured forth, I also was standing by and assenting to his death, and keeping the garments of those putting him to death;
Eta issurten cenean Esteben hire martyraren odola, ni-ere present ninduán, eta consentitzen nián haren hiltzean, eta beguiratzen nitián hura hiltzen çutenén arropác.
21 and he said unto me, Go, because to nations far off I will send thee.'
Eta harc erran cieçadan, Habil: ecen nic Gentiletara vrrun igorriren aut.
22 And they were hearing him unto this word, and they lifted up their voice, saying, 'Away from the earth with such an one; for it is not fit for him to live.'
Eta ençuten çutén hura hitz hunetarano: orduan altcha ceçaten bere voza, erraiten çutela, Ken eçac lurretic horrelacoa: ecen eztuc raçoin hori vici den.
23 And they crying out and casting up their garments, and throwing dust into the air,
Eta hec heyagoraz ceudela, eta bere arropác iharrosten eta airerat errhautsa iraizten çutela.
24 the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, saying, 'By scourges let him be examined;' that he might know for what cause they were crying so against him.
Mana ceçan Capitainac hura fortaleçara eraman ledin, eta ordena ceçan açoteaz examina ledin, iaquin leçançát cer causagatic hala oihuz leuden haren contra.
25 And as he was stretching him with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion who was standing by, 'A man, a Roman, uncondemned — is it lawful to you to scourge;'
Bada hedéz estecatu çuten ondoan, erran cieçón aldean çayón Capitainari Paulec, Hauçu çarete Romaco den baten eta condemnatu eztenaren açotatzera?
26 and the centurion having heard, having gone near to the chief captain, told, saying, 'Take heed what thou art about to do, for this man is a Roman;'
Eta haur ençun çuenean Centenerac ioanic Capitainagana, conta cieçón hari, cioela, Ikussac cer eguiteco duán: ecen guiçon haur Romaco burgés duc.
27 and the chief captain having come near, said to him, 'Tell me, art thou a Roman?' and he said, 'Yes;'
Eta capitainac ethorriric harengana, erran cieçón, Erran ieçadac, eya hi Romaco burgés aicenez. Eta harc erran ceçan, Bay.
28 and the chief captain answered, 'I, with a great sum, did obtain this citizenship;' but Paul said, 'But I have been even born [so].'
Eta ihardets ceçan Capitainac, Nic somma handitan burgesia hori acquisitu diat. Eta Paulec dio, Eta ni iayo-ere burgés nauc.
29 Immediately, therefore, they departed from him who are about to examine him, and the chief captain also was afraid, having learned that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him,
Bertan orduan retira citecen harenganic hura examinatu behar çutenac: eta Capitaina-ere beldur cedin, eçaguturic ecen Romaco burgés cela, eta ceren estecatu baitzuen.
30 and on the morrow, intending to know the certainty wherefore he is accused by the Jews, he did loose him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their sanhedrim to come, and having brought down Paul, he set [him] before them.
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.
