¹Apollos Corinthen cela guertha cedin, Paul garaico bazter guciac iraganic ethor baitzedin Ephesera: eta han discipulu batzu eridenic erran ciecén,

¹And it came to pass, in Apollos` being in Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and having found certain disciples,

²Ala recebitu duçue Spiritu saindua sinhetsi vkan duçuenean? Eta hec erran cieçoten, Are Spiritu saindua denez-ere, eztiagu ençun.

²he said unto them, `The Holy Spirit did ye receive — having believed?` and they said unto him, `But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;`

³Orduan dioste, Certan bada batheyatu içan çarete? Eta hec erran ceçaten, Ioannesen Baptismoan.

³and he said unto them, `To what, then, were ye baptized?` and they said, `To John`s baptism.`

⁴Orduan Paulec erran ceçan, Ioannesec batheyatu vkan du emendamenduco Baptismoaz, ciotsala populuari, haren ondotic ethorteco cena baithan sinhets leçaten, erran nahi baita, Iesus Christ baithan.

⁴And Paul said, `John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe — that is, in the Christ — Jesus;`

⁵Gauça hauc ençunic bada, batheya citecen Iesus Iaunaren icenean.

⁵and they, having heard, were baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus,

⁶Eta escuac gainean eçarri cerauztenean Paulec, ethor cedin Spiritu saindua hayén gainera, eta minçatzen ciraden lengoagez, eta prophetizatzen çutén.

⁶and Paul having laid on them [his] hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying,

⁷Eta guiçon hauc gucioc ciraden hamabitarano.

⁷and all the men were, as it were, twelve.

⁸Guero bera sarthuric synagogán, Frangoqui minçatzen cen, hirur hilebethez disputatzen eta exhortatzen ari cela Iaunaren resumari dagozcan gaucéz.

⁸And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God,

⁹Eta nola batzu gogortzen baitziraden eta ezpaitzuten obeditu nahi, gaizqui Iaunaren bideaz minçatzen ciradela populuaren aitzinean, hetaric bera partituric, separa citzan discipuluac, egun oroz disputatzen ari cela Tyranno baten escholán.

⁹and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he did separate the disciples, every day reasoning in the school of a certain Tyrannus.

¹⁰Eta haur eguin içan cen bi vrthez: hala non Asian habitatzen ciraden guciéc, ençuten baitzutén Iesus Iaunaren hitza, hambat Iuduéc nola Grecoéc.

¹⁰And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia did hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks,

¹¹Eta costumatu etziraden verthuteac eguiten cituen Iaincoac Paulen escuz:

¹¹mighty works also — not common — was God working through the hands of Paul,

¹²Hala non are erién gainera ekarten baitzituzten haren gorputz gainetic crobitchetac eta conciertoac, eta ioaiten baitziraden hetaric eritassunac, eta spiritu gaichtoac hetaric ilkiten baitziraden.

¹²so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.

¹³Orduan enseya citecen hara huna ebilten ciraden Iudu exorcista batzu spiritu gaichtoac cituztenén gainean Iesus Iaunaren icenaren inuocatzen, erraiten çutela, Coniuratzen çaituztegu Paulec predicatzen duen Iesusen partez.

¹³And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon [them] to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, `We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul doth preach;`

¹⁴(Eta ciraden Sceua Iudu Sacrificadore principalarenic çazpi seme, haur eguiten çutenac)

¹⁴and there were certain — seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest — who are doing this thing;

¹⁵Baina ihardesten çuela spiritu gaichtoac, erran ceçan, Iesus eçagutzen diat, eta Paul baceaquiat nor den: baina çuec nor çarete?

¹⁵and the evil spirit, answering, said, `Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye — who are ye?`

¹⁶Eta oldarturic hetara spiritu gaichtoa çuen guiçonac, eta hæy garaithuric, bortcha eguin ceçan hayén contra: hala non biluzgorriric eta çaurthuric ihes eguin baitzeçaten etche hartaric.

¹⁶And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house,

¹⁷Eta haur ethor cedin gucién eçagutzera hambat Iuduen nola Greco Ephesen habitatzen ciradenénera: eta eror cedin beldurra hayen gucien gainera, eta magnificatzen cen Iesus Iaunaren icena.

¹⁷and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified,

¹⁸Eta sinhetsi çutenetaric anhitz ethorten ciraden confessatzen eta declaratzen cituztela bere eguinac.

¹⁸many also of those who did believe were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,

¹⁹Arte curiositatezcoz vsatu vkan çutenec-ere, anhitzec bere liburuäc ekarriric erre citzaten gucién aitzinean: eta hayén valioa estimaturic eriden ceçaten berroguey eta hamar milla dinerorena.

¹⁹and many of those who had practised the curious arts, having brought the books together, were burning [them] before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found [it] five myriads of silverlings;

²⁰Hala botheretsuqui augmentatzen cen Iaunaren hitza eta confirmatzen.

²⁰so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.

²¹Gauça hauc hunela complitu ciradenean delibera ceçan Paulec Spirituaz, Macedonia eta Achaia iraganic Ierusalemera ioaitera, cioela, Han içan ondoan, Roma-ere ikussi behar dut.

²¹And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying — `After my being there, it behoveth me also to see Rome;`

²²Eta igorriric Macedoniara aiutatzen çutenetaric biga baitziraden Timotheo eta Erasto, bera gueldi cedin dembora batetacotz Asian.

²²and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him — Timotheus and Erastus — he himself stayed a time in Asia.

²³Baina eguin cedin dembora hartan truble handibat doctrinaren causaz.

²³And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the way,

²⁴Ecen Demetrius deitzen cen cilharguile, Dianaren cilharrezco templetchoguile batec, anhitz irabaz eraciten cerauen officiocoey:

²⁴for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the artificers gain not a little,

²⁵Hec bilduric, eta halaco gaucetaco officier ciradenac, erran ceçan, Guiçonác, badaquiçue ecen officio hunetaric heldu diradela gure onac:

²⁵whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who did work about such things, he said, `Men, ye know that by this work we have our wealth;

²⁶Eta badacussaçue eta badançuçue nola ez Ephesen solament, baina quasi Asia gucian Paul hunec sinhets eraciric itzuli duela populu handi, erraiten duela, ecen eztiradela iainco escuz eguiten diradenac.

²⁶and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by hands;

²⁷Eta peril da ez solament gure gauça descrida dadin, baina are Diana handiaren templea guehiagoric deus estima eztadin, eta deseguin eztadin haren maiestate Asia guciac eta munduac ohoratzen dutena.

²⁷and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world doth worship.`

²⁸Eta gauça hauc ençunic, eta hiraz betheric oihuz iar citecen, Ephesianoen Diana handiá!

²⁸And they having heard, and having become full of wrath, were crying out, saying, `Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!`

²⁹Eta bethe cedin hiri gucia confusionez, eta oldar citecen gogo batez theatrera, harturic Gayo eta Aristarche Macedonianoac, Paulen bideco lagunac.

²⁹and the whole city was filled with confusion, they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul`s fellow-travellers.

³⁰Eta Paul populua baithara sarthu nahi cenean, etzeçaten vtzi discipuluéc.

³⁰And on Paul`s purposing to enter in unto the populace, the disciples were not suffering him,

³¹Baina Asiaco principaletaric batzuc-ere, nola baitziraden haren adisquide, harengana igorriric othoitz ceguioten, ez ledin theatrera presenta.

³¹and certain also of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent unto him, were entreating him not to venture himself into the theatre.

³²Bada batzu bataz oihuz ceuden, eta berceac berceaz: ecen confus cen compainiá, eta anhitzec etzaquiten cergatic bildu içan ciraden.

³²Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they were come together;

³³Orduan gendetzetic campora auança ceçaten Alexandre, Iuduéc hura bulkatzen çutela. Eta Alexandrec, ichil litecen escuaz keinu eguinic, nahi ceraucan causá allegatu populuari.

³³and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander — the Jews thrusting him forward — and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defence to the populace,

³⁴Baina eçagutu çutenean ecen hura Iudu cela, altcha cedin gucietaric vozbat, quasi bi orenez oihu eguiten çutela, Ephesianoén Diana handiá!

³⁴and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, `Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!`

³⁵Orduan scribariac gendetzea appacegaturic, erran ceçan, Epheseco guiçonác, cein da guiçona eztaquiana ecen Epheseco hiria dedicatua dela Diana handiaren, eta Iupiterganic iautsi içan den imaginaren cerbitzura?

³⁵And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, saith, `Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is a devotee of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus?

³⁶Nehor bada gauça hautan contrasta ecin daitenaren gainean, appacega çaitezten beharda, eta deus desordenatuqui eztaguiçuen.

³⁶these things, then, not being to be gainsaid, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

³⁷Ecen ekarri vkan dituçue guiçon hauc ezpaitirade ez sacrilege, ez ezpaitute çuen iaincossá diffamatzen.

³⁷`For ye brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your goddess;

³⁸Beraz baldin Demetriusec eta harequin diraden officieréc eguitecoric baduté cembeiten contra, gorte eduquiten da, eta badirade Proconsulac, elkar accusa beçate.

³⁸if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the artificers with him with any one have a matter, court [days] are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another.

³⁹Eta baldin berce gauçaz deus galdeguiten baduçue, congregatione bidezqui bilduan concludi ahal daite.

³⁹`And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters, in the legal assembly it shall be determined;

⁴⁰Ecen peril da seditionez accusa ezgaitecen, egungo egunagatic, truble huneçaz raçoin eman ahal deçaquegun causaric eztenaz gueroz. Eta gauça hauc erran cituenean biltzarreari congit eman cieçón.

⁴⁰for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day, there being no occasion by which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse;`

⁴¹and these things having said, he dismissed the assembly.
