¹Festus bada prouincian sarthuric hirur egunen buruän ioan cedin Ierusalemera Cesarearic.

¹Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,

²Eta compari citecen haren aitzinean Sacrificadore subiranoa eta Iuduén arteco principalenac Paulen contra, eta othoitz eguiten ceraucaten.

²and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made manifest to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,

³Fauore esquez ceudela haren contra, hurá erekar leçançát Ierusalemera: celata çaizcolaric hura bidean hil leçatençat.

³asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.

⁴Eta Festusec ihardets ceçan, vngui beguiratua içanen cela Paul Cesarean, eta bera sarri haraco licela.

⁴Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither,

⁵Bada çuetaric (dio) ahal ditecenac, elkarrequin iauts bitez, eta baldin cembeit hoguen guiçon haur baithan bada accusa beçate.

⁵`Therefore those able among you — saith he — having come down together, if there be anything in this man — let them accuse him;`

⁶Eta hamar egun baicen hayén artean egon gaberic, iauts cedin Cesareara: eta biharamunean iarriric iudicioco alkian, mana ceçan Paul erekar ledin.

⁶and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought;

⁷Hura hara ethorri cenean ingura ceçaten Ierusalemetic iautsi içan ciraden Iuduéc accusatione anhitz eta piçuric ekarten çutela Paulen contra, cein ecin phoroga baitzitzaqueizten:

⁷and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem — many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,

⁸Ihardesten çuelaric Paulec, ecen deusetan ezluela faltatu Iuduén Leguearen contra, ez templearen contra, ez Cesaren contra.

⁸he making defence — `Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar — did I commit any sin.`

⁹Baina Festusec atseguin eguin nahiz Iuduey, ihardesten ceraucala Pauli, erran ceçan, Nahi aiz Ierusalemera igan eta han gauça hauçaz iugeatu ene aitzinean?

⁹And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?`

¹⁰Eta erran ceçan Paulec Cesaren iudicioco alki aitzinean niagoc, non behar bainaiz iugeatu. Iuduey deusetan eztiraueat iniuriaric eguin, hic-ere vngui daquián beçala.

¹⁰and Paul said, `At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know;

¹¹Ecen baldin gaizquiric eguin badut, edo deus herio mereci duenic accommettitu badut, eztiát hiltzera refusatzen: baina baldin horiéc accusatzen nautenetaric deus ezpada, nehorc horiéy ecin eman nieçaqueec: Cesargana appellatzen nauc.

¹¹for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!`

¹²Orduan Festusec conseilluarequin minçaturic, ihardets ceçan, Cesargana appellatu aiz? Cesargana ioanen aiz.

¹²then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, `To Caesar thou hast appealed; to Caesar thou shalt go.`

¹³Eta cembeit egunen buruän Agrippa reguea eta Bernice iauts eitecen Cesareara Festusen salutatzera.

¹³And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus,

¹⁴Eta anhitz egun han egonic Festusec Regueri aippa cieçón Paulen eguitecoa, erraiten çuela, Guiçon-bat vtzi içan duc Felixez presonér:

¹⁴and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, `There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,

¹⁵Ceinen causaz, ethorri nincenean Ierusalemera, compari baitzitecen Sacrificadore principalac eta Iuduén Ancianoac, haren contra condemnatione requeritzen çutela.

¹⁵about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,

¹⁶Eta ihardetsi diraueat, eztutela Romanoéc costuma nehoren heriotara liuratzeco, accusatzen denac bere accusaçaleac aitzinean dituqueeno, eta defendatzeco leku har deçaqueeno hoguenaz.

¹⁶unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against [him].

¹⁷Bada huna ethorri ciradenean, luçamenduric batre gabe, biharamunean iudicioco alkian iarriric, mana nieçán ekar ledin guiçona.

¹⁷`They, therefore, having come together — I, making no delay, on the succeeding [day] having sat upon the tribunal, did command the man to be brought,

¹⁸Haren accusaçaleac han present ciradela, etzeçateán hoguenic batre ekar, nic vste nuenaren gainean.

¹⁸concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,

¹⁹Baina questione batzu citiztean haren contra berén superstitioneaz, eta edocein Iesus hilic vici licela Paulec seguratzen çuen batez.

¹⁹but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;

²⁰Eta nic, halaco questioneaz eguitecotan içanez, erran nieçoán, eya nahi licenez Ierusalemera ioan, eta han iugea ledin gauça hauçaz.

²⁰and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things —

²¹Baina ceren appella baitzedin reserua ledinçát Augustoren eçagutzera, mana nieçan beguira ledin hura igor neçaqueno Cesargana.

²¹but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.`

²²Agrippac orduan erran cieçón Festusi, Nahi niquec neurorrec-ere guiçona ençun. Eta harc, Bihar, dio, ençunen duc.

²²And Agrippa said unto Festus, `I was wishing also myself to hear the man;` and he said, `To-morrow thou shalt hear him;`

²³Bada biharamunean ethorri ciradenean Agrippa eta Bernice pompa handirequin, eta sarthu ciradenean audiencián capitainequin eta hirico gendé authoritatezcoequin: Festusen manamenduz erekar cedin Paul.

²³on the morrow, therefore — on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered — Paul was brought forth.

²⁴Eta Festusec dio, Regue Agrippá, eta hemen gurequin çareten guciác, badacussaçue guiçon haur, hunez Iuduén compainia gucia minçatu içan çait hambat Ierusalemen nola hemen, heyagoraz, hunec eztuela guehiagoric vici behar.

²⁴And Festus said, `King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, ye see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews did deal with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer;

²⁵Baina nic eriden dut, deus hunec eztuela eguin herio mereci duenic: badaric-ere bera Augustogana appellatu denaz gueroz, deliberatu dut harengana igortera.

²⁵and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,

²⁶Huneçaz cer seguric scriba dieçodan iaunari eztut. Halacotz ekarri vkan dut çuetara, eta principalqui hiregana, regue Agrippá, informatione eguinic cer scriba dudançát.

²⁶concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to [my] lord, wherefore I brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write;

²⁷Ecen eztela raçoinic irudi daut, presonér baten igortea, eta haren contrataco hoguenac eztitecen notifica.

²⁷for it doth seem to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.`
