¹Orduan erran ceçan Sacrificadore subiranoac, Gauça horiac horrela othe dirade?

¹And the chief priest said, `Are then these things so?`

²Eta harc erran ceçan, Guiçon anayeác eta aitác, ençuçue, Gloriazco Iaincoa aguer cequión gure aita Abrahami Mesopotamian cenean , Charranen habita cedin baino lehen:

²and he said, `Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken: The God of the glory did appear to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,

³Eta erran cieçón, Ilki adi eure herritic, eta eure ahaidetaric, eta athor nic eracutsiren drauädan lurrera.

³and He said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and out of thy kindred, and come to a land that I shall shew thee.

⁴Orduan ilkiric Chaldeoén herritic habita cedin Charranen. Eta handic, haren aita hil cenean Iaincoac eraman ceçan hura çuec habitatzen çareten lur hunetara.

⁴`Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from thence, after the death of his father, He did remove him to this land wherein ye now dwell,

⁵Eta etzieçón heretageric eman hartan, ez are oinaren bethea-ere: possessionetan hura emanen ceraucala promettatu baceraucan-ere, eta haren haciari haren ondoan, haourric ezpaçuen-ere.

⁵and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and did promise to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him — he having no child.

⁶Baina hunela erran ceçan Iaincoac, Habitaturen duc hire hacia berceren lurrean: eta han hura suiectionetaco eguinen dié, eta gaizqui tractaturen laur ehun vrthez.

⁶`And God spake thus, That his seed shall be sojourning in a strange land, and they shall cause it to serve, and shall do it evil four hundred years,

⁷Baina hec cerbitzatu duqueiten gendea punituren diat nic, dio Iaincoac: eta guero ilkiren dituc, eta cerbitzaturen nié leku hunetan.

⁷and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me service in this place.

⁸Eta eman cieçón Circoncisionezco alliançá: eta hunela Abrahamec engendra ceçan Isaac, eta circoncidi ceçan hura çortzigarreneco egunean: eta Isaac-ec engendra ceçan Iacob, eta Iacob-ec hamabi Patriarchác.

⁸`And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begat Isaac, and did circumcise him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob — the twelve patriarchs;

⁹Eta Patriarchéc inuidiaz mouituric, sal ceçaten Ioseph Egypterát eraman ledinçat: baina Iaincoa cen harequin:

⁹and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,

¹⁰Eta idoqui ceçan hura bere tribulatione gucietaric, eta eman cieçón gratia eta sapientia Egypteco regue Pharaoren aitzinean, ceinec ordena baitzeçan hura Egypteco eta bere etche gucico gobernadore.

¹⁰and did deliver him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he did set him — governor over Egypt and all his house.

¹¹Eta ethor cedin gossetebat Egypteco herri gucira, eta Chanaan-era, eta herstura handia: eta etzutén erideiten iatecoric gure Aitéc.

¹¹`And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,

¹²Baina ençun ceçanean Iacob-ec bacela ogui Egypten, igor citzan gure Aitác lehenic.

¹²and Jacob having heard that there was corn in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;

¹³Eta bigarren aldian eçagut cedin Ioseph bere anayéz, eta declara cequion Pharaori Iosephen leinua.

¹³and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brethren, and Joseph`s kindred became manifest to Pharaoh,

¹⁴Orduan mandatariac igorriric Iosephec erekar ceçan bere aita Iacob, eta bere ahacoa gucia, baitziraden hiruroguey eta hamaborz persona.

¹⁴and Joseph having sent, did call for his father Jacob, and all his kindred — with seventy and five souls —

¹⁵Iauts cedin bada Iacob Egyptera, eta hil cedin hura, eta gure Aitác.

¹⁵and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,

¹⁶Eta eraman içan ciraden Sichemera, eta eçarri içan ciraden sepulchrean, cein erossi baitzuen Abrahamec diruren preciotan Emor Sichemeco semearen semetaric.

¹⁶and they were carried over into Sychem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Sychem.

¹⁷Baina Iaincoac Abrahami iuratu ceraucan promessaren dembora hurbiltzen cela, augmenta cedin populua eta multiplica Egypten:

¹⁷`And according as the time of the promise was drawing nigh, which God did swear to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁸Berce reguebat Ioseph eçagutu etzuenic altcha cedino.

¹⁸till another king rose, who had not known Joseph;

¹⁹Hare gure nationearen contra fineciaz vsatzen çuela, gaizqui tracta citzan gure aitác, bere haourrén heriotara abandonna eraciterano, arraçá falta ledinçát.

¹⁹this one, having dealt subtilely with our kindred, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babes, that they might not live;

²⁰Dembora hartan sor cedin Moyses, eta cen Iaincoaren gogaraco: cein hirur hilebethez haci içan baitzén bere aitaren etchean.

²⁰in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up three months in the house of his father;

²¹Guero hura abandonnatu içan cenean, era-man ceçan Pharaoren alabác, eta haz ceçan beretaco semetan.

²¹and he having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and did rear him to herself for a son;

²²Eta instruitu içan cen Moyses Egyptecoen sapientia gucian, eta cen botheretsu erranetan eta eguinetan.

²²and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.

²³Baina bethe çayonean berroguey vrtheren demborá, igan cequión bihotzera bere anayén Israeleco semén, visitatzera ioan ledin:

²³`And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came upon his heart to look after his brethren, the sons of Israel;

²⁴Eta ikussiric iniuria hartzen çuembat, defenda ceçan eta mendeca bidegabe hartzen çuena, Egyptianoa ioric.

²⁴and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he did defend, and did justice to the oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian;

²⁵Eta vste çuen aditzen çutela haren anayéc ecen Iaincoac haren escuz deliurança eman behar cerauela: baina hec etzeçaten adi.

²⁵and he was supposing his brethren to understand that God through his hand doth give salvation; and they did not understand.

²⁶Eta biharamunean hec guducatzen ciradela, eriden cedin hayén artean, eta enseya cedin hayén baquetzen, cioela, Guiçonác, anaye çarete çuec: cergatic batac berceari gaizqui eguiten draucaçue?

²⁶`On the succeeding day, also, he shewed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, brethren are ye, wherefore do ye injustice to one another?

²⁷Baina hurcoari gaizqui eguiten ceraucanac bulka ceçan hura, cioela, Norc ordenatu au gure gaineco prince eta iuge?

²⁷and he who is doing injustice to the neighbour, did thrust him away, saying, Who set thee a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁸Ala ni hic nahi nauc hil, atzo Egyptianoa hil auen beçala?

²⁸to kill me dost thou wish, as thou didst kill yesterday the Egyptian?

²⁹Orduan ihes eguin ceçan Moysesec hitz hunegatic, eta arrotz eguin cedin Madiango lurrean, non engendra baitzitzan bi seme.

²⁹`And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons,

³⁰Eta berroguey vrthe complitu cituenean aguer cequión Sinaco mendico desertuan Iaunaren Aingueruä, berro batetaco su-garrean.

³⁰and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai a messenger of the Lord, in a flame of fire of a bush,

³¹Eta Moyses hori ikussiric miraz iar cedin visioneaz: eta consideratzera hurbiltzen cela eguin cedin harengana Iaunaren voza,

³¹and Moses having seen did wonder at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord unto him,

³²Cioela, Ni nauc hire aitén Iaincoa, Abrahamen Iaincoa., eta Isaac-en Iaincoa, eta Iacob-en Iaincoa. Eta Moyses ikara çabilala etzén consideratzera venturatzen.

³²I [am] the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. `And Moses having become terrified, durst not behold,

³³Orduan erran cieçon Iaunac, Eraunzquic eure oinetaco çapatác: ecen hi aicen lekua lur saindua duc.

³³and the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place in which thou hast stood is holy ground;

³⁴Ikussi diat, ikussi diat neure populu Egypten denaren afflictionea, eta hayén suspirioa ençun diat, eta iautsi içan nauc hayén idoquitera, orain bada athor, igorriren aut Egyptera.

³⁴seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that [is] in Egypt, and their groaning I did hear, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send thee to Egypt.

³⁵Moyses arnegatu çutén haur, cioitela, Norc hi ordenatu au prince eta iuge? haur bada Iaincoac prince eta liberaçale igor çeçan, Aingueru berroan aguertu içan çayonaren escuz.

³⁵`This Moses, whom they did refuse, saying, Who did set thee a ruler and a judge? this one God a ruler and a redeemer did send, in the hand of a messenger who appeared to him in the bush;

³⁶Hunec campora idoqui citzan hec, miraculuac eta signoac eguinez Egypten, eta itsasso gorrian, eta desertuan, berroguey vrthez.

³⁶this one did bring them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years;

³⁷Moyses haur da erran cerauena Israeleco haourrey, Prophetabat suscitaturen drauçue çuen Iainco Iaunac çuen anayetaric ni beçalacoric: hari beha çaquizquiote.

³⁷this is the Moses who did say to the sons of Israel: A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me, him shall ye hear.

³⁸Haur da congregationean desertuan içan cena, Aingueruärequin, cein minçatzen baitzayón Sinaco mendian, eta gure Aitequin içana, ceinec recebitu baititu hitz viciac guri emaiteco.

³⁸`This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the messenger who is speaking to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers who did receive the living oracles to give to us;

³⁹Ceini ezpaitzaizca behatu nahi içan gure Aitác, baina refusatu vkan duté, eta itzuli içan dirade bere bihotzez Egypterát:

³⁹to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but did thrust away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

⁴⁰Ciotsatela Aaroni, Eguin ietzaguc gure aitzinean dohazquen Iaincoac: ecen Moysesi, ceinec Egypteco lurretic campora eraman baiquaitu, etzeaquiagu cer heldu içan çayón.

⁴⁰saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who shall go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what hath happened to him.

⁴¹. Eta aretzebat eguin ceçaten egun hetan, eta offrenda cieçoten sacrificio idolari: eta delectatzen ciraden bere escuezco obra eguinetan.

⁴¹`And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands,

⁴²Orduan guibelaz itzul cequién Iaincoa, eta abandonna citzan ceruco gendarmeriaren cerbitzatzera: Prophetén liburuän scribatua den beçala, Israeleco etcheá, ala offrendatu drauzquidaçue niri oblationeac eta sacrificioac berroguey vrthez desertuan?

⁴²and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁴³Aitzitic hartu vkan duçue Moloch-en tabernaclea, eta çuen Iainco Remphamen içarra, eta figura hec adoratzeco eguin dituçue: hunegatic irionen çaituztet Babylonez alde hartara.

⁴³and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan — the figures that ye made to bow before them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.

⁴⁴Testimoniageco tabernaclea gure aitequin içan da desertuan, nola ordenatu baitzuen Moysesi erran ceraucanac, hura eguin leçan ikussi çuen formaren ançora.

⁴⁴`The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;

⁴⁵Tabernacle hura-ere gure Aitéc recebituric eraman ceçaten Iosuerequin Gentilén possessionera, cein iraitzi vkan baititu Iaincoac gure Aitén aitzinetic Dauid-en egunetarano.

⁴⁵which also our fathers having in succession received, did bring in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God did drive out from the presence of our fathers, till the days of David,

⁴⁶Ceinec eriden baitzeçan gratia Iaincoaren aitzinean, eta esca cedin eriden leçan tabernaclebat Iacob-en Iaincoarendaco.

⁴⁶who found favour before God, and requested to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob;

⁴⁷Eta Salomonec edifica cieçón etchebat.

⁴⁷and Solomon built Him an house.

⁴⁸Baina Subiranoa ezta escuz eguin templetan habitatzen nola Prophetác erraiten baitu,

⁴⁸`But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not dwell, according as the prophet saith:

⁴⁹Ceruä da ene thronoa, eta lurra ene oinén scabellá. Cer etche edificaturen drautaçue niri? dio Iaunac: edo cein da ene repausatzeco lekua?

⁴⁹The heaven [is] My throne, and the earth My footstool; what house will ye build to Me? saith the Lord, or what [is] the place of My rest?

⁵⁰Ala eztitu ene escuac eguin gauça horiac guciac?

⁵⁰hath not My hand made all these things?

⁵¹Gende garhondo gogorrác, eta bihotz eta beharri circonciditu gabeác, çuec bethi Spiritu sainduari contrastatzen çaizquiote, çuen aitác beçala, çuec-ere.

⁵¹`Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! ye do always the Holy Spirit resist; as your fathers — also ye;

⁵²Prophetetaric cein eztute persecutatu çuen aitéc? hil-ere badituzte Iustoaren aduenimendua aitzinetic erran dutenac, ceinen tradiçale eta erhaile orain çuec içan baitzarete.

⁵²which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now ye betrayers and murderers have become,

⁵³Ceinéc recebitu baituçue Leguea Aingueruén ministerioz, eta ezpaituçue beguiratu.

⁵³who received the law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].`

⁵⁴Eta gauça hauén ençutean, leher eguiten çuten bere bihotzetan eta hortz garrascotsez ceuden haren contra.

⁵⁴And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and did gnash the teeth at him;

⁵⁵Baina nola baitzén Spiritu sainduaz bethea, cerurát beguiac altchaturic ikus ceçan Iaincoaren gloria, eta Iesus Iaincoaren escuinean cegoela.

⁵⁵and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

⁵⁶Eta dio, Huná, ikusten ditut ceruäc irequiac. eta guiçonaren Semea Iaincoaren escuinean dagoela.

⁵⁶and he said, `Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.`

⁵⁷Orduan hec oihu handiz iarriric bere beharriac boça citzaten, eta gogo batez oldar citecen haren contra.

⁵⁷And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and did rush with one accord upon him,

⁵⁸Eta hiritic campora iraitziric lapidatzen çuten: eta testimonioec eçar citzaten bere abillamenduac Saul deitzen cen guiçon gazte baten oinetara.

⁵⁸and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning [him] — and the witnesses did put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul —

⁵⁹Eta lapidatzen çutén Esteben, inuocatzen eta erraiten çuela, Iesus Iauná, recebi eçac ene spiritua.

⁵⁹and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, `Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;`

⁶⁰Eta belhaurico iarriric oihu eguin ceçan ocengui Iauna, eztieceala imputa bekatu haur, Eta haur erran çuenean lokar cedin.

⁶⁰and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, `Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;` and this having said, he fell asleep.
