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, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,

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

²he said to them, Did ye receive [the] Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they [said] to him, We did not even hear if [the] Holy Spirit was [come].

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

³And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.

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 baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.

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

⁵And when they heard that, they were baptised 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 [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

⁷Eta guiçon hauc gucioc ciraden hamabitarano.

⁷And all the men were about twelve.

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

⁸And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading [the things] concerning the kingdom 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.

⁹But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of 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 took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

¹¹Eta costumatu etziraden verthuteac eguiten cituen Iaincoac Paulen escuz:

¹¹And God wrought no ordinary miracles by 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 napkins or aprons were brought from his body [and put] upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.

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 Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.

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

¹⁴And there were certain [men], seven sons of Sceva, Jewish high priest, who were doing this.

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

¹⁵But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but *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 the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

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 inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

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

¹⁸And many of those that believed came confessing and declaring their deeds.

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 that practised curious arts brought their books [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

²⁰Hala botheretsuqui augmentatzen cen Iaunaren hitza eta confirmatzen.

²⁰Thus with might the word of the Lord increased and prevailed.

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 his spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome also.

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

²²And having sent into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timotheus and Erastus, he remained himself awhile in Asia.

²³Baina eguin cedin dembora hartan truble handibat doctrinaren causaz.

²³And there took place at that time no small disturbance about the way.

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

²⁴For a certain [man] by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans;

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

²⁵whom having brought together, and those who wrought in such things, he said, Men, ye know that our well-living arises from this work,

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 this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great crowd, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying that they are no gods which are made with 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.

²⁷Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres.

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

²⁸And having heard [this], and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great [is] 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, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.

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

³⁰But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not;

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

³¹and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.

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

³²Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together.

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

³³But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people.

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

³⁴But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great [is] 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 townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven?

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

³⁶These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong.

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

³⁷For ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.

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

³⁸If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.

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

³⁹But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.

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 also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.

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