¹Guiçon anayeác eta aitác, ençuçue orain çuec baithan emaiten dudan defensá.

¹Brethren and fathers, hear my defence which I now make to you.

²(Eta ençun vkan çutenean ecen Hebraicoén lengoagez minço litzayela, hambat silentio handiago eguin ceçaten: eta erran ceçan,)

²And hearing that he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more quiet; and he says,

³Ni 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:

³*I* am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to [the] exactness of the law of [our] fathers, being zealous for God, as *ye* are all this day;

⁴Doctrina haur persecutatu vkan dudana heriorano, estecatuz eta presoindeguietara eçarriz hambat guiçonac nola emazteac:

⁴who have persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women;

⁵Sacrificadore subiranoa-ere testimonio dudan beçala, eta Ancianoén compainia gucia: are hetaric guthunac anayetara harturic, Damascerat ioaiten nincén, han ciradenac estecaturic Ierusalemera ekartera, puni litecençát.

⁵as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the elderhood: from whom also, having received letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus to bring those also who were there, bound, to Jerusalem, to be punished.

⁶Eta guertha cedin bidean ioaiten eta Damascera hurbiltzen nincela egu-erdi irian, subitoqui cerutico chistmist ançoco argui handi batec ingura bainençan:

⁶And it came to pass, as I was journeying and drawing near to Damascus, that, about mid-day, there suddenly shone out of heaven a great light round about me.

⁷Eta eror nendin lurrera, eta ençun neçan voz-bat, ciostala, Saul, Saul, cergatic ni persecutatzen nauc?

⁷And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁸Eta nic ihardets neçan, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran cieçadan, Ni nauc Iesus Nazareno hic persecutatzen duana.

⁸And *I* answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, *I* am Jesus the Nazaraean, whom *thou* persecutest.

⁹Eta enequin ciradenéc, arguia ikus ceçaten, eta icit citecen, baina enequin minço cenaren voza etzeçaten ençun.

⁹But they that were with me beheld the light, [and were filled with fear], but heard not the voice of him that was speaking to me.

¹⁰Orduan erran neçan, Cer eguinen dut Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran cieçadan, Iaiquiric oha Damascera, eta han erranen çaizquic, eguin ditzán ordenatu çaizquian gauça guciac.

¹⁰And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rise up, and go to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which it is appointed thee to do.

¹¹Eta ceren deus ezpainuen ikusten argui haren claretatearen causaz, enequin ciradenéz escutic eraman içanic Damascera ethor nendin.

¹¹And as I could not see, through the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came to Damascus.

¹²Gueroztic Ananias Leguearen araura Iaincoaren beldur cen guiçombat, han egoiten ciraden Iudu gucietaric testimoniage ona çuena, enegana ethor cedin.

¹²And a certain Ananias, a pious man according to the law, borne witness to by all the Jews who dwelt [there],

¹³Eta ene aldean cegoela erran cieçadan, Saul anayé, recebi eçac ikustea. Eta nic ordu hartan berean harenganat beha neçan:

¹³coming to me and standing by me, said to me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And *I*, in the same hour, received my sight and saw him.

¹⁴Eta harc erran ceçan, Gure aitén Iaincoac elegitu au hi bere vorondatearen eçagutzeco eta Iustoaren ikusteco, eta haren ahotic vozaren ençuteco.

¹⁴And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen thee beforehand to know his will, and to see the just one, and to hear a voice out of his mouth;

¹⁵Ecen testimonio içanen atzayo guiçon guciac baithara, ikussi eta ençun dituan gaucéz.

¹⁵for thou shalt be a witness for him to all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

¹⁶Orain bada cer berancen duc? Iaiqui adi eta batheyadi, eta chahu itzac eure bekatuac, Iaunaren icena inuocaturic.

¹⁶And now why lingerest thou? Arise and get baptised, and have thy sins washed away, calling on his name.

¹⁷Guero guertha cequidan, ni Ierusalemera bihurtu nincenean, eta templean othoitz eguiten nengoela transporta bainendin spirituz.

¹⁷And it came to pass when I had returned to Jerusalem, and as I was praying in the temple, that I became in ecstasy,

¹⁸Eta ikus baineçan ciostana, Lehiadi eta ilki adi fitetz Ierusalemetic, ecen eztié recebituren hic niçaz emanen drauean testimoniagea.

¹⁸and saw him saying to me, Make haste and go quickly out of Jerusalem, for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

¹⁹Eta nic erran neçan, Iauna, hec baceaquié ecen ni presoindeguira eçarten ari nincela eta açotatzen nituela synagoga gucietan hi baithan sinhesten çutenac.

¹⁹And *I* said, Lord, they themselves know that *I* was imprisoning and beating in every synagogue those that believe on thee;

²⁰Eta issurten cenean Esteben hire martyraren odola, ni-ere present ninduán, eta consentitzen nián haren hiltzean, eta beguiratzen nitián hura hiltzen çutenén arropác.

²⁰and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was shed, I also myself was standing by and consenting, and kept the clothes of them who killed him.

²¹Eta harc erran cieçadan, Habil: ecen nic Gentiletara vrrun igorriren aut.

²¹And he said to me, Go, for *I* will send thee to the nations afar off.

²²Eta ençuten çutén hura hitz hunetarano: orduan altcha ceçaten bere voza, erraiten çutela, Ken eçac lurretic horrelacoa: ecen eztuc raçoin hori vici den.

²²And they heard him until this word, and lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a one as that from the earth, for it was not fit he should live.

²³Eta hec heyagoraz ceudela, eta bere arropác iharrosten eta airerat errhautsa iraizten çutela.

²³And as they were crying, and throwing away their clothes, and casting dust into the air,

²⁴Mana ceçan Capitainac hura fortaleçara eraman ledin, eta ordena ceçan açoteaz examina ledin, iaquin leçançát cer causagatic hala oihuz leuden haren contra.

²⁴the chiliarch commanded him to be brought into the fortress, saying that he should be examined by scourging, that he might ascertain for what cause they cried thus against him.

²⁵Bada hedéz estecatu çuten ondoan, erran cieçón aldean çayón Capitainari Paulec, Hauçu çarete Romaco den baten eta condemnatu eztenaren açotatzera?

²⁵But as they stretched him forward with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood [by], Is it lawful for you to scourge a man [who is] a Roman and uncondemned?

²⁶Eta haur ençun çuenean Centenerac ioanic Capitainagana, conta cieçón hari, cioela, Ikussac cer eguiteco duán: ecen guiçon haur Romaco burgés duc.

²⁶And the centurion, having heard it, went and reported it to the chiliarch, saying, What art thou going to do? for this man is a Roman.

²⁷Eta capitainac ethorriric harengana, erran cieçón, Erran ieçadac, eya hi Romaco burgés aicenez. Eta harc erran ceçan, Bay.

²⁷And the chiliarch coming up said to him, Tell me, Art *thou* a Roman? And he said, Yes.

²⁸Eta ihardets ceçan Capitainac, Nic somma handitan burgesia hori acquisitu diat. Eta Paulec dio, Eta ni iayo-ere burgés nauc.

²⁸And the chiliarch answered, *I*, for a great sum, bought this citizenship. And Paul said, But *I* was also [free] born.

²⁹Bertan orduan retira citecen harenganic hura examinatu behar çutenac: eta Capitaina-ere beldur cedin, eçaguturic ecen Romaco burgés cela, eta ceren estecatu baitzuen.

²⁹Immediately therefore those who were going to examine him left him, and the chiliarch also was afraid when he ascertained that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

³⁰Eta 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 .

³⁰And on the morrow, desirous to know the certainty [of the matter] why he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and having brought Paul down set him before them.
