¹Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.”

¹Eta beguiac conseillua baitharát chuchenduric Paulec erran ceçan, Guiçon anayeác, nic conscientia on gucitan cerbitzatu vkan dut Iaincoa egun hunetarano.

²The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

²Orduan Ananias Sacrificadore subiranoac mana citzan aldean çaizconac, hura muthurrean io leçaten.

³Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”

³Orduan Paulec erran cieçón, Cehaturen au hi Iaincoac, paret churituá: eta hi baihago Leguearen arauez ene iugeatzeco, eta Leguearen contra manatzen duc ni ceha nadin?

⁴Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”

⁴Eta present ciradenéc erran ceçaten, Iaincoaren Sacrificadore subiranoa iniuriatzen duc?

⁵Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’” Exodus 22:28

⁵Eta erran ceçan Paulec, Anayeác, ez naquian Sacrificadore subirano cela: ecen scribatua da, Eure populuaren princeaz eztuc gaizqui erranen.

⁶But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”

⁶Eta iaquin çuenean Paulec ecen partida bata cela Sadduceuetaric, eta bercea Phariseuetaric, oihuz iar cedin conseilluan, Guiçon anayeác, ni Phariseu naiz, Phariseu seme: hilén sperançáz eta resurrectioneaz ni accusatzen naiz.

⁷When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

⁷Eta haur erran çuenean, eguin cedin seditione Phariseuén eta Sadduceuén artean: eta çathi cedin biltzarrea.

⁸For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

⁸Ecen Sadduceuéc erraiten dute eztela resurrectioneric, ez Aingueruric ez spirituric: baina Phariseuéc bata eta bercea aithor dituzté.

⁹A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”

⁹Eta eguin içan cen heyagora handibat: orduan Phariseuén alde ciraden Scribác iaiquiric baciharducaten, erraiten çutela, Eztugu deus gaitzic eriden guiçon hunetan, baina baldin spiritubat edo Ainguerubat minçatu baçayó ezgaitecela Iaincoaren contra batailla.

¹⁰When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

¹⁰Eta seditione handi eguin içanic, Capitainac beldurturic, heçaz Paul çathica ledin, mana ceçan gendarmesac iauts litecen hayén artetic haren harapatzera eta fortaleçara eramaitera.

¹¹The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”

¹¹Eta ondoco gauèan Iaunac, hari presentatzen çayola, erran cieçón, Paul, auc bihotz on: ecen nola testificatu baituc niçaz Ierusalemen, hala behar duc Roman-ere testificatu.

¹²When it was day, some of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

¹²Eta arguitu cenean, Iuduetaric batzuc eguinic biltzarre eta vot maledictionerequin, lioitela, ezlutela ianen ez edanen Paul hil leçaqueteno.

¹³There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.

¹³Eta berroguey baino guehiago ciraden coniuratione haur eguin çutenac.

¹⁴They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

¹⁴Hec ethorriric Sacrificadore principaletara eta Ancianoetara, erran ceçaten, Vot eguin dugu maledictionerequin, deus eztugula dastaturen Paul hil duqueguno.

¹⁵Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”

¹⁵Orain bada çuec iaquin eraci ieçoçue Capitainari, conseilluaren vorondatetic bihar hura erekar dieçaçuela, harçaz cerbait hobequi eçagutu nahi bacinduté beçala: eta gu hura hurbil dadin baino lehen, prest gara haren hiltzera.

¹⁶But Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.

¹⁶Baina Paulen arrebaren semea ençunic celatác, ethor cedin, eta sarthuric fortaleçara conta cieçón Pauli.

¹⁷Paul summoned one of the centurions, and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”

¹⁷Eta Paulec Centeneretaric bat beregana deithuric, erran cieçón, Guiçon gazte haur eramac Capitainagana, ecen badic cerbait hari erran beharric.

¹⁸So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you, who has something to tell you.”

¹⁸Harc bada hura harturic eraman ceçan Capitainagana, eta erran ceçan, Paul presonerac beregana deithuric othoitz eguin dirautac, guiçon gazte haur hiregana ekar neçan, ceinec baitu cerbait hiri erran beharric.

¹⁹The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”

¹⁹Eta Capitainac hura escutic harturic, eta appart retiraturic galde eguin cieçón, Cer duc niri erran beharric?

²⁰He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.

²⁰Eta harc erran ceçan, Iuduéc ordenatu dié hiri othoitz eguitera, bihar Paul conseillura igorri deçán, hobequiago cerbaitez informatu nahi balirade beçala harçaz:

²¹Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”

²¹Baina hic eztieceala accorda: ecen hayén artecoric berroguey guiçon baino guehiago haren celata diaudec: vot eguinic maledictionezco penán, eztutela ianen ez edanen hura hil duqueiteno: eta orain prest diaudec, hic cer promettaturen drauèan beguira.

²²So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”

²²Capitainac bada igor ceçan guiçon gaztea, hari manaturic, nehori ezlerron nola gauça hauc hari dclaratu cerauzcan.

²³He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen, and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night about 9:00 PM .”

²³Eta deithuric bi Centenér erran ciecén, Eduquitzaçue prest ber-ehun gendarmés Cesarearano ioaiteco, eta hiruroguey eta hamar çamaldun, eta ber-ehun archer, gauaren heren oreneco.

²⁴He asked them to provide animals, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.

²⁴Eta den abre prestic, igan eraciric Paul salburic eraman deçatençát Felix gobernadore handiagana.

²⁵He wrote a letter like this:

²⁵Eta scriba cietzon letra batzu tenor hunetacoric,

²⁶“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

²⁶Claude Lysiasec Felix gobernadore gucizco excellentari, salutatione.

²⁷“This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

²⁷Guiçon haur Iuduéz hatzamana, eta ia heçaz hiltzeco cegoela, ethorriric garniçoinarequin edequi diraueat, eçaguturic ecen Romaco burgés cela.

²⁸Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.

²⁸Eta iaquin nahiz cer causagatic accusatzen lutén, eraman vkan diat hayén conseillura.

²⁹I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.

²⁹Cein eriden baitut accusatzen cela berén Legueco questionéz, eta herioric edo presoinic mereci luen hoguenic batre etzuela.

³⁰When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”

³⁰Eta aduertitu içanic guiçon huni Iuduéz eguiten çaizcan celatéz, bertan igorri vkan diát hiregana: manamendu eguinic accusaçaley-ere, hunen contretaco dituzten gauçác hire aitzinean erran ditzaten. Vngui aicela.

³¹So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

³¹Gendarmeséc bada hæy manatu içan çayen beçala, Paul harturic eraman ceçaten gauaz Antipatrisera.

³²But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.

³²Eta biharamunean vtziric çamaldunac harequin loacençát, itzul citecen fortaleçara.

³³When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

³³Eta hec Cesareara ethorriric eta Gobernadore handiari letrác emanic, Paul-ere haren aitzinera presenta ceçaten.

³⁴When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,

³⁴Eta iracurri cituenean Gobernadore handiac letrác, eta cer prouinciataco cen hura interrogatu çuenean, eta eçaguturic ecen Ciliciaco cela:

³⁵“I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.

³⁵Ençunen aut dio, hire accusaçaleac-ere ethorri diratenean. Eta mana ceçan Herodesen palatioan beguira ledin.
