¹After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.

¹Eta borz egunen buruän iauts cedin Ananias Sacrificadore subiranoa Ancianoequin, eta Tertulle deitzen cen orator batequin: hec compari citecen Gobernadore handiaren aitzinean Paulen contra.

²When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that excellent measures are coming to this nation,

²Eta Paul deithu içanic, Tertulle has cedin accusatzen, cioela,

³we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

³Felix gucizco excellenteá eçagutzen diagu esquer gucirequin gauça gucietan eta leku gucietan, ecen guc ardietsi dugula baque handia hiçaz, eta eure prouidentiaz populu hunetan eguin dituan ordenança onéz.

⁴But, that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.

⁴Baina luçaquiago eduqui ezeçadan, othoitz eguiten drauat ençun gaitzán gutibat eure ontassunagatic.

⁵For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

⁵Ecen eriden diagu guiçon pestilentioso haur seditione altchatzen drauela Iudu guciey mundu orotan, eta Nazarenoén sectaren buru dela:

⁶He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. TR adds “We wanted to judge him according to our law,”

⁶Cein templearen profanatzen-ere enseyatu içan baita, eta hatzamanic nahi vkan diagu gure Leguearen arauez iugeatu.

⁷ TR adds “but the commanding officer, Lysias, came by and with great violence took him out of our hands,”

⁷Baina ethorriric Lysias capitainac bortcha handirequin edequi vkan diraucuc gure escuetaric.

⁸ TR adds “commanding his accusers to come to you.” By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”

⁸Haren accusaçaleac hiregana ethor litecen manaturic: beraganic eurorrec informatione eguinic iaquin ahal ditzaquec gauça guciac, ceineçaz guc hori accusatzen baitugu.

⁹The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.

⁹Eta consenti ceçaten Iuduec-ere, erraiten çutela, gauça hauc hala liradela.

¹⁰When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,

¹⁰Baina ihardets ceçan Paulec, Gobernadore handiac minça ledin hari keinu eguinic, Ceren baitaquit anhitz vrthe duela natione hunen iuge aicela, gogoticago neure buruäz ihardestén diát:

¹¹seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.

¹¹Ikussiric ecen hic eçagut ahal decaqueala nola hamabi egun baino guehiago eztiraden, igan mincenetic Ierusalemera, adoratzera.

¹²In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.

¹²Eta eznié templean eriden nehorequin disputatzen ari naicela, edo gende biltzen, ez synagoguetan, ez hirian:

¹³Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.

¹³Eta ecin phoroga citzaqueé ni orain accusatzen nauten gauçác.

¹⁴But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

¹⁴Baina haur aithortzen drauät, ecen secta deitzen duten bide haren arauez, hunela dudala neure aitén Iaincoa cerbitzatzen, sinhesten ditudalaric Leguean eta Prophetetan scribatuac diraden gauça guciac.

¹⁵having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

¹⁵Eta sperança dudalaric Iaincoa baithan, içanen dela hilén resurrectionea, hambat iustoena nola iniustoena, ceinen beguira berac-ere baitaude.

¹⁶Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

¹⁶Halacotz pena-ere eçarten diát, conscientiá dudan Iaincoagana eta guiçonetara trebucu gabe bethiere.

¹⁷Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

¹⁷Eta anhitz vrtheren buruän, ethorri içan nauc neure nationera elemosyna eta oblatione eguitera.

¹⁸amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.

¹⁸Ordu hartan eriden nié purificatua templean, ez ordea gendetzerequin, ezeta tumulturequin, Asiaco Iudu batzuc.

¹⁹They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.

¹⁹Ceinéc behar baitzutén hire aitzinean comparitu, eta ni accusatu, baldin deus ene contra baçutén.

²⁰Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,

²⁰Edo hauc beróc erran beçate baldin cerbait gaichtaqueria eriden baduté nitan, ni conseilluan presentatu içan naicenean.

²¹unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”

²¹Hayén artean nengoela oihu eguin nueneco voz bakoitz haur baicen, Hilén resurrectioneaz ni accusatzan naiz egun çueçaz.

²²But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”

²²Gauça hauc ençunic, Felixec igor citzan hec berce aldi batetarano, cioela, Secta horrez cer den diligentquiago eçagutu duquedanean, Lysias capitaina iautsi datenean, ossoqui eçaguturen duquet çuen eguitecoa.

²³He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.

²³Eta mana ceçan Centenerbat, beguira ledin Paul eta largoan eçar ledin, eta nehor ez leçan empatcha haren eçagunetaric haren cerbitzatzetic edo harengana ioaitetic.

²⁴But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁴Eta cembaitrabeit egunean buruän, Felixec ethorriric Drusilla bere emaztearequin, cein baitzén Iudaca, erekar ceçan Paul, eta ençun ceçan hura minçatzen Christ baithango fedeaz.

²⁵As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”

²⁵Eta nola hura disputatzen baitzén iustitiáz, eta temperantiáz, eta içateco den iudicioaz, spantaturic Felixec ihardets ceçan, Oraingotz habil, eta aicinaric dudanean deithuren aut.

²⁶Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.

²⁶Berahala escun gainean sperança çuelaric ecen Paulec cerbait diru emanen ceraucala, larga leçançat halacotz-ere maiz erekarten çuen eta minçatzen cen harequin.

²⁷But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

²⁷Eta bi vrtheac complitu ciradenean, har ceçan successor Felixec Porcius Festus: eta placer eguin nahiz Iuduey Felixec vtzi ceçan Paul presonér.
