¹But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

¹Eta Saul enflambaturic oraino mehatchuz eta hiltzecaz Iaunaren discipuluén contra, ethor cedin Sacrificadore subiranoagana.

²and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

²Eta letra esca cequión Damascera synagoguetara ioaiteco: baldin nehor erideiten balu secta hunetacoric, guiçonac eta emazteac estecaturic eraman litzançat Ierusalemera.

³As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.

³Eta ioaiten cela, guertha cedin hurbil baitzedin Damascera: eta subitoqui haren inguruän argui cedin chistmist baten ançora cerutic.

⁴He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

⁴Eta lurrera eroriric ençun ceçan vozbat ciotsala, Saul, Saul cergatic ni persecutatzen nauc?

⁵He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. TR adds “It’s hard for you to kick against the goads.”

⁵Eta erran ceçan, Nor aiz Iauna? Eta Iaunac erran ceçan, Ni nauc Iesus hic persecutatzen duana: gogor duc hiretaco akuloén contra ostico eguitea.

⁶ But TR omits “But” rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

⁶Eta harc ikaraturic eta icituric erran ceçan, Iauna, cer nahi duc daguidan? Orduan Iaunac hari, Iaiqui adi eta sar adi hirian, eta erranen çaic cer eguin behar duán.

⁷The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.

⁷Eta harequin ioaiten ciraden guiçonac, gueldi citecen icituric, haren voza bay ençuten, baina nehor ikusten etzutela.

⁸Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁸Eta iaiqui cedin Saul lurretic, eta bere beguiac irequiric nehor etzuen ikusten: eta escutic guidatzen çutela, eraman ceçaten Damascera.

⁹He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.

⁹Non egon baitzedin hirur egun ikusten etzuela: eta etzeçan ian ez edan.

¹⁰Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”

¹⁰Eta cen Damascen Ananias deitzen cen discipulubat, eta erran cieçon hari Iaunac visionez, Ananias. Eta dio harc, Huná ni, Iauna.

¹¹The Lord said to him, “Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah or, Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,

¹¹Orduan Iaunac hari erran cieçon, Iaiquiric oha Çucena deitzen den karricara, eta bilha eçac Iudaren etchean Saul deitzen den Tharsianobat: ecen hará, othoitzetan diagoc.

¹² and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”

¹²(Eta ikus ceçan visionez Ananias deitzen cen guiçon-bat sartzen cela eta haren gainean escua eçarten çuela, ikustea recebi leçançat)

¹³But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.

¹³Eta ihardets ceçan Ananiasec, Iauna, ençun diat anhitzetaric guiçon hunez, cembat gaitz eguin drauen hire sainduey Ierusalemen.

¹⁴Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”

¹⁴Etare hemen badic authoritate Sacrificadore principaletaric, hire icena inuocatzen duten gucién estecatzeco.

¹⁵But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.

¹⁵Eta erran cieçon Iaunac, Habil: ecen ene vnci electionezcobat duc hura ekar deçançát ene icena Gentilen, eta reguén, eta Israeleco haourrén aitzinera.

¹⁶ For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”

¹⁶Ecen nic eracutsiren diarocat cembat behar duen ene icenagatic suffritu.

¹⁷Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

¹⁷Ioan cedin bada Ananias eta sar cedin etche hartan: eta escuac haren gainean eçarriric, erran ceçan, Saul anayé, Iaunac igorri niauc (cein baita Iesus hiri ethorten aincen bidean aguertu çayana) ikustea recebi deçançat, eta Spiritu sainduaz bethe adinçat.

¹⁸Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.

¹⁸Eta bertan eror citecen haren beguietaric quasi ezcatác beçalacoac, eta ikustea recebi ceçan bertan : guero iaiquiric batheya cedin.

¹⁹He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.

¹⁹Eta ian çuenean indar har ceçan. Eta egon cedin Saul Damascen ciraden discipuluequin cembeit egun.

²⁰Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

²⁰Eta bertan synagoguetan predica ceçan Christ ecen hura cela Iaincoaren Semea.

²¹All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”

²¹Eta icitzen ciraden hura ençuten çutén guciac, eta erraiten çutén, Ezta haur deseguin dituena Ierusalemen icen haur inuocatzen çutenac, eta hartara huna ethorri baita, hec estecaturic eraman litzançat Sacrificadore principaletara?

²²But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

²²Baina Saul gueroago fortificatzenago cen, eta confunditzen cituen Damascen habitatzen ciraden Iuduac, confirmatuz ecen haur cela Christ.

²³When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,

²³Eta dembora luceren buruän eduqui ceçaten Iuduéc elkarren artean conseillu haren hiltzeco,

²⁴but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,

²⁴Baina Saulen eçagutzera ethor citecen hayen celatác: eta beguiratzen cituzten borthác egun eta gau, hura hil leçatençát.

²⁵but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.

²⁵Baina harturic hura discipuluec gauaz murraillatic erauts ceçaten cordaz sasquian eçarriric.

²⁶When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

²⁶Eta Saul ethorri cenean Ierusalemera, discipuluequin lagundu nahiz çabilan: baina guciac haren beldur ciraden, ez sinhetsiz hura discipulu cela.

²⁷But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

²⁷Baina Barnabasec harturic hura eraman ceçan Apostoluetara, eta conta ciecén nola bidean ikussi çuen Iauna, eta hari minçatu içan çayón, eta nola Damascen frangoqui minçatu içan cen Iesusen icenean.

²⁸He was with them entering into TR and NU add “and going out” Jerusalem,

²⁸Eta cen hequin ioaiten eta ethorten cela Ierusalemen.

²⁹preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. TR and NU omit “Jesus” and reverse the order of verses 28 & 29. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, The Hellenists were Hebrews who used Greek language and culture. but they were seeking to kill him.

²⁹Eta frangoqui Iesus Iaunaren icenean minçatzen eta disputatzen cen Grecoén contra: baina hec hura hil nahiz çabiltzan.

³⁰When the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.

³⁰Hori eçaguturic anayéc eraman ceçaten hura Cesareara, eta igor ceçaten Tarsera.

³¹So the assemblies throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

³¹Elicéc bada Iudea gucian eta Galilean eta Samarian baque çutén, eta edificatzen ciraden, Iaincoaren beldurréan ebiliz, eta Spiritu sainduaren consolationez multiplicatzen ciraden.

³²It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

³²Guertha cedin, Pierris gucietarat iragaiten cela, ethor baitzedin Lyddan habitatzen ciraden sainduetara-ere.

³³There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.

³³Eta eriden ceçan han Eneás deitzen cen guiçon-bat ia çortzi vrthez ohean cetzanic, cein baitzén paralytico:

³⁴Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.

³⁴Eta diotsa Pierrisec, Eneás, sendatzen au Iesus Christec: iaiqui adi, eta eure ohea accotra eçac eurorren. Eta bertan iaiqui cedin.

³⁵All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

³⁵Eta ikus ceçaten hura Lyddan eta Saronan habitatzen ciraden guciéc, eta conuerti citecen Iaunagana.

³⁶Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated, means Dorcas. “Dorcas” is Greek for “Gazelle.” This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.

³⁶Ioppen-ere bacén discipulussa Tabitha deitzen cembat, erran nahi baita Dorcas: haur cen bethea obra onez eta elemosyna eguiten cituenéz.

³⁷It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

³⁷Eta guertha cedin egun hetan erituric hil baitzedin: eta ikuci çutenean, eçar ceçaten gambera gora batetan.

³⁸As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men Reading from NU, TR; MT omits “two men” to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.

³⁸Eta ceren Lydda baitzen Iopperen aldean, discipuluec ençunic ecen Pierris han cela, igor citzaten bi guiçon harengana, othoizten çutela ez leçan beránt hetarano ethortera.

³⁹Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

³⁹Eta iaiquiric Pierris ethor cedin hequin: eta arribatu cenean, eraman ceçaten gambera gorara: eta presenta cequizquión emazte alhargun guciac nigarrez ceudela, eta eracusten cerautzatela Dorcasec hequin cenean eguiten cituen arropác, eta veztidurac.

⁴⁰Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴⁰Baina guciac campora idoquiric Pierrisec eta belhaurico iarriric othoitz eguin ceçan, eta itzuliric gorputzerát, erran ceçan, Tabitha iaiqui adi, eta harc irequi citzan bere beguiac, eta Pierris ikussiric iarri cedin.

⁴¹He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

⁴¹Orduan Pierrisec escua hari emanic. eraiqui ceçan: guero deithuric sainduac eta emazte alhargunac presenta ciecén hura viciric.

⁴²And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

⁴²Eta haur eçagut cedin Ioppe gucian eta sinhets ceçaten anhitzec Iauna baithan.

⁴³It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
