Acts 23
1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
Un Pāvils, acis uz to tiesu metis, sacīja: “Vīri, brāļi, es ar visai labu zināmu sirdi Dieva priekšā esmu dzīvojis līdz šai pašai dienai.”
2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Bet tas augstais priesteris Ananija pavēlēja tiem, kas pie viņa stāvēja, viņam par muti sist.
3 Then 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?”
Tad Pāvils uz to sacīja: “Dievs tevi sitīs, tu nobaltēta siena! Tu še sēdi, mani tiesāt pēc bauslības, un tu pavēli, mani sist pret bauslību!”
4 Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
Un tie, kas tur klāt stāvēja, sacīja: “Vai tu to augsto Dieva priesteri lamā?”
5 Paul 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.’”
Un Pāvils sacīja: “Es nezināju, brāļi, viņu esam augsto priesteri, jo ir rakstīts: pret savu ļaužu virsnieku tev nebūs ļaunu runāt.”
6 But 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!”
Bet Pāvils zinādams, ka citi bija no saducejiem, citi no farizejiem, sauca augstās tiesas priekšā: “Vīri, brāļi, es esmu farizeja dēls, es topu tiesāts par to cerību, ka miroņi augšām celsies.”
7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
Kad viņš to bija runājis, tad troksnis cēlās starp tiem farizejiem un saducejiem, un tas pulks šķīrās.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
Jo tie saduceji saka: augšāmcelšanās neesot, un neesot nedz eņģeļa, nedz gara; bet tie farizeji visu to apliecina.
9 A 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!”
Un tur liela brēkšana sākās, un tie rakstu mācītāji no tās farizeju puses cēlās un tiepās sacīdami: “Mēs pie šā cilvēka nekā ļauna neatrodam; un ja kāds gars ar viņu ir runājis, vai kāds eņģelis, tad lai nekarojam pret Dievu.”
10 When 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.
Bet kad tas troksnis vairojās, tad tam virsniekam rūpēja, ka Pāvils no tiem netaptu saplēsts, un viņš tiem karavīriem pavēlēja noiet, to no viņu vidus izraut un novest uz lēģeri.
11 The 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.”
Un nākošā naktī Tas Kungs viņam piestājās sacīdams: “Turi drošu prātu, Pāvil; jo itin tā, kā tu par Mani liecību esi devis Jeruzālemē, tāpat tev būs arī Romā liecināt.”
12 When 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.
Un kad gaisma bija aususi, tad tie Jūdi sapulcējās un sazvērējās kopā sacīdami: “Mēs negribam ne ēst ne dzert, tiekams Pāvilu būsim nokāvuši.”
13 There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
Un to bija vairāk nekā četrdesmit, kas tā bija sazvērējušies.
14 They 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.
Šie nāca pie tiem augstiem priesteriem un vecajiem un sacīja: “Mēs svēti esam nodievojušies, nekā nebaudīt, kamēr Pāvilu būsim nokāvuši.
15 Now 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.”
Tad nu dodiet ziņu tam virsniekam un tai augstai tiesai, lai to rītā pie jums atved, tā kā jūs viņa lietu gribētu labāki izklausināt; bet mēs esam gatavi to nokaut, pirms tas atnāk.”
16 But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
Bet Pāvila māsas dēls šo viltu dzirdējis, atnāca un iegāja lēģerī un Pāvilam to pasludināja.
17 Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
Un Pāvils vienu no tiem kapteiņiem pasauca un sacīja: “Noved šo jaunekli pie virsnieka, jo viņam ir priekš tā kāda ziņa.”
18 So 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. He has something to tell you.”
Tad nu šis to ņēma un noveda pie tā virsnieka un sacīja: “Tas saistītais Pāvils mani sauca un lūdza, šo jaunekli pie tevis atvest, jo viņam ar tevi kas jārunā.”
19 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
Un tas virsnieks to pie rokas ņēma un savrup aizgājis vaicāja: “Kas tev ir, ko man teikt?”
20 He 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.
Un tas sacīja: “Tie Jūdi saderējušies tevi lūgt, ka tu rītā Pāvilu liktu vest priekš augstās tiesas, tā kā tie gribētu viņu jo skaidri izklausināt.
21 Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”
Tad nu tu neļaujies no tiem pārrunāties; jo vairāk nekā četrdesmit vīri no tiem uz viņu glūn un paši nodievojušies, nekā ne ēst ne dzert, kamēr viņu būšot nokāvuši, un nu tie ir gatavi, gaidīdami no tevis to solīšanu.”
22 So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
Tad tas virsnieks to jaunekli atlaida pavēlēdams: “Nesaki to nevienam, ka tu to man esi zināmu darījis.”
23 He 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.”
Un tas, divus no tiem kapteiņiem ataicinājis, sacīja: “Sataisiet divsimt karavīrus, ka tie iet uz Cezareju, un septiņdesmit jātniekus un divsimt strēlniekus ap to trešo stundu naktī.”
24 He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
Viņš arī lika jājamus lopus parīkot, ka Pāvilu virsū sēdinātu un veselu novestu pie tā valdītāja Felika.
25 He wrote a letter like this:
Un viņš grāmatu rakstīja ar šiem vārdiem:
26 “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
“Klaudijs Lizijs tam viscienīgam valdītājam Felikam prieku!
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.
Šo vīru, kas no tiem Jūdiem sagrābts un no tiem tik nenokauts, es, ar tiem karavīriem pienācis, esmu izrāvis, dzirdēdams, ka viņš Romietis
28 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
Un gribēdams to vainu zināt, kādēļ tie viņu apsūdzēja, es viņu esmu vedis priekš viņu augstās tiesas.
29 I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
Un es viņu atradu apsūdzētu par viņu bauslības jautāšanām, bet viņš par neko netapa apsūdzēts, ar ko nāvi vai saites būtu pelnījis.
30 When 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.”
Un kad man tas padoms tapa zināms, kas tiem Jūdiem bija pret šo vīru, tad es tūdaļ viņu pie tevis esmu sūtījis un tiem sūdzētājiem pavēlējis, tavā priekšā izteikt, kas tiem ir pret viņu. Dzīvo vesels!”
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Tad nu tie karavīri, tā kā tiem bija pavēlēts, Pāvilu ņēma un pa nakti noveda uz Antipatridu.
32 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
Un otrā dienā tie viņu atstāja tiem jātniekiem, ar viņu tālāk iet, un paši griezās atpakaļ uz lēģeri.
33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
Viņi nu uz Cezareju nākuši un to grāmatu tam zemes valdītājam atdevuši, arī Pāvilu viņam nodeva.
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
Un tas zemes valdītājs to grāmatu lasījis vaicāja, no kuras zemes tiesas viņš esot? Un dzirdējis, ka viņš no Ķiliķijas,
35 “I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
Tas sacīja: “Es tevi izklausināšu, kad arī tavi sūdzētāji atnāks,” un pavēlēja, viņu Hērodus pilī apsargāt.
