Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
Agrippa sacīja uz Pāvilu: “Tev ir vēlēts priekš sevis paša runāt.” Tad Pāvils roku izstiepis aizbildinājās:
2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews,
“Es to sev turu par lielu laimi, ķēniņ Agrippa, ka man šodien ir vēlēts tavā priekšā aizbildināties par visu to, par ko es no tiem Jūdiem topu apsūdzēts,
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
Visvairāk, kad es zinu, tevi esam mācītu visās Jūdu ierašās un jautāšanās. Tāpēc es tevi lūdzu, lēnprātīgi mani klausīties.
4 “Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
Manu dzīvošanu no mazām dienām, kāda tā no iesākuma bijusi manas tautas starpā iekš Jeruzālemes, to nu visi Jūdi zina.
5 having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Tie mani sen jau pazina, (ja tie gribētu liecību dot), ka es esmu dzīvojis pēc mūsu Dieva kalpošanas viscietākiem likumiem, farizejs būdams.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Un nu es stāvu un topu tiesāts par to cerību uz to no Dieva mūsu tēviem doto apsolīšanu.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
Pie tās cer nākt mūsu divpadsmit ciltis, bez mitēšanās naktīm un dienām Dievam kalpodamas. Par šo cerību, ķēniņ Agrippa, es no tiem Jūdiem topu apsūdzēts.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
Kā? Vai tā jums šķiet neticama lieta, ka Dievs miroņus uzmodina?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Man pašam gan šķita, ka man vajagot Jēzus, tā Nacarieša, vārdam daudz pretī darīt.
10 I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
To es arī esmu darījis Jeruzālemē, un es daudz svētus esmu ieslēdzis cietumā, to varu no tiem augstiem priesteriem dabūjis; un kad viņi tapa nokauti, tad man tas bija pa prātam.
11 Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
Un pa visām baznīcām es tos daudzkārt esmu mocījis un tos spiedis zaimot, un pārlieku pret tiem trakodams es tos esmu vajājis arī līdz svešām pilsētām.
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
Kad es tādēļ arī uz Damasku gāju ar spēku un varu no tiem augstiem priesteriem,
13 at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
Tad, ak ķēniņ, es dienas vidū uz ceļa gaišumu no debesīm, skaidrāku nekā sauli, redzēju, kas mani un manus ceļa biedrus apspīdēja.
14 When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
Un kad mēs visi pie zemes pakritām, tad es dzirdēju balsi uz mani runājam un Ebreju valodā sakām: “Saul, Saul, ko tu Mani vajā? Tev grūti nāksies pret dzenuli spārdīt!”
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Bet es sacīju: “Kas Tu esi, Kungs?” Bet Tas sacīja: “Es esmu Jēzus, ko tu vajā.
16 But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you;
Bet celies un stāvi uz savām kājām. Jo tāpēc Es tev esmu parādījies, ka Es tevi ieceltu par kalpu un liecinieku tanīs lietās, ko tu esi redzējis un kādās Es tev parādīšos,
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Tevi izraudams no šiem ļaudīm un no tiem pagāniem, pie kuriem Es tevi tagad sūtu,
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
Viņu acis atdarīt, ka tie atgriežas no tumsības pie gaismas un no velna varas pie Dieva, ka tie dabū grēku piedošanu un daļu starp tiem svētītiem caur ticību uz Mani.”
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Tāpēc, ak ķēniņ Agrippa, es šai parādīšanai no debesīm neesmu bijis nepaklausīgs;
20 but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
Bet es papriekš tiem, kas Damaskū un Jeruzālemē un visā Jūdu zemē, un tiem pagāniem esmu pasludinājis, lai no grēkiem atstājās un pie Dieva atgriežas un dara atjaunota prāta pienākamus darbus.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Tādēļ tie Jūdi, Dieva namā mani sagrābuši, apņēmās mani nokaut.
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen,
Bet palīgu no Dieva dabūjis es stāvu līdz šai dienai, un apliecināju tik pat mazam kā lielam, cita nekā nesacīdams kā vien, ko pravieši un Mozus runājuši, kas notiks;
23 how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”
Ka Kristum bija jācieš, un ka Viņš, tas pirmais, kas no miroņiem augšāmcēlies, gaismu pasludinās Saviem ļaudīm un tiem pagāniem.”
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
Un kad viņš tā aizbildinājās, tad Festus sacīja ar skaņu balsi: “Pāvil, tu esi traks, tā lielā rakstu zināšana tevi padara traku.”
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
Bet tas sacīja: “Es neesmu vis traks, viscienīgais Festu, bet es runāju patiesīgus un prātīgus vārdus.
26 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
Jo par šīm lietām ķēniņš zina, uz ko es arī droši runāju. Jo es neticu, ka kāda no šīm lietām viņam ir paslēpta; jo tas nav kaktā noticis.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
Vai tu, ķēniņ Agrippa, tiem praviešiem tici? Es zinu, ka tu tici!”
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
Bet Agrippa sacīja uz Pāvilu: “Daudz netrūkst, tu mani pārrunā, ka es palieku par Kristus mācekli.”
29 Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.”
Bet Pāvils sacīja: “Es no Dieva vēlētos, lai trūkst maz vai daudz, ka ne vien tu, bet arī visi, kas mani šodien dzird, tādi top, kāds es esmu, bez šīm saitēm vien.”
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Un kad viņš to runāja, tad ķēniņš cēlās un zemes valdītājs un Berniķe un kas pie tiem sēdēja.
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
Un aizgājuši tie runāja savā starpā sacīdami: “Šis cilvēks neko nedara, ar ko viņš nāvi vai saites pelna.”
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Un Agrippa sacīja uz Festu: “Šo cilvēku varētu palaist, kad tas ķeizaru nebūtu piesaucis.”
