Apustuļu Darbi 10
1 Un viens vīrs bija Cezarejā, Karniels vārdā, viens kapteinis, no tā saucamā Itālijas karoga,
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in the regiment known as the “Italian Regiment,”
2 Dieva cienītājs un dievbijīgs ar visu savu namu, kas tos ļaudis daudz apdāvināja un allažiņ Dievu lūdza.
A religious man and one who reverenced God, with all his household. He was liberal in his charities to the people, and prayed to God constantly.
3 Šis ap devīto dienas stundu parādīšanā skaidri redzēja Dieva eņģeli ienākam pie viņa un uz viņu sakām: “Karniel!”
One afternoon, about three o’clock, he distinctly saw in a vision an angel from God come to him, and call him by name.
4 Un to redzēdams viņš pārbijās un sacīja: “Kas ir, Kungs?” Bet tas uz viņu sacīja: “Tavas lūgšanas ir uzkāpušas un pieminētas Dieva priekšā.
Cornelius fixed his eyes on him and, in great alarm, said, ‘What is it, Lord?’ ‘Your prayers and your charities,’ the angel answered, ‘have been an acceptable offering to God.
5 Un tagad nosūti vīrus uz Joppi un ataicini Sīmani, ar pavārdu Pēteri.
And now, send messengers to Joppa and fetch a man called Simon, who is also known as Peter.
6 Šis piemājo pie kāda ādmiņa Sīmaņa, kam nams ir jūrmalā; šis tev sacīs, ko tev būs darīt.”
He is lodging with a tanner named Simon, who has a house near the sea.’
7 Un kad tas eņģelis, kas ar Karnieli runāja, bija aizgājis, tad šis aicināja divus no saviem nama kalpiem un vienu dievbijīgu karavīru no tiem, kas pastāvīgi pie viņa bija.
When the angel, who had spoken to him, had gone, Cornelius called two servants and a religious soldier, who was one of his constant attendants,
8 Un visas lietas stāstījis viņš tos sūtīja uz Joppi.
and, after telling them the whole story, sent them to Joppa.
9 Un otrā dienā, kad tie uz ceļa bija un tai pilsētai tuvu klāt nāca, Pēteris uzkāpa uz jumtu, Dievu lūgt, ap sesto stundu.
On the next day, while these men were on their way, just as they were nearing the town, Peter went up on the housetop about midday to pray.
10 Un viņš izsalcis būdams gribēja ko baudīt, un kamēr tie ēdienu sataisīja, viņš garā tapa aizgrābts.
He became hungry and wanted something to eat; but while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance,
11 Un viņš redz debesi atvērtu un kādu trauku nonākam, tā kā lielu palagu pie četriem stūriem nolaistu zemē.
and saw that the heavens were open, and that something like a great sail was descending, let down by its four corners towards the earth.
12 Tanī bija visādi četrkājīgi lopi un zvēri un tārpi no zemes virsas un putni, kas apakš debess.
In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and birds.
13 Un balss notika uz to: “Celies, Pēteri, kauj un ēd.”
Then he was aware of a voice which said – ‘Stand up, Peter, kill something, and eat.’
14 Bet Pēteris sacīja: “Ne mūžam, Kungs! Jo es nekad neesmu ko ēdis, kas ir aizliegts, vai nešķīsts.”
‘No, Lord, I cannot,’ answered Peter, ‘for I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.’
15 Un atkal otru reiz balss uz viņu notika: “Ko Dievs ir šķīstījis, to tev nebūs turēt par aizliegtu.”
Again he was aware of a voice which said – ‘What God has pronounced clean, do not regard as defiled.’
16 Un tas notika trīs reizes un tas trauks atkal tapa uzcelts debesīs.
This happened three times, and then suddenly it was all taken up into the heavens.
17 Un kad Pēteris savā prātā nezināja, ko šī parādīšana apzīmējot, ko viņš bija redzējis, redzi, tad tie no Karnieļa sūtītie vīri, Sīmaņa namu izvaicājuši, stāvēja pie vārtiem.
While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon’s house, came up to the gate,
18 Un tie sauca un vaicāja, vai Sīmanis, ar pavārdu Pēteris, tur mājojot?
and called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.
19 Un kad Pēteris to parādīšanu pārdomāja, tad Tas Gars uz to sacīja: “Redzi, trīs vīri tevi meklē;
Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, ‘There are two men looking for you at this moment.
20 Bet celies, nokāp un ej tiem līdz nešaubīdamies, jo Es tos esmu sūtījis.”
Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.’
21 Un Pēteris nokāpa pie tiem vīriem, kas no Karnieļa pie tā bija sūtīti, un sacīja: “Redzi, es esmu tas, ko jūs meklējiet, kādas lietas dēļ jūs še esat?”
Peter went down to the men and said, ‘I am the person you are looking for. What is your reason for coming?’
22 Un tie sacīja: “Karniels, viens kapteinis, taisns un dievbijīgs vīrs, kam pie visas Jūdu cilts laba slava, tas no viena svēta eņģeļa ir pamācīts, tevi uz savu namu aicināt un vārdus dzirdēt no tevis.”
The men replied, ‘Our centurion, Cornelius, a pious man who reverences God and is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, has been instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to listen to what you have to say.’
23 Tad nu viņš tos aicināja iekšā un uzņēma savā namā. Un otrā dienā viņš cēlās un gāja tiem līdz, un kādi brāļi, kas bija no Joppes, viņu pavadīja.
So Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he lost no time in setting out with them, accompanied by some of the Lord’s followers from Joppa;
24 Un otrā dienā tie nonāca Cezarejā, un Karniels, savus radiniekus un labākos draugus saaicinājis, viņus gaidīja.
and the day following he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them, and had invited his relatives and intimate friends to meet them.
25 Un notikās, Pēterim ieejot, ka Karniels tam gāja pretī un paklanījās, mezdamies pie viņa kājām.
So, when Peter entered the city, Cornelius met him, and, throwing himself at Peter’s feet, bowed to the ground.
26 Bet Pēteris to pacēla un sacīja: “Celies, arī es esmu cilvēks.”
Peter, however, lifted him up, saying as he did so, ‘Stand up, I am only human like yourself.’
27 Un ar to sarunādamies viņš gāja iekšā un atrada daudz kopā sanākušus,
Talking with him as he went, Peter entered the house, where he found a large gathering of people, to whom he said,
28 Un uz tiem sacīja: “Jūs zināt, ka Jūdu vīram nepieklājās piebiedroties jeb nākt pie svešas tautas cilvēka; bet man Dievs ir rādījis, ka nevienu cilvēku nebūs saukt par negantu jeb nešķīstu.
‘You are doubtless aware that it is forbidden for a Jew to be intimate with a foreigner, or even to enter his house; and yet God has shown me that I ought not to call anyone defiled or unclean.
29 Tāpēc es ataicināts arī esmu nācis bez pretī runāšanas; tad nu vaicāju: kādēļ jūs mani esat aicinājuši?”
That was why I came, when I was sent for, without raising any objection. And now I ask your reason for sending for me.’
30 Un Karniels sacīja: “Priekš četrām dienām līdz šai stundai es biju gavējis, un devītā stundā man savā namā Dievu lūdzot, redzi, viens vīrs ar spožām drēbēm stāvēja manā priekšā
‘Just three days ago this very hour,’ Cornelius said, ‘I was in my house, saying the Afternoon Prayers, when a man in dazzling clothing suddenly stood before me.
31 Un sacīja: Karniel, tavas lūgšanas ir paklausītas un tavas nabagu dāvanas ir pieminētas Dieva priekšā.
“Cornelius,” he said, “your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been accepted, by God.
32 Tāpēc sūti uz Joppi un ataicini Sīmani, ar pavārdu Pēteri; šis mājo Sīmaņa, tā ādmiņa, namā pie jūras; šis nāks un ar tevi runās.
Therefore send to Joppa, and invite the Simon, who is also known as Peter, to come here. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea.”
33 Tāpēc es tūdaļ pie tevis esmu sūtījis, un tu esi labi darījis, ka esi nācis. Tad nu tagad mēs visi stāvam Dieva priekšā, visu to dzirdēt, kas tev no Dieva pavēlēts.”
Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.’
34 Bet Pēteris savu muti atdarījis sacīja: “Nu es tiešām atzīstu, ka Dievs cilvēka vaigu neuzlūko;
Then Peter began. ‘I see, beyond all doubt,’ he said, ‘that God does not show partiality,
35 Bet no visām tautām, kas Viņu bīstas un taisnību dara, tas Viņam pieņēmīgs.
but that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
36 Tas ir tas vārds, ko Viņš Israēla bērniem ir sūtījis, pasludinādams prieku un mieru caur Jēzu Kristu: Šis ir Kungs pār visiem.
God has sent his message to the Israelites and told them, through Jesus Christ, the good news of peace – and Jesus is Lord of all!
37 Jūs zināt, kas noticis pa visu Jūdu zemi, iesākot no Galilejas, pēc tās kristības, ko Jānis pasludinājis;
You yourselves know the story which spread through all Judea, how, beginning form Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed –
38 Kā Dievs ar Svētu Garu un spēku ir svaidījis to Jēzu no Nacaretes, kas ir apkārt gājis, labu darīdams un dziedinādams visus no velna uzvarētos; jo Dievs bija ar Viņu.
the story, I mean, of Jesus of Nazareth, and how God consecrated him his Christ by enduing him with the Holy Spirit and with power; and how he went about doing good and curing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
39 Un mēs esam liecinieki par visu, ko Viņš darījis Jūdu zemē un arī Jeruzālemē; Šo tie nokāvuši piekārdami pie koka.
We are ourselves, too, witnesses to all that he did in Judea and in Jerusalem; yet they put him to death by hanging him on a cross!
40 Šo Dievs ir uzmodinājis trešā dienā un Viņam licis parādīties
This Jesus God raised on the third day, and enabled him to appear,
41 Ne visiem ļaudīm, bet tiem papriekš no Dieva ieceltiem lieciniekiem, mums, kas ar Viņu esam ēduši un dzēruši pēc Viņa augšām celšanās no miroņiem.
not indeed to everyone, but to witnesses chosen beforehand by God – to us, who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.
42 Un Viņš mums ir pavēlējis, tiem ļaudīm pasludināt un apliecināt, Viņu esam to no Dieva iestādīto soģi pār dzīviem un mirušiem.
Further, God charged us to proclaim to the people, and solemnly affirm, that it is Jesus who has been appointed by God judge of the living and the dead.
43 Šim visi pravieši dod liecību, ka caur Viņa vārdu ikviens, kas tic uz Viņu, dabū grēku piedošanu.”
To him it is that all the prophets bear witness, when they say that everyone who believes in him receives through his name forgiveness of sins.’
44 Un Pēterim šos vārdus vēl runājot, Svētais Gars krita uz visiem, kas to vārdu dzirdēja.
Before Peter had finished saying these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the message.
45 Un tie ticīgie no tās apgraizīšanas, cik Pēterim bija līdz nākuši, iztrūkās, ka arī uz pagāniem Svētā Gara dāvana bija izlieta;
Those converts from Judaism, who had come with Peter, were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been bestowed even on the Gentiles;
46 Jo tie tos dzirdēja valodām runājam un Dievu teicam. Tad Pēteris atbildēja:
for they heard them speaking in different languages and extolling God. At this Peter asked,
47 “Vai arī kas laban ūdeni var liegt, ka šie netaptu kristīti, kas To Svēto Garu ir dabūjuši itin kā mēs?”
‘Can anyone refuse the water for the baptism of these people, now that they have received the Holy Spirit as we did ourselves?’
48 Un viņš pavēlēja, tos kristīt iekš Tā Kunga vārda. Tad tie viņu lūdza, lai viņš kādas dienas pie tiem paliktu.
And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ; after which they asked him to stay there a few days longer.
