Apustuļu Darbi 13
1 Un pie tās draudzes, kas bija Antioķijā, bija pravieši un mācītāji: Barnaba un Sīmeans, kas dēvēts Nigers, un Lucijus no Kirenes un Mannaēns, kas ar Hērodu, to lielkungu, bija uzaudzināts, un Sauls.
Among the members of the church at Antioch there were several prophets and teachers – Barnabas, Simeon who was known by the name of “Black”, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, foster-brother of Prince Herod, and Saul.
2 Un kad tie Tam Kungam kalpoja un gavēja, tad Svētais Gars sacīja: “Nošķiriet man Barnabu un Saulu uz to darbu, pie kā Es tos esmu aicinājis.”
While they were engaged in the worship of the Lord and were fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.’
3 Tad tie gavēja un Dievu lūdza un tiem rokas uzlikuši tos atlaida.
Accordingly, after fasting and prayer, they placed their hands on them and dismissed them.
4 Tad nu šie no Svētā Gara izsūtītie nogāja uz Seleukiju, un no tejienes pārcēlās uz Kipru.
Barnabas and Saul, sent on this mission, as they were, by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there sailed to Cyprus.
5 Un nākuši Salaminā tie pasludināja Dieva vārdu Jūdu baznīcās, un tiem arī Jānis bija klāt par palīgu.
On reaching Salamis, they began to tell the message of God in the Jewish synagogues; and they had John with them as an assistant.
6 Un to salu pārstaigājuši līdz Pafai, tie atrada kādu burvi, viltīgu pravieti, Jūdu cilvēku, kam vārds bija Barjesus.
After passing through the whole island, they reached Paphos, where they found an astrologer who pretended to be a prophet – a Jew by birth, whose name was Barjoshua.
7 Tas bija pie tā zemes soģa Sergijus Paula, kas bija gudrs vīrs. Šis, Barnabu un Saulu ataicinājis, ļoti vēlējās Dieva vārdu dzirdēt.
He was at the court of the Governor, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who sent for Barnabas and Saul and asked to be told God’s message.
8 Bet tiem Elimas, tas burvis, (jo tā viņa vārds top tulkots), stāvēja pretī, meklēdams zemes soģi novērst no ticības.
But Elymas, the astrologer (for that is the meaning of the word), opposed them, eager to divert the Governor’s attention from the faith.
9 Bet Sauls, (arī Pāvils saukts), Svēta Gara pilns viņu uzskatīja
However, Saul (who is the same as Paul), full of the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him and said,
10 Un sacīja: “Ak tu velna bērns, visas viltības un visas blēdības pilns, tu visas taisnības ienaidnieks, vai tu nestāsies pārvērst Tā Kunga taisnos ceļus?
‘You incarnation of deceit and all fraud! You son of the devil! You opponent of all that is good! Will you never cease to divert the straight paths of the Lord? Listen!
11 Un nu redzi, Tā Kunga roka ir pret tevi, un tu būsi akls un uz kādu laiku sauli neredzēsi.” Un tūdaļ krēsla un tumsa krita uz viņu, un viņš gāja apkārt, meklēdams vadoņus.
The hand of the Lord is on you even now, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the sun.’ Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him, and he went feeling about for someone to guide him.
12 Tad tas zemes soģis redzēdams, kas bija noticis, ticēja, izbrīnīdamies par Tā Kunga mācību.
When the Governor saw what had happened, he became a believer in Christ, being greatly impressed by the teaching about the Lord.
13 Un Pāvils līdz ar tiem biedriem, no Pafas cēlušies, nāca uz Pergu Pamfilijā; bet Jānis no tiem šķīrās un griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi.
After this, Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Un tie pārstaigādami, no Pergas nāca uz Antioķiju Pisidijā un vienā svētdienā iegājuši baznīcā apsēdās.
The others went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and took their seats.
15 Un pēc bauslības un praviešu lasīšanas tie baznīcas virsnieki sūtīja pie tiem sacīdami: “Vīri, brāļi, ja jums kādi pamācīšanas vārdi uz tiem ļaudīm, tad runājiet.”
After the reading of the Law and the prophets, the synagogue leader sent them this message – ‘Friends, if you have any helpful words to address to the people, now is the time to speak.’
16 Un Pāvils cēlies un ar roku metis sacīja: “Jūs Israēla vīri un jūs dievbijīgie, klausāties:
So Paul rose and, motioning with his hand, said: ‘People of Israel and all here who worship God, hear what I have to say.
17 Šīs Israēla tautas Dievs mūsu tēvus ir izredzējis un to tautu augsti cēlis, kad tie piemita Ēģiptes zemē, un no turienes ar paceltu roku Viņš tos ir izvedis;
The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, and during their stay in Egypt increased the prosperity of the people, and then with uplifted arm brought them out from that land.
18 Un tuksnesī Viņš tos uzturējis pie četrdesmit gadiem,
For about forty years he bore with them in the desert;
19 Un izdeldējis septiņas tautas Kanaāna zemē un tiem izdalījis viņu zemi par mantību.
then, after destroying seven heathen nations in Canaan, he allotted their land to this people –
20 Un pēc tam pie četrsimt un piecdesmit gadiem Viņš tiem deva soģus līdz pravietim Samuēlim.
For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the prophet Samuel was the last.
21 Un tad tie lūdzās ķēniņu; un Dievs tiem deva Saulu, Ķisa dēlu, vīru no Benjamina cilts, četrdesmit gadus.
And, when they demanded a king, God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned for forty years.
22 Un to atmetis, Viņš tiem iecēla Dāvidu par ķēniņu; tam Viņš arī deva liecību sacīdams: “Es esmu atradis Dāvidu, Isajus dēlu, vīru pēc Manas sirds, kas darīs visu Manu prātu.”
After removing him, he raised David to the throne, and bore this testimony to him – “In David, the son of Jesse, I have found a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my purposes.”
23 No šā dzimuma Dievs Israēlim pēc tās apsolīšanas ir iecēlis To Pestītāju Jēzu.
It was from this man’s descendants that God, in accordance with his promise, gave Israel a Saviour – Jesus;
24 Priekš Viņa atnākšanas Jānis visiem Israēla ļaudīm bija pasludinājis to kristību uz atgriešanos no grēkiem.
John having first proclaimed, before the appearance of Jesus, a baptism on repentance for all the people of Israel.
25 Un Jānis savu ceļu pabeidzis sacīja: “Ko jūs domājat, kas es esmu? Es tas neesmu; bet redzi, Viens nāk pēc manis, kam es neesmu cienīgs kurpju siksnas atraisīt.”
As John was drawing towards the end of his career, he said “What do you suppose that I am? I am not the Christ. But there is ‘one coming’ after me, whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
26 Vīri, brāļi, jūs bērni no Ābrahāma dzimuma, un cik jūsu starpā ir dievbijīgi, jums šis pestīšanas vārds ir sūtīts.
Brothers and sisters, descendants of Abraham, and all those among you who worship God, it was to us that the message of this salvation was sent.
27 Jo tie, kas Jeruzālemē dzīvo, un viņu virsnieki Šo neatzīdami nedz tos praviešu vārdus, kas ik svētdienas top lasīti, tos ir piepildījuši, Viņu tiesādami.
The people of Jerusalem and their leaders, failing to recognise Jesus, and not understanding the utterances of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
28 Un nekādu nāves vainu neatrazdami, tie Pilatu ir lūguši, Viņu nokaut.
They found no ground at all for putting him to death, and yet demanded his execution from Pilate;
29 Un kad tie visu bija padarījuši, kas rakstīts par Viņu, tad Viņu ir noņēmuši no koka un ielikuši kapā.
and, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.
30 Bet Dievs Viņu ir uzmodinājis no miroņiem.
But God raised him from the dead;
31 Un daudz dienas Viņš ir parādījies tiem, kas līdz ar Viņu bija nākuši uz Jeruzālemi un kas tagad ir Viņa liecinieki pie tiem ļaudīm.
and he appeared for many days to those who had gone up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and who are now witnesses for him to the people.
32 Un mēs arīdzan jums pasludinājām to evaņģēliju par to apsolīšanu, kas tiem tēviem notikusi, ka Dievs mums, viņu bērniem, to ir piepildījis, Jēzu uzmodinādams,
We also have good news to tell you, about the promise made to our ancestors –
33 Kā arī otrā Dāvida dziesmā ir rakstīts: “Tu esi Mans Dēls, šodien Es Tevi esmu dzemdinājis.”
That our children have had this promise completely fulfilled to them by God, by his raising Jesus. That is just what is said in the second Psalm – “You are my Son; this day I have become your Father.”
34 Bet ka Viņš To no miroņiem ir uzmodinājis, ka Tam vairs nebija satrūdēt, Viņš tā ir sacījis: “Es jums došu to Dāvidam solīto pastāvīgo žēlastību.”
As to his raising Jesus from the dead, never again to return to corruption, this is what is said – “I will give to you the sacred promises made to David;”
35 Tāpēc viņš arī citā vietā saka: “Tu Savam Svētam nedosi redzēt satrūdēšanu.”
And, therefore, in another Psalm it is said – “You will not give up the Holy One to undergo corruption.”
36 Jo Dāvids, savā laikā Dieva prātam kalpojis, ir aizmidzis un pie saviem tēviem noguldīts un satrūdēšanu redzējis.
David, after obediently doing God’s will in his own time, fell asleep and was laid by the side of his ancestors, and did undergo corruption;
37 Bet Tas, ko Dievs ir uzmodinājis, Tas satrūdēšanu nav redzējis.
but Jesus, whom God raised from the dead, did not undergo corruption.
38 Tad nu lai jums ir zināms, vīri, brāļi, ka caur Viņu jums grēku piedošana top pasludināta;
I would, therefore, like you to know, friends, that through Jesus forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,
39 Un no visa tā, no kā jūs caur Mozus bauslību nevarējāt taisnoti tapt, ikviens, kas tic, caur Šo top taisnots.
and that, in union with him, everyone who believes in him is absolved from every sin from which under the Law of Moses you could not be absolved.
40 Tāpēc pielūkojiet, ka pār jums nenāk, kas ir sacīts iekš tiem praviešiem:
Beware, therefore, that what is said in the prophets does not come true of you –
41 “Raugāt, jūs pulgotāji, un brīnāties un iznīkstiet, jo Es kādu darbu padaru jūsu dienās, tādu darbu, ko jūs neticēsiet, ja kāds jums to stāsta.””
“Look, you despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I am doing a deed in your days – a deed which, though told you in full, you will never believe”.’
42 Un kad tie Jūdi bija izgājuši no baznīcas, tad tie pagāni lūdza, nākošā svētdienā viņiem šos vārdus runāt.
As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people begged for a repetition of this teaching on the next Sabbath.
43 Un kad tā draudze tapa atlaista, tad daudz Jūdi un dievbijīgi Jūdu ticības biedri Pāvilam un Barnabam gāja pakaļ; šie tos pamācīja un paskubināja palikt Dieva žēlastībā.
After the congregation had dispersed, many of the Jews, and of the converts who joined in their worship, followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue to rely on the loving kindness of God.
44 Un nākošā svētdienā tik ne visa tā pilsēta sapulcējās, Dieva vārdu dzirdēt.
On the following Sabbath, almost all the city gathered to hear God’s message.
45 Bet tie Jūdi, to ļaužu pulku redzēdami, tapa naida pilni un runāja tam pretī, ko Pāvils sacīja; pretī runādami un zaimodami.
But the sight of the crowds of people filled the minds of the Jews with jealousy, and they kept contradicting Paul’s statements in violent language.
46 Bet Pāvils un Barnaba ar drošību sacīja: tas Dieva vārds papriekš uz jums bija jārunā, bet kad jūs to atmetat un sev pašus necienīgus turat mantot mūžīgu dzīvošanu, redzi, tad mēs griežamies pie tiem pagāniem. (aiōnios g166)
Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out fearlessly, and said: ‘It was necessary that the message of God should be told to you first; but, since you reject it and reckon yourselves not worthy of the eternal life – we turn to the Gentiles! (aiōnios g166)
47 Jo tā Tas Kungs mums ir pavēlējis: “Es tevi esmu iecēlis pagāniem par gaišumu, ka tu būtu tā pestīšana līdz pasaules galam.””
For this is the Lord’s command to us – “I have destined you for a light to the Gentiles, a means of salvation to the ends of the earth”.’
48 Kad nu tie pagāni to dzirdēja, tad tie priecājās un slavēja Tā Kunga vārdu, un ticēja, cik uz mūžīgu dzīvošanu bija izredzēti. (aiōnios g166)
On hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and extolled God’s message; and all those who had been enrolled for eternal life became believers in Christ; (aiōnios g166)
49 Un Tā Kunga vārds izpaudās pa visu to tiesu.
and the Lord’s message was carried throughout that district.
50 Bet tie Jūdi skubināja dievbijīgas sievas no augstas kārtas un tās pilsētas virsniekus un cēla vajāšanu pret Pāvilu un Barnabu un tos izdzina no savām robežām.
But the Jews incited the women of high social standing who worshiped with them, and the leading men of the town, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their region.
51 Bet tie tos pīšļus nokratīja no savām kājām pret tiem un nāca uz Ikoniju.
They, however, shook the dust off their feet in protest,
52 Un tie mācekļi tapa piepildīti ar prieku un ar Svēto Garu.
and went to Iconium, leaving the disciples full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.
