Apustuļu Darbi 16
1 Un viņš nāca uz Derbi un Listru. Un redzi, tur bija viens māceklis, vārdā Timotejs, ticīgas Jūdu sievas dēls, bet no Grieķu tēva.
Among other places Paul went to Derbe and Lystra. At the latter place they found a disciple, named Timothy, whose mother was a Jewish woman who was a believer, while his father was a Greek,
2 Šim laba liecība tika dota no tiem brāļiem Listrā un Ikonijā.
and who was well spoken of by the followers of the Lord in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Pāvils gribēja, ka šis viņam ietu līdz; un viņš to ņēma un apgraizīja to Jūdu dēļ kas tanīs vietās bija, jo visi zināja, ka viņa tēvs bijis Grieķis.
Wishing to take this man with him on his journey, Paul caused him to be circumcised out of consideration for the Jews in that region, for they all knew that his father had been a Greek.
4 Un kad tie pārstaigāja tās pilsētas, tad tie viņiem pavēlēja, tos likumus sargāt, ko tie apustuļi un vecaji Jeruzālemē bija nosprieduši.
As they traveled from town to town, they gave the followers the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and church elders at Jerusalem, for them to observe.
5 Tad nu tās draudzes tapa stiprinātas iekš ticības, un viņu pulks jo dienas vairojās.
So the churches grew stronger in the faith, and increased in numbers from day to day.
6 Un tiem caur Friģiju un Galatiju ejot tapa aizliegts no Tā Svētā Gara, to vārdu iekš Āzijas runāt.
They next went through the Phrygian district of Galatia, but were restrained by the Holy Spirit from delivering the message in Roman Asia.
7 Mizijā nākuši tie raudzīja uz Bitiniju iet, bet Tas Gars tiem neļāva.
When they reached the borders of Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
8 Un gar Miziju gājuši tie nonāca uz Troādu.
Passing through Mysia, they went down to Troas;
9 Un Pāvils naktī redzēja parādīšanu: viens Maķedoniets stāvēja, viņu lūgdams un sacīdams: “Nāc uz Maķedoniju un palīdzi mums.”
and there one night Paul saw a vision. A Macedonian was standing and appealing to him – “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10 Un kad viņš to parādīšanu bija redzējis, tad mēs meklējām tūdaļ iziet uz Maķedoniju, nomanīdami, ka Tas Kungs mūs bija aicinājis, tiem evaņģēliju sludināt.
So, immediately after Paul had seen the vision, we looked for an opportunity to cross over to Macedonia, concluding that God had summoned us to tell the good news to the people there.
11 Tad mēs nocēlušies no Troādas gājām tiešām uz Samotrāķiju un otrā dienā uz Neapoli;
Accordingly we set sail from Troas, and ran before the wind to Samothrace, reaching Neapolis the next day.
12 Un no turienes uz Filipiem, kas ir tā lielākā pilsēta kādā Maķedonijas tiesā, kur ienācēji bija apmetušies. Un tanī pilsētā mēs palikām kādas dienas.
From there we made our way to Philippi, which is the principal city of that part of Macedonia, and also a Roman Settlement. In that city we spent several days.
13 Un tai svētā dienā mēs izgājām no pilsētas ārā gar upes malu, kur tie bija ieraduši Dievu lūgt. Un apsēdušies mēs runājām uz tām sanākušām sievām.
On the Sabbath we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who were gathered there.
14 Un viena sieva, ar vārdu Lidija, purpura pārdevēja no Tiatiras pilsētas, dievbijīga sieva, klausījās. Tai Tas Kungs sirdi atdarīja, ņemt vērā, ko Pāvils runāja.
Among them was a woman, named Lydia, belonging to Thyatira, a dealer in purple cloth, who was accustomed to join in the worship of God. The Lord touched this woman’s heart, so that she gave attention to the message delivered by Paul,
15 Un kad tā ar savu namu bija kristīta, tad tā lūdza sacīdama: “Ja jums šķiet, ka esmu ticīga uz To Kungu, tad nāciet manā namā un paliekat tur.” Un tā mūs piespieda.
and, when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us to become her guests. ‘Since you have shown your conviction,’ she said, ‘that I really am a believer in the Lord, come and stay in my house.’ And she insisted on our doing so.
16 Bet notikās, mums ejot Dievu lūgt, viena meita mūs sastapa; tai bija zīlētāja gars, un ar zīlēšanu tā saviem kungiem daudz peļnas pienesa.
One day, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, we were met by a girl possessed by a divining spirit, who made large profits for her masters by fortune-telling.
17 Šī Pāvilam un mums gāja pakaļ un brēca sacīdama: “Šie cilvēki ir Dieva, Tā Visu Augstākā, kalpi, kas jums pestīšanas ceļu sludina.”
This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, calling, ‘These men are servants of the most high God, and they are bringing you news of a way to salvation.’
18 Un to viņa darīja daudz dienas. Bet Pāvilam tas bija pretī un atgriezdamies tas uz to garu sacīja: “Jēzus Kristus vārdā es tev pavēlu iziet no tās.” Un viņš no tās izgāja tanī pašā stundā.
She had been doing this for several days, when Paul, much vexed, turned and said to the spirit within her, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to leave her.’ That very moment the spirit left her.
19 Bet viņas kungi redzēdami, ka viņu peļņas cerība bija zudusi, ņēma Pāvilu un Sīlasu un tos vilka uz tirgu pie tiem virsniekiem;
When her masters saw that there was no hope of further profit from her, they seized Paul and Silas, dragged them into the public square to the authorities,
20 Un tos pieveduši pie tiem valdītājiem, viņi sacīja: “Šie cilvēki mūsu pilsētu sajauc, Jūdi būdami,
and took them before the Magistrates. ‘These men are causing a great disturbance in our town,’ they complained;
21 Un sludina ierašas, ko mums, kas esam Romieši, neklājās nedz pieņemt, nedz darīt.”
‘They are Jews, and they are teaching customs which it is not right for us, as Romans, to sanction or adopt.’
22 Un tas ļaužu pulks cēlās pret tiem, un tie virsnieki tiem noplēsa drēbes un pavēlēja, tos ar rīkstēm šaust.
The mob rose as one person against them, and the Magistrates stripped them of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
23 Un daudz sitienus tiem devuši, viņi tos iemeta cietumā, un cietuma sargam pavēlēja, tos cieti sargāt.
After beating them severely, the Magistrates put them in prison, with orders to the jailer to keep them in safe custody.
24 Šis tādu pavēli dabūjis, tos iemeta tai dziļākā cietumā un viņu kājas apcietināja siekstā.
On receiving so strict an order, the Governor put them into the inner cell, and secured their feet in the stocks.
25 Un ap nakts vidu Pāvils un Sīlas Dievu lūdza un slavas dziesmas dziedāja, un tie, kas bija cietumā, uz viņiem klausījās.
About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and while the prisoners were listening to them,
26 Tad piepeši liela zemes trīcēšana notika, tā ka cietuma pamati kustēja, un tūdaļ visas durvis atvērās, un visiem saites tapa vaļā.
suddenly there was an earthquake of such violence that the jail was shaken to its foundations; all the doors flew open, and all the prisoners’ chains were loosened.
27 Un tas cietuma sargs uzmodies un cietuma durvis redzējis atvērtas, izvilka zobenu un gribēja sevi pašu nonāvēt, domādams, tos cietumniekus esam izbēgušus.
Roused from his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, the Governor drew his sword intending to kill himself, in the belief that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Bet Pāvils ar stipru balsi brēca sacīdams: “Nedari sev ļauna, jo mēs visi esam šeitan.”
But Paul called our loudly, ‘Do not harm yourself; we are all here.’
29 Un viņš sveci prasījis, ieskrēja un drebēdams metās zemē priekš Pāvila un Sīlasa,
Calling for a light, the Governor rushed in, and flung himself trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.
30 Un tos izveda ārā un sacīja: “Kungi, ko man būs darīt, lai es mūžīgi dzīvoju?”
Then he led them out, and said, ‘What must I do to be saved?’
31 Un tie sacīja: “Tici uz To Kungu Jēzu Kristu, tad tu un viss tavs nams mūžīgi dzīvos.”
‘Believe in Jesus, our Lord,’ they replied, ‘and you will be saved, you and your household too.’
32 Un tie runāja Tā Kunga vārdu uz viņu un uz visiem, kas bija tanī namā.
Then they spoke to him of God’s message, and to all his household as well.
33 Un viņš tos uzņēma tanī pašā nakts stundā un tiem brūces nomazgāja; un tūdaļ viņš tapa kristīts, pats un visi viņa piederīgie.
And that very hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds, and he himself and everyone belonging to him were baptized without delay.
34 Un viņš tos veda savā namā, tos sēdināja pie galda un priecājās, ka viņš ar visu savu namu bija nācis pie ticības uz Dievu.
Afterwards he took them up to his house and set before them something to eat, rejoicing that he, with all his household, had come to believe in God.
35 Kad nu gaisma bija aususi, tad tie virsnieki sūtīja sulaiņus, un lika sacīt: “Palaid šos cilvēkus.”
In the morning the Magistrates sent the guards with an order for the men to be discharged.
36 Un tas cietuma sargs Pāvilam pasludināja šos vārdus: “Tie virsnieki sūtījuši, lai jūs atlaiž. Tad nu izejiet un staigājiet ar mieru.”
The jailer told Paul of his instructions. ‘The Magistrates have sent an order for your discharge,’ he said, ‘so you had better leave the place at once and go quietly away.’
37 Bet Pāvils uz tiem sacīja: “Tie mūs, Romiešu cilvēkus, netiesātus visiem redzot ir šautuši un cietumā iemetuši, un tagad tie mūs slepeni izmet? Tā ne; bet lai viņi paši nāk un mūs izved.”
But Paul’s answer to them was, ‘They have flogged us in public without trial, though we are Roman citizens, and they have put us in prison, and now they are for sending us out secretly! No, indeed! Let them come and take us out themselves.’
38 Un tie sulaiņi atsacīja šos vārdus tiem virsniekiem: un tie bijās, dzirdēdami, tos esam Romiešus.
The guards reported his words to the Magistrates, who, on hearing that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, were alarmed,
39 Un nākuši viņi tos pārrunāja un tos izveda un lūdza, iziet no tās pilsētas.
and went to the prison, and did their best to conciliate them. Then they took them out, and begged them to leave the city.
40 Un tie no cietuma izgājuši, nogāja pie tās Lidijas; un tos brāļus redzējuši, tie tos pamācīja un aizgāja.
When Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, and, after they had seen the Lord’s followers, and encouraged them, they left the place.
