Apustuļu Darbi 18
1 Un pēc tam Pāvils aizgāja no Atēnas un nāca uz Korintu,
On leaving Athens, Paul next went to Corinth.
2 Un atrada kādu Jūdu, ar vārdu Aķilu, pēc dzimtenes no Pontus, kas nesen ar Prisķilu, savu sievu, no Itālijas bija atnācis, (tāpēc ka ķeizars Klaudijs bija pavēlējis, visiem Jūdiem iziet no Romas), un iegāja pie tiem.
There he met a Jew of the name of Aquila, from Pontus, who, with his wife Priscilla, had lately come from Italy, in consequence of the order which had been issued by the Emperor Claudius for all Jews to leave Rome. Paul paid them a visit,
3 Un ar to vienādā amatā būdams viņš pie tiem palika un strādāja; jo tie savā amatā bija telšu taisītāji.
and, since their trade was the same as his, he stayed and worked with them – their trade was tent-making.
4 Un viņš ik svētdienas mācīja baznīcā un pārliecināja gan Jūdus, gan Ģrieķus.
Every Sabbath Paul gave addresses in the synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks.
5 Un kad Sīlas un Timotejs no Maķedonijas bija atnākuši, tad Pāvils garā tapa piespiests, tiem Jūdiem apliecināt, ka Jēzus esot Tas Kristus.
But, when Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to delivering the message, earnestly maintaining before the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 Bet kad tie turējās pretī un zaimoja, tad viņš drēbes izkratījis uz tiem sacīja: jūsu asinis uz jūsu galvu! Es esmu skaidrs, no šā laika es iešu pie tiem pagāniem.
However, as they set themselves against him and became abusive, Paul shook his clothes in protest and said to them, ‘Your blood be on your own heads. My conscience is clear. From this time forward I will go to the Gentiles.’
7 Un no turienes aizgājis tas nāca kāda cilvēka namā, kam bija vārds Justs, un tas Dievu bijās, un viņa nams pie baznīcas bija tuvu klāt.
So he left, and went to the house of a certain Titius Justus, who had been accustomed to join in the worship of God, and whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Bet Krispus, tas baznīcas virsnieks, ticēja uz To Kungu ar visu savu namu, un daudz no Korintiešiem, viņu dzirdēdami, ticēja un tapa kristīti.
Crispus, the synagogue leader, came to believe in the Lord, and so did all his household; and many of the Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, became believers in Christ and were baptized.
9 Un Tas Kungs naktī caur vienu parādīšanu uz Pāvilu sacīja: “Nebīsties, bet runā un neciet klusu.
One night the Lord said to Paul, in a vision, ‘Have no fear, but continue to speak, and refuse to be silenced;
10 Jo Es esmu ar tevi, un neviens necelsies pret tevi, ļaunu tev darīt; jo Man ir daudz ļaužu šinī pilsētā.”
for I am with you, and no one will do you harm, for I have many people in this city.’
11 Un viņš tur sabija gadu un sešus mēnešus, Dieva vārdu pie viņiem mācīdams.
So he settled there for a year and a half, and taught God’s message among the people.
12 Un kad Gallions Akajā bija zemes soģis, tad tie Jūdi vienā prātā cēlās pret Pāvilu, un to veda priekš soģa krēsla,
While Gallio was governor of Greece, some of the Jewish leaders made a combined attack on Paul, and brought him before the Governor’s Bench,
13 Sacīdami: ‘Šis tos ļaudis pārrunā Dievam kalpot pret bauslību.”
charging him with persuading people to worship God in a way forbidden by the Law.
14 Bet kad Pāvils muti gribēja atvērt, Gallions uz tiem Jūdiem sacīja: “Ja tur būtu kāds netaisns darbs jeb blēņu lieta, jūs Jūdi, tad es jūs labprāt klausītu.
Just as Paul was on the point of speaking, Gallio said to them, ‘If this were a case of misdemeanour or some serious crime, there would be some reason for my listening patiently to you;
15 Bet kad nu jautāšana ir par mācību un vārdiem un bauslību, kas jums ir, tad lūkojiet jūs paši, jo es par to negribu būt tiesātājs.”
but, since it is a dispute about words, and names, and your own Law, you must see to it yourselves. I do not choose to be a judge in such matters.’
16 Un viņš tos dzina nost no soģa krēsla.
Saying this, he drove them back from the Bench.
17 Bet visi Grieķi ņēma Sostenu, to baznīcas virsnieku, un to kūla priekš soģa krēsla, un Gallions par to neko nebēdāja.
Then they all set on Sosthenes, the synagogue leader, and beat him in front of the Bench, but Gallio did not trouble himself about any of these things.
18 Un Pāvils vēl daudz dienas tur palicis, no tiem brāļiem atvadījās, un cēlās pāri uz Sīriju, un līdz ar viņu Prisķila un Aķila, kas Kenhrejā savu galvu bija apcirpis: jo to bija solījies.
Paul remained there some time after this, and then took leave of the followers, and sailed to Syria with Priscilla and Aquila, but not before his head had been shaved at Cenchreae, because he was under a vow.
19 Un viņš nonāca uz Efesu un tos tur atstāja, bet pats iegāja baznīcā un sarunājās ar tiem Jūdiem.
They put into Ephesus, and there Paul, leaving his companions, went into the synagogue and addressed the Jews.
20 Un kad tie viņu lūdza, ilgāki pie tiem palikt, tad viņš negribēja,
When they asked him to prolong his stay, he declined, saying however,
21 Bet šķīrās no tiem sacīdams: “Nākamie svētki man visādā vīzē jāsvētī Jeruzālemē, bet es atkal atgriezīšos pie jums, ja Dievs grib;” un viņš aizcēlās no Efesus.
as he took his leave, ‘I will come back again to you, please God,’ and then set sail from Ephesus.
22 Un uz Cezareju nācis viņš nogāja un apsveicināja to draudzi un devās uz Antioķiju.
On reaching Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and exchanged greetings with the church, and then went down to Antioch.
23 Un tur kādu laiku palicis, viņš izgāja un pēc kārtas pārstaigāja Galatijas un Friģijas tiesu un stiprināja visus mācekļus.
After making some stay in Antioch, he set out on a tour through the Phrygian district of Galatia, strengthening the faith of all the disciples as he went.
24 Bet viens Jūdu vīrs, ar vārdu Apollus, dzimis Aleksandriets, vīrs, varens vārdos, nonāca uz Efesu; tas bija spēcīgs rakstos.
Meanwhile there had come to Ephesus an Alexandrian Jew, named Apollos, an eloquent man, who was well-versed in the scriptures.
25 Šis bija mācīts Tā Kunga ceļā, un karstā garā tas runāja un mācīja skaidri visu no Tā Kunga, jebšu viņš Jāņa kristību vien pazina.
He had been well-instructed in the Way of the Lord, and with burning zeal he spoke of, and taught carefully, the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John’s.
26 Un tas iesāka droši runāt baznīcā. Un viņu dzirdējuši, Aķila un Prisķila viņu ņēma pie sevis un viņam vēl skaidrāki Tā Kunga ceļu izstāstīja.
This man began to speak out fearlessly in the synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained the Way of God to him more carefully still.
27 Un kad viņš gribēja noiet uz Akaju, tad tie brāļi tos mācekļus lūdza caur rakstiem, lai viņu uzņem; šis tur nonācis, daudz ir palīdzējis tiem, kas caur žēlastību ticēja.
When he wanted to cross to Greece, the followers furthered his plans, and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival he proved of great assistance to those who had, through the loving kindness of God, become believers in Christ,
28 Jo viņš tos Jūdus stipri pārliecināja, visu ļaužu priekšā no tiem rakstiem pierādīdams, ka Jēzus ir Tas Kristus.
for he vigorously confuted the Jews, publicly proving by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
