Apustuļu Darbi 20
1 Un pēc, kad troksnis bija klusināts, Pāvils tos mācekļus saaicināja un tos sveicinājis izgāja un devās uz Maķedoniju.
When the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and, with encouraging words, bade them goodbye, and started on his journey to Macedonia.
2 Un pārstaigājis to vidu un ar daudz vārdiem tos pamācījis, viņš nāca Grieķu zemē.
After going through those districts and speaking many encouraging words to the disciples, he went into Greece, where he stayed three months.
3 Un tur kādus trīs mēnešus palicis viņš gribēja pārcelties uz Sīriju; bet kad tie Jūdi uz viņu glūnēja, tad viņš apņēmās, atpakaļ griezties caur Maķedoniju.
He was about to sail to Syria, when he learned that a plot had been laid against him by several of the Jewish leaders; so he decided to return by way of Macedonia.
4 Un viņu pavadīja līdz Āzijai Sopaters no Berejas, bet no Tesaloniķiešiem Aristarks un Sekunds, un Gajus no Derbes, un Timotejs, no Āzijas Tihiks un Trofims.
He was accompanied by Sopater the son of Pyrrhus, of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, as well as by Tychicus and Trophimus of Roman Asia.
5 Šie papriekš gājuši mūs gaidīja Troadā.
These people went to Troas and waited for us there;
6 Bet mēs nocēlāmies pēc tām neraudzētas maizes dienām no Filipiem, un nonācām piecās dienās pie tiem uz Troadu, kur mēs septiņas dienas palikām.
while we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the Passover, and joined them five days later at Troas, where we stayed for a week.
7 Bet pirmā nedēļas dienā, kad tie mācekļi bija sanākuši to maizi lauzt, Pāvils ar tiem sarunājās, gribēdams otrā dienā aiziet; un viņš to vārdu mācīja līdz pusnaktij.
On the first day of the week, when we had met for the breaking of bread, Paul, who was intending to leave the next day, began to address those who were present, and prolonged his address until midnight.
8 Un tur daudz eļļas lukturi bija tanī augšistabā, kur tie bija sapulcējušies.
There were a good many lamps in the upstairs room, where we had met;
9 Un viens jauneklis, ar vārdu Eutiks, sēdēja uz loga un tika no dziļa miega pārņemts, tāpēc ka Pāvils tik ilgi runāja, un no miega pārvarēts tas nokrita no trešā stāva un tapa uzcelts nedzīvs.
and a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, was gradually overcome with great drowsiness, as Paul continued his address. At last, quite overpowered by his drowsiness, he fell from the third story to the ground, and was picked up for dead.
10 Bet Pāvils nokāpis uzmetās uz viņu un to apkampa sacīdams: “Nedariet troksni, jo tā dvēsele ir iekš viņa.”
But Paul went down, threw himself on him, and put his arms round him. ‘Do not be alarmed,’ he said, ‘he is still alive.’
11 Un viņš uzkāpa un to maizi lauzis un baudījis vēl labu laiku līdz gaismai sludināja Dieva vārdu un viņš aizgāja.
Then he went upstairs; and, after breaking and partaking of the bread, he talked with them at great length until daybreak, and then left.
12 Un tie to jaunekli atveda dzīvu un tapa ļoti iepriecināti.
Meanwhile they had taken the lad away alive, and were greatly comforted.
13 Bet mēs laivā gājuši papriekš nocēlāmies uz Assonu, gribēdami tur Pāvilu uzņemt; jo tā viņš bija pavēlējis, gribēdams pats kājām iet.
We started first, went on board ship, and sailed for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. This was by his own arrangement, as he intended to go by land himself.
14 Un kad viņš Assonā ar mums satikās, tad mēs viņu uzņēmām un nācām uz Mitileni.
So, when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went on to Mitylene.
15 Un no turienes nocēlušies mēs nācām otrā dienā pret Hiju, un dienu vēlāk mēs piestājām Samus malā, un tad palikām Troģillā un nācām otrā dienā uz Mileti.
The day after we had sailed from there, we arrived off Chios, touched at Samos the following day, and the next day reached Miletus;
16 Jo Pāvils bija apņēmies Efesum garām celties, ka viņš laiku nekavētu iekš Āzijas, jo viņš steidzās, ja to paspētu, uz vasaras svētkiem tikt Jeruzālemē.
for Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so as to avoid spending much time in Roman Asia. He was making haste to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the Festival at the close of the Harvest.
17 Bet viņš sūtīja no Miletes uz Efesu un ataicināja tās draudzes vecajus.
From Miletus, however, he sent to Ephesus and invited the church elders to meet him;
18 Un kad tie pie viņa nāca, viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Jūs zināt no tās pirmās dienas, kur es uz Āziju nācis, kāds es pa visu to laiku pie jums esmu bijis,
and, when they came, he said to them, ‘You know well the life that I always led among you from the very first day that I set foot in Roman Asia,
19 Tam Kungam kalpodams ar visu pazemību un ar daudz asarām un kārdināšanām, kas man notikušas caur Jūdu viltībām;
serving the Lord, as I did, in all humility, amid the tears and trials which fell to my lot through the plots of some of the Jewish leaders.
20 Ka es nenieka neesmu paslēpis no visa tā, kas jums par labu, ka jums to nebūtu pasludinājis un mācījis, tā draudzē, kā pa mājām;
I never shrank from telling you anything that could be helpful to you, or from teaching you both in public and in private.
21 Apliecinādams tik pat Jūdiem kā arī Grieķiem atgriešanos pie Dieva un ticību uz mūsu Kungu Jēzu Kristu.
I earnestly pointed both Jews and Greeks to the repentance that leads to God, and to faith in Jesus, our Lord.
22 Un nu redzi, es garā saistīts eju uz Jeruzālemi, nezinādams, kas man tur notiks.
And now, under spiritual constraint, I am here on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
23 Tomēr Svētais Gars ikvienā pilsētā liecību dod sacīdams, ka saites un bēdas mani gaida.
except that in town after town the Holy Spirit plainly declares to me that imprisonment and troubles await me.
24 Bet es neko par to nebēdāju, un mana dzīvība man pašam nav dārga, ka nepabeigtu ar prieku savu amatu, ko es esmu dabūjis no Tā Kunga Jēzus, apliecināt to evaņģēliju no Dieva žēlastības.
But I count my life of no value to myself, if only I may complete the course marked out for me, and the task that was allotted me by the Lord Jesus – which was to declare the good news of the love of God.
25 Un nu redzi, es zinu, ka jūs manu vaigu vairs neredzēsiet, jūs visi, pie kuriem es esmu staigājis, Dieva valstību sludinādams.
And now, I tell you, I know that none of you will ever see my face again – you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.
26 Tāpēc es jūsu priekšā apliecināju šinī pašā dienā, ka es skaidrs esmu no visu asinīm.
Therefore I declare to you this day, that my conscience is clear in regard to the fate of any of you,
27 Jo es neesmu atrāvies, ka jums nebūtu pasludinājis visu Dieva padomu.
for I have not shrunk from announcing the whole purpose of God regarding you.
28 Tāpēc sargājat sevi pašus un visu to ganāmo pulku, pār ko Svētais Gars jūs iecēlis par bīskapiem, Dieva draudzi ganīt, ko Viņš ar Savām paša asinīm atpircis.
Be watchful over yourselves, and over the whole flock, of which the Holy Spirit has placed you in charge, to shepherd the church of God, which he won for himself at the cost of his life.
29 Jo es to zinu, ka pēc manas aiziešanas plēsīgi vilki pie jums ielauzīsies, kas to ganāmo pulku nesaudzēs.
I know that, after my departure, merciless wolves will get in among you, who will not spare the flock;
30 Un no jums pašiem vīri celsies, negantas lietas runādami, ka tie tos mācekļus novērstu sev pakaļ.
and from among yourselves, too, people will arise, who will teach perversions of truth, so as to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Tāpēc esiet modrīgi, pieminēdami, ka es trīs gadus naktīm dienām neesmu mitējies ar asarām ikvienu pamācīt.
Therefore, be on your guard, remembering how for three years, night and day, I never ceased, even with tears, to warn each one of you.
32 Un nu, brāļi, es jūs nododu Dievam un Viņa žēlastības vārdam, kas ir spēcīgs, jūs uztaisīt un jums mantību dot ar visiem svētītiem.
And now I commend you to the Lord and to the message of his love – a message which has the power to build up your characters, and to give you your place among all those who have become Christ’s people.
33 Sudrabu vai zeltu vai drēbes es no neviena neesmu kārojis.
I have never coveted anyone’s gold or silver or clothing.
34 Bet jūs paši zināt, ka šās rokas manai vajadzībai un tiem, kas pie manis bija, ir kalpojušas.
You, yourselves, know that these hands of mine provided not only for my own wants, but for my companions also.
35 Es jums visas lietas esmu rādījis, ka tā strādājot piederas vājos uzņemt un pieminēt Tā Kunga Jēzus vārdu, jo Viņš ir sacījis: “Svētīgāk ir dot, nekā ņemt.””
I left nothing undone to show you that, labouring as I laboured, you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said himself – “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”’
36 Un šo sacījis, viņš ceļos metās un līdz ar visiem tiem Dievu pielūdza.
When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 Bet tur visi gauži raudāja; un tie metās ap Pāvila kaklu un viņu skūpstīja,
All were in tears; and throwing their arms round Paul’s neck, they kissed him again and again,
38 Visvairāk no sirds sāpēm pārņemti tā vārda dēļ, ko viņš bija sacījis, ka tiem vairs nebūšot viņa vaigu redzēt. Un tie viņu pavadīja uz laivu.
grieving most of all over what he had said – that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship.
