Apustuļu Darbi 21
1 Un kad notikās, ka mēs no tiem atšķīrušies, tad mēs braucām taisnā ceļā un nācām uz Kosu un otrā dienā uz Rodu un no turienes uz Pataru.
When we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran before the wind to Cos; the next day we came to Rhodes, and from there to Patara,
2 Un laivu atraduši, kas uz Feniķiju pārcēlās, mēs iekāpām un aizcēlāmies.
where we found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, and went on board and set sail.
3 Un kad mēs Kipru ieraudzījām un pa kreiso roku pametām, tad cēlāmies uz Sīriju, un Tīrū mēs laidām pie malas, jo tur tai laivai prece bija jāizkrauj.
After sighting Cyprus and leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and put into Tyre, where the ship was to discharge her cargo.
4 Un mācekļus atraduši, mēs tur palikām septiņas dienas; tie Pāvilam caur to Garu sacīja, lai tas neietu uz Jeruzālemi.
There we found the disciples and stayed a week with them. Speaking under the influence of the Spirit, they warned Paul not to set foot in Jerusalem.
5 Un notikās pēc šīm dienām, tad mēs izgājām un devāmies projām, un tur visi ar sievām un bērniem mūs izvadīja no pilsētas ārā; un mēs pie jūrmalas ceļos metušies Dievu lūdzām.
However, when we had come to the end of our visit, we went on our way, all the disciples with their wives and children escorting us out of the city. We knelt down on the beach, and prayed,
6 Un kad savā starpā bijām atvadījušies, iekāpām laivā. Bet viņi griezās atpakaļ uz savām mājām.
and then said goodbye to one another; after which we went on board, and they returned home.
7 Bet mēs joprojām no Tīrus pārcēlušies laidām pie Ptolemajidas malā; un tos brāļus apsveicinājuši, mēs pie tiem palikām vienu dienu.
After we had made the run from Tyre, we landed at Ptolemais, and exchanged greetings with the followers there, and spent a day with them.
8 Bet otrā dienā mēs, kas ap Pāvilu bijām, izgājuši nācām uz Cezareju; un iegājuši evanģelista Filipa namā, (kas bija viens no tiem septiņiem), mēs pie tā palikām.
The next day we left, and reached Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip, the missionary, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.
9 Bet šim bija četras meitas, jumpravas, kas nākošas lietas sludināja.
He had four unmarried daughters, who had the gift of prophecy.
10 Un kad mēs kādas dienas tur bijām palikuši, viens pravietis atnāca no Jūdu zemes, ar vārdu Agabs.
During our visit, which lasted several days, a prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judea.
11 Un tas nāca pie mums un ņēma Pāvila jostu un saistīja pats sev rokas un kājas sacīdams: “Tā Svētais Gars saka: to vīru, kam šī josta pieder, tāpat tie Jūdi saistīs Jeruzālemē un viņu nodos pagānu rokās.”
He came to see us, and, taking Paul’s belt, and binding his own feet and hands with it, said, ‘This is what the Holy Spirit says – “The man to whom this belt belongs will be bound like this by the religious authorities in Jerusalem, and they will give him up to the Gentiles”.’
12 Un kad mēs to dzirdējām, tad ne vien mēs lūdzām, bet arī tie, kas tai vietā dzīvoja, lai viņš neietu uz Jeruzālemi.
When we heard that, we and the people of the place began to entreat Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Bet Pāvils atbildēja: “Ko jūs darāt, ka raudāt un laužat manu sirdi? Jo es esmu gatavs par Tā Kunga Jēzus vārdu ne vien likties saistīties Jeruzālemē, bet arī mirt.”
It was then that Paul made the reply, ‘Why are you weeping and breaking my heart like this? For my part, I am ready not only to be bound, but even to suffer death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.’
14 Un kad viņš neļāvās pārrunāties, tad mēs palikām klusu, sacīdami: “Tā Kunga prāts lai notiek.”
So, as he would not be persuaded, we said no more to him, only adding – ‘The Lord’s will be done.’
15 Pēc šīm dienām mēs sataisījamies un gājām uz Jeruzālemi.
At the end of our visit, we made our preparations, and started on our way up to Jerusalem.
16 Un tur arī kādi mācekļi no Cezarejas mums nāca līdz un mūs veda pie viena veca mācekļa, Mnasona no Kipras, lai pie tā mājotu.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, and brought Mnason with them, a Cypriot disciple of long standing, with whom we were to stay.
17 Un kad nācām uz Jeruzālemi, tad tie brāļi mūs ar mīļu prātu uzņēma.
On our arrival at Jerusalem, the followers of the Lord there gave us a hearty welcome;
18 Un otrā dienā Pāvils ar mums nogāja pie Jēkaba; un visi vecaji tur arīdzan sanāca.
and the next day Paul went with us to see James, and all the church elders were present.
19 Un viņš tos sveicinājis, pa kārtām stāstīja visu, ko Dievs pie pagāniem caur viņa kalpošanu bija darījis.
After greeting them, Paul related in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his efforts;
20 Un to dzirdējuši, tie To Kungu teica un uz viņu sacīja: “Brāli, tu redzi, cik tūkstoši Jūdu ir, kas palikuši ticīgi, un visi gauži dzenās pēc bauslības.
and, when they had heard it, they began praising God, and said to Paul: ‘You see, brother, that those of our people who have become believers in Christ may be numbered by tens of thousands, and they are all naturally earnest in upholding the Jewish Law.
21 Un tie par tevi dabūjuši zināt, ka tu visus Jūdus, kas starp pagāniem, mācot atstāties no Mozus, sacīdams, ka tiem nebūs savus bērnus apgraizīt, nedz pēc tām ierašām dzīvot.
Now they have heard it said about you, that you teach all of our people in foreign countries to forsake Moses, for you tell them not to circumcise their children or even to observe Jewish customs.
22 Tādēļ ko tad nu? Tiešām, gan ļaužu pulks sanāks; jo tie dzirdēs tevi esam atnākušu.
Well now, as they are certain to hear of your arrival, do what we are going to suggest.
23 Tāpēc dari to, ko mēs tev sakām: mums ir četri vīri, tie Dievam ir solījušies.
We have four men here, who have of their own accord put themselves under a vow.
24 Tos ņem pie sevis un šķīsties ar tiem, un izdod par tiem to maksu, ka tie galvu apcērp, un lai visi zin, ka tie nieki, ko tie par tevi dzirdējuši, bet ka arī tu pats bauslību turēdams staigā.
Join these men, share their purification, and bear their expenses, so that they may shave their heads; and then all will see that there is no truth in what they have been told about you, but that, on the contrary, you yourself rule your life in obedience to the Jewish Law.
25 Bet par tiem pagāniem, kas palikuši ticīgi, mēs esam rakstījuši un sprieduši, ka tiem nebūs neko no tādām lietām turēt, kā vien, ka tiem būs sargāties no elkadievu upuriem un no asinīm un no nožņaugtā un no maucības.”
As to the Gentiles who have become believers in Christ, we have sent our decision that they should avoid food offered to idols, and blood, and the flesh of strangled animals, and impurity.’
26 Tad Pāvils tos vīrus pie sevis ņēmis otrā dienā ar tiem šķīstījās un iegāja Dieva namā, un darīja zināmu, ka šķīstīšanas laiku tur palikšot, tiekams par ikvienu no tiem upura dāvana būšot pienesta.
Paul joined the men, and the next day shared their purification, and went into the Temple, and gave notice of the expiration of the period of purification when the usual offering should have been made on behalf of each of them.
27 Bet kad tās septiņas dienas jau drīz bija beigtas, tad tie Jūdi no Āzijas, viņu ieraudzīdami Dieva namā, paskubināja visu to pulku un rokas pie viņa pielika,
But, just as the seven days were drawing to a close, some of the Jewish people from Roman Asia caught sight of Paul in the Temple, and caused great excitement among all the people present, by seizing Paul and shouting,
28 Saukdami: “Jūs Israēla vīri, nāciet palīgā! Šis ir tas cilvēks, kas visus visās malās māca pret tautu un pret bauslību un pret šo vietu, un turklāt viņš Grieķus ir ievedis Dieva namā un šo svēto vietu apgānījis.”
‘People of Israel! Help! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people, our Law, and this place; and, what is more, he has actually brought Greeks into the Temple and defiled this sacred place.’
29 (Jo tie priekš tam Trofimu no Efesus pie viņa bija redzējuši pilsētā un domāja, ka Pāvils to esot ievedis Dieva namā.)
(For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in Paul’s company in the city, and were under the belief that Paul had taken him into the Temple.)
30 Un visa tā pilsēta tapa trokšņa pilna, un tie ļaudis satecēja kopā; un tie grāba un rāva Pāvilu no Dieva nama ārā, un tūdaļ durvis tapa aizslēgtas.
The whole city was stirred, and the people quickly collected, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the Temple, when the doors were immediately shut.
31 Un kad tie meklēja viņu nokaut, tad tā ziņa nāca pie tā karapulka virsnieka, ka visa Jeruzāleme esot sajaukta.
They were bent on killing him, when it was reported to the officer commanding the garrison, that all Jerusalem was in commotion.
32 Šis tūdaļ karavīrus un kapteiņus paņēmis, pie tiem noskrēja, un kad tie to virsnieku un tos karavīrus redzēja, tad tie mitējās Pāvilu sist.
He instantly got together some officers and soldiers, and charged down on the crowd, who, when they saw the commanding officer and his soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 Tad tas virsnieks piegājis viņu saņēma un pavēlēja, viņu ar divām ķēdēm saistīt, un vaicāja, kas viņš esot un ko esot darījis?
Then he went up to Paul, arrested him, ordered him to be doubly chained, and proceeded to inquire who he was, and what he had been doing.
34 Bet tai pulkā citi sauca šā, citi tā. Kad tas nu tā trokšņa dēļ to lietu skaidri nevarēja saprast, tad tas pavēlēja, viņu vest lēģerī.
Some of the crowd said one thing, and some another; and, as he could get no definite reply because of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.
35 Un kad viņš pie tām trepēm nāca, tad viņš no tiem karavīriem nešus bija jānes to ļaužu uzmākšanās dēļ.
When Paul reached the steps, he was actually being carried by the soldiers, owing to the violence of the mob;
36 Jo tas ļaužu pulks gāja pakaļ saukdams: “Nost ar viņu!”
for the people were following in a mass, shouting out, ‘Kill him!’
37 Un Pāvils, pirms lēģerī tapa ievests, uz to virsnieku saka: “Vai man brīv tev ko sacīt?” Un tas sacīja: “Vai tu proti grieķiski?
Just as he was about to be taken into the Fort, Paul said to the commanding officer, ‘May I speak to you?’ ‘Do you know Greek?’ asked the commanding officer.
38 Vai tu neesi tas Ēģiptiets, kas priekš šīm dienām dumpi cēlis un tos četrtūkstošus slepkavas uz tuksnesi izvedis?”
‘Aren’t you, then, the Egyptian who some time ago raised an insurrection and led the four thousand Bandits out into the wilderness?’
39 Bet Pāvils sacīja: “Es esmu Jūdu cilvēks no Tarsus, zināmas Ķiliķijas pilsētas loceklis, es tevi lūdzu, vēli man uz tiem ļaudīm runāt.”
‘No,’ said Paul, ‘I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a city of some note. I beg you to give me permission to speak to the people.’
40 Un kad tas bija atvēlējis, tad Pāvils uz tām trepēm stāvēdams meta tiem ļaudīm ar roku; un kad nu pavisam palika klusu, tad viņš Ebreju valodā tos uzrunāja un sacīja:
The commanding officer gave his permission, and Paul, standing on the steps, made signs with his hand to the people, and, when comparative silence had been obtained, he said to them in Hebrew:
