Apustuļu Darbi 28
1 Un kad tie bija izglābti, tad tie dabūja zināt, ka tā sala tapa saukta Melite.
When we were all safe, we found that the island was called Malta.
2 Un tie salas ļaudis mums parādīja lielu laipnību; jo tie uguni uzkūruši mūs visus uzņēma, tā lietus dēļ kas bija sācis līt, un tā aukstuma dēļ.
The island’s people showed us marked kindness, for they lit a fire and took us all under shelter, because it had come on to rain and was cold.
3 Un kad Pāvils kādu žagaru nastiņu bija salasījis un pie uguns pielicis, tad viena odze no tā karstuma izlīda un ap viņa roku aptinās.
Paul had gathered a quantity of dry sticks and laid them on the fire, when a poisonous snake, driven out by the heat, fastened on his hand.
4 Un kad tie salas ļaudis to tārpu redzēja pie viņa rokas karājamies, tad tie sacīja savā starpā: šis cilvēks tiešām ir slepkava, kam no jūras izglābtam atriebšana neļauj dzīvot.
When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, ‘Evidently this man is a murderer, for though he has been saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.’
5 Bet viņš to tārpu nokratīja ugunī un neko ļauna necieta.
However, Paul shook the creature off into the fire and took no harm.
6 Un tie gaidīja, ka tas uztūktu, vai piepeši nomiris pakristu; bet kad tie ilgi bija gaidījuši un redzēja, ka nekāds ļaunums viņam nenotika, tad tiem citas domas nāca, un tie sacīja, viņu esam dievu.
The islanders were expecting inflammation to set in, or that he would suddenly fall dead; but, after waiting for a long time, and seeing that there was nothing amiss with him, they changed their minds and said that he was a God.
7 Un ap to pašu vietu tam salas virsniekam, ar vārdu Publijus, bija muiža; tas mūs uzņēma un trīs dienas laipni kopa.
In that region there was an estate belonging to the Governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He took us up to his house, and for three days entertained us most courteously.
8 Un notikās, ka Publijus tēvs ar drudzi un ar asins sērgu sirga; pie tā Pāvils iegāja un Dievu pielūdzis rokas tam uzlika un to darīja veselu.
It happened that the father of Publius was lying ill of fever and dysentery. So Paul went to see him; and, after praying, he placed his hands on him and cured him.
9 Kad nu tas bija noticis, tad arī tie citi atnāca, kam tanī salā bija sērgas, un tapa dziedināti.
After this, all the people in the island who had any illness came to Paul, and were cured.
10 Tie arīdzan mūs ar lielu godu pagodināja, un kad mēs aizcēlāmies, tie deva, ko mums vajadzēja.
They also presented us with many gifts, and when we set sail they put supplies of necessaries on board.
11 Un pēc trim mēnešiem aizcēlāmies ar laivu, kas bija no Aleksandrijas un tanī salā pa ziemu bija mitusi, un kam par zīmi bija dvīņi.
After three months, we set sail in a ship that had wintered in the island. She was an Alexandrian vessel, and had the Twin sons of Zeus for her figure-head.
12 Un uz Sirakuzu nākuši, mēs tur palikām trīs dienas.
We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days,
13 No turienes atkal aizcēlušies, mēs nācām uz Reģiu; un kad pēc vienas dienas dienasvidus vējš cēlās, tad nācām otrā dienā uz Puteoliem.
and from there we worked to windward and so got to Rhegium. A day later a south wind sprang up and took us to Puteoli in two days.
14 Tur mēs atradām brāļus un no tiem tapām lūgti, septiņas dienas pie tiem palikt, un tā mēs nācām uz Romu.
There we found some of the Lord’s followers, and were urged to stay a week with them; after which we went on to Rome.
15 Un no turienes tie brāļi, par mums dzirdējuši, izgāja mums pretī līdz Appijus tirgum un TriTabernām; tos redzēdams, Pāvils Dievam pateicās un ņēmās drošu prātu.
The followers there had heard about us, and came out as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At sight of them Paul thanked God and was much cheered.
16 Un kad mēs nācām uz Romu, tad tas kapteinis tos saistītos nodeva tam karavaldniekam, bet Pāvilam vaļa tapa dota, savrup palikt ar kādu karavīru, kas viņu sargāja.
On our reaching Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, except for the soldier who was in charge of him.
17 Un notikās pēc trim dienām, ka Pāvils Jūdu priekšniekus saaicināja. Un kad tie bija kopā sanākuši, viņš uz tiem sacīja: ‘Vīri, brāļi, es neko neesmu darījis ne pret šiem ļaudīm, ne pret tēvu ieradumiem un tomēr saistīts no Jeruzālemes esmu nodots Romiešu rokās.
Three days after our arrival, Paul invited the leading Jews to meet him; and, when they came, he said, ‘Brothers, although I had done nothing hostile to the interests of our nation or to our ancestral customs, yet I was sent from Jerusalem as a prisoner, and handed over to the Romans.
18 Tie izjautājuši gribēja mani atlaist, tādēļ ka nekādas nāves vainas pie manis nebija.
The Romans, when they had examined me, were ready to release me, because there was nothing in my conduct deserving death.
19 Bet kad tie Jūdi pretī runāja, tad tapu spiests, ķeizaru piesaukt, tomēr ne tā, ka man būtu ko sūdzēt pret savu tautu.
But, as the Jewish leaders opposed my release, I was compelled to appeal to the Emperor – not, indeed, that I had any charge to make against my own nation.
20 Tad nu šās lietas dēļ es jūs esmu lūdzis, ka dabūtu jūs redzēt un ar jums runāt. Jo Israēla cerības dēļ es ar šīm ķēdēm esmu saistīts.”
This, then, is my reason for urging you to come to see me and talk with me; because it is for the sake of the hope of Israel that I am here in chains.’
21 Bet tie uz viņu sacīja: “Mēs neesam nedz grāmatas par tevi no Jūdu zemes dabūjuši, nedz arī kāds no tiem atnākušiem brāļiem par tevi ko ļauna ir sludinājis jeb runājis.
‘We,’ was their reply, ‘have not had any letter about you from Judea, nor have any of our fellow Jews come and reported or said anything bad about you.
22 Tomēr mēs gribam no tevis dzirdēt, ko tu domā; jo no šās draudzes mums ir zināms, ka tai visās malās top pretī runāts.”
But we will be glad to hear from you what your views are, for, with regard to this sect, we are well aware that it is spoken against on all sides.’
23 Un kad tie viņam vienu dienu bija nolikuši, tad daudzi nāca pie viņa mājas vietā; tiem viņš Dieva valstību apliecināja un izstāstīja, tos pārliecinādams par Jēzu no rīta agri līdz vakaram.
They then fixed a day with him, and came to the place where he was staying, in even larger numbers, when Paul proceeded to lay the subject before them. He bore his testimony to the kingdom of God, and tried to convince them about Jesus, by arguments drawn from the Law of Moses and from the prophets – speaking from morning until evening.
24 Un citi gan tapa pārliecināti caur to, ko viņš sacīja, bet citi neticēja.
Some were inclined to accept what he said; others, however, rejected it.
25 Un nebūdami savā starpā vienprātīgi, tie aizgāja, kad Pāvils to vienu vārdu bija sacījis: “Tas Svētais Gars gan labi caur pravieti Jesaju ir runājis uz mūsu tēviem,
So, as they disagreed among themselves, they began to disperse, Paul adding only – ‘True, indeed, was the declaration made by the Holy Spirit, through the prophet Isaiah to your ancestors –
26 Sacīdams: “Noej pie šiem ļaudīm un saki: ar ausīm jūs dzirdēsiet un nesapratīsiet, un redzēdami jūs redzēsiet un nenomanīsiet.
Go to this nation and say: You will hear with your ears without ever understanding, and, though you have eyes, you will see without ever perceiving.
27 Jo šo ļaužu sirds ir tapusi cieta, un ar ausīm tie grūti dzird un snauž ar savām acīm, ka tie ar acīm neredz un ar sirdi nesaprot un neatgriežas, ka Es tos dziedinātu.”
For the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; otherwise some day they might see with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn – and I might heal them.
28 Tad nu jums būs zināt, ka pagāniem Dieva pestīšana ir sūtīta, un tie to dzirdēs.”
Understand, then, that this salvation of God was sent for the Gentiles; and they will listen.’
29 Un kad viņš to bija sacījis, tad tie Jūdi aizgāja, savā starpā daudz apjautādamies.
30 Un Pāvils palika divus gadus savā īpaši īrētā mājas vietā, un visus pieņēma, kas pie viņa nāca,
For two whole years Paul stayed in a house which he rented for himself, welcoming all who came to see him,
31 Dieva valstību sludinādams un par To Kungu Jēzu Kristu mācīdams ar visu drošību bez aizliegšanas.
proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ, with perfect fearlessness, unhindered.
