Apustuļu Darbi 9
1 Bet Sauls vēl draudus un nāvi šņākdams pret Tā Kunga mācekļiem, gāja pie tā augstā priestera
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 Un lūdza no tā grāmatas uz Damasku pie tām Jūdu draudzēm, ja viņš kādus no šīs ticības atrastu, vai vīrus vai sievas, ka viņš tos saistītus vestu uz Jeruzālemi.
and asked him to give him letters to the Jewish congregations at Damascus, authorising him, if he found there any supporters of the Way, whether men or women, to have them put in chains and brought to Jerusalem.
3 Un viņam ejot notikās, ka viņš tuvu pie Damaskus nāca, un tur gaišums no debess viņu piepeši apspīdēja;
While on his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, suddenly a light from the heavens flashed around him.
4 Un viņš krita pie zemes un dzirdēja balsi uz viņu tā sakām: “Saul, Saul, ko tu Mani vajā?”
He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him – ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
5 Un viņš sacīja: “Kungs, kas Tu esi?” Tas Kungs sacīja: “Es esmu Jēzus, ko tu vajā. Tev grūti nāksies pret dzenuli spārdīt.”
‘Who are you, Lord?’ he asked. ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the voice answered;
6 Un tas sacīja trīcēdams un iztrūcies: “Kungs, ko Tu gribi, lai daru?” Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: “Celies un ej pilsētā, un tev sacīs, ko tev būs darīt.”
‘Yet stand up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.’
7 Bet tie vīri, kas bija viņa ceļa biedri, stāvēja iztrūkušies, to balsi gan dzirdēdami, bet neviena neredzēdami
The men traveling with Saul were meanwhile standing speechless; they heard the sound of the voice, but saw no one.
8 Bet Sauls cēlās no zemes un savas acis paceldams neredzēja neviena. Un tie to pie rokas vezdami ieveda Damaskū.
When Saul got up from the ground, though his eyes were open, he could see nothing. So his men led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus;
9 Un trīs dienas tas nevarēja redzēt un ne ēda, ne dzēra.
and for three days he was unable to see, and took nothing either to eat or to drink.
10 Bet viens māceklis bija iekš Damaskus, ar vārdu Ananija, un Tas Kungs caur parādīšanu uz to sacīja: “Ananija!” Un tas sacīja: “Redzi, še es esmu, Kungs.”
Now there was at Damascus a disciple named Ananias, to whom, in a vision, the Lord said, ‘Ananias.’ ‘Yes, Lord,’ he answered.
11 Un Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: “Celies un ej uz to ielu, kas top saukta tā Taisnā, un meklē Jūdas namā to Tarsieti, kam vārds Sauls; jo, redzi, tas Dievu lūdz;
‘Go at once,’ said the Lord, ‘to the Straight Street, and ask at Judas’s house for a man named Saul, from Tarsus. He is at this moment praying,
12 Un tas caur parādīšanu ir redzējis vīru, ar vārdu Ananija, ieejam un tam roku uzliekam, lai tas atkal top redzīgs.”
and he has seen, in a vision, a man named Ananias coming in and placing his hands on him, so that he may recover his sight.’
13 Bet Ananija atbildēja: “Kungs, es no daudziem esmu dzirdējis par šo vīru, cik ļaunuma tas darījis Taviem svētiem Jeruzālemē;
‘Lord,’ exclaimed Ananias, ‘I have heard from many people about this man – how much harm he has done at Jerusalem to your people there.
14 Un šeitan tam ir vara no tiem augstiem priesteriem, visus saistīt, kas Tavu Vārdu piesauc.”
And, here, too, he holds authority from the chief priests to put in chains all those who invoke your name.’
15 Bet Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: “Ej, jo šis Man ir izredzēts ierocis, Manu Vārdu nest pagānu un ķēniņu un Israēla bērnu priekšā.
But the Lord said to him, ‘Go, for this man is my chosen instrument to uphold my name before the Gentiles and their kings, and the people of Israel.
16 Jo Es tam rādīšu, cik daudz tam Mana Vārda dēļ jācieš.”
I will myself show him all that he has to suffer for my name.’
17 Un Ananija nogāja un nāca tanī namā un tam rokas uzlika sacīdams: “Saul, brāli, Tas Kungs mani sūtījis, (Jēzus, kas tev uz tā ceļa, kur tu esi nācis, ir parādījies), lai tu atkal topi redzīgs un piepildīts ar Svēto Garu.”
So Ananias went, entered the house, and, placing his hands on Saul, said, ‘Saul, my brother, I have been sent by the Lord – by Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here – so that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.’
18 Un tūdaļ no viņa acīm nokrita kā zvīņas, un viņš tapa tūdaļ redzīgs, un uzcēlies tapa kristīts,
Instantly it seemed as if a film fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized,
19 Un barību ņēmis viņš atspirga. Un Sauls bija kādas dienas pie tiem mācekļiem iekš Damaskus.
and, after he had taken food, he felt his strength return. Saul stayed for some days with the disciples who were at Damascus,
20 Un tūdaļ tas sludināja baznīcās par Jēzu, ka Viņš Tas Dieva Dēls.
and at once began in the synagogues to proclaim Jesus as the Son of God.
21 Bet visi, kas to dzirdēja, iztrūkās un sacīja: “Vai šis nav tos postījis, kas Jeruzālemē šo Vārdu piesauca? Vai tas nav tāpēc šurp nācis, ka viņus vestu saistītus pie tiem augstiem priesteriem?”
All who heard him were amazed. ‘Is not this,’ they asked, ‘the man who worked havoc in Jerusalem among those that invoke this name, and who had also come here for the express purpose of having such persons put in chains and taken before the chief priests?’
22 Bet Sauls palika jo dienas jo spēcīgs un iztrūcināja tos Jūdu ļaudis, kas Damaskū dzīvoja, un pierādīja, ka Šis Tas Kristus.
Saul’s influence, however, kept steadily increasing, and he confounded the Jewish people who lived in Damascus by the proofs that he gave that Jesus was the Christ.
23 Un kad jau kāds laiks bija pagājis, tad tie Jūdu ļaudis sarunājās viņu nokaut.
After some time some of them laid a plot to kill Saul,
24 Bet viņu nodoms Saulam tapa zināms; un tie vārtus sargāja caurām dienām un naktīm, ka viņu varētu nokaut.
but it became known to him. They even watched the gates day and night, to kill him;
25 Bet tie mācekļi viņu ņēma naktī un kurvī pār mūri nolaida zemē.
but his disciples let him down by night through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Un uz Jeruzālemi nācis Sauls raudzīja tiem mācekļiem piebiedroties; bet visi no tā bijās, neticēdami, viņu esam mācekli.
On his arrival in Jerusalem, Saul attempted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, as they did not believe that he was really a disciple.
27 Bet Barnaba viņu ņēma un veda pie tiem apustuļiem un tiem teica, kā viņš uz ceļa To Kungu redzējis, un ka Tas ar viņu runājis, un kā viņš Damaskū ar drošību runājis Jēzus vārdā.
Barnabas, however, taking him by the hand, brought him to the apostles, and told them the whole story of how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord, and how the Lord had talked to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
28 Un viņš pie tiem bija Jeruzālemē, ieiedams un iziedams un droši sludinādams Tā Kunga Jēzus vārdā.
After that, Saul remained in Jerusalem, in close contact with the apostles; and he spoke fearlessly in the name of the Lord,
29 Un viņš arī runāja un apjautājās ar tiem Grieķiem; bet tie glūnēja viņu nokaut.
talking and arguing with the Jews of foreign birth, who, however, made attempts to kill him.
30 Bet tie brāļi, to nomanīdami, viņu pavadīja uz Cezareju un viņu sūtīja uz Tarsu.
But, when the followers found this out, they took him down to Caesarea, and sent him on his way to Tarsus.
31 Tad nu tai draudzei pa visu Jūdeju un Galileju un Samariju bija miers, un tā auga un staigāja iekš Tā Kunga bijāšanas un vairojās caur Tā Svētā Gara iepriecināšanu.
And so it came about that the church, throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, enjoyed peace and became firmly established; and, ordering its life by respect for the Lord and the help of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.
32 Un notikās, ka Pēteris visur pārstaigājot arī nonāca pie tiem svētiem, kas Liddā dzīvoja.
Peter, while traveling from place to place throughout the country, went down to visit the people of Christ living at Lydda.
33 Un tur tas atrada vienu cilvēku, ar vārdu Eneas, astoņus gadus uz gultas gulošu, - šis bija melmeņu sērdzīgs.
There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years with paralysis.
34 Un Pēteris uz to sacīja: “Enea, lai Jēzus, Tas Kristus, tevi dara veselu; celies un taisi pats sev gultu!” Un tas tūdaļ cēlās.
‘Aeneas,’ Peter said to him, ‘Jesus Christ cures you. Get up, and make your bed.’ Aeneas got up at once;
35 Un to visi redzēja, kas Liddā un Šaronā dzīvoja, un tie atgriezās pie Tā Kunga.
and all the inhabitants of Lydda and of the Plain of Sharon saw him, and came over to the Lord’s side.
36 Un Joppē bija kāda mācekle, ar vārdu Tabita, tas ir tulkots: stirna; šī bija labu darbu darītāja un nabagu apdāvinātāja.
At Joppa there lived a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which is in Greek “Dorcas” – a Gazelle. Her life was spent in doing kind and charitable actions.
37 Un notikās tanīs dienās, ka viņa palika slima un nomira, un tie to mazgājuši nolika augšistabā.
Just at that time she was taken ill, and died; and they had washed her body and laid it out in an upstairs room.
38 Bet kad nu Lidda tuvu pie Joppes ir, tad tie mācekļi dzirdēdami, Pēteri tur esam, sūtīja divus vīrus pie tā, lūgdami, ka tas nekavētos, pie tiem noiet.
Joppa was near Lydda, and the disciples, having heard that Peter was at Lydda, sent two men with the request that he come to them without delay.
39 Un Pēteris cēlās un gāja tiem līdz. Un kad viņš bija atnācis, tad viņu uzveda tai augšistabā; un pie tās stāvēja visas atraitnes, raudādamas un rādīdamas tos svārkus un tās drēbes, ko tā Stirna, pie tiem būdama, bija taisījusi.
Peter returned with them at once. On his arrival, he was taken upstairs, and all the widows came round him in tears, showing the coats and other clothing which Dorcas had made while she was among them.
40 Un Pēteris, visus izdzinis, metās ceļos un Dievu lūdza, un pie tās mirušās atgriezdamies sacīja: “Tabita, celies augšām.” Un tā savas acis atvēra un Pēteri redzējusi cēlās sēdu.
But Peter sent everybody out of the room, and knelt down and prayed. Then, turning to the body, he said, ‘Tabitha! Stand up.’ She opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, sat up.
41 Un viņš tai roku deva un to pacēla, un, tos svētos un tās atraitnes aicinājis, viņu dzīvu tiem veda priekšā.
Giving her his hand, Peter raised her up, and, calling in the widows and others of Christ’s people, presented her to them alive.
42 Un tas tapa zināms pa visu Joppi un daudzi ticēja uz To Kungu.
This became known all through Joppa, and numbers of people came to believe in the Lord.
43 Un notikās, ka viņš daudz dienas Joppē palika pie viena ādmiņa, ar vārdu Sīmanis.
And Peter stayed some days at Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
