Apustuļu Darbi 1
1 Tos pirmos stāstus es gan esmu stāstījis par visu, mans Teofil, ko Jēzus ir iesācis darīt un mācīt,
The first account which I drew up, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught from the very first,
2 Līdz tai dienai, kad Viņš tapa uzņemts un tiem apustuļiem, ko Viņš izredzējis, pavēles bija devis caur Svēto Garu.
down to that day on which he was taken up to heaven, after he had, by the help of the Holy Spirit, given instructions to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 Tiem Viņš arīdzan pēc Savas ciešanas caur daudz skaidrām zīmēm Pats dzīvs bija parādījies, no tiem četrdesmit dienas redzēts un uz tiem runādams par Dieva valstības lietām.
With abundant proofs, he showed himself to them, still living, after his death; appearing to them from time to time during forty days, and speaking of all that related to the kingdom of God.
4 Un kad Viņš tos bija sapulcinājis, tad Viņš tiem pavēlēja, neatstāties no Jeruzālemes, bet gaidīt uz Tā Tēva apsolīšanu, ko jūs no manis esat dzirdējuši (tā Viņš sacīja);
And once, when he had gathered them together, he charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the fulfilment of the Father’s promise – ‘that promise,’ he said, ‘of which you have heard me speak;
5 Jo Jānis gan ir kristījis ar ūdeni, bet jūs tapsiet kristīti ar Svēto Garu ne ilgi pēc šīm dienām.
for, while John baptized with water, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit before many days have passed.’
6 Tad nu tie, kas bija kopā nākuši, Viņam vaicāja sacīdami: “Kungs, vai Tu šinī laikā atkal uzcelsi Israēla valstību?”
So, when the apostles had met together, they asked Jesus this question – ‘Master, is this the time when you intend to re-establish the kingdom for Israel?’
7 Bet Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Jums nepieklājās zināt tos laikus jeb brīžus, ko Tas Tēvs Savā paša varā nolicis.
His answer was, ‘It is not for you to know times or hours, for the Father has reserved these for his own decision;
8 Bet jūs dabūsiet spēku, kad Tas Svētais Gars pār jums būs nācis, un būsiet Mani liecinieki tā Jeruzālemē, kā arī visā Jūdu zemē un Samarijā un līdz pat pasaules galam.”
but you will receive power, when the Holy Spirit will have descended on you, and will be witnesses for me not only in Jerusalem, but throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’
9 Un to sacījis, Viņš tiem redzot tapa uzcelts, un viens padebesis To uzņēma no viņu acīm.
No sooner had Jesus said this than he was caught up before their eyes, and a cloud received him from their sight.
10 Un kad tie skatījās uz debesīm, Viņam uzkāpjot, redzi, tad divi vīri pie tiem stāvēja baltās drēbēs,
While they were still gazing up into the heavens, as he went, suddenly two men, clothed in white, stood beside them,
11 Un sacīja: “Jūs Galileju vīri, ko jūs stāvat skatīdamies uz debesīm! Šis Jēzus, kas ir uzņemts no jums uz debesīm, tāpat nāks, kā jūs viņu esat redzējuši debesīs uzkāpjam.”
and said, ‘People of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the heavens? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into the heavens, will come in the same way in which you have seen him go into the heavens.’
12 Tad tie griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi no tā kalna, kas top saukts Eļļas kalns, kas ir tuvu pie Jeruzālemes vienu svētdienas gājumu.
Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is about three quarters of a mile from the city.
13 Un tur nonākuši tie uzkāpa augšistabā; tur bija sapulcēti Pēteris un Jēkabs, un Jānis un Andrejs, Filips un Toms, Bērtulis un Matejs, Jēkabs, Alfeja dēls, un Sīmanis Zelotes un Jūda, Jēkaba brālis.
When they reached Jerusalem, they went to the upstairs room, where they were staying. There were there Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Šie visi vienprātīgi pastāvēja iekš lūgšanas un pielūgšanas līdz ar tām sievām un ar Viņa brāļiem.
They all united in devoting themselves to prayer, and so did some women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 Un tanīs dienās Pēteris cēlās starp tiem mācekļiem un sacīja, (un tur bija kopā līdz simts divdesmit dvēselēm):
About this time, at a meeting of the Lord’s followers, when there were about a hundred and twenty present, Peter rose to speak.
16 “Vīri, brāļi, tiem rakstiem bija tapt piepildītiem, ko Tas Svētais Gars ir papriekš sacījis caur Dāvida muti par Jūdasu, kas bija ceļa vadonis tiem, kas Jēzu saņēma.
‘Friends,’ he said, ‘it was necessary that the prediction of scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit made by the lips of David about Judas, who acted as guide to the men who arrested Jesus,
17 Jo tas bija pieskaitīts pie mums un līdz ar mums dabūjis šo pašu kalpošanas amatu.
for he was one of our number and had his part allotted him in this work of ours.’
18 Tad nu šis tīrumu ir mantojis no tās netaisnās algas, un uz vaigu nokritis, tas vidū uz pusēm sprādzis un visas viņa iekšas ir izgāzušās.
(This man had bought a piece of land with the price of his treachery; and, falling heavily, his body had burst open, and all his bowels protruded.
19 Un tas visiem, kas Jeruzālemē dzīvo, ir tapis zināms, kā arī tas tīrums viņu valodā ir nosaukts: Aķeldama, tas ir asins tīrums.
This became known to everyone living in Jerusalem, so that the field came to be called, in their language, “Akeldama,” which means the “Field of Blood.”)
20 Jo Dāvida dziesmu grāmatā ir rakstīts: viņu māja lai paliek par postažu, un lai neviens tur nedzīvo, un lai cits dabū viņa uzrauga amatu.
‘For in the book of Psalms,’ Peter continued, ‘it is said – “Let his home become desolate, and let no one live in it”; and also – “His office let another take.”
21 Tāpēc nu pieklājās, ka no tiem vīriem, kas ar mums kopā bijuši pa visu to laiku, kad Tas Kungs Jēzus pie mums ir iegājis un izgājis,
Therefore, from among the men who have been with us all the time that Jesus, our Master, went in and out among us –
22 Iesākot no Jāņa kristības līdz tai dienai, kad Viņš no mums ir uzņemts debesīs, ka viens no šiem top par Viņa augšāmcelšanās liecinieku līdz ar mums.”
from his baptism by John down to that day on which he was taken from us – someone must be found to join us as a witness of his resurrection.’
23 Un tie stādīja divus priekšā, Jāzepu, kas top saukts Barsaba, ar pavārdu Justs, un Mattīsu.
So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias;
24 Un Dievu pielūguši tie sacīja: “Kungs, Tu visu siržu manītājs, rādi no šiem diviem vienu, ko Tu izredzējis,
and they offered this prayer – ‘Lord, who reads all hearts, show which of these two men you have chosen
25 Kas var dalību dabūt pie šās kalpošanas un pie šī apustuļu amata, no kā Jūdas ir atstājies, noiedams savā vietā.”
to take the place in this apostolic work, which Judas has abandoned, to go to his proper place.’
26 Un tie meslojās, un mesli krita uz Mattīsu, un tas tiem vienpadsmit tapa pieskaitīts.
Then they drew lots between them; and, the lot having fallen to Matthias, he was added to the number of the eleven apostles.
