Acts 25
1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Tad nu Festus, to zemes valdību uzņēmis, gāja pēc trim dienām no Cezarejas uz Jeruzālemi.
2 And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,
Un tur viņam tas augstais priesteris un tie augstākie no tiem Jūdiem sūdzēja pret Pāvilu un viņu lūdza,
3 Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.
Želastības prasīdami pret viņu, ka tas viņu uz Jeruzālemi sūtītu, glūnēdami, ka viņu uz ceļa nokautu.
4 But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
Tad Festus atbildēja, ka Pāvils topot sargāts Cezarejā, un ka viņš pats gribot drīz turp aiziet.
5 Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.
Kas nu jūsu starpā to var (tā viņš sacīja), tie lai līdz noiet un to apsūdz, ja kāda vaina ir pie šā vīra.
6 And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat in the judgment seat; and commanded Paul to be brought.
Un kad viņš pie tiem vairāk kā desmit dienas bija palicis, tad viņš nāca uz Cezareju un otrā dienā, uz soģa krēsla sēdēdams, viņš pavēlēja, Pāvilu atvest.
7 Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove;
Un kad tas bija atnācis, tad tie no Jeruzālemes nākušie Jūdi apkārt stāvēja, daudz un grūtas vainas pret Pāvilu nesdami, ko tie nevarēja pierādīt.
8 Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
Jo tas tā aizbildinājās: “Es neko neesmu grēkojis, ne pret Jūdu bauslību, ne pret Dieva namu, ne pret ķeizaru.”
9 But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
Bet Festus gribēdams tiem Jūdiem pa prātam darīt, atbildēja un uz Pāvilu sacīja: “Vai tu gribi uz Jeruzālemi iet, lai es tevi tur tiesāju par šīm lietām?”
10 Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.
Bet Pāvils sacīja: “Es stāvu priekš ķeizara soģa krēsla, tur man pienākas tapt tiesātam, tiem Jūdiem es nekādu netaisnību neesmu darījis, kā arī tu jo labi zini.
11 For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar.
Bet ja es netaisnību esmu darījis un nāvi kaut kā pelnījis, tad es neliedzos mirt; bet ja tas nav nekas, par ko tie mani apsūdz, tad neviens pēc viņu patikšanas mani viņiem nevar nodot. Es ķeizaru piesaucu.”
12 Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
Tad Festus ar tiem runas kungiem sarunājies atbildēja: “Ķeizaru tu esi piesaucis, pie ķeizara tev būs noiet.”
13 And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Bet kad kādas dienas bija pagājušās, tad ķēniņš Agrippa un Berniķe nāca uz Cezareju, Festu apsveicināt.
14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
Un kad tie kādas dienas tur bija pakavējušies, Festus ķēniņam stāstīja Pāvila lietas sacīdams: “Še ir viens vīrs no Felika atstāts cietumā;
15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
Par to, kad es biju Jeruzālemē, tie augstie priesteri un Jūdu vecaji pienesa sūdzību un lūdza spriedumu pret viņu;
16 To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
Tiem es atbildēju: Romiešiem nav ieradums, kādu cilvēku nodot uz nomaitāšanu, pirms tas, kas apsūdzēts, tos sūdzētājus nav redzējis savā priekšā un nav vaļu dabūjis par to sūdzību aizbildināties.
17 When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
Kad nu tie šeitan bija sanākuši, tad es bez nekādas kavēšanās otrā dienā uz soģa krēsla sēdēdams pavēlēju, to vīru atvest;
18 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
Pret to tie sūdzētāji stāvēdami nekādu lietu nav pienesuši, ko es par ļaunu būtu uzskatījis.
19 But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Bet tiem bija kādas apjautāšanas pret viņu par savu pašu māņu ticību un par kādu Jēzu, kas esot nomiris, par ko Pāvils sacīja, Viņu esam dzīvu.
20 I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
Un šo strīdus lietu labi nesaprazdams, es sacīju: vai tas gribot uz Jeruzālemi iet un tur par šīm lietām likties tiesāties.
21 But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.
Bet kad Pāvils prasīja, lai uz paša ķeizara spriedumu taptu sargāts; tad es pavēlēju to sargāt, tiekams es viņu pie ķeizara sūtīšu.”
22 And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
Un Agrippa sacīja uz Festu: “Es pats arīdzan šo cilvēku gribētu dzirdēt;” un viņš sacīja: “Rīt tu to dzirdēsi.”
23 And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment, Paul was brought forth.
Tad nu otrā dienā, kad Agrippa un Berniķe ar lielu greznību nāca un ar tiem virsniekiem un tās pilsētas augstiem vīriem iegāja tiesas namā, Pāvils pēc Festus pavēles tapa atvests.
24 And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
Un Festus sacīja: “Agrippa ķēniņ un visi jūs vīri, kas klāt esat, jūs šo redzat, par ko visa Jūdu draudze tā Jeruzālemē kā arī šeitan mani ir piesaukusi un brēc, ka tam nebūs vairs dzīvot.
25 Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
Bet es esmu atradis, ka tas neko nav darījis, ar ko nāvi būtu pelnījis; un tādēļ, ka tas pats ķeizaru ir piesaucis, tad es esmu spriedis, viņu sūtīt.
26 Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write.
Bet man par šo nav nekādas skaidrības, ko Tam Kungam lai rakstu. Tādēļ es jums to esmu priekšā vedis un visvairāk tev, ķēniņ Agrippa, lai es pēc notikušas izklausīšanas zinu, kas jāraksta.
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
Jo man šķiet, aplamu lietu esam, vienu saistītu sūtīt un tās vainas pret to neuzrādīt.”
