Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Tad nu Festus, to zemes valdību uzņēmis, gāja pēc trim dienām no Cezarejas uz Jeruzālemi.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him,
Un tur viņam tas augstais priesteris un tie augstākie no tiem Jūdiem sūdzēja pret Pāvilu un viņu lūdza,
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.
Želastības prasīdami pret viņu, ka tas viņu uz Jeruzālemi sūtītu, glūnēdami, ka viņu uz ceļa nokautu.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Tad Festus atbildēja, ka Pāvils topot sargāts Cezarejā, un ka viņš pats gribot drīz turp aiziet.
5 "Let them therefore," he said, "that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him."
Kas nu jūsu starpā to var (tā viņš sacīja), tie lai līdz noiet un to apsūdz, ja kāda vaina ir pie šā vīra.
6 When he had stayed among them more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on 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 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges 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 while he said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all."
Jo tas tā aizbildinājās: “Es neko neesmu grēkojis, ne pret Jūdu bauslību, ne pret Dieva namu, ne pret ķeizaru.”
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"
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 But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
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 done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up 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, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go."
Tad Festus ar tiem runas kungiem sarunājies atbildēja: “Ķeizaru tu esi piesaucis, pie ķeizara tev būs noiet.”
13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.
Bet kad kādas dienas bija pagājušās, tad ķēniņš Agrippa un Berniķe nāca uz Cezareju, Festu apsveicināt.
14 As they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a certain man left a 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 Jewish elders informed me, asking for a sentence 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 that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up anyone before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense against the 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 had come together here, I did not delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and 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 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;
Pret to tie sūdzētāji stāvēdami nekādu lietu nav pienesuši, ko es par ļaunu būtu uzskatījis.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, 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 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Un šo strīdus lietu labi nesaprazdams, es sacīju: vai tas gribot uz Jeruzālemi iet un tur par šīm lietām likties tiesāties.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could 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 Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you will hear him."
Un Agrippa sacīja uz Festu: “Es pats arīdzan šo cilvēku gribētu dzirdēt;” un viņš sacīja: “Rīt tu to dzirdēsi.”
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
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 said, "King Agrippa, and all people who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying 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 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor I 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 no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination, I may have something 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 seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
Jo man šķiet, aplamu lietu esam, vienu saistītu sūtīt un tās vainas pret to neuzrādīt.”
