Acts 22
1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
“Vīri, brāļi un tēvi, klausiet tagad manu aizbildināšanos jūsu priekšā.
2 When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
(Bet kad tie dzirdēja, viņu Ebreju valodā tos uzrunājam, tad tie palika vēl klusāki. Un viņš sacīja: )
3 “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.
Es esmu Jūdu vīrs, Tarsū, Ķiliķijas zemē, piedzimis, bet šinī pilsētā pie Gamaliēla kājām audzināts, tēvu bauslībā krietni izmācīts, karsts Dieva bauslības aizstāvētājs, tā kā jūs visi šodien esat.
4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
Un šim ceļam es esmu pretī turējies līdz nāvei, saistīdams un cietumā nododams vīrus un sievas.
5 as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
Tā kā arī tas augstais priesteris un viss tas vecaju pulks man liecību dod, no kuriem es arī grāmatas uz tiem brāļiem ņēmis, esmu gājis uz Damasku, arī tos, kas tur, saistītus vest uz Jeruzālemi, ka tie taptu mocīti.
6 “As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.
Un notikās, kad es biju uz ceļa un tuvu nācu pie Damaskus ap pusdienas laiku, tad piepeši liels gaišums no debess mani apspīdēja visapkārt.
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
Un es kritu pie zemes un dzirdēju balsi uz mani sakām: “Saul, Saul, ko tu Mani vajā?”
8 I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
Bet es atbildēju: “Kas Tu esi, Kungs?” Un Viņš uz mani sacīja: “Es esmu Jēzus no Nacaretes, ko tu vajā.”
9 “Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
Bet tie, kas man bija līdz, gan redzēja to gaišumu un pārbijās, bet to balsi, kas ar mani runāja, to tie nedzirdēja.
10 I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’
Un es sacīju: “Ko man būs darīt, Kungs?” Un Tas Kungs uz mani sacīja: “Celies un ej uz Damasku, un tur tev sacīs visu, kas tev jādara.”
11 When I couldn’t see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
Un kad nevarēju redzēt tā spožā gaišuma dēļ tad es no saviem ceļabiedriem pie rokas vests nācu uz Damasku.
12 “One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
Bet Ananija, dievbijīgs vīrs pēc bauslības, kam laba slava bija no visiem apkārtējiem Jūdiem,
13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.
Tas pie manis nācis un piestājies sacīja uz mani: “Saul, brāli, skaties uz augšu.” Un es tanī pašā stundā uz viņu skatījos.
14 He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
Un viņš sacīja: “Mūsu tēvu Dievs tevi izvēlējis, Viņa prātu atzīt un To Taisno redzēt un balsi no Viņa mutes dzirdēt.
15 For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
Jo tu Viņam būsi par liecinieku pie visiem cilvēkiem par to, ko tu esi redzējis un dzirdējis.
16 Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
Un nu, ko tu gaidi? Celies un liecies kristīties un liec nomazgāt savus grēkus, Tā Kunga vārdu piesaukdams.”
17 “When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance
Un notikās, kad es uz Jeruzālemi biju atpakaļ griezies un Dieva namā Dievu pielūdzu, tad garā tapu aizgrābts,
18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
Un es Viņu redzēju, un Tas man sacīja: “Steidzies un izej čakli no Jeruzālemes, jo tie nepieņems tavu liecību par Mani.”
19 I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
Un es sacīju: “Kungs, tie zina, ka es Tavus ticīgos cietumā iemetu un pa baznīcām šaustu,
20 When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’
Un kad Stefana, Tava liecinieka asinis tapa izlietas, ka es tur arī stāvēju klāt, un tas man patika, un es tās drēbes tiem glabāju, kas viņu nonāvēja.”
21 “He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”
Un Viņš uz mani sacīja: “Ej! Jo Es tevi izsūtīšu tālu pie pagāniem.””
22 They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”
Un tie viņu klausījās līdz šiem vārdiem un savas balsis pacēla, sacīdami: “Nost no zemes virsas ar šo tādu, jo tam nebūs dzīvot.”
23 As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
Un kad tie brēca un savas drēbes nosvieda un pīšļus gaisā meta,
24 the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.
Tad tas virsnieks pavēlēja, viņu novest uz lēģeri, un sacīja, lai viņu ar sitieniem izvaicā, ka dabūtu zināt, kādēļ tie tā par viņu brēca.
25 When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”
Un kad viņu ar siksnām piesēja, tad Pāvils sacīja uz to kapteini, kas tur stāvēja: “Vai jums brīv, vienu Romieti un vēl bez tiesas šaust?”
26 When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”
Un tas kapteinis to dzirdējis gāja un tam virsniekam to teica sacīdams: “Ko tu gribi darīt? Jo šis cilvēks ir Romietis.”
27 The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
Tad tas virsnieks piegāja un uz viņu sacīja: “Saki man, vai tu esi Romietis?” Un tas sacīja: “Esmu gan.”
28 The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”
Un tas virsnieks atbildēja: “Es par lielu maksu šo pilsētnieka tiesu esmu iedabūjis.” Bet Pāvils sacīja: “Bet es tāds jau esmu piedzimis.”
29 Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
Un tūdaļ tie no viņa atkāpās, kas viņu gribēja izvaicāt. Un tas virsnieks bijās, ka dabūjis zināt, viņu esam Romieti, un ka viņu bija sējis.
30 But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
Bet kad otrā dienā to gribēja skaidri zināt, kādēļ viņš no tiem Jūdiem apsūdzēts, tad viņš to atraisīja un pavēlēja, ka tie augstie priesteri un visa viņu augstā tiesa nāktu kopā, un Pāvilu novedis, viņš tiem to stādīja priekšā.
