Apustuļu Darbi 15
1 Un kādi no Jūdu zemes nākuši mācīja tos brāļus: ja jūs netopat apgraizīti pēc Mozus bauslības, tad jūs nevarat tapt pestīti.
Then some men arrived from Judea who started teaching the believers, “Unless you're circumcised according to the rules set down by Moses, you can't be saved.”
2 Kad nu Pāvilam un Barnabam liela šķelšanās un apjautāšanās ar viņiem cēlās, tad nosprieda, lai Pāvils un Barnaba un vēl citi kādi no tiem ietu pie tiem apustuļiem un vecajiem uz Jeruzālemi šās jautāšanas dēļ.
Paul and Barnabas had many arguments and debates with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some others were appointed to go to Jerusalem and talk to the apostles and leaders there about this issue.
3 Tad nu no tās draudzes pavadīti tie gāja caur Feniķiju un Samariju; un par pagānu atgriešanos stāstīdami, tie visiem brāļiem darīja lielu prieku.
The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they explained how foreigners were being converted, which made all the believers very happy.
4 Un uz Jeruzālemi nākuši, tie tapa uzņemti no tās draudzes un tiem apustuļiem un tiem vecajiem, un pasludināja, kādas lietas Dievs ar tiem bija darījis.
When they arrived in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church members, the apostles, and the elders. They explained everything God had done through them.
5 Bet no tās farizeju šķiras kādi cēlās, kas bija tapuši ticīgi, sacīdami: “Tos būs apgraizīt un tiem būs pavēlēt, Mozus bauslību turēt.”
But they were opposed by some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee faction. They said, “These converts have to be circumcised, and instructed to observe the law of Moses.”
6 Un tie apustuļi un vecaji sapulcējās, spriest par šo vārdu.
The apostles and elders met together to discuss the issue.
7 Bet kad daudz apjautāšanās notika, tad Pēteris cēlās un uz tiem sacīja: “Vīri, brāļi, jūs zināt, ka Dievs pagājušos laikos mūsu starpā ir izvēlējis, ka caur manu muti pagāni evaņģēliju dzirdētu un ticētu.
After much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that some time ago God chose me from among you so that the foreigners could hear the message of good news and trust in Jesus.
8 Un Dievs, tas siržu manītājs, tiem liecību ir devis, tā Svēto Garu tiem dodams, tā kā mums.
God, who knows thewhat we're thinking, has shown that he accepts them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us.
9 Un nekādu starpību nav darījis starp mums un viņiem, viņu sirdis šķīstīdams caur ticību.
He doesn't make any distinction between us and them—he cleansed their thoughts as they trusted in him.
10 Tad nu ko jūs Dievu kārdināt, uz mācekļu kaklu likdami jūgu, ko nedz mūsu tēvi, nedz mēs nespējam panest?
So why do you want to oppose God and put a burden on the believers that our fathers weren't able to bear, and we can't either?
11 Bet caur Tā Kunga Jēzus Kristus žēlastību mēs ticam tapt izglābti, tā kā arī viņi.”
We're convinced that we're saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way they are.”
12 Un viss tas pulks cieta klusu un klausījās, kā Barnaba un Pāvils stāstīja, kādas zīmes un brīnumus Dievs caur viņiem bija darījis pie pagāniem.
Everyone listened attentively to Barnabas and Paul as they explained the miraculous signs that God had performed through them among the foreigners.
13 Un kad šie beidza runāt, tad Jēkabs atbildēja sacīdams: “Vīri, brāļi, klausiet mani.
After they had finished speaking, James spoke up, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.
14 Sīmanis ir stāstījis, kā Dievam pirmoreiz paticis no pagāniem ļaudis pieņemt pie Sava vārda;
Simon has described how God first revealed his concern for the foreigners by taking from them a people committed to him.
15 Un ar to praviešu vārdi saskan, kā ir rakstīts:
This is in accordance with the words of the prophets, as it's written,
16 “Pēc tam Es atgriezīšos un atkal uzcelšu Dāvida sagruvušo dzīvokli, un kas pie tā izlauzts, to Es atkal uztaisīšu un uzcelšu;
‘In the future I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen house of David; I will rebuild its ruins and set it straight.
17 Lai tie atlikušie cilvēki To Kungu meklē, arī visi pagāni, pār kuriem Mans vārds ir piesaukts, - tā saka Tas Kungs, kas to visu dara.”
I will do this so that those who are left may come to the Lord, including the foreigners who call on my name.
This is what the Lord says, who revealed these things long ago.’ (aiōn g165)
19 Tāpēc es spriežu, ka tos nebūs apgrūtināt, kas no pagāniem pie Dieva atgriežas.
So my decision is that we shouldn't make it difficult for foreigners who turn to God.
20 Bet ka tiem būs rakstīt, lai sargās, ka neapgānās ar elka dieviem un maucību un nožņaugto un asinīm.
We should write to them and tell them to avoid food sacrificed to idols, sexual immorality, meat of animals that have been strangled, and from consuming blood.
21 Jo Mozum ir no veciem laikiem pa visām pilsētām savi sludinātāji, un viņš ik svētdienas top lasīts baznīcās.”
For the law of Moses has been taught in every town for a long, long time—it's read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22 Tad tiem apustuļiem un vecajiem un visai draudzei patika, no viņiem izvēlētus vīrus ar Pāvilu un Barnabu uz Antioķiju sūtīt: Jūdu, ar pavārdu Barsaba, un Sīlāsu, vīrus, kas bija augstā godā pie tiem brāļiem,
Then the apostles and elders, together with the whole church, decided it would be good to choose some representatives and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, leaders among the brothers,
23 Un caur viņu rokām tā rakstīt: “Tie apustuļi un tie vecaji un tie brāļi prieku vēlē tiem brāļiem, kas pagāni bijuši un ir Antioķijā un Sīrijā un Ķiliķijā.
and sent them with this letter: “Greetings from us, the apostles and elders and brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
24 Kad mēs esam dzirdējuši, ka kādi no mums izgājuši, jūs ar vārdiem sajaukt un jūsu dvēseles darīt šaubīgas, sacīdami, ka jums būs likties apgraizīties un bauslību turēt, kuriem mēs to neesam pavēlējuši,
We have heard that some from our group have confused you with their teachings, causing you trouble. We certainly didn't tell them to do this!
25 Tad mēs vienis prātis palikuši nospriedām, izvēlētus vīrus pie jums sūtīt ar Barnabu un Pāvilu, mūsu mīļiem,
So we have agreed to choose some representatives and send them to you together with our much-loved brothers Barnabas and Paul,
26 Kas savas dvēseles ir nodevuši par mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus vārdu.
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Tad mēs Jūdu un Sīlasu esam sūtījuši, kas to pašu arī ar vārdiem pasacīs.
So we are sending to you Judas and Silas who can verbally confirm what we're saying.
28 Jo tam Svētam Garam un mums ir paticis, jums nekādu nastu vairāk neuzlikt, kā vien šīs vajadzīgas lietas:
It seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any heavier burden than these important requirements.
29 Ka jums būs sargāties no elkadievu upuriem un no asinīm un no nožņaugtā un no maucības; kad jūs no šīm lietām sargāsities, tad jūs labi darīsiet. Dzīvojiet veseli.”
You should avoid: anything sacrificed to idols; blood; meat from strangled animals; and sexual immorality. You will do well to observe these requirements. God bless you.”
30 Tad nu tie tapa atlaisti un nāca uz Antioķiju, un to draudzi sapulcējuši, iedeva to grāmatu.
The men were sent on their way to Antioch. When they arrived they called everybody together and delivered the letter.
31 Un to lasījuši šie priecājās par to iepriecināšanu.
After they had read it, the people were so happy for the encouraging message.
32 Bet Jūda un Sīlas, kas paši arīdzan bija pravieši, tos brāļus pamācīja ar daudz vārdiem un tos stiprināja.
Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, encouraged the brothers, explaining many things, and strengthening them.
33 Un kādu laiku tur palikuši, tie no tiem brāļiem ar mieru tapa atlaisti pie tiem apustuļiem.
After spending some time there they were sent back by the brothers with their blessing to the believers in Jerusalem.
34 (Un Sīlasam patika tur palikt.)
35 Bet Pāvils un Barnaba palika Antioķijā, ar daudz citiem mācīdami un Tā Kunga vārdu sludinādami.
But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of God along with many others.
36 Un pēc kādām dienām Pāvils sacīja uz Barnabu: “Iesim atkal un pa visām pilsētām, kur Tā Kunga vārdu esam sludinājuši, apraudzīsim savus brāļus, kā tiem klājas.”
Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the believers in every town where we shared the word of the Lord, and see how they're doing.”
37 Un Barnaba deva to padomu, Jāni, kas top saukts Marks, ņemt līdz.
Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.
38 Bet Pāvils negribēja tādu līdz ņemt, kas no viņiem bija atkāpies Pamfilijā un ar viņiem nebija līdz gājis pie darba.
But Paul didn't think it was a good idea to take him with them, since he'd left them in Pamphylia and hadn't continued working with them.
39 Par to notika sariebšanās, tā ka tie viens no otra šķīrās, un ka Barnaba ņēma līdz Marku un pārcēlās uz Kipru.
They had such a strong disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to Cyprus.
40 Bet Pāvils Sīlasu izvēlējies izgāja, Dieva žēlastībai no tiem brāļiem pavēlēts.
Paul chose Silas, and as they left, the believers committed them to the grace of the Lord.
41 Un viņš pārstaigāja Sīriju un Ķiliķiju, tās draudzes stiprinādams.
Paul traveled through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the churches there.
