Acts 22
1 Men, brothers, and fathers, hear you my defense which I make now to you.
“Vīri, brāļi un tēvi, klausiet tagad manu aizbildināšanos jūsu priekšā.
2 (And when they heard that he spoke in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he says, )
(Bet kad tie dzirdēja, viņu Ebreju valodā tos uzrunājam, tad tie palika vēl klusāki. Un viņš sacīja: )
3 I am truly a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as you all are this day.
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 And 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 does bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound to Jerusalem, for 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 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come near to Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
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 And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me?
Un es kritu pie zemes un dzirdēju balsi uz mani sakām: “Saul, Saul, ko tu Mani vajā?”
8 And I answered, Who are you, Lord? And 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 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that 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 And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said to me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told you of 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 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that 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 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelled there,
Bet Ananija, dievbijīgs vīrs pēc bauslības, kam laba slava bija no visiem apkārtējiem Jūdiem,
13 Came to me, and stood, and said to me, Brother Saul, receive your sight. And the same hour I looked up on him.
Tas pie manis nācis un piestājies sacīja uz mani: “Saul, brāli, skaties uz augšu.” Un es tanī pašā stundā uz viņu skatījos.
14 And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen you, that you should know his will, and see that Just One, and should hear the voice of 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 shall be his witness 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 And now why tarry you? arise, and 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 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in 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, Make haste, and get you quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive your testimony concerning me.
Un es Viņu redzēju, un Tas man sacīja: “Steidzies un izej čakli no Jeruzālemes, jo tie nepieņems tavu liecību par Mani.”
19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on you:
Un es sacīju: “Kungs, tie zina, ka es Tavus ticīgos cietumā iemetu un pa baznīcām šaustu,
20 And when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting to his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew 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 And he said to me, Depart: for I will send you far hence to the Gentiles.
Un Viņš uz mani sacīja: “Ej! Jo Es tevi izsūtīšu tālu pie pagāniem.””
22 And they gave him audience to this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should 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 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
Un kad tie brēca un savas drēbes nosvieda un pīšļus gaisā meta,
24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know why they cried so against him.
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 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to whip a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
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 that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what you 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 Then the chief captain came, and said to 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 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
Un tas virsnieks atbildēja: “Es par lielu maksu šo pilsētnieka tiesu esmu iedabūjis.” Bet Pāvils sacīja: “Bet es tāds jau esmu piedzimis.”
29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and 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 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty why he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, 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.
