Acts 24
1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
Un pēc piecām dienām tas augstais priesteris Ananija nonāca ar tiem vecajiem un ar kādu runātāju Tertullu; šie pie tā zemes valdītāja savu sūdzību pret Pāvilu pienesa.
2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that by your foresight reforms are coming to this nation,
Un kad viņš tapa saukts, Tertullus iesāka viņu apsūdzēt sacīdams:
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
“Ka mēs caur tevi lielu mieru esam dabūjuši, un ka caur tavu uzraudzību daudz teicamas lietas šai tautai notiek, to mēs, viscienīgais Feliks, visādi un visās malās ar visu pateikšanu saņemam.
4 But, that I do not delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
Bet lai es tevi pārāk ilgi nekavēju, lūdzos, ka tu pēc tavas laipnības kādus īsus vārdus no mums klausītos.
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Jo mēs esam atraduši, ka šis vīrs ir mēris un trokšņa cēlējs starp visiem Jūdiem visā pasaulē un ka viņš ir tās Nacareju draudzes priekšnieks,
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. And we would have judged him according to our law,
Kas arī apņēmies, Dieva namu apgānīt; to mēs tad arī esam grābuši un pēc savas bauslības gribējuši tiesāt.
7 but the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
Bet Lizijs, tas virsnieks, pienācis klāt, viņu ar lielu varu no mūsu rokām ir aizvedis.
8 commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."
Un viņa sūdzētājiem pavēlējis, pie tevis nākt; no tā tu pats visas lietas izklausinādams vari noprast, par ko mēs viņu apsūdzam.”
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
Bet tie Jūdi arīdzan runāja līdz, sacīdami, ka tas tā esot.
10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, "Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
Bet Pāvils, kad tas zemes valdītājs viņam ar roku bija metis, lai runā, atbildēja: “Tāpēc ka es zinu, tevi jau daudz gadus esam ieceltu par soģi pār šo tautu, tad es jo droši savu lietu aizbildināšu.
11 seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
Tu vari dabūt zināt, ka nav vairāk nekā divpadsmit dienas, kamēr es uz Jeruzālemi esmu nācis, Dievu lūgt.
12 In the temple they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.
Un tie mani nav atraduši nedz Dieva namā uz kādu runājam, nedz baznīcās, nedz pilsētā troksni ceļam.
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
Tie arī nevar pierādīt, par ko tie tagad mani apsūdz.
14 But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the Law, and which are written in the Prophets;
Bet to es tev droši saku, ka es savu tēvu Dievam kalpoju pēc tā ceļa, ko tie sauc par atkāpēju ticību, ticēdams visu, kas bauslībā un praviešos rakstīts;
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection, both of the just and unjust.
Un man ir uz Dievu tā cerība, uz ko šie arīdzan gaida, ka miroņi augšāmcelsies, gan taisniem, gan netaisniem.
16 This being so, I also do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and people.
Un tāpēc es pats dzenos, vienmēr paturēt bezvainīgu zināmu sirdi Dieva un cilvēku priekšā.
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
Bet pēc kādiem gadiem es esmu nācis, mīlestības dāvanas savai tautai dot un upurus.
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
Pie tam, kad es Dieva namā šķīstījos, kādi Jūdi no Āzijas mani atrada, bez drūzmas un bez trokšņa.
19 They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.
Tiem būtu pienācies tavā priekšā būt un sūdzēt, ja tiem kas būtu pret mani.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
Jeb lai šie paši saka, kādu netaisnību tie pie manis ir atraduši, kad es stāvēju augstās tiesas priekšā?
21 unless it is for this one thing that I shouted out standing among them, 'Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today.'"
Ja ne šā vienīga vārda dēļ, ka es priekš tiem stāvēdams saucu: miroņu augšāmcelšanās dēļ es šodien no jums topu tiesāts.”
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, "When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case."
Un kad Feliks to dzirdēja, tad viņš to spriedumu pavilcināja, šo mācību jo labi zinādams, un sacīja: “Kad Lizijs, tas virsnieks, atnāks, tad es jūsu lietu izklausināšu.”
23 He ordered the centurion that he should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
Un viņš tam kapteinim pavēlēja, Pāvilu sargāt un viņam atvieglošanu vēlēt un nevienam no viņa piederīgiem neliegt, viņam kalpot un pie viņa nākt.
24 But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was Jewish, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
Un pēc kādām dienām Feliks atnāca ar Druzillu, savu sievu, kas bija no Jūdu cilts, un sūtīja pēc Pāvila un klausījās viņa mācību par ticību uz Kristu.
25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, "Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you."
Un kad viņš runāja par taisnību un šķīstību un nākamo sodību, tad Feliks pārbijās un atbildēja: “Šo reiz tu vari iet; kad man atkal būs vaļas, tad es tevi aicināšu.”
26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.
Bet tas turklāt arī cerēja, ka tam nauda no Pāvila taps dota, lai viņu atlaistu. Tādēļ tas arī dažreiz pēc viņa sūtīja un ar viņu runāja.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Un kad divi gadi bija pagājuši, tad Porcius Festus nāca Felika vietā, un Feliks gribēdams tiem Jūdiem ko pa prātam darīt, Pāvilu pameta cietumā.
