Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, passing through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples;
Un kamēr Apollus Korintū bija, notikās, ka Pāvils, tās augšzemes vietas pārstaigājis, nāca uz Efesu, un kādus mācekļus atradis,
2 and he said unto them—Holy Spirit, received ye, when ye believed? And they said unto him—Nay! not even whether there is Holy Spirit, did we hear.
Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Vai jūs Svēto Garu esat dabūjuši, kad jūs tapāt ticīgi?” Bet tie uz viņu sacīja: “Mēs neesam ne dzirdējuši, ka Svēts Gars ir.”
3 And he said—Into what, then, were ye immersed? And, they, said—Unto John’s immersion.
Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Uz ko tad jūs esat kristīti?” Un tie sacīja: “Uz Jāņa kristību.”
4 Then said Paul—John, immersed with an immersion of repentance, unto the people, saying, that, on him who was coming after him, they should believe, —that is, on Jesus.
Bet Pāvils sacīja: “Jānis ir kristījis ar to kristību uz atgriešanos no grēkiem, tiem ļaudīm sacīdams, lai tic uz To, kas nākšot pēc viņa, tas ir, uz Kristu Jēzu.”
5 And, when they heard [this], they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus;
Un to dzirdējuši tie tapa kristīti uz Tā Kunga Jēzus vārdu.
6 and, Paul laying hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
Un kad Pāvils tiem rokas uzlika, tad Svētais Gars uz tiem nāca, un tie runāja valodām un sludināja praviešu mācības.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Un visi tie vīri bija kādi divpadsmit.
8 And, entering into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
Bet viņš baznīcā iegājis, droši mācīja kādus trīs mēnešus, sarunādamies un tos pārliecinādams par Dieva valstības lietām.
9 But, when some were hardening themselves, and refusing to be persuaded, speaking evil of the Way before the throng, withdrawing from them, he separated the disciples; day by day, reasoning in the school of Tyrannus.
Un kad citi bija apcietināti un nepaklausīgi un par šo ceļu ļaužu priekšā nelabi runāja, tad viņš no tiem atstājās un atšķīra tos mācekļus, ikdienas sarunādamies kādā Tiranna skolā.
10 And, this, took place for two years, so that, all who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Un tā tas gāja divus gadus, tā ka visi, kas Āzijā dzīvoja, Tā Kunga Jēzus vārdu dzirdēja, gan Jūdi, gan Grieķi.
11 Mighty works, also, not the ordinary, God was working through the hands of Paul;
Un Dievs lielus darbus darīja caur Pāvila rokām,
12 so that, even unto the sick, were being carried from his body, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases were departing from them, and, the wicked spirits, were going out.
Tā ka arī sviedru auti un citi auti no viņa miesām tapa nesti pie neveseliem; un slimības tos atstāja, un ļaunie gari no tiem izgāja.
13 But certain also of the wandering Jews, exorcists, took in hand to be naming, over them that had the wicked spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying—I adjure you, by Jesus whom Paul proclaimeth!
Un kādi no tiem Jūdiem, kas bija velnu izdzinēji un apkārt vazājās, uzdrīkstējās Tā Kunga Jēzus vārdu saukt pār tiem, kam bija ļauni gari, sacīdami: mēs jūs apdraudam no tā Jēzus puses, ko Pāvils sludina.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a High-priest, who, this thing, were doing.
Tie nu, kas šo darīja, bija Sķevasa, Jūdu augstā priestera, septiņi dēli.
15 But the wicked spirit. Answering, said unto them—Jesus, [indeed], I am getting to know, and, Paul, I well-know, —but who are, ye?
Un tas ļaunais gars atbildēja un sacīja: “To Jēzu es pazīstu un to Pāvilu es zinu; bet jūs, kas jūs tādi esat?”
16 And the man in whom was the wicked spirit, springing upon them, mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that, naked and wounded, fled they out of that house.
Un tas cilvēks, kam tas ļaunais gars bija, tiem uzlēca un tos pievarēdams tā darīja, ka tiem bija kailiem un ievainotiem jāizbēg no tā nama.
17 And, this, became known to all—both Jews and Greeks—who were dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
Un tas tapa zināms visiem Jūdiem un Grieķiem, kas Efesū dzīvoja; un visiem bailes uzgāja, un Tā Kunga Jēzus vārds tapa augsti teikts.
18 Many also of them who had believed, were coming, making open confession, and renouncing their practices.
Un daudzi no tiem, kas bija palikuši ticīgi, nāca un izteica un izsūdzēja savus nedarbus.
19 And, a good many of them who had practised the curious arts, bringing together the books, were burning them before all; and they reckoned up the prices of them, and found them fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Un daudzi no tiem, kas māņu darbus bija darījuši, tās grāmatas kopā sanesa un sadedzināja visiem redzot; un viņu vērtību aprēķināja un saskaitīja piecdesmit tūkstošus sudraba grašus.
20 Thus, with might, the Lord’s word, was growing and prevailing.
Tik varen auga un uzvarēja Tā Kunga vārds.
21 Now, when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit, going through Macedonia and Achaia, to be journeying unto Jerusalem, saying—After I have been there, Rome also, must I see!
Un pēc šiem notikumiem Pāvils garā apņēmās pārstaigāt Maķedoniju un Akaju un iet uz Jeruzālemi, sacīdams: “Pēc tam, kad tur būšu bijis, man arī Roma jāredz.”
22 And, sending off into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself, held on awhile in Asia.
Un uz Maķedoniju divus sūtījis, kas viņam kalpoja, Timoteju un Erastu, viņš pats kādu brīdi palika iekš Āzijas.
23 And there arose during that season no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Bet ap to laiku liels troksnis cēlās šīs mācības dēļ
24 For, one Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making [silver] shrines, of Diana, used to bring unto the craftsmen no little business;
Jo viens, ar vārdu Demeteris, sudraba kalējs, no sudraba taisīja Dianas namiņus un gādāja tiem amata meistariem lielu peļņu.
25 gathering whom together, and them who in such things wrought, he said—Men! ye well know that, by this business, we have our prosperity;
Šos, un šī amata strādniekus sapulcējis, viņš sacīja: “Vīri, jūs zināt: ka no šā darba mums ir sava pārtikšana;
26 and ye perceive and hear that, not only in Ephesus, but well-nigh in all Asia, this Paul, hath persuaded and turned away a considerable multitude, saying that they are, no gods, which, with hands, are made.
Un jūs redzat un dzirdat, ka šis Pāvils ne vien Efesū, bet tik ne pa visu Āziju lielu pulku pārrunādams ir novērsis, sacīdams, ka tie nav dievi, kas rokām taisīti.
27 And, not only is there danger that this our heritage into ill-repute may come, but even that the temple, of the great Goddess Diana, for nothing, may be counted; also that, even on the point of being pulled down, may be Her Majesty, whom, all Asia and the habitable world, do worship.
Un tas ne vien mums tā var padarīt, ka šī mūsu peļņa ies mazumā, bet arī ka tās augstās dieves Dianas nams taps nievāts, un arī viņas augstība iznīks, kam taču visa Āzija un pasaule kalpo.”
28 Now, hearing this, and becoming full of wrath, they began crying aloud, saying—Great, is Diana of the Ephesians!
Bet to dzirdēdami, tie tapa dusmības pilni un sauca, sacīdami: “Augsta ir Efesiešu Diana.”
29 And the city was filled with the confusion; they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, carrying off with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
Un visa tā pilsēta tapa trokšņa pilna, un tie skrēja vienprātīgi uz teātri, līdz raudami tos Maķedoniešus Gaju un Aristarku, Pāvila ceļa biedrus.
30 But, Paul, being minded to enter in among the populace, the disciples would not suffer him.
Un kad Pāvils gribēja iet pie tiem ļaudīm, tad tie mācekļi viņam to neļāva.
31 Moreover, certain of the Asiarchs also, being his friends, sending unto him, were beseeching him not to adventure himself into the theatre.
Bet arī kādi no Āzijas virsniekiem, viņa draugi būdami, pie tā sūtīja lūgdami, ka tas nedotos uz teātri.
32 Others, indeed, were crying out something else; for the assembly had become confused, and, the greater part, knew not for what cause they had come together.
Tad nu citi sauca šā, citi tā, jo tā draudze bija sajukusi, un tas lielais pulks nezināja, kādēļ kopā bija sanākuši,
33 Howbeit, out of the multitude, they bare aloft one Alexander, the Jews thrusting him forward; Alexander, however, waving his hand, was wishing to make his defense unto the populace.
Un Aleksandru no tā pulka izvilka, kad tie Jūdi viņu uz priekšu stūma; un Aleksandrs meta ar roku, gribēdams priekš tiem ļaudīm aizbildināties.
34 But, recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice arose from all for about two hours, as they cried aloud—Great, is Diana of the Ephesians!
Bet kad tie nomanīja, viņu esam Jūdu, tad visi vienā balsī sauca ap divām stundām: “Augsta ir Efesiešu Diana.”
35 Howbeit the town-clerk, having calmed the multitude, saith—Ephesians! why, who is there of mankind that doth not acknowledge the city of Ephesians to be temple-keeper of the Great Diana, and of the [image] that fell from Jupiter?
Un kad tās pilsētas rakstuvedējs to pulku bija klusinājis, tad viņš sacīja: “Jūs Efesus vīri, kurš cilvēks nezina, Efesus pilsētu esam tās augstās dieves Dianas un tā no debess kritušā tēla kopēju?
36 As these things, then, cannot be denied, it is needful that ye be calmed at once, and, nothing rash, be doing.
Kad nu šīm lietām neviens nevar pretī runāt, tad jums pienākas ar mieru būt un nenieka aplam nedarīt.
37 For ye have brought these men, neither as temple-robbers, nor as defaming our goddess.
Jo jūs šos vīrus esat atveduši, kas nav nedz tās svētās vietas laupītāji nedz jūsu dievietes zaimotāji.
38 If then, Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have against anyone an accusation, courts, are being held, and there are, proconsuls: let them accuse one another!
Ja tad nu Demeterim un tiem amata vīriem kāda lieta ir pret kādu, tad tiesas dienas top turētas un zemes soģi ir, lai viņi tur savā starpā sūdzās.
39 But, if after, something further, ye are seeking, in the regular assembly shall it be settled.
Bet ja jūs citu kādu lietu meklējiet, tad lai sapulcējās pēc likuma un lai iztiesā.
40 For we are, even in danger of being accused of riot, concerning this day, no cause at all, existing, by reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
Jo mēs esam tai likstā, ka par to, kas šodien noticis, varam tikt apsūdzēti dumpja dēļ, un tomēr nekādas vainas nav, ar ko šo dumpi varētu aizbildināt.”
41 And, these things, having said, he dismissed the assembly.
Un to sacījis, viņš tos ļaudis atlaida.
