Acts 28
1 After we [(exc)] had arrived safely [on the shore], we learned that it was an island called Malta.
Un kad tie bija izglābti, tad tie dabūja zināt, ka tā sala tapa saukta Melite.
2 The people who lived there received us kindly. They lit a fire and invited us to come and warm ourselves, because it was raining and it was cold.
Un tie salas ļaudis mums parādīja lielu laipnību; jo tie uguni uzkūruši mūs visus uzņēma, tā lietus dēļ kas bija sācis līt, un tā aukstuma dēļ.
3 Paul gathered some sticks and put them on the fire. But [among those sticks was] a snake that had come out [from the fire to escape] from the heat, and it fastened itself on Paul’s hand.
Un kad Pāvils kādu žagaru nastiņu bija salasījis un pie uguns pielicis, tad viena odze no tā karstuma izlīda un ap viņa roku aptinās.
4 [The islanders knew that the snake was poisonous, so] when they saw it hanging from Paul’s hand, they said to each other, “Probably this man has murdered someone. Although he has escaped from being drowned, [the god] ([who] pays [people back/who punishes people]) for their [MTY] sins will cause him to die.”
Un kad tie salas ļaudis to tārpu redzēja pie viņa rokas karājamies, tad tie sacīja savā starpā: šis cilvēks tiešām ir slepkava, kam no jūras izglābtam atriebšana neļauj dzīvot.
5 But Paul simply shook the snake off into the fire, and nothing happened to him.
Bet viņš to tārpu nokratīja ugunī un neko ļauna necieta.
6 The people were expecting that Paul’s body would soon swell up or that he would suddenly fall down and die. But after they had waited a long time, they saw [that the snake] had not harmed him [at all]. So then the people changed their minds and said [to one another], “This man is not a murderer! Probably he is a god!”
Un tie gaidīja, ka tas uztūktu, vai piepeši nomiris pakristu; bet kad tie ilgi bija gaidījuši un redzēja, ka nekāds ļaunums viņam nenotika, tad tiem citas domas nāca, un tie sacīja, viņu esam dievu.
7 Near where the people had made the fire, there were some fields that belonged to a man whose name was Publius. He was the chief official on the island. He invited us to [come and stay in] his home. He took care of us for three days.
Un ap to pašu vietu tam salas virsniekam, ar vārdu Publijus, bija muiža; tas mūs uzņēma un trīs dienas laipni kopa.
8 [At that time] Publius’ father had a fever and dysentery, and he was lying [in bed]. So Paul visited him and prayed [for him. Then] Paul placed his hands on him and healed him.
Un notikās, ka Publijus tēvs ar drudzi un ar asins sērgu sirga; pie tā Pāvils iegāja un Dievu pielūdzis rokas tam uzlika un to darīja veselu.
9 After Paul had done that, the other people on the island who were sick came [to him] and [he] healed them, too.
Kad nu tas bija noticis, tad arī tie citi atnāca, kam tanī salā bija sērgas, un tapa dziedināti.
10 They brought us gifts and [showed in other ways that] they greatly respected us. When we were [ready] to leave [three months later], they brought us food and other things that we would need [for the trip].
Tie arīdzan mūs ar lielu godu pagodināja, un kad mēs aizcēlāmies, tie deva, ko mums vajadzēja.
11 After [we had stayed there] three months, we [got on] a ship [that was going to Italy and] sailed away. The ship had been in [a harbor on] the island during the months when there are many storms. It had come from Alexandria [city]. On the front of the ship there were carved images of the twin gods [whose names were Castor and Pollux].
Un pēc trim mēnešiem aizcēlāmies ar laivu, kas bija no Aleksandrijas un tanī salā pa ziemu bija mitusi, un kam par zīmi bija dvīņi.
12 We [sailed from the island and] arrived at Syracuse [city on Sicily island] and stayed there three days.
Un uz Sirakuzu nākuši, mēs tur palikām trīs dienas.
13 Then we traveled on by ship and arrived at Rhegium [port in Italy]. The next day, the wind was blowing from behind us, [so we sailed along fast]. The day after that, we reached Puteoli [town, where we left the ship].
No turienes atkal aizcēlušies, mēs nācām uz Reģiu; un kad pēc vienas dienas dienasvidus vējš cēlās, tad nācām otrā dienā uz Puteoliem.
14 In Puteoli we met some believers who invited us to stay with them for a week. [After visiting them], we [left there and started to travel by land] to Rome.
Tur mēs atradām brāļus un no tiem tapām lūgti, septiņas dienas pie tiem palikt, un tā mēs nācām uz Romu.
15 [A group of] believers [who lived in Rome] had heard that we [(exc) were coming]. So they came out [from Rome] to meet us. [Some of] them met us at [the town called] ‘The Market on Appian [Road’, ] and others met us at [the town called] ‘The Three Inns’. When Paul saw those believers, he thanked God and was encouraged.
Un no turienes tie brāļi, par mums dzirdējuši, izgāja mums pretī līdz Appijus tirgum un TriTabernām; tos redzēdams, Pāvils Dievam pateicās un ņēmās drošu prātu.
16 After we [(exc)] arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted {[a Roman official who was responsible for guarding Paul] permitted Paul} to live [in a house] by himself. But [there was always] a soldier there to guard him.
Un kad mēs nācām uz Romu, tad tas kapteinis tos saistītos nodeva tam karavaldniekam, bet Pāvilam vaļa tapa dota, savrup palikt ar kādu karavīru, kas viņu sargāja.
17 After [Paul had been there] three days, he sent a message to the Jewish leaders [to come and talk with him. So] they came, and Paul said to them, “My fellow Jews, although I have not opposed our people nor spoken against the customs of our ancestors, [our leaders] in Jerusalem [seized] [MTY] [me. But before they could kill me, a Roman commander rescued me and later sent me] to Caesarea for Roman [authorities/officials to put me on trial].
Un notikās pēc trim dienām, ka Pāvils Jūdu priekšniekus saaicināja. Un kad tie bija kopā sanākuši, viņš uz tiem sacīja: ‘Vīri, brāļi, es neko neesmu darījis ne pret šiem ļaudīm, ne pret tēvu ieradumiem un tomēr saistīts no Jeruzālemes esmu nodots Romiešu rokās.
18 The Roman authorities/officials questioned me and wanted to release me, because I had not done any [bad] thing for which I should be executed {they should kill me}.
Tie izjautājuši gribēja mani atlaist, tādēļ ka nekādas nāves vainas pie manis nebija.
19 But when the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there opposed [what the Roman authorities wanted to do], I had to formally request that the Emperor [judge me here in Rome]. But my reason for doing that was not that I wanted to accuse our leaders about anything.
Bet kad tie Jūdi pretī runāja, tad tapu spiests, ķeizaru piesaukt, tomēr ne tā, ka man būtu ko sūdzēt pret savu tautu.
20 So I have requested you [to come] here so that I can tell you why I am a prisoner. It is because I believe in [MTY] our Messiah, the one [God long ago promised to send] to us [(inc)] Jews.”
Tad nu šās lietas dēļ es jūs esmu lūdzis, ka dabūtu jūs redzēt un ar jums runāt. Jo Israēla cerības dēļ es ar šīm ķēdēm esmu saistīts.”
21 Then [the Jewish leaders] said, “We [(exc)] have not received any letters from [our fellow Jews] in Judea about you. Also, none of our fellow Jews who have arrived [here from Judea] has said anything bad about you.
Bet tie uz viņu sacīja: “Mēs neesam nedz grāmatas par tevi no Jūdu zemes dabūjuši, nedz arī kāds no tiem atnākušiem brāļiem par tevi ko ļauna ir sludinājis jeb runājis.
22 But we [(exc)] want to hear what you [(sg)] think about this [Christian] sect/group, because we know that in many places [HYP] bad things are being said {people are saying bad things} about it.”
Tomēr mēs gribam no tevis dzirdēt, ko tu domā; jo no šās draudzes mums ir zināms, ka tai visās malās top pretī runāts.”
23 So they [talked with Paul and decided that they would come back on another day to hear him. When that day arrived], those Jews came back to the place where Paul was staying, and they brought more Jews with them. Paul talked to them from morning until evening. He talked to them about how God wants to rule [people’s lives] [MET]. He tried to convince them that Jesus [is the Messiah] by reminding them what Moses and the other prophets had written [MTY].
Un kad tie viņam vienu dienu bija nolikuši, tad daudzi nāca pie viņa mājas vietā; tiem viņš Dieva valstību apliecināja un izstāstīja, tos pārliecinādams par Jēzu no rīta agri līdz vakaram.
24 Some of those Jews believed that what was said [by Paul] {what [Paul] said} about Jesus [was true], but others did not believe [that it was true].
Un citi gan tapa pārliecināti caur to, ko viņš sacīja, bet citi neticēja.
25 So they began to argue with one another. [Paul realized that some of them did not want to listen to him, so] when they were about to leave, he said, “The Holy Spirit said something to your/our(incl) ancestors. He spoke these words to Isaiah the prophet, [and what he said is also true about you]:
Un nebūdami savā starpā vienprātīgi, tie aizgāja, kad Pāvils to vienu vārdu bija sacījis: “Tas Svētais Gars gan labi caur pravieti Jesaju ir runājis uz mūsu tēviem,
26 Go to your fellow Israelites and tell them, ‘You repeatedly listen [to the message of God], but you never understand [what God is saying]. You repeatedly look at and see [the things that God is doing], but you never understand [what they mean].
Sacīdams: “Noej pie šiem ļaudīm un saki: ar ausīm jūs dzirdēsiet un nesapratīsiet, un redzēdami jūs redzēsiet un nenomanīsiet.
27 God also said to the prophet, These people do not understand, because they have become stubborn. They have ears, but they do not understand what they hear, and they have closed their eyes [because they do not want to see]. If they wanted to obey what I say to them, they might understand what they see [me doing] and what they hear [me saying]. Then they might turn from their sinful behavior and I would save them.’
Jo šo ļaužu sirds ir tapusi cieta, un ar ausīm tie grūti dzird un snauž ar savām acīm, ka tie ar acīm neredz un ar sirdi nesaprot un neatgriežas, ka Es tos dziedinātu.”
28 [That is what God said to the prophet Isaiah about our ancestors. But you Jews today do not want to believe God’s message]. Therefore, I am telling you that [God] has sent to the non-Jews this message about how he saves people, and they will listen [and accept it]!”
Tad nu jums būs zināt, ka pagāniem Dieva pestīšana ir sūtīta, un tie to dzirdēs.”
Un kad viņš to bija sacījis, tad tie Jūdi aizgāja, savā starpā daudz apjautādamies.
30 For two whole years Paul stayed [there] in a house that he rented. Many people came to see him, and he received them all gladly [and talked with them].
Un Pāvils palika divus gadus savā īpaši īrētā mājas vietā, un visus pieņēma, kas pie viņa nāca,
31 He preached [and taught people] about how God could rule [their lives] [MET] and taught them about the Lord Jesus Christ. He did that without being afraid, and no one tried to stop him.
Dieva valstību sludinādams un par To Kungu Jēzu Kristu mācīdams ar visu drošību bez aizliegšanas.
