Apustuļu Darbi 1
1 Tos pirmos stāstus es gan esmu stāstījis par visu, mans Teofil, ko Jēzus ir iesācis darīt un mācīt,
[Dear] Theophilus, In my first book [that I wrote for you], I wrote about many of the things that Jesus did and taught
2 Līdz tai dienai, kad Viņš tapa uzņemts un tiem apustuļiem, ko Viņš izredzējis, pavēles bija devis caur Svēto Garu.
until the day on which he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven]. Before [he went to heaven], saying what the Holy Spirit [told him], he told the apostles whom he had chosen [the things that he wanted them to know].
3 Tiem Viņš arīdzan pēc Savas ciešanas caur daudz skaidrām zīmēm Pats dzīvs bija parādījies, no tiem četrdesmit dienas redzēts un uz tiem runādams par Dieva valstības lietām.
After he had suffered [and died on the cross], [he became alive again]. As he appeared to them [often] during [the next] 40 days, the apostles saw him many times. He proved to them in many ways that he was alive again. He talked [with them] about [how] God would rule [MET] [the lives of people who accepted him as their king].
4 Un kad Viņš tos bija sapulcinājis, tad Viņš tiem pavēlēja, neatstāties no Jeruzālemes, bet gaidīt uz Tā Tēva apsolīšanu, ko jūs no manis esat dzirdējuši (tā Viņš sacīja);
[One time] while he was with them, he told them, “Do not leave Jerusalem [yet]. Instead, wait [here] until my Father sends [his Spirit] [MTY] [to you], as he promised [to do]. You have heard me speak [to you] about that.
5 Jo Jānis gan ir kristījis ar ūdeni, bet jūs tapsiet kristīti ar Svēto Garu ne ilgi pēc šīm dienām.
John baptized people in water [because they said that they wanted to change their lives], but after a few days [LIT] [God] will put the Holy Spirit within you(pl) [to truly change your lives].”
6 Tad nu tie, kas bija kopā nākuši, Viņam vaicāja sacīdami: “Kungs, vai Tu šinī laikā atkal uzcelsi Israēla valstību?”
One day when the [apostles] met together [with Jesus], they asked him, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now become the King [MET] over [us] Israelite people [like King David, who ruled long ago]?” (OR, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now [defeat the Romans and] restore the kingdom [to us] Israelite people?”)
7 Bet Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Jums nepieklājās zināt tos laikus jeb brīžus, ko Tas Tēvs Savā paša varā nolicis.
He replied to them, “You do not [need] to know the time [periods] and days [when that will happen]. My Father alone has decided [when he will make me king].
8 Bet jūs dabūsiet spēku, kad Tas Svētais Gars pār jums būs nācis, un būsiet Mani liecinieki tā Jeruzālemē, kā arī visā Jūdu zemē un Samarijā un līdz pat pasaules galam.”
But [you do need to know that] the Holy Spirit will make you [spiritually] strong when he comes to live in you. Then you will [powerfully] tell people about me in Jerusalem and in all [the other places in] Judea [district], in Samaria [district], and in places far away all over [IDM] the world.”
9 Un to sacījis, Viņš tiem redzot tapa uzcelts, un viens padebesis To uzņēma no viņu acīm.
After he said that, he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven], while they were watching. [He went up into] a cloud [PRS], which prevented them from seeing him [any more].
10 Un kad tie skatījās uz debesīm, Viņam uzkāpjot, redzi, tad divi vīri pie tiem stāvēja baltās drēbēs,
While [the apostles] were [still] staring towards the sky as he was going up, suddenly two men who were wearing white clothes stood beside them. [They were angels].
11 Un sacīja: “Jūs Galileju vīri, ko jūs stāvat skatīdamies uz debesīm! Šis Jēzus, kas ir uzņemts no jums uz debesīm, tāpat nāks, kā jūs viņu esat redzējuši debesīs uzkāpjam.”
One [of] them said, “You men from Galilee [district], (you do not need to stand [here any longer] looking up at the sky!/why do you still stand [here] looking up at the sky?) [RHQ] [Some day] this same Jesus, whom [God] took from you up to heaven, will come back [to earth]. He will return in the same manner as you [just now] saw him when he went up to heaven, [but he will not return now].”
12 Tad tie griezās atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi no tā kalna, kas top saukts Eļļas kalns, kas ir tuvu pie Jeruzālemes vienu svētdienas gājumu.
Then [after the two angels left], the apostles returned to Jerusalem from Olive [Tree] Hill, which was about (a half mile/one kilometer) [MTY] from Jerusalem.
13 Un tur nonākuši tie uzkāpa augšistabā; tur bija sapulcēti Pēteris un Jēkabs, un Jānis un Andrejs, Filips un Toms, Bērtulis un Matejs, Jēkabs, Alfeja dēls, un Sīmanis Zelotes un Jūda, Jēkaba brālis.
When they entered [the city], they went upstairs to the room [in the house] where they were staying. [Those who were there included] Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, [another] James [the son] of Alphaeus, Simon who belonged to the group that wanted to expel the Romans, and Judas [the son] of [another man named] James.
14 Šie visi vienprātīgi pastāvēja iekš lūgšanas un pielūgšanas līdz ar tām sievām un ar Viņa brāļiem.
All these apostles agreed concerning the things about which they continually were praying [together. Others who prayed with them] included the women [who had accompanied Jesus], Mary who was Jesus’ mother, and his [younger] brothers.
15 Un tanīs dienās Pēteris cēlās starp tiem mācekļiem un sacīja, (un tur bija kopā līdz simts divdesmit dvēselēm):
During those days Peter stood up among his fellow believers. There were [at that place] a group of about 120 of [Jesus’ followers]. Peter said,
16 “Vīri, brāļi, tiem rakstiem bija tapt piepildītiem, ko Tas Svētais Gars ir papriekš sacījis caur Dāvida muti par Jūdasu, kas bija ceļa vadonis tiem, kas Jēzu saņēma.
“My fellow believers, [there are words that King] David wrote [MTY] in the Scriptures long ago that needed to be fulfilled {to happen [as he said they would]}. The Holy Spirit, [who knew that Judas would be the one who would fulfill those words], told David what to write.
17 Jo tas bija pieskaitīts pie mums un līdz ar mums dabūjis šo pašu kalpošanas amatu.
[Although] Judas had been chosen {[Jesus] had chosen Judas}, along with [the rest of] us [(exc)] to serve [as an apostle], Judas was the person who led to Jesus the people who seized him.”
18 Tad nu šis tīrumu ir mantojis no tās netaisnās algas, un uz vaigu nokritis, tas vidū uz pusēm sprādzis un visas viņa iekšas ir izgāzušās.
[The Jewish leaders] gave Judas money when he [promised to] treacherously/wickedly [betray Jesus. Later Judas returned that money to them]. When Judas [hanged himself], his body fell down [to the ground]. His abdomen burst open, and all his intestines spilled out. [So] the [Jewish leaders] bought a field [using] that money.
19 Un tas visiem, kas Jeruzālemē dzīvo, ir tapis zināms, kā arī tas tīrums viņu valodā ir nosaukts: Aķeldama, tas ir asins tīrums.
All the people who reside in Jerusalem heard [about that], so they called that field in their own [Aramaic] language, Akeldama, which means ‘Field of Blood’, [because it was where someone bled and died].
20 Jo Dāvida dziesmu grāmatā ir rakstīts: viņu māja lai paliek par postažu, un lai neviens tur nedzīvo, un lai cits dabū viņa uzrauga amatu.
[Peter also said], “[I perceive that what happened to Judas is like what the writer of] Psalms [desired to happen]: ‘May his house become deserted, and may there be no one to live in it.’ (OR, ‘[Judge him, Lord, so that neither he nor] anyone [else] may live in his house!)’ And it seems that [these other words that David wrote also refer to Judas: ] ‘Let someone else take over his work as a leader.’”
21 Tāpēc nu pieklājās, ka no tiem vīriem, kas ar mums kopā bijuši pa visu to laiku, kad Tas Kungs Jēzus pie mums ir iegājis un izgājis,
“So it is necessary [for us apostles] to choose a man [to replace Judas. He must be one who] accompanied [MTY] us all the time when the Lord Jesus was with us.
22 Iesākot no Jāņa kristības līdz tai dienai, kad Viņš no mums ir uzņemts debesīs, ka viens no šiem top par Viņa augšāmcelšanās liecinieku līdz ar mums.”
[That would be] from [the time when] John [the Baptizer] baptized [Jesus] until the day when Jesus was taken {when [God] took Jesus} from us up [to heaven]. He must be one who saw Jesus alive again [after he died].”
23 Un tie stādīja divus priekšā, Jāzepu, kas top saukts Barsaba, ar pavārdu Justs, un Mattīsu.
So the [apostles and other believers] suggested [the names of two men who qualified. One man was] Joseph, who was called {whom people called} Barsabbas (OR, Joseph Barsabbas) who [also] had the [Roman] name Justus. The other man was Matthias.
24 Un Dievu pielūguši tie sacīja: “Kungs, Tu visu siržu manītājs, rādi no šiem diviem vienu, ko Tu izredzējis,
Then they prayed like this: “Lord [Jesus], Judas stopped being an apostle. [He died and] went to the place where he [deserved to be] [EUP]. [So we(exc) need to choose someone] to replace [Judas in order] that he can serve [you(sg) by becoming] an apostle. You [(sg)] know what everyone is really like. So [please] show us which of these two men you have chosen.”
25 Kas var dalību dabūt pie šās kalpošanas un pie šī apustuļu amata, no kā Jūdas ir atstājies, noiedams savā vietā.”
26 Un tie meslojās, un mesli krita uz Mattīsu, un tas tiem vienpadsmit tapa pieskaitīts.
Then they cast lots [to choose between the two of] them, and the lot fell for Matthias. (OR, Then [one of] the [apostles] shook [in a container] small objects/stones [that] they [had marked to determine which man God had chosen]. And the small object/stone [that they had marked] for Matthias fell [out of the container]). So Matthias was considered {they considered Matthias} [to be an apostle] along with the [other] eleven apostles.
