< Apustuļu Darbi 10 >
1 Un viens vīrs bija Cezarejā, Karniels vārdā, viens kapteinis, no tā saucamā Itālijas karoga,
NOW there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the cohort called the Italic,
2 Dieva cienītājs un dievbijīgs ar visu savu namu, kas tos ļaudis daudz apdāvināja un allažiņ Dievu lūdza.
a man of piety, and who feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.
3 Šis ap devīto dienas stundu parādīšanā skaidri redzēja Dieva eņģeli ienākam pie viņa un uz viņu sakām: “Karniel!”
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 Un to redzēdams viņš pārbijās un sacīja: “Kas ir, Kungs?” Bet tas uz viņu sacīja: “Tavas lūgšanas ir uzkāpušas un pieminētas Dieva priekšā.
Then looking stedfastly on him, and being terrified, he said, What means this, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 Un tagad nosūti vīrus uz Joppi un ataicini Sīmani, ar pavārdu Pēteri.
And now send men to Joppa, and inquire for Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
6 Šis piemājo pie kāda ādmiņa Sīmaņa, kam nams ir jūrmalā; šis tev sacīs, ko tev būs darīt.”
he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is near the sea: this man will tell thee what thou must do.
7 Un kad tas eņģelis, kas ar Karnieli runāja, bija aizgājis, tad šis aicināja divus no saviem nama kalpiem un vienu dievbijīgu karavīru no tiem, kas pastāvīgi pie viņa bija.
But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who constantly were in attendance upon him;
8 Un visas lietas stāstījis viņš tos sūtīja uz Joppi.
and relating all things to them, sent them to Joppa.
9 Un otrā dienā, kad tie uz ceļa bija un tai pilsētai tuvu klāt nāca, Pēteris uzkāpa uz jumtu, Dievu lūgt, ap sesto stundu.
Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour:
10 Un viņš izsalcis būdams gribēja ko baudīt, un kamēr tie ēdienu sataisīja, viņš garā tapa aizgrābts.
and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him.
11 Un viņš redz debesi atvērtu un kādu trauku nonākam, tā kā lielu palagu pie četriem stūriem nolaistu zemē.
And he saw heaven opened, and there descended to him a certain vessel, as a great sheet with chains at the four corners, and resting upon the earth:
12 Tanī bija visādi četrkājīgi lopi un zvēri un tārpi no zemes virsas un putni, kas apakš debess.
in which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and birds of the air.
13 Un balss notika uz to: “Celies, Pēteri, kauj un ēd.”
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; slay and eat.
14 Bet Pēteris sacīja: “Ne mūžam, Kungs! Jo es nekad neesmu ko ēdis, kas ir aizliegts, vai nešķīsts.”
But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean.
15 Un atkal otru reiz balss uz viņu notika: “Ko Dievs ir šķīstījis, to tev nebūs turēt par aizliegtu.”
And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean.
16 Un tas notika trīs reizes un tas trauks atkal tapa uzcelts debesīs.
This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven.
17 Un kad Pēteris savā prātā nezināja, ko šī parādīšana apzīmējot, ko viņš bija redzējis, redzi, tad tie no Karnieļa sūtītie vīri, Sīmaņa namu izvaicājuši, stāvēja pie vārtiem.
But while Peter was perplexed in himself what was meant by the vision which he had seen, then, behold! the men which had been sent by Cornelius having inquired out the house of Simon, stood before the door,
18 Un tie sauca un vaicāja, vai Sīmanis, ar pavārdu Pēteris, tur mājojot?
and calling, asked if Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 Un kad Pēteris to parādīšanu pārdomāja, tad Tas Gars uz to sacīja: “Redzi, trīs vīri tevi meklē;
But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee.
20 Bet celies, nokāp un ej tiem līdz nešaubīdamies, jo Es tos esmu sūtījis.”
Arise then, and go down, and go with them, entertaining no doubt, for I have sent them.
21 Un Pēteris nokāpa pie tiem vīriem, kas no Karnieļa pie tā bija sūtīti, un sacīja: “Redzi, es esmu tas, ko jūs meklējiet, kādas lietas dēļ jūs še esat?”
Then Peter went down to the men who were sent by Cornelius to him; and said, Lo! I am the person that ye ask for: what is the business on which ye are come hither?
22 Un tie sacīja: “Karniels, viens kapteinis, taisns un dievbijīgs vīrs, kam pie visas Jūdu cilts laba slava, tas no viena svēta eņģeļa ir pamācīts, tevi uz savu namu aicināt un vārdus dzirdēt no tevis.”
Then they said, Cornelius a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report with all the nation of the Jews, has been divinely admonished by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, to hear words from thee.
23 Tad nu viņš tos aicināja iekšā un uzņēma savā namā. Un otrā dienā viņš cēlās un gāja tiem līdz, un kādi brāļi, kas bija no Joppes, viņu pavadīja.
Then inviting them in, he lodged them there. And the next morning Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 Un otrā dienā tie nonāca Cezarejā, un Karniels, savus radiniekus un labākos draugus saaicinājis, viņus gaidīja.
And the next day they entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relations and nearest friends.
25 Un notikās, Pēterim ieejot, ka Karniels tam gāja pretī un paklanījās, mezdamies pie viņa kājām.
And as Peter was entering, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, paid him homage.
26 Bet Pēteris to pacēla un sacīja: “Celies, arī es esmu cilvēks.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also myself am a man.
27 Un ar to sarunādamies viņš gāja iekšā un atrada daudz kopā sanākušus,
And conversing with him, he entered, and found many assembled together.
28 Un uz tiem sacīja: “Jūs zināt, ka Jūdu vīram nepieklājās piebiedroties jeb nākt pie svešas tautas cilvēka; bet man Dievs ir rādījis, ka nevienu cilvēku nebūs saukt par negantu jeb nešķīstu.
And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean.
29 Tāpēc es ataicināts arī esmu nācis bez pretī runāšanas; tad nu vaicāju: kādēļ jūs mani esat aicinājuši?”
Wherefore also without a word, I came when invited: I beg to know therefore for what purpose ye have sent for me?
30 Un Karniels sacīja: “Priekš četrām dienām līdz šai stundai es biju gavējis, un devītā stundā man savā namā Dievu lūdzot, redzi, viens vīrs ar spožām drēbēm stāvēja manā priekšā
Then Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and, lo! a man stood before me in shining apparel,
31 Un sacīja: Karniel, tavas lūgšanas ir paklausītas un tavas nabagu dāvanas ir pieminētas Dieva priekšā.
and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are remembered before God.
32 Tāpēc sūti uz Joppi un ataicini Sīmani, ar pavārdu Pēteri; šis mājo Sīmaņa, tā ādmiņa, namā pie jūras; šis nāks un ar tevi runās.
Send therefore to Joppa, and invite Simon, whose surname is Peter, to come to thee; he lodgeth in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea: who, when he is come will talk with thee.
33 Tāpēc es tūdaļ pie tevis esmu sūtījis, un tu esi labi darījis, ka esi nācis. Tad nu tagad mēs visi stāvam Dieva priekšā, visu to dzirdēt, kas tev no Dieva pavēlēts.”
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore are all we here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to thee from God.
34 Bet Pēteris savu muti atdarījis sacīja: “Nu es tiešām atzīstu, ka Dievs cilvēka vaigu neuzlūko;
Then Peter opening his mouth, said, In truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons:
35 Bet no visām tautām, kas Viņu bīstas un taisnību dara, tas Viņam pieņēmīgs.
but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.
36 Tas ir tas vārds, ko Viņš Israēla bērniem ir sūtījis, pasludinādams prieku un mieru caur Jēzu Kristu: Šis ir Kungs pār visiem.
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all, ) ye know:
37 Jūs zināt, kas noticis pa visu Jūdu zemi, iesākot no Galilejas, pēc tās kristības, ko Jānis pasludinājis;
even that which was the common talk through all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Kā Dievs ar Svētu Garu un spēku ir svaidījis to Jēzu no Nacaretes, kas ir apkārt gājis, labu darīdams un dziedinādams visus no velna uzvarētos; jo Dievs bija ar Viņu.
respecting Jesus, who was of Nazareth, how God had anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were tyrannically oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 Un mēs esam liecinieki par visu, ko Viņš darījis Jūdu zemē un arī Jeruzālemē; Šo tie nokāvuši piekārdami pie koka.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed suspending him on a tree:
40 Šo Dievs ir uzmodinājis trešā dienā un Viņam licis parādīties
him God raised up the third day, and ordained that he should be visibly manifested;
41 Ne visiem ļaudīm, bet tiem papriekš no Dieva ieceltiem lieciniekiem, mums, kas ar Viņu esam ēduši un dzēruši pēc Viņa augšām celšanās no miroņiem.
not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead.
42 Un Viņš mums ir pavēlējis, tiem ļaudīm pasludināt un apliecināt, Viņu esam to no Dieva iestādīto soģi pār dzīviem un mirušiem.
And hath commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to bear our testimony that this is the person who is ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 Šim visi pravieši dod liecību, ka caur Viņa vārdu ikviens, kas tic uz Viņu, dabū grēku piedošanu.”
To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins.
44 Un Pēterim šos vārdus vēl runājot, Svētais Gars krita uz visiem, kas to vārdu dzirdēja.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all who heard the discourse.
45 Un tie ticīgie no tās apgraizīšanas, cik Pēterim bija līdz nākuši, iztrūkās, ka arī uz pagāniem Svētā Gara dāvana bija izlieta;
And they of the circumcision who were believers, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, because even on the Gentiles the gift of the holy Ghost was poured out.
46 Jo tie tos dzirdēja valodām runājam un Dievu teicam. Tad Pēteris atbildēja:
For they heard them speaking in different languages, and magnifying God. Then Peter addressed them,
47 “Vai arī kas laban ūdeni var liegt, ka šie netaptu kristīti, kas To Svēto Garu ir dabūjuši itin kā mēs?”
Can any one forbid the water for baptising these persons, who have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 Un viņš pavēlēja, tos kristīt iekš Tā Kunga vārda. Tad tie viņu lūdza, lai viņš kādas dienas pie tiem paliktu.
So he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to tarry there some days.
