Apustuļu Darbi 10
1 Un viens vīrs bija Cezarejā, Karniels vārdā, viens kapteinis, no tā saucamā Itālijas karoga,
[There was] a man [who lived] in Caesarea [city] whose name was Cornelius. He was an officer who commanded 100 men in a large group of [Roman] soldiers from Italy.
2 Dieva cienītājs un dievbijīgs ar visu savu namu, kas tos ļaudis daudz apdāvināja un allažiņ Dievu lūdza.
He always tried to do what would please God; he and his entire household [MTY] [were non-Jews who] habitually worshipped God. He sometimes gave money to help poor [Jewish] people, and he prayed to God regularly.
3 Šis ap devīto dienas stundu parādīšanā skaidri redzēja Dieva eņģeli ienākam pie viņa un uz viņu sakām: “Karniel!”
[One day] at about three o’clock in the afternoon [Cornelius saw] a vision. He clearly saw an angel whom God [had sent]. The angel came into [his room] and said 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.
Cornelius stared at the angel and became terrified. Then he asked [fearfully], “Sir, what do you [(sg)] want?” The angel answered him, “You [(sg)] have pleased God because you have been praying [regularly to him] and you often give money to [help] poor people. [Those things have been] like a sacrifice [to God].
5 Un tagad nosūti vīrus uz Joppi un ataicini Sīmani, ar pavārdu Pēteri.
So, now command some men to go to Joppa and [tell them to] bring back a man named Simon whose other name is Peter.
6 Šis piemājo pie kāda ādmiņa Sīmaņa, kam nams ir jūrmalā; šis tev sacīs, ko tev būs darīt.”
He is staying with a man, [also] named Simon, who makes leather. His house is near the ocean.”
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.
When the angel who spoke to Cornelius had gone, Cornelius summoned two of his household servants and a soldier who served him, one who also worshipped God.
8 Un visas lietas stāstījis viņš tos sūtīja uz Joppi.
He explained to them everything [that the angel had said. Then] he told them to go to Joppa [to ask Peter to come to Caesarea].
9 Un otrā dienā, kad tie uz ceļa bija un tai pilsētai tuvu klāt nāca, Pēteris uzkāpa uz jumtu, Dievu lūgt, ap sesto stundu.
About noon the next day those [three men] were traveling [along the road] and were coming near [Joppa. As they were approaching Joppa], Peter went up on the [flat] housetop to pray.
10 Un viņš izsalcis būdams gribēja ko baudīt, un kamēr tie ēdienu sataisīja, viņš garā tapa aizgrābts.
He became hungry and wanted something to eat. While someone was preparing the food, [Peter] saw [this] vision:
11 Un viņš redz debesi atvērtu un kādu trauku nonākam, tā kā lielu palagu pie četriem stūriem nolaistu zemē.
(He saw heaven open/He saw an opening in the sky) and something like a large sheet was being lowered [to the ground]. [It was tied at] its four corners [with ropes].
12 Tanī bija visādi četrkājīgi lopi un zvēri un tārpi no zemes virsas un putni, kas apakš debess.
Inside the sheet were all kinds of creatures. [These included animals and birds that the Mosaic laws forbade Jews to eat]. Some had four feet, others scurried across the ground, and others were wild birds.
13 Un balss notika uz to: “Celies, Pēteri, kauj un ēd.”
Then [he heard] God [SYN] say to him, “Peter, stand up, kill [and cook some of these] and eat [their meat]!”
14 Bet Pēteris sacīja: “Ne mūžam, Kungs! Jo es nekad neesmu ko ēdis, kas ir aizliegts, vai nešķīsts.”
But Peter replied, “Lord, surely you [(sg)] do not [really want me to do that]! I have never eaten any [meat] that [our Jewish law says] is unacceptable to God or [something that we(exc)] must not eat!”
15 Un atkal otru reiz balss uz viņu notika: “Ko Dievs ir šķīstījis, to tev nebūs turēt par aizliegtu.”
[Then Peter heard] [MTY] God talk to him a second time. He said, “[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!”
16 Un tas notika trīs reizes un tas trauks atkal tapa uzcelts debesīs.
[This happened] three [times, so Peter knew that he had to think carefully about what it might mean]. Immediately [after God had said that the third time], ([the] sheet [with the animals and birds] was the pulled back into heaven/[someone] pulled the sheet [with the animals and birds] up into the sky again).
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.
While Peter was trying to understand what that vision meant, the men who had been sent by Cornelius {whom Cornelius had sent} [arrived in Joppa. They asked people how to get to] Simon’s house. [So they found his house] and were standing outside the gate.
18 Un tie sauca un vaicāja, vai Sīmanis, ar pavārdu Pēteris, tur mājojot?
They called and were asking if a man named Simon, whose other name was Peter, was staying there.
19 Un kad Pēteris to parādīšanu pārdomāja, tad Tas Gars uz to sacīja: “Redzi, trīs vīri tevi meklē;
While Peter was still trying to understand [what] the vision [meant], [God’s] Spirit said to him, “Three men [are here who] want to see you.
20 Bet celies, nokāp un ej tiem līdz nešaubīdamies, jo Es tos esmu sūtījis.”
So get up and go downstairs and go with them! Do not think that you [(sg)] should not go with them [because of their being non-Jews], because I have sent them [here]!”
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?”
So Peter went down to the men and said to them, “[Greetings!] I am [the man] you are looking for. Why have you come?”
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.”
One of them replied, “Cornelius, who is a [Roman] army officer, [sent us here]. He is a righteous man who worships God, and all of the Jewish people [HYP] [who know about him] say that he is a very good man. An angel (who was sent from God/whom God sent) said to him, ‘Tell some men to [go to Joppa to see Simon Peter and] bring him here, so that you [(sg)] can hear what he has to say.’”
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.
So Peter [said that he would go with them, and then he] invited them into [the house] and told them that they could stay [there that night]. Acts 10:23b-26 The next day Peter got ready and went with the men. Several of the believers from Joppa went with him.
24 Un otrā dienā tie nonāca Cezarejā, un Karniels, savus radiniekus un labākos draugus saaicinājis, viņus gaidīja.
The day after that, they arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them. He had also invited his relatives and close friends [to come to his house, so they were there, too].
25 Un notikās, Pēterim ieejot, ka Karniels tam gāja pretī un paklanījās, mezdamies pie viņa kājām.
When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and bowed low in front of him to worship him.
26 Bet Pēteris to pacēla un sacīja: “Celies, arī es esmu cilvēks.”
But Peter [grasped Cornelius by the hand and] lifted him to his feet. He said, “Stand up! [Do not revere/worship me] I myself am only human, [like you]!”
27 Un ar to sarunādamies viņš gāja iekšā un atrada daudz kopā sanākušus,
While he was talking to Cornelius, Peter [and the others] entered [a large room inside the house]. Peter saw that many people had gathered together [there].
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.
Then Peter said to them, “You all know that any [of us] Jews think we are disobeying [our Jewish] laws if we [(exc)] associate with a non-Jewish person or [if we even] visit him. However, God has shown me [in a vision] that I should not say about anyone that God will not accept him.
29 Tāpēc es ataicināts arī esmu nācis bez pretī runāšanas; tad nu vaicāju: kādēļ jūs mani esat aicinājuši?”
So when you sent [some men] to ask me to come [here], I came [right away. I] did not say that I could not go [with non-Jewish people. So, please tell me], why have you asked me to come [here]?”
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
Cornelius replied, “About this time four days ago I was praying [to God] in my house, [as I regularly do] at three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly a man whose clothes [shone] brightly stood in front of me,
31 Un sacīja: Karniel, tavas lūgšanas ir paklausītas un tavas nabagu dāvanas ir pieminētas Dieva priekšā.
and said, ‘Cornelius, when you [(sg)] have prayed, you have been heard by God {God has heard [when] you [(sg)] have prayed [to him]}. He has also noticed that you have [often] given money to [help] poor people, [and he is pleased with that].
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.
So now, send [messengers to go] to Joppa, [in order] to ask Simon whose other name is Peter to come [here]. He is staying near the ocean in a house that belongs to [another] man named Simon, who makes leather. [When Simon Peter comes, he will tell you a message from God].’
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.”
So I immediately sent [some men who asked] you [(sg) to come here], and I [certainly] thank you for coming. Now we [(exc)] all are gathered [here, knowing that] God is with us, in order to hear all the things that the Lord [God] has commanded you [to say. So please speak to us].”
34 Bet Pēteris savu muti atdarījis sacīja: “Nu es tiešām atzīstu, ka Dievs cilvēka vaigu neuzlūko;
So Peter began to speak [MTY] to them. He said, “[Now] I understand that it is true that God does not favor only certain groups [of people].
35 Bet no visām tautām, kas Viņu bīstas un taisnību dara, tas Viņam pieņēmīgs.
Instead, from every group of people he accepts [everyone who] honors him and who does what pleases him.
36 Tas ir tas vārds, ko Viņš Israēla bērniem ir sūtījis, pasludinādams prieku un mieru caur Jēzu Kristu: Šis ir Kungs pār visiem.
[You know] the message that God sent to [us] Israelis. [He] proclaimed [to us the good news that he] would cause [people] to have peace [with him] because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. This [Jesus is Lord not only over us Israelis. He] is [also the] Lord [who rules] over all [people].
37 Jūs zināt, kas noticis pa visu Jūdu zemi, iesākot no Galilejas, pēc tās kristības, ko Jānis pasludinājis;
You know what [he] did throughout the land of Judea, beginning in Galilee. He began [to do those things] after John had been proclaiming [to people that they should turn away from their sinful behavior before] he baptized them.
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.
You know that God gave [MTY] his Holy Spirit to Jesus, [the Man] from Nazareth [town], and gave him the power [to do miracles. You also know] how Jesus went to many places, always doing good deeds and healing [people. Specifically], he was continually healing all the people whom the devil was causing to suffer. [Jesus was able to do those things] because God was always helping him.”
39 Un mēs esam liecinieki par visu, ko Viņš darījis Jūdu zemē un arī Jeruzālemē; Šo tie nokāvuši piekārdami pie koka.
“We [apostles] tell people about all the things that [we saw Jesus] do in Jerusalem and in the [rest of] Israel. [The leaders in Jerusalem] had him killed by being nailed to a cross.
40 Šo Dievs ir uzmodinājis trešā dienā un Viņam licis parādīties
However, God caused him to become alive again on the third day [after he had died]. God [also] enabled [some of us(exc)] to see him [so that we would know that he was alive again].
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.
God [did] not [let] all the [Jewish] people see him. Instead, he had chosen us [apostles] beforehand to see [Jesus after he became alive again], and to tell others [about him]. We [apostles are the people] who ate meals with him (after he had become alive [again]/after he had risen 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.
God commanded us to preach to the people and tell them that Jesus is the one whom he has appointed to judge [everyone some day. He will judge all] those who will [still] be living and all those who will have died [by that time].
43 Šim visi pravieši dod liecību, ka caur Viņa vārdu ikviens, kas tic uz Viņu, dabū grēku piedošanu.”
All of the prophets [who wrote about the Messiah long ago] told [people] about him. [They wrote] that if people believe in the Messiah [MTY], God would forgive [them for] their sins, because of what [the Messiah would do] for them.”
44 Un Pēterim šos vārdus vēl runājot, Svētais Gars krita uz visiem, kas to vārdu dzirdēja.
While Peter was still speaking those words, suddenly the Holy Spirit (came down on/began to control) all [those non-Jewish people] who were listening to the message.
45 Un tie ticīgie no tās apgraizīšanas, cik Pēterim bija līdz nākuši, iztrūkās, ka arī uz pagāniem Svētā Gara dāvana bija izlieta;
The Jewish believers who had come with Peter [from Joppa] were amazed that [God] had generously given the Holy Spirit to the non-Jewish people, too.
46 Jo tie tos dzirdēja valodām runājam un Dievu teicam. Tad Pēteris atbildēja:
[The Jewish believers knew that God had done that] because they were hearing those people speaking languages [MTY] [that they had not learned] and telling how great God is.
47 “Vai arī kas laban ūdeni var liegt, ka šie netaptu kristīti, kas To Svēto Garu ir dabūjuši itin kā mēs?”
Then Peter said [to the other Jewish believers who were there], “[God] has given them the Holy Spirit just like [he gave him] to us [Jewish believers], so (surely all of you would agree that [we(exc)] should baptize these people!/would any of you forbid that these people should be baptized?) [RHQ]”
48 Un viņš pavēlēja, tos kristīt iekš Tā Kunga vārda. Tad tie viņu lūdza, lai viņš kādas dienas pie tiem paliktu.
Then Peter told those [non-Jewish] people that they should be baptized [to show that they had believed] [MTY] in the [Lord] Jesus Christ. [So they baptized all of them. After they were baptized], they requested that Peter stay [with them] several days. [So Peter and the other Jewish believers did that].
