Apustuļu Darbi 11
1 Un tie apustuļi un brāļi Jūdu zemē dzirdēja, ka arī pagāni Dieva vārdu bija pieņēmuši.
And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2 Un kad Pēteris uz Jeruzālemi nāca, tad tie apgraizītie ar to strīdējās,
And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 Sacīdami: “Tu pie vīriem, kam ir priekšāda, esi iegājis un ar tiem ēdis.”
saying: You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them.
4 Bet Pēteris iesāka tiem pēc kārtas stāstīt sacīdams:
And Peter began, and laid the matter before them in order, saying:
5 “Es Joppes pilsētā Dievu lūdzu, un garā aizgrābts redzēju vienu parādīšanu: kādu trauku nonākam tā kā lielu palagu pie četriem stūriem nolaistu no debesīm, un tas nonāca pie manis.
I was in the city of Joppa, praying; and, while in a trance, I saw a vision, some vessel like a great sheet, descending, let down from heaven by the four corners; and it came even to me.
6 To skatīdams es ņēmu vērā un redzēju četrkājīgus lopus un zvērus un tārpus no zemes virsas un putnus, kas apakš debess.
When I had looked attentively into it, I observed and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the air.
7 Un es dzirdēju balsi uz mani sakām: “Celies, Pēteri, kauj un ēd.”
And I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
8 Bet es sacīju: “Ak Kungs, ne mūžam! Jo nekas, kas ir negants un nešķīsts, nekad nav nācis manā mutē.”
But I said, By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.
9 Un balss no debess man atbildēja otrā kārtā: “Ko Dievs ir šķīstījis, to tev nebūs turēt par negantu.”
But the voice answered me a second time from heaven, What God has cleansed, you must not call common.
10 Un tas notikās trim reizēm, un viss atkal tapa uzvilkts debesīs.
This was done the third time, and all was drawn up again into heaven.
11 Un redzi, tūdaļ trīs vīri, no Cezarejas pie manis sūtīti, stāvēja priekš tā nama, kur es biju.
And behold, three men who had been sent to me from Cæsarea, immediately came to the house where I was.
12 Un Tas Gars uz mani sacīja, lai es tiem ejot līdz bez šaubīšanās, un arī šie seši brāļi man gāja līdz, un mēs iegājām tā vīra namā.
And the Spirit commanded me to go with them without hesitation. And these six brethren accompanied me. And we entered the man’s house:
13 Un tas mums stāstīja, kā tas vienu eņģeli bija redzējis savā namā stāvam un uz viņu sakām: “Sūti vīrus uz Joppi un ataicini Sīmani, ar pavārdu Pēteri.
and he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send to Joppa and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
14 Šis tev vārdus sacīs, caur ko tu ar visu savu namu tapsi izglābts.”
he will tell you words by which you and all your house shall be saved.
15 Un kad es sāku runāt, tad Svētais gars uz tiem krita, tāpat kā arī iesākumā uz mums.
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Un es pieminēju Tā Kunga vārdu, ka Viņš ir sacījis: “Jānis gan ar ūdeni kristījis, bet jūs tapsiet kristīti ar Svēto Garu.”
Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as he said, John immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit.
17 Ja nu Dievs tiem tādu pat dāvanu devis kā arī mums, kas esam ticējuši uz To Kungu Jēzu Kristu, kas tad es biju, ka es būtu spējis Dievam to aizliegt?”
If, then, God gave them the like gift that he gave to us who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could withstand God?
18 Un tie to dzirdējuši bija ar mieru un teica Dievu sacīdami: “Tad nu Dievs arī pagāniem ir devis atgriešanos no grēkiem uz dzīvību.”
And when they heard these things, they ceased to contend; and they glorified God, saying: Then, indeed, has God given to the Gentiles also repentance in order to life.
19 Bet nu tie, kas bija izklīduši tai vajāšanā, kas Stefana dēļ bija cēlusies, izgāja līdz Feniķijai, Kiprai un Antioķijai, nevienam to vārdu nesludinādami kā vien Jūdiem.
Now those who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose after the death of Stephen, traveled as far as Phenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews.
20 Un viņu starpā bija kādi Kiprieši un Kirenieši, kas nākuši uz Antioķiju arī uz Grieķiem runāja, to evaņģēliju no Tā Kunga Jēzus mācīdami.
But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 Un Tā Kunga roka bija ar tiem, un liels pulks ticēja un atgriezās pie Tā Kunga.
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
22 Bet slava par tiem nāca ausīs tai Jeruzālemes draudzei; un tā sūtīja Barnabu, lai noietu līdz Antioķijai.
And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church that was in Jerusalem; and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.
23 Šis nonācis un to Dieva žēlastību redzējis, priecājās un visus pamācīja, lai tie no sirds dibena apņemtos pie Tā Kunga palikt.
When he had come, and had seen the grace of God, he rejoiced; and he exhorted them all to remain, with purpose of heart, faithful to the Lord.
24 Jo viņš bija labs vīrs un Svētā Gara un ticības pilns. Un labs ļaužu pulks Tam Kungam tapa pievests,
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25 Un Barnaba izgāja uz Tarsu, Saulu meklēt, un to atradis, viņš to noveda uz Antioķiju.
And Barnabas went to Tarsus, to seek for Saul;
26 Un notikās, ka tie veselu gadu kopā bija tai draudzē un mācīja labu pulku, un ka Antioķijā tos mācekļus sāka saukt par kristīgiem.
and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that they met together in the church for a whole year, and taught a great multitude; and the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
27 Un tanīs dienās pravieši nāca no Jeruzālemes uz Antioķiju.
In those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Un viens no tiem, ar vārdu Agabs, cēlās un pasludināja caur To Garu, ka liels bada laiks nākšot pār visu pasauli: tas arī noticis apakš Ķeizara Klaudius.
And one of them, named Agabus, rose and made known, by the Spirit, that a great famine was about to come on the whole habitable land; which took place in the days of Claudius.
29 Un tie mācekļi apņēmās, kā kurš spēja, ko labu par palīgu sūtīt tiem brāļiem, kas dzīvoja Jūdu zemē.
And every one of the disciples determined, as he had the means, to send relief to the brethren that dwelt in Judea;
30 To tie arī darīja, un tiem vecajiem to sūtīja caur Barnabas un Saula roku.
which also they did; and they sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
