Apustuļu Darbi 11
1 Un tie apustuļi un brāļi Jūdu zemē dzirdēja, ka arī pagāni Dieva vārdu bija pieņēmuši.
NOW the apostles and brethren who 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, they of the circumcision disputed with him,
3 Sacīdami: “Tu pie vīriem, kam ir priekšāda, esi iegājis un ar tiem ēdis.”
saying, Thou hast gone in to men holding uncircumcision, and hast eaten with them.
4 Bet Pēteris iesāka tiem pēc kārtas stāstīt sacīdams:
Then Peter taking up the matter from the beginning, explained it to them regularly, 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 I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel descending as a vast sheet let down from heaven by its four corners; and it came close to me:
6 To skatīdams es ņēmu vērā un redzēju četrkājīgus lopus un zvērus un tārpus no zemes virsas un putnus, kas apakš debess.
on which looking attentively, I perceived, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the birds of the air.
7 Un es dzirdēju balsi uz mani sakām: “Celies, Pēteri, kauj un ēd.”
Then I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter; slay 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 never yet hath any thing common or unclean entered into my mouth.
9 Un balss no debess man atbildēja otrā kārtā: “Ko Dievs ir šķīstījis, to tev nebūs turēt par negantu.”
But the voice replied the second time from heaven, What God hath cleansed, call not thou common.
10 Un tas notikās trim reizēm, un viss atkal tapa uzvilkts debesīs.
Now this was repeated thrice: and the whole withdrawn again into heaven.
11 Un redzi, tūdaļ trīs vīri, no Cezarejas pie manis sūtīti, stāvēja priekš tā nama, kur es biju.
And, lo! immediately three men stood before the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
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 bade me go with them, making no hesitation. But with me went also these six brethren, and we entered into 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 informed us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and invite Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
14 Šis tev vārdus sacīs, caur ko tu ar visu savu namu tapsi izglābts.”
who will speak words to thee, by which thou mayest be saved, and thy house.
15 Un kad es sāku runāt, tad Svētais gars uz tiem krita, tāpat kā arī iesākumā uz mums.
So when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, just 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 recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said, John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost.
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 God then gave an equal gift to them even as to us, on believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; I, indeed, who was I, that I should be able to restrain 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.”
So when they heard these things they were satisfied, and glorified God, saying, Well! then hath God even to the Gentiles given repentance unto 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 also who were dispersed by the persecution which arose on account of Stephen passed on as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no man except the Jews only.
20 Un viņu starpā bija kādi Kiprieši un Kirenieši, kas nākuši uz Antioķiju arī uz Grieķiem runāja, to evaņģēliju no Tā Kunga Jēzus mācīdami.
And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they arrived at Antioch, spake to the Grecian proselytes, 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 vast multitude believing, 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 was heard in the ears of the church which was at Jerusalem: and they dispatched 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.
Who, when he arrived there, and beheld the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted them all, with full purpose of heart to adhere 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 Ghost 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.
Then went forth Barnabas to Tarsus, in search of 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 having found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that during a whole year they were jointly employed in that church, and taught a vast multitude, and they called for the first time in Antioch the disciples Christians.
27 Un tanīs dienās pravieši nāca no Jeruzālemes uz Antioķiju.
Now there came down in those days prophets 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, rising up, signified by the spirit that a great famine was coming upon the whole habitable globe: which also came in the reign of Claudius Caesar.
29 Un tie mācekļi apņēmās, kā kurš spēja, ko labu par palīgu sūtīt tiem brāļiem, kas dzīvoja Jūdu zemē.
Then the disciples, as everyman had ability, determined every individual of them to send a sum to be distributed among the brethren who dwelt in Judea:
30 To tie arī darīja, un tiem vecajiem to sūtīja caur Barnabas un Saula roku.
which also they did, sending it off to the presbyters by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
