Apustuļu Darbi 11
1 Un tie apustuļi un brāļi Jūdu zemē dzirdēja, ka arī pagāni Dieva vārdu bija pieņēmuši.
Now the emissaries and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 Un kad Pēteris uz Jeruzālemi nāca, tad tie apgraizītie ar to strīdējās,
When Peter had come 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:
But Peter began, and explained to 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 in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as 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 intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
7 Un es dzirdēju balsi uz mani sakām: “Celies, Pēteri, kauj un ēd.”
I also 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, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
9 Un balss no debess man atbildēja otrā kārtā: “Ko Dievs ir šķīstījis, to tev nebūs turēt par negantu.”
But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
10 Un tas notikās trim reizēm, un viss atkal tapa uzvilkts debesīs.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 Un redzi, tūdaļ trīs vīri, no Cezarejas pie manis sūtīti, stāvēja priekš tā nama, kur es biju.
Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to 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.
The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, 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.
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
14 Šis tev vārdus sacīs, caur ko tu ar visu savu namu tapsi izglābts.”
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
15 Un kad es sāku runāt, tad Svētais gars uz tiem krita, tāpat kā arī iesākumā uz mums.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even 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.”
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘Yochanan indeed immersed in water, but you will 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 to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who 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.”
When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance 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.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to 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.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, proclaiming the Lord Yeshua.
21 Un Tā Kunga roka bija ar tiem, un liels pulks ticēja un atgriezās pie Tā Kunga.
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.
The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. 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.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near 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 many people were added to the Lord.
25 Un Barnaba izgāja uz Tarsu, Saulu meklēt, un to atradis, viņš to noveda uz Antioķiju.
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look 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.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Messianic in Antioch.
27 Un tanīs dienās pravieši nāca no Jeruzālemes uz Antioķiju.
Now in these days, prophets came down 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.
One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 Un tie mācekļi apņēmās, kā kurš spēja, ko labu par palīgu sūtīt tiem brāļiem, kas dzīvoja Jūdu zemē.
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 To tie arī darīja, un tiem vecajiem to sūtīja caur Barnabas un Saula roku.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
