Apustuļu Darbi 14
1 Un notikās Ikonijā, ka tie kopā iegāja Jūdu baznīcā un tā runāja, ka no tiem Jūdiem un Grieķiem liels pulks ticēja.
At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish meeting place and spoke very convincingly [about the Lord Jesus]. As a result, many Jews and also non-Jews believed [in Jesus].
2 Bet tie neticīgie Jūdi paskubināja un iekaitināja pagāniem sirdis pret tiem brāļiem.
But [some of] the Jews refused to believe [that message, and] told the non-Jews not to believe it. They told the non-Jewish people that the message [about Jesus] was not true. As a result, [some of] the non-Jews became angry towards the believers [there].
3 Tad nu tie labu laiku tur palika un droši runāja, paļaudamies uz To Kungu, kas Savam žēlastības vārdam liecību deva un lika zīmēm un brīnumiem notikt caur viņu rokām.
So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed [people] that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.
4 Un tās pilsētas ļaudis šķīrās: citi bija ar tiem Jūdiem un citi ar tiem apustuļiem.
The people [who lived] in [Iconium] city strongly disagreed with each other [concerning the message about Jesus]. Some of them agreed with the Jews [SYN] [who did not believe that message]. Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.
5 Bet kad tur dumpis cēlās no pagāniem un Jūdiem līdz ar viņu virsniekiem, ka tie viņiem varu darītu un tos akmeņiem nomētātu,
Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [who opposed those two] talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would [kill Paul and Barnabas by] throwing stones at them.
6 Tad viņi to nomanīdami bēga uz Likaonijas pilsētām, Listru un Derbi, un uz tām apkārtējām vietām.
But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia [district. They went] to Lystra and Derbe [cities in that district] and to the area surrounding [those cities].
7 Un tur viņi evaņģēliju sludināja.
[While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
8 Un kāds vīrs Listrā sēdēja ar nespēcīgām kājām, tizls no mātes miesām, kas vēl nekad nebija staigājis.
[Once while Paul was preaching to people] in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When [his mother] bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.
9 Tas dzirdēja Pāvilu runājam. Un šis viņu uzlūkodams nomanīja, ka viņš ticēja un ka viņu var glābt,
He listened as Paul was speaking [about the Lord Jesus]. Paul looked directly at him and could see [in the man’s face] that he believed that [the Lord Jesus] could make him well.
10 Sacīja ar stipru balsi: “Celies stāvu uz savām kājām!” Un viņš uzlēca un staigāja.
So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
11 Un kad tie ļaudis redzēja, ko Pāvils bija darījis, tad tie pacēla savu balsi un sacīja Likaoniski: “Dievi palikuši cilvēkiem līdzīgi un pie mums zemē nonākuši.”
When the crowd saw what Paul had done, [they thought that Paul and Barnabas] [were/must be]) [the gods that they worshipped]. So they shouted [excitedly] in their [own] Lycaonia language, “[Look! These people are] the gods [that we(inc) worship! They] made themselves look like people and have come down [from the sky/heaven to help us]!”
12 Un tie sauca Barnabu par Jupiteru un Pāvilu par Merkuriju: tāpēc ka viņš bija tas runātājs.
They began to say that Barnabas was [probably the chief god, whose name was]. And [they began to say that] Paul was Hermes, [the messenger/spokesman for the other gods. They mistakenly thought that] because Paul was the one who had been speaking.
13 Un Jupitera priesteris, kas bija ārpus pilsētas, atveda vēršus un vainagus pie vārtiem un gribēja ar tiem ļaudīm upurēt.
Just outside [the gates of] the city there was a temple [where the people worshipped Zeus. The priest who was there heard what Paul and Barnabas had done, so he came] to the city gate, where many people had already gathered. He brought [two] bulls with wreaths [of flowers around their necks]. The priest and the other people wanted to kill the bulls [as part of a ceremony] to worship Paul and Barnabas.
14 Bet tie apustuļi Pāvils un Barnaba to dzirdēdami, saplēsa savas drēbes un ieskrēja ļaužu vidū saukdami
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about that, [and understood that the people thought that they were gods and wanted to sacrifice the bulls to worship them], they [were very distressed], so they tore their own clothes. They rushed among the people, shouting,
15 Un sacīdami: “Vīri, kāpēc jūs tā darāt? Mēs arīdzan esam tādi pat mirstami cilvēki kā jūs, kas jums to evaņģēliju sludinām, ka jums no šiem nelietīgiem būs atgriezties pie Tā dzīvā Dieva, kas ir radījis debesi un zemi un jūru un visu, kas tur iekšā,
“Men, (you must not kill those bulls [to worship us(dl)!]/why are you doing this?) [RHQ] [We are not gods]! We are just human beings like you! We have come to tell you some good news! [We have come to tell you about] God who is all-powerful. He wants you to stop worshipping other gods, because they cannot help you. This true God made the heaven/sky and the earth and the oceans and everything in it.
16 Kas pagājušos laikos visiem pagāniem ļāvis staigāt pa saviem ceļiem,
In the past, all of you non-Jewish people [worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to]. God let you worship them, [because you did not know him].
17 Jebšu Viņš Sevi nav pametis neapliecinātu, labu darīdams, no debesīm mums lietu un auglīgus laikus dodams, mūsu sirdis ar barību un ar prieku pildīdams.”
But he has shown us [LIT] [that] he acts kindly [toward us(inc)]. He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”
18 Un to runādami, tie ar mokām nomierināja tos ļaudis, ka tie viņiem neupurēja.
The people heard what [Paul] said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. [But finally, the people decided not to do it].
19 Bet no Antioķijas un Ikonijas Jūdi pienāca un tos ļaudis pārrunāja un Pāvilu akmeņiem mētāja, un to no pilsētas vilka ārā, domādami, viņu esam nomirušu.
[However], after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra [that the message Paul had been telling them] was not true. The people [who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews] throw stones at him [until he fell down, unconscious]. They [all] thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city [and left him lying there]. But some of the believers [in Lystra had followed them outside the city].
20 Bet kad tie mācekļi ap viņu bija sanākuši, tad viņš uzcēlās un iegāja pilsētā; un otrā dienā viņš izgāja ar Barnabu uz Derbi.
They came and stood around Paul, [where he was lying on the ground]. And Paul [became conscious! He] stood up and went back into the city [with the believers]. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas [left Lystra and] traveled to Derbe.
21 Un tai pilsētā evaņģēliju pasludinājuši un labu pulku par mācekļiem darījuši, tie griezās atpakaļ uz Listru un Ikoniju un Antioķiju,
They [stayed there several days and they kept telling] the people the good message [about Jesus]. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas [started on their way back. They] went again to Lystra. [Then they went from there] to Iconium, and [then they went] to Antioch [in Pisidia province].
22 Stiprinādami mācekļu dvēseles un pamācīdami, lai paliek iekš ticības, un ka caur daudz bēdām mums būs ieiet Dieva valstībā.
[In each city], they helped the believers [SYN] to become strong [spiritually], and they urged them to keep on trusting in [the Lord Jesus]. They told [the believers], “It is necessary that [we endure] people often persecuting us [(inc)] before we enter the place where God will rule [over us forever].”
23 Un tie viņiem ikvienā draudzē iecēla vecajus un ar gavēšanu Dievu lūguši tos pavēlēja Tam Kungam, uz ko tie bija ticējuši.
Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. [And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time] praying and (fasting/not eating any food). Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the [leaders and other believers] to the Lord [Jesus], in whom they had believed, [in order that he would care for them].
24 Un pārstaigājuši Pisidiju, tie nāca uz Pamfiliju.
After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
25 Un Pergā to vārdu runājuši, tie nonāca uz Attaliju.
[In that district], they [arrived] at Perga and preached God’s message [about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then] they went down [to the seacoast] at Attalia.
26 Un no turienes tie nocēlās uz Antioķiju, no kurienes tie Dieva žēlastībai bija pavēlēti uz to darbu, ko bija pabeiguši.
There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch [in Syria province]. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where [believers] had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go [to other places] and preach. [Antioch was the place where the believers] had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.
27 Un tur nonākuši un to draudzi sapulcējuši, tie stāstīja, kādas lietas Dievs pie tiem bija darījis, un ka Viņš pagāniem ticības durvis bija atvēris.
When they arrived in Antioch, they called the believers together. Then Paul and Barnabas told them all that God had helped them to do. [Specifically, they told them how God] had enabled [IDM] [many] non-Jewish people to believe [in Jesus].
28 Un tie tur palika labu laiku pie tiem mācekļiem.
Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
