Apustuļu Darbi 16
1 Un viņš nāca uz Derbi un Listru. Un redzi, tur bija viens māceklis, vārdā Timotejs, ticīgas Jūdu sievas dēls, bet no Grieķu tēva.
Paul [and Silas] to Derbe [city and visited the believers there]. Next [they went to] Lystra [city]. A believer whose name was Timothy lived there. His mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was a Greek.
2 Šim laba liecība tika dota no tiem brāļiem Listrā un Ikonijā.
The believers in Lystra and Iconium said good things about Timothy,
3 Pāvils gribēja, ka šis viņam ietu līdz; un viņš to ņēma un apgraizīja to Jūdu dēļ kas tanīs vietās bija, jo visi zināja, ka viņa tēvs bijis Grieķis.
and Paul wanted to take Timothy with him [when he went] to other places, so he circumcised Timothy. [He did that so that] the Jews who lived in those places [would accept Timothy], because they knew that his non-Jewish father [had not allowed him to be circumcised] {[anyone to circumcise his son]}.
4 Un kad tie pārstaigāja tās pilsētas, tad tie viņiem pavēlēja, tos likumus sargāt, ko tie apustuļi un vecaji Jeruzālemē bija nosprieduši.
[So Timothy went with Paul and Silas] and they traveled to many other towns. [In each town] they told [the] believers the rules that had been decided by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem {that the apostles and elders in Jerusalem had decided} that [non-Jewish] believers should obey.
5 Tad nu tās draudzes tapa stiprinātas iekš ticības, un viņu pulks jo dienas vairojās.
[God was helping] the believers in those towns to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus], and every day more people became believers.
6 Un tiem caur Friģiju un Galatiju ejot tapa aizliegts no Tā Svētā Gara, to vārdu iekš Āzijas runāt.
Paul and his companions wanted/planned to enter Asia [province] preach the message [about Jesus] there, but they were prevented by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit prevented them} [from going there. So] they traveled through Phrygia and Galatia [provinces].
7 Mizijā nākuši tie raudzīja uz Bitiniju iet, bet Tas Gars tiem neļāva.
They arrived at the border of Mysia [province] and they wanted to go [north] Bithynia [province]. But [again] the Spirit of Jesus showed them that they should not [go there].
8 Un gar Miziju gājuši tie nonāca uz Troādu.
So they went through Mysia [province] and arrived at Troas, a [port city. I, Luke, joined them there].
9 Un Pāvils naktī redzēja parādīšanu: viens Maķedoniets stāvēja, viņu lūgdams un sacīdams: “Nāc uz Maķedoniju un palīdzi mums.”
That night [God gave] Paul a vision in which he saw a man [who was a native] of Macedonia [province]. He was standing [some distance away], and he was earnestly calling to Paul, “[Please] come over [here] to Macedonia and help us!”
10 Un kad viņš to parādīšanu bija redzējis, tad mēs meklējām tūdaļ iziet uz Maķedoniju, nomanīdami, ka Tas Kungs mūs bija aicinājis, tiem evaņģēliju sludināt.
[The next morning] we [(exc)] immediately got ready to go to Macedonia, because we believed that God had called us to [go and] preach the good message to the people there.
11 Tad mēs nocēlušies no Troādas gājām tiešām uz Samotrāķiju un otrā dienā uz Neapoli;
So we [(exc)] got on a ship in Troas and sailed across [the sea] Samothrace [Island. We spent the night there], and the next day [we sailed again across the sea and arrived] at Neapolis [port/town].
12 Un no turienes uz Filipiem, kas ir tā lielākā pilsēta kādā Maķedonijas tiesā, kur ienācēji bija apmetušies. Un tanī pilsētā mēs palikām kādas dienas.
Then we [left Neapolis and] went [by land] to Philippi. It was a very important city in Macedonia [province, where many] Roman citizens lived. We stayed in Philippi several days.
13 Un tai svētā dienā mēs izgājām no pilsētas ārā gar upes malu, kur tie bija ieraduši Dievu lūgt. Un apsēdušies mēs runājām uz tām sanākušām sievām.
On the first (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [after we(exc) arrived], we went outside the city gate [down] to the river. We had heard [someone say] that [Jewish] people gathered to pray there. [When we arrived there, we saw] some women who had gathered [to pray]. So we sat down and began to tell them [the message about Jesus].
14 Un viena sieva, ar vārdu Lidija, purpura pārdevēja no Tiatiras pilsētas, dievbijīga sieva, klausījās. Tai Tas Kungs sirdi atdarīja, ņemt vērā, ko Pāvils runāja.
A woman whose name was Lydia was one of those who were listening [to Paul. She was a non-Jewish woman], from Thyatira [city, who bought and] sold [expensive] purple cloth. She had accepted what the Jews believe about God. The Lord [God] caused her to pay attention to the message that Paul preached, and she believed it. [The members of her household also heard the good message and believed in Jesus] [MTY].
15 Un kad tā ar savu namu bija kristīta, tad tā lūdza sacīdama: “Ja jums šķiet, ka esmu ticīga uz To Kungu, tad nāciet manā namā un paliekat tur.” Un tā mūs piespieda.
After [Paul and Silas] baptized Lydia and the others who lived in her house [MTY] {After Lydia and the others who lived in her house were baptized}, she invited us to [go and stay in] her home. She said, “You [(pl)] know that I [now] believe in the Lord [Jesus], so [please] come and stay in my house.” She persuaded us [to do that, so we(exc) stayed there].
16 Bet notikās, mums ejot Dievu lūgt, viena meita mūs sastapa; tai bija zīlētāja gars, un ar zīlēšanu tā saviem kungiem daudz peļnas pienesa.
Another day, while we [(exc)] were going to the place where people regularly gathered to pray, we met a young woman who was a slave. An evil spirit was enabling her to be a ventriloquist and to tell people what would happen [to them]. People paid a lot of money to [the men who were] her owners, in return for her telling them things that [she said] would happen [to them].
17 Šī Pāvilam un mums gāja pakaļ un brēca sacīdama: “Šie cilvēki ir Dieva, Tā Visu Augstākā, kalpi, kas jums pestīšanas ceļu sludina.”
This young woman followed Paul and the rest of us. She continually shouted, “These men serve the God who is the greatest [of all gods]! They are telling you how ([God] can save you [so that he will not punish you/to be] saved)”
18 Un to viņa darīja daudz dienas. Bet Pāvilam tas bija pretī un atgriezdamies tas uz to garu sacīja: “Jēzus Kristus vārdā es tev pavēlu iziet no tās.” Un viņš no tās izgāja tanī pašā stundā.
She continued to do that for many days. Finally Paul became irritated. So he turned [toward the young woman] and rebuked the evil spirit [that was in her. He said], “By the authority [MTY] of Jesus Christ, I command you [(sg)] to come out of this young woman!” Right away the evil spirit left her.
19 Bet viņas kungi redzēdami, ka viņu peļņas cerība bija zudusi, ņēma Pāvilu un Sīlasu un tos vilka uz tirgu pie tiem virsniekiem;
And then her owners realized that she could no longer earn money for them [because she could no longer predict what would happen to people, so they were angry]. They grabbed Paul and Silas and forcefully took them to the public square, to [the place where] the government authorities and [a lot of other people were gathered].
20 Un tos pieveduši pie tiem valdītājiem, viņi sacīja: “Šie cilvēki mūsu pilsētu sajauc, Jūdi būdami,
The owners [of the young woman] brought Paul and Silas to the city officials and told them, “These men are Jews, and they are greatly troubling [the people in] [MTY] our city.
21 Un sludina ierašas, ko mums, kas esam Romieši, neklājās nedz pieņemt, nedz darīt.”
They are teaching that we [(inc)] should follow customs that our laws do not allow us Romans to consider [to be correct] or to obey!”
22 Un tas ļaužu pulks cēlās pret tiem, un tie virsnieki tiem noplēsa drēbes un pavēlēja, tos ar rīkstēm šaust.
Many of the crowd joined [those who were accusing] Paul and Silas, and started beating them. Then the [Roman] authorities commanded [soldiers] to tear the shirts off Paul and Silas and to beat them [with rods/sticks].
23 Un daudz sitienus tiem devuši, viņi tos iemeta cietumā, un cietuma sargam pavēlēja, tos cieti sargāt.
[So the soldiers] beat Paul and Silas vigorously [with rods]. After that, they [took them and] shoved them into the prison. They told the jailer that he should lock them up securely.
24 Šis tādu pavēli dabūjis, tos iemeta tai dziļākā cietumā un viņu kājas apcietināja siekstā.
[Because the officials] had [commanded] him [to do that], the jailer shoved Paul and Silas into the cell that was farthest inside. [There, he made them sit down on the floor/ground and stretch out their legs]. Then he fastened their ankles in [grooves] between two large wooden beams, [so that Paul and Silas could not move their legs].
25 Un ap nakts vidu Pāvils un Sīlas Dievu lūdza un slavas dziesmas dziedāja, un tie, kas bija cietumā, uz viņiem klausījās.
About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying [aloud] and praising God by singing hymns. The [other] prisoners were listening attentively to them.
26 Tad piepeši liela zemes trīcēšana notika, tā ka cietuma pamati kustēja, un tūdaļ visas durvis atvērās, un visiem saites tapa vaļā.
Suddenly there was a very strong earthquake. It shook the entire jail [SYN] and its foundation [SYN]. [The earthquake caused] all the doors [of the jail] to open suddenly, and [caused] all the chains that fastened the prisoners to fall off.
27 Un tas cietuma sargs uzmodies un cietuma durvis redzējis atvērtas, izvilka zobenu un gribēja sevi pašu nonāvēt, domādams, tos cietumniekus esam izbēgušus.
The jailer woke up and saw that the doors of the jail were open. He thought that the prisoners had escaped. So he pulled out his sword in order to kill himself, [because he knew that the officials would kill him if the prisoners escaped].
28 Bet Pāvils ar stipru balsi brēca sacīdams: “Nedari sev ļauna, jo mēs visi esam šeitan.”
Paul [saw the jailer and] shouted to him, “Do not harm yourself! We [(exc) prisoners] are all here!”
29 Un viņš sveci prasījis, ieskrēja un drebēdams metās zemē priekš Pāvila un Sīlasa,
The jailer shouted [to someone] to bring torches/lanterns, [and after they brought them], he rushed into the jail and knelt down in front of Paul and Silas. [He was very afraid, so] much so that he was trembling/shaking.
30 Un tos izveda ārā un sacīja: “Kungi, ko man būs darīt, lai es mūžīgi dzīvoju?”
Then he brought Paul and Silas out [of the jail] and asked: “Sirs, what do I need to do to be saved [from being punished for my sins]?”
31 Un tie sacīja: “Tici uz To Kungu Jēzu Kristu, tad tu un viss tavs nams mūžīgi dzīvos.”
[They answered], “Trust in [what] the Lord Jesus [has done for you], and you will be saved {[God] will save you}, and the others who live in [MTY] your house will [also] be saved [if they believe in Jesus].”
32 Un tie runāja Tā Kunga vārdu uz viņu un uz visiem, kas bija tanī namā.
Then the jailer took Paul and Silas into his house, washed their wounds, and gave them a meal. [He woke up all the people in his house, and] Paul and Silas told all of them the message about the Lord [Jesus. They all believed in him]. Immediately [after that, the jailer and all his family were baptized] {[Paul and Silas] baptized the jailer and all his family}. They were very happy, because now they all believed in God.
33 Un viņš tos uzņēma tanī pašā nakts stundā un tiem brūces nomazgāja; un tūdaļ viņš tapa kristīts, pats un visi viņa piederīgie.
34 Un viņš tos veda savā namā, tos sēdināja pie galda un priecājās, ka viņš ar visu savu namu bija nācis pie ticības uz Dievu.
35 Kad nu gaisma bija aususi, tad tie virsnieki sūtīja sulaiņus, un lika sacīt: “Palaid šos cilvēkus.”
The next morning, the [Roman] officials commanded [some] police officers [to go to the jail to say to the jailer], “[Our bosses] say, ‘Let those [two] prisoners go [now]!’”
36 Un tas cietuma sargs Pāvilam pasludināja šos vārdus: “Tie virsnieki sūtījuši, lai jūs atlaiž. Tad nu izejiet un staigājiet ar mieru.”
[After the officers went and told that to] the jailer, he [went and] told Paul, “The [Roman] authorities have sent a message [(sg)] saying that I should release you [(sg)] and Silas [from prison]. So you [two] can leave [the jail] now. Now you can go peacefully!”
37 Bet Pāvils uz tiem sacīja: “Tie mūs, Romiešu cilvēkus, netiesātus visiem redzot ir šautuši un cietumā iemetuši, un tagad tie mūs slepeni izmet? Tā ne; bet lai viņi paši nāk un mūs izved.”
But Paul said to the police officers, “The authorities [commanded men to] beat us in front of a crowd before [those authorities] had learned if we [(exc)] had done anything wrong! Then they [ordered men to] shove us into jail! [But that was not legal, because] we [(exc)] are Roman citizens! And now they want [RHQ] to send us away secretly! We will not accept that! Those [Roman] officials must come themselves and [tell us that they are sorry], and take us out [of jail].”
38 Un tie sulaiņi atsacīja šos vārdus tiem virsniekiem: un tie bijās, dzirdēdami, tos esam Romiešus.
So the police officers [went and] told the city authorities [what Paul had said]. When those authorities heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid [that someone would report to more important officials what they had done, and as a result they would be punished] {[those officials would punish them]}.
39 Un nākuši viņi tos pārrunāja un tos izveda un lūdza, iziet no tās pilsētas.
So the city authorities came to Paul and Silas and told them that they were sorry for what they had done to them. The authorities brought them out of the jail, and repeatedly asked them to leave the city [soon].
40 Un tie no cietuma izgājuši, nogāja pie tās Lidijas; un tos brāļus redzējuši, tie tos pamācīja un aizgāja.
After Paul and Silas left the jail, they went to Lydia’s house. There they met with her and the [other] believers. They encouraged the believers [to continue trusting in the Lord Jesus], and then the two apostles left [Philippi].
