Apustuļu Darbi 17
1 Un caur Amfipoli un Apoloniju gājuši tie nāca uz Tesaloniku: tur bija viena Jūdu baznīca.
And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 Un Pāvils pēc sava ieraduma pie tiem iegāja un trijās svētās dienās ar tiem sarunājās par tiem rakstiem,
And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
3 Tos izstāstīdams un viņiem priekšā likdams, ka Kristum bija ciest un augšām celties no miroņiem, un sacija: “Šis ir Tas Kristus Jēzus, ko es jums pasludināju.”
Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you.
4 Un kādi no tiem tapa pārliecināti un piebiedrojās Pāvilam un Sīlasam, un no tiem dievbijīgiem Grieķiem liels pulks un laba tiesa sievu no augstas kārtas.
And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few.
5 Bet tie neticīgie Jūdi, skaudības pilni, ņēma pie sevis kādus saskrējušus neliešus un sapulcinājās un cēla troksni tai pilsētā; un Jazona namu apstājuši, meklēja tos vest priekš tā ļaužu pulka.
But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason’s house, sought to bring them out unto the people.
6 Bet tos neatraduši, tie Jazonu un citus brāļus vilka pie pilsētas virsniekiem brēkdami: “Tie, kas visu pasauli ar dumpi pilda, tie arī šurp ir nākuši.
And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also;
7 Tos Jazons ir uzņēmis; un šie visi dara pret ķeizara pavēlēm sacīdami: citu esam ķēniņu - Jēzu.”
Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
8 Un tie iztrūcināja tos ļaudis un tos pilsētas virsniekus, kas to dzirdēja.
And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
9 Bet šie, aizbildināšanu no Jazona un tiem dabūjuši, tos palaida.
And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
10 Bet tie brāļi tūdaļ naktī Pāvilu un Sīlasu izvadīja uz Bereju; tie tur nonākuši iegāja Jūdu baznīcā.
But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Un šie bija labvēlīgāki pār tiem Tesalonikas Jūdiem un to vārdu uzņēma ar visu labu prātu, meklēdami ikdienas rakstos, vai šās lietas tā esot?
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.
12 Tad nu daudzi no tiem ticēja, arī no Grieķu augstas kārtas sievām un vīriem laba tiesa.
And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
13 Un kad tie Tesalonikas Jūdi dabūja zināt, ka arī Berejā Dieva vārds no Pāvila tapa sludināts, tad tie nāca arī uz turieni un tos ļaudis skubināja uz dumpi.
And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.
14 Bet tie brāļi tūdaļ Pāvilu izsūtīja, ka tas noietu uz jūru, bet Sīlas un Timotejs tur palika.
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 Bet tie, kas Pāvilu pavadīja, to veda līdz Atēnai, un pavēli priekš Sīlasa un Timoteja dabūjuši, lai šie arīdzan pie viņa nāktu, tie aizgāja.
And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
16 Un kamēr Pāvils viņus gaidīja Atēnā, viņa gars iekš viņa iedegās, kad viņš redzēja to pilsētu tik elkadievīgu esam.
Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
17 Tad nu viņš baznīcā sarunājās ar tiem Jūdiem un tiem dievbijīgiem, un tirgū ikdienas ar tiem, kas piegadījās.
He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there.
18 Un kādi no Epikureju un Stoīku gudriem ar viņu sarunājās; un kādi sacīja: “Ko šis pļāpa grib runāt?” Un citi: “Šis izliekās kā svešu dievu sludinātājs;” tāpēc ka viņš tiem Jēzu un to augšāmcelšanos sludināja.
And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Un tie viņu ņēma un veda uz tās augstās tiesas vietu, sacīdami: “Vai nevaram dabūt zināt, kāda tā jaunā mācība, ko tu sludini?
And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
20 Jo tu dažas svešas lietas runā priekš mūsu ausīm, tāpēc mēs gribam zināt, kas tas ir?”
For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
21 Bet visi Atēnieši un tie svešinieki, kas tur piemājoja, ar citu neko to laiku nekavēja, kā vien ko jaunu runāt un dzirdēt.
(Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)
22 Un Pāvils stāvēja tās augstās tiesas plača vidū un sacīja: “Jūs Atēniešu vīri, pēc visa es jūs redzu jo dievbijīgus.
But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.
23 Jo staigādams un jūsu svētekļus apraudzīdams, es atradu arī vienu altāri, kam bija virsū rakstīts: nepazīstamam Dievam. Tad nu, ko jūs nepāzīdami godājiet, To es jums pasludināju.
For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you:
24 Tas Dievs, kas ir radījis pasauli un visu, kas tur iekšā, šis, debess un zemes Kungs būdams, nemājo rokām taisītās baznīcās,
God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Un Viņam arī nenotiek no cilvēku rokām kalpošana, tā kā Viņam ko vajadzētu; bet Viņš pats dod visiem dzīvību un dvašu un visas lietas.
Neither is he served with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things:
26 Un Viņš ir darījis, ka no vienām asinīm visas cilvēku tautas dzīvo pa visu zemes virsu, un ir nolicis papriekš nospriestus laikus un robežas, kur tiem būs dzīvot,
And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation.
27 Ka tie To Kungu meklētu, lai tie Viņu varētu just un atrast, - jebšu Viņš nav tālu no neviena no mums.
That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us:
28 Jo iekš Viņa mēs dzīvojam un kustam un esam; tā kā arī kādi no jūsu dziesminiekiem sacījuši: mēs arī esam Viņa rada.
For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
29 Tad nu mums, kas Dieva rada esam, nebūs domāt, dievību esam līdzīgu zeltam vai sudrabam vai akmenim, kādam caur cilvēka gudrību un izdomāšanu iztaisītam tēlam.
Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.
30 Tad nu Dievs tos nezināšanas laikus panesis, tagad pavēl visiem cilvēkiem visās malās no grēkiem atgriezties;
And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
31 Tāpēc ka Viņš vienu dienu ir nolicis, kur Viņš pasauli tiesās iekš taisnības caur vienu Vīru, ko Viņš uz to izredzējis, visiem ticību pasniegdams, kad Viņš to no miroņiem ir uzmodinājis.”
Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.
32 Bet kad tie dzirdēja miroņu augšāmcelšanos, tad citi to ņēma smieklā, bet citi sacīja: “Par to mēs tevi vēl kādu citu reiz dzirdēsim.”
And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
33 (Tukšs)
So Paul went out from among them.
34 Bet kādi vīri tam pieķērās un ticēja. Starp tiem bija Dionisijs, tās augstās tiesas loceklis, un viena sieva, ar vārdu Damare, un vēl citi līdz ar tiem.
But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
