Apustuļu Darbi 17
1 Un caur Amfipoli un Apoloniju gājuši tie nāca uz Tesaloniku: tur bija viena Jūdu baznīca.
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2 Un Pāvils pēc sava ieraduma pie tiem iegāja un trijās svētās dienās ar tiem sarunājās par tiem rakstiem,
Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from 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.”
explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
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.
Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
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 unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to 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.
When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
7 Tos Jazons ir uzņēmis; un šie visi dara pret ķeizara pavēlēm sacīdami: citu esam ķēniņu - Jēzu.”
whom Jason has received. These all act 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.
The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
9 Bet šie, aizbildināšanu no Jazona un tiem dabūjuši, tos palaida.
When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10 Bet tie brāļi tūdaļ naktī Pāvilu un Sīlasu izvadīja uz Bereju; tie tur nonākuši iegāja Jūdu baznīcā.
The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
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, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
12 Tad nu daudzi no tiem ticēja, arī no Grieķu augstas kārtas sievām un vīriem laba tiesa.
Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
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.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
14 Bet tie brāļi tūdaļ Pāvilu izsūtīja, ka tas noietu uz jūru, bet Sīlas un Timotejs tur palika.
Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed 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.
But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
16 Un kamēr Pāvils viņus gaidīja Atēnā, viņa gars iekš viņa iedegās, kad viņš redzēja to pilsētu tik elkadievīgu esam.
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
17 Tad nu viņš baznīcā sarunājās ar tiem Jūdiem un tiem dievbijīgiem, un tirgū ikdienas ar tiem, kas piegadījās.
So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
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.
Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached 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?
They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
20 Jo tu dažas svešas lietas runā priekš mūsu ausīm, tāpēc mēs gribam zināt, kas tas ir?”
For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to 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 the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
22 Un Pāvils stāvēja tās augstās tiesas plača vidū un sacīja: “Jūs Atēniešu vīri, pēc visa es jūs redzu jo dievbijīgus.
Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
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 as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
24 Tas Dievs, kas ir radījis pasauli un visu, kas tur iekšā, šis, debess un zemes Kungs būdams, nemājo rokām taisītās baznīcās,
The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell 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.
He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives 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,
He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
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 the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each 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, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have 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 then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
30 Tad nu Dievs tos nezināšanas laikus panesis, tagad pavēl visiem cilvēkiem visās malās no grēkiem atgriezties;
The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
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 has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him 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.”
Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
33 (Tukšs)
Thus 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 joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
