Apustuļu Darbi 18
1 Un pēc tam Pāvils aizgāja no Atēnas un nāca uz Korintu,
After that, Paul left Athens [city] and went to Corinth [city].
2 Un atrada kādu Jūdu, ar vārdu Aķilu, pēc dzimtenes no Pontus, kas nesen ar Prisķilu, savu sievu, no Itālijas bija atnācis, (tāpēc ka ķeizars Klaudijs bija pavēlējis, visiem Jūdiem iziet no Romas), un iegāja pie tiem.
There he met a Jew whose name was Aquila, who grew up in Pontus [province]. Aquila and his wife Priscilla had recently come from [Rome, in] Italy. [They had previously left Rome] because Claudius, [the Roman Emperor], had ordered that all the Jews must leave Rome. Paul later went to see Aquila and Priscilla.
3 Un ar to vienādā amatā būdams viņš pie tiem palika un strādāja; jo tie savā amatā bija telšu taisītāji.
Those two made tents [to earn] ([money/a living]). Paul also made tents, so he stayed with them, and they all worked together.
4 Un viņš ik svētdienas mācīja baznīcā un pārliecināja gan Jūdus, gan Ģrieķus.
Every Sabbath, Paul [went] to the Jewish meeting place, where he spoke forcefully to both Jews and non-Jews. He repeatedly tried to persuade them [that Jesus is the Messiah].
5 Un kad Sīlas un Timotejs no Maķedonijas bija atnākuši, tad Pāvils garā tapa piespiests, tiem Jūdiem apliecināt, ka Jēzus esot Tas Kristus.
Then Silas and Timothy arrived there from Macedonia province. After they arrived, Paul [did not make tents any more. He] used all his time preaching [the message about Jesus in the Jewish meeting place]. He continued to tell the Jews [that] the Messiah they had been waiting for was Jesus.
6 Bet kad tie turējās pretī un zaimoja, tad viņš drēbes izkratījis uz tiem sacīja: jūsu asinis uz jūsu galvu! Es esmu skaidrs, no šā laika es iešu pie tiem pagāniem.
But the Jews began to oppose Paul and to say evil things about him. So he shook [the dust from] his clothes [to show them that they were displeasing God. Then] he said to them, “If God punishes you, it will be your [SYN] own fault [MTY], not mine! From now on I will go [and preach] to non-Jewish people!”
7 Un no turienes aizgājis tas nāca kāda cilvēka namā, kam bija vārds Justs, un tas Dievu bijās, un viņa nams pie baznīcas bija tuvu klāt.
So Paul left [the Jewish meeting place] and went into a house that was next to it, [and preached there]. Titius Justus, the owner of the house, was a non-Jewish man who had accepted what the Jews believe.
8 Bet Krispus, tas baznīcas virsnieks, ticēja uz To Kungu ar visu savu namu, un daudz no Korintiešiem, viņu dzirdēdami, ticēja un tapa kristīti.
[After that], the ruler of the Jewish meeting place, [whose name was] Crispus, and all of his family [MTY] believed in the Lord [Jesus]. Many other people in Corinth who listened [to Paul] also believed [in Jesus]. Then they were baptized. [But there were people who still opposed Paul and his preaching].
9 Un Tas Kungs naktī caur vienu parādīšanu uz Pāvilu sacīja: “Nebīsties, bet runā un neciet klusu.
One night Paul had a vision in which the Lord [Jesus] said to him, “Do not be afraid [of those who oppose you]. Instead, you should continue speaking [to people about me]. Do not stop,
10 Jo Es esmu ar tevi, un neviens necelsies pret tevi, ļaunu tev darīt; jo Man ir daudz ļaužu šinī pilsētā.”
because I [will help] you, and no one will be able to harm you [(sg) here. Keep telling people about me], because there are many in this city who will [believe in] me.”
11 Un viņš tur sabija gadu un sešus mēnešus, Dieva vārdu pie viņiem mācīdams.
So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching people the message from God [about Jesus].
12 Un kad Gallions Akajā bija zemes soģis, tad tie Jūdi vienā prātā cēlās pret Pāvilu, un to veda priekš soģa krēsla,
When Gallio was the [Roman] governor of Achaia [province], the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there got together and seized Paul. They took him before Gallio [and accused him],
13 Sacīdami: ‘Šis tos ļaudis pārrunā Dievam kalpot pret bauslību.”
saying, “This man is teaching people [a false religion, leading them] to worship God in ways that are contrary to our [Jewish] laws.”
14 Bet kad Pāvils muti gribēja atvērt, Gallions uz tiem Jūdiem sacīja: “Ja tur būtu kāds netaisns darbs jeb blēņu lieta, jūs Jūdi, tad es jūs labprāt klausītu.
When Paul was about to speak [MTY] [to defend himself], Gallio said to the Jews, “If this man had acted deceitfully or disobeyed [any of our Roman] laws, I would listen [patiently] to what you Jews [want to tell me].
15 Bet kad nu jautāšana ir par mācību un vārdiem un bauslību, kas jums ir, tad lūkojiet jūs paši, jo es par to negribu būt tiesātājs.”
However, you are merely arguing about words and names and your own [Jewish] laws, so you yourselves need to resolve this. I refuse to judge these things!”
16 Un viņš tos dzina nost no soģa krēsla.
After Gallio [had said that], he [commanded some soldiers/guards] that [they] expel those [Jewish leaders] from the courtroom.
17 Bet visi Grieķi ņēma Sostenu, to baznīcas virsnieku, un to kūla priekš soģa krēsla, un Gallions par to neko nebēdāja.
Then [the mob outside] grabbed the leader of the Jewish meeting place, Sosthenes [because they considered that he was responsible for those accusations against Paul]. They beat him, right there in front of the courthouse. But Gallio did nothing about it.
18 Un Pāvils vēl daudz dienas tur palicis, no tiem brāļiem atvadījās, un cēlās pāri uz Sīriju, un līdz ar viņu Prisķila un Aķila, kas Kenhrejā savu galvu bija apcirpis: jo to bija solījies.
Paul stayed on with the believers in Corinth for (many days/some time). Then he left the believers there, and went with Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila. They went down to Cenchrea, [a port city]. There Paul had his head shaved {[someone] shave his head} in order to partially complete a vow that he had taken. Then they got on a ship and sailed for Syria [province].
19 Un viņš nonāca uz Efesu un tos tur atstāja, bet pats iegāja baznīcā un sarunājās ar tiem Jūdiem.
They arrived at Ephesus [city], and Priscilla and Aquila stayed there. [Before Paul left Ephesus], he entered the Jewish meeting place and lectured to the Jews.
20 Un kad tie viņu lūdza, ilgāki pie tiem palikt, tad viņš negribēja,
They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
21 Bet šķīrās no tiem sacīdams: “Nākamie svētki man visādā vīzē jāsvētī Jeruzālemē, bet es atkal atgriezīšos pie jums, ja Dievs grib;” un viņš aizcēlās no Efesus.
But, as he left, he told them, “I will come back, if God wills/desires [me to do that].” Then, [because he wanted to be in Jerusalem to finish completing his vow], he got on [a ship that] sailed from Ephesus.
22 Un uz Cezareju nācis viņš nogāja un apsveicināja to draudzi un devās uz Antioķiju.
When the ship arrived at Caesarea, Paul [got off. He] went up [to Jerusalem] and greeted the believers there. Then he went back down to Antioch [city in Syria province].
23 Un tur kādu laiku palicis, viņš izgāja un pēc kārtas pārstaigāja Galatijas un Friģijas tiesu un stiprināja visus mācekļus.
Paul spent some time [with the believers] there. Then he left Antioch and traveled to several towns [that he had visited previously] in Galatia and Phrygia [provinces]. He taught all of the believers more [of the message from God about Jesus].
24 Bet viens Jūdu vīrs, ar vārdu Apollus, dzimis Aleksandriets, vīrs, varens vārdos, nonāca uz Efesu; tas bija spēcīgs rakstos.
[While Paul was traveling in Galatia and Phrygia], a Jewish man whose name was Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria [city]. He [spoke eloquently] and he knew the Scriptures thoroughly.
25 Šis bija mācīts Tā Kunga ceļā, un karstā garā tas runāja un mācīja skaidri visu no Tā Kunga, jebšu viņš Jāņa kristību vien pazina.
[Other believers] had taught him [some things] about how the Lord [Jesus desires that people] should conduct themselves, and he taught those things very enthusiastically [to people. He had heard about] some of the things that Jesus did and said, and he taught those facts accurately [to people. However, he was teaching incompletely about Jesus, because] he knew only what John [the Baptizer had taught people whom he] baptized.
26 Un tas iesāka droši runāt baznīcā. Un viņu dzirdējuši, Aķila un Prisķila viņu ņēma pie sevis un viņam vēl skaidrāki Tā Kunga ceļu izstāstīja.
Apollos went to the Jewish meeting place, and he told the people there very confidently the things that he had learned. When Priscilla and Aquila heard what Apollos taught, they invited him [to their home]. There they explained more accurately to him the way [that] God [gives people eternal life].
27 Un kad viņš gribēja noiet uz Akaju, tad tie brāļi tos mācekļus lūdza caur rakstiem, lai viņu uzņem; šis tur nonācis, daudz ir palīdzējis tiem, kas caur žēlastību ticēja.
When Apollos decided that he would like to go to Achaia [province], the believers in Ephesus told him that it would be good for him to do that. So they wrote a letter to the believers [in Achaia saying that they] should welcome Apollos. [So Apollos got on a ship to go to Corinth]. After he arrived, he greatly helped those whom [God] had kindly enabled to believe [in Jesus].
28 Jo viņš tos Jūdus stipri pārliecināja, visu ļaužu priekšā no tiem rakstiem pierādīdams, ka Jēzus ir Tas Kristus.
Apollos was vigorously arguing publicly with [the leaders of] the Jews while many other people listened. [By quoting] from the Scriptures, he proved to people that Jesus was the Messiah.
