Apustuļu Darbi 25
1 Tad nu Festus, to zemes valdību uzņēmis, gāja pēc trim dienām no Cezarejas uz Jeruzālemi.
Festus therefore, being come into the province, after three days went up from Cesarea to Jerusalem.
2 Un tur viņam tas augstais priesteris un tie augstākie no tiem Jūdiem sūdzēja pret Pāvilu un viņu lūdza,
And the high-priest and principal men among the Jews, appeared before him against Paul, and made application to him,
3 Želastības prasīdami pret viņu, ka tas viņu uz Jeruzālemi sūtītu, glūnēdami, ka viņu uz ceļa nokautu.
begging the favor of him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; for they were preparing an ambush to kill him by the way.
4 Tad Festus atbildēja, ka Pāvils topot sargāts Cezarejā, un ka viņš pats gribot drīz turp aiziet.
But Festus answered, that Paul was in custody at Cesarea, and that he himself should go thither soon.
5 Kas nu jūsu starpā to var (tā viņš sacīja), tie lai līdz noiet un to apsūdz, ja kāda vaina ir pie šā vīra.
Therefore, said he, let those of you who are able, go down with me, and if there be any thing bad in this man, let them accuse him.
6 Un kad viņš pie tiem vairāk kā desmit dienas bija palicis, tad viņš nāca uz Cezareju un otrā dienā, uz soģa krēsla sēdēdams, viņš pavēlēja, Pāvilu atvest.
And when he had staid among them more than ten days, he went down to Cesarea, and the next day sitting on the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought before him.
7 Un kad tas bija atnācis, tad tie no Jeruzālemes nākušie Jūdi apkārt stāvēja, daudz un grūtas vainas pret Pāvilu nesdami, ko tie nevarēja pierādīt.
And when he was come, the Jews that came down from Jerusalem, stood round about, bringing many heavy charges against Paul, which they were not able to prove:
8 Jo tas tā aizbildinājās: “Es neko neesmu grēkojis, ne pret Jūdu bauslību, ne pret Dieva namu, ne pret ķeizaru.”
he answering in his own defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Cesar have I committed any offence.
9 Bet Festus gribēdams tiem Jūdiem pa prātam darīt, atbildēja un uz Pāvilu sacīja: “Vai tu gribi uz Jeruzālemi iet, lai es tevi tur tiesāju par šīm lietām?”
But Festus, being desirous to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there to be tried concerning these things before me?
10 Bet Pāvils sacīja: “Es stāvu priekš ķeizara soģa krēsla, tur man pienākas tapt tiesātam, tiem Jūdiem es nekādu netaisnību neesmu darījis, kā arī tu jo labi zini.
Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as thou very well knowest.
11 Bet ja es netaisnību esmu darījis un nāvi kaut kā pelnījis, tad es neliedzos mirt; bet ja tas nav nekas, par ko tie mani apsūdz, tad neviens pēc viņu patikšanas mani viņiem nevar nodot. Es ķeizaru piesaucu.”
For if I am indeed doing them wrong, and have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be nothing in what these men accuse me of, no one can give me up to them.
12 Tad Festus ar tiem runas kungiem sarunājies atbildēja: “Ķeizaru tu esi piesaucis, pie ķeizara tev būs noiet.”
I appeal to Cesar. Then Festus, conferring with his council, answered, Hast thou appealed to Cesar? to Cesar thou shalt go.
13 Bet kad kādas dienas bija pagājušās, tad ķēniņš Agrippa un Berniķe nāca uz Cezareju, Festu apsveicināt.
And some days after king Agrippa and Bernice came to Cesarea to salute Festus.
14 Un kad tie kādas dienas tur bija pakavējušies, Festus ķēniņam stāstīja Pāvila lietas sacīdams: “Še ir viens vīrs no Felika atstāts cietumā;
And as they spent several days there, Festus related Paul's case to the king, saying, There is a man left in custody by Felix: concerning whom,
15 Par to, kad es biju Jeruzālemē, tie augstie priesteri un Jūdu vecaji pienesa sūdzību un lūdza spriedumu pret viņu;
when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews appeared in court, desiring judgement against him.
16 Tiem es atbildēju: Romiešiem nav ieradums, kādu cilvēku nodot uz nomaitāšanu, pirms tas, kas apsūdzēts, tos sūdzētājus nav redzējis savā priekšā un nav vaļu dabūjis par to sūdzību aizbildināties.
To whom I answered, it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction, till he that is accused have the accusers face to face, and have an opportunity of making his defence concerning the accusation.
17 Kad nu tie šeitan bija sanākuši, tad es bez nekādas kavēšanās otrā dienā uz soģa krēsla sēdēdams pavēlēju, to vīru atvest;
Therefore when they were come hither, making no delay, I sat on the tribunal the next day, and ordered the man to be brought before me.
18 Pret to tie sūdzētāji stāvēdami nekādu lietu nav pienesuši, ko es par ļaunu būtu uzskatījis.
Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed they would:
19 Bet tiem bija kādas apjautāšanas pret viņu par savu pašu māņu ticību un par kādu Jēzu, kas esot nomiris, par ko Pāvils sacīja, Viņu esam dzīvu.
but had certain questions against him concerning their own religion; and of one Jesus that was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20 Un šo strīdus lietu labi nesaprazdams, es sacīju: vai tas gribot uz Jeruzālemi iet un tur par šīm lietām likties tiesāties.
But I being in doubt as to the dispute concerning these matters, asked him, if he would go to Jerusalem, and there be tried concerning these things.
21 Bet kad Pāvils prasīja, lai uz paša ķeizara spriedumu taptu sargāts; tad es pavēlēju to sargāt, tiekams es viņu pie ķeizara sūtīšu.”
But when Paul appealed, to be reserved to the hearing of our sovereign, I ordered him to be kept till I could send him to Cesar.
22 Un Agrippa sacīja uz Festu: “Es pats arīdzan šo cilvēku gribētu dzirdēt;” un viņš sacīja: “Rīt tu to dzirdēsi.”
Then Agrippa said to Festus, I should be willing to hear the man myself. And he said, thou shalt hear him to-morrow.
23 Tad nu otrā dienā, kad Agrippa un Berniķe ar lielu greznību nāca un ar tiem virsniekiem un tās pilsētas augstiem vīriem iegāja tiesas namā, Pāvils pēc Festus pavēles tapa atvests.
The next day therefore, Agrippa and Bernice coming with much pomp, and entering into the court, together with the chief officers, and men of greatest eminence in the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.
24 Un Festus sacīja: “Agrippa ķēniņ un visi jūs vīri, kas klāt esat, jūs šo redzat, par ko visa Jūdu draudze tā Jeruzālemē kā arī šeitan mani ir piesaukusi un brēc, ka tam nebūs vairs dzīvot.
And Festus said, "King Agrippa and all that are here present with us, ye see this man, concerning whom all the Jews have applied to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out, that he ought not to live.
25 Bet es esmu atradis, ka tas neko nav darījis, ar ko nāvi būtu pelnījis; un tādēļ, ka tas pats ķeizaru ir piesaucis, tad es esmu spriedis, viņu sūtīt.
But when I found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and as he himself has appealed to the emperor, I have determined to send him.
26 Bet man par šo nav nekādas skaidrības, ko Tam Kungam lai rakstu. Tādēļ es jums to esmu priekšā vedis un visvairāk tev, ķēniņ Agrippa, lai es pēc notikušas izklausīšanas zinu, kas jāraksta.
Concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to our sovereign: wherefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that after examination is made I may have somewhat to write.
27 Jo man šķiet, aplamu lietu esam, vienu saistītu sūtīt un tās vainas pret to neuzrādīt.”
For it seems to me absurd, to send a prisoner and not to signify the crimes laid against him."
