< Apustuļu Darbi 27 >
1 Un kad tas bija nospriests, ka mums bija pārcelties uz Itāliju, tad tie Pāvilu un kādus citus cietumniekus nodeva vienam karakapteinim, ar vārdu Julijus, no ķeizara karoga.
As it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were put in charge of a centurion of the Augustan Guard, named Julius.
2 Un vienā Adramitijas laivā kāpuši, mēs gribējām Āzijas pilsētām iet garām, un aizcēlāmies, un Aristarks, tas Maķedonietis no Tesalonikas, bija mums līdz.
We went on board a ship from Adramyttium, which was on the point of sailing to the ports along the coast of Roman Asia, and put to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.
3 Un otrā dienā mēs laidām malā pie Sidonas. Un Julijus laipnīgi pret Pāvilu turēdamies atļāva pie tiem draugiem iet, ka tas no tiem dabūtu apgādāšanu.
The next day we put in to Sidon, where Julius treated Paul in a friendly manner, and allowed him to go to see his friends and receive their hospitality.
4 Un mēs no turienes aizcēlušies braucām apakš Kipras, jo vēji mums bija pretī.
Putting to sea again, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the wind was against us;
5 Un gar Ķiliķiju un Pamfiliju pār jūru pārcēlušies mēs nācām uz Miru Liķijas zemē.
and, after crossing the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
6 Un tur tas kapteinis atrada vienu laivu no Aleksandrijas, kas gāja uz Itāliju, un lika mums tanī iekāpt.
There the Roman officer found an Alexandrian ship on her way to Italy, and put us on board of her.
7 Un mēs kādas dienas lēni braukdami un ar mokām pret Knidu nākuši, tāpēc ka vējš mūs nelaida, braucām gar Krietu pret Salmoni.
For several days our progress was slow, and it was only with difficulty that we arrived off Cnidus. As the wind was still unfavourable when we came off Cape Salmone, we sailed under the lee of Crete,
8 Un ar mokām tur garām braukuši mēs nācām kādā vietā, ko sauc par krāšņu ostu, kur Laseas pilsēta bija tuvu.
and with difficulty, by keeping close in shore, we reached a place called “Fair Havens,” near which was the town of Lasea.
9 Kad nu labs laiks bija pagājis un braukšana jau bija bailīga, tāpēc ka arī gavēņu laiks jau bija pāri, tad Pāvils tos pamācīja,
This had taken a considerable time, and sailing was already dangerous, for the Fast was already over; and so Paul gave this warning.
10 Uz tiem sacīdams: “Vīri, es redzu, ka tā braukšana notiks ar grūtumu un lielu postu, ne vien pie preces un laivas, bet arī pie mūsu dzīvības.”
‘My friends,’ he said, ‘I see that this voyage will be attended with injury and much damage, not only to the cargo and the ship, but to our own lives also.’
11 Bet tas kapteinis vairāk ticēja stūrmanim un kuģiniekam, nekā tam, ko Pāvils sacīja.
The Roman officer, however, was more influenced by the captain and the owner than by what was said by Paul.
12 Un kad tā mala nederēja, tur par ziemu mist, tad tā lielā puse padomu deva, no turienes aizcelties, vai nevarētu pie Feniķes kļūt, un tur par ziemu palikt; tā ir osta iekš Krietas un stāv pret dienvidu vēju un vakara vēju.
And, as the harbour was not a suitable one to winter in, the majority were in favour of continuing the voyage, in hope of being able to reach Phoenix, and winter there. Phoenix was a Cretan harbour, open to the north-east and south-east.
13 Un kad dienvidu vējš lēni pūta, tad viņiem šķita, ka savu nodomu panākuši, un enkurus uzvilkuši, tie laida jo tuvu gar Krietu.
So, when a light wind sprang up from the south, thinking that they had found their opportunity, they weighed anchor and kept along the coast of Crete, close in shore.
14 Bet neilgi pēc tam viesuļa vējš, kas top saukts idus, pacēlās pret to salu.
But shortly afterwards a hurricane came down on us off the land – a north-easter, as it is called.
15 Un kad laiva tapa līdz aizrauta un nespēja pret vēju turēties, tad mēs to padevām un tapām nesti.
The ship was caught by it and was unable to keep her head to the wind, so we had to give way and let her drive before it.
16 Un kad mēs pie vienas salas nācām, kas Klauda top saukta, tad mēs tikko varējām mazo laiviņu saturēt.
Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we only just managed to secure the ship’s boat,
17 To tie uzvilkuši, ar virvēm to laivu nostiprināja, un bīdamies, ka uz seklumu neuzklīstu, zēģeli nolaida zemē un mētājās.
and, after hoisting it on board, the men frapped the ship. But, afraid of being driven on to the Syrtis Sands, they lowered the yard, and then drifted.
18 Un kad vētrā ļoti tapām mētāti, tad otrā dienā sāka lādiņu izmest.
So violently were we tossed about by the storm, that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard,
19 Un trešā dienā mēs ar savām pašu rokām laivas rīkus izmetām.
and, on the following day, threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Un kad kādas dienas ne saule, ne zvaigznes nespīdēja un liela auka mūs spieda, tad visa glābšanas cerība mums izzuda.
As neither sun nor stars were visible for several days, and, as the gale still continued severe, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
21 Un kad tie ilgi nebija ēduši, Pāvils cēlās viņu vidū sacīdams: “Jums, ak vīri, būtu pienācies man paklausīt un neaizbraukt no Krietas un izsargāties no tāda grūtuma un skādes.
It was then, when they had gone a long time without food, that Paul came forward, and said, ‘My friends, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and so incurred this injury and damage.
22 Un tagad es jūs pamācu turēt drošu prātu, jo nevienam no jums dzīvība nezudīs, bet vien tā laiva.
Yet, even as things are, I beg you not to lose courage, for there will not be a single life lost among you – only the ship.
23 Jo šinī naktī man piestājās viens eņģelis no Tā Dieva, kam es piederu un kam es arī kalpoju,
For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom I serve, stood by me, and said –
24 Sacīdams: “Nebīsties, Pāvil, tev būs nākt ķeizara priekšā, un redzi Dievs tev visus ir dāvinājis, kas līdz ar tevi ir laivā.”
“Have no fear, Paul; you must appear before the Emperor, and God himself has given you the lives of all your fellow voyagers.”
25 Tāpēc turat drošu prātu, jūs vīri: jo es Dievam ticu, ka tas tā notiks, kā man sacīts.
Therefore, courage, my friends! For I believe God, that everything will happen exactly as I have been told.
26 Bet mēs tapsim izmesti pie kādas salas.”
We will, however, have to be driven on some island.’
27 Kad nu tā četrpadsmitā nakts bija nākusi, un mēs Adrijas jūrā tapām mētāti ap nakts vidu, tad tie laivinieki bijās, ka neuzdurtos uz kādu malu.
It was now the fourteenth night of the storm, and we were drifting about in the Adriatic Sea, when, about midnight, the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near land.
28 Un tie lodi izmeta un atrada divdesmit asis, un maķenīt tālāk atkal lodi izmetuši, atrada piecpadsmit asis.
So they took soundings, and found twenty fathoms of water. After waiting a little, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Un bīdamies, ka uz akmeņiem neuzklīstu, tie meta no laivas pakaļgala četrus enkurus un vēlējās, ka gaisma austu.
Then, as they were afraid of our being driven on some rocky coast, they let go four anchors from the stern, and longed for daylight.
30 Bet kad tie laivinieki meklēja no laivas bēgt un mazo laiviņu nolaida jūrā, melodami, ka no priekšgala enkurus gribot nolaist,
The sailors wanted to leave the ship, and had lowered the boat, on pretence of running out anchors from the bows,
31 Tad Pāvils uz to kapteini un tiem karavīriem sacīja: “Ja šie nepaliek laivā, tad jūs nevarat izglābties.”
when Paul said to the Roman officer and his men, ‘Unless the sailors remain on board, you cannot be saved.’
32 Tad tie karavīri tās laiviņas virves nocirta un lika tai nokrist.
So the soldiers cut the ropes which held the boat, and let her drift away.
33 Un kamēr gaisma ausa, Pāvils visus lūdza, lai barības pabauda, sacīdams: “Šodien ir tā četrpadsmitā diena, ka jūs gaidīdami paliekat neēduši un nekā neesat baudījuši.
In the interval before daybreak Paul kept urging them all to take something to eat. ‘It is a fortnight today,’ he said, ‘that, owing to your anxiety, you have gone without food, taking nothing.
34 Tādēļ es jūs pamācu, barību ņemt; jo tas jums pašiem būs par labu; jo nevienam no jums ne mats no galvas nekritīs.”
So I beg you to take something to eat; your safety depends on it, for not one of you will lose even a hair of his head.’
35 Un to sacījis un maizi ņēmis, viņš Dievam pateicās visu priekšā un to pārlauzis iesāka ēst.
With these words he took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving to God before them all, broke it in pieces, and began to eat;
36 Un visi iedrošināti ņēma arī barību.
and the men all felt cheered and had something to eat themselves.
37 Un mēs tanī laivā pavisam bijām divsimt un septiņdesmit un sešas dvēseles.
There were about seventy-six of us on board, all told.
38 Un paēduši tie laivu atviegloja, labību jūrā izmezdami.
After satisfying their hunger, they further lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
39 Un kad gaisma ausa, tie to zemi nepazina, bet ieraudzīja vienu jūras līci, kura malā tie laivu gribēja pielaist, ja tik varētu.
When daylight came, they could not make out what land it was, but, observing a creek in which there was a beach, they consulted as to whether they could run the ship safely into it.
40 Un tie enkurus nocirtuši palaida jūrā un turklāt stūra saites atraisījuši un zēģeli pa vējam pacēluši dzinās pie malas.
Then they cast off, and abandoned the anchors, and at the same time unlashed the gear of the steering oars, hoisted the foresail to the wind, and made for the beach.
41 Bet tie noklīda tādā vietā, kur uz abējām pusēm bija jūra, un laiva dauzījās, un priekšgals uzgāja uz sēkli un palika nekustināms, un pakaļgals tapa sadauzīts no viļņu varas.
They got, however, into a kind of channel, and there ran the ship aground. The bows stuck fast and could not be moved, while the stern began breaking up under the strain.
42 Tad to karavīru padoms bija, tos saistītos nokaut, lai neviens izpeldēdams neizbēgtu.
The advice of the soldiers was that the prisoners should be killed, so that none of them could swim away and make their escape.
43 Bet tas kapteinis, gribēdams Pāvilu izglābt, viņu padomam turējās pretī un pavēlēja tiem, kas varēja peldēt, papriekš ūdenī ielaisties un malā iet,
But the Roman officer, anxious to save Paul, prevented their carrying out their intention, and ordered that those who could swim should be the first to jump into the sea and try to reach the shore;
44 Un tiem citiem, vai uz galdiem, vai uz kādiem laivas gabaliem; un tā notika, ka visi izglābās un tika malā.
and that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on different pieces of the ship. In these various ways everyone managed to get safely ashore.
