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.
When [the Governor and those who advised him] decided that it was time for us [(exc)] to get on a ship and go to Italy, they put Paul and some other prisoners into the hands/care of an army captain whose name was Julius. [He was the one who would guard us on the journey]. Julius was [an officer] in charge of [a group of] 100 [soldiers that people called] ‘the Emperor Augustus Group’.
2 Un vienā Adramitijas laivā kāpuši, mēs gribējām Āzijas pilsētām iet garām, un aizcēlāmies, un Aristarks, tas Maķedonietis no Tesalonikas, bija mums līdz.
So we got on a ship that had come from Adramyttium [city in Asia province. The ship] was going to [return there, stopping at] cities along the coast of Asia [province]. Aristarchus, [a fellow believer who was] from Thessalonica [city] in Macedonia [province], 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 day after [the ship sailed], we arrived at Sidon [city]. Julius kindly told Paul that he could go and see his friends [who lived there], so that they could give him whatever he might need. [So Paul visited the believers there].
4 Un mēs no turienes aizcēlušies braucām apakš Kipras, jo vēji mums bija pretī.
Then the ship left [Sidon], but the winds were blowing against us [(exc)], so [the ship] went along [the north] side of Cyprus [Island], the side that is sheltered [from the wind].
5 Un gar Ķiliķiju un Pamfiliju pār jūru pārcēlušies mēs nācām uz Miru Liķijas zemē.
After that, we crossed over the sea close to the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia [provinces. The ship] arrived at Myra [city, which is] in Lycia [province]. [We got off the ship there].
6 Un tur tas kapteinis atrada vienu laivu no Aleksandrijas, kas gāja uz Itāliju, un lika mums tanī iekāpt.
In Myra, [people told] Julius that a ship [was there that had come] from Alexandria [city] and would [soon] sail to Italy. So he arranged for us to get [on that ship], [and we left].
7 Un mēs kādas dienas lēni braukdami un ar mokām pret Knidu nākuši, tāpēc ka vējš mūs nelaida, braucām gar Krietu pret Salmoni.
We sailed slowly for several days and finally arrived close to the coast [of Asia province], near Cnidus [town. After that], the wind [was very strong and] did not allow the ship to move straight ahead [westward. So instead], we sailed [southward] along the side of Crete [Island that is] sheltered [from the wind], and we passed [near Cape] Salmone.
8 Un ar mokām tur garām braukuši mēs nācām kādā vietā, ko sauc par krāšņu ostu, kur Laseas pilsēta bija tuvu.
[The wind was still strong, and it prevented the ship from moving ahead fast]. So we moved slowly along the coast [of Crete], and we arrived at a harbor that was called Fair Havens, near Lasea [town].
9 Kad nu labs laiks bija pagājis un braukšana jau bija bailīga, tāpēc ka arī gavēņu laiks jau bija pāri, tad Pāvils tos pamācīja,
Much time had passed, so it would have been dangerous if we [(exc)] had traveled [farther] by ship [because after that time of the year] [MTY] [the sea often became very stormy]. So Paul said to the men [on the ship],
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.”
“Men, I perceive that [if we(inc) travel by ship] now, it will be disastrous for us. A storm may destroy the ship and the cargo, and possibly we will drown.”
11 Bet tas kapteinis vairāk ticēja stūrmanim un kuģiniekam, nekā tam, ko Pāvils sacīja.
But the officer [did not listen to] what Paul said. Instead, he decided to do what the pilot [of the ship] and the owner of the ship advised.
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.
The harbor where the ship had stopped was not a good place to remain during the winter [when the weather frequently becomes stormy. So most of the people on the ship decided that we(exc) should leave there, because they hoped that we] could stay at Phoenix [port] during the winter, if we could possibly arrive there. That harbor was open to the sea in two directions, [but the strong winds did not blow there].
13 Un kad dienvidu vējš lēni pūta, tad viņiem šķita, ka savu nodomu panākuši, un enkurus uzvilkuši, tie laida jo tuvu gar Krietu.
Then a gentle wind began to blow [from the south], and the [crew members] thought that they could travel as they had decided [to do. So] they lifted [the anchor up out of the sea], and the ship sailed [westward] along the [southern] shore of Crete [Island].
14 Bet neilgi pēc tam viesuļa vējš, kas top saukts idus, pacēlās pret to salu.
But after a while, a wind that was very strong blew across the island [from the north side and hit the ship. That wind was called] {[People] called that wind} “the Northeast Wind.”
15 Un kad laiva tapa līdz aizrauta un nespēja pret vēju turēties, tad mēs to padevām un tapām nesti.
It blew strongly against the [front of] the ship. The result was that we could not keep going in the direction [in which we had been going]. So the sailors let the wind move the ship in the direction [that the wind] was blowing.
16 Un kad mēs pie vienas salas nācām, kas Klauda top saukta, tad mēs tikko varējām mazo laiviņu saturēt.
The ship then passed a small island named Cauda. We passed along the side [of the island that] sheltered [the ship from the wind]. Then [while the ship was moving along], the sailors lifted the lifeboat up [out of the water] and tied it [on the deck. But the strong wind made it] difficult even to do that.
17 To tie uzvilkuši, ar virvēm to laivu nostiprināja, un bīdamies, ka uz seklumu neuzklīstu, zēģeli nolaida zemē un mētājās.
After the sailors [hoisted/lifted] the lifeboat onto the ship, they tied ropes around the ship’s hull to strengthen the ship. The sailors were afraid that, [because the wind was pushing the ship], it might run onto the sandbanks off the coast of Libya to the south [and get stuck there. So] they lowered the largest sail [so that the ship would move slower. Even so], the wind continued to move the ship along. [The wind and the waves] continued to toss the ship about roughly, so on the next day the sailors began to throw overboard the things that the ship was carrying.
18 Un kad vētrā ļoti tapām mētāti, tad otrā dienā sāka lādiņu izmest.
19 Un trešā dienā mēs ar savām pašu rokām laivas rīkus izmetām.
On the third [day after the stormy wind had begun to blow], the sailors/we [MTY] threw overboard [most of] the sails, ropes, and poles, [in order to make the ship lighter].
20 Un kad kādas dienas ne saule, ne zvaigznes nespīdēja un liela auka mūs spieda, tad visa glābšanas cerība mums izzuda.
The wind continued to blow very strongly, [and the sky was full of dark clouds] day and night. We could not see the sun or the stars for many days, [so we could not determine where we were. And the wind] continued to blow violently. So we [(exc)] finally thought that we would drown in the sea.
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.
None of us on the ship had eaten for many days. [Then one day], Paul stood up in front of us and said, “[Friends], you should have listened to me [when I said] that we [(inc)] should not sail from Crete. Then we would have been safe, and the ship and its cargo would be in good condition [LIT].
22 Un tagad es jūs pamācu turēt drošu prātu, jo nevienam no jums dzīvība nezudīs, bet vien tā laiva.
But now, I urge you, do not be afraid, because none of us will die. [The storm] will destroy the ship but not us.
23 Jo šinī naktī man piestājās viens eņģelis no Tā Dieva, kam es piederu un kam es arī kalpoju,
I [know this], because last night God, the one to whom I belong and whom I serve, [sent] an angel [who came and] stood by me.
24 Sacīdams: “Nebīsties, Pāvil, tev būs nākt ķeizara priekšā, un redzi Dievs tev visus ir dāvinājis, kas līdz ar tevi ir laivā.”
The angel said to me, ‘Paul, do not be afraid! You [(sg)] must [go to Rome] and stand before the Emperor there [so that he can judge you]. I want you to know that God has made it clear to me that all those who are traveling by ship with you [will also survive].’
25 Tāpēc turat drošu prātu, jūs vīri: jo es Dievam ticu, ka tas tā notiks, kā man sacīts.
So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
26 Bet mēs tapsim izmesti pie kādas salas.”
However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
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.
On the fourteenth night [after the storm had begun, the ship] was still being blown {the wind was still blowing [the ship]} across the Adriatic sea. About midnight, the sailors sensed that the ship was getting close to land.
28 Un tie lodi izmeta un atrada divdesmit asis, un maķenīt tālāk atkal lodi izmetuši, atrada piecpadsmit asis.
So they lowered [a weight on a rope] to measure how deep [the water was]. When they pulled the rope up again, they measured it and saw that the water was (120 ft./37 meters) deep. They went a little farther and lowered the rope again. [That time], they saw that the water was [only] about (90 ft./28 meters) deep.
29 Un bīdamies, ka uz akmeņiem neuzklīstu, tie meta no laivas pakaļgala četrus enkurus un vēlējās, ka gaisma austu.
They were afraid that the [ship] might go onto some rocks, so they threw out four anchors from the [ship’s] stern/back and continued to wish/pray that it would soon be dawn [so that they could see where the ship was going].
30 Bet kad tie laivinieki meklēja no laivas bēgt un mazo laiviņu nolaida jūrā, melodami, ka no priekšgala enkurus gribot nolaist,
Some of the sailors were planning to escape from the ship, so they lowered the lifeboat into the sea. In order [that no one would know what they planned to do], they pretended [that] they wanted to lower some anchors from the [ship’s] front/bow.
31 Tad Pāvils uz to kapteini un tiem karavīriem sacīja: “Ja šie nepaliek laivā, tad jūs nevarat izglābties.”
But Paul said to the army officer and soldiers, “If the sailors do not stay in the ship, you have no hope of being saved.”
32 Tad tie karavīri tās laiviņas virves nocirta un lika tai nokrist.
So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
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.
Just before dawn, Paul urged everyone [on the ship] to eat some food. He said, “For the past 14 days you have been waiting and watching and not eating anything.
34 Tādēļ es jūs pamācu, barību ņemt; jo tas jums pašiem būs par labu; jo nevienam no jums ne mats no galvas nekritīs.”
So, [now] I urge you to eat some food. We [(inc)] need to do that in order to stay alive. I [tell you to do that because I know that] none of you will drown [IDM].”
35 Un to sacījis un maizi ņēmis, viņš Dievam pateicās visu priekšā un to pārlauzis iesāka ēst.
After Paul had said that, while everyone was watching, he took some bread and thanked God [for it. Then he broke the bread and began to eat some of it].
36 Un visi iedrošināti ņēma arī barību.
The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
37 Un mēs tanī laivā pavisam bijām divsimt un septiņdesmit un sešas dvēseles.
Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
38 Un paēduši tie laivu atviegloja, labību jūrā izmezdami.
When everyone had eaten as much as they wanted, they threw the grain [that the ship was carrying] into the sea, and this made the ship lighter.
39 Un kad gaisma ausa, tie to zemi nepazina, bet ieraudzīja vienu jūras līci, kura malā tie laivu gribēja pielaist, ja tik varētu.
At dawn, [we(exc) could see] land, [but the sailors] did not recognize [the place]. However, they could see that there was a bay and [a wide area of] sand at the water’s edge. They planned that, if it was possible, they would steer the ship onto [the beach].
40 Un tie enkurus nocirtuši palaida jūrā un turklāt stūra saites atraisījuši un zēģeli pa vējam pacēluši dzinās pie malas.
[So some of the sailors] cut the anchor [ropes and] let the anchors fall into the sea. At the same time, [other sailors] untied the [ropes that] fastened the rudders, [so that they could steer the ship again]. Then [the sailors] raised the sail at the front/bow of the ship so that the wind [would blow the ship forward], and the ship headed towards the shore.
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.
But the ship hit a sandbank. The front of the ship stuck there and could not move, and big waves beat against the back of the ship and it began to break apart.
42 Tad to karavīru padoms bija, tos saistītos nokaut, lai neviens izpeldēdams neizbēgtu.
The soldiers said [to one another, “Let’s] kill [all] the prisoners [on the ship], so that they will not [be able to] swim [away and] escape.” [They planned to do that because they were sure] that officials [would order them to be executed if they let the prisoners 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 [Julius], the army captain, wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers from doing what they planned to do. Instead, he [commanded] first that everyone who could swim should jump into the water and swim to land.
44 Un tiem citiem, vai uz galdiem, vai uz kādiem laivas gabaliem; un tā notika, ka visi izglābās un tika malā.
[Then he told] the others [to hold] onto planks or pieces from the ship [and go towards shore. We(exc) did what he said, and] in that way all of us arrived safely on land.
