Acts 19 (GLK) · Opened

1Un kamēr Apollus Korintū bija, notikās, ka Pāvils, tās augšzemes vietas pārstaigājis, nāca uz Efesu, un kādus mācekļus atradis,While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the interior and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples

2Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Vai jūs Svēto Garu esat dabūjuši, kad jūs tapāt ticīgi?” Bet tie uz viņu sacīja: “Mēs neesam ne dzirdējuši, ka Svēts Gars ir.”and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?” “No,” they answered, “we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

3Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Uz ko tad jūs esat kristīti?” Un tie sacīja: “Uz Jāņa kristību.”“Into what, then, were you baptized?” Paul asked. “The baptism of John,” they replied.

4Bet Pāvils sacīja: “Jānis ir kristījis ar to kristību uz atgriešanos no grēkiem, tiem ļaudīm sacīdams, lai tic uz To, kas nākšot pēc viņa, tas ir, uz Kristu Jēzu.”Paul explained: “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”

5Un to dzirdējuši tie tapa kristīti uz Tā Kunga Jēzus vārdu.On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

6Un kad Pāvils tiem rokas uzlika, tad Svētais Gars uz tiem nāca, un tie runāja valodām un sludināja praviešu mācības.And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

7Un visi tie vīri bija kādi divpadsmit.There were about twelve men in all.

8Bet viņš baznīcā iegājis, droši mācīja kādus trīs mēnešus, sarunādamies un tos pārliecinādams par Dieva valstības lietām.Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.

9Un kad citi bija apcietināti un nepaklausīgi un par šo ceļu ļaužu priekšā nelabi runāja, tad viņš no tiem atstājās un atšķīra tos mācekļus, ikdienas sarunādamies kādā Tiranna skolā.But when some of them stubbornly refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way, Paul took his disciples and left the synagogue to conduct daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

10Un tā tas gāja divus gadus, tā ka visi, kas Āzijā dzīvoja, Tā Kunga Jēzus vārdu dzirdēja, gan Jūdi, gan Grieķi.This continued for two years, so that everyone who lived in the province of Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.

11Un Dievs lielus darbus darīja caur Pāvila rokām,God did extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul,

12Tā ka arī sviedru auti un citi auti no viņa miesām tapa nesti pie neveseliem; un slimības tos atstāja, un ļaunie gari no tiem izgāja.so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and the diseases and evil spirits left them.

13Un kādi no tiem Jūdiem, kas bija velnu izdzinēji un apkārt vazājās, uzdrīkstējās Tā Kunga Jēzus vārdu saukt pār tiem, kam bija ļauni gari, sacīdami: mēs jūs apdraudam no tā Jēzus puses, ko Pāvils sludina.Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits. They would say, “I command you by Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.”

14Tie nu, kas šo darīja, bija Sķevasa, Jūdu augstā priestera, septiņi dēli.Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.

15Un tas ļaunais gars atbildēja un sacīja: “To Jēzu es pazīstu un to Pāvilu es zinu; bet jūs, kas jūs tādi esat?”But one day the evil spirit responded, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”

16Un tas cilvēks, kam tas ļaunais gars bija, tiem uzlēca un tos pievarēdams tā darīja, ka tiem bija kailiem un ievainotiem jāizbēg no tā nama.Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. The attack was so violent that they ran out of the house naked and wounded.

17Un tas tapa zināms visiem Jūdiem un Grieķiem, kas Efesū dzīvoja; un visiem bailes uzgāja, un Tā Kunga Jēzus vārds tapa augsti teikts.This became known to all the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, and fear came over all of them. So the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.

18Un daudzi no tiem, kas bija palikuši ticīgi, nāca un izteica un izsūdzēja savus nedarbus.Many who had believed now came forward, confessing and disclosing their deeds.

19Un daudzi no tiem, kas māņu darbus bija darījuši, tās grāmatas kopā sanesa un sadedzināja visiem redzot; un viņu vērtību aprēķināja un saskaitīja piecdesmit tūkstošus sudraba grašus.And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books and burned them in front of everyone. When the value of the books was calculated, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.

20Tik varen auga un uzvarēja Tā Kunga vārds.So the word of the Lord powerfully continued to spread and prevail.

21Un pēc šiem notikumiem Pāvils garā apņēmās pārstaigāt Maķedoniju un Akaju un iet uz Jeruzālemi, sacīdams: “Pēc tam, kad tur būšu bijis, man arī Roma jāredz.”After these things had happened, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must see Rome as well.”

22Un uz Maķedoniju divus sūtījis, kas viņam kalpoja, Timoteju un Erastu, viņš pats kādu brīdi palika iekš Āzijas.He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed for a time in the province of Asia.

23Bet ap to laiku liels troksnis cēlās šīs mācības dēļAbout that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way.

24Jo viens, ar vārdu Demeteris, sudraba kalējs, no sudraba taisīja Dianas namiņus un gādāja tiem amata meistariem lielu peļņu.It began with a silversmith named Demetrius who made silver shrines of Artemis, bringing much business to the craftsmen.

25Šos, un šī amata strādniekus sapulcējis, viņš sacīja: “Vīri, jūs zināt: ka no šā darba mums ir sava pārtikšana;Demetrius assembled the craftsmen, along with the workmen in related trades. “Men,” he said, “you know that this business is our source of prosperity.

26Un jūs redzat un dzirdat, ka šis Pāvils ne vien Efesū, bet tik ne pa visu Āziju lielu pulku pārrunādams ir novērsis, sacīdams, ka tie nav dievi, kas rokām taisīti.And you can see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in nearly the whole province of Asia, this Paul has persuaded a great number of people to turn away. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all.

27Un tas ne vien mums tā var padarīt, ka šī mūsu peļņa ies mazumā, bet arī ka tās augstās dieves Dianas nams taps nievāts, un arī viņas augstība iznīks, kam taču visa Āzija un pasaule kalpo.”There is danger not only that our business will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”

28Bet to dzirdēdami, tie tapa dusmības pilni un sauca, sacīdami: “Augsta ir Efesiešu Diana.”When the men heard this, they were enraged and began shouting, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

29Un visa tā pilsēta tapa trokšņa pilna, un tie skrēja vienprātīgi uz teātri, līdz raudami tos Maķedoniešus Gaju un Aristarku, Pāvila ceļa biedrus.Soon the whole city was in disarray. They rushed together into the theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia.

30Un kad Pāvils gribēja iet pie tiem ļaudīm, tad tie mācekļi viņam to neļāva.Paul wanted to go before the assembly, but the disciples would not allow him.

31Bet arī kādi no Āzijas virsniekiem, viņa draugi būdami, pie tā sūtīja lūgdami, ka tas nedotos uz teātri.Even some of Paul’s friends who were officials of the province of Asia sent word to him, begging him not to venture into the theatre.

32Tad nu citi sauca šā, citi tā, jo tā draudze bija sajukusi, un tas lielais pulks nezināja, kādēļ kopā bija sanākuši,Meanwhile the assembly was in turmoil. Some were shouting one thing and some another, and most of them did not even know why they were there.

33Un Aleksandru no tā pulka izvilka, kad tie Jūdi viņu uz priekšu stūma; un Aleksandrs meta ar roku, gribēdams priekš tiem ļaudīm aizbildināties.The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander forward to explain himself, and he motioned for silence so he could make his defense to the people.

34Bet kad tie nomanīja, viņu esam Jūdu, tad visi vienā balsī sauca ap divām stundām: “Augsta ir Efesiešu Diana.”But when they realized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

35Un kad tās pilsētas rakstuvedējs to pulku bija klusinājis, tad viņš sacīja: “Jūs Efesus vīri, kurš cilvēks nezina, Efesus pilsētu esam tās augstās dieves Dianas un tā no debess kritušā tēla kopēju?Finally the city clerk quieted the crowd and declared, “Men of Ephesus, doesn’t everyone know that the city of Ephesus is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?

36Kad nu šīm lietām neviens nevar pretī runāt, tad jums pienākas ar mieru būt un nenieka aplam nedarīt.Since these things are undeniable, you ought to be calm and not do anything rash.

37Jo jūs šos vīrus esat atveduši, kas nav nedz tās svētās vietas laupītāji nedz jūsu dievietes zaimotāji.For you have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed our temple nor blasphemed our goddess.

38Ja tad nu Demeterim un tiem amata vīriem kāda lieta ir pret kādu, tad tiesas dienas top turētas un zemes soģi ir, lai viņi tur savā starpā sūdzās.So if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open and proconsuls are available. Let them bring charges against one another there.

39Bet ja jūs citu kādu lietu meklējiet, tad lai sapulcējās pēc likuma un lai iztiesā.But if you are seeking anything beyond this, it must be settled in a legal assembly.

40Jo mēs esam tai likstā, ka par to, kas šodien noticis, varam tikt apsūdzēti dumpja dēļ, un tomēr nekādas vainas nav, ar ko šo dumpi varētu aizbildināt.”For we are in jeopardy of being charged with rioting for today’s events, and we have no justification to account for this commotion.”

41Un to sacījis, viņš tos ļaudis atlaida.After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
