Apustuļu Darbi 24
1 Un pēc piecām dienām tas augstais priesteris Ananija nonāca ar tiem vecajiem un ar kādu runātāju Tertullu; šie pie tā zemes valdītāja savu sūdzību pret Pāvilu pienesa.
Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with the elders and an attorney named Tertullus. They presented their case against Paul to the governor.
2 Un kad viņš tapa saukts, Tertullus iesāka viņu apsūdzēt sacīdams:
When Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began to present his case before Felix, saying, “Since we have experienced much peace because of yoʋ, and prosperity is coming to this nation by yoʋr foresight,
3 “Ka mēs caur tevi lielu mieru esam dabūjuši, un ka caur tavu uzraudzību daudz teicamas lietas šai tautai notiek, to mēs, viscienīgais Feliks, visādi un visās malās ar visu pateikšanu saņemam.
both in every way and in every place we acknowledge it, most excellent Felix, with the utmost gratitude.
4 Bet lai es tevi pārāk ilgi nekavēju, lūdzos, ka tu pēc tavas laipnības kādus īsus vārdus no mums klausītos.
But so that I may not detain yoʋ any further, I request that, in yoʋr forbearance, yoʋ would hear us briefly.
5 Jo mēs esam atraduši, ka šis vīrs ir mēris un trokšņa cēlējs starp visiem Jūdiem visā pasaulē un ka viņš ir tās Nacareju draudzes priekšnieks,
For we have found this man to be a pestilent fellow, an instigator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6 Kas arī apņēmies, Dieva namu apgānīt; to mēs tad arī esam grābuši un pēc savas bauslības gribējuši tiesāt.
He even tried to desecrate the temple, so we seized him.
7 Bet Lizijs, tas virsnieks, pienācis klāt, viņu ar lielu varu no mūsu rokām ir aizvedis.
8 Un viņa sūdzētājiem pavēlējis, pie tevis nākt; no tā tu pats visas lietas izklausinādams vari noprast, par ko mēs viņu apsūdzam.”
By examining him yoʋrself yoʋ will be able to learn the truth about all these accusations we are making against him.”
9 Bet tie Jūdi arīdzan runāja līdz, sacīdami, ka tas tā esot.
The Jews also joined in the accusation, claiming that these things were so.
10 Bet Pāvils, kad tas zemes valdītājs viņam ar roku bija metis, lai runā, atbildēja: “Tāpēc ka es zinu, tevi jau daudz gadus esam ieceltu par soģi pār šo tautu, tad es jo droši savu lietu aizbildināšu.
When the governor motioned for him to speak, Paul responded, “Knowing that yoʋ have been a judge over this nation for many years, I all the more cheerfully make my defense concerning these charges against me.
11 Tu vari dabūt zināt, ka nav vairāk nekā divpadsmit dienas, kamēr es uz Jeruzālemi esmu nācis, Dievu lūgt.
Yoʋ can ascertain that it has not been more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
12 Un tie mani nav atraduši nedz Dieva namā uz kādu runājam, nedz baznīcās, nedz pilsētā troksni ceļam.
Neither in the temple courts, nor in the synagogues, nor anywhere in the city did they find me arguing with anyone or stirring up a crowd.
13 Tie arī nevar pierādīt, par ko tie tagad mani apsūdz.
Nor can they offer any proof against me concerning the things of which they now accuse me.
14 Bet to es tev droši saku, ka es savu tēvu Dievam kalpoju pēc tā ceļa, ko tie sauc par atkāpēju ticību, ticēdams visu, kas bauslībā un praviešos rakstīts;
But I confess this to yoʋ, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is written throughout the Law and in the Prophets,
15 Un man ir uz Dievu tā cerība, uz ko šie arīdzan gaida, ka miroņi augšāmcelsies, gan taisniem, gan netaisniem.
having a hope in God, which these men themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the righteous and the unrighteous.
16 Un tāpēc es pats dzenos, vienmēr paturēt bezvainīgu zināmu sirdi Dieva un cilvēku priekšā.
Because of this I strive the way I do, always having a clear conscience before God and men.
17 Bet pēc kādiem gadiem es esmu nācis, mīlestības dāvanas savai tautai dot un upurus.
After being away for many years, I came to bring charitable gifts to my nation along with offerings.
18 Pie tam, kad es Dieva namā šķīstījos, kādi Jūdi no Āzijas mani atrada, bez drūzmas un bez trokšņa.
While I was doing this, some Jews from Asia found me in the temple courts as I was completing the rite of purification, without any crowd or commotion.
19 Tiem būtu pienācies tavā priekšā būt un sūdzēt, ja tiem kas būtu pret mani.
They ought to be here before yoʋ and make an accusation if they have anything against me.
20 Jeb lai šie paši saka, kādu netaisnību tie pie manis ir atraduši, kad es stāvēju augstās tiesas priekšā?
Or these men themselves should state what wrongdoing they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
21 Ja ne šā vienīga vārda dēļ, ka es priekš tiem stāvēdams saucu: miroņu augšāmcelšanās dēļ es šodien no jums topu tiesāts.”
other than this one thing that I cried out while standing among them: ‘It is regarding the resurrection of the dead that I am being tried by you today.’”
22 Un kad Feliks to dzirdēja, tad viņš to spriedumu pavilcināja, šo mācību jo labi zinādams, un sacīja: “Kad Lizijs, tas virsnieks, atnāks, tad es jūsu lietu izklausināšu.”
After hearing these things, Felix, who knew the facts concerning the Way in great detail, had them adjourn, saying, “When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.”
23 Un viņš tam kapteinim pavēlēja, Pāvilu sargāt un viņam atvieglošanu vēlēt un nevienam no viņa piederīgiem neliegt, viņam kalpot un pie viņa nākt.
Then he ordered the centurion to keep Paul in custody, but to allow him a certain measure of freedom and not to prevent his own people from attending to his needs or visiting him.
24 Un pēc kādām dienām Feliks atnāca ar Druzillu, savu sievu, kas bija no Jūdu cilts, un sūtīja pēc Pāvila un klausījās viņa mācību par ticību uz Kristu.
After several days, when Felix came back with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ.
25 Un kad viņš runāja par taisnību un šķīstību un nākamo sodību, tad Feliks pārbijās un atbildēja: “Šo reiz tu vari iet; kad man atkal būs vaļas, tad es tevi aicināšu.”
But as Paul was discussing righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said in response, “Go away for now, and when I get an opportunity I will call for yoʋ.”
26 Bet tas turklāt arī cerēja, ka tam nauda no Pāvila taps dota, lai viņu atlaistu. Tādēļ tas arī dažreiz pēc viņa sūtīja un ar viņu runāja.
At the same time he was hoping that Paul would give him money, so that he might release him. So he would send for Paul quite often and converse with him.
27 Un kad divi gadi bija pagājuši, tad Porcius Festus nāca Felika vietā, un Feliks gribēdams tiem Jūdiem ko pa prātam darīt, Pāvilu pameta cietumā.
But after two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in prison.
