Deuteronomy 8
1 You must take care to follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and have many descendants, and go in and take over the country the Lord promised to give to your fore fathers.
Visus tos baušļus, ko es tev šodien pavēlu, tev būs turēt un tos darīt, lai jūs dzīvojat un topat vairoti un nākat un iemantojat to zemi, ko Tas Kungs jūsu tēviem zvērējis.
2 Remember how for these forty years the Lord your God has led you all the way through the desert, humbling you and testing you in order to find out what you were really thinking, and whether or not you would keep his commandments.
Un tev būs pieminēt visu to ceļu, pa kuru Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi tuksnesī vadījis šos četrdesmit gadus, ka Viņš tevi pazemotu un pārbaudītu, ka Viņš zinātu, kas ir tavā sirdī, vai tu Viņa baušļus turēsi, vai ne.
3 He humbled you, and when you were hungry he gave you manna to eat, which nobody, including you and your forefathers, had ever had before This was in order to make it clear to you that human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Un Viņš tevi pazemoja un tev lika izsalkt un tevi ēdināja ar mannu, ko ne tu pazini, ne tavi tēvi nebija pazinuši, lai Viņš tev dotu atzīt, ka cilvēks nedzīvo no maizes vien, bet ka cilvēks dzīvo no visa, kas iziet no Tā Kunga mutes.
4 During these forty years your clothing didn't wear out and your feet didn't swell up.
Tavas drēbes tavā mugurā nav nodilušas, un tava kāja nav uztūkusi šinīs četrdesmit gados.
5 So you should realize that just as a parent disciplines their child, so the Lord your God disciplines you.
Tad nu atzīsti savā sirdī, ka Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi pārmāca, itin kā kāds savu dēlu pārmāca.
6 That's why you have to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, following his ways and respecting him.
Un turi Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, baušļus, staigādams pa Viņa ceļiem un bīsties Viņu.
7 For the Lord your God is taking you to a good country. It's a land of streams and pools and springs that flow through the valleys and down the hills;
Jo Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi, ved uz labu zemi, uz zemi, kur ir upes, avoti un ūdeņi, kas rodas ielejās un kalnos,
8 It's a land that produces wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey.
Uz zemi, kur ir kvieši un mieži un vīna koki un vīģes koki un granātu koki, uz zemi, kur ir eļļas koki un medus,
9 It's a land where you won't run out of food, where you will have everything you need; a land whose rocks contain iron ore and whose hills can be mined for copper.
Uz zemi, kur maizi ēdīsi bez trūkuma, kur tev nekā netrūks, uz zemi, kur akmeņi ir dzelzs, no kuras kalniem tu izcirtīsi varu.
10 When you eat and are full, make sure you thank the Lord your God for the good land that he's given you.
Kad tu nu ēdīsi un būsi paēdis, tad tev būs teikt To Kungu, savu Dievu, par to labo zemi, ko Viņš tev devis.
11 Make sure you don't forget the Lord your God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I'm giving you today.
Sargies, ka tu neaizmirsti To Kungu, savu Dievu, bet turi Viņa baušļus un Viņa tiesas un Viņa likumus, ko es tev šodien pavēlu;
12 For when you eat and are full, when you build beautiful houses to live in,
Ka tu, kad būsi ēdis un paēdis un labus namus uztaisījis un iekš tiem dzīvosi,
13 and when your herds and flocks grow larger, and your silver and gold accumulates, and all your possessions increase,
Kad tavi vērši un sīkie lopi būs vairojušies un tavs sudrabs un zelts vairojies un viss, kas tev pieder, būs vairojies -
14 then you will become proud, and you will forget the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
Ka tava sirds tad nelepojās, un tu neaizmirsti To Kungu, savu Dievu, kas tevi izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes, no tā vergu nama.
15 He guided you through the immense and terrifying desert with its poisonous snakes and scorpions—a dried up, waterless land. He brought water for you out of a flint rock.
Kas tevi vadījis tai lielā un briesmīgā tuksnesī, kur bija dedzīgas čūskas un skorpioni un izkaltušas vietas bez ūdens, kas tev lika izvirst ūdenim no cietas klints,
16 He fed you in the desert with manna that your forefathers had never known, humbling you and testing you, so that eventually you would do well in the future.
Kas tuksnesī tevi ēdināja ar mannu, ko tavi tēvi nebija pazinuši, ka Viņš tevi pazemotu un pārbaudītu, un pēcgalā tev darītu labu.
17 You might think to yourselves, “I became rich through all my hard work.”
Tad nesaki savā sirdī: mans spēks un manas rokas stiprums man ir devis šo mantu.
18 But remember it's the Lord your God who gives you the ability to become rich, in order to fulfill his agreement he promised to your forefathers that still exists today.
Bet piemini To Kungu savu Dievu, ka Viņš ir Tas, kas tev dod spēku, mantu dabūt, gribēdams Savu derību apstiprināt, ko Viņš zvērējis taviem tēviem, kā tas šodien ir.
19 If you ever forget the Lord your God, and run after other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, I assure you right now that you will definitely die!
Bet ja tu aizmirsīsi To Kungu, savu Dievu, un dzīsies pakaļ citiem dieviem, un tiem kalposi un priekš tiem metīsies zemē, tad es šodien pret jums apliecināju, ka jūs nīcin iznīksiet.
20 In the same way the Lord destroyed the nations as you advanced, you will also die if you don't obey the Lord your God.
Kā tās tautas, ko Tas Kungs jūsu priekšā iznīcina, tāpat jūs iznīksiet, tāpēc ka jūs neesat klausījuši Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsij.
