Luke 18
1 [Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
Un Viņš tiem arī vienu līdzību sacīja, ka pienākas allažiņ Dievu lūgt un nepiekust,
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
Un sacīja: “Bija soģis kādā pilsētā, tas no Dieva nebijās un no neviena cilvēka nekaunējās.
3 There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
Un viena atraitne bija tanī pilsētā; un tā nāca pie viņa sacīdama: izdod man tiesu pret manu pretinieku.
4 For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
Un viņš ilgu laiku negribēja. Bet pēc viņš sacīja pie sevis: jebšu es Dievu nebīstos un no neviena cilvēka nekaunos;
5 but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
Tomēr, kad šī atraitne man gauži spiežas virsū, tad es tai gribu tiesu izdot, ka tā bezgala nākdama mani nenomāc.”
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: “Klausāties, ko tas netaisnais soģis saka.
7 [Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
Vai tad Dievs neizdos tiesu Saviem izredzētiem, kas dienām naktīm uz Viņu brēc, lai gan Viņš tiem liek gaidīt?
8 But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
Es jums saku: Viņš tiem tiesu izdos īsā laikā. Bet, kad Tas Cilvēka Dēls atnāks, vai Tas gan ticību atradīs virs zemes?”
9 [Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
Bet Viņš arī sacīja uz kādiem, kas uz sev pašiem paļāvās, ka esot taisni, un citus nicināja, šo līdzību:
10 [He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
“Divi cilvēki gāja Dieva namā Dievu lūgt, viens farizejs, otrs muitnieks.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
Tas farizejs nostājies lūdza, pats pie sevis šos vārdus sacīdams: es tev pateicos Dievs, ka es neesmu kā citi cilvēki, laupītāji, netaisni, laulības pārkāpēji, vai arī kā šis muitnieks.
12 [Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
Es gavēju divreiz nedēļā un dodu desmito tiesu no visa sava padoma.
13 But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
Bet tas muitnieks no tālienes stāvēdams negribēja nedz savas acis pacelt uz debesīm, bet sita pie savām krūtīm un sacīja: Dievs, esi man grēciniekam žēlīgs!
14 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
Es jums saku: šis nogāja savā namā taisnots pār to otru; jo kas pats paaugstinājās, tas taps pazemots, un kas pats pazemojās, tas taps paaugstināts.”
15 [One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
Un tie arī bērniņus atnesa pie Viņa, ka Viņš tos aizskartu, bet to redzēdami tie mācekļi tos aprāja.
16 But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
Bet Jēzus tos pieaicināja un sacīja: “Laidiet tos bērniņus pie Manis un neliedziet tiem; jo tādiem Dieva valstība pieder.
17 Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
Patiesi, Es jums saku: ja kas Dieva valstību nedabū kā bērniņš, tas nenāks tur iekšā.”
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Un viens virsnieks Tam jautāja un sacīja: “Labais Mācītāj, ko man būs darīt, lai es iemantoju mūžīgu dzīvošanu?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
Un Jēzus uz to sacīja: “Ko tu Mani sauci par labu? neviens nav labs kā vien Tas Vienīgais Dievs.
20 [But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
Tu tos baušļus zini: tev nebūs laulību pārkāpt; tev nebūs nokaut; tev nebūs zagt; tev nebūs nepatiesu liecību dot; godā savu tēvu un savu māti.”
21 The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
Bet tas sacīja: “Visu to esmu turējis no pašas jaunības.”
22 When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Bet Jēzus to dzirdēdams uz to sacīja: “Vienas lietas tev vēl trūkst; pārdod visu, kas tev ir un izdali nabagiem; tad tev manta būs debesīs, un nāc un staigā Man pakaļ.”
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Bet, šos vārdus dzirdot, tas ļoti noskuma, jo viņš bija ļoti bagāts.
24 Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
Un Jēzus redzēdams, ka tas bija noskumis, sacīja: “Cik grūti bagātie ieies Dieva valstībā?
25 [You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Jo vieglāki ir, kamielim iet caur adatas aci, nekā bagātam ieiet Dieva valstībā!”
26 [The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
Tad tie, kas to dzirdēja, sacīja: “Kas tad var kļūt Dieva valstībā?”
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
Bet Viņš sacīja: “Kas cilvēkiem neiespējams, tas Dievam iespējams.”
28 Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
Un Pēteris sacīja: “Redzi, mēs visu esam atstājuši un Tev pakaļ gājuši.”
29 He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
Un Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Patiesi, Es jums saku: neviens nav, kas atstājis mājas vai vecākus vai brāļus vai sievu vai bērnus Dieva valstības dēļ,
31 [Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
Un tos divpadsmit pie Sevis ņēmis, Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Redzi, mēs noejam uz Jeruzālemi, un viss taps piepildīts, ko pravieši rakstījuši par To Cilvēka Dēlu.
32 I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
Jo Viņš taps nodots pagāniem un taps apmēdīts un lamāts un apspļaudīts;
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
Un tie To šaustīs un nokaus, un trešā dienā Viņš atkal augšām celsies.”
34 But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
Bet viņi nesaprata no tā nenieka, un šī valoda viņiem bija apslēpta, un nesaprata to, kas bija sacīts.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
Bet gadījās, Viņam tuvu klāt nākot pie Jērikus, viens akls sēdēja ceļmalā un nabagoja.
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
Bet kad tas tos ļaudis dzirdēja garām ejam, tad tas jautāja, kas tur esot.
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
Un viņi tam atbildēja: “Jēzus no Nacaretes iet garām.”
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Tad tas brēca un sacīja: “Jēzu, Dāvida dēls, apžēlojies par mani!”
39 Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Bet tie, kas priekšā gāja, to apsauca, lai būtu klusu. Bet viņš vēl vairāk brēca: “Tu Dāvida dēls, apžēlojies par mani!”
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
Bet Jēzus apstājās un pavēlēja, to atvest pie Sevis; bet kad tie to pie Viņa bija atveduši, tad Viņš to jautāja,
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
Sacīdams: “Ko tu gribi, lai Es tev daru?” Viņš atbildēja: “Kungs, ka varu redzēt.”
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
Un Jēzus uz to sacīja: “Esi redzīgs, tava ticība tev palīdzējusi.”
43 Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
Un tūdaļ viņš tapa redzīgs un Tam staigāja pakaļ, Dievu teikdams. Un visi ļaudis, kas to redzēja, slavēja Dievu.
