2 Corinthians 10
1 Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.
Bet es, Pāvils, pats jūs lūdzu caur Kristus lēnprātību un laipnību, es, kas klāt būdams jūsu starpā gan esmu pazemīgs, bet no tālienes drošs pret jums,
2 Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.
Es lūdzos, ka man pie jums nākot nevajadzētu būt bargam ar to drošību, ar ko es domāju pret citiem turēties, kam šķiet, ka mēs tā kā pēc miesas dzīvojam.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;
Jo mēs miesā staigādami, tomēr pēc miesas necīnāmies;
4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,
Jo mūsu karošanas ieroči nav miesīgi, bet spēcīgi Dieva priekšā, nopostīt tos stiprumus.
5 throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
Mēs izpostām tos padomus un visu, kas augsti ceļas pret Dieva atzīšanu, un savaldām visas domas, lai Kristum paklausa,
6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.
Un esam gatavi, atriebt ikvienu neklausību, kad jūsu paklausība būs tapusi pilnīga.
7 Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.
Vai jūs raugiet uz to, kas priekš acīm? Ja kāds no sevis paša tic, ka Kristum piederot, lai tas atkal pie sevis paša tā domā, ka, tā kā viņš pieder Kristum, tāpat arī mēs piederam Kristum.
8 For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
Jo lai es arī vēl vairāk lielītos ar mūsu varu, ko Tas Kungs mums devis jums par uztaisīšanu un ne par postīšanu, taču es nepalikšu kaunā;
9 that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.
Lai mani netur par tādu, kas jūs gribētu baidīt caur grāmatām.
10 For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”
Jo tie saka, ka tās grāmatas gan ir svarīgas un stipras, bet tas cilvēks pats klāt būdams nespēcīgs un viņa valoda nievājama.
11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
Tas tāds lai zin, kādi mēs no tālienes esam ar vārdiem grāmatās, tādi pat mēs arī klāt būdami ar darbu.
12 For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
Jo nedrīkstam pieskaitīties jeb sevi līdzināt tādiem, kas paši sevi uzteic; bet viņi paši pie sevis mērodamies un paši sevi ar sevi līdzinādami ir neprātīgi.
13 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
Bet mēs nelielīsimies pārlieku, bet pēc tā robežu mēra, ko Dievs mums ir nolicis, ka arī līdz pat jums esam nonākuši.
14 For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,
Jo mēs neizstiepjamies pārlieku, tā kā līdz jums nebūtu nonākuši, jo mēs arī līdz pat jums esam tikuši ar Kristus evaņģēliju;
15 not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,
Ne pārlieku lielīdamies ar cita darbiem, bet cerēdami, ka jūsu ticībai augot mēs pie jums savās robežās jo vairāk augsim lielumā,
16 so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
Tā ka mēs evaņģēliju varam pasludināt tiem, kas aiz jūsu robežām, un nelielīsimies ar to, kas svešā daļā jau pastrādāts.
17 But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Bet kas lielās, lai lielās iekš Tā Kunga.
18 For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
Jo ne tas, kas pats sevi uzteic, ir derīgs, bet ko Tas Kungs uzteic.
