Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
Es patiesību saku iekš Kristus, es nemeloju, jo mana sirdsapziņa man liecību dod iekš Svēta Gara,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
Ka man ir lielas skumjas un nemitīgas sāpes manā sirdī.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
Jo es būtu vēlējies pats būt nolādēts no Kristus par maniem brāļiem, kas ir mani radi pēc miesas;
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
Tie ir Israēlieši, tiem pieder tā bērnība un tā godība un tās derības un tā bauslība un Tā Dieva kalpošana un tās apsolīšanas,
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Tiem tie tēvi, no kuriem arī Kristus pēc miesas; tas ir Dievs pār visiem, augsti teicams mūžīgi. Āmen. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
Tomēr ne tā, tā kā Dieva vārds būtu pakritis; jo ne visi, kas no Israēla, ir Israēls,
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Nedz tie visi tādēļ bērni, ka tie ir Ābrahāma dzimums, bet: “Iekš Īzaka tev dzimums taps dēvēts.”
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
Tas ir: ne tie miesas bērni ir Dieva bērni, bet tie apsolīšanas bērni top turēti par dzimumu.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
Jo tas apsolīšanas vārds ir šis: ap šo pašu laiku Es nākšu, tad Sārai būs dēls.
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
Un ne vien šī, bet arī Rebeka, kad bija grūta no viena, no Īzaka, mūsu tēva -
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
Jo kad tie bērni vēl nebija dzimuši, nedz darījuši ne laba ne ļauna, lai Dieva nodoms, kā Viņš izredzējis, pastāvētu, ne pēc darbiem, bet pēc Tā aicinātāja;
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
Tad viņai kļuva sacīts: lielākais kalpos mazākajam;
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Tā kā ir rakstīts: Es Jēkabu esmu mīlējis un Ēsavu ienīdējis.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
Ko nu lai sakām? Vai netaisnība ir pie Dieva? Nebūt ne!
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
Jo uz Mozu Viņš saka: Es žēlošu, ko žēloju, un apžēlošos, par ko apžēlojos.
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Tad nu tas nav ne no cilvēka gribēšanas, ne no cilvēka skriešanas, bet no Dieva apžēlošanās.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Jo tas raksts saka uz Faraonu: itin tāpēc Es tevi esmu cēlis, ka Es pie tevis parādītu Savu spēku, un ka Mans Vārds taptu pasludināts visā pasaulē.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
Tad nu Viņš apžēlojās, par ko Tas grib, un apcietina, ko Tas grib.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
Tu nu gan uz mani sacīsi: ko tad Viņš vēl rāj? Jo kas Viņa prātam var pretī turēties?
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
Bet, ak cilvēciņ! Kas tu tāds esi, ka tu gribi ar Dievu tiesāties? Vai kāds darbs uz savu meistaru saka: kam tu mani tādu esi taisījis?
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
Vai tad podniekam nav vara pār mālu, no tās pašas pītes taisīt citu trauku godam un citu negodam?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
Bet nu Dievs, gribēdams dusmību parādīt un Savu spēku zināmu darīt, ar lielu lēnprātību ir panesis tos dusmības traukus, sataisītus uz pazušanu,
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
Un ka Tas Savas godības bagātību parādītu pie tiem žēlastības traukiem, ko Viņš iepriekš ir sataisījis uz godību.
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
Tādus Viņš arī mūs ir aicinājis, ne vien no Jūdiem, bet arī no pagāniem.
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
Tā kā Viņš arī pie Hozejas saka: Es tos saukšu par Saviem ļaudīm, kas Mani ļaudis nebija, un par Savu mīļo, kas Man mīļa nebija;
26 “It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”
Un notiks tanī vietā, kur uz tiem tika sacīts: Jūs neesat Mani ļaudis! Tur tie taps saukti Tā dzīvā Dieva bērni.
27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
Un Jesaja izsauc pār Israēli: ja Israēla bērnu skaits būtu kā jūras smiltis, tomēr tikai atlikums taps izglābts.
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
Jo Viņš to vārdu piepilda un pasteidz iekš taisnības; jo drīz Tas Kungs to vārdu izdarīs virs zemes.
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
Un itin kā Jesaja ir papriekš sacījis: ja Tas Kungs Cebaot mums nebūtu atlicinājis kādu sēklu, tad mēs būtu palikuši tā kā Sodoma un līdzīgi Gomorai.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
Ko nu lai sakām? Ka pagāni, kas pēc taisnības nedzinās, taisnību dabūjuši, proti to taisnību no ticības;
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
Bet Israēls, pēc taisnības bauslības dzīdamies, to taisnības bauslību nav panācis.
32 Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
Kādēļ? Tādēļ ka ne no ticības bet tā kā no bauslības darbiem (to meklēja); jo tie ir piedauzījušies pie tā piedauzīšanas akmens,
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
Itin kā ir rakstīts: redzi, Es lieku Ciānā piedauzīšanas akmeni un apgrēcības klinti, un kas uz Viņu tic nepaliks kaunā.
