Pāvila 1. Vēstule Korintiešiem 10
1 Bet es gribu, brāļi, lai jūs liekat vērā, ka mūsu tēvi visi bijuši apakš tā padebeša, un visi gājuši caur to jūru,
I want you to bear in mind, friends, that all our ancestors were beneath the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 Un visi uz Mozu ir kristīti padebesī un jūrā,
that in the cloud and in the sea they all underwent baptism as followers of Moses;
3 Un visi baudījuši to pašu garīgo barību,
and that they all ate the same supernatural food,
4 Un visi dzēruši to pašu garīgo dzērienu; jo tie dzēra no tā garīgā akmens, kas gāja līdz; bet tas akmens bija Kristus.
and all drank the same supernatural water, for they used to drink from a supernatural rock which followed them, and that rock was the Christ.
5 Bet pie tā lielā pulka no tiem Dievam nebija labs prāts; jo tie ir nobeigti tuksnesī.
Yet with most of them God was displeased; for they were struck down in the desert.
6 Un tas noticis mums par priekšzīmi, ka mēs nebūtu ļauna iekārotāji tā kā tie iekārojušies.
Now these things happened as warnings to us, to teach us not to long for evil things as our ancestors longed.
7 Un arī netopat elku kalpi, kā citi no tiem, - kā ir rakstīts: tie ļaudis apsēdās ēst un dzert un cēlās līksmoties.
Do not become idolaters, as some of them became. Scripture says – “The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance.”
8 Lai arī maucībai nedodamies, tā kā citi no tiem ir maukojuši un krituši vienā dienā divdesmit un trīs tūkstoši.
Nor let us act immorally, as some of them acted, with the result that twenty-three thousand of them fell dead in a single day.
9 Lai arī Kristu nekārdinājiet, tā kā arī citi no tiem viņu kārdinājuši un ir nomaitāti caur čūskām.
Nor let us try the patience of the Lord too far, as some of them tried it, with the result that they were, one after another, destroyed by snakes.
10 Un arī nekurniet, tā kā citi no tiem kurnējuši un ir nomaitāti caur to maitātāju.
And do not murmur, as some of them murmured, and so were destroyed by the angel of death.
11 Un viss tas viņiem noticis kā priekšzīme, un ir uzrakstīts par mācību mums, uz kuriem pasaules gals ir nācis. (aiōn g165)
These things happened to them by way of warning, and were recorded to serve as a caution to us, in whose days the close of the ages has come. (aiōn g165)
12 Tāpēc, kas šķietās stāvot, tas lai pielūko, ka nekrīt.
Therefore let the person who thinks that they stand take care that they do not fall.
13 Jums vēl nekāda kārdināšana nav uzgājusi kā tikai cilvēcīga; bet Dievs ir uzticīgs; tas neļaus jūs vairāk kārdināt nekā spējat, bet kārdināšanai arī tādu galu darīs, ka varat panest.
No temptation has come upon you that is not common to all humanity. God will not fail you, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength; but, when he sends the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, so that you may have strength to endure.
14 Tādēļ, mani mīļie, bēgat no elku kalpošanas.
Therefore, my dear friends, shun the worship of idols.
15 Kā uz prātīgiem es saku; apspriežat paši, ko es saku:
I speak to you as man of discernment; form your own judgment about what I am saying.
16 Tas pateicības biķeris, ko ar pateikšanu svētījam, vai tas nav savienošana ar Kristus asinīm? Tā maize, ko laužam, vai tā nav savienošana ar Kristus miesu?
In the cup of blessing which we bless, is not there a sharing in the blood of the Christ? And in the bread which we break, is not there a sharing in the body of the Christ?
17 Jo kā viena maize, tā mēs daudzi esam viena miesa; jo mums visiem ir daļa pie vienas maizes.
The bread is one, and we, though many, are one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
18 Uzskatat to Israēli pēc miesas: Vai tiem, kas upurus ēd, nav biedrība ar altāri?
Look at the people of Israel. Do not those who eat the sacrifices share with the altar?
19 Ko tad nu es saku? Vai, ka elkadievs kas esot? Jeb ka elka upuris kas esot?
What do I mean? That an offering made to an idol, or the idol itself, is anything?
20 Bet ko pagāni upurē, to tie upurē velniem un ne Dievam; bet es negribu, ka jums biedrība būtu ar velniem.
No; what I say is that the sacrifices offered by the Gentiles are offered to demons and to a being who is no God, and I do not want you to share with demons.
21 Jūs nevarat dzert Tā Kunga biķeri un velnu biķeri. Jums nevar daļa būt pie Tā Kunga galda un pie velnu galda.
You cannot drink both the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons.
22 Jeb vai gribam To Kungu kaitināt? Vai mēs esam jo spēcīgāki nekā Viņš?
Or are we to rouse the jealousy of the Lord? Are we stronger than he?
23 Viss man ir brīv, bet ne viss der. Viss man ir brīv, bet ne viss der uztaisīšanai.
Everything is allowable! Yes, but everything is not profitable. Everything is allowable! Yes, but everything does not build up character.
24 Nevienam nebūs to meklēt, kas pašam, bet kas citam par labu.
A person must not study their own interests, but the interests of others.
25 Visu, ko skārņos pārdod, ēdiet, neko neizmeklēdami zināmas sirds dēļ.
Eat anything that is sold in the market, without making inquiries to satisfy your scruples;
26 Jo Tam Kungam pieder zeme un viņas pilnums.
for the earth, with all that is in it, belongs to the Lord.
27 Un ja kāds no tiem neticīgiem jūs aicina, un jūs gribat iet, tad ēdiet visu, ko jums ceļ priekšā, ne ko neizmeklēdami zināmas sirds dēļ.
If an unbeliever invites you to his house and you consent to go, eat anything that is put before you, without making inquiries to satisfy your scruples.
28 Bet ja kas uz jums saka: šis ir elka upuris, tad neēdat, viņa dēļ, kas jums to ir teicis, un zināmas sirds dēļ; (jo Tam Kungam pieder zeme un viņas pilnums.)
But, if anyone should say to you “This has been offered in sacrifice to an idol,” then, for the sake of the speaker and his scruples, do not eat it.
29 Bet es saku: ne tavas, bet tā tuvāka zināmas sirds dēļ. Jo kāpēc mana svabadība lai top tiesāta no cita zināmas sirds?
I do not say your scruples, but his. For why should the freedom that I claim be condemned by the scruples of another?
30 Ja es ar pateicību to saņemu, ko tad topu zaimots, par ko es pateicos?
If, for my part, I take the food thankfully, why should I be abused for eating that for which I give thanks?
31 Tāpēc, vai ēdat vai dzerat un ko vien darāt, visu to darāt Dievam par godu.
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything to the honour of God.
32 Nepaliekat par piedauzīšanu ne Jūdiem ne Grieķiem ne Dieva draudzei,
Do not cause offence either to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God;
33 Itin kā arī es visiem visās lietās esmu pa prātam, nemeklēdams, kas man, bet kas daudziem par labu, lai tie top izglābti.
for I, also, try to please everybody in everything, not seeking my own advantage, but do what is best for others, so that they may be saved.
