Pāvila 1. Vēstule Korintiešiem 3
1 Un, brāļi, es nevarēju ar jums runāt kā ar garīgiem, bet kā ar miesīgiem, kā ar nejēgām iekš Kristus.
But I, my friends, could not speak to you as people with spiritual insight, but only as worldly-minded – mere infants in the faith of Christ.
2 Es jūs esmu dzirdinājis ar pienu un ne ar barību, jo jūs vēl nespējāt; bet arī tagad jūs vēl nespējiet.
I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you were not then able to take it. No, and even now you are not able; you are still worldly.
3 Jo jūs vēl esat miesīgi: jo kamēr jūsu starpā ir ienaids un strīdus un šķelšanās, vai jūs neesat miesīgi un vai nestaigājat pēc cilvēku kārtas?
While there exist among you jealousy and party feeling, is it not true that you are worldly, and are acting merely as other people do?
4 Jo kad cits saka: es turos pie Pāvila, un cits: es pie Apollus, vai jūs neesat miesīgi?
When one says “I follow Paul,” and another “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you like other people?
5 Kas tad ir Pāvils, un kas ir Apollus? Tie ir kalpi vien, caur kuriem jūs esat palikuši ticīgi, un tā, kā Tas Kungs ikvienam ir devis.
What, I ask, is Apollos? Or what is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to accept the faith; and that only as the Lord helped each of you.
6 Es esmu dēstījis, Apollus ir slacinājis; bet Dievs ir audzinājis.
I planted, and Apollos watered, but it was God who caused the growth.
7 Tad nu nedz tas dēstītājs ir kas, nedz tas slacinātājs, bet Dievs, kas audzina.
Therefore neither the one who plants, nor the one who waters, counts for anything, but only God who causes the growth.
8 Un tas dēstītājs un tas slacinātājs ir vis viens; bet ikkatrs dabūs savu īpašu algu, pēc sava īpaša darba.
In this the person who plants and the person who waters are one; yet each will receive their own reward in proportion to their own labour.
9 Jo mēs esam Dieva darba biedri, jūs esat Dieva aramais tīrums, Dieva ēka.
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s harvest field, God’s building.
10 Pēc tās Dieva žēlastības, kas man ir dota, es kā gudrs nama taisītājs esmu licis pamatu, un cits uz tā uztaisa ēku; - bet ikvienam būs pielūkot, kā viņš to ēku uztaisa.
In fulfilment of the charge which God had entrusted to me, I laid the foundation like a skilful master; but someone else is now building on it. Let everyone take care how they build;
11 Jo citu pamatu neviens nevar likt pār to, kas ir likts, proti Jēzus, Tas Kristus.
for no one can lay any other foundation than the one already laid – Jesus Christ.
12 Bet, ja kas uz šo pamatu uzceļ zeltu, sudrabu, dārgus akmeņus, kokus, sienu, salmus,
Whatever is used by those who build on this foundation, whether gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
13 Tad ikviena darbs taps redzams, jo tā diena to atklās, - tāpēc, ka šī ugunī parādīsies; un kāds ikkatra darbs ir, to uguns pārbaudīs.
the quality of each man’s work will become known, for the day will make it plain; because that day is to be ushered in with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of every man’s work.
14 Ja kāda darbs paliek, ko tas tur virsū uzcēlis, tas dabūs algu.
If anyone’s work, which they have built on that foundation, still remains, they will gain a reward.
15 Ja kāda darbs sadegs, tam būs jācieš, bet viņš pats taps izglābts, tomēr kā caur uguni.
If anyone’s work is burnt up, they will suffer loss; though they themselves will escape, but only as one who has passed through fire.
16 Vai nezināt, ka jūs esat Dieva nams, un ka Dieva Gars iekš jums mājo?
Don’t you know that you are God’s Temple, and that God’s Spirit has his home in you?
17 Ja kas Dieva namu samaitā, to Dievs samaitās; jo Dieva nams ir svēts, un jūs tas esat.
If any one destroys the Temple of God, God will destroy them; for the Temple of God is sacred, and so also are you.
18 Lai neviens nepieviļas. Ja kam jūsu starpā šķiet, ka viņš gudrs šinī pasaulē, tas lai top ģeķis, lai kļūst gudrs. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you imagines that, as regards this world, they are wise, they should become a “fool,” that they may become wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Jo šīs pasaules gudrība ir ģeķība pie Dieva, jo ir rakstīts: “Viņš satver gudros viņu viltībā.”
For in God’s sight this world’s wisdom is folly. Scripture tells of – “One who catches the wise in their own craftiness,”
20 Un atkal: Tas Kungs pazīst gudro domas, ka tās nelietīgas.
And it says again – “The Lord sees how fruitless are the deliberations of the wise.”
21 Tad nu neviens lai nelielās ar cilvēkiem. Jo viss jums pieder,
Therefore let no one boast about people; for all things are yours –
22 Lai Pāvils, lai Apollus, lai Kefas, lai pasaule, lai dzīvība, lai nāve, lai klātesošas lietas, lai nākamas - viss jums pieder;
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future – all things are yours!
23 Bet jūs Kristum, bet Kristus Dievam.
But you are Christ’s and Christ is God’s.
