Pāvila 1. Vēstule Korintiešiem 6
1 Ja kam no jums kāda sūdzība ir pret citu kādu, kā tas gan drīkst tiesāties priekš tiem netaisniem un ne priekš tiem svētiem?
Can it be that, when one of you has a dispute with another, they dare to have their case tried before the heathen, instead of before Christ’s people?
2 Vai jūs nezināt, ka tie svētie pasauli tiesās; un ja caur jums pasaule kļūst tiesāta, vai tad jūs esat necienīgi, tās mazākās lietas tiesāt?
Don’t you know that Christ’s people will try the world? And if the world is to be tried by you, are you unfit to try the most trivial cases?
3 Vai nezināt, ka mēs tiesāsim eņģeļus? Kā ne jo vairāk laicīgas lietas?
Don’t you know that we are to try angels – to say nothing of the affairs of this life?
4 Kad nu jums par laicīgām lietām jātiesājas; kas draudzē necienīti, tādus jūs ieceļat.
Why, then, if you have cases relating to the affairs of this life, do you set to try them those who carry no weight with the church? To your shame I ask it.
5 Es to saku jums par kaunu. Vai tad jūsu starpā nav neviena gudra, neviena, kas varētu tiesu spriest starp saviem brāļiem?
Can it be that there is not one among you wise enough to decide between two of their fellow followers?
6 Bet brālis iet ar brāli tiesāties, un tad vēl pie neticīgiem!
Must a follower sue a fellow follower? In front of unbelievers?
7 Jo tā jau ir vaina pie jums, ka jūs pavisam(vispār) savā starpā tiesājaties; kādēļ jūs labāk neciešat netaisnību? Kādēļ jūs labāk neciešat pārestību?
To begin with, it is undoubtedly a loss to you to have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why not rather let yourselves be cheated?
8 Bet jūs dariet netaisnību un dariet pāri, un to vēl brāļiem.
Instead of this, you wrong and cheat others yourselves – yes, even other followers!
9 Vai nezināt, ka netaisnie Dieva valstību neiemantos? Nepieviļaties! Ne maucinieki, ne elkadievīgie, ne laulības pārkāpēji, ne malaki, ne tie, kas pie vīriem guļ,
Don’t you know that wrongdoers will have no share in God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived. No one who is immoral, or an idolater, or an adulterer, or licentious, or a sexual pervert,
10 Ne zagļi, ne plēsēji, ne dzērāji, ne zaimotāji, ne laupītāji Dieva valstību neiemantos.
or a thief, or covetous, or a drunkard, or abusive, or grasping, will have any share in God’s kingdom.
11 Un kādi no jums bija tādi; bet jūs esat nomazgāti, bet jūs esat svēti darīti, bet jūs esat taisnoti iekš Tā Kunga Jēzus vārda un iekš mūsu Dieva Gara.
Such some of you used to be; but you washed yourselves clean. You became Christ’s people! You were pronounced righteous through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God!
12 Viss man ir brīv, bet ne viss der. Viss man ir brīv, bet nekam es nepadošos.
Everything is allowable for me! Yes, but everything is not profitable. Everything is allowable for me! Yes, but for my part, I will not let myself be enslaved by anything.
13 Barība vēderam, un vēders barībai, bet Dievs iznīcinās gan šo, gan to; bet miesa nav maucībai, bet Tam Kungam, un Tas Kungs miesai.
Food exists for the stomach, and the stomach for food; but God will put an end to both the one and the other. The body, however, exists, not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;
14 Bet Dievs ir To Kungu uzmodinājis un arī mūs uzmodinās caur Savu spēku.
and, as God has raised the Lord, so he will raise us up also by the exercise of his power.
15 Vai nezināt, ka jūsu miesas ir Kristus locekļi? Vai tad es ņemtu Kristus locekļus un darītu par maukas locekļiem? Nemūžam.
Don’t you know that your bodies are Christ’s members? Am I, then, to take the members that belong to the Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? Heaven forbid!
16 Jeb vai nezināt, ka tas, kas maukai pieķeras, ir viena miesa ar to? Jo viņš saka: tie divi būs viena miesa.
Or don’t you know that a man who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body (for “the two,” it is said, “will become one”);
17 Bet kas Tam Kungam pieķeras, tas ir viens gars ar To.
while a man who is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit?
18 Bēgat no maucības! Visi grēki, ko cilvēks dara, ir ārpus miesas; bet kas maucību dara, tas grēko pie savas paša miesas.
Shun all immorality. Every other sin that people commit is something outside the body; but an immoral person sins against their own body.
19 Jeb vai nezināt, ka jūsu miesa ir Tā Svētā Gara dzīvoklis, kas ir iekš jums, ko jūs no Dieva esat dabūjuši, un jūs nepiederat sev pašiem?
Again, don’t you know that your body is a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you – the Spirit which you have from God?
20 Jo jūs esat dārgi atpirkti. Tad nu godiniet Dievu savā miesā un savā garā, kas pieder Dievam.
Moreover, you are not your own masters; you were bought, and the price was paid. Therefore, honour God in your bodies.
