Pāvila 1. Vēstule Korintiešiem 1

1 Pāvils, caur Dieva prātu aicināts par Jēzus Kristus apustuli, un Sostens, tas brālis,

To the church of God in Corinth, to those who have been consecrated by union with Christ Jesus and called to become his people, and also to all, wherever they may be, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ – their Master and ours,

2 Tai Dieva draudzei, kas ir Korintū, tiem iekš Kristus Jēzus svētītiem, tiem aicinātiem svētiem, un visiem, kas mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus vārdu piesauc kaut kurā vietā, tā pie viņiem, kā pie mums:

from Paul, who has been called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and from Sosthenes, our fellow follower of the Lord.

3 Žēlastība lai ir jums un miers no Dieva, mūsu Tēva, un no Tā Kunga Jēzus Kristus.

May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

4 Es savam Dievam arvien pateicos par jums Dieva žēlastības dēļ kas jums ir dota iekš Kristus Jēzus,

I always thank God for you. I thank him for the blessing bestowed on you in Christ Jesus.

5 Ka jūs iekš Viņa bagāti esat darīti visās lietās, ikvienā mācībā un ikvienā atzīšanā,

For through union with him you were enriched in every way – in your power to preach, and in your knowledge of the truth;

6 Tā kā Kristus liecība ir apstiprināta jūsu starpā,

and so became yourselves a confirmation of my testimony to the Christ.

7 Un ka nekādas dāvanas jums netrūkst, kas gaidāt uz mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus parādīšanos.

There is no gift in which you are deficient, while waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

8 Tas jūs arī apstiprinās līdz galam, ka esat bezvainīgi mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus dienā.

And God himself will strengthen you to the end, so that at the day of our Lord Jesus Christ you may be found blameless.

9 Dievs ir uzticīgs, caur ko jūs esat aicināti pie Viņa Dēla Jēzus Kristus, mūsu Kunga, biedrības.

God will not fail you, and it is he who called you into communion with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

10 Bet es jūs pamācu, brāļi, caur mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus vārdu, lai jums visiem ir vienāda valoda, un lai nav jūsu starpā nekādas šķelšanās, bet lai jūs esat pilnīgi vienādā prātā un vienādā padomā.

But I appeal to you, my friends, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you profess, and not to allow divisions to exist among you, but to be united – of one mind and of one opinion.

11 Jo caur tiem, kas ir Kloēs namā, man ir stāstīts par jums, mani brāļi, ka jūsu starpā esot strīdi.

For I have been informed, my friends, by the members of Chloe’s household, that party feeling exists among you.

12 Bet es runāju par to, ka ikviens no jums saka: es esmu Pāvila, bet es Apollus, bet es Kefasa, bet es Kristus māceklis.

I mean this: that every one of you says either “I follow Paul,” or “I Apollos,” or “I Cephas,” or “I Christ.”

13 Vai tad Kristus ir dalīts? Vai Pāvils par jums krustā sists? Jeb vai jūs esat kristīti uz Pāvila vārdu?

You have torn the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 Es Dievam pateicos, ka es nevienu no jums neesmu kristījis, kā tikai Krispu un Gaju,

I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

15 Lai jel neviens nesaka, ka esmu kristījis uz savu vārdu.

so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name.

16 Bet arī Stefana namu es esmu kristījis. Bez tiem nezinu, vai citu kādu esmu kristījis.

I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not know that I baptized anyone else.

17 Jo Kristus mani nav sūtījis kristīt, bet evaņģēliju sludināt, ne ar gudriem vārdiem, lai Kristus krusts netop iznīcināts.

My mission from Christ was not to baptize, but to tell the good news; not, however, in the language of philosophy, in case the cross of the Christ should be robbed of its meaning.

18 Jo tas vārds no tā krusta ir ģeķība tiem, kas pazūd, bet mums, kas topam izglābti, tas ir Dieva spēks.

The message of the cross is indeed mere folly to those who are on the path to ruin, but to us who are on the path of salvation it is the power of God.

19 Jo ir rakstīts: “Es samaitāšu gudrību gudriem un iznīcināšu prātu prātīgiem.”

For scripture says – “I will bring the philosophy of the philosophers to naught, and the shrewdness of the shrewd I will bring to nothing.”

20 Kur tie gudrie? Kur tie rakstu mācītāji? Kur tie šī laika zinātnieki? Vai šīs pasaules gudrību Dievs nav darījis par ģeķību? (aiōn g165)

Where is the philosopher? Where the teacher of the Law? Where the disputant of today? Has not God shown the world’s philosophy to be folly? (aiōn g165)

21 Jo kad pasaule caur savu gudrību Dievu neatzina Dieva gudrībā, tad Dievam ir paticis, caur ģeķīgu sludināšanu ticīgos darīt svētus.

For since the world, in God’s wisdom, did not by its philosophy learn to know God, God saw fit, by the “folly” of our proclamation, to save those who believe in Christ!

22 Jo Jūdi prasa zīmes un Grieķi meklē gudrību.

While Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks study philosophy,

23 Bet mēs sludinājam Kristu, To krustā sisto, kas Jūdiem apgrēcība un Grieķiem ģeķība;

we are proclaiming Christ crucified! – to the Jews an obstacle, to the Gentiles mere folly,

24 Bet tiem aicinātiem, tā Jūdiem kā Grieķiem, mēs sludinājam Kristu kā Dieva spēku un Dieva gudrību.

but to those who have received the call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God!

25 Jo Dieva ģeķība ir gudrāka nekā cilvēki, un Dieva nespēcība spēcīgāka nekā cilvēki.

For God’s “folly” is wiser than people, and God’s “weakness” is stronger than people.

26 Jo raugāt, brāļi, savu aicināšanu, ka nav daudz gudru pēc miesas, ne daudz spēcīgu, ne daudz no augstas dzimtas;

Look at the facts of your call, friends. There are not many among you who are wise, as people reckon wisdom, not many who are influential, not many who are high-born;

27 Bet kas ģeķīgs pasaulei, to Dievs ir izredzējis, ka Viņš tos gudros liktu kaunā, un kas nespēcīgs pasaulei, to Dievs ir izredzējis, ka Viņš tos spēcīgos liktu kaunā,

but God chose what the world counts foolish to put its wise to shame, and God chose what the world counts weak to put its strong to shame,

28 Un kas necienīgs pasaulei un pulgots, un kas nav nekas, to Dievs ir izredzējis, ka Viņš iznīcinātu to, kas ir kas,

and God chose what the world counts poor and insignificant – things that to it are unreal – to bring its “realities” to nothing,

29 Lai neviena miesa Viņa priekšā nelielās.

so that in his presence no one should boast.

30 Bet no Viņa jūs esat iekš Kristus Jēzus, kas mums no Dieva ir dots par gudrību un taisnību un svētu darīšanu un pestīšanu.

But you, by your union with Christ Jesus, belong to God; and Christ, by God’s will, became not only our wisdom, but also our righteousness, holiness, and deliverance,

31 Tā kā ir rakstīts: kas lielās, lai lielās iekš Tā Kunga.

so that – in the words of scripture – “Whoever boasts should boast of the Lord!”
