Pāvila 2. Vēstule Korintiešiem 11
1 Ak, kad jūs mani kaut cik panestu manā nesaprašanā! Bet jūs mani gan panesat.
I could wish that you would tolerate a little folly in me! But indeed you do tolerate me.
2 Jo es esmu iekarsis par jums ar dievišķu karstumu, jo es jūs esmu saderējis, kā šķīstu jumpravu, pievedamu vienam vīram, tas ir Kristum.
I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God. For I promised you in marriage as a pure bride, to one husband – the Christ.
3 Bet es bīstos, ka tāpat, kā tā čūska ar savu viltību Ievu pievīlusi, arī jūsu domas netop samaitātas un nenoklīst no tās vientiesības, kas ir iekš Kristus.
Yet I fear that it may turn out that, just as the snake by his craftiness deceived Eve, so your minds may have lost the loyalty and purity due from you to the Christ.
4 Jo, ja kas nāk un citu Jēzu sludina, ko mēs neesam sludinājuši, jeb ja jūs dabūjat citu garu, ko jūs neesat dabūjuši, jeb citu evaņģēliju, ko neesat pieņēmuši, tad jūs to gan labi panesat.
For, if some newcomer is proclaiming a Jesus other than him whom we proclaimed, or if you are receiving a Spirit different from the Spirit which you received, or a good news different from that which you welcomed, then you are marvellously tolerant!
5 Jo ceru, ka nebūt neesmu mazāks par tiem tādiem jo augstiem apustuļiem.
I do not regard myself as in any way inferior to the most eminent apostles!
6 Un ja arī runā man trūkst, tad tomēr ne atzīšanā; bet mēs jau vienmēr un visādi jums esam pazīstami.
Though I am no trained orator, yet I am not without knowledge; indeed we made this perfectly clear to you in every way.
7 Vai grēku esmu darījis, ka pats pazemojos, lai jūs taptu paaugstināti, ka es jums Dieva evaņģēliju bez maksas esmu sludinājis?
Perhaps you say that I did wrong in humbling myself that you might be exalted – I mean because I told you God’s good news without payment.
8 Citas draudzes esmu aplaupījis, no tām ņemdams algu par to kalpošanu pie jums; un kad es biju pie jums un man kas trūka, tad tomēr nevienu neesmu apgrūtinājis.
I robbed other churches by taking pay from them, so that I might serve you!
9 Jo manu trūkumu ir atvieglinājuši tie brāļi, kas no Maķedonijas nākuši; un visās lietās es esmu tā turējies, ka es jūs neapgrūtinātu, un tā vēl turēšos.
And, when I was with you in need, I did not become a burden to any of you; for our friends, on coming from Macedonia, supplied my needs. I kept myself, and will keep myself from being an expense to you in any way.
10 Kristus patiesība ir iekš manis, ka šī slava Akajas zemē man neapklusīs.
As surely as I know anything of the truth of Christ, this boast, as far as I am concerned, will not be stopped in any part of Greece.
11 Kādēļ? Ka es jūs nebūtu mīlējis? To Dievs zina.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows that I do!
12 Bet ko es daru, to es arī vēl darīšu, lai es iemeslu atņemu tiem, kas iemeslu meklē, lai tie, ar ko lielās, tiek atrasti tādi, kā arī mēs.
What I am doing now I will continue to do in order to cut away the ground from under those who are wishing for some ground for attacking me, so that as regards the thing of which they boast they may appear in their true characters, just as we do.
13 Jo tie tādi viltus apustuļi un viltīgi strādnieki izliekās kā Kristus apustuļi.
Such people are false apostles, treacherous workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ!
14 Un tas nav brīnums: jo pats sātans izliekas kā gaišības eņģelis.
And no wonder; for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 Tad nav liela lieta, ja arī viņa kalpi izliekas kā taisnības kalpi - tiem būs gals pēc viņu darbiem.
It is not surprising, therefore, if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. But their end will be in accordance with their actions.
16 Es saku atkal, lai neviens nedomā, ka es esmu nesapraša; bet ja ne, tad pieņemiet mani kā nesaprašu, lai es arī kaut cik varu lielīties.
I say again – Let no one think me a fool! Yet, if you do, at least welcome me as you would a fool, so that I, too may indulge in a little boasting.
17 Ko es runāju, to nerunāju pēc Tā Kunga, bet tā kā iekš nesaprašanas, kad nu tā ņemos lielīties.
When I speak like this, I am not speaking as the Master would, but as a fool might, in boasting so confidently.
18 Kad daudzi lielās pēc miesas, tad es arīdzan gribu lielīties.
As so many are boasting of earthly things, I, too, will boast.
19 Jo jūs labprāt panesat tos nesaprašas, prātīgi būdami.
For all your cleverness, you tolerate fools willingly enough!
20 Jo jūs panesat, ja kāds jūs dara par kalpiem, ja kāds jūs plēš, ja kāds no jums ņem, ja kāds paaugstinājās, ja kāds jums cērt vaigā.
You tolerate a person even when they enslave you, when they plunder you, when they get you into their power, when they put on airs of superiority, when they strike you in the face!
21 Par negodu saku: - to mēs nespējām; tomēr kurā lietā kāds drošs, (es runāju neprātīgi), tanī es arīdzan esmu drošs.
I admit, to my shame, that we have been weak. But whatever the subject on which others are not afraid to boast – though it is foolish to say so – I am not afraid either!
22 Vai tie ir Ebreji? Es arīdzan. Vai tie ir Israēlieši? Es arīdzan. Vai tie ir Ābrahāma dzimums? Arī es.
Are they Hebrews? So am I! Are they Israelites? So am I! Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I!
23 Vai tie ir Kristus kalpi? (es neprātīgi runāju) es jo vairāk: iekš darbiem vairāk, iekš sitieniem pārlieku vairāk, iekš cietumiem vairāk, iekš nāves bailēm daudzreiz.
Are they “Servants of Christ”? Though it is madness to talk like this, I am more so than they! I have had more of toil, more of imprisonment! I have been flogged times without number. I have been often at death’s door.
24 No Jūdiem piecreiz esmu dabūjis četrdesmit sitienus bez viena.
Five times I received at the hands of my own people forty lashes, all but one.
25 Trīs reiz esmu šaustīts, vienreiz akmeņiem mētāts, trīs reiz ar laivu esmu cietis ūdens briesmas, nakti un dienu jūras dziļumā esmu sabijis.
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a whole day and night in the deep.
26 Daudzreiz esmu ceļā bijis: briesmās ūdeņos, briesmās starp slepkavām, briesmās starp savas cilts ļaudīm, briesmās starp pagāniem, briesmās pilsētā, briesmās tuksnesī, briesmās jūrā, briesmās starp viltīgiem brāļiem;
My journeys have been many. I have been through dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in towns, dangers in the country, dangers on the sea, dangers among people pretending to be followers of the Lord.
27 Iekš darba un pūliņa, daudz nomodā, iekš izsalkšanas un iztvīkšanas, daudz reiz iekš gavēšanām, iekš salšanas un plikuma.
I have been through toil and hardship. I have passed many a sleepless night; I have endured hunger and thirst; I have often been without food; I have known cold and nakedness.
28 Bez tam, kas vēl citādi notiek: tās rūpes par visām draudzēm ikdienas laužas man virsū.
And, not to speak of other things, there is my daily burden of anxiety about all the churches.
29 Kas nogurst, un es nenogurstu? Kas tiek kaitināts(apgrēcināts), un es neiedegos?
Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led astray without my burning with indignation?
30 Ja tad būs lielīties, tad lielīšos ar savu nespēcību.
If I must boast, I will boast of things which show my weakness!
31 Mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus Dievs un Tēvs, kas ir augsti teicams mūžīgi mūžam, Tas zin, ka es nemeloju. (aiōn g165)
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus – he who is for ever blessed – knows that I am speaking the truth. (aiōn g165)
32 Damaskū ķēniņa Areta ļaužu valdnieks apsargāja Damaskus pilsētu, gribēdams mani gūstīt,
When I was in Damascus, the Governor under King Aretas had the gates of that city guarded, so as to arrest me,
33 Un kurvī pa logu es tapu nolaists pār mūri un izbēgu no viņa rokām.
but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
