Lūkas Evaņg̒elijs 18
1 Un Viņš tiem arī vienu līdzību sacīja, ka pienākas allažiņ Dievu lūgt un nepiekust,
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
2 Un sacīja: “Bija soģis kādā pilsētā, tas no Dieva nebijās un no neviena cilvēka nekaunējās.
‘There was,’ he said, ‘in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
3 Un viena atraitne bija tanī pilsētā; un tā nāca pie viņa sacīdama: izdod man tiesu pret manu pretinieku.
In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said “Grant me justice against my opponent.”
4 Un viņš ilgu laiku negribēja. Bet pēc viņš sacīja pie sevis: jebšu es Dievu nebīstos un no neviena cilvēka nekaunos;
For a time the judge refused, but afterwards he said to himself “Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,
5 Tomēr, kad šī atraitne man gauži spiežas virsū, tad es tai gribu tiesu izdot, ka tā bezgala nākdama mani nenomāc.”
yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.”’
6 Un Tas Kungs sacīja: “Klausāties, ko tas netaisnais soģis saka.
Then the Master added, ‘Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
7 Vai tad Dievs neizdos tiesu Saviem izredzētiem, kas dienām naktīm uz Viņu brēc, lai gan Viņš tiem liek gaidīt?
And God – won’t he see that his own people, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them – though he holds his hand?
8 Es jums saku: Viņš tiem tiesu izdos īsā laikā. Bet, kad Tas Cilvēka Dēls atnāks, vai Tas gan ticību atradīs virs zemes?”
He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?’
9 Bet Viņš arī sacīja uz kādiem, kas uz sev pašiem paļāvās, ka esot taisni, un citus nicināja, šo līdzību:
Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
10 “Divi cilvēki gāja Dieva namā Dievu lūgt, viens farizejs, otrs muitnieks.
‘Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 Tas farizejs nostājies lūdza, pats pie sevis šos vārdus sacīdams: es tev pateicos Dievs, ka es neesmu kā citi cilvēki, laupītāji, netaisni, laulības pārkāpēji, vai arī kā šis muitnieks.
The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way – “God, I thank you that I am not like other men – thieves, rogues, adulterers – or even like this tax-gatherer.
12 Es gavēju divreiz nedēļā un dodu desmito tiesu no visa sava padoma.
I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.”
13 Bet tas muitnieks no tālienes stāvēdams negribēja nedz savas acis pacelt uz debesīm, bet sita pie savām krūtīm un sacīja: Dievs, esi man grēciniekam žēlīgs!
Meanwhile the tax-gatherer stood at a distance, not venturing even to raise his eyes to heaven, but he kept striking his breast and saying “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
14 Es jums saku: šis nogāja savā namā taisnots pār to otru; jo kas pats paaugstinājās, tas taps pazemots, un kas pats pazemojās, tas taps paaugstināts.”
This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, while everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.’
15 Un tie arī bērniņus atnesa pie Viņa, ka Viņš tos aizskartu, bet to redzēdami tie mācekļi tos aprāja.
Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.
16 Bet Jēzus tos pieaicināja un sacīja: “Laidiet tos bērniņus pie Manis un neliedziet tiem; jo tādiem Dieva valstība pieder.
Jesus, however, called the little children to him. ‘Let the little children come to me,’ he said, ‘and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of God belongs.
17 Patiesi, Es jums saku: ja kas Dieva valstību nedabū kā bērniņš, tas nenāks tur iekšā.”
I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.’
18 Un viens virsnieks Tam jautāja un sacīja: “Labais Mācītāj, ko man būs darīt, lai es iemantoju mūžīgu dzīvošanu?” (aiōnios g166)
And one of the leaders asked Jesus this question – ‘Good teacher, what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
19 Un Jēzus uz to sacīja: “Ko tu Mani sauci par labu? neviens nav labs kā vien Tas Vienīgais Dievs.
‘Why do you call me good?’ answered Jesus. ‘No one is good but God.
20 Tu tos baušļus zini: tev nebūs laulību pārkāpt; tev nebūs nokaut; tev nebūs zagt; tev nebūs nepatiesu liecību dot; godā savu tēvu un savu māti.”
You know the commandments – Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honour your father and your mother.’
21 Bet tas sacīja: “Visu to esmu turējis no pašas jaunības.”
‘I have observed all these,’ he replied, ‘from childhood.’
22 Bet Jēzus to dzirdēdams uz to sacīja: “Vienas lietas tev vēl trūkst; pārdod visu, kas tev ir un izdali nabagiem; tad tev manta būs debesīs, un nāc un staigā Man pakaļ.”
Hearing this, Jesus said to him, ‘There is one thing still lacking in you; sell everything that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.’
23 Bet, šos vārdus dzirdot, tas ļoti noskuma, jo viņš bija ļoti bagāts.
But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
24 Un Jēzus redzēdams, ka tas bija noskumis, sacīja: “Cik grūti bagātie ieies Dieva valstībā?
Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Jo vieglāki ir, kamielim iet caur adatas aci, nekā bagātam ieiet Dieva valstībā!”
It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!’
26 Tad tie, kas to dzirdēja, sacīja: “Kas tad var kļūt Dieva valstībā?”
‘Then who can be saved?’ asked those who heard this.
27 Bet Viņš sacīja: “Kas cilvēkiem neiespējams, tas Dievam iespējams.”
But Jesus said, ‘What is impossible with people is possible with God.’
28 Un Pēteris sacīja: “Redzi, mēs visu esam atstājuši un Tev pakaļ gājuši.”
‘But we,’ said Peter, ‘we left what belonged to us and followed you.’
29 Un Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Patiesi, Es jums saku: neviens nav, kas atstājis mājas vai vecākus vai brāļus vai sievu vai bērnus Dieva valstības dēļ,
‘I tell you,’ he answered, ‘that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Un tos divpadsmit pie Sevis ņēmis, Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Redzi, mēs noejam uz Jeruzālemi, un viss taps piepildīts, ko pravieši rakstījuši par To Cilvēka Dēlu.
Gathering the Twelve round him, Jesus said to them, ‘Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there everything that is written in the prophets will be done to the Son of Man.
32 Jo Viņš taps nodots pagāniem un taps apmēdīts un lamāts un apspļaudīts;
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat on;
33 Un tie To šaustīs un nokaus, un trešā dienā Viņš atkal augšām celsies.”
they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.’
34 Bet viņi nesaprata no tā nenieka, un šī valoda viņiem bija apslēpta, un nesaprata to, kas bija sacīts.
The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.
35 Bet gadījās, Viņam tuvu klāt nākot pie Jērikus, viens akls sēdēja ceļmalā un nabagoja.
As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
36 Bet kad tas tos ļaudis dzirdēja garām ejam, tad tas jautāja, kas tur esot.
Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
37 Un viņi tam atbildēja: “Jēzus no Nacaretes iet garām.”
and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
38 Tad tas brēca un sacīja: “Jēzu, Dāvida dēls, apžēlojies par mani!”
he shouted out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!’
39 Bet tie, kas priekšā gāja, to apsauca, lai būtu klusu. Bet viņš vēl vairāk brēca: “Tu Dāvida dēls, apžēlojies par mani!”
Those who were in front kept telling him to be quiet, but he continued to call out the louder, ‘Son of David, take pity on me!’
40 Bet Jēzus apstājās un pavēlēja, to atvest pie Sevis; bet kad tie to pie Viņa bija atveduši, tad Viņš to jautāja,
Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, Jesus asked him,
41 Sacīdams: “Ko tu gribi, lai Es tev daru?” Viņš atbildēja: “Kungs, ka varu redzēt.”
‘What do you want me to do for you?’ ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I want to recover my sight.’
42 Un Jēzus uz to sacīja: “Esi redzīgs, tava ticība tev palīdzējusi.”
And Jesus said, ‘Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.’
43 Un tūdaļ viņš tapa redzīgs un Tam staigāja pakaļ, Dievu teikdams. Un visi ļaudis, kas to redzēja, slavēja Dievu.
Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
