Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 13
1 Tanī dienā Jēzus no nama izgājis, apsēdās jūrmalā.
That same day, when Jesus had left the house and was sitting by the sea,
2 Un daudz ļaužu pie viņa sapulcējās, tā ka Viņš laivā iekāpis tur atsēdās, un visi tie ļaudis stāvēja malā.
such great crowds gathered round him, that he got into a boat, and sat in it, while all the people stood on the beach.
3 Un Viņš uz tiem daudz runāja caur līdzībām un sacīja: “Redzi, sējējs izgāja sēt.
Then he told them many truths in parables. ‘The sower,’ he began, ‘went out to sow; and,
4 Un viņam sējot cita sēkla krita ceļmalā; un putni nāca un to apēda.
as they were sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 Un cita krita uz akmenāju, kur tai nebija daudz zemes; un tā tūdaļ uzdīga, tāpēc ka tai nebija dziļas zemes.
Some fell on rocky places, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once.
6 Bet kad saule bija uzlēkusi, tad tā savīta un nokalta, tāpēc ka viņai nebija saknes.
As soon as the sun had risen, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
7 Bet cita krita starp ērkšķiem, un ērkšķi uzauga un to apmāca.
Some, again, fell into the brambles; but the brambles shot up and choked it.
8 Bet cita krita uz labu zemi un nesa augļus, cita simtkārtīgus un cita sešdesmitkārtīgus un cita trīsdesmitkārtīgus.
Some, however, fell on good soil, and yielded a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.
9 Kam ausis dzirdēt, tas lai dzird.”
Let those who have ears hear.’
10 Un tie mācekļi piegājuši uz Viņu sacīja: “Kādēļ Tu uz tiem runā caur līdzībām?”
Afterwards his disciples came to him, and said, ‘Why do you speak to them in parables?’
11 Bet Viņš atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Jums ir dots zināt Dieva valstības noslēpumus, bet tiem tas nav dots.
‘To you,’ answered Jesus, ‘the knowledge of the hidden truths of the kingdom of heaven has been imparted, but not to those.
12 Jo kam ir, tam taps dots, un tam būs pārlieku; bet kam nav, no tā taps atņemts arī tas, kas tam ir.
For, to all who have, more will be given, and they will have abundance; but, from all who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
13 Tāpēc Es uz tiem runāju caur līdzībām, lai tie redzēdami neredz, un dzirdēdami nedzird, nedz saprot.
That is why I speak to them in parables, because, though they have eyes, they do not see, and though they have ears, they do not hear or understand.
14 Un pie tiem pravieša Jesajas vārdi piepildās, kas saka: “Ausīm jūs dzirdēsiet, bet nesapratīsiet; un redzēdami jūs redzēsiet, bet nenomanīsiet.
In them is being fulfilled that prophecy of Isaiah which says – “You will hear with your ears without ever understanding, and, though you have eyes, you will see without ever perceiving,
15 Jo šo ļaužu sirds ir palikusi cieta, un ar ausīm tie ir pakurli un savas acis tie aizdarījuši, ka tie acīm neredz un ausīm nedzird un sirdī nesaprot, un neatgriežas, ka Es tos dziedinātu.”
for the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; otherwise some day they might perceive with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn – and I might heal them.”
16 Bet svētīgas ir jūsu acis, jo tās redz, un jūsu ausis, jo tās dzird.
‘But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear;
17 Jo patiesi, Es jums saku, ka daudz pravieši un taisni ir vēlējušies redzēt, ko jūs redzat, un nav redzējuši, un dzirdēt, ko jūs dzirdat, un nav dzirdējuši.
for I tell you that many prophets and good people have longed for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never saw them, and to hear the things which you are hearing, yet never heard them.
18 Tad nu klausāties jūs to līdzību par to sējēju.
‘Listen, then, yourselves to the parable of the sower.
19 Kad kas to vārdu par to valstību dzird un neprot, tad nāk tas ļaunais un rauj to nost, kas viņa sirdī ir sēts. Šis ir tas, kas sēts ceļmalā.
When anyone hears the message of the kingdom without understanding it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their mind. This is the person meant by the seed which was sown along the path.
20 Bet kas uz akmenāju sēts, ir tas, kas to vārdu dzird, un tūdaļ to ar prieku saņem.
By the seed which was sown on rocky places is meant the person who hears the message, and at once accepts it joyfully;
21 Bet viņam nav saknes iekš sevis, un viņš ir nepastāvīgs. Kad nu bēdas uziet un vajāšana tā vārda dēļ, tad viņš tūdaļ ņem apgrēcību.
but, as they have no root, they stand for only a short time; and, when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they fall away at once.
22 Bet kas starp ērkšķiem sēts, ir tas, kas to vārdu dzird, un šīs pasaules zūdīšanās un bagātības viltība apslāpē to vārdu, un tas nenes augļus. (aiōn g165)
By the seed which was sown among the brambles is meant the person who hears the message, but the cares of life and the glamour of wealth completely choke the message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
23 Bet kas uz labu zemi sēts, ir tas, kas to vārdu dzird un saprot un turklāt nes augļus, cits simtkārtīgus un cits sešdesmitkārtīgus un cits trīsdesmitkārtīgus.”
But by the seed which was sown on the good ground is meant the person who hears the message and understands it, and really yields a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.’
24 Vēl citu līdzību Viņš tiem stāstīja un sacīja: “Debesu valstība ir kā kāds cilvēks, kas labu sēklu sēja savā tīrumā.
Another parable which Jesus told them was this – ‘The kingdom of heaven is compared to a person who sowed good seed in their field.
25 Bet ļaudīm guļot viņa ienaidnieks nāca un iesēja niknu zāli kviešu starpā un aizgāja.
But, while everyone was asleep, their enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away.
26 Kad nu labība auga un vārpās metās, tad tā niknā zāle arīdzan rādījās.
So, when the blades of corn shot up, and came into ear, the weeds made their appearance also.
27 Tad tie kalpi gāja pie tā nama tēva un uz to sacīja: “Kungs, vai tu neesi sējis labu sēklu savā tīrumā? No kurienes tad tā niknā zāle rodas?”
The owner’s servants came to them, and said “Was not it good seed that you sowed in your field? Where, then, do the weeds in it come from?”
28 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: “To tas ienaidnieks darījis.” Tad tie kalpi uz to sacīja: “Vai tad tu gribi, ka mēs ejam, to izravēt?”
“An enemy has done this,” was the owner’s answer. “Do you wish us, then,” they asked, “to go and gather them together?”
29 Viņš sacīja: “Nē, ka jūs, to nikno zāli izravēdami, neizplūcat ir tos kviešus.
“No,” said he, “because while you are pulling up the weeds you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 Lai aug abi kopā līdz pļaujamam laikam; un pļaujamā laikā es sacīšu tiem pļāvējiem: “Sakrājiet kopā papriekš to nikno zāli un sieniet to kūlīšos, lai tā top sadedzināta; bet tos kviešus sakrājiet manā šķūnī.”””
Let both grow side by side until harvest; and then I will say to the reapers, Gather the weeds together first, and tie them in bundles for burning; but bring all the wheat into my barn.”’
31 Vēl citu līdzību Viņš tiem stāstīja un sacīja: “Debesu valstība līdzinājās sinepju graudiņam, ko cilvēks ņēmis savā laukā iesēja.
Another parable which he told them was this – ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a person took and sowed in his field.
32 Šī gan ir tā mazākā starp visām sēklām, bet kad tā uzaug, tad tā ir lielāka pār citiem dārza stādiem un paliek par koku, tā ka tie putni apakš debess nāk un ligzdas taisa viņa zaros.”
This seed is smaller than all other seeds, but, when it has grown up, it is larger than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that “the wild birds come and roost in its branches.”’
33 Vēl citu līdzību Viņš tiem sacīja: “Debesu valstība līdzinājās raugam, ko sieva ņēmusi iejauca trīs mēros miltu, tiekams viss sarūga.”
This was another parable which Jesus related – ‘The kingdom of heaven is like some yeast which a woman took and covered up in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.’
34 Visu to Jēzus runāja caur līdzībām uz tiem ļaudīm, un bez līdzībām Viņš uz tiem nerunāja.
Of all this Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; indeed to them he used never to speak at all except in parables,
35 Lai piepildītos, ko tas pravietis runājis sacīdams: “Es Savu muti atdarīšu līdzībās, Es izrunāšu lietas, kas no pasaules iesākuma apslēptas.”
in fulfilment of these words in the prophet – “I will speak to them in parables; I will utter things kept secret since the foundation of the world.”
36 Tad Jēzus tos ļaudis atlaida un pārgāja mājās, un Viņa mācekļi pie Tā piegāja un sacīja: “Izstāsti mums to līdzību par to nikno zāli tīrumā.”
Then Jesus left the crowd, and went into the house. Presently his disciples came to him, and said, ‘Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.’
37 Un Viņš atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Tas, kas to labo sēklu sēj, ir Tas Cilvēka Dēls.
He answered, ‘The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Bet tas lauks ir pasaule, un tā labā sēkla ir tie valstības bērni, un tā niknā zāle ir tā ļaunā bērni.
The field is the world. By the good seed is meant the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the wicked,
39 Un tas ienaidnieks, kas to sējis, ir velns, un tas pļaujamais laiks ir šīs pasaules pastara gals, un tie pļāvēji ir tie eņģeļi. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest time is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Tad nu tā kā tā niknā zāle top salasīta un ugunī sadedzināta, tā arī notiks šīs pasaules pastara galā. (aiōn g165)
And, just as the weeds are gathered and burnt, so it will be at the close of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Tas Cilvēka Dēls sūtīs savus eņģeļus, un tie salasīs no Viņa valstības visas apgrēcības un tos, kas dara netaisnību,
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all that hinders and those who live in sin,
42 Un tos metīs degošā ceplī; tur būs raudāšana un zobu trīcēšana.
and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Tad tie taisnie spīdēs kā saule sava Tēva valstībā. Kam ausis dzirdēt, tas lai dzird!
Then will the righteous shine, like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. If you have ears, listen.
44 Vēl Debesu valstība ir kā tīrumā apslēpta manta, ko cilvēks atradis apslēpa, un priecādamies par to, noiet un pārdod visu, kas tam ir, un pērk šo tīrumu.
‘The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a person found and hid again, and then, in their delight, went and sold everything that they had, and bought that field.
45 Vēl Debesu valstība ir līdzinājama tirgotājam, kas labas pērles meklēja.
‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of choice pearls.
46 Un atradis vienu it dārgu pērli, nogāja un pārdeva visu, kas tam bija, un to nopirka.
Finding one of great value, they went and sold everything that they had, and bought it.
47 Vēl Debesu valstība līdzinājās tīklam, jūrā izmestam, kas visādas zivis savilka.
Or again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was cast into the sea, and caught fish of all kinds.
48 Un kad tas bija pilns, tad tie to pie malas vilkuši un apsēdušies, tās labās ir salasījuši traukos, bet tās sapuvušās metuši ārā.
When it was full, they hauled it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted the good fish into baskets, but threw the worthless ones away.
So will it be at the close of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 Un tos metīs degošā ceplī; tur būs raudāšana un zobu trīcēšana.”
and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Jēzus uz tiem saka: “Vai jūs to visu esat sapratuši?” Tie uz Viņu sacīja: “Esam gan, Kungs.”
‘Have you understood all this?’ Jesus asked. ‘Yes,’ they answered.
52 Tad Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Tāpēc ikkatrs rakstu mācītājs, uz Debesu valstību mācīts, ir līdzīgs nama kungam, kas no savas mantas izdod jaunas un vecas lietas.”
Then he added, ‘So every teacher of the Law, who has received instruction about the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder who produces from his stores things both new and old.’
53 Un notikās, kad Jēzus šīs līdzības bija beidzis, tad Viņš aizgāja no turienes.
When Jesus had finished these parables, he withdrew from that place.
54 Un savā tēva pilsētā nācis, Viņš tos mācīja viņu baznīcā, tā ka tie iztrūcinājās un sacīja: “Kur Šim nāk tāda gudrība un tāds spēks?
Going to his own part of the country, he taught the people in their synagogue in such a manner that they were deeply impressed. ‘Where did he get this wisdom?’ they said, ‘and the miracles?
55 Vai Šis nav tā amatnieka dēls? Vai Viņa māte netop saukta Marija un Viņa brāļi Jēkabs un Jāzeps un Sīmanis un Jūda?
Isn’t he the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Un vai nav visas Viņa māsas pie mums? Kur tad Šis visu to dabūjis?”
And his sisters, too – are not they all living among us? Where, then did he get all this?’
57 Un tie ņēma apgrēcību pie Viņa. Bet Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: “Pravietis nekur netop mazāki cienīts nekā savā tēva zemē un savās mājās.”
These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him. But Jesus said, ‘A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own house.’
58 Un Viņš tur nedarīja daudz brīnumus viņu neticības dēļ.
He did not work many miracles there, because of their want of faith.
