Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 18
1 Tanī pašā stundā tie mācekļi gāja pie Jēzus un sacīja: “Kas ir tas lielākais Debesu valstībā?”
On the same occasion the disciples came to Jesus, and asked him, ‘Who is really the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’
2 Un Jēzus aicināja vienu bērnu pie Sevis, un to veda pašā viņu vidū,
Jesus called a little child to him, and placed it in the middle of them, and then said,
3 Un sacīja: “Patiesi, Es jums saku, ja jūs neatgriežaties un netopat kā bērni, tad jūs nenāksiet Debesu valstībā.
‘I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven at all.
4 Tāpēc, kas pats zemojās, kā šis bērns, tas ir tas lielākais Debesu valstībā.
Therefore, anyone who will humble themselves like this child – that person will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 Un kas tādu bērnu uzņem Manā Vārdā, tas uzņem Mani.
And anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even one little child like this, is welcoming me.
6 Bet kas apgrēcina vienu no šiem vismazākiem, kas tic uz Mani, tam būtu labāki, ka tam pakārtu pie kakla dzirnu akmeni un to noslīcinātu jūrā, visdziļākā vietā.
But, if anyone puts temptation in the way of one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be best for them to be sunk in the depths of the sea with a great millstone hung round their neck.
7 Vai pasaulei apgrēcības dēļ! Apgrēcībai gan vajag nākt, bet vai tam cilvēkam, caur ko nāk apgrēcība!
Alas for the world because of such temptations! There cannot but be temptations but sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!
8 Tāpēc, ja tava roka vai tava kāja tevi apgrēcina, tad nocērt to un met to nost; jo tas tev labāki, ka tu ieej dzīvošanā tizls vai kroplis, nekā tev ir divas rokas vai kājas, un tu topi iemests mūžīgā ugunī. (aiōnios g166)
‘If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off, and throw it away. It would be better for you to enter life maimed or lame, than to have both hands, or both feet, and be thrown into the fire that never goes out. (aiōnios g166)
9 Un ja tava acs tevi apgrēcina, izrauj to un met to nost; tas tev labāki, ar vienu aci ieiet dzīvošanā, nekā tev ir divas acis, un tu topi iemests elles ugunī. (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to sin, take it out, and throw it away. It would be better for you to enter the life with only one eye, than to have both eyes and be thrown into the fires of Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
10 Pielūkojiet, ka jūs nevienu no šiem mazajiem nenicinājiet; jo es jums saku, ka viņu eņģeļi debesīs vienmēr redz Mana debes' Tēva vaigu.
Beware of despising one of these little ones, for in heaven, I tell you, their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 Jo Tas Cilvēka Dēls ir nācis, atpestīt to, kas pazudis.
12 Kā jums šķiet? Ja kādam cilvēkam būtu simts avis, un viena no tām būtu nomaldījusies, vai viņš neatstātu tās deviņdesmit deviņas un neietu kalnos, to meklēt, kas nomaldījusies?
‘What think you? If a person owns a hundred sheep, and one of them strays, will the person not leave the ninety-nine on the hills, and go and search for the one that is straying?
13 Un ja tas notiek, ka to atrod, patiesi, Es jums saku, ka tas vairāk par to priecājās, nekā par tām deviņdesmit un deviņām, kas nav nomaldījušās.
And, if they succeed in finding it, I tell you that they rejoice more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine which did not stray.
14 Tāpat tas nav jūsu debes' Tēva prāts, ka vienam no šiem mazajiem būs pazust.
So, too, it is the will of my Father who is in heaven that not one of these little ones should be lost.
15 Bet ja tavs brālis pret tevi grēko, tad noej un pārmāci viņu starp sevi un viņu vienu pašu; kad viņš tevi klausa, tad tu savu brāli esi mantojis.
‘If your brother or sister does wrong, go to them and convince them of their fault when you are both alone. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
16 Un ja viņš negrib klausīt, tad ņem klāt vēl vienu vai divus, lai no divēju vai treju liecinieku mutes ikkatrs vārds top apstiprināts.
But, if they do not listen to you, take with you one or two others, so that on the evidence of two or three witnesses, every word may be put beyond dispute.
17 Bet ja viņš tos neklausa, tad saki to draudzei; bet ja viņš arī draudzi neklausa, tad turi viņu par pagānu un muitnieku.
If they refuse to listen to them, speak to the church; and, if they also refuse to listen to the church, treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax-gatherer.
18 Patiesi, Es jums saku, ko vien jūs virs zemes siesiet, tas arī būs siets debesis; un ko vien jūs virs zemes atraisīsiet, tas arī būs atraisīts debesīs.
‘I tell you, all that you forbid on earth will be held in heaven to be forbidden, and all that you allow on earth will be held in heaven to be allowed.
19 Atkal Es jums saku: ja divi no jums virs zemes ir vienā prātā jebkuras lietas dēļ, ko tie grib lūgt, tad tā tiem taps dota no Mana Tēva, kas ir debesīs.
Again, I tell you that, if but two of you on earth agree as to what they will pray for, whatever it be, it will be granted them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 Jo kur divi vai trīs ir sapulcināti Manā Vārdā, tur Es esmu viņu vidū.”
For where two or three have come together in my name, I am present with them.’
21 Tad Pēteris gāja pie Viņa un sacīja: “Kungs, cikkārt man būs piedot savam brālim, kas pret mani grēko? Vai ir diezgan septiņ reiz?”
Then Peter came up, and said to Jesus, ‘Master, how often am I to forgive someone who wrongs me? As many as seven times?’
22 Jēzus uz to saka: “Es tev nesaku septiņ reiz, bet septiņdesmit reiz septiņ.
But Jesus answered, ‘Not seven times, but seventy times seven.
23 Tāpēc Debesu valstība ir kā kāds ķēniņš, kas ar saviem kalpiem gribēja parādu izlīdzināt.
Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Un kad viņš iesāka līdzību turēt, viens viņam tapa pievests, tas bija viņam parādā desmit tūkstošus podus.
When he had begun to do so, one of them was brought to him who owed him ten thousand bags of gold;
25 Un kad tas to nespēja maksāt, tad tas kungs pavēlēja, viņu pārdot ar sievu un bērniem un visu, kas tam bija, un maksāt.
and, as he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold towards the payment of the debt, together with his wife, and his children, and everything that he had.
26 Tad tas kalps pie zemes krizdams viņu gauži lūdzās un sacīja: “Kungs, cieties ar mani, es tev visnotaļ gribu maksāt.”
The servant threw himself down on the ground before him and said “Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.”
27 Tad tam kungam palika tā kalpa žēl, un viņš to palaida un to parādu tam arī atlaida.
The master was moved with compassion; and he let him go, and forgave him the debt.
28 Bet kad tas pats kalps bija ārā izgājis, tad tas atrada vienu no saviem darba biedriem; tas bija viņam parādā simts sudraba grašus, un viņš sakampis to žņaudza un sacīja: “Maksā, ko tu man esi parādā.”
But, on going out, that same servant came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. Seizing him by the throat, he said “Pay what you owe me.”
29 Tad viņa darba biedrs tam krita pie kājām, lūdzās un sacīja: “Cieties ar mani, es tev visnotaļ maksāšu.”
His fellow servant threw himself on the ground and begged for mercy. “Have patience with me,” he said, “and I will pay you.”
30 Un viņš negribēja; un nogājis to iemeta cietumā, tiekams tas maksātu, ko bija parādā.
But the other would not, but went and put him in prison until he should pay his debt.
31 Kad nu viņa darba biedri to redzēja, tad tas tiem gauži sāpēja, un nākuši tie pasacīja savam kungam visu, kas bija noticis.
When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and went to their master and laid the whole matter before him.
32 Tad viņa kungs to aicināja priekšā un uz to sacīja: “Tu blēdīgais kalps, visu šo parādu es tev esmu atlaidis, kad tu mani lūdzi.
So the master sent for the servant, and said to him “You wicked servant! When you begged me for mercy, I forgave you the whole of that debt.
33 Vai tad tev arīdzan nebija apžēloties par savu darba biedru, kā es tevi esmu žēlojis.”
Shouldn’t you, also, to have shown mercy to your fellow servant, just as I showed mercy to you?”
34 Un viņa kungs apskaities to nodeva tiem mocītājiem, kamēr tas maksātu visu, ko tam bija parādā.
Then his master, in anger, handed him over to the jailers, until he should pay the whole of his debt.
35 Tā arī Mans Debesu Tēvs jums darīs, ja jūs nepiedosiet no sirds ikviens savam brālim viņa pārkāpšanas.”
So, also, will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each one of you forgives his brother or sister from your heart.’
