Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 20
1 Jo Debesu valstība ir kā kāds nama tēvs, kas no rīta agrumā izgāja, strādniekus derēt savā vīna kalnā.
For the kingdom of heaven is like an employer who went out in the early morning to hire labourers for his vineyards.
2 Un saderējis ar tiem strādniekiem par vienu sudraba grasi par dienas algu, viņš tos nosūtīja savā vīna kalnā.
He agreed with the labourers to pay them the standard daily rate of two silver coins, and sent them into his vineyard.
3 Un izgājis ap trešo stundu, viņš redzēja vēl citus pie tirgus bez darba stāvam,
On going out again, about nine o’clock, he saw some others standing in the marketplace, doing nothing.
4 Un uz tiem sacīja: “Noejat arī jūs vīna kalnā, es jums došu, kas nākas.”
“You also may go into my vineyard,” he said, “and I will pay you what is fair.”
5 Un tie nogāja. Atkal viņš izgāja ap sesto un devīto stundu un darīja tāpat.
So they went. Going out again about midday and about three o’clock, he did as before.
6 Bet ap vienpadsmito stundu izgājis, viņš atrada vēl citus bez darba stāvam, un uz tiem saka: “Ko jūs visu dienu še stāviet bez darba?”
When he went out about five, he found some others standing there, and said to them “Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?”
7 Tie uz viņu saka: “Neviens mūs nav derējis.” Viņš uz tiem saka: “Ejat jūs arīdzan vīna kalnā, un kas nākas, to jūs dabūsiet.”
“Because no one has hired us,” they answered. “You also may go into my vineyard,” he said.
8 Kad nu vakars metās, tad tas vīna kalna kungs saka savam uzraugam: “Sauc tos strādniekus un dod tiem to algu, no pēdējiem sākdams, pie pirmajiem beigdams.”
In the evening the owner of the vineyard said to his steward “Call the labourers, and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, and ending with the first.”
9 Tad tie nāca, kas ap vienpadsmito stundu derēti, un dabūja savu grasi.
Now when those who had been hired about five o’clock went up, they received two silver coins each.
10 Bet kad tie pirmie nāca, tad tie cerēja vairāk dabūt; un tie arī dabūja ikviens savu grasi.
So, when the first went up, they thought that they would receive more, but they also received two silver coins each;
11 To dabūjuši, tie kurnēja pret to nama tēvu,
at which they began to grumble at their employer.
12 Un sacīja: “Šie pēdējie vienu stundu vien strādājuši, un tu tos esi līdzinājis mums, kas dienas nastu un karstumu esam cietuši.”
“These last,” they said, “have done only one hour’s work, and yet you have put them on the same footing with us, who have borne the brunt of the day’s work, and the heat.”
13 Bet viņš atbildēja un uz vienu no tiem sacīja: “Draugs, es tev netaisnību nedaru. Vai tu ar mani neesi saderējis par vienu grasi?
“My friend,” was his reply to one of them, “I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me for two silver coins?
14 Ņem, kas tev pieder, un ej; bet es šiem pēdējiem gribu tā dot kā tev.
Take what belongs to you, and go. I choose to give to this last man the same as to you.
15 Jeb vai man nav brīv, darīt ar savu mantu, kā es gribu? Jeb vai tava acs tāpēc skauž, ka es esmu labs?”
Don’t I have the right to do as I choose with what is mine? Are you envious because I am generous?”
16 Tā tie pēdējie taps tie pirmie, un tie pirmie tie pēdējie. Jo daudz ir aicināti, bet maz izredzēti.”
So those who are last will be first, and the first last.’
17 Un noiedams uz Jeruzālemi, Jēzus ņēma tos divpadsmit mācekļus pie Sevis un ceļā uz tiem sacīja:
When Jesus was on the point of going up to Jerusalem, he gathered the twelve disciples round him by themselves, and said to them as they were on their way,
18 “Redzi, mēs noejam uz Jeruzālemi, un Tas Cilvēka Dēls taps nodots tiem augstiem priesteriem un rakstu mācītājiem, un tie Viņu pazudinās pie nāves.
‘Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the Law, and they will condemn him to death,
19 Un Viņu nodos tiem pagāniem; tie Viņu apmēdīs, šaustīs un krustā sitīs, un trešā dienā Viņš atkal celsies augšām.”
and give him up to the Gentiles for them to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify; and on the third day he will rise.’
20 Tad Cebedeja dēlu māte ar saviem dēliem nāca pie Viņa, metās zemē un lūdza ko no Viņa.
Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to him with her sons, bowing to the ground, and begging a favour.
21 Un Viņš tai sacīja: “Ko tu gribi?” Tā uz Viņu sacīja: “Saki, lai šie mani divi dēli sēž Tavā valstībā viens Tev pa labo un otrs pa kreiso roku.”
‘What is it that you want?’ he asked. ‘I want you to say,’ she replied, ‘that in your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit, one on your right, and the other on your left.’
22 Bet Jēzus atbildēja un sacīja: “Jūs nezināt, ko jūs lūdzat. Vai jūs varat dzert to biķeri, ko Es dzeršu, un likties kristīties ar to kristību, ar ko Es topu kristīts?” Tie uz viņu sacīja: “Varam gan.”
‘You do not know what you are asking,’ was Jesus’ answer. ‘Can you drink the cup that I am to drink?’ ‘Yes,’ they exclaimed, ‘we can.’
23 Un Viņš uz tiem saka: “Manu biķeri jums gan būs dzert, un ar to kristību, ar ko Mani kristīs, jums būs tapt kristītiem; bet sēdēt pie Manas labās un kreisās rokas, Man nepieder dot, bet tas būs tiem, kam Mans Tēvs to novēlējis.”
‘You will indeed drink my cup,’ he said, ‘but as to a seat at my right and at my left – that is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.’
24 Un kad tie desmit to dzirdēja, tad tie apskaitās par tiem diviem brāļiem.
On hearing of this, the ten others were very indignant about the two brothers.
25 Bet Jēzus tos aicināja pie Sevis un sacīja: “Jūs zināt, ka tie pasaules valdnieki pār ļaudīm valda, un tiem lieliem kungiem pār tiem ir vara.
Jesus, however, called the ten to him, and said, ‘The rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them as you know, and their high officials oppress them.
26 Bet pie jums tā nebūs būt; bet ja kas no jums grib būt liels, tas lai ir jūsu sulainis.
Among you it is not so.
27 Un ja kas grib būt jūsu starpā tas pirmais, tas lai ir jūsu kalps;
No, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to take the first place among you, must be your slave;
28 Tā kā Tas Cilvēka Dēls nav nācis, ka Viņam taptu kalpots, bet ka Viņš kalpotu, un Savu dzīvību dotu par atpirkšanas maksu priekš daudziem.”
just as the Son of Man came, not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’
29 Un kad tie no Jērikus izgāja, tad Viņam daudz ļaužu nāca pakaļ.
As they were going out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him.
30 Un redzi, divi akli sēdēja ceļmalā; kad tie dzirdēja Jēzu secen ejam, tad tie brēca un sacīja: “Apžēlojies par mums, Kungs, Tu Dāvida dēls!”
Two blind men who were sitting by the roadside, hearing that Jesus was passing, called out, ‘Take pity on us, Master, Son of David!’
31 Bet tie ļaudis tos apsauca, ka tie klusu ciestu; bet tie brēca vēl vairāk un sacīja: “Apžēlojies par mums, Kungs, Tu Dāvida dēls!”
The crowd told them to be quiet; but the men only called out the louder, ‘Take pity on us, Master, Son of David!’
32 Un Jēzus apstājās, tos aicināja un sacīja: “Ko jūs gribat, lai Es jums daru?”
Then Jesus stopped and called them. ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ he said.
33 Tie uz Viņu saka: “Kungs, ka mūsu acis top atdarītas.”
‘Master,’ they replied, ‘we want our eyes to be opened.’
34 Un Jēzum palika žēl, un Viņš aizskāra viņu acis, un tūdaļ viņu acis tapa gaišas, un tie Viņam gāja pakaļ.
So Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight, and followed him.
