Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 21
1 Un kad tie tuvu pie Jeruzālemes nāca, pie Betfagas, pie Eļļas kalna, tad Jēzus sūtīja divus no Saviem mācekļiem
When they had almost reached Jerusalem, having come as far as Bethphage, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two disciples.
2 Un tiem sacīja: “Ejat uz to miestu, kas jūsu priekšā; un tūdaļ jūs atradīsiet ēzeļa māti piesietu un pie tās kumeļu. Atraisījuši atvediet tos pie Manis.
‘Go to the village facing you,’ he said, ‘and you will immediately find a donkey tethered, with a foal by her side; untie her, and lead her here for me.
3 Un ja kas jums ko sacīs, tad atsakāt: “Tam Kungam to vajag,” tūdaļ viņš jums tos atlaidīs.”
And, if anyone says anything to you, you are to say this – “The Master wants them”; and he will send them at once.’
4 Bet viss tas notika, lai piepildās, ko tas pravietis sacījis sludinādams:
This happened in fulfilment of these words in the prophet –
5 “Sakait Ciānas meitai: redzi, tavs ķēniņš nāk pie tevis, lēnprātīgs, jādams uz ēzeļa un nastu nesējas ēzeļa mātes kumeļa.”
“Say to the people of Zion – ‘Your King is coming to you, gentle, and riding on a donkey, and on the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 Tie mācekļi nogāja un darīja, kā Jēzus tiem bija pavēlējis.
So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
7 Un atveda to ēzeļa māti un to kumeļu, un uzlika savas drēbes un sēdināja Viņu tur virsū.
They led the donkey and the foal back, and, when they had put their cloaks on them, he seated himself on them.
8 Bet daudz ļaužu izklāja savas drēbes uz ceļa; bet citi cirta zarus no kokiem un izkaisīja tos uz ceļa.
The immense crowd of people spread their cloaks in the road, while some cut branches off the trees, and spread them on the road.
9 Bet tie ļaudis, kas priekšā gāja un no aizmugures staigāja, kliedza un sauca: “Ozianna Tam Dāvida dēlam, slavēts, kas nāk Tā Kunga Vārdā! Ozianna visaugstākās debesīs!”
The crowds that led the way, as well as those that followed behind, kept shouting, ‘God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God save him from on high!’
10 Bet kad Viņš Jeruzālemē iejāja, tad visa pilsēta cēlās un sacīja: “Kas Tas tāds?”
When he had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, and asked –
11 Bet tie ļaudis sacīja: “Šis ir Jēzus, tas pravietis no Nacaretes iekš Galilejas.”
‘Who is this?’, to which the crowd replied – ‘This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.’
12 Un Jēzus iegāja Dieva namā un izdzina visus, kas Dieva namā pārdeva un pirka, un apgāza galdus tiem naudas mijējiem un krēslus tiem baložu pārdevējiem,
Jesus went into the Temple Courts, and drove out all those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of the pigeon-dealers,
13 Un uz tiem sacīja: “Stāv rakstīts: “Mans nams taps nosaukts lūgšanas nams,” bet jūs to esat darījuši par slepkavu bedri.”
and said to them, ‘Scripture says “My house will be called a house of prayer”; but you are making it a den of robbers.’
14 Un tur akli un tizli nogāja pie Viņa Dieva namā, un Viņš tos dziedināja.
While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured them.
15 Bet kad tie augstie priesteri un rakstu mācītāji redzēja tos brīnuma darbus, ko Viņš darīja, un tos bērnus Dieva namā brēcam un sakām: “Ozianna tam Dāvida dēlam!” tad tie apskaitās,
But, when the chief priests and the teachers of the Law saw the wonderful things that Jesus did, and the boys who were calling out in the Temple Courts ‘God save the Son of David!’, they were indignant,
16 Un uz Viņu sacīja: “Vai Tu nedzirdi, ko šie saka?” Bet Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: “Dzirdu gan. Vai jūs nekad neesat lasījuši: no bērniņu un zīdāmu mutes Es slavu sataisīšu?”
and said to him, ‘Do you hear what these boys are saying?’ ‘Yes,’ answered Jesus, ‘but did you never read the words – “Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings you have called forth perfect praise”?’
17 Un tos atstājis, Viņš izgāja no pilsētas ārā uz Betaniju un tur pārgulēja.
Then he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.
18 Bet kad Viņš no rīta agrumā atkal uz pilsētu gāja, Viņam gribējās ēst.
The next morning, in returning to the city, Jesus became hungry;
19 Un Viņš redzēja vienu vīģes koku ceļmalā, piegāja pie tā un neatrada uz tā nenieka, kā tik lapas vien, un uz to sacīja: “Uz tevis lai nemūžam vairs auglis neaug.” Un tūdaļ tas vīģes koks nokalta. (aiōn g165)
and, noticing a solitary fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. So he said to it, ‘Never again will fruit be gathered off you.’ And suddenly the fruit tree withered up. (aiōn g165)
20 Un tie mācekļi to redzējuši, brīnījās un sacīja: “Kā tas vīģes koks tik drīz nokaltis?”
When the disciples saw this, they exclaimed in astonishment, ‘How suddenly the fig tree withered up!’
21 Bet Jēzus atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Patiesi, Es jums saku: ja jums ticība ir, un jūs prātā nešaubaties, tad jūs nevien to darīsiet ar to vīģes koku, bet arī, kad jūs šim kalnam sacīsiet: celies no savas vietas un meties jūrā, tad tas notiks.
‘I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘if you have faith, without ever a doubt, you will do what not only what has been done to the fig tree, but, even if you should say to this hill “Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!” it would be done.
22 Un visu, ko jūs savā lūgšanā lūgsiet ticēdami, to jūs dabūsiet.”
And whatever you ask for in your prayers will, if you have faith, be granted you.’
23 Un kad Viņš nāca Dieva namā, tad Viņam mācot tie augstie priesteri un ļaužu vecaji piegāja un sacīja: “Kādā varā Tu šīs lietas dari? Un kas Tev tādu varu devis?”
After Jesus had come into the Temple Courts, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, ‘What authority have you to do these things? Who gave you this authority?’
24 Bet Jēzus atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Es jums arīdzan vienu vārdu gribu vaicāt? ja jūs Man to sacīsiet, tad Es jums arī sacīšu, kādā varā Es šīs lietas daru.
‘I, too,’ said Jesus in reply, ‘will ask you one question; if you will give me an answer to it, then I, also, will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
25 No kurienes bija Jāņa kristība? Vai no debesīm, vai no cilvēkiem?” Bet tie apdomāja savā starpā sacīdami: “Ja mēs sakām: no debesīm, tad Viņš mums sacīs: Kāpēc tad jūs viņam neesat ticējuši?
It is about John’s baptism. What was its origin? Divine or human?’ But they began arguing among themselves, ‘If we say “divine,” he will say to us “Why then didn’t you believe him?”
26 Bet ja mēs sakām: no cilvēkiem, tad mums no tiem ļaudīm jābīstas; jo visi Jāni tur par pravieti.”
But if we say “human,” we are afraid of the people, for everyone regards John as a prophet.’
27 Un tie atbildēja un sacīja: “Mēs nezinām.” Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Tad arī Es jums nesaku, kādā varā Es šīs lietas daru.
So the answer they gave Jesus was – ‘We do not know.’ ‘Then I,’ he said, ‘refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.
28 Bet kā jums šķiet? Vienam cilvēkam bija divi dēli, un tas gāja pie tā pirmā un sacīja: dēls, ej, strādā šodien manā vīna kalnā.
What do you think of this? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the elder and said “Go and work in the vineyard today my son.”
29 Bet tas atbildēja un sacīja: es negribu. Bet pēc tas viņam bija žēl un viņš nogāja.
“Yes, sir,” he answered; but he did not go.
30 Un tas tēvs gāja pie tā otra un sacīja tāpat. Bet tas atbildēja un sacīja: es iešu, kungs! un viņš nenogāja.
Then the father went to the second son, and said the same. “I will not,” he answered; but afterwards he was sorry and went.
31 Kurš no tiem diviem ir darījis sava tēva prātu?” Tie uz Viņu saka: “Tas pirmais.” Jēzus uz viņiem saka: “Patiesi, Es jums saku: muitnieki un maukas drīzāk nāks Dieva valstībā, nekā jūs.
Which of the two sons did as his father wished?’ ‘The second,’ they said. ‘I tell you,’ added Jesus, ‘that tax collectors and prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Jo Jānis pie jums ir nācis pa taisnības ceļu, un jūs viņam neesat ticējuši, bet muitnieki un maukas viņam ticējuši. Bet jebšu jūs to redzējāt, tomēr jums nebija žēl, tā ka viņam pēc būtu ticējuši.
For when John came to you, walking in the path of righteousness, you did not believe him, but tax collectors and prostitutes did; and yet you, though you saw this, even then were not sorry, nor did you believe him.
33 Klausāties citu līdzību. Bija nama tēvs, kas vīna kalnu dēstīja un to aptaisīja ar sētu un tur iekšā izraka vīna spaidu un uztaisīja torni un to izdeva strādniekiem un aizgāja citur.
‘Listen to another parable. A man, who was an employer, once planted a vineyard, put a fence round it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
34 Kad nu augļu laiks atnāca, tad viņš sūtīja savus kalpus pie tiem strādniekiem savus augļus dabūt.
When the time for the grape harvest drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his share of the produce.
35 Bet tie strādnieki viņa kalpus ņēmuši, vienu šauta un otru nokāva un trešo akmeņiem nomētāja.
But the tenants seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36 Atkal tas sūtīja citus kalpus, vairāk nekā papriekš, un tie viņiem tāpat darīja.
A second time the owner sent some servants, a larger number than before, and the tenants treated them in the same way.
37 Beidzot viņš pie tiem sūtīja savu dēlu un sacīja: taču tie kaunēsies no mana dēla.
As a last resource he sent his son to them. “They will respect my son,” he said.
38 Bet kad tie strādnieki to dēlu redzēja, tad tie sacīja savā starpā: šis ir tas mantinieks; nāciet, nokausim to un paturēsim viņa mantību.
But the tenants, on seeing his son, said to each other “Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.”
39 Tad tie viņu ņēmuši izmeta no vīna kalna ārā un nokāva.
So they seized him, and threw him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Kad nu tas vīna kalna kungs nāks, ko viņš šiem strādniekiem darīs?”
Now, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?’
41 Viņi uz To sacīja: “Viņš šos ļaundarītājus nežēlīgi nomaitās un to vīna kalnu izdos citiem strādniekiem, kas viņam augļus dos īstenā laikā.”
‘Miserable wretches!’ they exclaimed, ‘he will put them to a miserable death, and he will let out the vineyard to other tenants, who will pay him his share of the produce at the proper times.’
42 Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: vai jūs nekad Dieva rakstos neesat lasījuši: tas akmens, ko tie nama taisītāji atmetuši, tas ir palicis par stūra akmeni; tas ir no Tā Kunga un ir brīnums mūsu acīs?
Then Jesus added, ‘Have you never read in the scriptures? – “The stone which the builders despised – has now itself become the cornerstone. This cornerstone has come from the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.”
43 Tāpēc Es jums saku: Dieva valstība jums taps atņemta un pagāniem dota, kas nes viņas augļus.
That, I tell you, is why the kingdom of God will be taken from you, and given to a nation that does produce the fruit of the kingdom.
44 Un kas uz šo akmeni kritīs, tas sadauzīsies, bet uz ko tas krīt, to tas satrieks.”
Yes, and he who falls on this stone will be dashed to pieces, while anyone on whom it falls – it will scatter him as dust.’
45 Un kad tie augstie priesteri un farizeji Viņa līdzības dzirdēja, tad tie nomanīja, ka Tas par viņiem runāja.
After listening to these parables, the chief priests and the Pharisees saw that it was about them that he was speaking;
46 Un meklēdami Viņu tvert, tie bijās no tiem ļaudīm, tāpēc ka tie Viņu cienīja par pravieti.
yet, although eager to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who regarded him as a prophet.
