Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?
Tanī pašā stundā tie mācekļi gāja pie Jēzus un sacīja: “Kas ir tas lielākais Debesu valstībā?”
2 And Jesus having called a little child to [him], set it in their midst,
Un Jēzus aicināja vienu bērnu pie Sevis, un to veda pašā viņu vidū,
3 and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Un sacīja: “Patiesi, Es jums saku, ja jūs neatgriežaties un netopat kā bērni, tad jūs nenāksiet Debesu valstībā.
4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens;
Tāpēc, kas pats zemojās, kā šis bērns, tas ir tas lielākais Debesu valstībā.
5 and whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receives me.
Un kas tādu bērnu uzņem Manā Vārdā, tas uzņem Mani.
6 But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.
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.
7 Woe to the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come; yet woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
Vai pasaulei apgrēcības dēļ! Apgrēcībai gan vajag nākt, bet vai tam cilvēkam, caur ko nāk apgrēcība!
8 And if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut it off and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, [rather] than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
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)
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, [rather] than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
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)
10 See that ye do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you that their angels in [the] heavens continually behold the face of my Father who is in [the] heavens.
Pielūkojiet, ka jūs nevienu no šiem mazajiem nenicinājiet; jo es jums saku, ka viņu eņģeļi debesīs vienmēr redz Mana debes' Tēva vaigu.
11 For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.
Jo Tas Cilvēka Dēls ir nācis, atpestīt to, kas pazudis.
12 What think ye? If a certain man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine on the mountains, go and seek the one that has gone astray?
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?
13 And if it should come to pass that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more because of it than because of the ninety and nine not gone astray.
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.
14 So it is not the will of your Father who is in [the] heavens that one of these little ones should perish.
Tāpat tas nav jūsu debes' Tēva prāts, ka vienam no šiem mazajiem būs pazust.
15 But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him between thee and him alone. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
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.
16 But if he do not hear [thee], take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.
Un ja viņš negrib klausīt, tad ņem klāt vēl vienu vai divus, lai no divēju vai treju liecinieku mutes ikkatrs vārds top apstiprināts.
17 But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer.
Bet ja viņš tos neklausa, tad saki to draudzei; bet ja viņš arī draudzi neklausa, tad turi viņu par pagānu un muitnieku.
18 Verily I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on the earth shall be loosed in heaven.
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.
19 Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in [the] heavens.
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.
20 For where two or three are gathered together unto my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Jo kur divi vai trīs ir sapulcināti Manā Vārdā, tur Es esmu viņu vidū.”
21 Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?
Tad Pēteris gāja pie Viņa un sacīja: “Kungs, cikkārt man būs piedot savam brālim, kas pret mani grēko? Vai ir diezgan septiņ reiz?”
22 Jesus says to him, I say not to thee until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
Jēzus uz to saka: “Es tev nesaku septiņ reiz, bet septiņdesmit reiz septiņ.
23 For this cause the kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who would reckon with his bondmen.
Tāpēc Debesu valstība ir kā kāds ķēniņš, kas ar saviem kalpiem gribēja parādu izlīdzināt.
24 And having begun to reckon, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
Un kad viņš iesāka līdzību turēt, viens viņam tapa pievests, tas bija viņam parādā desmit tūkstošus podus.
25 But he not having anything to pay, [his] lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and everything that he had, and that payment should be made.
Un kad tas to nespēja maksāt, tad tas kungs pavēlēja, viņu pārdot ar sievu un bērniem un visu, kas tam bija, un maksāt.
26 The bondman therefore falling down did him homage, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all.
Tad tas kalps pie zemes krizdams viņu gauži lūdzās un sacīja: “Kungs, cieties ar mani, es tev visnotaļ gribu maksāt.”
27 And the lord of that bondman, being moved with compassion, loosed him and forgave him the loan.
Tad tam kungam palika tā kalpa žēl, un viņš to palaida un to parādu tam arī atlaida.
28 But that bondman having gone out, found one of his fellow-bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he throttled him, saying, Pay [me] if thou owest anything.
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.”
29 His fellow-bondman therefore, having fallen down [at his feet], besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
Tad viņa darba biedrs tam krita pie kājām, lūdzās un sacīja: “Cieties ar mani, es tev visnotaļ maksāšu.”
30 But he would not, but went away and cast him into prison, until he should pay what was owing.
Un viņš negribēja; un nogājis to iemeta cietumā, tiekams tas maksātu, ko bija parādā.
31 But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.
Kad nu viņa darba biedri to redzēja, tad tas tiem gauži sāpēja, un nākuši tie pasacīja savam kungam visu, kas bija noticis.
32 Then his lord, having called him to [him], says to him, Wicked bondman! I forgave thee all that debt because thou besoughtest me;
Tad viņa kungs to aicināja priekšā un uz to sacīja: “Tu blēdīgais kalps, visu šo parādu es tev esmu atlaidis, kad tu mani lūdzi.
33 shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-bondman, as I also had compassion on thee?
Vai tad tev arīdzan nebija apžēloties par savu darba biedru, kā es tevi esmu žēlojis.”
34 And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormentors till he paid all that was owing to him.
Un viņa kungs apskaities to nodeva tiem mocītājiem, kamēr tas maksātu visu, ko tam bija parādā.
35 Thus also my heavenly Father shall do to you if ye forgive not from your hearts every one his brother.
Tā arī Mans Debesu Tēvs jums darīs, ja jūs nepiedosiet no sirds ikviens savam brālim viņa pārkāpšanas.”
