Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
Tanī pašā stundā tie mācekļi gāja pie Jēzus un sacīja: “Kas ir tas lielākais Debesu valstībā?”
2 He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
Un Jēzus aicināja vienu bērnu pie Sevis, un to veda pašā viņu vidū,
3 and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Un sacīja: “Patiesi, Es jums saku, ja jūs neatgriežaties un netopat kā bērni, tad jūs nenāksiet Debesu valstībā.
4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Tāpēc, kas pats zemojās, kā šis bērns, tas ir tas lielākais Debesu valstībā.
5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Un kas tādu bērnu uzņem Manā Vārdā, tas uzņem Mani.
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should 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 stumbling blocks. For there will always be something to cause people to stumble, but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes.
Vai pasaulei apgrēcības dēļ! Apgrēcībai gan vajag nākt, bet vai tam cilvēkam, caur ko nāk apgrēcība!
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the everlasting 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 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell. (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 you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Pielūkojiet, ka jūs nevienu no šiem mazajiem nenicinājiet; jo es jums saku, ka viņu eņģeļi debesīs vienmēr redz Mana debes' Tēva vaigu.
Jo Tas Cilvēka Dēls ir nācis, atpestīt to, kas pazudis.
12 "What do you think? If someone has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which 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 If he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have 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 Even so it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Tāpat tas nav jūsu debes' Tēva prāts, ka vienam no šiem mazajiem būs pazust.
15 "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your 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 does not listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Un ja viņš negrib klausīt, tad ņem klāt vēl vienu vai divus, lai no divēju vai treju liecinieku mutes ikkatrs vārds top apstiprināts.
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to hear the church also, let him be to you as an unbeliever or a tax collector.
Bet ja viņš tos neklausa, tad saki to draudzei; bet ja viņš arī draudzi neklausa, tad turi viņu par pagānu un muitnieku.
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will 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, truly I tell you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
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 in my name, there I am 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 can my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to 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 said to him, "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Jēzus uz to saka: “Es tev nesaku septiņ reiz, bet septiņdesmit reiz septiņ.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
Tāpēc Debesu valstība ir kā kāds ķēniņš, kas ar saviem kalpiem gribēja parādu izlīdzināt.
24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Un kad viņš iesāka līdzību turēt, viens viņam tapa pievests, tas bija viņam parādā desmit tūkstošus podus.
25 But because he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to 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 servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
Tad tas kalps pie zemes krizdams viņu gauži lūdzās un sacīja: “Kungs, cieties ar mani, es tev visnotaļ gribu maksāt.”
27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Tad tam kungam palika tā kalpa žēl, un viņš to palaida un to parādu tam arī atlaida.
28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay what you owe.'
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 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you all.'
Tad viņa darba biedrs tam krita pie kājām, lūdzās un sacīja: “Cieties ar mani, es tev visnotaļ maksāšu.”
30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
Un viņš negribēja; un nogājis to iemeta cietumā, tiekams tas maksātu, ko bija parādā.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
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 called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant. I forgave you all that debt, because you begged 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 Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
Vai tad tev arīdzan nebija apžēloties par savu darba biedru, kā es tevi esmu žēlojis.”
34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
Un viņa kungs apskaities to nodeva tiem mocītājiem, kamēr tas maksātu visu, ko tam bija parādā.
35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you do not each forgive your brother his trespasses from your heart."
Tā arī Mans Debesu Tēvs jums darīs, ja jūs nepiedosiet no sirds ikviens savam brālim viņa pārkāpšanas.”
