1 Corinthians 4
1 So a person should consider us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.
Par tādiem lai ikviens cilvēks mūs tura: par Kristus kalpiem un par Dieva noslēpumu nama turētājiem.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
Visnotaļ nu pie nama turētājiem meklē, ka tie top atrasti uzticīgi.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I do not judge my own self.
Bet tā man maza lieta, ka es no jums, jeb no cilvēku tiesas kļūstu tiesāts, un es arī pats sevi netiesāju.
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
Es gan nenieka neapzinos, bet tādēļ vēl neesmu taisnots; bet kas mani tiesā, ir Tas Kungs.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one will get his praise from God.
Tad nu netiesājiet neko priekšlaikus, kamēr Tas Kungs nāks, Tas arī vedīs gaismā, kas apslēpts tumsībā, un darīs zināmus siržu padomus; un tad ikvienam sava teikšana būs no Dieva.
6 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to go beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
Bet to es esmu zīmējis, brāļi, uz sevi un uz Apollu jūsu labad, lai jūs mācaties pie mums, nebūt gudrāki pār to, kas ir rakstīts, lai jūs neviena dēļ neuzpūšaties cits pret citu.
7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Jo kas tevi cēlis pār citiem? Un kas tev ir, ko neesi dabūjis? Bet ja tu arī esi dabūjis, ko tu lielies, tā kā nebūtu dabūjis?
8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
Jūs jau esat pieēduši, jau esat palikuši bagāti, bez mums jūs esat sākuši valdīt, un ak! Kaut jūs valdītu, ka arī mēs varētu valdīt līdz ar jums.
9 For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and people.
Jo man šķiet, ka Dievs mūs apustuļus ir nolicis par pēdīgiem tā kā nāvei nodotus; jo mēs esam palikuši kā par ērmiem pasaulei, tā eņģeļiem, kā cilvēkiem.
10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
Mēs esam ģeķi Kristus dēļ bet jūs prātīgi iekš Kristus; mēs vāji, bet jūs spēcīgi; jūs cienīgi, bet mēs nicināti.
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
Mēs līdz šai pašai stundai esam izsalkuši un noslāpuši un esam pliki un topam sisti un dzenāti
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
Un darbojamies strādādami ar savām rokām; mēs topam lamāti, un svētījam; mēs topam vajāti, un paciešamies;
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
Mēs topam zaimoti un lūdzam; mēs esam tapuši tā kā mēsli pasaulē un visiem par noslauku līdz šim.
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
To nerakstu, jūs apkaunodams, bet es jūs pamācu kā savus mīļos bērnus.
15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
Jo jebšu jums būtu desmit tūkstoš pamācītāju iekš Kristus, tad tomēr jums nav daudz tēvu; jo es jūs esmu dzemdinājis iekš Kristus Jēzus caur evaņģēliju.
16 I appeal to you therefore, be imitators of me.
Tāpēc jūs pamācu: dzenaties man pakaļ.
17 Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.
Tādēļ jums esmu sūtījis Timoteju, kas ir mans mīļais un uzticīgais bērns iekš Tā Kunga; tas jums atgādinās manus ceļus iekš Kristus, kā es visur visās draudzēs mācu.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
Bet citi uzpūzdamies saka, ka es pie jums nenākšot.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
Bet es drīz pie jums nākšu, ja Tas Kungs gribēs, un redzēšu - ne to vārdus, kas uzpūtušies, bet viņu spēku.
20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Jo Dieva valstība nestāv vārdos, bet spēkā.
21 What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
Ko jūs gribat? Vai man pie jums būs nākt ar rīksti, vai ar mīlestību un ar lēnu garu?
