1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man, so, be reckoning of us, as officers of Christ, and stewards of sacred secrets of God.
Par tādiem lai ikviens cilvēks mūs tura: par Kristus kalpiem un par Dieva noslēpumu nama turētājiem.
2 Here, furthermore, it is sought in stewards, that, faithful, one be found.
Visnotaļ nu pie nama turētājiem meklē, ka tie top atrasti uzticīgi.
3 With me, however, it counteth for the very smallest thing, that, by you, I should be examined, or by a human day. Nay! I am not even examining myself,
Bet tā man maza lieta, ka es no jums, jeb no cilvēku tiesas kļūstu tiesāts, un es arī pats sevi netiesāju.
4 For, of nothing, to myself, am I conscious: nevertheless, not hereby, am I declared righteous, but, he that doth examine me, is the Lord.
Es gan nenieka neapzinos, bet tādēļ vēl neesmu taisnots; bet kas mani tiesā, ir Tas Kungs.
5 So then, not before the fitting time, be judging anything, —until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and, then, the praise shall come to each one, 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 But, these things, brethren, have I transferred unto myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that, in us, ye might learn [the lesson] —Not beyond the things that are written…! that ye do not puff yourselves up, individually, for this one against that.
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 maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? But, if thou didst even receive it, why dost thou boast, as though thou hadst 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 Already, ye have become full, already, ye are become rich, —apart from us, ye are become kings! And I would indeed ye had become kings, that, we also, with you, might have together become kings!
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, hath set forth, us the apostles, to be last of all, as men devoted to death, —in that, a spectacle, have we been made, unto the world, —both unto messengers and unto men.
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 foolish for Christ’s sake, but, ye, prudent in Christ; we are weak, but, ye, mighty; ye, all-glorious, but, we, dishonoured.
Mēs esam ģeķi Kristus dēļ bet jūs prātīgi iekš Kristus; mēs vāji, bet jūs spēcīgi; jūs cienīgi, bet mēs nicināti.
11 Until the present hour, we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and are wanderers,
Mēs līdz šai pašai stundai esam izsalkuši un noslāpuši un esam pliki un topam sisti un dzenāti
12 And toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless, being persecuted, we hold on,
Un darbojamies strādādami ar savām rokām; mēs topam lamāti, un svētījam; mēs topam vajāti, un paciešamies;
13 Being defamed, we beseech: as the sweepings of the world have we become, the offscouring of all—until even now.
Mēs topam zaimoti un lūdzam; mēs esam tapuši tā kā mēsli pasaulē un visiem par noslauku līdz šim.
14 Not, to shame you, write I these things; but, as my beloved children, I admonish you.
To nerakstu, jūs apkaunodams, bet es jūs pamācu kā savus mīļos bērnus.
15 For, though myriads of tutors ye should have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for, in Christ Jesus, through means of the joyful message, I, begat you.
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 beseech you, therefore, —become imitators of me.
Tāpēc jūs pamācu: dzenaties man pakaļ.
17 For this cause, sent I unto you, Timothy, —who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put, you, in mind of my ways which are in Christ [Jesus], even as, everywhere, in every assembly, I teach.
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 But, as though I were not coming unto you, some are puffed up!
Bet citi uzpūzdamies saka, ka es pie jums nenākšot.
19 Howbeit, I will come quickly unto you, —if, the Lord, please, —and will get to know—not the speech of them 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, not in speech, is the kingdom of God, but, in power.
Jo Dieva valstība nestāv vārdos, bet spēkā.
21 What will ye? that, with a rod, I should come unto you? or, with love, and a spirit of meekness?
Ko jūs gribat? Vai man pie jums būs nākt ar rīksti, vai ar mīlestību un ar lēnu garu?
