< Galatians 2 >
1 After that, fourteen years later, I, again, went up unto Jerusalem, with Barnabas, taking with me Titus also;
Pēc tam, pēc četrpadsmit gadiem, es atkal nogāju uz Jeruzālemi ar Barnabu, arī Titu paņemdams līdz.
2 And I went up by revelation, and laid before them the glad-message which I proclaim among the nations; privately, however, to them of repute, —lest, by any means, in vain, I should be running, or had run.
Bet es turp nogāju caur kādu parādīšanu un tiem to evaņģēliju, ko es sludināju starp pagāniem, liku priekšā un sevišķi tiem jo cienīgiem, lai es velti neteku vai nebūtu skrējis.
3 But, not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised; —
Bet arī Titus, kas bija ar mani, Grieķis būdams, netapa spiests apgraizīties;
4 But, [this was] because of the false brethren secretly introduced, —who, indeed, came in secretly to spy out our freedom, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: —
Bet to ielīdušo viltīgo brāļu dēļ, kas bija iezagušies, izlūkot mūsu brīvību, kas mums ir iekš Kristus Jēzus, ka tie mūs darītu par kalpiem, -
5 Unto whom, not even for an hour, gave we place by the [required] submission, —in order that, the truth of the glad-message, might still abide with you.
Tiem mēs ne acumirkli neesam ceļu griezuši nedz paklausījuši, lai evaņģēlija patiesība pie jums paliktu.
6 Moreover, from them who were reputed to be something, —whatsoever at one time, they were, maketh no difference to me, God accepteth not a man’s person, —unto me, in fact, they who were of repute added nothing further;
Bet no tiem, kas bija jo cienīgi (kādi tie jebkad bijuši, tas man vienalga, Dievs neuzlūko cilvēka vaigu), šie jo cienīgie man neko nav uzlikuši klāt.
7 But, on the contrary, —when they saw that I had been entrusted with the glad-message to the uncircumcision, even as, Peter, [with that] to the circumcision,
Bet turpretī, kad tie redzēja, ka evaņģēlijs man ir uzticēts pie tiem, kam ir priekšāda, tā kā Pēterim pie tiem, kas ir apgraizīti,
8 For, he that energised in Peter, into an apostleship to the circumcision, energised also in me, for the nations, —
(Jo Tas, kas ar Pēteri bijis spēcīgs apustuļu amatā pie apgraizītiem, Tas arī bijis spēcīgs ar mani pie pagāniem) -
9 And when they perceived the favour which had been given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave, the right hand of fellowship, unto me and Barnabas, in order that, we, [should go] unto the nations, and, they, unto the circumcision: —
Un kad Jēkabs, Kefas un Jānis, ko turēja par pīlāriem, atzina to žēlastību, kas man bija dota; tad tie man un Barnabam roku deva uz biedrību, lai mēs mācītu pagānus un viņi (mācītu) apgraizītos;
10 Only that we should remember, the destitute, —as to which I had given diligence, this very thing, to do.
Tikai lai mēs nabagus pieminētu, - un es arī esmu rūpējies to izdarīt.
11 But, when Cephas came unto Antioch, to the face, [even], him, I resisted, because he stood condemned;
Un kad Pēteris bija nācis uz Antioķiju, tad es tam acīs stājos pretī, jo viņš bija apsūdzams.
12 For, before that certain came from James, with them of the nations, used he to eat; whereas, when they came, he used to withdraw, and keep himself separate, fearing them of the circumcision;
Jo, pirms nekā no Jēkaba kādi bija atnākuši, viņš ēda kopā ar pagāniem; bet kad tie bija atnākuši, tad viņš atrāvās un nošķīrās, bīdamies tos no apgraizīšanas.
13 And the rest of the Jews [also] used hypocrisy with him, so that, even Barnabas, was carried away by their hypocrisy.
Un līdz ar viņu arī tie citi Jūdi apgrēkojās ar liekulību, tā ka arī Barnaba līdz tapa nogriezts caur viņu liekulību.
14 But, when I saw that they were not walking with straightforwardness as regardeth the truth of the glad-message, I said unto Cephas, before all: If, thou, although, a Jew, like them of the nations, and not like the Jews, dost live, how dost thou compel, them of the nations, to live like Jews?
Bet kad es redzēju, ka tie nestaigā pareizi pēc evaņģēlija patiesības, tad es Pēterim sacīju visiem dzirdot: Ja tu Jūds būdams dzīvo ka pagāns un nekā Jūds, ko tu spiedi pagānus, lai tie dzīvo kā Jūdi?
15 We, by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the nations,
Mēs no dzimuma esam Jūdi un ne grēcinieki no pagāniem;
16 Knowing, however, that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, [nor at all] save through faith in Christ Jesus; even we, on Christ Jesus, believed, that we might be declared righteous—by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous.
Bet zinādami, ka cilvēks netop taisnots caur bauslības darbiem, bet caur Jēzus Kristus ticību, arī mēs esam ticējuši uz Kristu Jēzu, lai topam taisnoti caur Kristus ticību un ne caur bauslības darbiem: tāpēc ka caur bauslības darbiem neviena miesa netaps taisnota.
17 Now, if in seeking to be declared righteous in Christ we, ourselves also, were found sinners, —is Christ, therefore, a minister, of sin? Far be it!
Bet ja mēs, kas meklējam tapt taisnoti iekš Kristus, arī paši topam atrasti grēcinieki, - vai tad Kristus ir grēka kalps? Nemaz ne!
18 For, if, the things that I pulled down, these, again, I build, a transgressor, I prove, myself, to be.
Jo ja es to, ko esmu nolauzis, atkal uztaisu, tad pats kļūstu par pārkāpēju.
19 For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live: —
Jo es caur bauslību bauslībai esmu miris, lai dzīvotu Dievam.
20 With Christ, have I been crucified; and, living no longer, am, I, but, living in me, is, Christ, —while, so far as I now do live in flesh, by faith, I live—The faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up in my behalf.
Es ar Kristu esmu krustā sists, bet es dzīvoju, tomēr vairs ne es, bet iekš manis dzīvo Kristus, un ko es tagad dzīvoju miesā, to dzīvoju ticībā uz To Dieva Dēlu, kas mani mīlējis un Pats par mani nodevies.
21 I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.
Es nenicināju Dieva žēlastību; jo ja taisnība ir caur bauslību, tad Kristus velti miris.
