1 Corinthians 12
1 Now, my fellow believers, [I will answer your questions] about the things God’s Spirit [enables believers to do]. I want you to know clearly [LIT] [about these things].
Bet par tām garīgām dāvanām, brāļi, es negribu jums slēpt.
2 You know that before you became Christians, various things led you to [worship] idols, which are unable to tell you [any of God’s message].
Jūs zināt, ka bijāt pagāni, noklīduši pie mēmiem elkadieviem, ka tapāt vadīti.
3 So [the first thing] that I will tell you now is that it is not the Spirit of God who would cause anyone to say, “Jesus deserved to die,” and that the Holy Spirit is the only one who can enable anyone to say, “Jesus is [truly] the Lord.”
Tāpēc jums daru zināmu, ka neviens, kas caur Dieva Garu runā, Jēzu nenolād un neviens nevar Jēzu saukt par Kungu kā vien caur Svēto Garu.
4 There are various things [that God’s] Spirit enables [various believers to do], but it is that same Spirit [who enables us to do them].
Bet ir dažādas dāvanas, tomēr viens pats Gars;
5 There are many different ways to serve [the Lord], but it is the same Lord [whom we all are serving].
Un ir dažādas kalpošanas, tomēr viens pats Kungs;
6 [We believers] have the power to do various [tasks], but it is the same God who gives all of us the power [to do] these things.
Un ir dažādi spēki, bet tomēr viens pats Dievs, kas ir spēcīgs visās lietu lietās.
7 [God’s] Spirit gives his power to each believer in order to benefit all the other [believers].
Bet ikvienam tiek dots, lai to Garu parāda, tuvākam par labu.
8 To some, the Spirit gives the ability to speak very wise messages. To others, the same Spirit gives the ability to know [things that he reveals to them].
Jo caur to Garu citam top dots runāt no gudrības, citam runāt no atzīšanas - pēc tā paša Gara;
9 To others, the same Spirit gives the ability to believe [that God will work miracles]. To others, the Spirit gives the ability to heal [sick people].
Un citam ticība iekš tā paša Gara, un citam dāvanas dziedināt iekš tā paša Gara;
10 To others, he gives the power [to perform] miracles. To others, he gives the ability to speak messages that come directly from God. To others, he gives the ability to tell [if a message is really from God or not]. To others he gives the ability to speak messages in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned]. To others, he gives the ability to tell the meaning of those messages [MTY].
Un citam spēki, brīnumus darīt, un citam Dieva vārda mācīšana, un citam garu pārbaudīšana, un citam dažādas valodas, un citam valodu iztulkošana.
11 It is the same Spirit who gives all these abilities. He gives whatever abilities he wants to give, to whatever person he wants to give them.
Bet visu to padara tas pats viens Gars un izdala ikvienam sevišķi tā, kā Tas grib.
12 Although a person’s body has many parts, all the parts form just one body [DOU]. It is like that [with those who belong to] Christ.
Jo tā kā miesa ir viena un tai daudz locekļu, bet visi locekļi pie tās vienas miesas, daudzi būdami, ir viena miesa; tāpat arī Kristus.
13 When we were baptized {When people baptized us}, the one [Holy] Spirit caused us to become one group [of believers]. It does not matter whether we are Jews or non-Jews. It does not matter whether we are slaves or not slaves. [When we believed in Christ], the one Spirit came to live [MET] within all of us.
Jo mēs arīdzan visi esam kristīti caur vienu Garu par vienu miesu, lai esam Jūdi vai Grieķi, lai kalpi vai svabadnieki; un visi mēs esam dzirdināti ar vienu Garu.
14 [Our] bodies do not have only one part. They have many parts [with various functions].
Jo arī miesa nav viens loceklis, bet daudzi.
15 If our foot could [talk and] say [to us], “Because I am not [your] hand, I am not a part of [your] body,” it would still be a part of [our] body.
Ja kāja sacītu: ka es neesmu roka, tāpēc neesmu no miesas; vai tāpēc viņa nav no miesas?
16 If our ear could [talk and] say, “Because I am not [your] eye, I am not a part of your body,” it would still be a part of our body.
Un ja auss sacītu: ka es neesmu acs, tāpēc neesmu no miesas; vai tāpēc viņa nav no miesas?
17 If our body were only an eye, (we would not be able to hear./how could we hear?) [RHQ] If our body were only an ear, (we would not be able to smell [anything]!/how could we smell [anything]?) [RHQ]
Ja visa miesa būtu acs, kur paliktu dzirdēšana? Ja visa miesa būtu dzirdēšana, kur paliktu ošana?
18 But the truth is that God has put all the parts of our bodies together exactly as he wanted to put them.
Bet tagad Dievs tos locekļus ir licis, ikvienu no tiem pie miesas, tā kā Viņš gribējis.
19 If [our body] had only one part, it would not be a body. [RHQ]
Bet ja tie visi būtu viens loceklis, kur paliktu miesa?
20 But the truth is that there are many parts [in our body], but it is still only one body.
Bet tagad gan ir daudz locekļu, bet viena miesa.
21 That is why if our eye [could talk], it should never say to our hand, “I do not need you!” And if our head [could talk], it should not say to our feet, “I do not need you!”
Un acs nevar sacīt uz roku: man tevis nevajag; jeb atkal galva uz kājām: man jūsu nevajag.
22 Instead, the parts of our body that seem to be weaker are the ones that are absolutely necessary.
Bet daudz vairāk tie miesas locekļi, kas liekās būtu tie vājākie, ir tie jo vajadzīgie.
23 And the parts that we do not think highly of are the parts that we clothe carefully. And we protect carefully those parts that we do not show to people.
Un kas mums liekās pie miesas būt jo negodīgi, tos jo vairāk godājam, un mūsu jo neglītie locekļi dabū jo lielu glītumu.
24 The parts that are [all right to] show people, we do not need to protect. Instead, God, who has put all the parts of our bodies together, causes us to care for in a special way the parts that we think are less important.
Bet mūsu glītiem locekļiem to nevajag; bet Dievs miesu ir salicis, tam maz godātam loceklim augstāku godu dodams,
25 He does that in order that all the parts of our body will work together harmoniously [LIT], and so that all the parts will care for all the other parts equally.
Lai šķelšanās nebūtu iekš miesas, bet lai tie locekļi cits par citu vienlīdzīgi gādātu.
26 If one part of our body hurts, [it is as though] all the parts of our body are hurting. If we pay special attention to one part of our body, [it is as though] all the parts of our body feel pleasure [MET].
Un kad viens loceklis cieš, tad visi locekļi cieš līdz, jeb kad viens loceklis top godāts, tad visi locekļi priecājās līdz.
27 [Everything I have just said about how the parts of our bodies relate to each other applies to how] all of you who belong to Christ [should relate to each other]. Each of you belongs to him, [but you have not all been given the same abilities and work].
Bet jūs esat Kristus miesa un locekļi, ikviens pēc savas kārtas.
28 God has placed apostles in our congregations. Apostles are first [in rank]. Next [in rank] are those who speak messages which come directly from God. Next [in rank] are those who teach [spiritual truth]. Then there are those who have the power to work miracles, those who have the ability to heal [sick people], those who have the ability to help [others], those who have the ability to govern [the affairs of the congregation], and those who have the ability to speak [messages] in languages [MTY] [that they have not learned].
Un citus Dievs ir iecēlis draudzē pirmā kārtā par apustuļiem, otrā kārtā par praviešiem, trešā kārtā par mācītājiem, tad brīnumu darītājus, pēc tam, kam dāvanas dziedināt, palīgus, valdītājus, dažādas valodas.
29 Certainly not all [believers] are apostles. [RHQ] They all do not have the ability to speak messages that come directly from God. [RHQ] They do not all have the ability to teach [spiritual truth]. [RHQ] They do not all have the power to work miracles. [RHQ]
Vai visi ir apustuļi? Vai visi ir pravieši? Vai visi ir mācītāji? Vai visi ir brīnumu darītāji?
30 They do not all have the ability to heal people. [RHQ] They do not all have the ability to speak [messages] in languages [MTY] [they have not learned]. [RHQ] They do not all have the ability to tell others the meaning of those messages. [RHQ] [Certainly not!]
Vai visiem ir dāvanas dziedināt? Vai visi runā valodām? Vai visi var tulkot?
31 But you should eagerly desire to have [the abilities that will help other believers] the most (OR, [the abilities that God considers] to be the most important). But now I will tell you the best way [to use the abilities that God’s Spirit has given you].
Bet dzenaties pēc tām vislabākām dāvanām, un es jums rādīšu vēl jo labāku ceļu.
