Pāvila 1. Vēstule Korintiešiem 16
1 Bet par tām sametamām dāvanām priekš tiem svētiem, kā es to esmu iecēlis Galatijas draudzēs, tāpat dariet jūs arīdzan.
Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.
2 Ikkatrā pirmā nedēļas dienā lai ikviens no jums pie sevis paša ko laba noliek un sakrāj, cik viņš paspēj, lai tās dāvanas nav jāsalasa tad tik, kad es nākšu.
Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.
3 Un kad es nonākšu, tad tos, ko būsiet ieskatījuši par derīgiem, ar grāmatām sūtīšu, jūsu dāvanas nonest uz Jeruzālemi.
Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.
4 Bet ja arīdzan būtu vērts, ka arī es tur noeju, tad tie man var nākt līdz.
And if [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.
5 Bet pie jums es nākšu, kad Maķedoniju būšu izstaigājis, jo es gribu iet caur Maķedoniju.
Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.
6 Un var būt, ka es pie jums kādu brīdi palikšu, vai arī mitīšu par ziemu, ka jūs mani pavadiet, kurp es noiešu.
Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.
7 Jo tagad es jūs negribu redzēt tikai garām iedams, bet ceru kādu laiku pie jums palikt, ja Tas Kungs to vēlēs.
I do not want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.
8 Bet Efesū es palikšu līdz vasaras svētkiem.
But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].
9 Jo man lielas un plašas durvis ir atvērtas, un pretinieku ir daudz.
[I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].
10 Un kad Timotejs nāk, tad pielūkojiet, ka tas pie jums ir bez bailēm; jo viņš strādā Tā Kunga darbu, tāpat kā es.
When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as I am.
11 Tāpēc lai neviens viņu nenicina; bet pavadiet viņu ar mieru, lai tas nāk pie manis, jo es viņu gaidu ar tiem brāļiem.
Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].
12 Bet brāli Apollu es dažkārt esmu skubinājis, lai ar tiem brāļiem pie jums noiet, bet viņam prāts pavisam nebija tagad iet, bet tomēr tas ies, kad tam būs izdevīgs laiks.
[You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an opportunity.
13 Esiet modrīgi, stāviet ticībā, turaties kā vīri, esiet stipri.
Be on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].
14 Viss pie jums lai notiek iekš mīlestības.
Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].
15 Un es jūs lūdzu, brāļi: jūs zināt Stefana namu, ka tie ir tie pirmie no Akajas, un ka tie ir nodevušies tiem svētiem uz kalpošanu:
You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’s people.
16 Ka arī jūs tiem tādiem paklausiet un ikkatram, kas līdzi strādā un pūlējās.
My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.
17 Bet es priecājos par Stefana un Fortunata un Akaīka atnākšanu, jo kad jūs pie manis neesat, tad šie ir pie manis jūsu vietā.
I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].
18 Jo tie atspirdzinājuši manu un jūsu garu; tāpēc atzīstiet tos par tādiem.
They comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.
19 Āzijas draudzes jūs sveicina: Aķila un Prisķila ar to draudzi, kas viņu namā, jūs daudz sveicina iekš Tā Kunga.
The congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.
20 Visi brāļi jūs sveicina. Sveicināties savā starpā ar svētu skūpstīšanu.
All your fellow believers [here] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking of) you. Greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
21 Es Pāvils, jūs sveicināju, es ar savu pašu roku.
Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.
22 Ja kas nemīl To Kungu Jēzu Kristu, tas lai ir nolādēts; Maran ata (Tas Kungs nāk)!
(I pray that God will/May God) curse/cause bad things to happen to (anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus. I pray that our Lord will come soon/May our Lord come soon)!
23 Tā Kunga Jēzus Kristus žēlastība lai ir ar jums.
I pray that our Lord Jesus will/May our Lord Jesus (continue to act toward you all kindly/in ways that you do not deserve.)
24 Mana mīlestība ir ar jums visiem iekš Jēzus Kristus. Āmen.
I love all of you who have a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
