Pāvila 1. Vēstule Korintiešiem 7
1 Bet par to, ko jūs man esat rakstījuši, saku: cilvēkam ir labi, sievas neaizskart;
Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Bet lai maucība nenotiek, tad lai ikkatram ir sava sieva, un lai ikkatrai ir savs vīrs,
But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 Vīrs sievai lai parāda pienākamu mīlestību; tā arīdzan sieva vīram.
Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
4 Sievai nav vaļas par savu miesu, bet vīram; tā arī vīram nav vaļas par savu miesu, bet sievai.
The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
5 Neatraujaties viens otram, kā tikai vienā prātā uz kādu laiku, lai jums vaļa ir Dievu lūgt; un nāciet atkal kopā, lai sātans jūs nekārdina, kad nevarat valdīties.
Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
6 To saku, atvēlēdams un ne pavēlēdams.
But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
7 Jo es gribētu, ka visi cilvēki tādi būtu, kā es; bet ikkatram ir sava dāvana no Dieva, vienam šāda, otram tāda.
Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
8 Bet es saku nelaulātiem un atraitnēm: labi tiem, ja tie paliek itin kā es.
But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
9 Bet ja tie nevar valdīties, tad lai iedodas laulībā: jo labāki ir iedoties laulībā, nekā degt kārībā.
But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
10 Bet laulātiem pavēlu ne es, bet Tas Kungs, lai sieva neatšķiras no vīra.
But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
11 Un ja tā arī būtu atšķīrusies, tad tai būs palikt bez laulības, vai salīgt ar vīru; un lai vīrs neatstumj sievu.
(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
12 Bet tiem citiem saku es, ne Tas Kungs: ja kādam brālim ir neticīga sieva un tai ir pa prātam, dzīvot ar viņu, lai viņš to neatstumj.
But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
13 Un ja sievai ir neticīgs vīrs, un tam ir pa prātam, dzīvot ar viņu, tā lai viņu neatstumj.
The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
14 Jo neticīgais vīrs ir svētīts caur sievu, un neticīgā sieva ir svētīta caur vīru, jo citādi jūsu bērni būtu nešķīsti, bet tagad tie ir svēti.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
15 Bet ja tas neticīgais atšķiras, tad lai tas atšķiras; tas brālis vai tā māsa šinīs lietās nav saistīti. Dievs mūs ir aicinājis uz mieru.
Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.
16 Jo ko tu, sieva, zini, vai tu vīru izglābsi? Jeb ko tu, vīrs, zini, vai tu sievu izglābsi?
For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
17 Tomēr kā kuram Dievs ir piešķīris, kā kuru Tas Kungs ir aicinājis, tā lai tas staigā, un tāpat es pavēlu visās draudzēs.
Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
18 Jo kas ir aicināts apgraizīts, tas lai neuzvelk priekšādu; ja kas ir aicināts iekš priekšādas, tas lai netop apgraizīts.
Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
19 Apgraizīšana nav nekas, un priekšāda nav nekas, bet Dieva baušļu turēšana.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
20 Kā kurš ir aicināts, tā lai viņš paliek.
Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
21 Ja tu kalps būdams esi aicināts, nebēdā par to; bet ja tu vari tapt svabads, tad to jo labāki pieņem.
Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
22 Ja kas iekš Tā Kunga ir aicināts, kalps būdams, tas ir Tā Kunga svabadnieks; tāpat arīdzan, kas svabadnieks būdams, ir aicināts, tas ir Kristus kalps.
For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.
23 Jūs esat dārgi atpirkti; netopiet cilvēku kalpi.
You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men.
24 Ikkatram, brāļi, kā tas ir aicināts, tā tam būs palikt pie Dieva.
Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
25 Bet par tām meitām man nav Tā Kunga pavēles; bet padomu dodu, kā no Tā Kunga žēlastību dabūjis, ka esmu uzticīgs.
Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgement as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
26 Tad nu man šķiet, tā esam labi tagadēja bēdu laika dēļ, ka cilvēkam labi, tāpat palikt.
Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
27 Ja esi saderēts ar sievu, tad nemeklē atlaišanu; ja esi vaļā no sievas, tad nemeklē sievu.
Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don’t seek a wife.
28 Bet ja arī būsi laulībā iedevies, tad neesi grēkojis, un ja meita būs laulībā iedevusies, tad tā nav grēkojusi; bet tādiem pie miesas būs bēdas, bet es jūs gribētu saudzēt.
But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
29 Bet to es saku, brāļi, tas laiks ir īss; tāpēc nu tie, kam sievas, lai ir, tā kā kad tiem nebūtu;
But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
30 Un tie, kas raud, lai ir kā kas neraud; un kas priecājās, kā kas nepriecājās, un kas pērk, kā kas to nepatur:
and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;
31 Un kas šo pasauli lieto, kā kas to nelieto; jo šīs pasaules būšana paiet.
and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
32 Bet es gribu, ka jūs esat bez zūdīšanās. Kas nelaulāts, tas rūpējās par Tā Kunga lietām, kā tas Tam Kungam var patikt;
But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
33 Bet kas laulāts, tas rūpējās par pasaules lietām, kā tas sievai var patikt.
but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
34 Tāda pat starpība ir starp sievu un meitu: tā nelaulātā rūpējās par Tā Kunga lietām, ka tā svēta būtu miesā un garā; bet tā laulātā rūpējās par pasaules lietām, kā tā vīram var patikt.
There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.
35 Un to es saku jums pašiem par labu: ne, ka gribētu jums apmest valgu, bet ka jūs godīgi dzīvojiet un pie Tā Kunga turaties bez mitēšanās.
This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
36 Bet ja kam šķiet, ka viņa meitai, kas pāri par gadiem, tas nepieklājoties, un ja tam tā vajag notikt, tad lai dara, ko gribēdams; viņš negrēko: lai tā laulībā iedodas.
But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately towards his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.
37 Bet kas ir pastāvīgs savā sirdī, un kam vajadzības nav, bet ir vaļa, pēc sava paša prāta darīt, un to savā sirdī ir apņēmies, savu meitu paturēt nelaulātu, - tas dara labi.
But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
38 Tad nu, kas laulībā izdod, tas dara labi, un kas laulībā neizdod, tas dara labāki.
So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who doesn’t give her in marriage does better.
39 Sieva caur bauslību ir sieta, kamēr viņas vīrs dzīvs; bet kad viņas vīrs ir miris, tad tai ir vaļa precēt kuru grib, tikai iekš Tā Kunga.
A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
40 Bet viņa ir jo svētīga, ja viņa tāpat paliek, pēc mana padoma; bet man šķiet, ka man arīdzan ir Dieva Gars.
But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgement, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
