Pāvila 1. Vēstule Timotejam 6
1 Visiem, kas ir kalpi apakš jūga, tiem būs savus kungus visā godā turēt, lai Dieva vārdu un mācību nezaimo.
As for slaves [DOU] [who are believers, teach them that they] should consider that it is right for them to honor their masters in every way. If they do that, people will not speak (against/evil about) God [MTY] and they will not speak (against/evil about) that which [we apostles] teach, [because they will see that the slaves are being respectful of their masters].
2 Bet tiem, kam ir ticīgi kungi, nebūs viņus nicināt, tāpēc ka šie ir brāļi, bet jo vairāk kalpot, tāpēc ka šie, kas šo labumu dabū, ir ticīgi un mīlēti; to māci un pavēli.
[Slaves] who have masters who believe [in Christ] must not be disrespectful to their masters just because their masters are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve [their masters] even better because [their masters] are fellow believers whom [God] loves and who benefit when [the slaves] serve them well. As you teach these things [to your congregation], exhort/urge [people] that they do them.
3 Ja kas citu mācību māca un nenāk pie mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus veselīgiem vārdiem un pie dievbijāšanas mācības,
Some people teach things that are different. What they teach (does not agree with/is not like) the correct teaching that our Lord Jesus Christ [taught] (OR, that is about our Lord Jesus Christ). They do not say that we should conduct our lives (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]).
4 Tas ir uzpūsts un nezin nenieka, bet vārgst iekš jautāšanām un vārdu ķildām, no kā ceļas skaudība, bāršanās, zaimošanas, ļaunas domas,
Such people are very proud and do not understand anything [HYP]. Instead, they abnormally/wrongly desire to [argue about unimportant] matters and about certain words. As a result, [people who listen to them] (envy [others/] to have what others have). They quarrel [with others and with one another]. They say bad things about [others. They] suspect/think that [others] have evil ([motives/reasons for doing what they do]).
5 Nelietīgas apjautāšanas tādiem, kam prāti sajaukti, kam patiesība zudusi, kam šķiet, dievbijāšanu esam mantas pelnīšanu: - atkāpies no tādiem!
Their whole way of thinking has become completely wrong [because] they have rejected the true [doctrine/teaching]. As a result, they [mistakenly] think that (by practicing religion/by saying that they believe in God) they will gain a lot of [money].
6 Bet tā ir liela mantošana, ja kas ir dievbijīgs un pieticīgs.
[Well, we] truly do gain great [benefit] when we conduct our lives (in a [godly manner/] a [manner that pleases God]) and we are content [with what we have].
7 Jo mēs nenieka neesam ienesuši pasaulē, tad ir zināms, ka mēs arī nenieka nevaram iznest.
We brought nothing into the world [when we were born], and we cannot take anything out [of it when we die],
8 Bet kad mums sava barība un apģērbs, tad lai mums pietiek.
so if we have food and clothing, we should be satisfied with these.
9 Bet kas grib bagāts tapt, tie krīt kārdināšanā un valgā un daudz bezprātīgās un nelabās kārībās, kas cilvēkus gāž samaitāšanā un pazušanā.
But some people strongly desire to be rich. As a result, they [do wrong things to get money, and this will cause them to] be caught/trapped [MET] as animals get caught in traps. They foolishly desire many things, and those desires cause them to get hurt. And God will completely reject [them]!
10 Jo naudas kārība ir visa ļaunuma sakne; pēc tās dzīdamies daži ir nomaldījušies no ticības un paši ar daudz sāpēm sadūrušies.
All kinds of bad things will happen to people who [PRS] desire to have a lot of money. Because some people longed for money, they have stopped believing the doctrine/teaching [that all of us believe] and they have caused themselves much grief/sadness.
11 Bet tu, Dieva cilvēks, bēdz no šīm lietām; dzenies pēc taisnības, dievbijāšanas, ticības, mīlestības, pacietības, laipnības;
But as for you, who are a man who [serves God], (keep completely away from such love of money/do not be like the people who love money). Decide that you will do what is right, and that you will (be godly/do what pleases God). Decide that you will trust [God], and that you will love [others]. Endure [difficult circumstances]. Always be gentle [with people].
12 Cīnies to labo ticības cīnīšanos, sagrāb to mūžīgo dzīvību, uz ko tu arīdzan esi aicināts un esi apliecinājis labu liecību daudz liecinieku priekšā. (aiōnios g166)
Try earnestly and with all your energy/strength [MET] to live in accordance with what you believe. [Continue to do your tasks well in order that] you will know for sure that you will live eternally. Remember that [God] chose you to [live with him], and that when many elders were listening you said strongly ([what you believe/that you trust in Christ]). (aiōnios g166)
13 Es tev pavēlu Dieva priekšā, kas visu dara dzīvu, un Jēzus Kristus priekšā, kas apakš Poncius Pilatus apliecinājis to labo liecību,
God, who gives life to all things, knows everything that you do. Christ Jesus also knows everything that you do. He strongly declared what was true when [he was on trial before] Pontius Pilate.
14 Šo bausli turēt neaptraipītu, nenicinātu līdz mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus atspīdēšanai,
I command you that as you keep all that in mind, in every way you (hold fast/obey) to what Christ has commanded us [DOU]. (Hold fast/obey) to those teachings in a way that our Lord Jesus Christ cannot (criticize you about/say that what you did was wrong), until he comes again.
15 Ko savā laikā parādīs tas svētais un vienīgi varenais, tas visu ķēniņu Ķēniņš un visu kungu Kungs,
[Remember that God] will cause Jesus to come again at the proper time. God is awesome! He is the only Ruler! He rules over all other people who rule!
16 Kam vien ir nemirstība, kas dzīvo nepieejamā gaišumā, ko neviens cilvēks nav redzējis, nedz var redzēt. Tam lai ir gods un mūžīga vara! Āmen. (aiōnios g166)
He is the only one who will never die, [and he lives in heaven surrounded by] light [that is so bright that] no one can approach it! He is the one whom no person has ever seen and whom no person is able to see! My desire is that all people will honor him and that he [will rule] powerfully [MTY] forever! (May it be so!/Amen!) (aiōnios g166)
17 Tiem bagātiem šinī pasaulē pavēli, lai tie augsti neturas, nedz cerē uz to nepastāvīgo bagātību, bet uz To dzīvo Dievu, kas mums visas lietas bagātīgi pasniedz par atspirgšanu; (aiōn g165)
Tell [the believers] who are rich here in this present world that they should not be proud, and that they should not trust in their many [possessions], because they cannot be certain [how long they will have them]. Teach them that instead of [trusting in their wealth, they should trust] in God. He is the one who generously gives us everything we have in order that we may enjoy it. (aiōn g165)
18 Lai tie labu dara, bagāti top iekš labiem darbiem, labprāt izdala, ir devīgi,
Also, tell them that their good deeds must be as plentiful [as their money]. Specifically, they should share very generously with others [what they have].
19 Lai sev mantas krāj par labu pamatu uz nākamo laiku, ka tie dabū mūžīgo dzīvošanu.
If they do that, [Jesus will give them a great reward. It will be as though] they are piling up [in heaven] treasure for themselves that will (be a good [basis on which they may rely] for/result in their) receiving a great reward in the future (OR, which will be [as] solid [as] the foundation [MET] [of a house]). By doing this they will experience what real life is like.
20 Ak Timotej, glabā to uzticēto mantu, atraudamies no tām nesvētām valodām un tukšām strīdu runām, kas ceļas no tās gudrības, ko par nepatiesu tā sauc;
Timothy, faithfully proclaim/protect the true message (OR, do the work) that [Jesus] has given [to you]. (Avoid/Do not listen to) [people who want to] chatter about things that are not important to God. (Avoid/Do not listen to) [people who claim/say that they have] ‘true knowledge’ but who say things that oppose/contradict [our true teaching].
21 Pie kuras turēdamies daži nomaldījušies no ticības. Žēlastība lai ir ar tevi! Āmen.
([Keep completely away from/Reject completely]) [such teaching. Remember that] some people who claim [to have this ‘knowledge’] have stopped believing what [all of us] believe. ([I desire that/May]) [God continue to act] kindly toward you all.
