Pāvila 2. Vēstule Korintiešiem 5
1 Jo mēs zinām, kad mūsu laicīgais mājoklis, šī būda būs salauzta, tad mums ir ēka no Dieva, mājoklis ne rokām taisīts, kas ir mūžīgs debesīs. (aiōnios g166)
For we know that if our tent – that earthly body which is now our home – is taken down, we have a house of God’s building, a home not made by hands, imperishable, in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
2 Jo šinī būdā mēs nopūšamies un ilgojamies, ka taptu pārģērbti ar savu dzīvokli, kas ir no debesīm;
Even while in our present body we sigh, longing to put over it our heavenly house,
3 Proti, ja pavisam tiksim atrasti apģērbti, ne pliki.
sure that, when we have put it on, we will never be found naked.
4 Jo šinī būdā būdami mēs arī nopūšamies un esam apgrūtināti; tādēļ ka negribam tapt noģērbti, bet pārģērbti, lai tas, kas mirstams, top aprīts no dzīvības.
For we who are in this tent sigh under our burden, unwilling to take it off, yet wishing to put our heavenly body over it, so that all that is mortal may be absorbed in life.
5 Bet kas mūs uz šo pašu sataisa, ir Dievs, kas mums arī devis Tā Gara ķīlu.
And he who has prepared us for this change is God, who has also given us his Spirit as a pledge.
6 Tāpēc mēs arvienu turam drošu prātu un zinām: kamēr mājojam miesās, tikmēr esam svešumā un vēl ne pie Tā Kunga.
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while our home is in the body, we are absent from our home with the Lord.
7 Jo mēs staigājam ticība, ne skatīšanā.
For we guide our lives by faith, and not by what we see.
8 Bet mēs turam drošu prātu un gribam labāki būt ārā no miesām un būt pie Tā Kunga.
And in this confidence we would gladly leave our home in the body, and make our home with the Lord.
9 Tāpēc arī, vai pie Tā Kunga mājās būdami, vai te vēl svešumā, dzenamies uz to, ka Viņam labi patīkam.
Therefore, whether in our home or absent from our home, our one ambition is to please him.
10 Jo mums visiem būs parādīties priekš Kristus soģa krēsla, lai ikviens dabū, ko miesās būdams darījis, vai labu, vai ļaunu.
For at the court of the Christ we must all appear in our true characters, so that each may reap the results of the life which he has lived in the body, in accordance with his actions – whether good or worthless.
11 Tad nu zinādami, ka To Kungu būs bīties, mēs pārliecinājām cilvēkus, bet Dievam esam zināmi; bet es ceru, ka mēs arī esam zināmi jūsu zināmās sirdīs.
Therefore, because we know the fear inspired by the Lord, it is true that we are trying to win people over, but our motives are plain to God; and I hope that in your inmost hearts they are plain to you also.
12 Jo mēs jums atkal neuzteicamies paši, bet jums ko dodam par mums lielīties; lai jums kas ir pret tiem, kas lielās ar to, kas priekš acīm, un ne ar to, kas sirdī.
We are not ‘commending ourselves’ again to you, but rather are giving you cause for pride in us, so that you may have an answer ready for those who pride themselves on appearances and not on character.
13 Jo ja mēs par daudz teikuši, tad tas ir Dievam par godu; jeb ja mēreni, tad jums par labu.
For, if we were ‘beside ourselves,’ it was in God’s service! If we are not in our senses, it is in yours!
14 Jo Kristus mīlestība mūs spiež (atzīt),
It is the love of the Christ which compels us, when we reflect that, as one died for all, therefore all died;
15 Kad spriežam tā: ka, ja viens par visiem ir miris, tad visi miruši. Un Viņš tādēļ par visiem ir miris, lai tie, kas dzīvo, vairs nedzīvo sev pašiem, bet Tam, kas par viņiem miris un uzmodināts.
and that he died for all, so that the living should no longer live for themselves, but for him who died and rose for them.
16 Tad nu uz priekšu mēs nepazīstam nevienu pēc miesas; un jebšu mēs Kristu arī esam pazinuši pēc miesas, tomēr tagad Viņu vairs nepazīstam.
For ourselves, then, from this time forward, we refuse to regard anyone from the world’s standpoint. Even if we once thought of Christ from the standpoint of the world, yet now we do so no longer.
17 Tad nu, ja kas ir iekš Kristus, tas ir jauns radījums. Kas bijis, ir pagājis, redzi, viss ir palicis jauns.
Therefore, if anyone is in union with Christ, he is a new being! His old life has passed away; a new life has begun!
18 Bet viss tas ir no Dieva, kas mūs ir salīdzinājis ar Sevi pašu caur Jēzu Kristu un mums devis to salīdzināšanas amatu.
But all this is the work of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation –
19 Jo Dievs bija iekš Kristus, salīdzinādams pasauli ar Sevi pašu, tiem viņu grēkus nepielīdzinādams, un mūsu starpā ir iecēlis to salīdzināšanas vārdu.
To proclaim that God, in Christ, was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning people’s offences against them, and that he had entrusted us with the message of this reconciliation.
20 Tad nu no Kristus puses mēs esam sūtīti, tā kā Dievs caur mums lūgtu, mēs lūdzam no Kristus puses: ļaujaties salīdzināties ar Dievu.
It is, then, on Christ’s behalf that we are acting as ambassadors, God, as it were, appealing to you through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf – Be reconciled to God.
21 Jo To, kas nekāda grēka nav zinājis, Viņš priekš mums ir darījis par grēku, ka mēs iekš Tā kļūtu Dieva taisnība.
For our sake God made Christ, who was innocent of sin, one with our sinfulness, so that in him we might be made one with the righteousness of God.
