Vēstule Ebrējiem 13
1 Brāļu mīlestība lai pastāv.
Continue to love your fellow believers.
2 Neaizmirstiet labprāt dot mājas vietu; jo caur to daži nezinot eņģeļus ir uzņēmuši savās mājās.
Do not forget to be hospitable to needy travelers [LIT]. You need to know that by being hospitable, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
3 Pieminiet tos saistītos, tā kā līdzsaistīti; un tos, kas ļaunumu cieš, kā tādi, kas paši arī vēl esiet miesā.
Remember [to help] those who are in prison [because they are Christians], as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are being mistreated {whom people are mistreating} [because they are believers. As you do that], consider that you you could suffer as they do.
4 Laulība lai ir godīga pie visiem un laulības gulta neapgānīta; bet mauciniekus un laulības pārkāpējus Dievs sodīs.
You must (respect/keep sacred) the marriage relationship in every way, and you must keep sexual relations [EUP] pure, because God will surely condemn those who act immorally and those who act adulterously.
5 Jūsu dzīvošana lai ir bez mantas kārības; esiet mierā ar to, kas pie rokas, jo Viņš ir sacījis: Es tevi neatstāšu, nedz tevi pametīšu;
Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what [Moses] wrote [that God] has said [about supplying what you need], I will never leave you, I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
6 Tā ka droši varam sacīt: Tas Kungs ir mans palīgs, un es nebīšos, ko man darīs cilvēks?
So we can say confidently [as the Psalmist said], Since the Lord is the one who helps me, I will not be afraid! People can do nothing to me [that will deprive me of God’s blessings] [RHQ].
7 Pieminiet savus vadītājus, kas jums to Dieva vārdu runājuši. Uzlūkojiet viņu dzīvošanas galu un dzenaties viņu ticībai pakaļ.
Your spiritual leaders used to tell you the message from God [before they died]. Remember how they conducted their lives. By considering (how they died/what resulted from how they lived), imitate how they believed [in Christ/God].
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn g165)
9 Neļaujaties šaubīties caur dažādām un svešām mācībām; jo tas ir labi, ka sirds top stiprināta caur žēlastību un ne caur ēdieniem, caur ko nekāds labums nav ticis tiem, kas tā staigā.
[So], do not let yourselves be diverted {let anything divert you} so that you believe various teachings [that are contrary to God’s truth]. It is good that God acts kindly toward us so that we may be strengthened spiritually. [Obeying rules about] various foods, rules that have not benefited those who obeyed them, will not benefit us.
10 Mums ir altāris, no kā ēst nevienam nav brīv, kas tai teltī Dievam kalpo.
We have [Jesus] [MTY]. All those who continue to observe the Jewish rituals [MTY] of sacrifice have no right to obtain the benefits of his sacrifice [MET].
11 Jo kuru lopu asinis caur augsto priesteri par grēku top ienestas tai svētā vietā, to pašu miesas top sadedzinātas ārā, lēģera priekšā.
After the high priest brings into the most holy place the blood of animals [that they have sacrificed to atone] for sins, the bodies of those animals are burned {they burn the bodies of those animals} outside the camp.
12 Tāpēc arī Jēzus, lai caur Savām paša asinīm ļaudis svētītu, ir cietis ārā priekš vārtiem.
Similarly, Jesus suffered [and died] outside the gate [of Jerusalem] in order that he might make [us], his people, holy by [offering] his own blood [as a sacrifice to atone for our sins].
13 Tad nu lai izejam pie Viņa ārā, lēģera priekšā, nest Viņa negodu.
So, we must abandon [performing Jewish] sacrifices and rituals [MET] [in order to be saved], and let us go to Jesus [to be saved]. As we do that, we must [be willing to] let others reproach us just like people reproached Jesus.
14 Jo šeitan mums nav paliekama pilsēta, bet to nākamo meklējam.
Here on earth, we believers do not have a city [such as Jerusalem where we must] continually [offer sacrifices] [MET]. Instead, we are waiting for a future [heavenly] city [that will last forever].
15 Tad nu lai caur Viņu Dievam allažiņ pienesam slavas upuri, tas ir, savu lūpu augļus, kas Viņa vārdu apliecina.
With [the help of] Jesus, we must continually praise God. That will be something we can sacrifice [to him] [MET] [instead of our sacrificing animals only at specific times]. Specifically, we must say openly [MTY] [that we have trusted] in Christ [MTY].
16 Neaizmirstiet labu darīt un izdalīt, jo tādi upuri Dievam labi patīk.
Be continually [LIT] doing good deeds [for others], and be continually sharing [with others the things you have], because doing things like that will [also] be [as though you are offering] sacrifices that will please God.
17 Paklausāt saviem vadītājiem un esat viņiem padevīgi; jo tie ir nomodā par jūsu dvēselēm, kā tādi, kam būs atbildēšanu dot, lai tie to dara ar prieku un ne nopūzdamies, jo tas jums nebūtu labi.
Obey your [spiritual] leaders; do what they tell you, since they are the ones who are looking out for your spiritual welfare [SYN]. [Some day] they will have to stand before God so that he can say if he approves of what they have done. Obey them in order that they can do the work of guarding you joyfully, and not have to do it sadly, because if you cause them to do it sadly, that will certainly not help you at all (OR, they will not be able to help you at all).
18 Lūdziet par mums, jo mēs apzināmies, ka mums, kas visās lietās gribam godīgi staigāt, ir laba zināma sirds.
Pray for me. I am certain that I have not done anything that displeases God. I have tried to act honorably [toward you] in every way.
19 Un jo vairāk lūdzu to darīt, lai jo ātri jums topu atdots.
I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
20 Bet Tas miera Dievs, kas no miroņiem atkal atvedis To lielo avju ganu caur mūžīgas derības asinīm, mūsu Kungu Jēzu, (aiōnios g166)
Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios g166)
21 Tas lai jūs dara pilnīgus iekš ikviena laba darba, ka jūs Viņa prātu dariet, un lai rada iekš jums, kas Viņam labi patīk, caur Jēzu Kristu, Viņam lai ir gods mūžīgi mūžam! Āmen. (aiōn g165)
So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
22 Bet es jūs lūdzu, brāļi, panesiet šo pamācīšanu, jo es jums īsiem vārdiem esmu rakstījis.
My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.
23 Zināt, ka brālis Timotejs ir atlaists; ar to, (ja tas drīz nāk) es jūs redzēšu.
I want you to know that our fellow believer Timothy has been released {[the authorities] have released our fellow believer Timothy} [from prison]. If he comes here soon, he will accompany me when I go to see you.
24 Sveicinājiet visus savus vadītājus un visus svētos. Tie brāļi no Itālijas jūs sveicina.
Tell all your [spiritual] leaders and all the [other] fellow believers [in your city] that (I am thinking fondly about them/I am sending them my greetings). The believers [in this area who have come] from Italy [want you to know they] are (thinking about you/sending you their greetings).
25 Žēlastība lai ir ar jums visiem! Āmen.
[I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
