Jāņa Evaņg̒elijs 10
1 Patiesi, patiesi, Es jums saku: kas neieiet pa durvīm avju kūtī, bet kāpj citur kur iekšā, tas ir zaglis un slepkava.
[Jesus continued by saying to us], “Listen carefully to what I say. Anyone who does not enter [the sheep pen] through the gate, if he climbs in some other way, he is a thief or a bandit.
2 Bet kas ieiet pa durvīm, tas ir tas avju gans.
The man who enters [the pen] through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 Tam tas durvju sargs atver, un tās avis klausa viņa balsi, un viņš savas avis sauc pie vārda un tās izved.
The man who watches the gate at [night] opens the gate for him. The sheep recognize the shepherd’s voice. He summons his own sheep by [calling out] the names [he has given] them. Then he leads them outside [the pen].
4 Un kad viņš savas avis izlaidis, tad tas iet viņu priekšā; un tās avis tam iet pakaļ, jo tās viņa balsi pazīst.
After he has brought out all his own [sheep], he goes in front of them. His sheep follow him because they recognize [and pay attention to] his voice.
5 Bet svešam tās neiet pakaļ, bet bēg no tā, jo tās tā svešā balsi nepazīst.”
But they will never follow a stranger. Instead, they will run away from him, because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
6 Šo līdzību Jēzus uz tiem sacīja; bet tie nesaprata, kas tas bija, ko Viņš uz tiem runāja.
Jesus said that [MET] [to illustrate the difference between himself and the Pharisees, who were deceiving the people]. But they did not understand what he was telling them.
7 Tad Jēzus atkal uz tiem sacīja: “Patiesi, patiesi, Es jums saku: Es esmu tās durvis pie tām avīm.
So Jesus spoke to them again. He said, “Listen carefully to what I am saying. I am [like] [MET] a gate for the sheep [to enter the sheepfold, because I am the one who allows people to enter God’s presence].
8 Visi, kas priekš Manis nākuši, tie bijuši zagļi un slepkavas, bet tās avis tiem nav klausījušas.
All of [your religious leaders] who have come previously [without my authority] are [like] [MET] thieves and bandits [because they act violently and dishonestly for their own benefit]. But [just like] sheep do not [obey strangers, God’s people do not] pay attention to them.
9 Es esmu tās durvis; ja kas caur Mani ieiet, tas taps svēts, un tas ieies un izies un atradīs ganības.
I am [like] a gate. Those will be saved {[God] will save all those} who come [to God] by [trusting in] me. [Just like sheep] go in and out [through the gate safely] to find pasture [MET], [I will provide for them and protect them].
10 Zaglis nenāk kā vien gribēdams zagt, žņaugt un nokaut; Es esmu nācis, ka tiem būtu dzīvība un viss papilnam.
Thieves come [to a sheep pen] only to steal or kill or destroy [sheep] [MET]. [Similarly, your religious leaders injure God’s people spiritually]. But I have come in order that people may have [eternal/spiritual] life, and that they may have abundantly [all they need to sustain them spiritually].
11 Es esmu tas labais gans: labais gans dod Savu dvēseli par tām avīm.
I am [like] a good shepherd. A good shepherd [is willing to] die to save the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, I am ready to sacrifice myself to save those who belong to me].
12 Bet derēts gans, kas nav īstais gans, kam tās avis nepieder, redz vilku nākam un tās avis atstāj un bēg, un vilks tās sakampj un izklīdina.
A worker whom someone has hired [to look after the sheep] is not [like] the shepherd or the one who owns the sheep. So when he sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock of sheep and [seizes one sheep and] causes [the others] to scatter.
13 Bet tas derētais gans bēg, tāpēc ka viņš derēts, un nebēdā par tām avīm.
The worker runs away because he is [only] a man whom someone has hired. He is not [really] concerned about [what happens to] the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, your religious teachers do not really care what happens to you].
14 Es esmu tas labais gans un pazīstu Savas avis, un tās Mani pazīst.
I am [like] a good shepherd. [Just like a good shepherd knows his] sheep [MET], I know those who belong to me, and they know me
15 Itin kā Mani Tas Tēvs pazīst, tāpat arī Es To Tēvu pazīstu; un Es dodu Savu dzīvību par tām avīm.
in the same way as [my] Father knows me and I know [my] Father. Furthermore, I am [ready to] sacrifice myself for [those who belong to me].
16 Man arī vēl citas avis, tās nav no šīs kūts. Arī tās Man būs atvest; un tās dzirdēs Manu balsi, un būs viens pats ganāmpulks, viens pats gans.
And I have other people [who are not Jews] who [will some day] belong to me. They will be [like] [MET] sheep from another sheep pen. I must bring them [to God/myself] also. They will pay attention to what I say, and eventually [all those who belong to me] will be [like] one flock, and [I] will be [like] [MET] their one shepherd.
17 Tāpēc Tas Tēvs Mani mīl, kā Es Savu dzīvību dodu, lai Es to atkal ņemu.
The reason [my] Father loves me is that I will sacrifice my life. But [after I do that], I will become alive again.
18 Neviens to neņem no Manis, bet Es to dodu no Sevis. Man ir vara, to dot, un Man ir vara, to atkal ņemt. Šo likumu Es esmu dabūjis no Sava Tēva.”
No one is causing me to die. Instead, I [have chosen to] sacrifice myself. I have authority to sacrifice myself and I have authority to become alive again. That is what my Father has commanded me to do.”
19 Tad atkal šķelšanās cēlās starp tiem Jūdiem šo vārdu dēļ.
After hearing these words [that Jesus said], the Jews were divided again.
20 Jo daudz no tiem sacīja: “Viņam ir velns un Viņš ir traks; ko jūs Viņu klausāt?”
Many of them said, “A demon is [controlling] him and has caused him to become crazy. (It is useless to listen to him!/Why should we listen to him?) [RHQ]”
21 Citi sacīja: “Šie vārdi nav velna apsēsta vārdi; vai velns akliem acis var atdarīt?”
But others said, “What he is saying is not something a man whom a demon is controlling would say. (No demon could enable a blind man to see [like he did!/] How could a demon enable a blind man to see [like he did]?) [RHQ]”
22 Un Jeruzālemē bija Dieva nama iesvētīšanas svētki, un bija ziema.
Then it was time for the celebration [to remember when our ancestors] rededicated [the Temple in Jerusalem]. It was in winter.
23 Un Jēzus staigāja Dieva namā, Salamana priekšnamā.
Jesus was in the Temple [courtyard], walking in [the place that people called King] Solomon’s porch.
24 Tad tie Jūdi Viņu apstāja un uz Viņu sacīja: “Cik ilgi Tu mūsu dvēseles kavē? Ja Tu esi Kristus, tad saki mums to skaidri.”
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] gathered around him and said, “How long will you keep us from knowing for sure [if you are the Messiah]? If you are the Messiah, tell us clearly!”
25 Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Es jums to esmu sacījis, un jūs neticat. Tie darbi, ko Es daru Sava Tēva vārdā, šie dod liecību par Mani.
Jesus answered them, “I have told you [that I am the Messiah], but you do not believe me! You should know who I am because of the miracles I do with my Father’s authority [MTY].
26 Bet jūs neticat, jo jūs neesat no Manām avīm, kā Es jums esmu sacījis.
But instead, you do not believe in me because you do not belong to [me. You are like] [MET] sheep [who belong to a different shepherd].
27 Manas avis Manu balsi klausa, un Es tās pazīstu, un tās Man iet pakaļ.
[Just like sheep] heed the voice [of their true shepherd] [MET], my [people pay attention to what I say]. I know them, and they have become my disciples.
29 Mans Tēvs, kas Man tās devis, ir lielāks pār visiem, un neviens tās nevar izraut no Mana Tēva rokas.
[Those] that my Father has given to me are more precious than anything else (OR, My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anything that opposes them). So no one can pull them away from belonging to him [MTY].
30 Es un Tas Tēvs, mēs esam viens.”
[My] father and I are equal.”
31 Tad tie Jūdi atkal pacēla akmeņus, Viņu nomētāt.
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again picked up stones to throw at Jesus [and kill him because they were angry at his saying that he was equal with God].
32 Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Daudz labus darbus Es jums esmu rādījis no Sava Tēva; kura darba dēļ jūs Mani mētājiet ar akmeņiem?”
But Jesus said to them, “You have seen me perform many miracles that my Father [told me to do. You should realize from seeing them that I am equal with God]. So, because of which of these miracles [IRO] are you wanting to [kill me by] throwing stones at me?”
33 Tie Jūdi Viņam atbildēja un sacīja: “Laba darba dēļ mēs Tevi nemētājam, bet zaimošanas dēļ un ka Tu cilvēks būdams pats Sevi dari par Dievu.”
The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “We are [wanting to] throw stones at you not because you performed a great miracle. Instead, [we are wanting to do it] because you are dishonoring God. You are just a man, but you are saying that you are God!”
34 Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Vai jūsu bauslībā nav rakstīts: Es esmu sacījis, jūs esat dievi;
Jesus replied to them, “In the Scriptures it is written {([someone/the Psalmist]) has written} [RHQ] [what God said to the rulers whom he had appointed], ‘I have said that you are [like] gods.’
35 Kad tā nu tos sauca par dieviem, uz kuriem Dieva vārds ir noticis, un to rakstu nevar atmest,
God said that [to those leaders when he appointed them. No one objected to that]. And nothing that is in Scripture can be set aside {no one can set aside anything that is in Scripture}.
36 Ko tad jūs sakāt uz Mani, ko Tas Tēvs svētījis un pasaulē sūtījis: Tu Dievu zaimo; tāpēc ka Es esmu sacījis: Es esmu Dieva Dēls?
But I am the one [my] Father set apart to completely belong to him. He sent me here into this world. So (why are you angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the man who is also God?/you should not be angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the person who is both God and man!) [RHQ]
37 Ja Es Sava Tēva darbus nedaru, tad neticiet Man.
If I were not doing the miracles that my Father [told me to do, I would not expect] you to believe in me.
38 Bet ja Es tos daru, tad, ja nu neticat Man, tad ticat jel tiem darbiem, lai jūs atzīstat un ticat, ka Tas Tēvs ir iekš Manis, un Es iekš Viņa.”
But because I perform these miracles, believe [what] these miracles [show about me], even though you do not believe what I [say]. If you do that, then you will know and understand that [my] Father has a close relationship with me, and I have a close relationship with [my] Father.”
39 Tad tie atkal Viņu meklēja gūstīt, bet Viņš izgāja no viņu rokām.
After they heard that, they tried to seize him again, but he got away from them.
40 Un Viņš atkal cēlās pāri Jardānai uz to vietu, kur Jānis iesākumā kristīja, un palika tur.
Then Jesus went, along [with us], back across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. We went to the place where John was previously baptizing [people]. He/We stayed there [for a few weeks].
41 Un daudz pie Viņa nāca un sacīja: “Jebšu Jānis nav darījis nevienas brīnuma zīmes, tomēr viss, ko Jānis par Šo sacījis, tas ir tiesa.”
Many people came to Jesus. They were saying, “John never performed a miracle, [but this man has performed many miracles]! Everything that John said about this man is true!”
42 Un daudzi tur ticēja uz Viņu.
Many people [who came] there believed ([that Jesus was the Messiah/that Jesus truly had come from God]).
