< Jāņa Evaņg̒elijs 15 >

1 Es esmu tas īstenais vīna koks, un Mans Tēvs ir tas vīna dārznieks.
[Jesus talked to us as we were walking along. Speaking figuratively of the need for us to live in a way that God wants us to, he said], “I am like [MET] a genuine vine, [not like those Jewish leaders who do not teach the truth]. My father is like [MET] a gardener who [works to] take care of a vineyard.
2 Ikvienu zaru pie Manis, kas augļus nenes, to Viņš noņem, un ikvienu, kas augļus nes, to Viņš šķīsta, lai tas jo vairāk augļus nes.
[Just like a gardener] cuts off the branches that bear no grapes [MET], [God gets rid of those who do not please him even though they say that they belong to him]. Those branches that bear fruit, [the gardener] trims so that they may bear more grapes. [Similarly, my Father disciplines/corrects those who live as he wants them to live].
3 Jūs tagad esat šķīsti tā vārda dēļ, ko Es uz jums esmu runājis.
You are already [like] the branches [that a gardener] trims because [you have believed] the message that I have told you.
4 Paliekat iekš Manis, un Es iekš jums. Itin kā zars nevar augļus nest no sevis, ja tas nepaliek iekš vīna koka; tā arī jūs ne, ja jūs nepaliekat iekš Manis.
Remain having a close relationship with me. [If you do that], I will remain having a close relationship with you. A branch [of a vine] cannot bear fruit [if it is cut off and left] by itself. To bear fruit, it must remain attached to the vine. Similarly, you cannot [live the way that God wants you to] if you do not remain united to me [MET].
5 Es esmu tas vīna koks, jūs tie zari; kas paliek iekš Manis un Es iekš viņa, tas nes daudz augļus; jo bez Manis jūs nenieka nespējat darīt.
I am [like] [MET] a vine. You are [like] [MET] the branches. All those who have a close relationship with me and with whom I have a close relationship will [do much that pleases God, like] [MET] [a vine that] bears much fruit. [Remember that] you can do nothing [HYP] [that truly pleases God] without my [help].
6 Ja kas nepaliek iekš Manis, tas ir izmests, tā kā kāds zars, un ir sakaltis; un tie top sakrāti un ugunī iemesti un sadedzināti.
[A gardener cuts off and] throws away useless branches. Then, after they dry up, [he] picks them up and throws them into a fire and burns them [SIM]. Similarly, everyone who does not remain having a close relationship with me, [God] will get rid of.
7 Ja jūs paliekat iekš Manis, un Mani vārdi paliek iekš jums, tad jūs lūgsiet, ko gribēdami, un tas jums notiks.
If you remain having a close relationship with me and you keep [living in accordance with] my message, you can ask [God to do] anything for you, and he will do it.
8 Iekš tā Mans Tēvs ir pagodināts, ka jūs nesat daudz augļus un topat Mani mācekļi.
The way my Father is honored is by your {The way you honor my Father is by} doing much that pleases him [MET], and by doing that, you will show that you are my disciples.
9 Itin kā Tas Tēvs Mani mīlējis, tā Es arīdzan jūs esmu mīlējis; paliekat iekš Manas mīlestības.
I have loved you just as [my] Father has loved me. Now keep living in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] I love.
10 Ja jūs Manus baušļus turēsiet, tad jūs paliksiet iekš Manas mīlestības, itin kā Es Sava Tēva baušļus esmu turējis un palieku iekš Viņa mīlestības.
If you obey what I have commanded you, you will be acting in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] I love, just like I have obeyed what my Father has commanded me and I act [in a way that is appropriate for someone] whom he loves.
11 To Es jums esmu runājis, lai Mans prieks paliek iekš jums, un jūsu prieks top pilnīgs.
I have told you these things so that you may be joyful as I [am joyful], and that you may be completely joyful.
12 Šis ir Mans bauslis, ka jūs viens otru mīlējāt, itin kā Es jūs esmu mīlējis.
What I am commanding you is this: Love each other just like I have loved you.
13 Nevienam nav lielāka mīlestība nekā šī, kad kāds savu dzīvību nodod par saviem draugiem.
The best way that people can show that they love someone is to die for that person. There is no way that you can love someone in a greater way than that.
14 Jūs esat Mani draugi, ja jūs darāt, ko Es jums pavēlu.
You [show that you] are my friends if you keep doing what I have commanded you.
15 Es jūs vairs nesaucu par kalpiem, jo kalps nezina, ko viņa kungs dara; bet Es jūs esmu saucis par draugiem, jo visu, ko esmu dzirdējis no Sava Tēva, to Es jums esmu darījis zināmu.
I will no longer call you my servants, because servants do not know [why] their masters [want them to] do things. Instead, I have said that you are my friends, because I, [acting like a friend], have revealed to you everything that my Father told me.
16 Jūs Mani neesat izredzējuši, bet Es jūs esmu izredzējis un jūs iecēlis, ka jums būs noiet un augļus nest un ka jūsu augļiem būs palikt, ka Es jums to dodu, ko jūs lūgsiet no Tā Tēva Manā Vārdā.
You did not decide to become my [disciples]. Instead, I chose you, so that you would do many things that please him [MET]. The results of what you do will last [forever]. I also chose you so that [my] Father will do for you whatever you, using my authority, ask him to do [MTY].
17 To Es jums pavēlu, ka jūs mīlētu cits citu.
[I repeat what] I have commanded you: Love each other.”
18 Ja pasaule jūs ienīst, tad ziniet, ka tā Mani papriekš ienīdējusi.
“The people who are opposed to God will hate you. When that happens, remember that they hated me first.
19 Ja jūs būtu no pasaules, tad pasaule mīlētu, kas viņai pieder; bet kad jūs neesat no pasaules, bet Es jūs esmu izredzējis no pasaules, tāpēc pasaule jūs ienīst.
If you belonged to those who are opposed to God [MTY], they would love [you like they love] those who belong to them. But you do not belong to those who are opposed to God [MTY]. Instead, I chose you so that you would separate yourselves from [MTY] them. That is why those who are opposed to God [MTY] hate you.
20 Pieminiet Manu vārdu, ko Es jums esmu sacījis: kalps nav lielāks nekā viņa kungs. Ja tie Mani vajājuši, tad tie arī jūs vajās. Ja tie Manu vārdu turējuši, tad tie arī jūsu vārdu turēs.
Remember these words that I told you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ [That means that you, who are like my servants, cannot expect people to treat you better than they treat me]. So, since they have (persecuted me/caused me to suffer), they will (persecute you/cause you to suffer) also. If they had paid attention to the things I taught them, they would pay attention to what you teach them.
21 Bet tie jums to visu darīs Mana Vārda dēļ, tāpēc ka tie To nepazīst, kas Mani sūtījis.
They will treat you like that because you [belong to] me [MTY], and because they do not know the one who sent me.
22 Kad Es nebūtu nācis, nedz uz tiem runājis, tad tiem nebūtu grēka, bet nu tiem nav aizbildināšanās par savu grēku.
If I had not come and spoken [God’s message] to them, they would not be guilty [of rejecting me and my message]. But now [I have come and told them God’s message, so] they will have no excuse [when God judges them] for their sin.
23 Kas Mani ienīst, tas ienīst arī Manu Tēvu.
All those who hate me, [it is as though] they hate my Father as well.
24 Kad Es tos darbus viņu priekšā nebūtu darījis, ko cits neviens nav darījis, tad tiem nebūtu grēka. Bet tagad tie tos ir redzējuši un ir ienīdējuši gan Mani, gan Manu Tēvu.
If I had not done among them the [miracles] that no one else ever did, they would not be guilty of the sin [of rejecting me]. But now, [although] they have seen [those miracles], they have hated both me and my Father.
25 Bet lai tas vārds piepildās, kas rakstīts viņu bauslībā: tie Mani velti ienīdējuši.
But this has happened in order that these words that have been written in their Scriptures might be fulfilled {to fulfill this that [(someone/the Psalmist]) wrote in their Scriptures}: ‘They hated me for no reason.’
26 Bet kad tas Iepriecinātājs nāks, ko Es jums sūtīšu no Tā Tēva, (tas patiesības Gars, kas iziet no Tā Tēva), Tas liecību dos par Mani.
[Later] I will send to you from [my] Father the one who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. He is the Spirit [who will teach you God’s] truth. He will come from my Father. He will tell people about me.
27 Un jūs arī liecību dosiet, jo jūs esat pie Manis no iesākuma.
But you [disciples] must also tell people [about me], because you have been with me from the time when I started [my ministry] [MTY].”
