Jāņa Evaņg̒elijs 7
1 Un pēc tam Jēzus staigāja pa Galileju; jo Viņš negribēja staigāt pa Jūdeju, tāpēc ka tie Jūdi Viņu meklēja nokaut.
After those things happened, Jesus went around in Galilee [province]. He did not want to travel in Judea [province], because he knew that the Jewish [leaders there] were wanting to kill him.
2 Un Jūdu lieveņu svētki bija tuvu.
But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
3 Tad Viņa brāļi uz To sacīja: “Ej jel projām no šejienes, un noej uz Jūdu zemi, lai arī Tavi mācekļi redz Tavus darbus, ko Tu dari.
Jesus’ [younger] brothers said to him, “[Since many people] here [have left you], you should leave and go to Judea [province and perform] some miracles there, so that your disciples may see them!
4 Jo neviens neko nedara slepenībā, kas grib kļūt zināms. Ja Tu tādas lietas dari, tad rādies pasaulei.”
No one who wants to become famous does things secretly. [You say] you are doing these miracles, [so do some miracles there] so that everyone [MTY] can see them!”
5 Jo pat Viņa brāļi neticēja uz Viņu.
[They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
6 Tad Jēzus uz tiem saka: “Mans laiks vēl nav klāt; bet jūsu laiks ir vienmēr klāt.
So Jesus said to them, “It is not yet time for me [MTY] [to go to the celebration]. For you, any time is right [to go to the celebration].
7 Pasaule jūs nevar ienīdēt, bet Mani viņa ienīst, jo Es liecību dodu par to, ka viņas darbi ļauni.
[The people] [MTY] [who] ([do not believe in me/do not belong to God]) cannot hate you, but they hate me because I tell them that what they are doing is evil.
8 Ejat jūs uz šiem svētkiem, Es vēl neeju uz šiem svētkiem; jo Mans laiks vēl nav nācis.”
You [(pl)] go ahead to the celebration. I am not going up [to Jerusalem] to the celebration [yet], because now is not the right time for me [to go].”
9 Un to uz tiem sacījis, Viņš palika Galilejā.
After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
10 Bet kad Viņa brāļi bija aizgājuši, tad Viņš arīdzan gāja uz svētkiem, ne ļaudīm redzot, bet kā paslepeni.
However, [a few days] after his younger brothers left to go up to the celebration, he went also. He went, along with [us] disciples, but no others went with us.
11 Tad tie Jūdi Viņu meklēja svētkos un sacīja: “Kur Viņš ir?”
At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
12 Un tur Viņa dēļ daudz valodas bija pie tiem ļaudīm, jo citi sacīja: “Viņš ir labs;” un citi sacīja: “Nē, bet Viņš tos ļaudis pieviļ.”
Among the crowds, many people were whispering about Jesus. Some were saying, “He is a good man!” But others were saying instead, “No! He is deceiving the crowds!”
13 Tomēr neviens droši par Viņu nerunāja, jo tie bijās no tiem Jūdiem.
But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
14 Bet svētku vidū Jēzus gāja Dieva namā un mācīja.
In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
15 Un tie Jūdi brīnījās sacīdami: “Kā šis tos rakstus zin un tomēr tos nav mācījies?”
The Jewish [elders] were amazed [at what he was saying]. They said, “This man never studied [in one of our religious schools]! So (how can he have learned [so much about Scripture]?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned [so much about Scripture]!) [RHQ]”
16 Jēzus tiem atbildēja un sacīja: “Mana mācība nav Mana, bet Tā, kas Mani sūtījis.
Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], the one who sent me.
17 Ja kas grib Viņa prātu darīt, tas atzīs, vai šī mācība ir no Dieva, jeb vai Es pats no Sevis runāju.
Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with [only] my own [authority].
18 Kas no sevis runā, tas meklē savu paša godu; bet kas meklē Tā godu, kas Viņu sūtījis, tas ir patiesīgs, un iekš Tā nav netaisnības.
Those who speak with [only] their own [authority] do that [only] so that others will honor them. But I am [doing things so that others] will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.
19 Vai Mozus jums nav bauslību devis, un neviens no jums nedara pēc bauslības? Kam jūs meklējat Mani nokaut?”
[Think about] the laws that Moses gave you [RHQ]. None of you [completely] obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, [saying I do not obey the laws concerning] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest])?”
20 Tie ļaudis atbildēja un sacīja: “Tev ir velns. Kas Tevi meklē nokaut?”
Someone in the crowd answered, “[By saying this you show that] you are crazy (OR, A demon is controlling you)! Certainly no one is trying to kill you!”
21 Jēzus atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Vienu darbu Es esmu darījis, un jūs visi brīnāties.
Jesus replied to them, “Because I did a miracle [of healing someone] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), you are all shocked.
22 Mozus jums apgraizīšanu ir devis, (ne tā kā tā būtu no Mozus, bet no tiem tēviem, ) un jūs cilvēku apgraizāt svētdienā.
Moses gave you [a law that you must] circumcise [the male children and that you must do that exactly seven days after they are born. Actually], it was your ancestors, [Abraham and Isaac and Jacob], not Moses, who [started that ritual]. But because of that law, you sometimes circumcise them (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), [but that is working, too]
23 Ja cilvēks apgraizīšanu dabū svētdienā, lai Mozus bauslība netop pārkāpta, ko jūs tad par Mani apskaistaties, ka Es svētdienā visu to cilvēku esmu darījis veselu?
You [sometimes] circumcise boys (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) so that the law of Moses is not disobeyed {[you] do not disobey the law of Moses}, so (it is ridiculous that you are angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man!/why are you angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man?) [RHQ] [Healing someone is far more helpful than circumcising a baby boy]!
24 Nespriežat pēc tā, kas priekš acīm, bet spriežat taisnu tiesu.”
Stop deciding whether my healing this man is wrong according to what you see! Instead, decide according to what is really the right action [to help people]”!
25 Tad kādi no Jeruzālemes ļaudīm sacīja: “Vai šis nav Tas, ko tie meklē nokaut?
Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “(This is the man that they are trying to kill!/Isn’t this the man that they are trying to kill?) [RHQ]
26 Un redzi, Viņš droši runā, un tie uz Viņu nesaka nenieka. Vai mūsu virsnieki tagad tiešām atzinuši, ka Šis patiesi ir Tas Kristus?
He is saying these things (publicly/in front of many people), but our [Jewish] rulers are not saying anything to [oppose] him. Is that because they have decided that he is truly (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)?
27 Bet mēs Viņu zinām, no kurienes Viņš ir; bet kad Tas Kristus nāks, tad neviens nezinās, no kurienes Tas ir.”
But [he cannot be the Messiah, because] we know where this man came from. When the Messiah really comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28 Tad Jēzus Dieva namā mācīdams sauca un sacīja: “Jūs Mani pazīstat un zināt, no kurienes Es esmu? Bet Es neesmu nācis pats no Sevis, bet kas Mani sūtījis, Tas ir patiesīgs; To jūs nepazīstat.
[They said that because they thought Jesus was born in Nazareth]. So while Jesus was teaching [people] in the Temple [courtyard], he shouted, “Yes, [you say that] you know me, and [you think] you know [IRO] where I am from. But I have come here not (because I appointed myself/with my own authority). Instead, [God] is the one who truly sent me. You do not know him.
29 Bet Es To pazīstu, jo Es esmu no Viņa, un Viņš Mani sūtījis.”
But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
30 Tad tie Viņu meklēja gūstīt; tomēr neviens rokas pie Viņa nepielika, jo Viņa stunda vēl nebija nākusi.
Then they tried to seize him [because he said that he had come from God]. But no one put their hands on him [to do that], because it was not yet the time [MTY] [for him to die].
31 Bet daudz no tiem ļaudīm ticēja uz Viņu un sacīja: “Kad Kristus nāks, vai tas vairāk brīnuma zīmes darīs, nekā tās, ko Šis ir darījis?”
But many of the crowd believed that he [had come from God]. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he certainly will not do more miracles than this man has done, will he?”
32 Tie farizeji dzirdēja, ka tiem ļaudīm tādas valodas bija par Viņu. Un tie farizeji un augstie priesteri sūtīja sulaiņus, lai tie Viņu gūstītu.
The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
33 Tad Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: “Vēl mazu brīdi Es esmu pie jums un noeju pie Tā, kas Mani sūtījis.
Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
34 Jūs Mani meklēsiet un neatradīsiet, un kur Es esmu, turp jūs nevarat nonākt.”
Then you will search for me, but you will not find me. And you will not be able to come to the place where I am.”
35 Tad tie Jūdi sacīja savā starpā: “Kur Šis noies, ka mēs Viņu neatradīsim? Vai Viņš noies pie tiem, kas ir izklīduši starp Grieķiem, un Grieķus mācīs?
So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to themselves, “Where is this man about to go with the result that we will not be able to find him? [Some Jewish people have] dispersed [and live] among Greek people. He is not intending to go [and live among them] and teach them, is he?
36 Kas tie par vārdiem, ko Šis runā: jūs Mani meklēsiet un neatradīsiet? Un: kur Es esmu, turp jūs nevarat nonākt?”
When he said ‘You will search for me, but you will not be able to find me,’ and when he said ‘You will not be able to come to the place where I am,’ what [did he mean]?”
37 Un beidzamā, tai lielā svētku dienā, Jēzus stāvēja un sauca sacīdams: “Ja kam slāpst, tas lai nāk pie Manis un dzer!
[On each of the seven days of the celebration, the high priest poured out some water on the altar in the Temple to remember how God provided water for the people in the desolate area long ago. But the water he poured did not help anyone who was thirsty. So] on the last day of the festival, which was the most important day, Jesus stood up [in the Temple courtyard] and said with a loud voice, “Those who are thirsty should come to me to drink [what I will give them].
38 Kas tic uz Mani, kā tie raksti saka, no tā miesas dzīvā ūdens straumes tecēs.”
Just like the Scriptures teach, streams of water shall flow out from within those who believe in me, and that water will cause them to live [eternally].”
39 Un Viņš to sacīja par to Garu, ko tiem bija dabūt, kas tic uz Viņu; jo Tas Svētais Gars vēl nebija, tāpēc ka Jēzus vēl nebija apskaidrots.
When Jesus said that, he was referring to [God’s] Spirit, whom those who believed in Jesus would receive later. Up to that time God had not sent the Spirit [to live within believers], because Jesus had not yet [died and returned to his] glorious [home in] heaven, [from where he would send the Spirit].
40 Tad daudz no tiem ļaudīm šo vārdu dzirdēdami sacīja: “Šis patiesi ir tas pravietis.”
When some of the crowd heard those words, they said, “Surely this man is the prophet [whom God promised to send who would be like Moses]!”
41 Citi sacīja: “Viņš ir Tas Kristus;” bet citi sacīja: “Vai Kristus nāks no Galilejas?
Others said, “He is the Messiah!” But others, [thinking Jesus was born in Galilee], said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee [province], will he?
42 Vai tas raksts nav sacījis, ka no Dāvida cilts un no Bētlemes pilsētiņas, kur Dāvids bija, Kristus nāks?”
(Did [a prophet] not write in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived?/[It is written] in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived!) [RHQ]”
43 Tad šķelšanās cēlās starp tiem ļaudīm Viņa dēļ.
So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
44 Bet kādi no tiem gribēja Viņu gūstīt, tomēr neviens rokas pie Viņa nepielika.
Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
45 Tad tie sulaiņi nāca pie tiem augstiem priesteriem un farizejiem, un šie uz viņiem sacīja: “Kāpēc Viņu neesat atveduši?”
So the Temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, [the ones who had sent them to arrest Jesus]. They said to the guards, “Why did you not [seize him and] bring him [here]?”
46 Tie sulaiņi atbildēja: “Nemūžam cilvēks tā vēl nav runājis kā šis Cilvēks.”
They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
47 Tad tie farizeji tiem atbildēja: “Vai jūs arīdzan esat pievilti?
Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
48 Vai gan kāds no tiem virsniekiem jeb no tiem farizejiem uz Viņu ticējis?
(None of our rulers nor any of us Pharisees have believed that (he [is the Messiah]!/he [came from God]!)/Have any of our [Jewish] rulers or any of us Pharisees believed that (he [is the Messiah]?/he [came from God]?)) [RHQ]
49 Bet šie ļaudis, kas bauslību neprot, ir nolādēti.”
Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” (questioned)
50 Nikademus, kas naktī bija nācis pie Viņa, viens no tiem būdams, uz tiem sacīja:
Then Nicodemus spoke. He was the one who earlier went to Jesus [at night]. He was also a member of the Jewish council. He said to [the rest of the Council members],
51 “Vai mūsu bauslība notiesā kādu cilvēku, ja tā papriekš par viņu nav izklausinājusi un nav dabūjusi zināt, ko viņš dara?”
“[We] have not listened to what he says to find out what he is doing. (It is not permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him!/Is it permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him?) [RHQ]”
52 Tie atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Vai tu arīdzan esi no Galilejas? Pārmeklē un raugi, ka no Galilejas neviens pravietis nav cēlies.”
They replied to him, “(Are you another [disgusting person] from Galilee?/[You talk like] another [disgusting person] from Galilee!) [RHQ] Read [what is written in the Scriptures] You will find that no prophet comes from Galilee [province, like he does]!”
53 (Un ikviens nogāja savā namā.
[Then they all left and went to their own homes.
