Lūkas Evaņg̒elijs 10
1 Un pēc tam Tas Kungs vēl septiņdesmit citus iecēla un tos sūtīja pa diviem savā priekšā uz ikkatru pilsētu un vietu, kur Viņš gribēja iet.
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
2 Un Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Pļaujamā ir daudz, bet strādnieku maz; tāpēc lūdziet tā pļaujamā Kungu, lai Tas strādniekus sūta Savā pļaujamā.
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 Ejiet! Lūk, Es jūs sūtu kā jērus vilku starpā.
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 Nenesiet maku, nedz kulīti, nedz kurpes, un nesveicinājiet nevienu uz ceļa.
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 Un kurā namā jūs ieiesiet, sakāt papriekš: miers lai ir ar šo namu.
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 Un ja tur būs kāds miera bērns, tad jūsu miers uz tā dusēs; bet ja ne, tad tas pie jums atgriezīsies.
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
7 Tanī pašā namā paliekat, un ēdat un dzerat, kas tiem pie rokas, jo strādniekam sava alga pienākas; neejat no viena nama uz otru.
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
8 Un kurā pilsētā jūs ieiesiet, un tie jūs uzņem, tur ēdat, ko jums ceļ priekšā.
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 Un dariet tur veselus tos vājos un sakāt uz tiem: Dieva valstība tuvu pie jums ir nākusi.
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 Bet kurā pilsētā jūs ieejat, un tie jūs neuzņem, tad izgājuši uz viņu ielām sakiet:
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
11 Arī tos pīšļus, kas mums no šīs pilsētas pielīp, mēs nokratām uz jums; tomēr to ziniet, ka Dieva valstība tuvu ir nākusi.
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 Bet Es jums saku, ka Sodomas ļaudīm viņā dienā vieglāki būs, nekā tādai pilsētai.
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
13 Vai tev, Horacin! vai tev, Betsaida! jo kad iekš Tirus un Sidonas tie brīnumi būtu notikuši, kas pie jums notikuši, tad tie jau sen no grēkiem būtu atgriezušies maisos un pelnos.
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 Tomēr Tirum un Sidonai vieglāki būs tiesas dienā nekā jums.
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
16 Kas jūs dzird, tas Mani dzird, un kas jūs nicina, tas Mani nicina; bet kas Mani nicina, tas nicina To, kas Mani sūtījis.”
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 Un tie septiņdesmit pārnāca ar prieku sacīdami: “Kungs, arī tie velni mums padodas Tavā Vārdā.”
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 Un Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Es sātanu redzēju itin kā zibeni no debess krītam.
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
19 Redzi, Es jums esmu devis spēku, staigāt uz čūskām un skorpioniem, un pār visu ienaidnieka varu, un nekas jums nekaitēs.
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
20 Tomēr nepriecājaties par to, ka tie gari jums padodas, bet priecājaties, kā jūsu vārdi ir rakstīti debesīs.”
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
21 Un tanī stundā Jēzus priecājās garā un sacīja: “Es Tev pateicos, Tēvs, debess un zemes Kungs, ka Tu šās lietas esi paslēpis gudriem un prātīgiem, un no tām ziņu devis bērniņiem. Tiešām, Tēvs, jo tā tas ir bijis Tavs labais prāts.
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
22 Visas lietas Man ir nodotas no Mana Tēva. Un neviens neatzīst, kas ir Tas Dēls, kā vien Tas Tēvs, un kas ir Tas Tēvs, kā vien Tas Dēls, un kam Tas Dēls to grib darīt zināmu.”
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 Un Viņš griezies pie tiem mācekļiem sacīja sevišķi: “Svētīgas ir tās acis, kas redz, ko jūs redzat.
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
24 Jo Es jums saku: daudz pravieši un ķēniņi gribēja redzēt, ko jūs redzat, un nav redzējuši, un dzirdēt, ko jūs dzirdat, un nav dzirdējuši.”
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
25 Un redzi, viens rakstu mācītājs cēlās, Viņu kārdinādams, un sacīja: “Mācītāj, ko man būs darīt, ka es iemantoju mūžīgu dzīvošanu?” (aiōnios g166)
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Bet Viņš uz to sacīja: “Kā stāv bauslībā rakstīts? Kā tu lasi?”
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
27 Un tas atbildēja un sacīja: “Tev būs Dievu, savu Kungu, mīlēt no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles un no visa sava spēka un no visa sava prāta, un savu tuvāku kā sevi pašu.”
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 Tad Viņš tam sacīja: “Tu pareizi esi atbildējis; ej, dari to, tad tu dzīvosi.”
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 Bet tas gribēdams pats taisnoties sacīja uz Jēzu: “Kas tad ir mans tuvākais?”
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
30 Tad Jēzus atbildēja un sacīja: “Viens cilvēks gāja no Jeruzālemes uz Jēriku un krita slepkavu rokās, tie tam noplēsa drēbes, un to sasituši, aizgāja un to pameta pusmirušu.
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 Bet no nejauši viens priesteris staigāja pa to pašu ceļu; kad tas to redzēja, tad viņš aizgāja garām.
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 Tāpat arī viens levits; tas pie tās vietas nācis to redzēja un aizgāja garām.
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 Bet viens Samarietis, savu ceļu iedams, nāca pie viņa, un viņu redzot sirds tam iežēlojās,
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
34 Un piegājis sasēja viņa vātis, tanīs eļļu un vīnu ieliedams; pēc viņš to cēla uz savu lopu un to noveda mājas vietā un to apkopa.
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
35 Un otrā dienā aiziedams viņš izvilka divus sudraba grašus un deva tos tam saimniekam un uz to sacīja: “Kopi šo, un ja tu vēl ko izdosi, atpakaļ nākdams es tev to atdošu.”
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 Kurš no šiem trim tev šķiet tas tuvākais bijis tam, kas bija kritis slepkavu rokās?”
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 Bet tas sacīja: “Tas, kas žēlastību pie viņa darījis.” Tad Jēzus uz to sacīja: “Tad ej nu un dari tu tāpat arīdzan.”
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 Un notikās, Viņam Savu ceļu staigājot, Viņš nāca vienā pilsētiņā; un viena sieva, Marta vārdā, Viņu uzņēma savā namā.
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 Un tai bija māsa, vārdā Marija; tā nosēdās pie Jēzus kājām un klausījās Viņa vārdus.
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 Bet Marta daudz nodarbojās kalpodama un piegāja sacīdama: “Kungs, vai Tev nekas par to, ka mana māsa mani ir atstājusi vienu pašu kalpojam? Saki jel viņai, lai tā man palīdz”.
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 Bet Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Marta, Marta, tu gan daudz rūpējies un pūlējies;
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 Bet vienas lietas vajag; Marija to labo daļu sev ir izredzējusi, tā no tās netaps atņemta.”
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
