Lūkas Evaņg̒elijs 12
1 Un kad daudz tūkstošu ļaužu sapulcējās, tā ka tie viens otru gandrīz samina, tad Jēzus iesāka sacīt uz Saviem mācekļiem: “Visvairāk sargājaties no farizeju rauga, kas ir liekulība.
While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].
2 Bet nekas nav apslēpts, kas nenāks gaismā, nedz slepens, kas nekļūs zināms.
People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.
3 Tāpēc, ko jūs esat sacījuši tumsībā, to dzirdēs gaismā, un ko esat ausī runājuši kambaros, to sludinās uz jumtiem.
All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”
4 Bet Es jums, Saviem draugiem, saku: nebīstaties no tiem, kas miesu nokauj un pēc vairāk neko nespēj darīt.
“My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
5 Bet Es jums rādīšu, no kā jums jābīstas: bīstaties no tā, kam ir vara nokaut un tad iemest ellē: tiešām, Es jums saku, no tā bīstaties. (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
6 Vai piecus zvirbuļus nepērk par divām artavām? Un neviens no tiem nav aizmirsts pie Dieva.
[Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!
7 Bet arī visi jūsu galvas mati ir skaitīti, tāpēc nebīstaties; jūs esat labāki nekā daudz zvirbuļi.
You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].
8 Bet Es jums saku: ikvienu, kas Mani apliecinās cilvēku priekšā, to arī Tas Cilvēka Dēls apliecinās Dieva eņģeļu priekšā.
I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
9 Un kas Mani aizliegs cilvēku priekšā, tas taps aizliegts Dieva eņģeļu priekšā.
But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
10 Un ikvienam, kas ko runās pret To Cilvēka Dēlu, taps piedots; bet kas To Svēto Garu zaimojis, tam netaps piedots.
[I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
11 Bet kad jūs vedīs baznīcas tiesu un valdnieku un vareno priekšā, tad nebēdājaties, kā un ar ko aizbildināsities, jeb ko runāsiet.
[So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
12 Jo Tas Svētais Gars jums mācīs tanī pašā stundā, ko būs runāt.”
because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
13 Bet viens no tiem ļaudīm uz Viņu sacīja: “Mācītāj, saki manam brālim, lai tas tēva mantu ar mani dala.”
Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
14 Bet Viņš uz to sacīja: “Cilvēks, kas Mani pār jums iecēlis par tiesnesi vai izšķīrēju?”
But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
15 Bet Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Pieraugāt un sargājaties no mantas kārības! Jo neviens nedzīvo no tā, ka viņam pārlieku daudz mantas.”
Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
16 Un Viņš tiem stāstīja līdzību sacīdams: “Kāda bagāta cilvēka tīrums bija nesis papilnam augļus.
Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
17 Un tas domāja savā prātā sacīdams: ko darīšu? Jo man nav, kur savus augļus likt.
[So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
18 Un tas sacīja: to darīšu: es savus šķūņus gribu noplēst un lielākus uztaisīt un tur likšu visus savus augļus un savu labību,
Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
19 Un sacīšu uz savu dvēseli: dvēsele, tev ir liels mantas krājums uz daudz gadiem: dusi, ēd un dzer un līksmojies!
[Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
20 Bet Dievs uz to sacīja: tu bezprātīgais! šinī naktī tavu dvēseli no tevis atprasīs, un kam tas būs ko tu esi sakrājis?
But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
21 Tāds pat ir, kas sev mantas krāj un nav bagāts iekš Dieva.”
[Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
22 Un Viņš uz Saviem mācekļiem sacīja: “Tāpēc Es jums saku: nezūdaties savas dzīvības pēc, ko jūs ēdīsiet, nedz miesas pēc, ar ko jūs ģērbsities.
Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.
23 Dzīvība ir labāka nekā barība, un miesa labāka nekā drēbes.
It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]
24 Ņemiet vērā kraukļus, kas nedz sēj, nedz pļauj, kam ne klēts, nedz šķūņa; un jūsu Dievs tos uztur. Cik daudz labāki jūs esat nekā putni!
Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!
25 Un kurš jūsu starpā savam mūžam spēj pielikt vienu olekti, lai gan tādēļ raizējās?
(There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]
26 Ja nu jūs ne to vismazāko neiespējat, ko tad raizējaties par tām citām lietām?
Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
27 Ņemiet vērā puķes, kā tās aug: ne tās strādā, ne tas vērpj; bet Es jums saku, ka pat Salamans visa savā godībā tā nav bijis apģērbts, kā viena no tām.
Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
28 Ja tad Dievs zāli laukā tā apģērbj, kas šodien stāv un rītu top iemesta krāsnī, cik vairāk jūs? Ak jūs mazticīgie!
God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?
29 Tā arīdzan nebēdājaties, ko ēdīsiet un ko dzersiet, nedz šaubāties šurpu turpu.
Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
30 Jo visas šīs lietas pagāni pasaulē meklē, bet jūsu Tēvs zina, ka jums šo lietu vajag.
The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].
31 Bet meklējiet Dieva valstību, un tad jums visas šīs lietas taps piemestas.
Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
32 Nebīsties, tu mazais ganāmais pulciņ, jo jūsu Tēva žēlīgais prāts ir, jums dot to valstību.
[You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].
33 Pārdodiet, kas jums ir, un dodiet nabagiem, gādājiet sev makus, kas nenovecojas, neiznīcīgu mantu debesīs, kur zaģļi netiek klāt, un kodes nesamaitā.
[So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.
34 Jo kur jūsu manta, tur arī būs jūsu sirds.
Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”
35 Lai jūsu gurni ir apjozti un tās sveces spīdošas.
“Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.
36 Un esiet līdzīgi cilvēkiem, kas savu kungu gaida, kad tas celsies no kāzām, ka tie viņam nākot un klaudzinājot tūdaļ var atdarīt.
Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.
37 Svētīgi tie kalpi, ko Tas Kungs pārnācis atradīs nomodā. Patiesi, Es jums saku, ka viņš apjozīsies, un tiem liks apsēsties un apkārt iedams tiem kalpos.
If those servants are awake when he returns, [he will] be very pleased with them. I will tell you this: He will put on [the kind of clothes] that servants wear and tell them to sit down, and he will serve them a meal.
38 Un kad viņš nāks nakts vidū, vai pirmajos gaiļos un tā atradīs, svētīgi tie kalpi.
[Even] if he comes between midnight and sunrise, if he finds that his servants are [awake and] ready [for him], he will be very pleased with them.
39 Bet to ziniet, kad tas nama kungs zinātu, kurā stundā zaglis nāk, tad viņš būtu nomodā un neļautu savā namā ielauzties.
But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.
40 Un jūs arīdzan esat gatavi: jo tanī stundā, kurā nedomājat, Tas Cilvēka Dēls nāks.”
Similarly, you must be ready [for me to return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will come [again] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
41 Un Pēteris uz To sacīja: “Kungs, vai Tu šo līdzību saki uz mums, vai arī uz visiem?”
Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”
42 Bet Tas Kungs sacīja: “Kas gan ir tas uzticīgais un gudrais nama turētājs, ko kungs ieceļ pār savu saimi, tiem piederīgo barību dot īstenā laikā?
The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
43 Svētīgs tas kalps, ko kungs, pārnācis atradīs tā darām.
If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.
44 Es jums tiešām saku, ka viņš to iecels pār visu savu mantu.
I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].
45 Bet ja tas kalps sacīs savā prātā: mans kungs kavējās nākt; un iesāks kalpus un kalpones sist, un ēst un dzert un piedzerties:
But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.
46 Tad šī kalpa kungs nāks tanī dienā, kurā tas viņu negaida, un tanī stundā, ko tas nezina, un to šķels pušu un tam savu algu dos ar tiem neticīgiem.
[If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.
47 Bet tas kalps, kas sava kunga prātu zinādams nav sataisījies, nedz darījis pēc viņa prāta, tas dabūs daudz sitienu.
Every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires will be beaten severely {[The master] will beat severely every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires}.
48 Bet kas nezinādams darījis, ar ko viņš sitienus pelnījis, dabūs maz sitienu; bet no ikviena, kam daudz ir dots, daudz meklēs, un kam daudz ir uzticēts, no tā vairāk prasīs.
But every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {[the master] will beat lightly every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do and did the things for which he deserved that [his master] would beat him}. [God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot]. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most [ability].”
49 Es esmu nācis, uguni mest uz zemi, un kā Es gribētu, ka (tā) jau degtu.
“I came to earth to cause [there to be trials] [MET], [which will purify you as] fire [purifies metal] (OR, to cause judgment/divisions among you). I wish that the time when [you] will be purified {when [God] will purify you} (OR, when divisions will be caused {to cause divisions among people}) had already begun.
50 Bet Man būs tapt kristītam ar vienu kristību, un kā Man ir bail, kamēr tā būs pabeigta!
I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.
51 Vai jums šķiet, ka esmu nācis mieru dot virs zemes? Es jums saku: nebūt ne, bet ienaidu.
Do you think that as a result of my coming to earth people will live together peacefully? No! I must tell you, [that is not what will happen! Instead, people] will be divided.
52 Jo no šī laika vienā namā pieci savā starpā būs ienaidā, trīs pret diviem un divi pret trim.
Because some people in one house [will believe in me and some will not], they will be divided. [For example], three people in one house [who do not believe in me] will oppose two [who do believe], or two [who do not believe in me] will oppose three [who do believe].
53 Tēvs cels ienaidu pret dēlu, un dēls pret tēvu, māte pret meitu, un meita pret māti, un vīra māte pret savu vedeklu, un vedekla pret savu vīra māti.”
A man will oppose his son, or a son will oppose his father. A woman will oppose her daughter, or a woman will oppose her mother. A woman will oppose her daughter-in-law, or a woman will oppose her mother-in-law.”
54 Un viņš arī uz tiem ļaudīm sacīja: “Kad redzat kādu padebesi uzkāpjam no vakara puses, tad jūs tūdaļ sakāt: lietus nāk; un tā notiek.
He [also] said to the crowds, “[In this country], when you see a [dark] cloud forming in the west, you immediately say ‘It is going to rain!’ and that is what happens.
55 Un kad vējš pūš no dienvidiem, tad jūs sakāt: būs karsts laiks; un tā notiek.
[In this region], when the wind blows from the south, you say, ‘It is going to be a very hot day!’ and that is what happens.
56 Jūs liekuļi, debess un zemes ģīmi jūs varat noprast, bet kā šo laiku neizprotat?
You hypocrites! By observing the clouds and the wind, you are able to discern what is happening regarding [the weather]. It is disgusting that you are not able to discern [what God is doing] at this present time [RHQ]!
57 Un kāpēc jūs arī no sevis pašiem nespriežat, kas taisnība?
(Each of you ought to determine now what is the right thing for you to do, [while you still have time to do that]!/Why cannot each of you determine what is the right [thing for you to do now while you still have time to do that]?) [RHQ]
58 Jo kad tu ar savu pretinieku ej pie valdnieka, tad lūko uz ceļa ar viņu salīgt, ka tas tevi neved pie soģa, un soģis tevi nenodod bendēm, un bende tevi nemet cietumā.
[If you do not do that, God will punish you] [MET]. [It will be like what happens when] someone takes one of you to court, saying that you [(sg)] have done something very bad. You should try to settle things with him while you are still on the way to the court. If he forces you to go to the judge, the judge will decide that you are guilty and put you into the hands of the court officer. Then that officer will put you in prison.
59 Es tev saku, tu neiziesi no turienes, kamēr nenomaksāsi pēdējo artavu.”
I tell you that if you go to prison, you will never get out, [because you will never be able to] pay every bit [of what the judge says you owe] [MET]. [Similarly, you ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
