Lūkas Evaņg̒elijs 13
1 Bet tanī pašā brīdī tur kādi gadījās, kas viņam pasludināja par tiem Galilejiem, kuru asinis Pilatus bija sajaucis ar viņu upuriem.
Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
2 Un Jēzus atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Vai jums šķiet, ka šie Galileji ir bijuši grēcinieki pār visiem Galilejiem, tāpēc ka tie to cietuši.
Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
3 Es jums saku: nebūt ne; bet ja jūs neatgriezīsities no grēkiem, tad arī jūs visi tāpat tapsiet nomaitāti.
I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
4 Jeb vai jums šķiet, ka tie astoņpadsmit, uz kuriem tas tornis iekš Siloāmas krita un ko tas nosita, vainīgi ir bijuši pār visiem cilvēkiem, kas Jeruzālemē dzīvo?
Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
5 Es jums saku: nebūt ne; bet ja jūs no grēkiem neatgriezīsities, tad jūs visi tāpat tapsiet nomaitāti.”
I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
6 Un Viņš sacīja šo līdzību: “Vienam cilvēkam vīģes koks bija stādīts savā vīna kalnā, un tas nāca, augļus no tā meklēt un neatrada.
Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
7 Tad viņš uz to vīna dārznieku sacīja: redzi, es jau nāku trīs gadus, augļus meklēt uz šī vīģes koka un neatrodu; nocērt to, kam tas velti stāv tai zemē?
Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
8 Bet tas atbildēja un uz viņu sacīja: kungs, lai tas vēl stāv šo gadu, tiekams to aproku un apmēsloju,
But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
9 Vai jel tas augļus nenesīs; ja ne, tad tu pēc to vari nocirst.”
If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
10 Un Viņš mācīja vienā no tām baznīcām svētdienā.
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
11 Un redzi, vienai sievai bija neveselības gars astoņpadsmit gadus, un tā bija savilkta un nemaz nevarēja taisni atliekties.
There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
12 Bet Jēzus, viņu redzēdams, to pieaicināja un uz to sacīja: “Sieva, topi vaļā no savas neveselības!”
When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
13 Un uzlika tai rokas, un tā tūdaļ pacēlās taisna un slavēja Dievu.
He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
14 Bet tas baznīcas priekšnieks apskaities, tāpēc ka Jēzus svētdienā bija dziedinājis, atbildēja un uz tiem ļaudīm sacīja: “Sešas dienas ir, kur jāstrādā, tad nu tanīs nāciet un liekaties dziedināties, un ne svētdienā.”
But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
15 Tad Tas Kungs tam atbildēja un sacīja: “Tu liekuli, vai ikviens jūsu starpā savu vērsi vai ēzeli neatraisa no siles svētdienā un to nenoved dzirdīt?
Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
16 Bet šī Ābrahāma meita, ko sātans, redzi, astoņpadsmit gadus ir saistījis, vai tā nebija svētdienā atraisāma no šīs saites?”
This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
17 Un Viņam to sakot visi Viņa pretinieki kaunējās un visi ļaudis priecājās par visiem šiem brīnuma darbiem, kas caur Viņu notika.
After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 Un Viņš sacīja: “Kam Dieva valstība līdzinājās, un kam to līdzināšu?
Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
19 Tā ir līdzinājama sinepju graudiņam, ko cilvēks ņēmis iemeta savā dārzā; un tas uzauga un palika par lielu koku, un tie putni apakš debess taisīja ligzdas viņa zaros.”
It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
20 Un atkal Viņš sacīja: “Kam Dieva valstību līdzināšu?
Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
21 Tā ir līdzinājama raugam, ko sieva ņēmusi iejauca iekš trīs mēru miltu, tiekams viss sarūga.”
It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
22 Un Viņš tās pilsētas un pilsētiņas pārstaigāja mācīdams un iedams uz Jeruzālemi.
[Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
23 Bet viens uz Viņu sacīja: “Kungs! Vai to ir maz, kas nāks Debesu valstībā?” Bet Viņš uz tiem sacīja:
Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
24 “Cīnieties ieiet caur tiem šauriem vārtiem, jo, Es jums saku, daudz meklēs ieiet un nevarēs.
[Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
25 Kad tas nama Kungs celsies un durvis aizslēgs, un jūs iesāksiet ārā stāvēt un pie durvīm klaudzināt sacīdami: Kungs, Dievs, atdari mums; tad Viņš atbildēdams jums sacīs: Es jūs nepazīstu, no kurienes jūs esat.
[God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
26 Tad jūs iesāksiet sacīt: mēs Tavā priekšā esam ēduši un dzēruši, un Tu esi mācījis mūsu ielās.
Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
27 Un Viņš sacīs: Es jums saku, Es jūs nepazīstu, no kurienes jūs esat; atkāpjaties no Manis, visi jūs ļauna darītāji.
But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
28 Tur būs raudāšana un zobu trīcēšana, kad jūs redzēsiet Ābrahāmu un Īzaku un Jēkabu un visus praviešus Dieva valstībā, bet sevi pašus izmestus ārā.
Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
29 Un tad nāks no rīta un vakara puses, no ziemeļa un dienvidu puses, un sēdēs Dieva valstībā.
Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
30 Un redzi, ir pēdējie, kas būs pirmie, un ir pirmie, kas būs pēdējie.”
Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
31 Tanī dienā kādi farizeji atnāca un uz Viņu sacīja: “Izej un ej projām no šejienes; jo Hērodus grib Tevi nokaut.”
At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
32 Un Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Ejat un sakāt šai lapsai: redzi, Es velnus izdzenu un slimus daru veselus šodien un rīt, bet trešajā dienā Es būšu galā.
He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
33 Tomēr Man vēl šodien un rīt un parīt jāstaigā; jo tas neklājās, ka pravietis citur galu dabū, kā Jeruzālemē.
But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
34 Jeruzāleme, Jeruzāleme, tu, kas nokauj praviešus un ar akmeņiem nomētā tos, kas pie tevis sūtīti. - cik reiz Es esmu gribējis tavus bērnus sakrāt, itin kā vista savus cālīšus apakš spārniem; un jūs neesat gribējuši.
[Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
35 Redzi, jūsu nams jums top atstāts postā. Bet patiesi, Es jums saku, ka jūs Mani neredzēsiet, līdz kamēr tas laiks nāk, kad jūs sacīsiet: slavēts, kas nāk Tā Kunga Vārdā.”
So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
