Lūkas Evaņg̒elijs 14
1 Un gadījās, ka Jēzus viena farizeju virsnieka namā nāca svētdienā uz mielastu, un tie uz Viņu glūnēja.
One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
2 Un lūk, viens ūdens sērdzīgs cilvēks tur bija Viņa priekšā.
Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
3 Un Jēzus iesāka runāt uz tiem bauslības mācītājiem un farizejiem un sacīja: “Vai brīv svētdienā dziedināt?” Bet tie cieta klusu.
Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
4 Un, to ņēmis, Viņš to dziedināja un sūtīja projām.
[They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
5 Pēc Viņš atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Kurš ir jūsu starpā, kam savs ēzelis vai vērsis iekrīt akā, un viņš to tūdaļ neizvilks svētā dienā.”
Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
6 Un tie tam nenieka uz to nevarēja atbildēt.
[They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
7 Viņš arī tiem viesiem teica kādu līdzību, nomanīdams, ka tie izraudzījās sēdēt jo augstā vietā, un uz tiem sacīja:
Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
8 “Kad tu no kāda topi kāzās lūgts, tad nesēdies augstākajā vietā, ka negadās jo cienīgs nekā tu, kas arī no viņa lūgts,
“When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
9 Un ka tas, kas tevi un viņu lūdzis, nenāk uz tevi sacīt: dod šim vietas, un tad tev ar kaunu būs jāsēž zemākajā vietā.
[When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
10 Bet kad tu esi lūgts, tad ej un sēdies jo zemā vietā, ka tas, kas tevi lūdzis, nāk uz tevi sacīt: draugs, virzies augšām: tad tev būs gods priekš tiem, kas līdz ar tevi sēž pie galda.
Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
11 Jo kas pats paaugstinājās, taps pazemots, un kas pats pazemojās, taps paaugstināts.”
Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
12 Un Viņš sacīja arī uz to, kas Viņu bija aicinājis: “Kad tu azaidu vai vakariņu taisi, tad nelūdzi savus draugus, nedz savus brāļus, nedz savus radus, nedz bagātus kaimiņus, ka tie tevi atkal nelūdz, un tu savu atmaksu dabū.
[Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
13 Bet kad tu viesības dari, aicini nabagus, kropļus, tizlus, aklus.
Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
14 Tad tu būsi svētīgs, jo tiem nav, ko tev atmaksāt; un tev taps atdots, kad tie taisnie augšām celsies.”
They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
15 Bet viens no tiem, kas pie galda sēdēja, to dzirdējis, uz Viņu sacīja: “Svētīgs, kas maizi ēd Dieva valstībā.”
One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
16 Bet Viņš uz to sacīja: “Viens cilvēks lielu vakariņu sataisīja un lūdza daudzus pie tā.
But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
17 Un viņš savu kalpu sūtīja ap to vakariņa stundu, tiem aicinātiem sacīt: nāciet, jo visas lietas sataisītas.
When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
18 Bet tie visi cits pēc cita iesāka aizbildināties. Pirmais uz to sacīja: es tīrumu esmu pircis, un man jānoiet, to apraudzīt; lūdzos, aizbildini mani.
But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
19 Un otrs sacīja: es pieci jūgus vēršu esmu pircis un noeju, tos apraudzīt; lūdzos, aizbildini mani.
Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
20 Un cits sacīja: es sievu esmu apņēmis, tāpēc nevaru nākt.
Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
21 Un tas kalps nāca un savam kungam to atsacīja; tad tas nama kungs tapa dusmīgs un sacīja uz savu kalpu: ej steigšus uz gatvēm un pilsētas ielām, un ieved tos nabagus un kropļus un tizlus un aklus šeit iekšā.
So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
22 Un tas kalps sacīja: kungs, tas ir padarīts, ko tu esi pavēlējis, bet vēl ir rūmes.
[After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
23 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz to kalpu: Izej uz lielceļiem un pie sētmalām un spiedi tos nākt iekšā, lai mans nams top pilns.
[So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
24 Jo es jums saku, ka neviens no tiem vīriem, kas bija aicināti, manu vakariņu nebaudīs.”
[Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
25 Bet daudz ļaužu gāja Viņam līdz, un Viņš atgriezdamies uz tiem sacīja:
Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
26 “Ja kas nāk pie Manis un neienīst savu tēvu un māti un sievu un bērnus un brāļus un māsas un arī turklāt savu paša dzīvību, tas nevar būt Mans māceklis.
“If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
27 Un kas savu krustu nenes un nestaigā Man pakaļ tas nevar būt Mans māceklis.
[People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
28 Jo kurš ir jūsu starpā, kas torni grib uztaisīt un papriekš neapsēžās un nepārdomā, cik tas maksā, vai viņam būs padoma līdz pat galam?
[I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
29 Lai, kad pamatu licis un nespēj pabeigt, visi, kas to redz, nesāk viņu apsmiet,
[If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
30 Sacīdami: Šis cilvēks ir iesācis celt, bet nav spējis pabeigt.
They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
31 Jeb kurš ķēniņš, karā iedams kauties ar citu ķēniņu, papriekš neapsēžās un neapdomājās, vai būs spēcīgs, iet pretī ar desmit tūkstošiem tam, kas viņam uziet ar divdesmit tūkstošiem?
Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
32 Bet kad nav, tad viņš sūta vēsti, kamēr vēl ir tālu, un lūdz mieru.
If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
33 Tad nu tāpat ikkatrs no jums, kas visai savai rocībai neatsaka, tas nevar būt Mans māceklis.
So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
34 Sāls ir laba, bet ja sāls paliek nelietīga, ar ko tad to darīs derīgu?
[Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
35 Tā neder ne zemei, ne sūdos. To izmet ārā. Kam ausis dzirdēt, tas lai dzird.”
[If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
