Lūkas Evaņg̒elijs 3
1 Piecpadsmitā ķeizara Tiberijus valdīšanas gadā, kad Poncius Pilatus bija zemes valdītājs Jūdejā un Hērodus valdnieks Galilejā un Filips, viņa brālis, valdnieks Iturejā un Trakonites tiesā un Lizanijus valdnieks Abilenē,
When the Emperor Tiberius had been ruling [the Roman Empire] for 15 years, and while Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea [district], and Herod [Antipas] was ruling Galilee [district], and his brother Philip was ruling Iturea and Trachonitis [districts], and Lysanius was ruling Abilene [district],
2 Apakš tiem augstiem priesteriem Annasa un Kajafasa, Dieva vārds notika uz Jāni, Zaharijas dēlu, tuksnesī.
and while Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests [in Jerusalem], God gave messages to Zechariah’s son John while he was living in the desolate region.
3 Un viņš gāja pa visu Jardānes apgabalu, sludinādams kristību uz atgriešanos no grēkiem par grēku piedošanu.
[So] John went all over the area close to the Jordan [River]. He kept telling people, “If you want [God] to forgive you for your sins, you must (repent/turn away from your sinful behavior) [before you ask me] to baptize [you]!”
4 Itin kā rakstīts pravieša Jesajas grāmatā, kas saka: “Saucēja balss tuksnesī: “Sataisiet Tā Kunga ceļu, dariet līdzenas Viņa tekas.
John was the one who [fulfilled] these words that had [been written] by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had written} on a scroll [long ago]: In a desolate area, someone [SYN] will be heard shouting [to the people who pass by], “Prepare yourselves [to receive] the Lord when he comes! [Make yourselves ready so that you will be prepared when he comes], [just like people] straighten out the road [MET] [for an important official] [MET, DOU]!
5 Visas ielejas lai top pildītas, un visi kalni un pakalni lai top zemoti, un kas nelīdzens, lai top līdzens, un kas celmains, par staigājamu ceļu;
[Just like people] level off all the places where the land rises and [just like they] fill all the ravines, and [just like people] make the road straight wherever it is crooked, and [just like people] make smooth the bumps in the road, [similarly you need to remove all the obstacles which prevent God from blessing you]!
6 Un visa miesa redzēs Tā Kunga pestīšanu.””
Then people [SYN] everywhere will understand how God can save [MTY] [people].”
7 Tāpēc viņš sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm, kas izgāja, ka no viņa tiktu kristīti: “Jūs odžu dzimums, kas jums ir rādījis izbēgt no nākamās dusmības?
Although large groups of people came to John to be baptized {in order that he would baptize them}, [he knew that many of them were not sincere]. So he kept saying to them, “You [people are evil] [MET] [like] poisonous snakes! [I] warn you that [God] will some day punish [MTY] [everyone] who sins. And (do not think that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior!/did someone tell you] that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior]?) [RHQ] (OR, Who told you that you could escape [God’s punishment?])
8 Tāpēc nesiet pienākamus atgriešanās augļus; un nesākat savā prātā sacīt: “Mums ir Ābrahāms par tēvu.” Jo Es jums saku, ka Dievs no šiem akmeņiem Ābrahāmam spēj bērnus radīt.
Do what is appropriate for people who have truly turned from their sinful behavior! [God promised to give Abraham many] descendants. In order to fulfill that promise, God does not need you! I tell you that he can change these stones to make them descendants of Abraham! So do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We [(exc)] are descendants of Abraham, [so God will not punish us, even though we have] sinned!’
9 Jau arī cirvis kokiem pie saknes pielikts; tāpēc ikkatrs koks, kas nenes labus augļus, top nocirsts un ugunī iemests.”
[God is ready to punish you if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior, just like a man] [MET] lays his axe at the roots [of a fruit] tree [to chop it down and throw it into the fire if it does not produce good fruit] [MET].”
10 Un tie ļaudis tam jautāja un sacīja: “Ko tad mums būs darīt?”
[Then] various ones in the crowd asked John, “What shall we [(exc)] do [to escape God punishing us] (OR), [to show that we have repented]?”
11 Viņš atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Kam divi svārki, tas lai dod tam, kam nav; un kam ir barība, lai dara tāpat.”
He answered them, “If any of you has two shirts, you should give one of them to someone who has no shirt. If any of you has [plenty of] food, you should give some to those who have no food.”
12 Bet arī muitnieki nāca, ka liktos kristīties, un uz to sacīja: “Mācītāj, ko mums būs darīt?”
[Some] tax collectors came [and asked] to be baptized ([asked him] to baptize them}. They asked him, “Teacher, what shall we [(exc)] do [to please God]?”
13 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Neņemiet vairāk, nekā jums ir nospriests.”
He said to them, “Do not take from the people any more money than [the Roman government] tells you to take!”
14 Bet arī karavīri tam jautāja un sacīja: “Ko tad mums būs darīt?” Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Nedariet nevienam pāri, neapmelojiet nevienu un esat mierā ar savu algu.”
Some soldiers asked him, “What about us? What should we [(exc)] do [to please God]?” He said to them, “Do not [say to anyone], ‘[If you(sg) do not give me] some money, I will hurt you,’ and do not take [people to court and] falsely accuse them of doing something wrong! And be content with your wages.”
15 Bet tiem ļaudīm gaidot un visiem savā prātā par Jāni domājot, vai tas neesot Kristus,
People were expecting [that the Messiah would come soon]. Because of that, many of them wondered about John. [Some of them asked him] if he was the Messiah.
16 Jānis visiem atbildēja sacīdams: “Es jūs gan kristīju ar ūdeni, bet Viens nāks, spēcīgāks, nekā es, Tam es neesmu cienīgs atraisīt Viņa kurpju siksnas. Tas jūs kristīs ar Svētu Garu un uguni;
John replied to them all, “No, [I am not]. I used [only] water when I baptized you. But [the Messiah] will soon come! He is far greater than I am. [He is so great that] I am not worthy to [be like his slave and] untie his sandals [MET] [like] a slave would do! He will put [his] Holy Spirit within [MTY] you [to truly change your lives], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [MET] [in hell]. (questioned)
17 Tam vēteklis rokā, un Viņš tīrīs Savu klonu caur caurim un sakrās kviešus Savā klētī, bet pelavas sadedzinās ar neizdzēšamu uguni.”
He [is like a man] [MET] [who wants to] clear away the grain on the ground where it has been threshed {they have threshed it}. That man [uses] a huge fork [to throw the grain into the air] to separate the wheat from the chaff [MET], and then he cleans up the threshing area. [Similarly, God] will [separate righteous people from the evil people, like a man who] gathers the wheat into his storage area, and then he will burn [those who are like] chaff with a fire (that will never be put out/that will burn forever).”
18 Arī vēl daudz citu ko mācīdams, viņš pasludināja tiem ļaudīm prieka vēsti.
John kept telling people many things to urge them [to turn to God], as he told them the good message [from God].
19 Bet Hērodus, viens no tiem četriem valdniekiem, no viņa pārmācīts Hērodeijas, Filipa, sava brāļa, sievas dēļ, un visa ļauna dēļ, ko Hērodus bija darījis,
He also rebuked [the ruler of the district], Herod [Antipas. He rebuked him] for [marrying] Herodias, his brother’s wife, [while his brother was still alive], and for doing many other evil things.
20 Pie visa tā arī šo vēl darīja, ka Jāni ieslēdza cietumā.
But Herod [had his soldiers] put John in prison. That was another evil thing he did.
21 Un notikās, kad visi ļaudis tapa kristīti, un arī Jēzus bija kristīts un Dievu pielūdza, tad debesis atvērās,
[But before John was put in prison], when many people were being baptized {when he was baptizing many people}, after Jesus was baptized {he baptized Jesus} and Jesus was praying, the sky opened.
22 Un Svētais Gars nolaidās uz Viņu redzamā ģīmī kā balodis; un balss atskanēja no debesīm sacīdama: “Tu esi Mans mīļais Dēls, pie Tevis Man ir labs prāts.”
Then the Holy Spirit, resembling a dove, descended upon [Jesus]. And [God] [SYN/EUP] spoke to Jesus from heaven, saying, “You [(sg)] are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you!”
