Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 13
1 Tanī dienā Jēzus no nama izgājis, apsēdās jūrmalā.
That same day Jesus, [along with us] disciples, left the house [where he was teaching and went] to [Galilee lake]. He sat down there,
2 Un daudz ļaužu pie viņa sapulcējās, tā ka Viņš laivā iekāpis tur atsēdās, un visi tie ļaudis stāvēja malā.
and a very large crowd gathered around him to [listen to his teaching]. So, [in order that they would not jostle him] (OR, [to speak to the people better]), he got into a boat and sat down [to teach them]. The crowd stood on the shore [and was listening].
3 Un Viņš uz tiem daudz runāja caur līdzībām un sacīja: “Redzi, sējējs izgāja sēt.
He was telling them many parables. [One of the parables] that he told them was this: “Listen! A man went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
4 Un viņam sējot cita sēkla krita ceļmalā; un putni nāca un to apēda.
As he was scattering [them over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
5 Un cita krita uz akmenāju, kur tai nebija daudz zemes; un tā tūdaļ uzdīga, tāpēc ka tai nebija dziļas zemes.
Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of the] rock. Those seeds sprouted very soon, [because the sun quickly warmed] the shallow soil.
6 Bet kad saule bija uzlēkusi, tad tā savīta un nokalta, tāpēc ka viņai nebija saknes.
But when [the young plants came up], they were scorched by the sun, and they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
7 Bet cita krita starp ērkšķiem, un ērkšķi uzauga un to apmāca.
Other seeds fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together with the young plants], and [they] crowded out [the plants].
8 Bet cita krita uz labu zemi un nesa augļus, cita simtkārtīgus un cita sešdesmitkārtīgus un cita trīsdesmitkārtīgus.
[But] other seeds fell on good soil, and [the plants grew and] produced [a lot of] grain. Some [plants produced] 100 times [as many seeds as were planted]. Some [plants produced] 60 times [as much]. Some [plants produced] 30 times [as much].
9 Kam ausis dzirdēt, tas lai dzird.”
If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
10 Un tie mācekļi piegājuši uz Viņu sacīja: “Kādēļ Tu uz tiem runā caur līdzībām?”
[We] disciples approached Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you speak to the crowd?”
11 Bet Viņš atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Jums ir dots zināt Dieva valstības noslēpumus, bet tiem tas nav dots.
He answered [us] saying, “God [EUP/MTY] is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [over people’s lives]. But he has not revealed it to others.
12 Jo kam ir, tam taps dots, un tam būs pārlieku; bet kam nav, no tā taps atņemts arī tas, kas tam ir.
Those who [think about what I say and] understand [it], God will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [think carefully about what I say] will forget even what they already know.
13 Tāpēc Es uz tiem runāju caur līdzībām, lai tie redzēdami neredz, un dzirdēdami nedzird, nedz saprot.
That is why I use parables when I speak to people, because although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means], and although they hear [what I say], they do not really understand [what it means].
14 Un pie tiem pravieša Jesajas vārdi piepildās, kas saka: “Ausīm jūs dzirdēsiet, bet nesapratīsiet; un redzēdami jūs redzēsiet, bet nenomanīsiet.
What these people do completely fulfills what [God told] the prophet Isaiah [to say long ago to the people who did not] try to understand what he said, You will hear [what I say], but you will not understand it. You will keep seeing [what I do], but you will not understand [what it means] [DOU].
15 Jo šo ļaužu sirds ir palikusi cieta, un ar ausīm tie ir pakurli un savas acis tie aizdarījuši, ka tie acīm neredz un ausīm nedzird un sirdī nesaprot, un neatgriežas, ka Es tos dziedinātu.”
[God also said to Isaiah], These people have become unresponsive [MTY] [to what they see me do and to what they hear me say]. They listen unwillingly [MTY] [to what I say], and they do not pay attention to [MTY] [what I do]. If it were not so, they would perceive [MTY] [what I am doing], they would understand [MTY] [what I say to them], and they would turn [away from their sinful lives] and turn [to me], and I would save them [from being punished for their sins] [MET].
16 Bet svētīgas ir jūsu acis, jo tās redz, un jūsu ausis, jo tās dzird.
But as for you, God is pleased with you because you [SYN] have seen [what I have done] and because you [SYN] understand [what I say] [DOU].
17 Jo patiesi, Es jums saku, ka daudz pravieši un taisni ir vēlējušies redzēt, ko jūs redzat, un nav redzējuši, un dzirdēt, ko jūs dzirdat, un nav dzirdējuši.
Note this: Many prophets and righteous people [who lived long ago] longed to see what you are seeing [me do], but they did not see it. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but they did not hear [what you hear me say].” [DOU]
18 Tad nu klausāties jūs to līdzību par to sējēju.
“[Since God wants] you [to understand what I am teaching you], listen as I [explain] the parable about the man who sowed [seeds in various kinds of soil].
19 Kad kas to vārdu par to valstību dzird un neprot, tad nāk tas ļaunais un rauj to nost, kas viņa sirdī ir sēts. Šis ir tas, kas sēts ceļmalā.
The people who hear about how God rules over people’s lives and do not understand [what they have heard] are [like] the path where [some of] the seeds fell. [Satan], the Evil One, comes and causes these people to forget [MET] what they have heard [MET].
20 Bet kas uz akmenāju sēts, ir tas, kas to vārdu dzird, un tūdaļ to ar prieku saņem.
[Some people are like the] shallow soil on top of rock. When they hear God’s message, they immediately accept it joyfully.
21 Bet viņam nav saknes iekš sevis, un viņš ir nepastāvīgs. Kad nu bēdas uziet un vajāšana tā vārda dēļ, tad viņš tūdaļ ņem apgrēcību.
[But because it does not penetrate deeply into their inner beings, they believe it for only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When they are treated badly and caused to suffer because they believe [God’s message], they soon stop believing [it].
22 Bet kas starp ērkšķiem sēts, ir tas, kas to vārdu dzird, un šīs pasaules zūdīšanās un bagātības viltība apslāpē to vārdu, un tas nenes augļus. (aiōn g165)
[Some people are like the soil that had the roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They hear God’s message, but they desire to be rich, [so they] worry [only] about [MTY, PRS] material things. As a result, they [PRS] forget [God’s] message, and they do not do [IDM] the things that God wants them to do. (aiōn g165)
23 Bet kas uz labu zemi sēts, ir tas, kas to vārdu dzird un saprot un turklāt nes augļus, cits simtkārtīgus un cits sešdesmitkārtīgus un cits trīsdesmitkārtīgus.”
But [some people are like the] good soil where [some of the seeds] fell. [Just like the plants that grew in this soil] produced a lot of grain, [these people] hear my message and understand it. [Some of them] do many things [IDM] [that please God, some do] even more [things that please God, and some do] very many [things that please God].”
24 Vēl citu līdzību Viņš tiem stāstīja un sacīja: “Debesu valstība ir kā kāds cilvēks, kas labu sēklu sēja savā tīrumā.
Jesus also told the crowd another parable, [by which he tried to explain that although] God [MTY/EUP] is a king, [he will not immediately judge and punish all the wicked people]. Jesus said, “[God] is like a landowner [who sent his servants] to sow good [wheat] seed in his field.
25 Bet ļaudīm guļot viņa ienaidnieks nāca un iesēja niknu zāli kviešu starpā un aizgāja.
While those servants were sleeping [and not watching the field], an enemy of the landowner came and scattered weed [seeds] in the midst of the wheat. Then he left.
26 Kad nu labība auga un vārpās metās, tad tā niknā zāle arīdzan rādījās.
After [the seeds] sprouted and the green plants [grew], the heads of grain began to form. But the weeds also grew.
27 Tad tie kalpi gāja pie tā nama tēva un uz to sacīja: “Kungs, vai tu neesi sējis labu sēklu savā tīrumā? No kurienes tad tā niknā zāle rodas?”
So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, you [RHQ] [gave us good seeds and those are the ones we] [RHQ] [planted] in your field. So where did the weeds come from?’
28 Un viņš uz tiem sacīja: “To tas ienaidnieks darījis.” Tad tie kalpi uz to sacīja: “Vai tad tu gribi, ka mēs ejam, to izravēt?”
The landowner said to them, ‘[My] enemy did this.’ His servants said to him, ‘So, do you want us to pull up [the weeds and] put them in a pile?’
29 Viņš sacīja: “Nē, ka jūs, to nikno zāli izravēdami, neizplūcat ir tos kviešus.
He said [to them], ‘No, [do not do that, because] you might pull up [some of] the wheat at the same time.
30 Lai aug abi kopā līdz pļaujamam laikam; un pļaujamā laikā es sacīšu tiem pļāvējiem: “Sakrājiet kopā papriekš to nikno zāli un sieniet to kūlīšos, lai tā top sadedzināta; bet tos kviešus sakrājiet manā šķūnī.”””
Let the wheat and the weeds grow together until harvest [time].’ At that time I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather the weeds, tie them into bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat [and put it] into my barns.’”
31 Vēl citu līdzību Viņš tiem stāstīja un sacīja: “Debesu valstība līdzinājās sinepju graudiņam, ko cilvēks ņēmis savā laukā iesēja.
Jesus also told this parable: “The [number of] (OR, [God’s influence in the lives of]) [people whose] lives God rules over [will continue to grow. It is very much] like mustard seeds grow after a man plants them in his field.
32 Šī gan ir tā mazākā starp visām sēklām, bet kad tā uzaug, tad tā ir lielāka pār citiem dārza stādiem un paliek par koku, tā ka tie putni apakš debess nāk un ligzdas taisa viņa zaros.”
Although mustard seeds are among the smallest of all the seeds [that people plant, here in Israel they become large plants. When the plants have fully grown, they are larger than the other garden plants. They become shrubs that are large enough for birds to build nests in their branches.”]
33 Vēl citu līdzību Viņš tiem sacīja: “Debesu valstība līdzinājās raugam, ko sieva ņēmusi iejauca trīs mēros miltu, tiekams viss sarūga.”
Jesus also told this parable: “[The way people who let] God [MTY/EUP] rule their lives [MET] [can influence the world] is like yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
34 Visu to Jēzus runāja caur līdzībām uz tiem ļaudīm, un bez līdzībām Viņš uz tiem nerunāja.
Jesus told the crowd parables [to teach them] all these things. When he spoke [HYP] to them, he habitually used such illustrations.
35 Lai piepildītos, ko tas pravietis runājis sacīdams: “Es Savu muti atdarīšu līdzībās, Es izrunāšu lietas, kas no pasaules iesākuma apslēptas.”
By doing that, [he] fulfilled what [God told one of] the prophets to write [long ago]: I will speak [MTY] in parables; I will tell [parables to teach] what I have kept secret since I created the world.
36 Tad Jēzus tos ļaudis atlaida un pārgāja mājās, un Viņa mācekļi pie Tā piegāja un sacīja: “Izstāsti mums to līdzību par to nikno zāli tīrumā.”
After Jesus dismissed the crowds, he went inside. Then [we] disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable about the weeds [that grew] in the [wheat] field.”
37 Un Viņš atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Tas, kas to labo sēklu sēj, ir Tas Cilvēka Dēls.
He answered, “The one who sows the good seed represents [me], the one who came from heaven.
38 Bet tas lauks ir pasaule, un tā labā sēkla ir tie valstības bērni, un tā niknā zāle ir tā ļaunā bērni.
The field represents this world [MTY], [where people live]. The seeds [that grew] well represent the people who let God rule their lives [MET]. The weeds represent the people who do what [the devil], the Evil One, [tells them to do].
39 Un tas ienaidnieks, kas to sējis, ir velns, un tas pļaujamais laiks ir šīs pasaules pastara gals, un tie pļāvēji ir tie eņģeļi. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sowed the weed seeds represents the devil. The [time when the reapers will] harvest [the grain] represents the time when the world will end. The reapers represent the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Tad nu tā kā tā niknā zāle top salasīta un ugunī sadedzināta, tā arī notiks šīs pasaules pastara galā. (aiōn g165)
The weeds are gathered and burned. {The reapers gather the weeds. Then they burn them.} That represents [the judging of people, which God will do] when the world will end. [It will be like this]: (aiōn g165)
41 Tas Cilvēka Dēls sūtīs savus eņģeļus, un tie salasīs no Viņa valstības visas apgrēcības un tos, kas dara netaisnību,
I, the one who came from heaven, will send my angels, and they will gather [from everywhere the people] who cause others to quit believing in me [MET] and all those who disobey [God’s] commands.
42 Un tos metīs degošā ceplī; tur būs raudāšana un zobu trīcēšana.
They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. (questioned)
43 Tad tie taisnie spīdēs kā saule sava Tēva valstībā. Kam ausis dzirdēt, tas lai dzird!
[God’s] brightness will shine [on] the people who have lived as he wants them to. It will shine [on them as brightly] as the sun [shines]. It will shine on them in the place where [God], their Father, rules over them. If you want to understand this [MTY], you should think [carefully] about what I have just said.”
44 Vēl Debesu valstība ir kā tīrumā apslēpta manta, ko cilvēks atradis apslēpa, un priecādamies par to, noiet un pārdod visu, kas tam ir, un pērk šo tīrumu.
“[What people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what a certain man did to acquire a treasure]. A treasure was hidden in a field by someone {Someone hid a treasure in a field [and never dug it up again]}. When [another] man found it, he hid it [by burying it again in order that no one else would find it]. Being very happy [that he had found something very valuable, he went and] sold all his possessions [to obtain money to buy the field the treasure was in]. He then went and bought the field, [and so he was able to acquire that treasure].
45 Vēl Debesu valstība ir līdzinājama tirgotājam, kas labas pērles meklēja.
Also, what [people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what] a merchant [did who was] looking for good quality pearls [to buy].
46 Un atradis vienu it dārgu pērli, nogāja un pārdeva visu, kas tam bija, un to nopirka.
When he found one very costly pearl [that was for sale], he sold all his possessions [to acquire enough money to buy that pearl]. Then he [went and] bought it.
47 Vēl Debesu valstība līdzinājās tīklam, jūrā izmestam, kas visādas zivis savilka.
What God [MTY/EUP] [will do to people who falsely say that they are letting him] rule their lives is like what certain [fishermen] did [with the fish they caught] in a lake, using a large net. They caught all classes [of fish, both useful and worthless fish].
48 Un kad tas bija pilns, tad tie to pie malas vilkuši un apsēdušies, tās labās ir salasījuši traukos, bet tās sapuvušās metuši ārā.
When the net was full, the [fishermen] pulled it up onto the shore. Then they sat there and put the useful [fish] into buckets, and threw the worthless ones away.
[What they did in separating the good fish from the bad ones] is like [what will happen to people] when the world ends. The angels will come [to where God is judging people], and will separate the wicked [people] from the righteous [ones]. (aiōn g165)
50 Un tos metīs degošā ceplī; tur būs raudāšana un zobu trīcēšana.”
They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” (questioned)
51 Jēzus uz tiem saka: “Vai jūs to visu esat sapratuši?” Tie uz Viņu sacīja: “Esam gan, Kungs.”
[Then Jesus asked us], “Do you understand all these [parables I have told you]?” We said to him,
52 Tad Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Tāpēc ikkatrs rakstu mācītājs, uz Debesu valstību mācīts, ir līdzīgs nama kungam, kas no savas mantas izdod jaunas un vecas lietas.”
“Yes, [we understand them].” Then he said to us, “Because [you understand all these parables], [you will understand the following parable: You, along with] all others, will teach people what [you heard me say] about God ruling people’s lives. [You will add that to what you formerly learned. You will be] like a manager of a household who takes both new things and old things out of his storage room.”
53 Un notikās, kad Jēzus šīs līdzības bija beidzis, tad Viņš aizgāja no turienes.
When Jesus had finished [telling] these parables, he took [us] and left that [area].
54 Un savā tēva pilsētā nācis, Viņš tos mācīja viņu baznīcā, tā ka tie iztrūcinājās un sacīja: “Kur Šim nāk tāda gudrība un tāds spēks?
We went to [Nazareth, his hometown. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day]) he began to teach the people in the Jewish worship house. The result was that the people there were astonished. But [some] said, “[This man is just an ordinary person like us. So] how is it that he knows so much and understands so much [RHQ]? And how is it that he is able to do [such] miracles [RHQ]?
55 Vai Šis nav tā amatnieka dēls? Vai Viņa māte netop saukta Marija un Viņa brāļi Jēkabs un Jāzeps un Sīmanis un Jūda?
(He is [just] the son of the carpenter!/Isn’t he [just] the son of the carpenter [that lived here]?) [RHQ] His mother is Mary, and his younger brothers are James, Joseph, Simon and Judas [RHQ]!
56 Un vai nav visas Viņa māsas pie mums? Kur tad Šis visu to dabūjis?”
(And his sisters [also live] here in our [town]./Do not his sisters [live] in our [town]?) [RHQ] So how is he able to do all these [miracles]?”
57 Un tie ņēma apgrēcību pie Viņa. Bet Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: “Pravietis nekur netop mazāki cienīts nekā savā tēva zemē un savās mājās.”
The people were unable to accept [that] he [was the Messiah. So] Jesus said to them, “[People] honor [me and other] prophets [everywhere else we go], but in [our] hometowns [we are] not [honored], and [even] our own families do not [honor us!]”
58 Un Viņš tur nedarīja daudz brīnumus viņu neticības dēļ.
Jesus did not perform many miracles there because the people did not believe [that he was the Messiah].
