Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 15
1 Tad rakstu mācītāji un farizeji no Jeruzālemes nāca pie Jēzus sacīdami:
Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
2 “Kāpēc Tavi mācekļi pārkāpj vecaju likumus? Jo tie savas rokas nemazgā, kad maizi ēd.”
“(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
3 Bet Viņš atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Kāpēc jūs arīdzan pārkāpjat Dieva bauslību caur saviem likumiem?
Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
4 Jo Dievs ir pavēlējis un sacījis: “Godā savu tēvu un māti!” Un: “Kas savu tēvu vai māti lād, tam būs mirt.”
God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
5 Bet jūs māciet, ja kas sakot uz tēvu vai māti: “Kas tev no manis varētu par labu nākt, tas lai ir Dievam par upuri!” tas labi darot. Tāds tiešām savu tēvu un savu māti negodās.
But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
6 Tad jūs nu Dieva bauslību nicināt caur saviem likumiem.
And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
7 Jūs liekuļi, pareizi Jesaja par jums sludinājis sacīdams:
You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
8 “Šie ļaudis pie Manis turas ar savu muti un godā Mani ar savām lūpām; bet viņu sirds ir tālu no Manis nost.
‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
9 Bet velti tie Mani cienī, mācīdami mācības, kas ir cilvēku pavēles,””
It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
10 Un Viņš tos ļaudis pieaicinājis uz tiem sacīja: “Klausāties un saprotiet.
Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
11 Kas mutē ieiet, tas cilvēku nesagāna; bet kas no mutes iziet, tas cilvēku sagāna.”
Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
12 Tad Viņa mācekļi piegājuši sacīja uz Viņu: “Vai Tu zini, ka tie farizeji, Tavus vārdus dzirdēdami, apgrēcību ņēmuši?”
Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
13 Bet Viņš atbildēja un sacīja: “Visi dēsti, ko Mans Debesu Tēvs nav dēstījis, taps izrauti ar saknēm.
Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
14 Atstājiet no tiem; tie ir akli aklu ceļa rādītāji; bet ja akls aklam ceļu rāda, tad abi divi kritīs bedrē.”
Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
15 Tad Pēteris atbildēja un uz Viņu sacīja: “Izstāsti mums šo līdzību.”
Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
16 Un Jēzus sacīja: “Vai tad ir jūs vēl esat nesaprašas?
He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
17 Vai jūs vēl nenomanāt, ka viss, kas mutē ieiet tas noiet vēderā un top izmests caur vēderu.
(You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
18 Bet kas no mutes iziet, tas nāk no sirds, un tas cilvēku sagāna.
[You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
19 Un no sirds nāk ļaunas domas, slepkavības, laulības pārkāpšanas, maucības, zādzības, nepatiesas liecības, zaimošanas.
It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
20 Viss tas cilvēku sagāna; bet nemazgātām rokām ēst tas cilvēku nesagāna.”
It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
21 Un no turienes izgājis, Jēzus atkāpās pret Tirus un Sidonas robežām.
After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
22 Un redzi, viena Kanaāniešu sieva, no tām pašām robežām izgājusi, uz Viņu sauca sacīdama: “Ak Kungs, Tu Dāvida dēls, apžēlojies par mani; mana meita top no velna nežēlīgi vārdzināta.”
A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
23 Un Viņš tai neatbildēja neviena vārda. Un Viņa mācekļi piegājuši Viņu lūdza un sacīja: “Atlaidi to, jo tā brēc mums pakaļ.”
But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
24 Bet Viņš atbildēja un sacīja: “Es neesmu sūtīts kā vien pie tām pazudušām avīm no Israēla cilts.”
But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
25 Bet tā nāca, metās zemē priekš Viņa un sacīja: “Kungs, palīdzi man!”
But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
26 Bet Viņš atbildēja un sacīja: “Neklājās, bērniem maizi atņemt un sunīšiem mest priekšā.”
Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
27 Viņa sacīja: “Tā ir gan, Kungs! Bet tomēr sunīši ēd no tām drusciņām, kas no viņu kungu galda nokrīt.”
[But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
28 Tad Jēzus atbildēja un uz to sacīja: “Ak sieva, tava ticība ir liela; lai tev notiek, kā tu gribi;” un viņas meita tapa vesela tai pašā stundā.
Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
29 Un Jēzus aizgāja no turienes un nāca pie Galilejas jūras, un uzkāpa kalnā un tur apsēdās.
After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
30 Un daudz ļaužu atnāca pie Viņa un atveda līdz tizlus, aklus, mēmus, kropļus un daudz citus, un nometa tos Jēzum pie kājām, un Viņš tos dziedināja.
Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
31 Tā ka tie ļaudis brīnījās, kad redzēja mēmus runājam, kropļus veselus, tizlus staigājam un aklus redzam, un teica Israēla Dievu.
The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
32 Un Jēzus, Savus mācekļus pie Sevis aicinājis, sacīja: “Mana sirds par tiem ļaudīm, iežēlojās, jo tie nu trīs dienas pie Manis palikuši, un tiem nav ko ēst; un Es tos negribu atlaist neēdušus, ka tie uz ceļa nenonīkst badā.”
Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
33 Un Viņa mācekļi uz To sacīja: “Kur lai ņemam šeitan tuksnesī tik daudz maizes, ka pieēdinājām tādu pulku ļaužu?”
We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
34 Un Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: “Cik jums maizes?” Tie sacīja: “Septiņas un maz zivtiņu.”
Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
35 Un Viņš tiem ļaudīm lika pie zemes apsēsties.
He told the people to sit on the ground.
36 Un tās septiņas maizes un tās zivis ņēmis, Viņš pateicās un pārlauza un deva Saviem mācekļiem, un tie mācekļi tiem ļaudīm.
Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
37 Un tie visi ēda un paēda un salasīja no atlikušām druskām septiņus kurvjus pilnus.
[Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
38 Un to, kas bija ēduši, bija četrtūkstoš vīri, bez sievām un bērniem.
39 Un Viņš tos ļaudis atlaidis, kāpa laivā un nāca uz Magdaļas robežām.
After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
