Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 20
1 Jo Debesu valstība ir kā kāds nama tēvs, kas no rīta agrumā izgāja, strādniekus derēt savā vīna kalnā.
“[In order to illustrate how God rewards people], I will compare [the way] God [MTY/EUP] rules his people with what the owner of an estate [did]. Early in the morning the owner of the estate went to [the market] where [people who wanted work gathered]. He went there to hire laborers to work in his vineyard.
2 Un saderējis ar tiem strādniekiem par vienu sudraba grasi par dienas algu, viņš tos nosūtīja savā vīna kalnā.
He promised the men whom he hired that he would pay them the standard wage [for working] one day. Then he sent them to his vineyards.
3 Un izgājis ap trešo stundu, viņš redzēja vēl citus pie tirgus bez darba stāvam,
At nine o’clock [that same morning] he went back [to the market]. There he saw more men who did not have work.
4 Un uz tiem sacīja: “Noejat arī jūs vīna kalnā, es jums došu, kas nākas.”
He said to them, ‘Go to my vineyard as other men have done, [and work there]. I will pay you whatever is a just [wage].’ [So they also went to his vineyard and began to work].
5 Un tie nogāja. Atkal viņš izgāja ap sesto un devīto stundu un darīja tāpat.
At noon and at three o’clock he again went [to the market] and found [other laborers whom he promised to pay a fair wage].
6 Bet ap vienpadsmito stundu izgājis, viņš atrada vēl citus bez darba stāvam, un uz tiem saka: “Ko jūs visu dienu še stāviet bez darba?”
At five o’clock he went [to the market again] and saw other [men] standing [there who were not working]. He said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day and not working?’
7 Tie uz viņu saka: “Neviens mūs nav derējis.” Viņš uz tiem saka: “Ejat jūs arīdzan vīna kalnā, un kas nākas, to jūs dabūsiet.”
They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘[I will hire you]. Go to my vineyard as other men have done, [and work there.’ So they went].
8 Kad nu vakars metās, tad tas vīna kalna kungs saka savam uzraugam: “Sauc tos strādniekus un dod tiem to algu, no pēdējiem sākdams, pie pirmajiem beigdams.”
When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Tell the men to come so that you can give them their wages. First, pay the men who started working last, and pay the men last who started working first.’
9 Tad tie nāca, kas ap vienpadsmito stundu derēti, un dabūja savu grasi.
The [manager] paid the standard daily wage to each of the men who did not start working until five o’clock [in the afternoon].
10 Bet kad tie pirmie nāca, tad tie cerēja vairāk dabūt; un tie arī dabūja ikviens savu grasi.
When the men who had begun working early [in the morning] went [to get their wages], they thought that they would receive more than the standard wage. But they also received only the standard wage.
11 To dabūjuši, tie kurnēja pret to nama tēvu,
So they complained to the owner of the vineyard [because they thought their payment was unfair].
12 Un sacīja: “Šie pēdējie vienu stundu vien strādājuši, un tu tos esi līdzinājis mums, kas dienas nastu un karstumu esam cietuši.”
They said [to him], ‘[You are not being fair!] The men who started working after [all of the rest of us started] worked for [only] one hour! You have [paid] them the same [wage] as [you paid] us! But we worked hard [all] day [IDM], [including working in the] hottest part of the day!’
13 Bet viņš atbildēja un uz vienu no tiem sacīja: “Draugs, es tev netaisnību nedaru. Vai tu ar mani neesi saderējis par vienu grasi?
The owner of the vineyard said to one of those [who complained], ‘Friend, I did not treat you unfairly. You agreed with me [to work the whole day] for the standard wage [RHQ].
14 Ņem, kas tev pieder, un ej; bet es šiem pēdējiem gribu tā dot kā tev.
[Stop complaining to me]! Take your wage and go! I desire to give the same wage that I gave you to the men who began working after all of you [had begun working].
15 Jeb vai man nav brīv, darīt ar savu mantu, kā es gribu? Jeb vai tava acs tāpēc skauž, ka es esmu labs?”
I certainly have a right to [spend my money] as I desire [RHQ], [including paying those laborers what I desire to pay them]. (You should not be envious about my being generous!/Are you angry [MET] because I am generous?) [RHQ]’”
16 Tā tie pēdējie taps tie pirmie, un tie pirmie tie pēdējie. Jo daudz ir aicināti, bet maz izredzēti.”
[Then Jesus said to us], “Similarly, [God will reward] well [some] people who [seem to be] less important now, and he will not reward [some] people who [seem to be] more important [now].”
17 Un noiedams uz Jeruzālemi, Jēzus ņēma tos divpadsmit mācekļus pie Sevis un ceļā uz tiem sacīja:
When Jesus was walking [on the road] up to Jerusalem, [along with us] twelve [disciples], he took us to a place by ourselves [in order that he could talk to us privately]. Then he said to us,
18 “Redzi, mēs noejam uz Jeruzālemi, un Tas Cilvēka Dēls taps nodots tiem augstiem priesteriem un rakstu mācītājiem, un tie Viņu pazudinās pie nāves.
“Listen carefully! We are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there, someone] will enable the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws to seize [me], the one who came from heaven, [and they will put me on trial]. They will condemn me [and say] that I should be killed {the authorities should kill me}.
19 Un Viņu nodos tiem pagāniem; tie Viņu apmēdīs, šaustīs un krustā sitīs, un trešā dienā Viņš atkal celsies augšām.”
[Then they] will put me in the hands of non-Jews so that they can make fun of me, whip me, [and kill me by] nailing me to a cross. But on the third day [after that], [God] will cause me to live again.”
20 Tad Cebedeja dēlu māte ar saviem dēliem nāca pie Viņa, metās zemē un lūdza ko no Viņa.
Then the mother of James and John brought her two sons to Jesus. She bowed down before Jesus and asked him to do her a favor.
21 Un Viņš tai sacīja: “Ko tu gribi?” Tā uz Viņu sacīja: “Saki, lai šie mani divi dēli sēž Tavā valstībā viens Tev pa labo un otrs pa kreiso roku.”
Jesus said to her, “What do you want [me to do for you]?” She said to him, “Permit these two sons of mine to sit next to you (OR, Permit these two sons of mine to sit next to you at your right side and at your left side) [and rule with you] [MTY] when you become king.”
22 Bet Jēzus atbildēja un sacīja: “Jūs nezināt, ko jūs lūdzat. Vai jūs varat dzert to biķeri, ko Es dzeršu, un likties kristīties ar to kristību, ar ko Es topu kristīts?” Tie uz viņu sacīja: “Varam gan.”
Jesus said to [her and her sons], “You do not understand what you are asking for. Can you suffer like I am about to suffer [IDM]?” [James and John] answered him, “Yes, we are able [to do that].”
23 Un Viņš uz tiem saka: “Manu biķeri jums gan būs dzert, un ar to kristību, ar ko Mani kristīs, jums būs tapt kristītiem; bet sēdēt pie Manas labās un kreisās rokas, Man nepieder dot, bet tas būs tiem, kam Mans Tēvs to novēlējis.”
Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, you will suffer as I will suffer [IDM]. But I am not the one who chooses the ones who [will] sit next to me [and rule with me]. [God], my Father, will give those places [MTY] to the ones whom he appoints.”
24 Un kad tie desmit to dzirdēja, tad tie apskaitās par tiem diviem brāļiem.
When we ten [other disciples] heard [what James and John had requested], we became angry with them [because we also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
25 Bet Jēzus tos aicināja pie Sevis un sacīja: “Jūs zināt, ka tie pasaules valdnieki pār ļaudīm valda, un tiem lieliem kungiem pār tiem ir vara.
[So] Jesus called all of us together and said [to us], “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing them that they are powerful. Their chief rulers [enjoy] commanding the people under them.
26 Bet pie jums tā nebūs būt; bet ja kas no jums grib būt liels, tas lai ir jūsu sulainis.
You [should] not be like them. On the contrary, everyone among you who wants [God to consider] him great must become [like] a servant for [the rest of] you.
27 Un ja kas grib būt jūsu starpā tas pirmais, tas lai ir jūsu kalps;
And everyone among you who wants [God to consider him] to be the most important must become [like] a slave for [the rest of] you.
28 Tā kā Tas Cilvēka Dēls nav nācis, ka Viņam taptu kalpots, bet ka Viņš kalpotu, un Savu dzīvību dotu par atpirkšanas maksu priekš daudziem.”
[You should imitate me]. [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I did not come to be served {in order that people would serve me}. On the contrary, I [came in order] to serve [others] and to [IDM] allow myself to be killed {other people to kill me}, so that [my dying would be like] a payment to rescue many [people from being punished for their sins].” [MTY]
29 Un kad tie no Jērikus izgāja, tad Viņam daudz ļaužu nāca pakaļ.
As we were leaving Jericho [city], a large crowd of people followed [us].
30 Un redzi, divi akli sēdēja ceļmalā; kad tie dzirdēja Jēzu secen ejam, tad tie brēca un sacīja: “Apžēlojies par mums, Kungs, Tu Dāvida dēls!”
[As we walked along, we saw] two blind men sitting alongside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they yelled [to him], “Lord, Descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah] Take pity on us!”
31 Bet tie ļaudis tos apsauca, ka tie klusu ciestu; bet tie brēca vēl vairāk un sacīja: “Apžēlojies par mums, Kungs, Tu Dāvida dēls!”
[People in] the crowd scolded them [and] told them to be quiet. But the blind men yelled even louder, “Lord, Descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah] Have pity on us!”
32 Un Jēzus apstājās, tos aicināja un sacīja: “Ko jūs gribat, lai Es jums daru?”
Jesus stopped and called them [to come to him]. [Then] he said [to them], “What do you want me to do for you?”
33 Tie uz Viņu saka: “Kungs, ka mūsu acis top atdarītas.”
They said to him, “Lord, heal our eyes [IDM] [so that we can see]!”
34 Un Jēzum palika žēl, un Viņš aizskāra viņu acis, un tūdaļ viņu acis tapa gaišas, un tie Viņam gāja pakaļ.
Jesus [felt] sorry [for them and] touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, and they went with Jesus.
