Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 21
1 Un kad tie tuvu pie Jeruzālemes nāca, pie Betfagas, pie Eļļas kalna, tad Jēzus sūtīja divus no Saviem mācekļiem
As [we] approached Jerusalem, we came near Bethphage [village], near Olive [Tree] Hill. Jesus said to two [of his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of us. As soon as you enter [it], you will see a donkey and her foal that are {someone has} tied [up]. Untie them and bring them [here] to me.
2 Un tiem sacīja: “Ejat uz to miestu, kas jūsu priekšā; un tūdaļ jūs atradīsiet ēzeļa māti piesietu un pie tās kumeļu. Atraisījuši atvediet tos pie Manis.
3 Un ja kas jums ko sacīs, tad atsakāt: “Tam Kungam to vajag,” tūdaļ viņš jums tos atlaidīs.”
If anyone says anything to you [about your doing that], tell [him], ‘The Lord needs them.’ He will [then allow you to] lead them away.”
4 Bet viss tas notika, lai piepildās, ko tas pravietis sacījis sludinādams:
When all this happened, what was written by a prophet {what a prophet wrote about} was fulfilled {happened}. The prophet wrote, “Tell the people who live in Jerusalem [SYN], ‘Look! Your king is coming to you! He will come humbly. He [will show that he is humble, because he will be] riding on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
5 “Sakait Ciānas meitai: redzi, tavs ķēniņš nāk pie tevis, lēnprātīgs, jādams uz ēzeļa un nastu nesējas ēzeļa mātes kumeļa.”
6 Tie mācekļi nogāja un darīja, kā Jēzus tiem bija pavēlējis.
So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
7 Un atveda to ēzeļa māti un to kumeļu, un uzlika savas drēbes un sēdināja Viņu tur virsū.
They brought the donkey and its colt [to Jesus]. They placed their cloaks on them [to make something for him to sit on]. Then Jesus [mounted the colt] and sat on the cloaks.
8 Bet daudz ļaužu izklāja savas drēbes uz ceļa; bet citi cirta zarus no kokiem un izkaisīja tos uz ceļa.
Then a large crowd spread [some of] their clothing on the road, and other [people] cut off branches from [palm] trees and spread them on the road. [They did those things to decorate the road in order to honor Jesus].
9 Bet tie ļaudis, kas priekšā gāja un no aizmugures staigāja, kliedza un sauca: “Ozianna Tam Dāvida dēlam, slavēts, kas nāk Tā Kunga Vārdā! Ozianna visaugstākās debesīs!”
The crowds that walked in front of him and those who walked behind him were shouting things like, “Praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” “May the Lord [God] bless [this one] who comes as [God’s] representative and with [God’s] authority [MTY].” “Praise God, who is in the highest [heaven]!”
10 Bet kad Viņš Jeruzālemē iejāja, tad visa pilsēta cēlās un sacīja: “Kas Tas tāds?”
As Jesus entered Jerusalem, a crowd of people [MTY] from all [over the city] became excited and were saying, “Why [are they honoring] this man [like that]?”
11 Bet tie ļaudis sacīja: “Šis ir Jēzus, tas pravietis no Nacaretes iekš Galilejas.”
The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
12 Un Jēzus iegāja Dieva namā un izdzina visus, kas Dieva namā pārdeva un pirka, un apgāza galdus tiem naudas mijējiem un krēslus tiem baložu pārdevējiem,
Then Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard] and chased out all of those who were buying and selling things there. He also overturned the tables of those who were giving [Temple tax money in exchange for Roman] coins, and he overturned the seats of those who were selling pigeons [for sacrifices].
13 Un uz tiem sacīja: “Stāv rakstīts: “Mans nams taps nosaukts lūgšanas nams,” bet jūs to esat darījuši par slepkavu bedri.”
Then he said to them, “It is {([Jeremiah/A prophet]) has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called a place where [people] pray’, but you bandits have made it [MET] your hideout!”
14 Un tur akli un tizli nogāja pie Viņa Dieva namā, un Viņš tos dziedināja.
After that, [many] blind [people] and lame [people] came to Jesus in the temple [in order that he would heal them], and he healed them.
15 Bet kad tie augstie priesteri un rakstu mācītāji redzēja tos brīnuma darbus, ko Viņš darīja, un tos bērnus Dieva namā brēcam un sakām: “Ozianna tam Dāvida dēlam!” tad tie apskaitās,
The high priests and the men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws saw the wonderful deeds that Jesus did. [They also saw and] heard the children shouting in the Temple, “We praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” The religious leaders were indignant [because they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah].
16 Un uz Viņu sacīja: “Vai Tu nedzirdi, ko šie saka?” Bet Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: “Dzirdu gan. Vai jūs nekad neesat lasījuši: no bērniņu un zīdāmu mutes Es slavu sataisīšu?”
[They thought that Jesus should not be allowing the children to say that], so they asked him, “[How can you tolerate] this [RHQ]? Do you hear what these [children] are shouting?” Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, I [hear them, but] if you [remembered what] you have read [in the Scriptures about children praising me, you would know that God is pleased] [RHQ] [with them]. [The psalmist] wrote, [saying to God], ‘You have taught infants and other children to praise you perfectly.’”
17 Un tos atstājis, Viņš izgāja no pilsētas ārā uz Betaniju un tur pārgulēja.
Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
18 Bet kad Viņš no rīta agrumā atkal uz pilsētu gāja, Viņam gribējās ēst.
Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] was hungry.
19 Un Viņš redzēja vienu vīģes koku ceļmalā, piegāja pie tā un neatrada uz tā nenieka, kā tik lapas vien, un uz to sacīja: “Uz tevis lai nemūžam vairs auglis neaug.” Un tūdaļ tas vīģes koks nokalta. (aiōn g165)
He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
20 Un tie mācekļi to redzējuši, brīnījās un sacīja: “Kā tas vīģes koks tik drīz nokaltis?”
[The next day] when we disciples saw [what had happened to the tree], we marveled, and we said [to Jesus], “(It is astonishing that the fig tree withered so quickly!/How is it that the fig tree dried up so quickly?)” [RHQ]
21 Bet Jēzus atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Patiesi, Es jums saku: ja jums ticība ir, un jūs prātā nešaubaties, tad jūs nevien to darīsiet ar to vīģes koku, bet arī, kad jūs šim kalnam sacīsiet: celies no savas vietas un meties jūrā, tad tas notiks.
Jesus said to us, “Think about this: If you believe [that God has power to do what you ask him to] and you do not doubt [that], you will be able to do [things like what I have] done to this fig tree. You will even be able to do [marvelous deeds like] saying to a nearby hill, ‘Uproot yourself and throw yourself into the sea’, and it will happen!
22 Un visu, ko jūs savā lūgšanā lūgsiet ticēdami, to jūs dabūsiet.”
In addition [to that], whenever you ask [God for something] when you pray [to him, if you] believe [that he will give it to you], you will receive [it from him].”
23 Un kad Viņš nāca Dieva namā, tad Viņam mācot tie augstie priesteri un ļaužu vecaji piegāja un sacīja: “Kādā varā Tu šīs lietas dari? Un kas Tev tādu varu devis?”
After that, Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard]. While he was teaching [the people], the chief priests and the elders of the Jewish Council approached him. They asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do what you did [here yesterday] [DOU]?”
24 Bet Jēzus atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Es jums arīdzan vienu vārdu gribu vaicāt? ja jūs Man to sacīsiet, tad Es jums arī sacīšu, kādā varā Es šīs lietas daru.
Jesus said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and if you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do these things.
25 No kurienes bija Jāņa kristība? Vai no debesīm, vai no cilvēkiem?” Bet tie apdomāja savā starpā sacīdami: “Ja mēs sakām: no debesīm, tad Viņš mums sacīs: Kāpēc tad jūs viņam neesat ticējuši?
Where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God or from people? [MTY/EUP]” The chief priests and elders debated among themselves [about what they should answer]. [They said to each other], “If we say, ‘[It was] [MTY/EUP] from God’, he will say to us, ‘Then (you should have believed his [message]!/why did you not believe [John’s message]?) [RHQ]’
26 Bet ja mēs sakām: no cilvēkiem, tad mums no tiem ļaudīm jābīstas; jo visi Jāni tur par pravieti.”
If we say, ‘It was from people’, we are afraid that the crowd [will react violently], because all [the people] believe that John was a prophet [sent by God].”
27 Un tie atbildēja un sacīja: “Mēs nezinām.” Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Tad arī Es jums nesaku, kādā varā Es šīs lietas daru.
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then he said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do the things I did [here yesterday].”
28 Bet kā jums šķiet? Vienam cilvēkam bija divi dēli, un tas gāja pie tā pirmā un sacīja: dēls, ej, strādā šodien manā vīna kalnā.
[Then Jesus said to the chief priests and elders], “Tell me [RHQ] what you think [about what I am about to tell you]. There was a man who had two sons. He went to his older son and said, ‘My son, go and work in my vineyard today!’
29 Bet tas atbildēja un sacīja: es negribu. Bet pēc tas viņam bija žēl un viņš nogāja.
But the son said [to his father], ‘I do not want to [go and work in your vineyard today]!’ But later he changed his mind, and he went to the vineyard [and worked].
30 Un tas tēvs gāja pie tā otra un sacīja tāpat. Bet tas atbildēja un sacīja: es iešu, kungs! un viņš nenogāja.
Then the father approached his younger son and said what he had said to his older son. That son said, ‘Sir, I will [go and work in the vineyard today.’] But he did not go there.
31 Kurš no tiem diviem ir darījis sava tēva prātu?” Tie uz Viņu saka: “Tas pirmais.” Jēzus uz viņiem saka: “Patiesi, Es jums saku: muitnieki un maukas drīzāk nāks Dieva valstībā, nekā jūs.
So which of the man’s two sons did what their father desired?” They answered, “The older son.” Jesus [explained to them what that parable meant] by saying, “Think about this: [It is more likely that other people, including] tax collectors and prostitutes, [whom you think are very sinful], will enter where God rules, than it is that you [Jewish leaders] will enter.
32 Jo Jānis pie jums ir nācis pa taisnības ceļu, un jūs viņam neesat ticējuši, bet muitnieki un maukas viņam ticējuši. Bet jebšu jūs to redzējāt, tomēr jums nebija žēl, tā ka viņam pēc būtu ticējuši.
I [say this to you] because, even though John [the Baptizer] explained to you how to live righteously, you did not believe his message. But tax collectors and prostitutes believed his [message, and they turned away from their sinful behavior]. In contrast, you, even though you saw what they did, refused to turn away from your sinful behavior, and you did not believe [John’s message].”
33 Klausāties citu līdzību. Bija nama tēvs, kas vīna kalnu dēstīja un to aptaisīja ar sētu un tur iekšā izraka vīna spaidu un uztaisīja torni un to izdeva strādniekiem un aizgāja citur.
“Listen to another parable [that I will tell you]. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it. He dug a hole in the ground [inside the fence]. He placed [in the hole] a stone tank to [collect the juice that would be] pressed out of the grapes. He also built a tower [inside that fence that someone would sit in to guard that vineyard]. He arranged for some men [to care for] the vineyard [and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went away to another country.
34 Kad nu augļu laiks atnāca, tad viņš sūtīja savus kalpus pie tiem strādniekiem savus augļus dabūt.
When it was time to harvest the grapes, the landowner sent some of his servants to the men who were taking care of the vineyard to get his share of the grapes [that the vineyard had produced].
35 Bet tie strādnieki viņa kalpus ņēmuši, vienu šauta un otru nokāva un trešo akmeņiem nomētāja.
But the renters seized the servants. They beat one of them, they killed another one, and [killed] another one of them [by throwing] stones at him.
36 Atkal tas sūtīja citus kalpus, vairāk nekā papriekš, un tie viņiem tāpat darīja.
[So the landowner] sent more servants than [he had sent] the first [time]. The renters treated those servants the same way that [they had treated the other servants].
37 Beidzot viņš pie tiem sūtīja savu dēlu un sacīja: taču tie kaunēsies no mana dēla.
Later, [knowing this], [the landowner] sent his son to [the renters to get his share of the grapes]. When he sent him, he said [to himself], ‘They will certainly respect my son [and give him some of the grapes].’
38 Bet kad tie strādnieki to dēlu redzēja, tad tie sacīja savā starpā: šis ir tas mantinieks; nāciet, nokausim to un paturēsim viņa mantību.
But when the renters saw his son [arriving], they said to each other, ‘This is the man who will inherit [this vineyard]! Let’s kill him and divide the property [among ourselves].’
39 Tad tie viņu ņēmuši izmeta no vīna kalna ārā un nokāva.
So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Kad nu tas vīna kalna kungs nāks, ko viņš šiem strādniekiem darīs?”
[Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
41 Viņi uz To sacīja: “Viņš šos ļaundarītājus nežēlīgi nomaitās un to vīna kalnu izdos citiem strādniekiem, kas viņam augļus dos īstenā laikā.”
[The chief priests and elders] replied, “He will thoroughly destroy those wicked [renters]! Then he will rent the vineyard to others. They will give him [his share of] the grapes when they are ripe.”
42 Jēzus uz tiem sacīja: vai jūs nekad Dieva rakstos neesat lasījuši: tas akmens, ko tie nama taisītāji atmetuši, tas ir palicis par stūra akmeni; tas ir no Tā Kunga un ir brīnums mūsu acīs?
Jesus said to them, “[That is right, so you need to think carefully about these words which] you have read [RHQ] in the Scriptures: The builders rejected a certain stone. [But others put] that same stone [in its proper place, and it] has become the most important stone [of the] building [MET]. The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.
43 Tāpēc Es jums saku: Dieva valstība jums taps atņemta un pagāniem dota, kas nes viņas augļus.
So, [because you reject me], I am going to tell you this: God will no longer let you [Jews] be the people over whom he rules. Instead, he will let [non-Jews] be the people over whom he rules, and they will do [IDM] what he asks them to do.
44 Un kas uz šo akmeni kritīs, tas sadauzīsies, bet uz ko tas krīt, to tas satrieks.”
[The important stone in the building represents me, the Messiah, and those who reject me are like people who fall on this stone]. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken into pieces {This cornerstone will break into pieces anyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
45 Un kad tie augstie priesteri un farizeji Viņa līdzības dzirdēja, tad tie nomanīja, ka Tas par viņiem runāja.
When the chief priests and the [elders who were] Pharisees heard this parable, they realized that he was accusing them [because they did not believe that he was the Messiah].
46 Un meklēdami Viņu tvert, tie bijās no tiem ļaudīm, tāpēc ka tie Viņu cienīja par pravieti.
They wanted to seize him, but [they did not do so] because they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that], because [the crowds] considered that Jesus was a prophet.
