Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 7
1 Netiesājiet, lai jūs netopat tiesāti.
“Do not talk about how sinfully others have acted, in order that God will not say how sinfully you have acted.
2 Jo ar kādu tiesu jūs tiesājiet, jūs tapsiet tiesāti, un ar kādu mēru jūs mērojiet, jums taps atmērots.
If you condemn [other people], [God] will condemn you. To the same extent that you condemn others, you will be condemned {[God] will condemn you}.
3 Un ko tu redzi skabargu sava brāļa acī, bet baļķi savā acī tu nenomani?
(None of you should be concerned [about someone else’s small faults] [MET]!/Why should any of you be concerned [about someone else’s small faults]?) [MET, RHQ] [That would be like noticing] a speck in that person’s eye. But you should [be concerned about your own big faults. They are like] [MET] planks in your own eye, which you do not notice.
4 Jeb kā tu sacīsi uz savu brāli: laid, es izvilkšu to skabargu no tavas acs, - un redzi, baļķis ir tavā paša acī?
(You should not say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes!’/Why do you say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes?’) [RHQ] [You should not say that] if a plank is still in your own eye [MET].
5 Tu liekuli, velc papriekš to baļķi no savas acs un tad pielūko izvilkt to skabargu no sava brāļa acs.
You hypocrite, [stop committing your own sins! That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye [MET]. Then, as a result, you will be able to perceive things spiritually so that you can help other people get rid of the [faults] [MET] [that are like] specks in their eyes.”
6 Nedodiet to svētumu suņiem un nemetiet savas pērles cūkām priekšā, ka tās ar savām kājām viņas nesamin un atgriezdamās jūs nesaplosa.
“You do not give holy things to dogs [that would ignore those things] and attack you [CHI]. You do not throw pearls in front of hogs, [because they would just ignore them] and trample them. [Similarly], do not give [precious spiritual truth to people you know will not value it but instead will do evil things to you].”
7 Lūdziet, tad jums taps dots; meklējiet, tad jūs atradīsiet; klaudziniet, tad jums taps atvērts.
“Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you. Confidently keep [expecting God to give you the things that you need, and he will give them to you. It will be like] [MET] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying persistently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] [MET] knocking [on a door in order to enter a room]. And the way will be opened {[God] will open the way} for you [to get what you pray for].
8 Jo ikviens, kas lūdzās, dabū, un kas meklē, atrod, un tam, kas klaudzina, top atvērts.
Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep persistently praying for].
9 Jeb kurš cilvēks ir jūsu starpā, kas savam dēlam, kad tas maizes lūdzās, dotu akmeni?
(No man among you would give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread./Would anyone among you give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread?) [RHQ]
10 Jeb kad tas zivi lūdzās, tam dotu čūsku?
Likewise, (no man would give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish./would anyone give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish?) [RHQ]
11 Ja tad jūs, ļauni būdami, zināt saviem bērniem dot labas dāvanas, vai jo vairāk jūsu Tēvs debesīs nedos laba tiem, kas Viņu lūdz?
You, who are evil, know how to give good things to your children. So [God], your Father who is in heaven, will certainly give good things to the people who ask him.”
12 Tad nu visu, ko jūs gribat, lai cilvēki jums dara, tāpat dariet arī jūs viņiem. Jo šī ir tā bauslība un tie pravieši.
“So in whatever way you want others to act toward you [(pl)], that is the way you [(pl)] should act toward them, because that [sums up what Moses wrote in] the laws [that God gave him] and [also what] the prophets [wrote long ago].”
13 Ieejat caur tiem šauriem vārtiem, jo tie vārti ir plati un tas ceļš ir plats, kas aizved uz pazušanu, un to ir daudz, kas caur tiem ieiet.
“[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way. [The way] that most [people take] is easy, [but it results in their being punished] {[God punishing them]} [in hell. That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” (questioned)
14 Un tie vārti ir šauri un šaurs tas ceļš, kas aizved uz dzīvību, un to ir maz, kas to atrod.
15 Bet sargājieties no tiem viltīgiem praviešiem, kas pie jums nāk avju drēbēs, bet no iekšpuses tie ir plēsīgi vilki.
“Beware of people who come to you and say falsely that they are telling you [what God has said]. [They seem to be harmless, but they are extremely harmful. They are like] wolves that have covered themselves with sheepskins [to make people believe that they are sheep] [MET], but they actually are wolves that attack people [MET].
16 Pēc viņu augļiem jums tos būs pazīt. Kas var lasīt vīnogas no ērkšķiem, jeb vīģes no dadžiem?
[So how will you know that they are false?] Well, by seeing what plants produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are [MET]. [For example, thornbushes cannot produce grapes], so (no one can pick grapes from thornbushes./can anyone pick grapes from thornbushes?) [RHQ] And [thistles cannot produce figs], so (no one can pick figs from thistles./can anyone pick figs from thistles?) [RHQ]
17 Tāpat ikkatrs labs koks nes labus augļus, bet nelāga koks nes nelabus augļus.
[Here is another example]: All good fruit trees produce good fruit, but all unhealthy trees produce worthless fruit.
18 Labs koks nevar nest nelabus augļus, un nelāga koks nevar nest labus augļus.
No good fruit tree is able to produce worthless fruit, and no unhealthy tree is able to produce good fruit.
19 Ikkatrs koks, kas nenes labus augļus, top nocirsts un ugunī iemests.
[And] all the trees that do not produce good fruit are chopped down and burned in a fire {people chop them down and burn them in a fire} [to get rid of them]. [Similarly], those who falsely claim to be prophets [will be thrown] {[God will throw false prophets]} [into the fires of hell]. (questioned)
20 Tāpēc pēc viņu augļiem jums tos būs pazīt.
By seeing [what plants] produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are. [Similarly, when you see what the people who come to you do], [you will know if they are false prophets].”
21 Ne ikkatrs, kas uz Mani saka: Kungs! Kungs! ieies Debesu valstībā; bet tas, kas Mana debes'Tēva prātu dara.
“[Even though many] people [habitually] call me ‘Lord’, [pretending that they have my authority], some of them will not go to heaven where God rules, [because they do not do what he desires]. [Only] those people who do what my Father, who is in heaven, desires [will go there].
22 Daudzi uz Mani sacīs tanī dienā: Kungs! Kungs! Vai mēs Tavā vārdā neesam nākošas lietas sludinājuši? Vai mēs Tavā vārdā neesam velnus izdzinuši? Vai mēs Tavā vārdā neesam daudz varenus darbus darījuši?
On the day [MTY] [that God judges everyone], many [people, trying to tell me that they deserve to go to heaven], will say to me, ‘Lord, we(exc) spoke God’s message as your representatives [MTY, RHQ]! As your representatives we(exc) expelled demons from [people] [RHQ]! And as your representatives, many times we(exc) performed miracles [RHQ]!’
23 Un tad Es tiem it skaidri sacīšu: Es nekad jūs neesmu pazinis; ejat nost no Manis, jūs ļaundarītāji.
Then I will declare to them, ‘I have never said that you belonged to me. Go away from me, you who do what is evil!’”
24 Tāpēc ikvienu, kas šos Manus vārdus dzird un dara, to Es līdzināšu kādam gudram vīram, kas savu namu uztaisījis uz klints kalna.
“So then, anyone who hears what I say and does what I command, will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
25 Kad nu stiprs lietus lija un straumes nāca un vēji pūta un piesitās pie tā nama, tad tas tomēr neapgāzās; jo tas bija uztaisīts uz klints.
[Even though] the rain came down and the river flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it did not fall down because it had been built {he built it} on a solid foundation.
26 Un ikviens, kas šos Manus vārdus dzird un nedara, tas taps līdzināts ģeķim, kas savu namu uztaisījis uz smiltīm.
On the other hand, anyone who hears what I say but does not obey what I say will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 Kad nu stiprs lietus lija un straumes nāca un vēji pūta un sitās pie tā nama, tad tas apgāzās un gāja viss postā.”
When the rain fell and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it crashed down and broke completely apart, [because it was built on the sand. So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
28 Un notikās, kad Jēzus šos vārdus bija beidzis, tad tie ļaudis izbrīnījās par Viņa mācību.
When Jesus finished saying all those things, the [who had been listening to him were] amazed at the [new] teaching that he had taught them.
29 Jo Viņš tos mācīja tā kā pats varenais, un nekā tie rakstu mācītāji.
The reason they were amazed was that he was teaching as a person does who has authority. He was not teaching like the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, [who just repeated what other people had taught them].
