Romans 14
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
| ܠܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܒܘ ܠܗ ܐܝܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܦܠܓܝܢ ܒܡܚܫܒܬܟܘܢ |
2 One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
| ܐܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܕܟܠܡܕܡ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܘܕܟܪܝܗ ܝܪܩܐ ܗܘ ܐܟܠ |
3 Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܠܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܠܐ ܢܫܘܛ ܘܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܠܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܐܟܠ ܠܐ ܢܕܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܩܪܒܗ |
4 Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.
| ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܕܕܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܕܝܠܟ ܕܐܢ ܩܐܡ ܠܡܪܗ ܩܐܡ ܘܐܢ ܢܦܠ ܠܡܪܗ ܢܦܠ ܡܩܡ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܩܐܡ ܡܛܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܡܪܗ ܕܢܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ |
5 One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
| ܐܝܬ ܕܕܐܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܕܐܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܕܥܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܢܫܬܪܪ |
6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
| ܡܢ ܕܡܬܪܥܐ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܠܡܪܗ ܡܬܪܥܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܪܥܐ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܠܡܪܗ ܠܐ ܡܬܪܥܐ ܘܕܐܟܠ ܠܡܪܗ ܐܟܠ ܘܠܐܠܗܐ ܡܘܕܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܠܡܪܗ ܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܘܡܘܕܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
| ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܢ ܕܠܢܦܫܗ ܚܝ ܘܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܠܢܦܫܗ ܡܐܬ |
8 For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
| ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢ ܚܐܝܢܢ ܠܡܪܢ ܚܐܝܢܢ ܘܐܢ ܡܝܬܝܢܢ ܠܡܪܢ ܗܘ ܡܝܬܝܢܢ ܘܐܢ ܚܝܝܢܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܘܐܢ ܡܝܬܝܢܢ ܕܡܪܢ ܚܢܢ |
9 For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܝܬ ܘܚܝܐ ܘܩܡ ܕܗܘ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܝܬܐ ܘܠܚܝܐ |
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
| ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܠܐܚܘܟ ܐܘ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܢܐ ܫܐܛ ܐܢܬ ܠܐܚܘܟ ܟܠܢ ܓܝܪ ܥܬܝܕܝܢܢ ܠܡܩܡ ܩܕܡ ܒܝܡ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ |
11 For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
| ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܠܝ ܬܟܘܦ ܟܠ ܒܪܘܟ ܘܠܝ ܢܘܕܐ ܟܠ ܠܫܢ |
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
| ܡܕܝܢ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܚܠܦ ܢܦܫܗ ܝܗܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
13 Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
| ܠܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܢܕܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܐܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܘܢܘ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܠܐܚܘܟ ܠܐ ܬܤܝܡ |
14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
| ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܘܡܦܤ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܡܤܝܒ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܠܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܝܢܐ ܕܪܢܐ ܥܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܛܡܐ ܠܗܘ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܛܡܐ |
15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
| ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܡܥܝܩ ܐܢܬ ܠܐܚܘܟ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܡܗܠܟ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܘܒܕ ܒܡܐܟܘܠܬܟ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܡܝܬ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
16 Then don’t let your good be slandered,
| ܘܠܐ ܬܬܓܕܦ ܛܒܬܢ |
17 for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
| ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܐܟܠܐ ܘܡܫܬܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܘܚܕܘܬܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ |
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
| ܡܢ ܕܒܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܡܫ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܫܦܪ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܩܐ |
19 So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
| ܗܫܐ ܒܬܪ ܫܠܡܐ ܢܪܗܛ ܘܒܬܪ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܚܕ ܕܚܕ |
20 Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
| ܘܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܢܫܪܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܐ ܗܘ ܐܠܐ ܒܝܫ ܗܘ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܒܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܐܟܠ |
21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
| ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܒܤܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܬܩܠ ܒܗ ܐܚܘܢ |
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
| ܐܢܬ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܒܢܦܫܟ ܐܚܘܕܝܗ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܕܢ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܦܪܫ |
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
| ܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܬܦܠܓ ܘܐܟܠ ܐܬܚܝܒ ܠܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܘ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܘ |
