Rimljanom 14

1 A slabega v veri sprejemljite ne na razločevanje misli,

And him who is weak in the faith receive ye — not to determinations of reasonings;

2 Kajti eden veruje, da sme vse jesti, a kdor je slab, sočivo jé.

one doth believe that he may eat all things — and he who is weak doth eat herbs;

3 Kdor jé, naj ne zaničuje tistega, kteri ne jé, in kdor ne jé, naj ne sodi tistega, kteri jé, kajti Bog ga je sprejel.

let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.

4 Ti kdo si, kteri sodiš tujega hlapca? Lastnemu gospodarju stoji ali pada, ali vstal bo, kajti mogoč je Bog postaviti ga.

Thou — who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

5 Eden razloča dan od dneva, a drugi sodi, da so vsi dnevi enaki. Vsak naj se v lastnem razumu popolno prepriča.

One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day [alike]; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

6 Kdor razloča dan, Gospodu razloča, in kdor ne razloča dneva, Gospodu ne razloča; kdor jé, Gospodu jé, ker se Bogu zahvaljuje, in kdor ne jé, Gospodu ne jé in se zahvaljuje Bogu.

He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard [it], and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.

7 Kajti nikdor nas sebi ne živi in nikdor sebi ne umira.

For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;

8 Kajti če živimo, Gospodu živimo, in če mrjemo, Gospodu mrjemo; če torej živimo, če mrjemo, Gospodovi smo.

for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's;

9 Kajti za to je Kristus umrl in vstal in zopet oživel, da gospoduje nad mrtvimi in živimi.

for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

10 Ti pa za kaj sodiš brata svojega? ali tudi ti, za kaj zaničuješ brata svojega? ker vsi se bomo postavili pred sodišče Kristusovo.

And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;

11 Kajti pisano je: "Živim jaz, govori Gospod, da se bo meni pripognilo vsako koleno, in vsak jezik bo Boga spoznaval."

for it hath been written, 'I live! saith the Lord — to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'

12 Tako bo torej vsak nas za se odgovor dajal Bogu.

so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;

13 Nič več torej eden drugega ne sodimo, nego presodite bolje, da ne stavite spotike bratu ali pohujšanja.

no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.

14 Vem in prepričan sem v Gospodu Jezusu, da nič ni nečisto po sebi, razen kdor misli, da je kaj nečisto, za njega je nečisto.

I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean — to that one [it is] unclean;

15 Če se pa za voljo jedi tvoj brat žalosti, nič več ne hodiš po ljubezni. Ne pogubljaj s svojo jedjo tistega, za kterega je Kristus umrl.

and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.

16 Ne dajte torej, da se preklinja vaše dobro.

Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,

17 Kajti Božje kraljestvo ni jed ne pijača, nego pravica in mir in radost v Duhu svetem.

for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;

18 Ker kdor v tem služi Kristusu, ugoden je Bogu in izkušen ljudem.

for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.

19 Za to se torej poganjajmo za mir in za zbujanje eden drugega na pobožnost.

So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;

20 Za voljo jedi ne razdiraj dela Božjega; vse je sicer čisto, ali hudo za človeka, kteri jé na spotiko.

for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling.

21 Dobro je, ne jesti mesa in ne piti vina ne ničesar, nad čimer bi se brat tvoj spotikal ali pohujševal ali slabil.

Right [it is] not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to [do anything] in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.

22 Ti imaš vero? sam za se jo imej pred Bogom; blagor mu, kdor ne sodi samega sebe v tem, kar ima za dobro.

Thou hast faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

23 Kdor pa razloča, obsojen je, če je, kajti ni po veri; a vse, kar ni po veri, greh je.

and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.
