Erromatarrei 14
1 Eta fedez infirmo dena recebi eçaçue, baina ez disputationez iharduquitera.
As for those whose faith is weak, always receive them as friends, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on their scruples.
2 Batac sinhesten du gauça gucietaric ian ahal deçaquela: eta berce infirmo denac belhar iaten du.
One person’s faith permits them to eat food of all kinds, while another whose faith is weak eats only vegetable food.
3 Iaten duenac, iaten eztuena ezteçan menosprecia: eta iaten eztuenac, iaten duena ezteçan iudica. Ecen Iaincoac hura bere recebitu vkan du.
The person who eats meat must not despise the person who abstains from it; nor must the person who abstains from eating meat pass judgment on the one who eats it, for God himself has received them.
4 Hi nor aiz berceren cerbitzaria iudicatzen duana? bere Iaunari fermu egoiten edo erorten ciayóc: baina fermaturen dic: ecen botheretsu duc Iaincoa haren fermatzeco.
Who are you, that you should pass judgment on the servant of another? Their standing or falling concerns their own master. And stand they will, for their Master can enable them to stand.
5 Batac estimatzen du egun bata bercea bainoago, eta berceac estimatzen du bardin cein egun nahi den: batbedera biz segur bere conscientián.
Again, one person considers some days to be more sacred than others, while another considers all days to be alike. Everyone ought to be fully convinced in their own mind.
6 Egunera behatzen duenac, Iaunagana behatzen du: eta egunera behatzen eztuenac, Iaunagana eztu behatzen. Iaten duenac, Iaunari iaten du: ecen regratiatzen du Iaincoa: eta iaten eztuenac, Iaunari eztu iaten, eta regratiatzen du Iaincoa.
The person who observes a day, observes it to the Master’s honor. They, again, who eat meat eat it to the Master’s honor, for they give thanks to God; while the person who abstains from it abstains from it to the Master’s honor, and also gives thanks to God.
7 Ecen ezta gutaric nehor bere buruäri vici, eta ezta nehor bere buruäri hiltzen.
There is not one of us whose life concerns ourselves alone, and not one of us whose death concerns ourself alone;
8 Ecen edo dela vici garén, Iaunari vici gara: edo dela hiltzen garén, Iaunari hiltzen gara. Beraz nahi bada vici garén, nahi bada hiltzen garén, Iaunaren gara
for, if we live, our life is for the Master, and, if we die, our death is for the Master. Whether, then, we live or die we belong to the Master.
9 Ecen hunetacotzát Christ hil, eta resuscitatu, eta vicitara itzuli içan da, hambat hilén nola vicién gainean dominatione duençát.
The purpose for which Christ died and came back to life was this – that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living.
10 Baina hic cergatic iudicatzen duc eure anayea? edo hic-ere cergatic menospreciatzen duc eure anayea? Ecen guciac comparituren gara Christen iudicioco throno aitzinean.
I would ask the one ‘Why do you judge other followers of the Lord?’ And I would ask the other ‘Why do you despise them?’ For we will all stand before the court of God.
11 Ecen scribatua da, Vici naiz ni, dio Iaunac, ecen niri gurthuren çait belhaun gucia: eta mihi oroc laudorio emanen drauca Iaincoari.
For scripture says – ‘“As surely as I live,” says the Lord, “every knee will bend before me and every tongue will praise God.”’
12 Bada segur gutaric batbederac bere buruaz contu rendaturen drauca Iaincoari.
So, then, each one of us will have to render account of himself to God.
13 Ezteçagula beraz guehiagoric elkar iudica, bainaitzitic hunetan iugemenduz vsat eçaçue, behaztopagarriric batre edo trebucagarriric çuen anayeri eçar ezteçoçuen.
Let us, then, cease to judge one another. Rather let this be your resolve – never to place a stumbling-block or an obstacle in the way of a fellow follower of the Lord.
14 Badaquit, eta segur naiz Iesus Iaunaren partez, eztela deus satsuric bere berez: salbu, cerbait satsu dela estimatzen duenaren, hura harendaco satsu baita.
Through my union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am persuaded that nothing is defiling in itself. A thing is ‘defiling’ only to the person who holds it to be so.
15 Baina baldin viandagatic hire anayea tristetzen bada, ezabila ia charitatearen araura: ezteçála eure viandagatic hura gal, ceinagatic Christ hil içan baita.
If, for the sake of what you eat, you wound your fellow follower’s feelings, your life has ceased to be ruled by love. Do not, by what you eat, ruin someone for whom Christ died!
16 Eztadila beraz çuen vnguia gaitz erran.
Do not let what is right for you become a matter of reproach.
17 Ecen Iaincoaren resumá ezta ianhari ez edari: baina iustitia eta baque eta bozcario Spiritu sainduaz.
For the kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and gladness through the presence of the Holy Spirit.
18 Ecen gauça hautan Christ cerbitzatzen duena, Iaincoaren gogaraco da, eta laudatua da guiçonéz.
The person who serves the Christ in this way pleases God, and wins the approval of their fellows.
19 Iarreiqui gaquiztén beraz baqueari dagozcan gaucey, eta elkarren edificationetaco diradeney.
Therefore our efforts should be directed towards all that makes for peace and the mutual building up of character.
20 Ezteçála hic viandaren causaz Iaunaren obra deseguin: eguia duc gauça guciac chahu diradela, baina gaizquia duc scandalorequin iaten duen guiçonaren.
Do not undo God’s work for the sake of what you eat. Though everything is ‘clean,’ yet, if a person eats so as to put a stumbling-block in the way of others, they do wrong.
21 On duc haraguiric ez iatea, eta mahatsarnoric ez edatea, eta hire anaye behaztopatzen edo scandalizatzen, edo infirmo eguiten den gauçaren ez eguitea.
The right course is to abstain from meat or wine or, indeed, anything that is a stumbling-block to your fellow follower of the Lord.
22 Hic fede duc? auc euror baithan Iaincoaren aitzinean. Dohatsu da bere buruä iudicatzen eztuena laudatzen duen gauçän.
As for yourself – keep this conviction of yours to yourself, as in the presence of God. Happy the person who never has to condemn themselves in regard to something they think right!
23 Baina scrupulo eguiten duena, baldin ian badeça, iudicatua da: ecen eztu fedez iaten: eta fedetic eztén gucia bekatu da.
The person, however, who has misgivings stands condemned if they still eat, because their doing so is not the result of faith. And anything not done as the result of faith is a sin.
