Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye, —not for disputing opinions: —
Men tager eder af den, som er skrøbelig i Troen, og dømmer ikke hans Meninger!
2 One, indeed, hath faith to eat all things, whereas, he that is weak, eateth herbs:
En har Tro til at spise alt; men den skrøbelige spiser kun Urter.
3 Let not, him that eateth, despise him that eateth not, and let not, him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for, God, hath received him.
Den, som spiser, må ikke ringeagte den, som ikke spiser; og den, som ikke spiser, må ikke dømme den, som spiser; thi Gud har taget sig af ham.
4 Who art, thou, that judgest another’s domestic? To his own master, he standeth or falleth; he shall, however, be made to stand, —for his master is able to make him stand.
Hvem er du, som dømmer en andens Tjener? For sin egen Herre står eller falder han; men han skal blive stående, thi Herren er mægtig til at lade ham stå.
5 [For], one, indeed esteemeth one day beyond another, whereas, another, esteemeth every day: —let, each one, in his own mind be fully persuaded.
En agter den ene Dag fremfor den anden, en anden agter alle dage lige; enhver have fuld Vished i sit eget Sind!
6 He that regardeth the day, unto the Lord, regardeth it, —and, he that eateth, unto the Lord, doth eat, for he giveth thanks unto God; and, he that eateth not, unto the Lord, doth not eat and give God thanks.
Den, som lægger Vægt på Dagen, han gør det for Herren. Og den, som spiser, gør det for Herren, thi han takker Gud; og den, som ikke spiser, gør det for Herren og takker Gud.
7 For, none of us, unto himself liveth, and, none, unto himself dieth;
Thi ingen af os lever for sig selv, og ingen dør for sig selv;
8 For both, if we live, unto the Lord, we live, and, if we die, unto the Lord, we die; whether therefore we live, the Lord’s, we are; or whether we die, the Lord’s, we are;
thi når vi leve, leve vi for Herren, og når vi dø, dø vi for Herren; derfor, enten vi leve, eller vi dø, ere vi Herrens.
9 For, to this end, Christ died and lived, in order that, both of dead and living, he might have lordship.
Dertil er jo Kristus død og bleven levende, at han skal herske både over døde og levende.
10 But, thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto the judgment seat of God;
Men du, hvorfor dømmer du din Broder? eller du, hvorfor ringeagter du din Broder? Vi skulle jo alle fremstilles for Guds Domstol.
11 For it is written—Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto God.
Thi der er skrevet: "Så sandt jeg lever, siger Herren, for mig skal hvert Knæ bøje sig, og hver Tunge skal bekende Gud."
12 Hence, [then], each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.
Altså skal hver af os gøre Gud Regnskab for sig selv.
13 No longer, then, upon one another, let us be sitting in judgment, but, this, judge ye rather—not to be putting a cause of stumbling before your brother or an occasion to fall.
Derfor, lader os ikke mere dømme hverandre, men dømmer hellere dette, at man ikke må give sin Broder Anstød eller Forargelse.
14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus—that, nothing, is profane of itself, —save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, [it is] profane,
Jeg ved og er vis på i den Herre Jesus, at intet er urent i sig selv; dog, for den, som agter noget for urent, for ham er det urent.
15 If, in fact, because of food, thy brother is being grieved, no longer, by the rule of love, art thou walking: —do not, by thy food, that man, be destroying, on whose behalf Christ died!
Thi dersom din Broder bedrøves for Mads Skyld, da vandrer du ikke mere i Kærlighed. Led ikke ved din Mad den i Fordærvelse, for hvis Skyld Kristus er død.
16 Therefore, suffer not to be defamed, your own good thing;
Lader derfor ikke eders Gode blive bespottet!
17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit;
Thi Guds Rige består ikke i at spise og drikke, men i Retfærdighed og Fred og Glæde i den Helligånd.
18 For, he that in this doeth service unto the Christ, is acceptable unto God, and approved unto men.
Thi den, som deri tjener Kristus, er velbehagelig for Gud og tækkelig for Menneskene.
19 Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another:
Derfor, lader os tragte efter det, som tjener til Fred og indbyrdes Opbyggelse!
20 Do not, for the sake of food, be throwing down the work of God! All things, indeed, are pure; but, ill, is it for the man who with occasion of stumbling doth eat, —
Nedbryd ikke Guds Værk for Mads Skyld! Vel er alt rent, men det er ondt for det Menneske, som spiser med Anstød.
21 Well, is it not to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor [to do aught] whereby thy brother is caused to stumble.
Det er rigtigt ikke at spise Kød eller at drikke Vin eller at gøre noget, hvoraf din Broder tager Anstød.
22 The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth;
Den Tro, du har, hav den hos dig selv for Gud! Salig er den, som ikke dømmer sig selv i det, som han vælger.
23 But, he that is in doubt, if he eat, hath condemned himself, —because, [it was] not of faith, and, everything which is not of faith, is sin.
Men den, som tvivler, når han spiser, han er domfældt, fordi det ikke er at Tro; men alt det, som ikke er af Tro, er Synd.
