Rimljanima 14
1 Slaboga u vjeri prigrlite, ali ne da se prepirete o mišljenjima.
Receive someone who is weak in the faith, but not for disputes over arguables.
2 Netko vjeruje da smije sve jesti, slabi opet jede samo povrće.
One man has faith to eat everything, while the weak one eats only vegetables.
3 Tko jede, neka ne prezire onoga tko ne jede; tko pak ne jede, neka ne sudi onoga tko jede. Ta Bog ga je prigrlio.
One who eats must not look down on one who does not, and one who does not eat must not judge one who does, because God has accepted him.
4 Tko si ti da sudiš tuđega slugu? Svojemu Gospodaru i stoji i pada! A stajat će jer moćan je Gospodin da ga podrži.
Who are you to judge someone else's household servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And stand he will, for God has the power to make him stand.
5 Netko razlikuje dan od dana, nekomu je opet svaki dan jednak. Samo nek je svatko posve uvjeren u svoje mišljenje.
One man esteems one day above another; another esteems everyday alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 Tko na dan misli, poradi Gospodina misli; i tko jede, poradi Gospodina jede: zahvaljuje Bogu. I tko ne jede, poradi Gospodina ne jede i - zahvaljuje Bogu.
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. And he who eats, eats to the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, also giving thanks to God.
7 Jer nitko od nas sebi ne živi, nitko sebi ne umire.
You see, none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.
8 Doista, ako živimo, Gospodinu živimo, i ako umiremo, Gospodinu umiremo. Živimo li dakle ili umiremo - Gospodinovi smo.
Because if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.
9 Ta Krist zato umrije i oživje da gospodar bude i mrtvima i živima.
For this very reason Christ both died and rose, and lived, so as to rule both dead and living.
10 A ti, što sudiš brata svoga? Ili ti, što prezireš brata svoga? Ta svi ćemo stati pred sudište Božje.
But you, why do you judge your brother? And you too, why do you look down on your brother? Because we will all stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ.
11 Jer pisano je: Života mi moga, govori Gospodin, prignut će se preda mnom svako koljeno i svaki će jezik priznati Boga.
For it is written: “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall acknowledge God.’”
12 Svaki će dakle od nas za sebe Bogu dati račun.
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Dakle, ne sudimo više jedan drugoga, nego radije sudite o tome da ne valja postavljati bratu stupice ili spoticala.
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another, but rather resolve this: not to put a stumbling block or pitfall in a brother's way.
14 Znam i uvjeren sam u Gospodinu: ništa samo od sebe nije nečisto. Samo je onomu nečisto tko to smatra nečistim.
I know and have been convinced by Sovereign Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself (still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean),
15 Doista, ako je poradi hrane tvoj brat ražalošćen, već nisi na putu ljubavi. Ne upropašćuj tom svojom hranom onoga za koga je Krist umro!
but if your brother is offended because of food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not, with your food, ruin someone for whom Christ died.
16 Nemojte da se pogrđuje vaše dobro!
So do not let your good be slandered;
17 Ta kraljevstvo Božje nije jelo ili piće, nego pravednost, mir i radost u Duhu Svetome.
because the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit.
18 Da, tko tako Kristu služi, mio je Bogu i cijene ga ljudi.
For whoever serves the Christ in these things is satisfying to God and approved by men.
19 Nastojmo stoga promicati mir i uzajamno izgrađivanje!
So then, let us pursue the things that promote peace and the things by which one may edify another.
20 Ne razaraj djela Božjega poradi hrane! Sve je, istina, čisto, ali je zlo za onoga tko na sablazan jede.
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are ‘clean’; however it is wrong for the man who gives offence by eating.
21 Dobro je ne jesti mesa i ne piti vina i ne uzimati ništa o što se tvoj brat spotiče.
It is good not to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weakened.
22 Ti imaš uvjerenje. Za sebe ga imaj pred Bogom. Blago onomu tko samoga sebe ne osuđuje u onom na što se odlučuje!
Do you have faith? Have it privately before God. Happy is he who does not judge himself in what he approves.
23 Jede li tko dvoumeći, osudio se jer ne radi iz uvjerenja. A sve što nije iz uvjerenja, grijeh je.
But he who eats with doubt stands condemned, because it is not from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
