Rimljanima 14
1 Slaboga u vjeri prigrlite, ali ne da se prepirete o mišljenjima.
Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
2 Netko vjeruje da smije sve jesti, slabi opet jede samo povrće.
One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak 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.
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.
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 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.
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 as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured 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. 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.
7 Jer nitko od nas sebi ne živi, nitko sebi ne umire.
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8 Doista, ako živimo, Gospodinu živimo, i ako umiremo, Gospodinu umiremo. Živimo li dakle ili umiremo - Gospodinovi smo.
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.
9 Ta Krist zato umrije i oživje da gospodar bude i mrtvima i živima.
For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the 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? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For 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, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
12 Svaki će dakle od nas za sebe Bogu dati račun.
So then each one of us will give 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’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.
14 Znam i uvjeren sam u Gospodinu: ništa samo od sebe nije nečisto. Samo je onomu nečisto tko to smatra nečistim.
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.
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!
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.
16 Nemojte da se pogrđuje vaše dobro!
Then don’t let your good be slandered,
17 Ta kraljevstvo Božje nije jelo ili piće, nego pravednost, mir i radost u Duhu Svetome.
for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 Da, tko tako Kristu služi, mio je Bogu i cijene ga ljudi.
For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 Nastojmo stoga promicati mir i uzajamno izgrađivanje!
So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
20 Ne razaraj djela Božjega poradi hrane! Sve je, istina, čisto, ali je zlo za onoga tko na sablazan jede.
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.
21 Dobro je ne jesti mesa i ne piti vina i ne uzimati ništa o što se tvoj brat spotiče.
It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
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 to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which 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 doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
