Romerne 14
1 Men tager eder af den, som er skrøbelig i Troen, og dømmer ikke hans Meninger!
Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to [the] determining of questions of reasoning.
2 En har Tro til at spise alt; men den skrøbelige spiser kun Urter.
One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.
3 Den, som spiser, maa ikke ringeagte den, som ikke spiser; og den, som ikke spiser, maa ikke dømme den, som spiser; thi Gud har taget sig af ham.
Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.
4 Hvem er du, som dømmer en andens Tjener? For sin egen Herre staar eller falder han; men han skal blive staaende, thi Herren er mægtig til at lade ham staa.
Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 En agter den ene Dag fremfor den anden, en anden agter alle Dage lige; enhver have fuld Vished i sit eget Sind!
One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 Den, som lægger Vægt paa 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.
He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
7 Thi ingen af os lever for sig selv, og ingen dør for sig selv;
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8 thi naar vi leve, leve vi for Herren, og naar vi dø, dø vi for Herren; derfor, enten vi leve, eller vi dø, ere vi Herrens.
For both if we should live, [it is] to the Lord we live; and if we should die, [it is] to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.
9 Dertil er jo Kristus død og bleven levende, at han skal herske baade over døde og levende.
For to this [end] Christ has died and lived [again], that he might rule over both dead and living.
10 Men du, hvorfor dømmer du din Broder? eller du, hvorfor ringeagter du din Broder? Vi skulle jo alle fremstilles for Guds Domstol.
But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.
11 Thi der er skrevet: „Saa sandt jeg lever, siger Herren, for mig skal hvert Knæ bøje sig, og hver Tunge skal bekende Gud.‟
For it is written, I live, saith [the] Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 Altsaa skal hver af os gøre Gud Regnskab for sig selv.
So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.
13 Derfor, lader os ikke mere dømme hverandre, men dømmer hellere dette, at man ikke maa give sin Broder Anstød eller Forargelse.
Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.
14 Jeg ved og er vis paa i den Herre Jesus, at intet er urent i sig selv; dog, for den, som agter noget for urent, for ham er det urent.
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man [it is] unclean.
15 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.
For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.
16 Lader derfor ikke eders Gode blive bespottet!
Let not then your good be evil spoken of;
17 Thi Guds Rige bestaar ikke i at spise og drikke, men i Retfærdighed og Fred og Glæde i den Helligaand.
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.
18 Thi den, som deri tjener Kristus, er velbehagelig for Gud og tækkelig for Menneskene.
For he that in this serves the Christ [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
19 Derfor, lader os tragte efter det, som tjener til Fred og indbyrdes Opbyggelse!
So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.
20 Nedbryd ikke Guds Værk for Mads Skyld! Vel er alt rent, men det er ondt for det Menneske, som spiser med Anstød.
For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil to that man who eats while stumbling [in doing so].
21 Det er rigtigt ikke at spise Kød eller at drikke Vin eller at gøre noget, hvoraf din Broder tager Anstød.
[It is] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.
22 Den Tro, du har, hav den hos dig selv for Gud! Salig er den, som ikke dømmer sig selv i det, som han vælger.
Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.
23 Men den, som tvivler, naar han spiser, han er domfældt, fordi det ikke er af Tro; men alt det, som ikke er af Tro, er Synd.
But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because [it is] not of faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is sin.
