Romans 14
1 Accept those who are still struggling to trust in God, and don't get into arguments over personal opinions.
RECIBID al flaco en la fé, [y] no para contiendas de disputas.
2 One person may believe they can eat anything, while another whose trust is weak only eats vegetables.
Porque uno cree que se ha de comer de todas cosas: otro [que es] débil, come legumbres.
3 Those who eat anything must not look down on those who won't, and those who won't eat must not criticize those who do—for God has accepted them both.
El que come, no menosprecie al que no come: y el que no come, no juzgue al que come; porque Dios le ha levantado.
4 What right do you have to judge someone else's servant? It's their own master who decides whether they are right or wrong. With the Lord's help they will be able to take their stand for right.
¿Tú, quién eres, que juzgas el siervo ajeno? para su señor está en pié, ó cae: mas se afirmará, que poderoso es el Señor para afirmarle.
5 Some people consider some days more important than others, while others consider each day the same. Everyone should be completely convinced in their own minds.
Uno hace diferencia entre dia y dia; otro juzga [iguales] todos los dias. Cada uno esté asegurado en su ánimo.
6 Those who respect a special day do so for the Lord; and those who eat without worrying do so for the Lord since they give thanks to God; while those who avoid eating certain things do so for the Lord, and they also give thanks to God.
El que hace caso del dia, háce[lo] para el Señor; y el que no hace caso del dia, no lo hace [asimismo] para el Señor. El que come, come para el Señor, porque da gracias á Dios: y el que no come, no come para el Señor, y da gracias á Dios.
7 None of us live for ourselves, or die for ourselves.
Porque ninguno de nosotros vive para sí; y ninguno muere para sí.
8 If we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord—so whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Que si vivimos, para el Señor vivimos; y si morimos, para el Señor morimos. Así que, ó que vivamos, ó que muramos, del Señor somos.
9 This was the reason Christ died and came back to life—so that he could be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Porque Cristo para esto murió, y resucitó, y volvió á vivir, para ser Señor así de los muertos como de los que viven.
10 So why do you criticize your fellow-believer? Why do you despise your fellow-believer? For all of us will stand before God's throne of judgment.
Mas tú ¿por qué juzgas á tu hermano? O tú tambien ¿por qué menosprecias á tu hermano? porque todos hemos de estar ante el tribunal de Cristo.
11 For the Scriptures say, “‘As surely as I am alive,’ the Lord says, ‘Every knee shall bow before me, and every tongue will declare that I am God.’”
Porque escrito esta: Vivo yo, dice el Señor, que á mí se doblará toda rodilla, y toda lengua confesará á Dios.
12 So every one of us will have to explain ourselves to God.
De manera que cada uno de nosotros dará á Dios razon de sí.
13 Therefore let's not judge each other anymore, but decide to do this instead—we won't put obstacles in the way of fellow-believers, or cause them to fall.
Así que, no juzguemos más los unos de los otros; ántes bien juzgad de no poner tropiezo ó escándalo al hermano.
14 I'm certain—persuaded by the Lord Jesus—that nothing in itself is ceremonially unclean. But if someone considers it to be unclean, to them it is unclean.
Yo sé, y confio en el Señor Jesus que de suyo nada [hay] inmundo: mas á aquel que piensa alguna cosa ser inmunda, para él [es] inmunda.
15 If your fellow-believer is hurt by you over matters of food, then you're no longer behaving in a loving way. Don't destroy someone for whom Christ died by the food you choose to eat.
Empero si por causa de la comida tu hermano es contristado, ya no andas conforme á la caridad. No arruines con tu comida á aquel por el cual Cristo murió.
16 Don't let the good things you do be misrepresented—
No sea pues blasfemado vuestro bien:
17 for God's kingdom is not about eating and drinking, but about living right, having peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Que el reino de Dios no es comida ni bebida; sino justicia, y paz, y gozo por el Espíritu Santo.
18 Anyone who serves Christ in this way pleases God, and is appreciated by others.
Porque el que en esto sirve á Cristo, agrada á Dios, y [es] acepto á los hombres.
19 So let's pursue the path of peace, and find ways to encourage each other.
Así que, sigamos lo que hace á la paz, y á la edificacion de los unos á los otros.
20 Don't destroy the work of God with arguments over food. Everything is clean—but it would be wrong to eat and offend others.
No destruyas la obra de Dios por causa de la comida. Todas las cosas á la verdad [son] limpias: mas malo [es] al hombre que come con escándalo.
21 It's better not to eat meat or drink wine or anything else that would cause your fellow-believer to stumble.
Bueno [es] no comer carne, ni beber vino, ni [nada] en que tu hermano tropiece ó se ofenda, ó sea debilitado.
22 What you personally believe is between you and God. Happy are those who don't condemn themselves for doing what they think is right!
¿Tienes tu fé? Ténla para contigo delante de Dios. Bienaventurado el que no se condena á sí mismo con lo que aprueba.
23 But if you have doubts whether it's right or wrong to eat something, then you shouldn't, because you're not convinced it's right. Whatever isn't based on conviction is sin.
Mas el que hace diferencia, si comiere, es condenado, porque no [comió] por fé: y todo lo que no [procede] de fé, es pecado.
