Romans 14
1 Receive anyone who is weak in faith, without giving judgment about arguments.
Men tager eder af den, som er skrøbelig i Troen, og dømmer ikke hans Meninger!
2 One person has faith to eat anything, another who is weak eats only vegetables.
En har Tro til at spise alt; men den skrøbelige spiser kun Urter.
3 May the one who eats everything not despise the one who does not; and may the one who does not eat everything not judge the other who eats everything. For God has accepted 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 are you, you who judge a servant belonging to someone else? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. But he will be made to stand, for the Lord 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 One person values one day above another. Another values every day equally. Let each person be convinced in his own mind.
En agter den ene Dag fremfor den anden, en anden agter alle dage lige; enhver have fuld Vished i sit eget Sind!
6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord; and he who eats, eats for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God. He who does not eat, refrains from eating for the Lord, he also gives thanks to God.
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 lives for himself, and none dies for himself.
Thi ingen af os lever for sig selv, og ingen dør for sig selv;
8 For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Then whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
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 purpose Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and those who are living.
Dertil er jo Kristus død og bleven levende, at han skal herske både over døde og levende.
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? And you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before 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, “As I live,” says the Lord, “to me every knee will bend, and every tongue will give praise to 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 So then, each one of us will give an account of himself to God.
Altså skal hver af os gøre Gud Regnskab for sig selv.
13 Therefore, let us no longer judge one another, but instead decide this, that no one will place a stumbling block or a snare for his brother.
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 unclean by itself. Only for him who considers anything to be unclean, for him it is unclean.
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 because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food one for whom 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 So do not allow what you consider to be good to be spoken of as evil.
Lader derfor ikke eders Gode blive bespottet!
17 For the kingdom of God is not about food and drink, but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thi Guds Rige består ikke i at spise og drikke, men i Retfærdighed og Fred og Glæde i den Helligånd.
18 For the one who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by people.
Thi den, som deri tjener Kristus, er velbehagelig for Gud og tækkelig for Menneskene.
19 So then, let us pursue the things of peace and the things that build up one another.
Derfor, lader os tragte efter det, som tjener til Fred og indbyrdes Opbyggelse!
20 Do not destroy the work of God because of food. All things are indeed clean, but it is evil for that person who eats and causes him to stumble.
Nedbryd ikke Guds Værk for Mads Skyld! Vel er alt rent, men det er ondt for det Menneske, som spiser med Anstød.
21 It is good not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother takes offense.
Det er rigtigt ikke at spise Kød eller at drikke Vin eller at gøre noget, hvoraf din Broder tager Anstød.
22 The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
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 He who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not from faith. And whatever is not from 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.
