Pāvilavēstulē Romiešiem 14
1 Pieņemiet to, kas ir vājš ticībā, viņa prātu nesajaukdami.
Him that is weak in the faith receive you, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 Jo cits tic, ka visu var ēst, bet kas ir vājš, tas ēd dārza augļus.
For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs.
3 Kas ēd, tas lai nenicina to, kas neēd; un kas neēd, tas lai netiesā to, kas ēd; jo Dievs viņu ir pieņēmis.
Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him which eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.
4 Kas tu tāds esi, ka tu cita kalpu tiesā? Viņš stāv, vai krīt savam paša Kungam; bet viņš taps pacelts, jo Dievs ir spēcīgs, viņu pacelt.
Who are you that judge another man’s servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yes, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 Dažs cienī vienu dienu vairāk nekā otru, bet dažs visas dienas cienī vienādi; ikviens par to lai pats savā prātā zinās.
One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 Kas kādu dienu cienī, tas to cienī Tam Kungam; un kas to dienu necienī, tas to necienī Tam Kungam. Kas ēd, tas ēd Tam Kungam, jo viņš pateicās Dievam; un kas neēd, tas neēd Tam Kungam, un pateicās Dievam.
He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks.
7 Jo neviens mūsu starpā nedzīvo sev pašam, un neviens nemirst sev pašam.
For none of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself.
8 Jo kad dzīvojam, tad dzīvojam Tam Kungam; kad mirstam, tad mirstam Tam Kungam. Tāpēc vai dzīvojam, vai mirstam, mēs piederam Tam Kungam.
For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
9 Jo tādēļ Kristus arī miris un augšāmcēlies un atkal dzīvs tapis, ka tas būtu Kungs pār mirušiem un dzīviem.
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 Bet tu, ko tu tiesā savu brāli? Jeb arī tu, ko tu nicini savu brāli? Jo mums visiem būs jāstājas priekš Kristus
But why do you judge your brother? or why do you set at nothing your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 Jo ir rakstīts: “Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs, Manā priekšā visi ceļi locīsies, un ikviena mēle teiks Dievu.”
For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 Tad nu ikviens no mums pats par sevi dos atbildēšanu Dievam.
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Tāpēc lai mēs cits citu vairs netiesājam, bet to tiesājiet jo vairāk, ka neviens savam brālim neliek piedauzīties, nedz tam dod apgrēcību.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
14 Es zinu un atzīstu tiešām iekš Tā Kunga Jēzus, ka neviena lieta no sevis nav nešķīsta; bet tam vien, kas to par nešķīstu tura, tam tā ir nešķīsta.
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Bet ja tavs brālis ēdiena dēļ noskumst, tad tu vairs nestaigā pēc mīlestības. Nesamaitā ar savu ēdienu to, par ko Kristus ir miris.
But if your brother be grieved with your meat, now walk you not charitably. Destroy not him with your meat, for whom Christ died.
16 Tad nu lai jūsu labums netop zaimots,
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17 Jo Dieva valstība nav ēdiens un dzēriens, bet taisnība un miers un prieks iekš Svētā Gara.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 Jo kas šinīs lietās Kristum kalpo, tas ir Dievam patīkams un cilvēkiem pieņēmīgs.
For he that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Tādēļ lai pēc tā dzenamies, kas der mieram un uztaisīšanai jūsu starpā.
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.
20 Neposti Dieva darbu ēdiena dēļ. Visas lietas gan ir šķīstas, bet tās ir nelabas tam cilvēkam, kas ēd un piedauzās.
For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.
21 Labāki ir, gaļas neēst un vīna nedzert, nekā to darīt, pie kā tavs brālis piedauzās, jeb apgrēcinājās, jeb (ticībā) top vājš.
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
22 Ja tev ir ticība, tad lai tā ir tev pašam Dieva priekšā. Svētīgs ir tas, kas sevi pašu netiesā iekš tā, ko viņš tura par labu.
Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he allows.
23 Bet kam ēdot prāts šaubās, tas ir pazudināts, jo tas nenāk no ticības; bet viss, kas nav no ticības, tas ir grēks.
And he that doubts is damned if he eat, because he eats not of faith: for whatever is not of faith is sin.
