Pāvilavēstulē Romiešiem 14
1 Pieņemiet to, kas ir vājš ticībā, viņa prātu nesajaukdami.
And receive him who is weak in the faith—not to determinations of reasonings;
2 Jo cits tic, ka visu var ēst, bet kas ir vājš, tas ēd dārza augļus.
one believes that he may eat all things—and he 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.
do not let him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and do not let him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God 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.
You—who are you that are judging another’s domestic [affairs]? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will be made to stand, 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 judges one day above another, and another judges every day [alike]; let each be fully assured 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 who is regarding the day, he regards [it] to the LORD, and he who is not regarding the day, he does not regard [it] to the LORD. He who is eating, he eats to the LORD, for he gives thanks to God; and he who is not eating, he does not eat to the LORD, and gives thanks to God.
7 Jo neviens mūsu starpā nedzīvo sev pašam, un neviens nemirst sev pašam.
For none of us lives to himself, and none 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 both, if we may live, we live to the LORD; if also we may die, we die to the LORD; both then if we may live, also if we may 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 because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that He may be Lord both of dead and of living.
10 Bet tu, ko tu tiesā savu brāli? Jeb arī tu, ko tu nicini savu brāli? Jo mums visiem būs jāstājas priekš Kristus
And you, why do you judge your brother? Or again, you, why do you set at nothing your brother? For we will all stand at the judgment seat of the Christ;
11 Jo ir rakstīts: “Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs, Manā priekšā visi ceļi locīsies, un ikviena mēle teiks Dievu.”
for it has been written: “I live! Says the LORD—Every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will confess to God”;
12 Tad nu ikviens no mums pats par sevi dos atbildēšanu Dievam.
so, then, each of us will give reckoning to God concerning himself;
13 Tāpēc lai mēs cits citu vairs netiesājam, bet to tiesājiet jo vairāk, ka neviens savam brālim neliek piedauzīties, nedz tam dod apgrēcību.
therefore, may we judge one another no longer, but rather judge this, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offense.
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 have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean—to that one [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.
and if your brother is grieved through food, you no longer walk according to love; do not destroy with your food that one for whom Christ died.
16 Tad nu lai jūsu labums netop zaimots,
Do not let, then, evil be spoken of your good,
17 Jo Dieva valstība nav ēdiens un dzēriens, bet taisnība un miers un prieks iekš Svētā Gara.
for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
18 Jo kas šinīs lietās Kristum kalpo, tas ir Dievam patīkams un cilvēkiem pieņēmīgs.
for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
19 Tādēļ lai pēc tā dzenamies, kas der mieram un uztaisīšanai jūsu starpā.
So, then, may we pursue the things of peace, and the things of building up one another.
20 Neposti Dieva darbu ēdiena dēļ. Visas lietas gan ir šķīstas, bet tās ir nelabas tam cilvēkam, kas ēd un piedauzās.
Do not cast down the work of God for the sake of food; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling.
21 Labāki ir, gaļas neēst un vīna nedzert, nekā to darīt, pie kā tavs brālis piedauzās, jeb apgrēcinājās, jeb (ticībā) top vājš.
[It is] not right to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to [do anything] in which your brother stumbles, or is made to fall, or is 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.
You have faith! Have [it] to yourself before God; blessed is he who is not judging himself in what he approves,
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 who is making a difference, if he may eat, has been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.
