1ومن هو ضعيف في الايمان فاقبلوه لا لمحاكمة الافكار.
1And him who is weak in the faith receive ye — not to determinations of reasonings;
2واحد يؤمن ان يأكل كل شيء واما الضعيف فيأكل بقولا.
2one doth believe that he may eat all things — and he who is weak doth eat herbs;
3لا يزدر من يأكل بمن لا يأكل. ولا يدن من لا يأكل من يأكل. لان الله قبله.
3let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.
4من انت الذي تدين عبد غيرك. هو لمولاه يثبت او يسقط. ولكنه سيثبت لان الله قادر ان يثبته.
4Thou — who art thou that art judging another`s domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
5واحد يعتبر يوما دون يوم وآخر يعتبر كل يوم. فليتيقن كل واحد في عقله.
5One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day [alike]; let each in his own mind be fully assured.
6الذي يهتم باليوم فللرب يهتم. والذي لا يهتم باليوم فللرب لا يهتم. والذي يأكل فللرب يأكل لانه يشكر الله. والذي لا يأكل فللرب لا يأكل ويشكر الله.
6He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard [it], and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.
7لان ليس احد منا يعيش لذاته ولا احد يموت لذاته.
7For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;
8لاننا ان عشنا فللرب نعيش وان متنا فللرب نموت. فان عشنا وان متنا فللرب نحن.
8for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord`s;
9لانه لهذا مات المسيح وقام وعاش لكي يسود على الاحياء والاموات.
9for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.
10واما انت فلماذا تدين اخاك. او انت ايضا لماذا تزدري باخيك. لاننا جميعا سوف نقف امام كرسي المسيح.
10And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;
11لانه مكتوب انا حيّ يقول الرب انه لي ستجثو كل ركبة وكل لسان سيحمد الله.
11for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord — to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;`
12فاذا كل واحد منا سيعطي عن نفسه حسابا لله.
12so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;
13فلا نحاكم ايضا بعضنا بعضا بل بالحري احكموا بهذا ان لا يوضع للاخ مصدمة او معثرة.
13no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.
14اني عالم ومتيقن في الرب يسوع ان ليس شيء نجسا بذاته الا من يحسب شيئا نجسا فله هو نجس.
14I 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;
15فان كان اخوك بسبب طعامك يحزن فلست تسلك بعد حسب المحبة. لا تهلك بطعامك ذلك الذي مات المسيح لاجله.
15and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.
16فلا يفتر على صلاحكم.
16Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,
17لان ليس ملكوت الله اكلا وشربا. بل هو بر وسلام وفرح في الروح القدس.
17for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
18لان من خدم المسيح في هذه فهو مرضي عند الله ومزكى عند الناس.
18for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
19فلنعكف اذا على ما هو للسلام وما هو للبنيان بعضنا لبعض.
19So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;
20لا تنقض لاجل الطعام عمل الله. كل الاشياء طاهرة لكنه شر للانسان الذي يأكل بعثرة.
20for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling.
21حسن ان لا تأكل لحما ولا تشرب خمرا ولا شيئا يصطدم به اخوك او يعثر او يضعف.
21Right [it is] not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to [do anything] in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.
22ألك ايمان. فليكن لك بنفسك امام الله. طوبى لمن لا يدين نفسه في ما يستحسنه.
22Thou hast faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,
23واما الذي يرتاب فان اكل يدان لان ذلك ليس من الايمان. وكل ما ليس من الايمان فهو خطية
23and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.
