Romans 14

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Give a welcome to anyone whose faith is not strong, but do not get into arguments about doubtfulpoints.	1 ومن هو ضعيف في الايمان فاقبلوه لا لمحاكمة الافكار.
2 One person may have faith enough to eat any kind of food; another, less strong, wil eat onlyvegetables.	2 واحد يؤمن ان يأكل كل شيء واما الضعيف فيأكل بقولا.
3 Those who feel free to eat freely are not to condemn those who are unwil ing to eat freely; nor mustthe person who does not eat freely pass judgement on the one who does -- because God has welcomed him.	3 لا يزدر من يأكل بمن لا يأكل. ولا يدن من لا يأكل من يأكل. لان الله قبله.
4 And who are you, to sit in judgement over somebody else's servant? Whether he deserves to beupheld or to fall is for his own master to decide; and he shal be upheld, for the Lord has power to uphold him.	4 من انت الذي تدين عبد غيرك. هو لمولاه يثبت او يسقط. ولكنه سيثبت لان الله قادر ان يثبته.
5 One person thinks that some days are holier than others, and another thinks them al equal. Let eachof them be ful y convinced in his own mind.	5 واحد يعتبر يوما دون يوم وآخر يعتبر كل يوم. فليتيقن كل واحد في عقله.
6 The one who makes special observance of a particular day observes it in honour of the Lord. So theone who eats freely, eats in honour of the Lord, making his thanksgiving to God; and the one who does not,abstains from eating in honour of the Lord and makes his thanksgiving to God.	6 الذي 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.
7 For none of us lives for himself and none of us dies for himself;	7 لان ليس احد منا يعيش لذاته ولا احد يموت لذاته.
8 while we are alive, we are living for the Lord, and when we die, we die for the Lord: and so, alive ordead, we belong to the Lord.	8 لاننا ان عشنا فللرب نعيش وان متنا فللرب نموت. فان عشنا وان متنا فللرب نحن.
9 It was for this purpose that Christ both died and came to life again: so that he might be Lord of boththe dead and the living.	9 لانه لهذا مات المسيح وقام وعاش لكي يسود على الاحياء والاموات.
10 Why, then, does one of you make himself judge over his brother, and why does another among youdespise his brother? Al of us wil have to stand in front of the judgement-seat of God:	10 واما انت فلماذا تدين اخاك. او انت ايضا لماذا تزدري باخيك. لاننا جميعا سوف نقف امام كرسي المسيح.
11 as scripture says: By my own life says the Lord, every knee shal bow before me, every tongue shalgive glory to God.	11 لانه مكتوب انا حيّ يقول الرب انه لي ستجثو كل ركبة وكل لسان سيحمد الله.
12 It is to God, then, that each of us will have to give an account of himself.	12 فاذا كل واحد منا سيعطي عن نفسه حسابا لله.
13 Let us each stop passing judgement, therefore, on one another and decide instead that none of uswil place obstacles in any brother's way, or anything that can bring him down.	13 فلا نحاكم ايضا بعضنا بعضا بل بالحري احكموا بهذا ان لا يوضع للاخ مصدمة او معثرة.
14 I am sure, and quite convinced in the Lord Jesus, that no food is unclean in itself; it is only ifsomeone classifies any kind of food as unclean, then for him it is unclean.	14 اني عالم ومتيقن في الرب يسوع ان ليس شيء نجسا بذاته الا من يحسب شيئا نجسا فله هو نجس.
15 And indeed, if through any kind of food you are causing offence to a brother, then you are no longerbeing guided by love. You are not to let the food that you eat cause the ruin of anyone for whom Christ died.	15 فان كان اخوك بسبب طعامك يحزن فلست تسلك بعد حسب المحبة. لا تهلك بطعامك ذلك الذي مات المسيح لاجله.
16 A privilege of yours must not be allowed to give rise to harmful talk;	16 فلا يفتر على صلاحكم.
17 for it is not eating and drinking that make the kingdom of God, but the saving justice, the peace andthe joy brought by the Holy Spirit.	17 لان ليس ملكوت الله اكلا وشربا. بل هو بر وسلام وفرح في الروح القدس.
18 It is the person who serves Christ in these things that wil be approved by God and respected byeveryone.	18 لان من خدم المسيح في هذه فهو مرضي عند الله ومزكى عند الناس.
19 So then, let us be always seeking the ways which lead to peace and the ways in which we cansupport one another.	19 فلنعكف اذا على ما هو للسلام وما هو للبنيان بعضنا لبعض.
20 Do not wreck God's work for the sake of food. Certainly al foods are clean; but al the same, anykind can be evil for someone to whom it is an offence to eat it.	20 لا تنقض لاجل الطعام عمل الله. كل الاشياء طاهرة لكنه شر للانسان الذي يأكل بعثرة.
21 It is best to abstain from eating any meat, or drinking any wine, or from any other activity whichmight cause a brother to fall away, or to be scandalised, or to weaken.	21 حسن ان لا تأكل لحما ولا تشرب خمرا ولا شيئا يصطدم به اخوك او يعثر او يضعف.
22 Within yourself, before God, hold on to what you already believe. Blessed is the person whoseprinciples do not condemn his practice.	22 ألك ايمان. فليكن لك بنفسك امام الله. طوبى لمن لا يدين نفسه في ما يستحسنه.
23 But anyone who eats with qualms of conscience is condemned, because this eating does not spring from faith -- and every action which does not spring from faith is sin.	23 واما الذي يرتاب فان اكل يدان لان ذلك ليس من الايمان. وكل ما ليس من الايمان فهو خطية
