אגרת פולוס השליח אל-הרומיים 14
Habrit Hakhadasha/Haderekh
יד קבלו את האדם שאמונתו חלשה משלכם בשמחה וחמימות, ואל תמתחו ביקורת על דעותיו והשקפותיו. 2 זה מאמין שמותר לו לאכול כל דבר, ואילו זה שאמונתו חלשה הוא צמחוני.
3 מי שאוכל בשר אינו צריך לבוז למי שאינו אוכל אותו, ומי שאינו אוכל אינו צריך לבוז למי שאוכל, כי אלוהים אוהב את כולנו במידה שווה! 4 מי אתה שתמתח ביקורת על משרתו של אלוהים? המאמין המשיחי הוא משרתו של אלוהים, ורק לו הוא חייב דין וחשבון. הנח לאלוהים לומר למאמין אם הוא נוהג כשורה או לא, ואם יש צורך, אלוהים בהחלט יכול לתקן את דרכו.
5 יש אדם המכבד יום מסוים יותר מימים אחרים, ויש המכבד את כל הימים במידה שווה. כל אדם צריך להיות משוכנע במה שהוא מאמין. 6 כשם שאדם המעדיף לקדש לה' יום מסוים בשבוע עושה זאת לכבוד האדון, כך גם האוכל אוכל לכבוד ה', כי הוא מודה לאלוהים. מי שאינו אוכל – לכבוד ה' אינו אוכל, וגם הוא מודה לאלוהים. 7 אין אנו אדונים לעצמנו, ואיננו חיים לעצמנו או מתים לפי בחירתנו. 8 אם אנו חיים – אנו חיים לאדון, ואם אנו מתים – אנו מתים לאדון; בחיינו ובמותנו אנו שייכים לאדון. 9 ישוע המשיח מת וקם לתחייה כדי שיהיה אדון על החיים ועל המוות.
10 אין לך זכות לשפוט את מעשי אחיך או לבוז לו. זכור, יום אחד כולנו עתידים להישפט לפני אלוהים – לא לפי קנה-המידה שלנו, אלא לפני קנה-המידה שלו. 11 כפי שכתוב[a]: "בי נשבעתי ... כי לי תכרע כל ברך ותשבע כל לשון". 12 כל אחד מאיתנו ימסור דין וחשבון על מעשיו לאלוהים בלבד. 13 לכן הבה נחדל למתוח ביקורת איש על אחיו. לעומת זאת, נבקר את עצמנו ונדאג שלא נכשיל את אחינו במעשינו.
14 אני משוכנע באמונה, שדבר אינו טמא בפני עצמו; הוא טמא רק למי שחושב אותו לטמא. 15 אם אחיך נפגע מהעובדה שאתה אוכל בשר, ואילו אתה ממשיך בשלך, הרי שאינך מתייחס אליו באהבה. אל תניח לדבר-מאכל לפגוע במאמין המשיחי שגם בעדו מת המשיח. 16 אל תניח לדבר הנראה כשר בעיניך להיראות כחטא בעיני אחרים. 17 אחרי-הכול לנו, המשיחיים, אכילה ושתייה אינם הדברים החשובים ביותר בחיינו. החשוב יותר הוא לעשות מעשים טובים, לרדוף שלום ולשמוח בהשראת רוח הקודש. 18 אם נשרת את האדון בדרך זאת, שירותנו ימצא-חן בעיני אלוהים ובעיני בני-אדם. 19 ובאותה דרך הבה נשאף לאחדות ולשלום בקהילה, ונשתדל לבנות איש את רעהו.
20 אל תהרוס את עבודת אלוהים בגלל דבר-מאכל. זכור, מותר לך לאכול כל דבר, כי הכול טהור, אך אם אכילתך עלולה לפגוע באחיך, אזי אסור לך לאכול!
21 מוטב לא לאכול בשר, לא לשתות יין ולא לעשות דבר שעלול לפגוע באחיך. 22 אתה אמנם יודע שמותר לך לאכול כל דבר, כי אלוהים נתן לך רשות, אך שמור זאת בינך לבין אלוהים ואל תתגאה בכך לפני אחרים, כי הם עלולים להיפגע. אשרי האיש העושה את הדבר הנכון במצפון נקי. 23 אם אתה חושב שמעשה מסוים אסור, אל תעשהו, כי לגביך הוא אסור. אם אתה בכל זאת עושה אותו, הרי שחטאת, כי לא נהגת באמונה, וכל מה שנעשה ללא אמונה הוא חטא!

الضعيف والقوي
14 وَمَنْ كَانَ ضَعِيفاً فِي الإِيمَانِ، فَاقْبَلُوهُ بَيْنَكُمْ دُونَ أَنْ تُحَاكِمُوهُ عَلَى آرَائِهِ. 2 مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْتَقِدُ أَنَّهُ يَحِقُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ. وَأَمَّا الضَّعِيفُ فَيَأْكُلُ الْبُقُولَ. 3 فَمَنْ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، عَلَيْهِ أَلّا يَحْتَقِرَ مَنْ لَا يَأْكُلُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ لَا يَأْكُلُ، عَلَيْهِ أَلّا يَدِينَ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ، لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ قَبِلَهُ. 4 فَمَنْ أَنْتَ لِتَدِينَ خَادِمَ غَيْرِكَ؟ إِنَّهُ فِي نَظَرِ سَيِّدِهِ يَثْبُتُ أَوْ يَسْقُطُ. وَلَسَوْفَ يَثْبُتُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُثَبِّتَهُ. 5 وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُرَاعِي يَوْماً دُونَ غَيْرِهِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَعْتَبِرُ الأَيَّامَ كُلَّهَا مُتَسَاوِيَةً. فَلْيَكُنْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مُقْتَنِعاً بِرَأْيِهِ فِي عَقْلِهِ. 6 إِنَّ مَنْ يُرَاعِي يَوْماً مُعَيَّناً، يُرَاعِيهِ لأَجْلِ الرَّبِّ؛ وَمَنْ يَأْكُلُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، يَأْكُلُ لأَجْلِ الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ يُؤَدِّي الشُّكْرَ لِلهِ؛ وَمَنْ لَا يَأْكُلُ، لَا يَأْكُلُ لأَجْلِ الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ يُؤَدِّي الشُّكْرَ لِلهِ. 7 فَلا أَحَدَ مِنَّا يَحْيَا لِنَفْسِهِ، وَلا أَحَدَ يَمُوتُ لِنَفْسِهِ. 8 فَإِنْ حَيِينَا، فَلِلرَّبِّ نَحْيَا؛ وَإِنْ مُتْنَا فَلِلرَّبِّ نَمُوتُ. فَسَوَاءَ حَيِينَا أَمْ مُتْنَا، فَإِنَّما نَحْنُ لِلرَّبِّ. 9 فَإِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ مَاتَ وَعَادَ حَيًّا لأَجْلِ هَذَا: أَنْ يَكُونَ سَيِّداً عَلَى الأَمْوَاتِ وَالأَحْيَاءِ. 10 وَلَكِنْ، لِمَاذَا تَدِينُ أَخَاكَ؟ وَأَنْتَ أَيْضاً، لِمَاذَا تَحْتَقِرُ أَخَاكَ؟ فَإِنَّنَا جَمِيعاً سَوْفَ نَقِفُ أَمَامَ عَرْشِ اللهِ لِنُحَاسَبَ. 11 فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ: «أَنَا حَيٌّ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لِي سَتَنْحَنِي كُلُّ رُكْبَةٍ، وَسَيَعْتَرِفُ كُلُّ لِسَانٍ لِلهِ!» 12 إِذاً، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا سَيُؤَدِّي حِسَاباً عَنْ نَفْسِهِ لِلهِ.
13 فَلْنَكُفّ عَنْ مُحَاكَمَةِ بَعْضِنَا بَعْضاً، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى احْكُمُوا بِهَذَا: أَنْ لَا يَضَعَ أَحَدٌ أَمَامَ أَخِيهِ عَقَبَةً أَوْ فَخّاً. 14 فَأَنَا عَالِمٌ، بَلْ مُقْتَنِعٌ مِنَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، أَنَّهُ لَا شَيْءَ نَجِسٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ. أَمَّا إِنِ اعْتَبَرَ أَحَدٌ شَيْئاً مَّا نَجِساً، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ فِي نَظَرِهِ. 15 فَإِنْ كُنْتَ بِطَعَامِكَ تُسَبِّبُ الْحُزْنَ لأَخِيكَ، فَلَسْتَ تَسْلُكُ بَعْدُ بِمَا يَتَّفِقُ مَعَ الْمَحَبَّةِ. لَا تُدَمِّرْ بِطَعَامِكَ مَنْ لأَجْلِهِ مَاتَ الْمَسِيحُ. 16 إِذَنْ، لَا تُعَرِّضُوا صَلاحَكُمْ لِكَلامِ السُّوءِ. 17 إِذْ لَيْسَ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ بِأَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ، بَلْ هُوَ بِرٌّ وَسَلامٌ وَفَرَحٌ فِي الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ. 18 فَمَنْ خَدَمَ الْمَسِيحَ هكَذَا، كَانَ مَقْبُولاً عِنْدَ اللهِ وَمَمْدُوحاً عِنْدَ النَّاسِ. 19 فَلْنَسْعَ إِذَنْ وَرَاءَ مَا يُؤَدِّي إِلَى السَّلامِ وَمَا يُؤَدِّي إِلَى بُنْيَانِ بَعْضِنَا بَعْضاً. 20 لَا تُدَمِّرْ عَمَلَ اللهِ بِسَبَبِ الطَّعَامِ! حَقّاً إِنَّ الأَطْعِمَةَ كُلَّهَا طَاهِرَةٌ، وَلكِنَّ الشَّرَّ فِي أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الإِنْسَانُ شَيْئاً يُسَبِّبُ الْعَثْرَةَ. 21 فَمِنَ الصَّوَابِ أَلّا تَأْكُلَ لَحْماً وَلا تَشْرَبَ خَمْراً، وَلا تَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً يَتَعَثَّرُ فِيهِ أَخُوكَ. 22 أَلَكَ اقْتِنَاعٌ مَّا؟ فَلْيَكُنْ لَكَ ذَلِكَ بِنَفْسِكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ! هَنِيئاً لِمَنْ لَا يَدِينُ نَفْسَهُ فِي مَا يَسْتَحْسِنُهُ. 23 وَأَمَّا مَنْ يَشُكُّ، فَإِذَا أَكَلَ يُحْكَمُ عَلَيْهِ، لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ عَنْ إِيمَانٍ. وَكُلُّ مَا لَا يَصْدُرُ عَنِ الإِيمَانِ، فَهُوَ خَطِيئَةٌ.
Romans 14
New International Version
The Weak and the Strong
14 Accept the one whose faith is weak,(A) without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.(B) 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt(C) the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge(D) the one who does, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant?(E) To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
5 One person considers one day more sacred than another;(F) another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God;(G) and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone,(H) and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.(I) 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life(J) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.(K)
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt?(L) For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.(M) 11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’(N) says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’”[b](O)
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.(P)
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment(Q) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.(R) 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself.(S) But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.(T) 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love.(U) Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.(V) 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.(W) 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking,(X) but of righteousness, peace(Y) and joy in the Holy Spirit,(Z) 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.(AA)
19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace(AB) and to mutual edification.(AC) 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food.(AD) All food is clean,(AE) but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.(AF) 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.(AG)
22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn(AH) himself by what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts(AI) is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.[c]

Romans 14
King James Version
14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Romans 14
English Standard Version
Do Not Pass Judgment on One Another
14 As for (A)the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. 2 (B)One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. 3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and (C)let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. 4 (D)Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master[a] that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 (E)One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. (F)Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since (G)he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For (H)none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, (I)whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ (J)died and lived again, that he might be Lord both (K)of the dead and of the living.
10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For (L)we will all stand before (M)the judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written,
(N)“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess[b] to God.”
12 So then (O)each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Do Not Cause Another to Stumble
13 (P)Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide (Q)never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. 14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus (R)that nothing is unclean in itself, (S)but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, (T)you are no longer walking in love. (U)By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 (V)So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. 17 (W)For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but (X)of righteousness and (Y)peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is (Z)acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then let us (AA)pursue what makes for peace and for (AB)mutual upbuilding.
20 (AC)Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. (AD)Everything is indeed clean, but (AE)it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. 21 (AF)It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.[c] 22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. (AG)Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.[d]
