Romanian term or phrase: Nu pot să zic nici aşa nici altfel
Am de tradus un text religios care cuprinde, printre altele, si urmatorul citat (a carui varianta in engleza nu o gasesc):



Nu pot să zic nici aşa nici altfel, pentru că Dumnezeu nu avea nevoie de căsătorie ca să înmulţească pe oameni pe pământ
(SF. IOAN GURA DE AUR, Despre feciorie, in «Sources Chretienes», vol. 125, collection dirigée par H. de Lubac, S.J. et J. Danielou, S.J., Edition Du CERF, Paris, 1966, p.146.)

You will ask if all men were to be created in this manner. Yes, either in this way or in another that I cannot say. The point is that God did not need marriage for the creation.
