< Romawa 14 >
1 Kpa biwa njanji ba a kuyere, di na no tron nitu sen nyuna.
Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts.
2 Wa ahei ni njanji ka ri ko gyen, aman wa ahei ni gbengblen ka ri vuvu migyen.
For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.
3 Wa ani ri kogyen kana kpa wa a na ri na tsir na. Indji wa ana ri kogyen na, kana yoh tron ni bi wa ba ri kogyen na.
Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him.
4 Wu u nghan wa wu si to lahtre igran ndi ri? Kri ni zade ma, ni jokuma a die u ndi wu koh ma, aman Bachi ahei gbengblen du kri.
Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand.
5 Indji ri ni gbere san ni vi bari zan bru bari nakima indi ani gbere san ni viba wa wu'u du ko nghab sun ni mi hakakewa nitu imere ma.
For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day: let every man abound in his own sense.
6 Indi wa ni yah ivi, ani yah don Bachi, wa ani ri, ani ri ni Bachi, don ani gri ni Rji, wawu wa ana ri na, a kah ma bubu ri, a kah ma ni Bachi, wawu me si gri ni Rji.
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.
7 Ba ndi wa ani sun nituma ni mi bu, nakima ba ndi wa ani kwu ni tuma.
For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself.
8 Naki inde ki si vri, ki si vri ni Bachi, inde ki kwu, ki kwu ni Rji, nakima, inde ki si vri, ko ki kwu, ki bi wu Bachi.
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
9 Nitu nakima Almasihu a kwu da luda, du kama ti Bachi u bi kwu baba bi vri.
For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
10 Nakima agye bi si tron mri vayi bi? Iwu me don gyen wu si kpa va yi me tsir? Wawu bu wu'u ki kri ni kub tron Rji.
But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 Don ba nhan zi. Mi shi rji nji Bachi, gbarju ba wawu'u ba kudren ni mu. Ileme ba wawu'u ba gber ni mu.
For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 Nakima wawu buwu'u ko nghan iri bu ni hla ikpie wa wawu ti ni nyu ma ni kub Rji.
Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.
13 Nakima kika na tron mri vayi bu na. Nakima kina na tron kpabu na, kika na yo tita u kub zah ni mri vayi bu na, ko kika du vayi bu joku na.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumblingblock or a scandal in your brother’s way.
14 Mi toh di kpa yeme di ni tsutsu ni Bachi Yesu, ba ikpie wa ana hi tsatsra na sei de indji wa a ban da hi tsatsra na.
I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Inde bi ri me ani mrey vayi me, wu na si zre ni mi so na. Na kpa wa Yesu a kwu nitu ma ti meme ni biri me na.
For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16 Nakima na ban ikpie biwa ba bi duba kam ti ikpi biwa ba jin mer ye ni bari na.
Let not then our good be evil spoken of.
17 Nakima, ni mi koh Rji ana tre ri ba sou na, aman nitu didi ni sun si, ni ki klan suron ni mi Ibrji u Tsatsra.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 Nakima, wa ba gran Almasihu ni koh kima, ahiu kpa ni Rji, naki u gbu di ba ka kpa yeme niwu.
For he that in this serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is approved of men.
19 Nakima kika wa kpie biwa ba hiu sun si, ni kpie biwa ba me ta.
Therefore let us follow after the things that are of peace; and keep the things that are of edification one towards another.
20 Na kpa i du Rji ti meme nitu kpie u ri na. Iya di wa ani ri kpie wa a du ri joku.
Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21 Ana bi du ba tan nanma ko sou imah inabi, ko ni kpie wa ani jin joku ye ni vayi ma.
It is good not to eat flesh, and not to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended, or scandalized, or made weak.
22 Nakima njanji waki hei niwu, bika mla zi ni tsutsu bi ni Rji. Wu u lulu wa isuron ma ana lahtre nitu ikpie wa hankali ma a toh a dede.
Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
23 Naki wa ani ti shakka aman da ri, ka toh da lahtre, dona na hei ni njanji na, a lahtre.
But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
