< Rom 14 >
1 Tangnah aka vawtthoek te doe uh lamtah poeknah neh boelhkhoehnah te khueh boeh.
And him who is weak in the faith receive ye — not to determinations of reasonings;
2 Pakhat long ngawn tah boeih caak ham a tangnah. Tedae tattloel long tah toian a caak.
one doth believe that he may eat all things — and he who is weak doth eat herbs;
3 Aka ca loh aka ca pawt te hnaelcoe boeh. Aka ca pawt long khaw aka ca te kamkaih boeh. Anih te khaw Pathen loh a doe coeng.
let 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.
4 Nang tah metlam na om aih tih hlanglang kah imkhut te na coel? Anih te a boei hut la pai tih yalh ta. Tedae Boeipa loh anih te a thoh thai dongah pai ngawn ni ta.
Thou — 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.
5 Te dongah pakhat loh khohnin pakhat lakah khohnin pakhat te a poek. Tedae pakhat loh khohnin boeih he tanglue la a poek. Pakhat rhip loh amah lungbuei ah tangnah saeh.
One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day [alike]; let each in his own mind be fully assured.
6 Khohnin aka yaeh loh Boeipa ham a yaeh tih aka ca loh boeipa ham a caak dongah Pathen te a uem. Aka ca pawt long khaw Boeipa ham a caak pawt dongah Pathen te a uem.
He 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.
7 Te dongah amah ham aka hing he mamih ah om pawt tih amah ham aka duek khaw om pawh.
For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;
8 N'hing uh atah Boeipa ham n'hing uh tih n'duek uh atah Boeipa ham n'duek uh. Te dongah hing akhaw duek akhaw Boeipa kah hut la n'om uh.
for 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;
9 Te ham te Khrih duek tih hing coeng. Te daengah ni aka duek neh aka hing kah boei la bok a om eh.
for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.
10 Te koinih nang tah balae tih na manuca te na kamkaih. Nang tah balae tih na manuca te na hnaelcoe. Mamih boeih tah Pathen kah ngolkhoel ah m'pai uh ni.
And 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;
11 A daek vanbangla Boeipa loh, “Kai tah ka hing. Te dongah Hlang boeih loh kai taengah khuklu cungkueng saeh lamtah olka boeih loh Pathen ming te phong saeh,” a ti.
for it hath been written, 'I live! saith the Lord — to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'
12 Te dongah mamih khat rhip loh amah amah kah lannah te Pathen taengah a paek tangloeng ni.
so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;
13 Te dongah khat neh khat soah laitloek uh thae boel sih. Tedae manuca taengah caehkoek neh thangkui khueh pawt ham he mah laitloek uh.
no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.
14 Amah ah aka tanghnong he om pawh tila Boeipa Jesuh ah ka ngaitang tih ka ming dae khat khat loh mebang khaw tanghnong a ti atah anih ham tanghnong la om ni.
I 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;
15 Caak rhangneh na manuca te a khothet atah lungnah neh na caeh moenih. Anih ham aka duek Khrih te nang kah cakok neh na poci sak ham moenih.
and 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.
16 Te dongah nangmih ham aka then tah soehsal boeh.
Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,
17 Pathen kah ram tah caak neh ook dongah pawt tih duengnah, rhoepnah, Mueihla Cim ah omngaihnah dongah ni a om.
for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
18 Te dongah he nen he Khrih kah sal aka bi tah Pathen ham kolonah neh hlang ham ueppang koi la om.
for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
19 Te dongah rhoepnah koi neh khat neh khat ham hlinsainah koi te hnuktlak uh tangloeng sih.
So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;
20 Caak ham dawk neh Pathen kah bibi te phae boeh. A cungkuem he caih ngawn dae caak rhangneh hlang ham caehkoek la a om te thae.
for 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.
21 Maeh caak pawt khaw, misurtui a ok ham pawt rhangneh na manuca loh a tongtah pawt te then.
Right [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.
22 Nang namah loh tangnah na khueh te Pathen hmaiah khueh. Amah loh a soepsoei tangtae te lai aka tloek thil pawt tah a yoethen.
Thou hast faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,
23 Tedae a boelhkhoeh tih a caak atah tangnah lamkah pawt dongah boe coeng. Te dongah tangnah lamkah pawt boeih te tah tholhnah ni.
and 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.
