Rom 14
1 Tangnah aka vawtthoek te doe uh lamtah poeknah neh boelhkhoehnah te khueh boeh.
Welcome a man of weak faith, but not for the purpose of deciding doubtful points.
2 Pakhat long ngawn tah boeih caak ham a tangnah. Tedae tattloel long tah toian a caak.
One man has faith to eat anything; but he whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
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.
He who eats meat must not despise the man who abstains; and let not the man who abstains judge him who eats; for God has received 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.
Who are you just that judges the household-servant of another? To his own lord he stands or falls. And stand he will, for his Master has power 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.
There are some who esteem one day above another; there are others who esteem all days alike; let each other be fully persuaded in his own mind.
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 regards the day, regards it unto his Lord; and he who regards it not, disregards it unto his Lord. He who eats meat, eats unto his Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who abstains, abstains unto his Lord, since he, too, gives God thanks.
7 Te dongah amah ham aka hing he mamih ah om pawt tih amah ham aka duek khaw om pawh.
For not one of us lives unto himself, and not one dies unto himself.
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.
If we live, we live unto our Lord; if we die, we die unto our Lord. So then, whether we live or die, we belong to our Lord.
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 this purpose Christ died and became alive again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.
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.
But you the abstainer, why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you again the non-abstainer, why do you despise yours? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.
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 is written, "As I live," says the Lord, "to me every knee shall bow, And to God shall every tongue confess."
12 Te dongah mamih khat rhip loh amah amah kah lannah te Pathen taengah a paek tangloeng ni.
So then each one of us shall give account of himself 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.
So let us no longer pass judgment on one another; rather let this be your judgment, that no one put a stumbling-block in his brother’s way, nor any cause of falling.
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 know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is in itself unclean; but any food is "unclean" for one who considers it "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.
If your brother is continually pained because of your food, you are not conducting yourself any longer in love. Do not, by what you eat, persist in destroying a man for whom Christ died.
16 Te dongah nangmih ham aka then tah soehsal boeh.
Therefore do not let what is right, so far as you are concerned, 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 kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of 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.
Those who are slaving for Christ devotedly in these ways, are well pleasing to God and highly commended by man.
19 Te dongah rhoepnah koi neh khat neh khat ham hlinsainah koi te hnuktlak uh tangloeng sih.
So then let is eagerly pursue the things that make for peace and the upbuilding of each other.
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.
Do not, for the sake of food, be tearing down God’s work. All food indeed is ceremonially clean, but a man is in the wrong if his food proves a stumbling-block.
21 Maeh caak pawt khaw, misurtui a ok ham pawt rhangneh na manuca loh a tongtah pawt te then.
The right course is not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything through which your brother is made to stumble.
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.
Have you faith? Keep it to yourself as in the presence of God. He is a happy man who does not condemn himself in that which he approves.
23 Tedae a boelhkhoeh tih a caak atah tangnah lamkah pawt dongah boe coeng. Te dongah tangnah lamkah pawt boeih te tah tholhnah ni.
But he who has misgivings, and yet eats meat, is condemned already, because his action is not based on faith; and whatever is not based on faith is sin.
