Romans 14
1 Upna sung ah thaneam te na sang vun, ahitazong up huai ngawl ki nialna te na sang heak vun.
Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
2 Banghangziam cile mihing khat in na theampo ne thei hi, ci um hi: a thaneam a dang khat in, an te tatuam ne hi.
One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
3 A ne pa in a ne ngawl pa nunau heak tahen; taciang a ne ngawl pa in a ne pa thukhen heak tahen: banghangziam cile Pathian in ama sang hi.
Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
4 Ngual dang khat i naseam pa a sit tu in nang kua ni ziam? tua naseam a din le a to sia a topa taw kisai hi. Ama dingsak tu hi: banghangziam cile Pathian in ama dingsak thei hi.
Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.
5 Mihing khat in ni khat sia adang nikhat sang in thupi zaw in ngaisun hi: a dang khat in a kibangtek in ngaisun hi. Mihing khatsim in ama thinsung pan a ngaisut bang in khotak in pom tahen.
One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
6 Ni a tang te in Topa atu in tang hi; taciang a tang ngawl te zong in Topa atu in tang ngawl hi. A ne te in Topa atu in ne hi, banghangziam cile Pathian lungdam ko hi; taciang a ne ngawl te in zong Topa atu in ne ngawl hi, taciang Pathian lungdam ko hi.
He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
7 Banghangziam cile kuama in ama atu in a nungta bua hi, taciang kuama in zong ama atu bek in i thi bua hi.
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8 Banghangziam cile i nungta zong Topa atu in i nungta hi; taciang i thi zong in Topa atu in i thi hi: tua ahikom i nungta zong, i thi hial zong in, Topa neisa i hihi.
For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
9 Banghangziam cile Christ sia athile a nungta te i Topa a hi natu in thi a, taciang thokik hi, taciang thaksua kik hi.
For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 Ahihang banghang in na suapui tung thukhen ni ziam? a hibale banghang in na suapui thusimngawl ni ziam? banghangziam cile i vekpi in Christ thukhenna tokhum mai ah i ding tu hi.
But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 Banghangziam cile, Topa in ci hi, keima ka nuntak bangma in, khup theampo ka mai ah khupdin tu hi, taciang leii theampo in Pathian mai ah pualak tu hi, ci in ki atkhol zo hi.
For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
12 Tua ahikom i vekpi in Pathian kung ah sazian i pia kik tu hi.
So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
13 Tua ahikom khat le khat thu ki khen nawn ba tawng: kuama in a suapui pa lampi ah a lutusak a hibale lutu natu koi ngawl in thukhen zaw tawng.
Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
14 Topa Jesus tungtawn he in ka up thu sia, ama thu in a thiang ngawl bangma om ngawl hi: ahihang a thiang ngawl ci in a ngaisun te atu in natheampo thiang ngawl hi.
I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Ahihang na suapui pa sia na anneak hang in a thin a na le, nangma sia itna taw nungta ngawl na hihi. Ama sia na anneak taw in susia heak in, banghangziam cile ama atu in Christ thi hi.
Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
16 No atu apha te midang te in a pha ngawl in son heak tahen:
Then don’t let your good be slandered,
17 Banghangziam cile Pathian i kumpingam sia neak le dawn ah hi ngawl hi; ahihang Tha Thiangtho sung ah thutang suana, kilemna le lungdamna ah hi zaw hi.
for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 Banghangziam cile hite sung ah Christ atu na a seam te sia Pathian mai ah a san thamman hi a, taciang mihing te in zong upat uh hi.
For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 Tua ahikom kilemna a piangsak nate zui khawm tek tawng, taciang tua nate khat le khat i khanto na hong suak tu hi.
So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
20 Anneak atu in Pathian nasep susia heak vun. A tatak ci ciang na theampo sia a thiang a hihi; ahihang ngualdang lutu natu in a ne pa atu pha ngawl hi.
Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
21 Na suapui liik in a pu na tu, a hibale thaneam natu ahile, sa neak le sapittui dawn zong pha ngawl hi.
It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
22 Upna na nei ziam? Pathian mai ah nangma atu in nei in. A up thu hang in ama le ama a ki mawsak ngawl te thuphatoai a hihi.
Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
23 Taciang uplakna a nei te in a ne le upna taw ne ngawl ahikom maw hi: banghangziam cile upna kihel ngawl ngamtatna theampo sia mawna a hihi.
But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
