Ŵaloma 14
1 Mumpochele jwelejo jwakulepetala mu chikulupi nkakanilana nawo nkati ng'anisyo syao.
Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts.
2 Mundu jumo akwete chikulupi, akulya indu yose, nambo jwine jwalepetele mu chikulupi, akulya maponda pe.
For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.
3 Mundu jwakulya indu yose, akasanjalusya jwelejo jwangakulya indu yose. Ni mundu jwakulya maponda pe, akasanlamula jwelejo jwakulya indu yose, pakuŵa Akunnungu ankundile jwelejo.
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 Ana mmwejo nduni junkunlamula jwakutumichila jwa jwine? Ajimaga uchenene pa masengo gao pane agwaga, lyele lili pachanya pa mmbujegwe. Nombejo chajime mwakulimbila, pakuŵa Ambuje chakombole kunjimika.
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 Mundu jumo akukombola kuganisya kuti lyuŵa limo lili lyambone kupunda moŵa gane nambo jwine akukombola kuganisya kuti moŵa gose gali yalumo. Kwapele mundu jwalijose ajitichisye yakuti pakuganisya nsyene.
For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day: let every man abound in his own sense.
6 Mundu jwalijose jwakuliwona lyuŵa lili lyambone, akutenda yeleyo kwakwakusya Ambuje. Ni jwakulya indu yose, akutenda yeleyo kwakwakusya Ambuje, pakuŵa akwatogolela Akunnungu kwaligongo lya chakulya chiŵapele. Iyoyo ni jwangakulya indu yose, akutenda yeleyo kwakwakusya Ambuje, ni jwelejo nombe akwatogolela Akunnungu.
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 Pakuŵa ngapagwa namose jumo pasikati jetu jwakutama kwa liwamba lyakwe nsyene atamuno ngapagwa jwakwasika kwa liwamba lyakwe nsyene.
For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself.
8 Pakuwa iŵaga tukutama, tukutama kwa liwamba lya Ambuje ni iŵaga tukwasika, tukwasika kwa liwamba lya Ambuje. Nipele, iŵaga tukutama pane tukwasika, uwe tuli ŵandu ŵa Ambuje.
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 Pakuŵa Kilisito ŵajasiche ni kusyuka kwa ligongo lyo, melepe aŵeje Ambuje ŵao ŵaajasiche ni ŵajumi nombe nawo.
For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
10 Kwachichi mmwe nkunlamula mpwenu jo? Pane uli alakwe kunjalusya mpwenu jo? Pakuŵa uweji wose tutujime paujo pa chitengu cha ulamusi cha Akunnungu.
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 Pakuŵa mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, Ambuje akuti, “Isyene indite kuŵa Akunnungu jwanjumi, kila mundu chachitindiŵala paujo pangu ni kila mundu chachijitichisya kuŵecheta nsyene kuti Une ndili Akunnungu jwanjumi.”
For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 Kwayele, kila jwalijose pasikati jetu chaliŵalanje nsyene kwa aila iyaitesile paujo pa Akunnungu.
Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.
13 Nipele, tukasalamulana twachinsyene nambo tulilolechesye, mundu akasammichila njakwe chakukuŵasya pane kuntenda agwilile mu sambi.
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 Une jwanumbikene ni Ambuje Che Yesu, ngumanyilila kuti ngapagwa chakulya chachili chakusakala paujo pa Akunnungu. Nambo mundu aganisyaga kuti chakulya chine chili chakusakala paujo pa Akunnungu, chele chakulya cho chili chakusakala kwa jwelejo.
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 Nambo mwansupusyaga mpwenu kwa ligongo lya yakulya inkulya, nlesile kutenda mu unonyelo. Chakulya chinkulya chikaŵa ligongo lya kunsoyasya mpwenu juŵawililwe ni Kilisito.
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 Iyoyo kasinjitichisya kuti chindu chinkuchiwona ŵanyamwe chambone chijaluswe.
Let not then our good be evil spoken of.
17 Pakuŵa, Umwenye wa Akunnungu nganiuŵa kulya ni kug'wa, nambo kuli kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ni chitendewele ni sangalala jajikwika ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 Pakuŵa mundu jwalijose jwakuntumichila Kilisito kwanti yeleyo, akwanonyelesya Akunnungu, sooni akukundikwa ni ŵandu.
For he that in this serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is approved of men.
19 Nipele, iŵaga yeleyo, tulimbile nnope kutendekanya indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele ni yaikutukamuchisya kulimbisyana mitima mu chikulupi.
Therefore let us follow after the things that are of peace; and keep the things that are of edification one towards another.
20 Kasingajonanga masengo ga Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya yakulya. Isyene yakulya yose yeswejeswe, nambo ngaŵa yambone kulya chakulya chachikuntendekasya jwine agwilile mu sambi.
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 Ili yambone kuleka kulya nyama ni kung'wa divai, pane kuleka ineine yaikukombola kuntendekasya mpwenu agwilile mu sambi.
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 Chikulupi chinkwete cho chisigalile kukwenu ni Akunnungu. Jwana upile jwelejo jwangakulilamula nsyene, pakuŵa akukulupilila kuti aila yaitesile ikwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
23 Nambo mundu jwakwete lipamba ni indu yakulya, Akunnungu akunlamula pakulya pakuŵa chakuchitenda akutenda pangali chikulupi. Ni chindu chachili chose chakupanganya mundu iŵaga akuchipanganya pangali chikulupi, chelecho chili sambi.
But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
