Jo-Rumi 14
1 Rwakuru ngʼama yie mare yomyom ma ok umino kode wach kuom weche ma pod en-go gi kiawa.
HIM that is weak in faith take by the hand, and enter not into niceties of disputes.
2 Ngʼato nyalo bedo gi yie mar chamo chiemo moro amora, to ngʼat machielo ma yiene yomyom chamo mana alot kende.
One man indeed thinketh he may eat all meats; another, who is weak, eateth vegetables.
3 Kik ngʼat machamo gik moko duto buon ngʼat ma ok cham, kendo ngʼat ma ok cham gik moko duto bende kik ngʼad bura ne ngʼat machamo, nikech Nyasaye oserwake.
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not, and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth; for God hath accepted him.
4 In to in ngʼa ma inyalo ngʼado bura ne jatich ngʼat machielo? Kochungʼ kata kopodho, to obadho mana ruodhe owuon, kendo obiro mi ochungʼ motegno nimar Ruoth nigi teko mar miyo ochungʼ.
Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth; but he shall be established: for God is able to establish him.
5 Ngʼat achiel neno ni odiechiengʼ moro ler mohingo machielo; ngʼat machielo to okaw odiechienge duto ni romre. Ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo obed gi ratiro e pache owuon.
One man judgeth one day different from another day: another judgeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 Ngʼat mokawo odiechiengʼ moro ni duongʼ moloyo machielo timo kamano mondo omi Ruoth duongʼ. Ngʼat machamo ringʼo bende chiemo kamiyo Ruoth duongʼ, nikech ogoyo erokamano ne Nyasaye. Kamano bende, ngʼat ma ok chiem bende ok chiem kuom miyo Ruoth duongʼ, kendo ogoyo erokamano ne Nyasaye.
He that observeth a day, to the Lord he observeth it; and he that observeth not a day, to the Lord he doth not observe it. He that eateth, to the Lord he eateth, for he giveth thanks to God; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.
7 Nimar onge ngʼato kuomwa mangimane en mare owuon, kendo onge ngʼato kuomwa mathone en mare owuon.
For no one of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself.
8 Ka wangima to wangima ni Ruoth; kendo ka watho to bende watho ne Ruoth.
For whether we live, to the Lord we live, and whether we die, to the Lord we die; whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
9 Ma emomiyo Kristo notho mochako odoko mangima kendo mondo obed Ruodh joma ngima gi joma otho duto kaachiel.
For to this end Christ both died, and rose again, and revived, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.
10 Koro angʼo momiyo in ingʼado bura ni nyawadu? Koso in ijaro nyawadu nangʼo? Nimar wan duto wabiro chungʼ e nyim kom bura mar Nyasaye.
But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? And thou, why dost thou disparage thy brother? for we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ.
11 Mana kaka ondiki: “An Jehova Nyasaye, ‘Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, ni ji duto nogo chong-gi piny e nyima kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nohul ni an e Nyasaye.’”
For it is written, “As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall make confession to God.”
12 Omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa nodwok wach man kuome owuon ni Nyasaye.
Assuredly then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.
13 Kuom mano, waweuru ngʼado ne jowetewa bura. Kar timo kamano to temuru matek mondo kik ngʼato kuomu oket rachwany kata ragengʼ e yor nyawadgi.
Let us therefore no more judge one another; but judge this rather, that no one put a stumbling-block or offence before his brother.
14 Kaka ngʼama ni ei Ruoth Yesu, angʼeyo malongʼo ni onge chiemo ma ok ler kende owuon. To ka ngʼato okawo gimoro ni ok ler, to gino dokone ma ok ler ne en owuon.
I know, and am convinced by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who thinketh any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Kapo ni gima ichamo miyo wadu hinyore, to mano nyiso ni iseweyo wuotho e hera. Kik iyie gima ichamo chwany ngʼat mane Kristo othone.
But if by meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no more according to love. Do not by thy meat destroy him for whom Christ died.
16 Omiyo kik iyie mondo gima ikawo ni ber, ji wuoye kaka gima rach.
Let not therefore food, which is good for you, give occasion of reproach.
17 Nimar pinyruodh Nyasaye ok en chiemo gi metho, to en ngima makare gi kwe kod mor ei Roho Maler,
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 nikech ngʼama tiyo ne Kristo e yo machal kama ema longʼo ne Nyasaye, kendo ngʼat ma kamano ema ji oyiego.
For he who in these things is the servant of Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Kuom mano, watemuru matek mondo watim gima kelo kwe kendo ma wanyalo jiworego ngʼato gi ngʼato.
Well then, let us earnestly pursue the things that conduce to peace, and the things which are for mutual edification.
20 Kik iketh tich Nyasaye nikech wach chiemo. Chiemo duto ler, to ok ber mondo ngʼato ocham gimoro amora mamiyo ngʼat machielo podho.
For the sake of meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but it is an evil thing for a man to eat, giving offence.
21 Ok ber mondo icham ringʼo kata imadh divai, kata itim gimoro amora manyalo miyo nyawadu podhi.
It is laudable not to eat flesh, or to drink wine, nor to do any thing whereby thy brother is stumbled, or scandalized, or weakened.
22 Omiyo gimoro amora ma iyie e chunyi kuom wechegi ni ber keti obedni malingʼ-lingʼ e kindi gi Nyasaye. Ogwedh ngʼatno ma chunye ok ngʼadne bura kuom gima oparo ni ber.
Hast thou faith, exercise it before God within thyself. Blessed is the man who condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
23 To ngʼat machiemo ka nigi kiawa e chunye bura oloyo kapo ochiemo nikech ok ochiem kuom yie; to gik moko duto motim ka ok oa kuom yie en richo.
But he that maketh a difference between meats, if he eat is condemned, because he doth it not by faith: for every thing which is not of faith, is sin.
