Romans 14
1 Accept those who are still struggling to trust in God, and don't get into arguments over personal opinions.
Mumulamile wona wona unu Ali mulenga mu likilisha, obhutasosha ndamu okulubhana na ameganilisho gae.
2 One person may believe they can eat anything, while another whose trust is weak only eats vegetables.
Omunu oumwi ali nelikilisha lyo kulya china chona, oundi unu ali mulenga kalyala omukubhi- la.
3 Those who eat anything must not look down on those who won't, and those who won't eat must not criticize those who do—for God has accepted them both.
Omunu unu kalya bhuli chinu asigega okumwigelela mwenene unu atakulya chona chona. No mwene unu atakulya bhuli chinu asigega kumulamula oundi unu atakulya bhuli chinu. Kulwo kubha Nyamuanga amalile okumulamila.
4 What right do you have to judge someone else's servant? It's their own master who decides whether they are right or wrong. With the Lord's help they will be able to take their stand for right.
Awe nawega, awe unu oulamula omukosi unu guli mugabho gwo munu undi? Mbe ni imbele ya Latabhugenyi wae ati kemelegulu amwi kagwa. Mbe nawe kenamusibhwa, kulwo kubha Latabhugenyi katula okumukola emelegulu.
5 Some people consider some days more important than others, while others consider each day the same. Everyone should be completely convinced in their own minds.
Munu umwi kalukusha olusiku lumwi kukila olundi. Oundi kajikusha bhuli nsiku jona kubha jinganilie -ela. Mbe woli bhuli munu eganilishe mu bhwenge bhwae omwene.
6 Those who respect a special day do so for the Lord; and those who eat without worrying do so for the Lord since they give thanks to God; while those who avoid eating certain things do so for the Lord, and they also give thanks to God.
Omwene oyo kagwata olusiku, kagwata ingulu ya Latabhugenyi. Na ku mwene unu kalya, kalya ingulu ya Latabhugenyi, kulwo kubha kamuyana Nyamuanga isime. Omwene unu atakulya, keganya okulya ingulu ya Latabhugenyi. mwenene one kasosha isime ku Nyamuanga.
7 None of us live for ourselves, or die for ourselves.
Kulwo kubha atalio unu alamile ku bhuanga bhwae, na atalio unu kafwa ingulu yae omwene.
8 If we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord—so whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Kulwo kubha alabha echilama, echilama ingulu ya Latabhugenyi. Na kalabha echifwa, echifwa ingulu ya Latabhugenyi. Mbe woli alabha echilama amwi echifwa mbe chili mugabho gwa Latabhugenyi.
9 This was the reason Christ died and came back to life—so that he could be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Kulwo kwenda kunu Kristo afuye no kulama lindi, ati abhe Latabhugenyi wa bhona bhanu bhafuye na bhanu bhali bhaanga.
10 So why do you criticize your fellow-believer? Why do you despise your fellow-believer? For all of us will stand before God's throne of judgment.
Mbe nawe awe, Kulwaki oumulamula owanyu? Ka nawe, Kulwaki oumwigelela owanyu? Kulwo kubha eswe bhona chilimelegulu imbele ye chitebhe cha indamu Cha Nyamuanga.
11 For the Scriptures say, “‘As surely as I am alive,’ the Lord says, ‘Every knee shall bow before me, and every tongue will declare that I am God.’”
kulwo kubha jandikilwe, “Lwa kutyo nilamile,” kaika Latabhugenyi, “Kwanye anye bhuli Ng'okola eifukama, na bhuli lulimi lulisosha (jisifa) ku Nyamuanga.”
12 So every one of us will have to explain ourselves to God.
Kulwejo woli, bhuli umwi weswe kasosha libhala lyae omwene ku Nyamuanga.
13 Therefore let's not judge each other anymore, but decide to do this instead—we won't put obstacles in the way of fellow-believers, or cause them to fall.
Kulwejo, chisige okugendelela lindi okulamulana, mbe nawe amwi okusigana nejo lamula kutya, ati atali unu alatulao echikujusho amwi mipalasuka ku muili wae.
14 I'm certain—persuaded by the Lord Jesus—that nothing in itself is ceremonially unclean. But if someone considers it to be unclean, to them it is unclean.
Nimenyele na nikongibhwe mu Latabhugenyi Yesu, ati chitali chinu chinu chili chijabhi echene-la. Ni kumwene-la unu ketogela ati chona chona hi chijabhi, kulwo kubha ku mwene ni chijabhi.
15 If your fellow-believer is hurt by you over matters of food, then you're no longer behaving in a loving way. Don't destroy someone for whom Christ died by the food you choose to eat.
Akabha kwa insonga ye ebhilyo omuili wao kasulumbala, utachalibhata lindi mu kwenda. Wasiga munyamula kwe bhilyo bhyao omunu unu Kristo afuye ingulu yae.
16 Don't let the good things you do be misrepresented—
Kwibhyo mwasiga kwikilisha ebhikolwa bhyemwe ebhye kisi okuletelela abhanu okubhajimya.
17 for God's kingdom is not about eating and drinking, but about living right, having peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Kulwo kubha obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga bhutali ingulu ye bhilyo no bhunywi, mbe nawe ni ingulu yo bhulengelesi, omulembe, no bhukondeleywe mu Mwoyo Mwelu.
18 Anyone who serves Christ in this way pleases God, and is appreciated by others.
Kulwo kubha unu kamukola Kristo kwo okulubhana na jinu ekilisibhwe ku Nyamuanga na ekilisibhwe na ku bhanu.
19 So let's pursue the path of peace, and find ways to encourage each other.
Kwibhyo woli, chilubhe emisango jinu ejimumbaka omunu no lundi.
20 Don't destroy the work of God with arguments over food. Everything is clean—but it would be wrong to eat and offend others.
Wasiga kunyamula omulimu gwa Nyamuanga kunsonga ye bhilyo. Ebhinu bhyona kulwe chimali ni bhyakisi, mbe nawe ni bhibhibhi ku munu ulya unu Kalya nokuletelela mwenene ekujule.
21 It's better not to eat meat or drink wine or anything else that would cause your fellow-believer to stumble.
Ni kwakisi okusiga okulya inyama, nolwo okunywa obhwalwa, nolwo chona chona chinu kwicho omuili wao kekujula.
22 What you personally believe is between you and God. Happy are those who don't condemn themselves for doing what they think is right!
Obhwikilisha bhwa insonga bhunu ulinabhwo, nubhute agati yao omwene na Nyamuanga. Alina libhando unu atakwilamula omwene mu chilya chinu kekilishanya nacho.
23 But if you have doubts whether it's right or wrong to eat something, then you shouldn't, because you're not convinced it's right. Whatever isn't based on conviction is sin.
Unu ali ne bhitimato alamuywe alabha kalya, Kulwo kubha itakusokana ne likilisha. Na chona chona chinu chitakusokana mu likilisha ni bhibhibhi.
