Romans 14
1 HIM that is weak in faith take by the hand, and enter not into niceties of disputes.
Mwanirizenga omunafu mu kukkiriza, nga temumusalira musango.
2 One man indeed thinketh he may eat all meats; another, who is weak, eateth vegetables.
Wabaawo omuntu omu akkiririza mu kulya ebintu byonna, nga so ye omunafu akoma ku nva kwokka.
3 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.
Omuntu asalawo okubaako ky’alya tanyoomanga atakirya, n’oyo atalya kintu alemenga kusalira musango oyo akirya kubanga Katonda yamusembeza.
4 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.
Ggwe ani asalira omusango omuweereza w’omuntu omulala? Mukama we y’amanya oba atuukiriza emirimu gye oba tagituukiriza. Naye aligituukiriza kubanga Mukama we alimusobozesa.
5 One man judgeth one day different from another day: another judgeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Omuntu omu agulumiza olunaku olumu okusinga olulala, naye omulala n’alowooza nti ennaku zonna zenkanankana. Noolwekyo buli muntu anywererenga ku ky’alowooza bwe kiba nga kye kituufu.
6 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.
Akuza olunaku aba alukuza eri Mukama. Oyo alya aba alya ku bwa Mukama, kubanga aba agulumiza Katonda. N’oyo atalya aba talya ku bwa Mukama, era aba agulumiza Katonda.
7 For no one of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself.
Kubanga tewali n’omu ku ffe abeera omulamu ku bubwe yekka, era tewali n’omu afa ku lulwe.
8 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.
Kubanga bwe tuba abalamu, tuba balamu ku bwa Mukama, oba bwe tufa, tufa ku bwa Mukama. Kale nno bwe tuba abalamu oba bwe tufa, tuli ba Mukama.
9 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.
Kubanga ekyo Kristo kye yafiira ate n’abeera omulamu, alyoke abeere Mukama w’abo abaafa era n’abalamu.
10 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.
Kale ggwe lwaki osalira muganda wo omusango? Oba lwaki onyooma muganda wo? Kubanga ffenna tuliyimirira mu maaso g’entebe ya Katonda, ey’okulamula.
11 For it is written, “As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall make confession to God.”
Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “‘Nga bwe ndi omulamu,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘buli vviivi lirinfukaamirira era na buli lulimi lulyatula Katonda.’”
12 Assuredly then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.
Noolwekyo buli omu ku ffe alyennyonnyolako eri Katonda.
13 Let us therefore no more judge one another; but judge this rather, that no one put a stumbling-block or offence before his brother.
Noolwekyo tetusaliragananga misango. Tumalirire obuteesittaza waluganda wadde okumutega okugwa mu kibi.
14 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.
Mmanyi era nkakasiza ddala mu Mukama waffe Yesu, nga tewali kya muzizo ku bwakyo, wabula kya muzizo eri oyo akirowooza nga kya muzizo.
15 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.
Kubanga obanga muganda wo anakuwala olw’ekyo ky’olya, oba tokyatambulira mu kwagala; tolyanga kintu kyonna ky’omanyi nga kinaakyamya omuntu oyo Kristo gwe yafiirira.
16 Let not therefore food, which is good for you, give occasion of reproach.
Ekirungi ekiri mu mmwe kireme okuvumibwa.
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Kubanga obwakabaka bwa Katonda si kulya na kunywa, wabula butuukirivu na mirembe, na ssanyu mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu.
18 For he who in these things is the servant of Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Kubanga aweereza Kristo mu ebyo asanyusa nnyo Katonda era asiimibwa abantu.
19 Well then, let us earnestly pursue the things that conduce to peace, and the things which are for mutual edification.
Noolwekyo tunyiikirirenga eby’emirembe, n’eby’okuzimbagana ffekka ne ffekka.
20 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.
Toyonoonanga mulimu gwa Katonda olw’emmere. Ebintu byonna birongoofu, naye ekibi kwe kulya ekyo ekireetera omulala okwesittala.
21 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.
Kirungi obutalya nnyama newaakubadde okunywa wayini newaakubadde ekintu kyonna ekyesittaza muganda wo.
22 Hast thou faith, exercise it before God within thyself. Blessed is the man who condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
Ky’okkiririzaamu mu kulya kikuume nga kya kyama ne Katonda. Alina omukisa ateesalira musango kumusinga mu ekyo ky’alowooza nga kituufu.
23 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.
Naye oyo abuusabuusa bw’alya, omusango gumaze okumusinga, kubanga talya lwa kukkiriza, era na buli ekitava mu kukkiriza kiba kibi.
