Romans 14
1 HIM that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Tambula kufumbwa muntu mutete kulusyomo, kamutapi lubeta ataa akukazanya.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Umwi muntu ulalusyomo kukulya kufumbwa, awumwi mutete ulya chisyu kupela.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Oyo ulya zintu zintu zyoonse atanyansyi oyo utalyi; alimwi alakwe utalyi zintu zyonse atabeteki oyo ulya zintu zyoonse. Nkambo leza wamutambula.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Nduweni, iwe nobeteka mulanda wawumwi? Ezi zilikuli simalelo wakwe nkwayimvwi kana kuwida. Asi ulakonzya kwima, nkambo Mwami ulamukonzyezya kuti amwimike.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Umwi muntu ulalemya limwi zuba kwinda limwi. Awumwi ulalemya mazuba oonse mukwelene umwi awumwi ngabe akasimpe mumiyeyo yakwe.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Oyo ubamba buzuba, ulibambila Mwami; alimwi oyo ulya, ulyida Mwami, nkambo upabulumbu kuliLeza oyo utalyi, ulikachizizya kulya nkambo kaMwami, akulumbayizya Leza.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Aboobo takwe wesu uliponena mwini, alimwi takwe ulifwida mwini.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
Anu kuti nkatupona tuponena Mwami, alimwi kuti twafwa, tufwida Mwami. Ninsya nkatupona kana kufwa, tuli baMwami.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Akaambo kazezi Kkilisitu wakafwa alimwi wakapona lubo, kuti abe mwami wabo boonse bafwide alimwi abaabo bapona.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Asi nywe, kambonzi nimubeteka munyokwe? Alimwi nywe kambonzi nimunyansya munyokwe? Kaambo swe tuyoyima kuchuuno chalubeta chaLeza.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Nkambo kulilembedwe, “Mbuli mbepona,”mbawamba Mwami, “kulindime mazwi ayofugama, alimwi ndimi zyoonse ziyowamba kuliLeza.”
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Aboobo, umwi awumwi wesu uyopa makkani alangene anguwe kuliLeza.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
Aboobo, katutachibetekani, asi tuyeye ezi, kutabi ubika chilebyo kana kakole kumwenzinyina.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Ndilizi alimwi me ndasungilizigwa muMwamiJesu, kuti takwe chintu chisalala achilike. Kupela kuloyo uyeya kuti nchibi, kuloyo nchibi.
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
Ikuti nkambo kakulya munakwanu kula mutyola, tochendi muluyando. Utamujayi akulya kwako nkambo Kkilisitu wakamufwida.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Kamutazuminini echo nchimuti nchibi chambwe bubi.
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Nkambo bwami bwaLeza tabwensi bwakulya na kunywa, pesi mbwabululami, lulumuno, alimwi akubotelwa muMuuya uSalala.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Aboobo oyo ubelekela Kkilisitu munzila eyi ulatambulika kuliLeza alimwi ulazumininwa abantu.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Aboobo, atusungwalile zintu zyalumuno alimwi zintu ziyaka umwi awumwi.
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Mutajayi mulimu waLeza kumakkani akulya. Zyoonse zisalala, asi nchibi kumuntu ulya kufumbwa chintu chilebya mwenzinyina.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Tachili kabotu kuti ulye nyama, kana kunywa wayini, kana kuchita chintu chileba munyokwe.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Lusyomo ndomulalo, alubambwe akati kanu aLeza. Ulilongezegwe oyo utapi mulandu kulecho nchazumina.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Oyo udoneka ulalibeteka kuti walya, nkambo tachizwi kulusyomo. Alimwi choonse chitali chalusyomo nchibi.
