Romans 14
1 HIM that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Mutambulenga cena muntu watyompwa mu lushomo, kayi kamutatotekeshananga nendi pa miyeyo yakendi.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Bantu nabambi bashoma kwambeti kuliya catonda pa cakulya ciliconse. Nomba naumbi watyompwa mulushomo ukute kulyowa byamatewu.
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.
Abo bakute kulya byonse kabatanyansha abo batali. Neco abo bakute kulya byamatewu kabatombolosha abo beshikulya byonse, pakwinga Lesa walamutambula mwense.
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.
Nomba obe njobe bani kwambeti womboloshe musebenshi wa mwine? Nimwami wakendi mwine eshakamomboloshe nalacikonsho nambi lalilwa ncito yakendi. Neco nakacikonshe pakwinga mwami ngaumunyamfwilisha kucikonsha.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Bantu nabambi bakute kuyeyeti busuba nabumbi bwapita masuba nambi, kayi nabambi bakute kuyeyeti masuba onse elana. Neco uliyense welela kulisalila mwine mumoyo ncelela kwinsa.
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.
Abo bakute kutonda busuba nabumbi, bakute kwinseco kwambeti balemekeshe Mwami. Abo bakute kulya byonse, bakute kwinseco kwambeti balemeke Mwami, pakwinga bakute kulumbanya Lesa pacebo ca cakulya ico. Abo batali nabimbi bakute kwinseco kwambeti balemeke Mwami, kayi bakute kulumba Lesa pakwinseco.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Kuliya naba umo pakati petu ukute kuba ne buyumi pacebo cakendi enka, nambi kufwila pacebo cakendi mwine.
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.
Twaba ne buyumi, buyumi ubo nibwa Mwami, na tulafu tukute kufwila Mwami. Weco nambi tuba ne buyumi nambi tufwa, njafwe bantu ba Mwami.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Pakwinga Klistu walafwa ne kupunduka kwambeti abe Mwami wa bantu bafwa ne bayumi.
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.
Nomba nicani ulomboloshonga mwanse? Nomba obe nenjobe nicani ulanyanshanga mwanse? Twense nitukemane pamenso a Lesa kwambeti atomboloshe.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Pakwinga Mabala akute kwambeti, “Mwami lambangeti, cakubinga pakuba Mwami muyumi, ndambangeti, bantu bonse nibakansuntamine ne kusuminisheti njame Lesa.”
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Neco muntu uliyense pakati petu nakalyambilile kuli Lesa bintu ibyo mbyalensa.
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.
Lino katucilekani komboloshana. Nsombi mwelela kushako mano kwambeti mutensa cintu ciliconse cela kutyompwesha mu nambi kumwipishila mwanse.
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.
Kwikatishana kwakame ne Mwami Yesu cakubinga kulandeshengeti kuliyawa cakulya celela kwipisha muntu pamenso a Lesa pacebo cakwambeti lacikumyu. Nsombi na naumbi uyeyeti ico cakulya ngacimwipisha, kuli uyo nendi ngacimwipisha nditu.
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.
Na upuntwisha mwanse pakulya cakulya ncolalinga camushobo uliwonse, ekwambeti nkolenshinga mwa kusunana. Utamononga mwanse ne cakulya cakobe, uyo Klistu ngwalafwila.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Mutasuminisheti bantu nabambi bambeti byaipa bintu ibyo mbyomukute kuboneti byaina.
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Pakwinga Bwami bwa Lesa cinene nte cakulya nambi cakunwa sobwe, nsombi bululami, lumuno ne kukondwa, webyo Mushimu Uswepa mbyakute kupa.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Uliyense lasebenselenga Klistu mushoboyo, ukute kukondwelesha Lesa, kayi ukute kuba muntu wasuminishiwa ne bantu nabambi.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Neco lino katulangaulanga bintu byeshi kuleta lumuno kunyamfwana ne kuyuminishana pakati petu.
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.
Lino cakulya citononga mulimo wa Lesa. Byakulya byonse byasuminishiwa kulya, nsombi caipa kulya byakulya byela kupuntwisha banetu.
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.
Caina kutalya nyama, kutanwa waini nambi kutensa cintu ciliconse ico cela kupuntwisha mwanse.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Lino ikatisha mbyowashoma pakati pali njobe ne Lesa. Ukute colwe muntuyo muyawu na lenshi mbyainsheti byalulama.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Nomba na muntu ulya cakulya mwakutonshanya ekwambeti Lesa lamombolosho kendi kwambeti lepishi, pakwinga bintu mbyalenshinga nkabyekatishana ne bintu mbyashoma kwambeti nkabyaina. Neco, cintu ciliconse muntu ncalenshinga ceshi kutotekeshanya ne cintu ncashoma ni bwipishi.
