Romans 14
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
Chikꞌamawaꞌj ri man kꞌo taj uchuqꞌabꞌ pa ri ukojobꞌal, rech jeriꞌ man kibꞌan taj tijoj chuqꞌabꞌ rukꞌ pa tzij.
2 One person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.
E kꞌo jujun kakibꞌij chi ri kikojobꞌal kuya bꞌe chike kakitij ronojel uwach jastaq, e kꞌo chi kꞌu nikꞌaj ri maj kichuqꞌabꞌ pa ri kikojobꞌal, xaq xwi ichaj kakitijo.
3 Do not let the one who eats despise the one who does not eat. Do not let the one who does not eat judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
Ri kutij ronojel uwach jastaq, makuya taj karetzelaj ri xaq jujun jastaq kutijo, je xuqujeꞌ ri xaq kꞌyaqal taq jastaq kutijo, makuya taj kuqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri kutij ronojel uwach jastaq, rumal cher ri Dios kuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj kikobꞌchal.
4 Who are you who judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for the Lord has power to make him stand.
¿At jachin at che ri kaqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ jun rajchak chi jun? We ko kꞌolik o wine katzaqik, are ri Rajaw riꞌ kilowik. Tzi ko kꞌu wi kakꞌojiꞌ na rumal cher ri Ajawxel kꞌo uchuqꞌabꞌ chi rukꞌaꞌxik.
5 One esteems one day as more important; and another one esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.
Kꞌo winaq ri sibꞌalaj nim karil jun qꞌij cho jun chik, kꞌo chi jun xaq junam karil ronojel ri qꞌij. Rajawaxik kꞌut ko kakꞌojiꞌ jun pa ri uchomabꞌal.
6 The one who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and the one who does not observe the day, he does not observe it to the Lord. The one who eats, he eats to the Lord; since he gives thanks to God. And the one who does not eat, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives thanks to God.
Ri winaq ri sibꞌalaj nim karil jun qꞌij cho ri nikꞌaj chik, kuya uqꞌij ri Ajawxel rukꞌ ri uchomanik. Ri kutij ronojel uwach jastaq, kutijo chuqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Ajawxel, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌutu chi katyoxin che ri Dios. Je xuqujeꞌ ri man kutij taj ronojel uwach jastaq, jeriꞌ kubꞌano chuqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
Jeriꞌ rumal cher man kꞌo ta jun chaqe xaq pa rech wi kꞌaslik xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun xaq pa rech wi kakamik.
8 For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's.
We kujkꞌasiꞌk, kujkꞌasiꞌk chuyaꞌik uqꞌij ri Dios rukꞌ ri kaqabꞌano, we kujkamik, kujkamik chuyaꞌik uqꞌij ri Dios. Xaq jeriꞌ we uj kꞌaslik o uj kaminaq, uj rech ri Ajawxel.
9 For to this end Christ died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
Rumal kꞌu waꞌ xkam ri Cristo xuqujeꞌ xkꞌastaj uwach, rech jeriꞌ kux Ajawxel ri uj ri uj kꞌaslik xuqujeꞌ ke ri e kaminaq chik.
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
Ri at kꞌut, ¿jas che kaqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri awachalal? O ¿jas che kawetzelaj? Qonojel kujopan na cho ri uqꞌatbꞌal tzij ri Cristo.
11 For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"
Ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: “In in Kꞌaslik,” kacha ri Ajawxel, “chinuwach in kexukiꞌ wi na konojel ri winaq, xuqujeꞌ konojel kakiqꞌalajisaj na ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Dios.”
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
Xaq jeriꞌ chiqajujunal kaqabꞌij na cho ri Dios ri qabꞌanom.
13 Therefore let us not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way, or an occasion for falling.
Xaq jeriꞌ chujtanal chuqꞌatik tzij pa taq qawiꞌ chiqajujunal. Are utz we man kaqakoj topibꞌal aqanaj chike ri alaxik.
14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Ri in qas jeqel na kꞌuꞌx chirij ri Ajawxel Jesús, chi man kꞌo ta jun jastaq ri awas utijik pa rech wi. We kꞌu ne kꞌo jun kuchomaj chi awas utijik jun jastaq xaq xwi awas riꞌ che ri winaq ri jeriꞌ kachomanik.
15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
We kꞌu rumal ri jastaq tijowik rij kayojtaj ri awachalal, man tajin ta katnoꞌjin riꞌ rukꞌ loqꞌanik. Man kabꞌan ta kꞌax che ri awachalal rumal rech ri tijowik rij, jeriꞌ rumal cher ri Cristo xkam rumal re ri awachalal.
16 Then do not let your good be slandered,
Pa jun tzij chik, miya bꞌe chi itzel kabꞌan chutzijoxik ri utzilal ri kibꞌano.
17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Rumal kꞌu cher pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios, man are taj sibꞌalaj choqꞌaqꞌ ri katijik xuqujeꞌ ri kaqumuxik, xane are sibꞌalaj choqꞌaqꞌ ubꞌanik ri sukꞌal, jaꞌmaril, kiꞌkotemal pa ri Uxlabꞌixel.
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.
Ri winaq ri jewaꞌ kubꞌan chupatanixik ri Cristo, kaqaj cho ri Dios xuqujeꞌ kabꞌix na che kumal ri achyabꞌ chi utz ri tajin kubꞌano.
19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
Xaq jeriꞌ are qabꞌana ri jastaq ri katobꞌan chukꞌamik loq jaꞌmaril xuqujeꞌ ri kubꞌan utz chike nikꞌaj chik.
20 Do not overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for anyone who creates a stumbling block by eating.
Mabꞌan kꞌax che ri uchak ri Dios rumal rech ri jastaq tijowik rij. Ronojel ri jastaq ri tijowik rij chꞌajchꞌoj, kꞌax kꞌu riꞌ we ketzaq pa mak nikꞌaj chik xa rumal ri jastaq ri kutij jun.
21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, or do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
Sibꞌalaj utz riꞌ we man katij tiꞌj, o vino, xuqujeꞌ xapaskux jastaq ri xaq topibꞌal aqanaj che ri alaxik, jeriꞌ rech man itzel taj kunaꞌo rech man kel ta kanoq pa ri ukojobꞌal.
22 The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which he approves.
We kꞌo akojobꞌal, chakojoꞌ rech katqaj cho ri Dios. Utz rech ri man kuqꞌat ta tzij puꞌwiꞌ chibꞌil ribꞌ rukꞌ ri uchomabꞌal.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
Are kꞌu ri xaq kebꞌ ukꞌuꞌx kutij ri jastaq, kaqꞌat na tzij puꞌwiꞌ, rumal cher man tajin ta kutij ri jastaq rukꞌ ukojobꞌal, ronojel ri jastaq ri man rukꞌ taj kojobꞌal katijik, makaj riꞌ.
