< Romans 14 >

1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
Nabatanụ ndị okwukwe ha na-esighị ike nʼetiti unu. Ma ọ bụghị nʼihi ise okwu banyere ihe ntule nke obi.
2 One person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.
Otu onye nwere okwukwe iri ihe niile, ma onye na-adịghị ike nʼokwukwe, na-eri naanị ahịhịa nri.
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.
Onye ahụ na-eri ihe niile e kwesighị ileda onye jụrụ iri ya anya. Otu a kwa, onye ahụ nke nʼadịghị eri ihe niile ekwesighị ịma onye na-eri ihe ndị a ikpe. Nʼihi na Chineke anabatala onye ahụ.
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.
Onye ka ị bụ i ji na-ekpe odibo onye ọzọ ikpe? Onye ọ dịrị ikpebi ma odibo ya ọ na-emezi emezi ma ọ dịghị emezi bụ nna ya ukwu. Ma odibo ahụ aghaghị iguzosi ike nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị pụrụ ime ka o guzosie ike.
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.
Otu onye nwere ike na-eche na otu ụbọchị kacha ndị ọzọ na ịdị nsọ, onye nke ọzọ nwekwara ike na-eche na ụbọchị niile bụ otu ihe, ma o kwesiri ka onye ọbụla kpebiere onwe ya.
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.
Onye ọbụla na-eche nʼotu ụbọchị bụ nke pụrụ iche, na-eme nke a nye Onyenwe anyị. Onye ọbụla na-eri otu ihe na-eri ya nʼihi Onyenwe anyị. Ma onye na-adịghị eri otu ihe ahụ na-eme kwa nke a nye Onyenwe anyị. Ma na-enyekwa Chineke ekele.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
Nʼihi na o nweghị onye nʼime anyị na-adịrị naanị onwe ya ndụ, o nwekwaghị onye nʼime anyị na-anwụrụ naanị onwe ya ọnwụ.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na anyị adịrị ndụ, anyị dị ndụ nye Onyenwe anyị; ọ bụrụkwa na anyị anwụọ, anyị nwụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị; ya mere ma anyị dị ndụ ma anyị nwụrụ anwụ, anyị bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.
9 For to this end Christ died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka Kraịst ji nwụọ, ma biliekwa, ka ọ bụrụ Onyenwe nke ndị dị ndụ na nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ.
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.
Ma gị onwe gị, gịnị mere i ji ekpe nwanna gị ikpe? Gịnị mekwara i ji eleda ya anya? Nʼihi na anyị niile ga-eguzo nʼotu nʼotu nʼihu oche ikpe Chineke.
11 For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"
E dere ya, “‘Nʼezie, dịka m na-adị ndụ,’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘ikpere niile ga-egbu nʼihu m; ire niile ga-ekwupụtakwa Chineke.’”
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
E, anyị niile nʼotu nʼotu ga-aza ajụjụ banyere ndụ anyị nʼihu Chineke.
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.
Ya mere, ka anyị kwụsị ikperịta onwe anyị ikpe, kama kpebie nʼime obi gị na i gaghị edochiri nwanna gị ihe ga-eme ka ọ sụọ ngọngọ maọbụ ihe mgbochi nʼụzọ.
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.
Dịka onye nọ nʼime Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, o doro m anya nke ọma na o nweghị ihe ọbụla na-adịghị ọcha na nke onwe ya. Ma ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla na-ahụta ihe ọbụla dịka ihe na-adịghị ọcha, nye onye dị otu a, ihe ahụ adịghị ọcha.
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.
Ọ bụrụkwa na ihe ị na-eri na-ewute nwanna gị, ị naghị egosi na ị hụrụ ya nʼanya. Ekwela ka nri ị na-eri bụrụ ihe ga-ewetara nwanna gị ịla nʼiyi, nʼihi na cheta na ọ bụkwa nʼihi ya ka Kraịst jiri bịa nwụọ.
16 Then do not let your good be slandered,
Ekwela ka ihe ọma gị bụrụ nke a ga-akpọ ajọọ ihe.
17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Nʼihi na alaeze Chineke abụghị oriri na ọṅụṅụ kama ọ bụ ezi omume, na udo na ọṅụ nʼime Mmụọ Nsọ.
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla na-efe Kraịst nʼụzọ dị otu a, na-eme ihe na-atọ Chineke ụtọ, ụmụ mmadụ na-anabatakwa ya.
19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
Ka ihe na-agụsị gị agụụ ike bụrụ ime ihe ga-eweta udo, ya na ime ihe nʼụzọ a ga-esi mee ka e wulie ndị ọzọ elu.
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.
Emebikwala ọrụ Chineke nʼihi nri; nri niile dị ọcha, ma o kwesighị ka onye ọbụla rie ihe ga-eme ka onye ọzọ sụọ ngọngọ.
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.
Ọ ga-akara gị mma ka ị hapụ iri anụ maọbụ ịṅụ mmanya ma ọ bụkwanụ ime ihe ọbụla ga-eme ka nwanna gị sụọ ngọngọ.
22 The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which he approves.
Ya mere, ka okwukwe i nwere banyere ihe ndị a bụrụ nke dị nʼetiti gị na Chineke. Ngọzị na-adịrị onye ọbụla nke na-adịghị ama onwe ya ikpe site nʼihe ọ nabatara.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
Ma onye ọbụla na-eri ihe ọbụla site nʼobi abụọ bụ onye ikpe mara, nʼihi na ọ jighị okwukwe rie ya, nʼihi na ihe ọbụla a na-esiteghị nʼokwukwe mee bụ mmehie.
