Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye, —not for disputing opinions: —
Mumposhelanje Nkilishitu akaakulupalila ukoto, nnaiibhukanje nkutaukangana ga ng'aniyo yakwe.
2 One, indeed, hath faith to eat all things, whereas, he that is weak, eateth herbs:
Mundu juna kwa ngulupai jakwe, analya indu yowe, na juna kwa ngulupai jakwe jikanabhe komala, analya lipondape.
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 received him.
Mundu alya indu yowe anannyegaye mundu akalya indu yowe, wala jwene akaapinga kulya shindu shina, ananng'ukumule alya indu yowe, pabha a Nnungu bhannjitishiye.
4 Who art, thou, that judgest another’s domestic? To his own master, he standeth or falleth; he shall, however, be made to stand, —for his master is able to make him stand.
Ugwe gani ukunng'ukumula ntumishi juka mundu juna? Ajimaga eu agwaga, genego ga Bhakulungwa bhakwe. Numbe shajime, pabha Bhakulungwa shibhannjimishe.
5 [For], one, indeed esteemeth one day beyond another, whereas, another, esteemeth every day: —let, each one, in his own mind be fully persuaded.
Mundu juna paganishiya kuti, lipali lyubha lya mmbone lya tindibhalila punda mobha gana, na juna paganishiya kuti, mobha gowe ganalingana. Bhai kila mundu akagule lunda lwakwe.
6 He that regardeth the day, unto the Lord, regardeth it, —and, he that eateth, unto the Lord, doth eat, for he giveth thanks unto God; and, he that eateth not, unto the Lord, doth not eat and give God thanks.
Aganishiya kuti lyubha lina lya mmbone kaje, anatenda nneyo kwa ligongo lya kwaakuya Bhakulungwa, na jwene alya kila shalya, analya kwa kwaakuya Bhakulungwa, pabha anakwaatendela eja a Nnungu. Na jwalakwe akalya shalya shina anatenda nneyo kwa ligongo lya kwaakuya Bhakulungwa, na jwalakwe anakwaatendela eja a Nnungu.
7 For, none of us, unto himself liveth, and, none, unto himself dieth;
Pabha jwakwa mundu munkumbi gwetu alama kwa pinga nnyene, wala jwakwa awa kwapinga nnyene.
8 For both, if we live, unto the Lord, we live, and, if we die, unto the Lord, we die; whether therefore we live, the Lord’s, we are; or whether we die, the Lord’s, we are;
Monaga tunalama, tulama kwa ligongo lya Bhakulungwa, eu tuwaga, tunawa kwa ligongo lya Bhakulungwa. Bhai, monaga tulamaga eu tuwaga, uwe tubhabho Bhakulungwa.
9 For, to this end, Christ died and lived, in order that, both of dead and living, he might have lordship.
Kwa lyene ligongoli, a Kilishitu bhashinkuwa na yuka, nkupinga bhabhe Bhakulungwa bha bhakotonji na bha bhawilenje.
10 But, thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto the judgment seat of God;
Kwa nndi mmwe nnakwaukumula apwenu? Eu numbe mmwe kwa nndi nnakwanyegaya apwenu? Pabha uwe tubhowe shitujime mmujo ja shitengu sha ukumu sha a Nnungu.
11 For it is written—Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto God.
Pabha Mmajandiko Bhakulungwa bhakuti, “Malinga shingulama shino, bhakuti Bhakulungwa, kila mundu shandindibhalile ulungolungo, na kila mundu shakunde kuti nne ni a Nnungu.”
12 Hence, [then], each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.
Kwa nneyo, kila mundu munkumbi gwetu, shailugule nnyene kwa a Nnungu.
13 No longer, then, upon one another, let us be sitting in judgment, but, this, judge ye rather—not to be putting a cause of stumbling before your brother or an occasion to fall.
Bhai tunaukumulane, ikabhe tutumbilile kuleka indu ya kunnebhya mmpwetu.
14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus—that, nothing, is profane of itself, —save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, [it is] profane,
Kwa lundana kwangu na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, kunandenda nimumanye kuti, shakwa shalya shili sha nyata tandubhilepe, ikabheje mundu ashibhonaga shalya shina kuti sha nyata, bhai, kuka jwenejo shene shalyasho sha nyata.
15 If, in fact, because of food, thy brother is being grieved, no longer, by the rule of love, art thou walking: —do not, by thy food, that man, be destroying, on whose behalf Christ died!
Monaga shimummulaye mmpwenu kuinjika kwa ligongo lya shalya shinkulya, bhai, nshileka kupingana. Shalya shenu shinabhe shiumilo sha kunng'obhya mundu, jubhanng'wilile a Kilishitu.
16 Therefore, suffer not to be defamed, your own good thing;
Bhai nnakundanje shindu shinkushibhonanga sha mmbone shinyegaywe.
17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit;
Kulya na papila nngabha shindu Muupalume gwa a Nnungu, ikabhe ga aki na ulele na angalala kutupegwa naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ni shipinjikwa muupalume gwa a Nnungu.
18 For, he that in this doeth service unto the Christ, is acceptable unto God, and approved unto men.
Pabha akwaatumishila a Kilishitu shana nneyo, anakwaanonyeya a Nnungu na anakundwa na bhandunji.
19 Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another:
Bhai ibhaga nneyo, tukagulile indu ipeleshela ulele na ya tagana ntima.
20 Do not, for the sake of food, be throwing down the work of God! All things, indeed, are pure; but, ill, is it for the man who with occasion of stumbling doth eat, —
Bhai nnaangabhanye ngulupai jibhabhishile a Nnungu kuka mundu ga shalya. Ikabheje nngabha ya mmbone, mundu jojowe kulya shalya shikuntenda mundu nnjakwe alebhe alyaga shene shalyasho.
21 Well, is it not to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor [to do aught] whereby thy brother is caused to stumble.
Mbaya leka kulya nnyama wala ng'wa divai eu tenda shindu shoshowe, sha kunnebhya mpwenu.
22 The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth;
Bhai, shoshowe shinkukulupalila kwa a Nnungu bhenu, nntende shenesho. Mbaya jwene mundu akakwiukumula nnyene, kwa shindu shakushibhona kuti sha aki.
23 But, he that is in doubt, if he eat, hath condemned himself, —because, [it was] not of faith, and, everything which is not of faith, is sin.
Ikabheje mundu akola lipamba, alyaga shalya akuno aliganishiya kuti shangali sha mmbone, anatenda shambi pabha jwangalya kwa kulupalila ngulupai jakwe. Na shindu shoshowe shitendeka gwangali ngulupai, ni yambi.
