Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye, —not for disputing opinions: —
Zvino ane utera parutendo mugamuchirei, kwete negakava pamaonero.
2 One, indeed, hath faith to eat all things, whereas, he that is weak, eateth herbs:
Umwe anotenda kudya zvese, asi ane utera anodya miriwo.
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.
Anodya ngaarege kuzvidza asingadyi, uye asingadyi ngaarege kutonga anodya; nokuti Mwari wakamugamuchira.
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.
Iwe ndiwe ani anotonga muranda weumwe? Anomira kana kuwa kuna ishe wake pachake. Achamiswa zvirokwazvo; nokuti Mwari anogona kumumisa.
5 [For], one, indeed esteemeth one day beyond another, whereas, another, esteemeth every day: —let, each one, in his own mind be fully persuaded.
Umwe anotemera zuva kupfuura rimwe zuva; umwe anotemera zuva rimwe nerimwe zvakafanana. Umwe neumwe ngaazivisise mumurangariro wake pachake.
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.
Uyo anorangarira zuva, anorirangarira muna Ishe; neasingarangariri zuva, haarangariri muna Ishe; anodya anodya kuna Ishe, nokuti anovonga Mwari; uye asingadyi haadyi muna Ishe, uye anovonga Mwari.
7 For, none of us, unto himself liveth, and, none, unto himself dieth;
Nokuti hakuna umwe kwatiri anozviraramira, uye hakuna anozvifira.
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;
Nokuti kana tichirarama, tinoraramira Ishe; uye kana tichifa, tinofira Ishe; naizvozvo kana tichirarama, kana tichifa, tiri vaIshe.
9 For, to this end, Christ died and lived, in order that, both of dead and living, he might have lordship.
Nokuti naKristu wakafira izvozvi, uye akamuka, akararamazve kuti ave Ishe wevese vakafa nevapenyu.
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;
Zvino iwe unotongerei hama yako? Kana newe unozvidzirei hama yako? Nokuti isu tese tichamira pamberi pechigaro chekutonga chaKristu.
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.
Nokuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Ini ndinorarama, anodaro Ishe; ibvi rimwe nerimwe richandifugamira, nerurimi rumwe nerumwe rwuchabvuma kuna Mwari.
12 Hence, [then], each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.
Naizvozvo zvino umwe neumwe wedu achazvidavirira pachake kuna Mwari.
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.
Naizvozvo ngatirege kuva tichatongana; asi zviri nani mutonge izvi, kuti tisaisira hama chigumbuso kana chipinganidzo.
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,
Ndinoziva uye ndine chokwadi muna Ishe Jesu, kuti hakuna chinhu chakasviba pachacho; asi kune uyo anofunga kuti chakasviba, kwaari chakasviba.
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!
Asi kana hama yako ichishungurudzwa nekudya, hauchafambi maererano nerudo. Usamuparadza nekudya kwako, uyo Kristu waakafira.
16 Therefore, suffer not to be defamed, your own good thing;
Naizvozvo zvakanaka zvenyu ngazvirege kunyombwa.
17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit;
Nokuti ushe hwaMwari hahusi kudya nechinwiwa, asi kururama nerugare nemufaro muMweya Mutsvene.
18 For, he that in this doeth service unto the Christ, is acceptable unto God, and approved unto men.
Nokuti anoshumira Kristu pazvinhu izvi, anogamuchirika kuna Mwari, uye anotendwa kuvanhu.
19 Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another:
Naizvozvo zvino ngatitsvakisise zvinhu zverugare, nezvinhu zvekuvakana.
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, —
Rega kuparadza basa raMwari nekuda kwekudya. Zvese zvakachena, asi zvakaipa kumunhu anodya nechigumbuso.
21 Well, is it not to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor [to do aught] whereby thy brother is caused to stumble.
Zvakanaka kusadya nyama, kana kunwa waini, kana chimwe hama yako chaingagumburwa nacho kana kukanganiswa kana kushaiwa simba.
22 The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth;
Iwe une rutendo here? Iva narwo pachako pamberi paMwari. Wakaropafadzwa asingazvitongi pachinhu chaanotendera.
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.
Asi asina chokwadi, kana achidya, wava nemhosva, nokuti haadyi nerutendo; uye chese chisingabvi parutendo, chivi.
