Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to doubtful disputations.
Boyamba malamu moto oyo alenda te na kondima, na kotiana lisusu tembe te na tina na makanisi.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Moto oyo azali na kondima aliaka bilei nyonso, kasi moto oyo alenda te na kondima aliaka kaka bandunda.
3 Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not, judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Moto oyo aliaka bilei nyonso asengeli te kotiola moto oyo aponaka bilei, mpe moto oyo aponaka bilei asengeli te kosambisa moto oyo aliaka bilei nyonso, pamba te Nzambe asila koyamba ye.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth: and he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.
Boni, ozali nani mpo na kosambisa mosali ya moto mosusu? Atelema to akweya, ezali likambo ya nkolo na ye. Tembe ezali te, akotelema kaka, pamba te Nkolo na ye azali na makoki ya kotelemisa ye.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Moko akanisaka ete mokolo songolo ezali bule koleka mokolo pakala, mpe mosusu akanisaka ete mikolo nyonso ezali kaka ndenge moko: tika ete moto na moto kati na bango andimisama makasi na makanisi na ye.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] to 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.
Moto oyo akesenisaka mikolo asalaka yango mpo na lokumu ya Nkolo. Moto oyo aliaka bilei nyonso asalaka yango mpo na lokumu ya Nkolo, mpe azongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe; mpe moto oyo aponaka bilei asalaka yango mpo na lokumu ya Nkolo, mpe azongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Moko te kati na biso abikaka bomoi mpo na ye moko, mpe moko te akufaka mpo na ye moko.
8 For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Soki tozali kobika bomoi, tozali kobika yango mpo na Nkolo; soki mpe tokufi, tokufi mpo na Nkolo. Yango wana, tobika bomoi to tokufa, tozali kaka bato ya Nkolo.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
Ezali mpo na yango nde Klisto akufaki mpe asekwaki, mpo ete azala Nkolo ya bakufi mpe ya bato ya bomoi.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at naught thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.
Bongo yo, mpo na nini ozali kosambisa to kotiola ndeko na yo? Biso nyonso tokotelema na esambiselo ya Nzambe mpo na kosamba.
11 For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Pamba te ekomama: « Na Kombo na Ngai, » elobi Nkolo, « mabolongo nyonso ekofukama liboso na Ngai, mpe minoko nyonso ekotatola Nzambe. »
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Boye, moko na moko kati na biso akosamba liboso ya Nzambe mpo na makambo na ye moko.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.
Yango wana, totika kosambisana biso na biso. Nzokande, bosalela mayele na bino te mpo na kobetisa ndeko moko libaku to mpo na kokweyisa ye.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean.
Nayebi mpe nandimisami kati na Nkolo Yesu ete eloko ya mbindo ezalaka te. Nzokande, soki moto moko amoni ete eloko songolo ezali mbindo, wana ezali mbindo mpo na ye.
15 But if thy brother is grieved with [thy] food, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy food, for whom Christ died.
Boye soki, likolo ya bilei, ozali koyokisa ndeko na yo motema pasi, wana ozali lisusu kotambola na bolingo te. Likolo ya bilei, kobungisa te ndeko na yo, oyo Klisto akufelaki.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Yango wana, tika ete bolamu na bino etiolama te.
17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Pamba te Bokonzi ya Nzambe ezali te likambo ya kolia to ya komela, kasi ezali nde likambo ya bosembo, ya kimia mpe ya esengo kati na Molimo Mosantu.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ, [is] acceptable to God, and approved by men.
Moto oyo asalelaka Klisto na lolenge oyo asepelisaka Nzambe, mpe bato bandimaka ye.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.
Yango wana, tolukaka tango nyonso makambo oyo ememaka kimia mpe elendisaka bamoko mpe bamosusu kati na kondima.
20 For the sake of food, destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offense.
Kobebisa mosala ya Nzambe te likolo ya biloko ya kolia. Solo, biloko nyonso ezali peto, kasi ezali mabe kolia eloko oyo ekoki kobetisa moto mosusu libaku.
21 [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] by which thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Likambo oyo eleki malamu ezali: koboya kolia misuni, koboya komela vino, koboya kosala eloko nyonso oyo ekoki kobetisa ndeko na yo libaku.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Boye, batela mpo na yo moko liboso ya Nzambe, kondima oyo ozali na yango. Esengo na moto oyo amikweyisaka te na nzela ya makambo oyo andimaka!
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eateth, because [he eateth] not from faith: for whatever [is] not from faith is sin.
Kasi moto oyo alie, wana motema na ye ezali kopamela ye, asili kokweyisama na miso ya Nzambe, pamba te asali te kolanda kondima na ye; mpe nyonso oyo esalemaka te kolanda kondima ezali lisumu.
