Romans 14
1 I now pass to another subject. Receive as a friend a man whose faith is weak, but not for the purpose of deciding mere matters of opinion.
Munjambelelayi jhejhioha ambajhe ndo dhaifu mu imani, bila kuhomesya hukumu kuhusu mabhuasu gha muene.
2 One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while a man of weaker faith eats nothing but vegetables.
Munu mmonga ajhe ni imani jha kulya kyokyoha, jhongi ambajhe ndo zaifu ilya mbogha siene.
3 Let not him who eats certain food look down upon him who abstains from it, nor him who abstains from it find fault with him who eats it; for God has received both of them.
Munu ambajhe ilya khila khenu asin'jimuli jhaibela kulya khila khenu. Ni muene jhailya lepi khila khenu asin'hukumu muene ambajhe ilya khila khenu. Kwa ndabha K'yara amalikumpokea.
4 Who are you that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand.
Bhebhe ghwe niani, bhebhe jhaukan'hukumu mtumishi ambajhe ndo miliki jha munu jhongi? Ndo palongolo pa K'yara ghwa muene kujha ijhema au ibina. Lakini ibetakujhinulibhwa, kwa kujha Bwana ihotola kunjemesya.
5 One man esteems one day more highly than another; another esteems all days alike. Let every one be thoroughly convinced in his own mind.
Munu mmonga ithamini ligono limonga kuliko l'enge. Jhongi ithamini khila ligono sabhwa. Hebu khila munu na ashawishibhwayi mu luhala lwa muene.
6 He who regards the day as sacred, so regards it for the Master's sake; and he who eats certain food eats it for the Master's sake, for he gives thanks to God; and he who refrains from eating it refrains for the Master's sake, and he also gives thanks to God.
Muene ambajhe ikamula ligono ikamula kwa ndabha jha K'yara. Ni kwa muene jha ilya, ilya kwandabha jha Bwana kwa kujha akampela K'yara shukrani. Muene ambajhe ilya lepi ikwizuilz kubela kulya kwandabha jha Bwana. Muene kabhele ipisya shukrani kwa K'yara.
7 For not one of us lives to himself, and not one dies to himself.
Kwa kujha ajhelepi jhaiishi kwa nafsi jha muene, na ajhelepi jha ifwa kwandabha jha muene.
8 If we live, we live to the Lord: if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Kwa kujha ikajhiajhi twiishi, twiishi kwandabha jha Bwana. Na kama twifwa kwandabha jha Bwana. Basi kama twiishi au twifwa twijha mali gha Bwana.
9 For this was the purpose of Christ's dying and coming to life--namely that He might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
Kwa kujha ndo kwa kusudi e'le Kristu afuili ni kuishi kabhele, kujha ajhelayi. Bwana ghwa bhoha bhafu ni bhaomi.
10 But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;
Lakini bhebhe, kwa ndabha jha kiki ukan'hukumu ndongobhu? Ni bhebhe kwandabha jha kiki ukan'jimula ndongobhu? Kwa kujha tete twebhoha twibetakujhema palongolo pa kiti kya hukumu kya K'yara.
11 for it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall make confession to God.'"
Kwa kujha jhilembibhu, “Kama kyaniishi,” ijobha Bwana, “Kwa nene khila ligoti libetakupigibhwa, ni khila lumihu lwibetakuhomesya sifa kwa K'yara.”
12 So we see that every one of us will give account of himself to God.
Henu basi, khila mmonga bhitu ibetakuhomesya hesabu jha muene kwa K'yara.
13 Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement--that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.
Henu tusijhendeleli kabhele kuhukumiana, lakini badala jhiake amulayi naha, kujha ajhelepi jhaibetakubheka kikwazo au n'teghu kwa ndongomunu.
14 As one who lives in union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am certain that in its own nature no food is 'impure'; but if people regard any food as impure, to them it is.
Nimanyili na nishawishiki kwa Bwana Yesu, kujha khijhelepi khenu kya kijhele najisi kyene. Kwa muene tu jhaidhanila kujha kyokyoha ndo najisi kwa kujha kwa muene ndo najisi.
15 If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died.
Ikajhiajhi kwa ndabha jha kyakulya ndongobhu ihuzunika, wigenda lepi kabhele mu luganu. Usin'haribu kwa kyakulya kyajhobhi munu ambajhe kwandabha jha muene Kristu afuili.
16 Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach.
Hivyo musiruhusu matendo gha muenga manofu ghaghibetakusababisya bhanu kubhadhihaki.
17 For the Kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of right conduct, peace and joy, through the Holy Spirit;
Kwa kujha bhufalme bhwa K'yara sio kwa ndabha jha haki, amani, ni furaha mu Roho Mtakatifu.
18 and whoever in this way devotedly serves Christ, God takes pleasure in him, and men highly commend him.
Kwa kujha muene jha aka'tumikila Kristu kwa namna ejhe ajhedekelibhu ni K'yara na ajhedekelibhu ni bhanu.
19 Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character.
Henu basi, na tukyesiajhi mambo gha amani ni mambo ambagho ghakan'jenga munu jhongi.
20 Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others.
Usijhiharibu mbombo jha K'yara kwandabha jha kyakulya. Fenu fyoha kwa kweli fijhe kinofu, lakini fibhibhi kwa munu jhola ambajhe ilya ni kun'sababishila muene kukhobhala.
21 The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall.
Kinofu kutokulya nyama, bhwala kunywa divai, bhwala kyokyoha ambakyo kwa e'khu ndongobhu idadisibhwa.
22 As for you and your faith, keep your faith to yourself in the presence of God. The man is to be congratulated who does not pronounce judgement on himself in what his actions sanction.
E'se imani maalumu jha ujhe nasu, sibhekayi pagati pa bhebhe ni K'yara. Abarikibhu jhola ambajhe ikwihukumu lepi muene kwa khela kya akakhijhendekela.
23 But he who has misgivings and yet eats meat is condemned already, because his conduct is not based on faith; for all conduct not based on faith is sinful.
Jhaajhe ni mashaka ahukumibhu bho ilya, kwandabha jhitokana lepi ni imani. Ni kyokyoha kyakitokenelepi ni imani ndo dhambi.
