Romans 14
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
Se pou n' resevwa moun ki fèb nan konfyans yo byen san nou pa bezwen diskite openyon yo genyen.
2 One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
Men yon egzanp: Gen moun ki kwè li kapab manje tout bagay; gen lòt ki fèb nan konfyans yo epi ki manje legim ase.
3 Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
Moun ki manje tout manje pa fèt pou meprize moun ki pa manje tout manje. Konsa tou, moun ki pa manje tout manje pa fèt pou jije moun ki manje tout manje, paske Bondye asepte ni yonn ni lòt jan yo ye a.
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 God has power to make him stand.
Ki moun ou ye konsa pou w'ap jije domestik lòt moun? Kit domestik la kenbe fèm nan sèvis la, kit li tonbe, sa se zafè ki gade mèt li ase. Men, pa pè, li gen pou l' kenbe fèm, paske Seyè a gen pouvwa pou l' soutni li.
5 One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
M'ap pran yon lòt egzanp: Gen moun ki kwè gen jou ki pi konsekan pase lòt. Gen lòt ki di tout jou se menm. Se pou chak moun gen konviksyon pa yo.
6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
Moun ki kwè yon jou pi konsekan pase lòt, li fè sa pa respè pou Mèt la menm jan ak moun ki manje tout manje a, li fè sa pa respè pou Mèt la paske li di Bondye mèsi pou manje a. Moun ki pa manje tout manje a, li fè sa tou pa respè pou Mèt la, paske li menm tou, li di Bondye mèsi.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
Se konsa, pa gen yon sèl moun nan nou k'ap viv pou tèt pa li. Pa gen yonn nan nou tou k'ap mouri pou tèt pa li. Paske si n'ap viv, n'ap viv pou Seyè a,
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.
si n'ap mouri, n'ap mouri pou Seyè a tou. Konsa, kit nou vivan, kit nou mouri, se pou Seyè a nou ye.
9 For to this end Messiah died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
Paske, Kris la te mouri, apre sa li leve soti vivan ankò pou l' te kapab Mèt tout moun, ni moun vivan yo ni moun mouri yo.
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 Messiah.
Men ou menm, pouki pou w'ap jije frè ou konsa? Ou menm, pouki pou w'ap meprize frè ou konsa? Nou tout gen pou konparèt devan tribinal Bondye a.
11 For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
Paske men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Mèt la di: Jan nou konnen mwen vivan an vre, konsa tou, tout moun gen pou mete ajenou devan mwen. Nan tout lang moun va pale byen fò pou rekonèt pouvwa Bondye.
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
Se konsa, chak moun gen pou rann Bondye kont pou tèt pa yo.
13 Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
Ann sispann yonn ap jije lòt. Pito nou pran desizyon pou n' pa fè anyen ki kapab fè frè nou bite osinon tonbe nan peche.
14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Yeshua that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Paske, mwen menm k'ap viv ansanm avèk Seyè Jezi a, mwen sèten pa gen anyen nan sa yo di ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ki soti tou konsa nan men Bondye. Si yon moun kwè yon bagay pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye, bagay la pa bon pou li paske li mete sa nan tèt li.
15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died.
Si ou fè frè ou lapenn pou tèt yon manje ou manje, ou pa gen renmen nan kè ou pou frè ou. Piga ou kite manje w'ap manje a lakòz yon frè pèdi sou kont ou, paske li menm Kris la te mouri pou l' te ka sove l' tou.
16 Then don’t let your good be slandered,
Sa ki byen pou ou pa dwe yon okazyon pou fè yo pale ou mal.
17 for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Gouvènman Bondye ki wa a, se pa yon afè manje ak bwè, men se yon keksyon fè sa ki byen, viv ak kè poze ak kè kontan. Bagay sa yo, se Sentespri ki bay yo.
18 For he who serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
Moun k'ap sèvi Kris la konsa, se yo ki fè Bondye plezi. Tout moun ap dakò ak sa.
19 So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
Se sak fè, ann toujou chache bagay ki kapab ede nou viv ak kè poze, bagay ki pou penmèt nou yonn soutni lòt nan konfyans nou nan Bondye.
20 Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
Piga kraze travay Bondye a poutèt yon keksyon manje. Nou ka manje tout manje, se vre. Men, sa pa bon pou nou manje kichòy ki ka lakòz yon frè tonbe nan peche.
21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
Sa ki byen an, se lè ou pa manje vyann, ni bwè diven, ni fè okenn lòt bagay ki kapab fè frè ou tonbe nan peche.
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
Sa ou kwè ou menm sou sa, gade l' pou tèt ou devan Bondye. benediksyon pou yon moun ki pa santi l' koupab lè l'ap fè sa li kwè li dwe fè.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
Men, moun ki gen doutans sou sa l'ap manje a, Bondye kondannen l' lè l' manje l', paske li aji san konviksyon. Tout sa ou fè san konviksyon se peche.
