Romans 14
1 And him who is weak in the faith receive ye — not to determinations of reasonings;
Ko ia ʻoku vaivai ʻi he tui mou maʻu, kae ʻikai ʻi he fakakikihi taʻeʻaonga.
2 one doth believe that he may eat all things — and he who is weak doth eat herbs;
He ʻoku tui ʻae tokotaha ʻoku ngofua ʻene kai ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē: ka ko e tokotaha ʻoku vaivai, ʻoku kai mei he ngoue [pē].
3 let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.
Ke ʻoua naʻa manuki ʻaia ʻoku kai kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai kai; pea ʻoua naʻa fakamaau ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai kai kiate ia ʻoku kai: he kuo maʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua.
4 Thou — who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
Ko hai koe, ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata kehe? ʻOku ʻi heʻene ʻeiki pē ʻaʻana ʻa ʻene tuʻu pe hinga. ʻIo, ʻe poupou hake ia: he ʻoku mafai ʻe he ʻOtua ke fakatuʻumaʻu ia.
5 One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day [alike]; let each in his own mind be fully assured.
ʻOku manako ʻe he tangata ʻe taha ki he ʻaho ʻe taha ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha: ka ko e taha kehe ʻoku manako pē ia ki he ʻaho kotoa pē. Ke fifili pau pē ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi hono loto ʻoʻona.
6 He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard [it], and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.
Ko ia ʻoku ne tokanga ki he ʻaho, ʻoku ne tokanga ki ai koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ki he ʻaho, ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ki ai ia koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki. Ko ia ʻoku kai, ʻoku ne kai koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki, pea ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne kai, ʻoku ʻikai te ne kai koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki, pea ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua.
7 For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;
He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻiate kitautolu ʻoku moʻui kiate ia pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku mate kiate ia pē.
8 for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's;
He kapau ʻoku tau moʻui, ʻoku tau moʻui ki he ʻEiki; pea kapau ʻoku tau mate, ʻoku tau mate ki he ʻEiki: ko ia, ka tau ka moʻui, pe mate, ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻakitautolu.
9 for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.
He ko eni ʻae meʻa naʻe pekia ai ʻa Kalaisi, mo toetuʻu, ʻo toe moʻui, koeʻuhi ke ʻEiki ia ki he mate mo e moʻui.
10 And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;
Ka ko e hā ʻoku ke fakamaau ai ho tokoua? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke manuki ai ki ho tokoua? He te tau tutuʻu kotoa pē ʻi he fakamaauʻanga ʻo Kalaisi.
11 for it hath been written, 'I live! saith the Lord — to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'
He kuo tohi, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, Ko au ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe peluki ʻae tui kotoa pē kiate au, pea ʻe vete ʻae ʻelelo kotoa pē ki he ʻOtua.”
12 so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;
Ko ia te tau fakamatala atu taki taha kotoa pē ia ki he ʻOtua.
13 no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.
Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa tau kei fefakamaauʻaki ʻakitautolu: kae fakamaau muʻa eni, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻai ʻe ha taha ha tūkiaʻanga pe ha meʻa ke fakahinga ʻaki ʻa hono tokoua.
14 I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean — to that one [it is] unclean;
ʻOku ou ʻilo, pea kuo u maʻu pau mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku taʻemaʻa tuʻungaʻa pē: ka ko ia ʻoku ne lau ha meʻa ko e taʻemaʻa, ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate ia.
15 and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.
Pea kapau ʻoku mamahi ho tokoua koeʻuhi ko e meʻakai, ʻoku ʻikai ai te ke laka ʻo taau mo e ʻofa. ʻOua naʻa ke fakaʻauha ia ʻaki hoʻo meʻakai, ʻaia naʻe pekia ai ʻa Kalaisi.
16 Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,
Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa tuku ke lauʻikoviʻi ʻa hoʻomou lelei.
17 for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
He ko e puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻakai pe ko e inu; ka ko e māʻoniʻoni, mo e melino, mo e fiefia ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
18 for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tauhi ʻa Kalaisi ʻi ʻaonga ia ki he ʻOtua, pea lelei ki he kakai.
19 So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;
Ko ia ke tau tuli ki he ngaahi meʻa fakamelino, mo e ngaahi meʻa te tau felangaʻaki hake ai ʻakitautolu.
20 for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling.
ʻOua naʻa ke maumau ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko e meʻakai. Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; ka ko e kovi ia ki he tangata ko ia ʻoku ne kai ke fakahalaʻi.
21 Right [it is] not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to [do anything] in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.
ʻOku lelei ke ʻoua naʻa kai kakano, pe inu uaine, pe fai ha meʻa ʻe humu ai ho tokoua, pe tūkia ai, pe vaivai ai.
22 Thou hast faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,
ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae tui? Maʻu ia kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua. ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku ʻikai ke valokiʻi ia ʻe hono loto ʻi he meʻa ko ia ʻoku ne fai.
23 and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.
Ka ko ia ʻoku lotolotoua, ʻoku halaia ia, ʻo kapau te ne kai, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai [kai ia ]ʻi he tui: he ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tui, ko e angahala ia.
