Romatɔwo 14
1 Mixɔ nɔvi ɖe sia ɖe si adi be yeage ɖe hamea me la nyuie, ne eƒe xɔse mesẽ ŋu o hã. Migahe nya ɖe eŋu le eƒe susu siwo to vovo tso mia tɔwo gbɔ la ŋu le nu si nyo alo nu si menyo o la ta o.
Him that is weak in his faith receive with kindness, and not to pass judgment on his thoughts.
2 Migahe nya kple ame aɖeke be enyo be wòaɖu lã si wotsɔ sa vɔe na legbawo loo alo menyo o. Mixɔe se be nu vɔ̃ aɖeke mele nu sia me o, ke ame siwo ƒe xɔse gbɔdzɔ wu mia tɔ la buna be menyo o, eye woagbe lãɖuɖu kura aɖu amagbewo ko ɖe lã ma tɔgbi ɖuɖu teƒe.
One man hath faith to eat every kind of food; another, who is weak, eateth herbs only.
3 Mele be ame siwo buna be enyo be woaɖu lã ma tɔgbi la nado vlo ame siwo mebuna nenema o. Ne mienye ame siwo meɖunɛ o la, migaɖe vodada na ame siwo aɖui o. Elabena Mawu xɔ wo be woanye ye viwo.
Let not him who eateth, despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not, judge him that eateth; for God hath received him.
4 Mawu ƒe subɔlawo wonye, menye miawo ƒe subɔlawo wonye o. Mawue wole agbe na, menye miawoe wole agbe na o. Mina Mawu nana woanya ne wo tɔ dzɔ loo alo wo tɔ medzɔ o. Mawu ate ŋu ana woawɔ nu si wòle be woawɔ la.
Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? To his own lord he standeth or falleth; and he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 Ame aɖewo buna be ele be woawɔ kristotɔwo ƒe ŋkekenyuiwo kple ŋkeke tɔxɛwo ŋu dɔ atsɔ asubɔ Mawu, ke ame aɖewo gblɔ be menyo o, eye wònye abunɛnu be woaɖe fu na ame ɖokui nenema, elabena ŋkeke sia ŋkeke nye Mawu tɔ. Ele be ame sia ame natso nya siawo tɔgbi me na eɖokui.
One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike: let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord;
6 Ne ŋkeke tɔxɛwo le mia si hena Aƒetɔ la subɔsubɔ la, miele agbagba dzem be yewoade bubu eŋu, eye wònye nu nyui aɖe miele wɔwɔm. Nenema kee nye ame si ɖu lã si wotsɔ sa vɔe na legbawo; eda akpe na Mawu ɖe eta. Eya hã wɔe nyuie. Ame si madi be yeaɖu lã ma tɔgbi o la hã di be yeadze Aƒetɔ la ŋu, eye wòle akpe dam.
and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth thanks to God; and he that doth not eat, to the Lord he doth not eat, and giveth thanks to God.
7 Menye aƒetɔwo míenye na mía ɖokuiwo, be míanɔ agbe alo aku abe ale si míawo ŋutɔ míatia ene o.
For none of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself.
8 Ne míele agbe la, míele agbe na Aƒetɔ la; eye ne míeku la, míeku na Aƒetɔ la. Eya ta ne míele agbe alo míeku la, Aƒetɔ la tɔe míenye.
For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Whether then we live or die, we are the Lord's.
9 Nu sia tututu tae Kristo ku, eye wògatsi tsitre ɖo, ale be wòate ŋu anye míaƒe Aƒetɔ le agbe kple ku me.
For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
10 Mèkpɔ mɔ nàɖe vodada na nɔviwò alo nàdo vloe o. Ɖo ŋku edzi be mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe atsi tsitre ɖe Mawu ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpui la ŋgɔ.
But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? And thou, too, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.
11 Elabena woŋlɔe ɖi be, “Yehowa be, ‘Zi ale si mele agbe la, ame sia ame adze klo nam, eye aɖe sia aɖe aʋu nya me na Mawu.’”
For it is written, “As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall give praise to God.”
12 Nyateƒe, ame sia ame ana akɔnta tso eɖokui ŋu na Mawu.
So then every one of us will give account of himself to God.
13 Eya ta mègaɖe vodada na nɔviwò azɔ o. Le esia teƒe la, dze agbagba, eye nànɔ agbe, ale be mànye nuɖiaɖia na nɔviwò ne ekpɔ wò nèle nu si eya bu be menyo o la wɔm o.
Let us then no longer judge one another; but let this rather be your judgment, not to put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall, in a brother's way.
14 Le nye ŋutɔ gome la, meka ɖe Aƒetɔ Yesu ƒe ŋusẽ dzi be naneke megblẽ le lã si wotsɔ sa vɔe na legbawo la ɖuɖu ŋu o. Ke ne ame aɖe ya xɔe se be menyo o la, ekema mele be wòaɖui o, elabena menyo le eya gbɔ o.
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him that accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Eye ne nu si nàɖu anye nuɖiaɖia na nɔviwò la, mèle nu wɔm le lɔlɔ̃ me, ne èɖui o. Mègana wò nuɖuɖu nagblẽ nu le ame si ta Kristo ku ɖo la ŋu o.
For if on account of food thy brother is made to mourn, thou art no longer walking according to love. Do not with thy food destroy him for whom Christ died.
16 Mègawɔ nu si ana amewo naɖe vodada na wò o, togbɔ be ènya be nu si yewɔ la nyo hafi hã.
Let not then the blessing which ye enjoy be evil spoken of.
17 Elabena mawufiaɖuƒe la menye nu si míeɖu alo nu si míeno o, ke boŋ be míana Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la nana amenuveve, ŋutifafa kple dzidzɔ mí.
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
18 Ne miesubɔ Kristo le nu siawo me la, dzi adzɔ Mawu, eye ame bubuwo hã akpɔ dzidzɔ.
for he who in this matter serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved by men.
19 Eya ta mina ŋutifafa nanɔ hamea me, eye miadze agbagba ado ŋusẽ mia nɔewo.
Let us then strive to promote peace, and the edification of each other.
20 Migana lãkɔ ɖeka nagblẽ Mawu ƒe dɔwɔwɔ me o. Miɖo ŋku edzi be naneke megblẽ le lã ŋu o, ke enye nu vɔ̃ be nàɖui, eye wòazu nuɖiaɖia na ame bubu.
Do not for the sake of food undo the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but that which is pure is evil for that man who eateth so as to be an occasion of sin.
21 Nu nyuitɔ si nàwɔ lae nye be nàɖe asi le lãɖuɖu alo ahanono alo nu sia nu si wɔwɔ aɖia nɔviwò nu alo ana wòawɔ nu vɔ̃ la ŋu.
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is put in danger of falling, or is made weak.
22 Ànya be nu gbegblẽ aɖeke mele nu si yewɔ la ŋu le Mawu gɔ̃ hã gbɔ o, ke wɔe na ɖokuiwò ko. Mègaɖe wò nu si nèxɔ se be enyo la fia le ame bubu siwo nu wòaɖia la ŋkume o. Le go sia me la, woayra ame si mewɔ nu vɔ̃ to nu si wònya be enyo la wɔwɔ me o.
Thou hast faith; have it to thyself before God. Happy is he who doth not condemn himself in that which he alloweth.
23 Ke ame sia ame si xɔ se be nu si yedi be yeawɔ menyo o la, mele be wòawɔe o. Ne ewɔe la, ewɔ nu vɔ̃, elabena ebu be menyo o, eya ta nua menyo na eya o. Nu sia nu si wòawɔ to nu si wònya be enyo gbɔ la nye nu vɔ̃.
But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because he doeth it not from faith; but every thing which is not from faith is sin.
