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.
Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
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 has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
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.
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.
7 Menye aƒetɔwo míenye na mía ɖokuiwo, be míanɔ agbe alo aku abe ale si míawo ŋutɔ míatia ene o.
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies 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. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore 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 Messiah died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both 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 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.
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,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
12 Nyateƒe, ame sia ame ana akɔnta tso eɖokui ŋu na Mawu.
So then each 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.
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.
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 Yeshua that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers 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.
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.
16 Mègawɔ nu si ana amewo naɖe vodada na wò o, togbɔ be ènya be nu si yewɔ la nyo hafi hã.
Then don’t let your good be slandered,
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 God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, 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 serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 Eya ta mina ŋutifafa nanɔ hamea me, eye miadze agbagba ado ŋusẽ mia nɔewo.
So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
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.
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.
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 to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, 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.
Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
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 who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
