Aroma 14
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa ũkoragwo arĩ na wĩtĩkio mũhũthũ mwamũkĩrei, mũtekũmũtuĩra ciira nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa mataiguanĩirwo.
But receive to yourselves him who is weak in faith, not into disputations of doubtful matters.
2 Wĩtĩkio wa mũndũ ũmwe-rĩ, nĩũmwĩtĩkĩrĩtie kũrĩa irio cia mĩthemba yothe, no mũndũ ũngĩ, ũrĩa ũrĩ wĩtĩkio mũhũthũ, arĩĩaga o mĩthemba ya nyeni.
One indeed believes he is to eat all things: another who is weak, vegetables.
3 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩĩaga mĩthemba yothe ya irio ndakae kũmena mũndũ ũrĩa ũtekaga ũguo, nake mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩĩaga indo imwe-rĩ, ndakae gũtuĩra ciira mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩĩaga ciothe tondũ Ngai nĩamwĩtĩkĩrĩtie.
Let not the one eating snub the one not eating. Let not the one not eating judge the one eating; for God received him.
4 Wee ũkĩrĩ ũ nĩguo ũtuĩre ndungata ya mũndũ ũngĩ ciira? Mwathi wayo nĩwe ũmenyaga ĩrũngiĩ wega kana ĩgwĩte. Nayo nĩĩrĩrũgamaga, tondũ Mwathani nĩwe ũrĩ na ũhoti wa gũtũma ĩrũgame.
Who art thou judging another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls: but he shall stand; for God is able to make him stand.
5 Mũndũ ũmwe-rĩ, onaga ta kũrĩ mũthenya ũmwe mũtheru kũrĩ ĩrĩa ĩngĩ; nake mũndũ ũngĩ akoona mĩthenya yothe no ũndũ ũmwe. O mũndũ nĩemenyere wega na ngoro yake.
For one indeed judges a day above a day: another judges every day (alike); let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 Mũndũ ũrĩa wonaga mũthenya ũmwe ũrĩ wa mwanya-rĩ, ekaga ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani. Nake ũrĩa ũrĩĩaga nyama-rĩ, arĩĩaga nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani, nĩgũkorwo nĩ Ngai acookagĩria ngaatho; nake ũrĩa ũtacirĩĩaga-rĩ, ekaga ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani, na nĩ Ngai acookagĩria ngaatho.
The one regarding the day, regards it to the Lord: the one eating, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and the one not eating, eats not to the Lord, and gives thanks to God.
7 Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ o na ũmwe witũ ũtũũraga nĩ ũndũ wake mwene, na gũtirĩ o na ũmwe witũ ũkuaga nĩ ũndũ wake mwene.
For no one of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself:
8 Nĩ ũndũ tũngĩtũũra muoyo-rĩ, tũtũũraga nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani; na tũngĩkua-rĩ, twakua nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũngĩkorwo tũrĩ muoyo kana tũkuĩte-rĩ, tũrĩ o a Mwathani.
for if indeed we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Then indeed if we live, and if we die, we are the Lord's.
9 Ũhoro ũyũ nĩguo watũmire Kristũ akue na acooke ariũke, nĩguo atuĩke Mwathani wa arĩa akuũ na arĩa marĩ muoyo.
For unto this Christ died, and lives, in order that He may be Lord of the dead and of the living.
10 Wee-rĩ, ũgũtuĩra mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe wanyu ciira nĩkĩ? Kana ũkũmena mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe wanyu nĩkĩ? Nĩgũkorwo ithuothe nĩtũkarũgama mbere ya gĩtĩ gĩa ciira kĩa Ngai.
But why do you judge your neighbor, or indeed why do you discount your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.
11 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Ti-itherũ, o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, iru o rĩothe nĩrĩgaturio mbere yakwa; naruo rũrĩmĩ o ruothe nĩrũkoimbũrĩra Ngai,’ ũguo nĩguo Mwathani ekuuga.”
For it has been written; As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, o ũmwe witũ nĩakaheana ũhoro wake mwene mbere ya Ngai.
Then therefore each one of us shall give an account to God for himself.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtũgĩtige gũtuanĩra ciira ithuĩ ene. Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, kaba mũtue na meciiria manyu atĩ mũtigatũma mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa ithe wanyu ahĩngwo kana agwe njĩra-inĩ.
Then let us no longer judge one another: but rather judge this, not to place before a brother an offence for a stumblingblock.
14 Niĩ nĩmenyete wega biũ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Mwathani Jesũ, atĩ gũtirĩ irio irĩ thaahu cio nyene. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa wonaga kĩndũ ta kĩrĩ thaahu-rĩ, ũcio harĩ we kĩndũ kĩu nĩ kĩrĩ thaahu.
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: except to him who considers it unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Angĩkorwo mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa thoguo nĩekũigua ũũru tondũ wa kĩrĩa ũrĩĩaga-rĩ, wee nĩũtigĩte gũthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya wendani. Tiga gũtũma mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe wanyu ũcio Kristũ aakuĩrĩire oore nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩa ũrarĩa.
But if your brother is grieved on account of your meat, you are no longer walking in divine love. Do not by your meat destroy him for whom Christ died.
16 Mũtikanareke ũndũ ũrĩa muonaga ũrĩ mwega ũtuĩke wa gũcambio.
Let not your good be blasphemed.
17 Nĩgũkorwo ũthamaki wa Ngai ti ũhoro wa kũrĩa na kũnyua, no nĩ wa ũthingu, na thayũ o na gĩkeno iria ciumaga kũrĩ Roho Mũtheru,
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 tondũ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũtungatagĩra Kristũ na njĩra icio nĩakenagia Ngai, o na akoonagwo arĩ mwega nĩ andũ.
For in this the one serving Christ is acceptable to God, and approved unto men.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtwĩkĩragei kĩyo gĩa gwĩkaga maũndũ marĩa marehaga ũhoro wa thayũ na magatũma tuonganĩrĩre hinya.
Then therefore we pursue the things belonging to peace, and edification towards one another.
20 Mũtikanathũkie wĩra wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa irio. Irio ciothe nĩ theru, no rĩrĩ, nĩ ũũru mũndũ kũrĩa kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩa kĩngĩhĩtithia mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ.
Do not destroy the work of God on account of meat. All things are pure; but it is evil to the man who eats with offence:
21 Nĩ kaba kwaga kũrĩa nyama, kana kũnyua ndibei o na kana gwĩka ũndũ ũngĩ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũngĩtũma mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe wanyu ahĩtithio.
it is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ũndũ ũrĩa wĩtĩkĩtie ũkoniĩ maũndũ macio-rĩ, nĩũmenyeke gatagatĩ gaku na Ngai. Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ ũndũ angĩĩcuukĩra nĩ ũndũ wa kĩndũ kĩrĩa onaga kĩrĩ kĩega agĩĩka.
The faith which you have, have it with yourself before God. Happy is the one not judging himself in that which he approves:
23 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ angĩkorwo arĩ na nganja, acooke arĩe irio iria arĩ na nganja nacio, mũndũ ũcio nĩetuĩrĩire ciira, tondũ kũrĩa gwake gũtiumanĩte na wĩtĩkio; naguo ũndũ o wothe ũtoimanĩte na wĩtĩkio nĩ mehia.
but if he may eat doubting, he has been condemned, because it is not of faith; but every thing which is not of faith is sin.
