Ròm 14
1 Se pou n' resevwa moun ki fèb nan konfyans yo byen san nou pa bezwen diskite openyon yo genyen.
Receive him who is weak in the faith, without regard to differences of opinions.
2 Men yon egzanp: Gen moun ki kwè li kapab manje tout bagay; gen lòt ki fèb nan konfyans yo epi ki manje legim ase.
One, indeed, believes he may eat everything; but he who is weak eats herbs only.
3 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.
Let not him who eats, despise him who eats not; and let not him who eats not, condemn him who eats: for God has received him.
4 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.
Who are you that condemn another man's servant? By his own master he stands or falls; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
5 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.
One, indeed, thinks one day more holy than another: but another thinks every day alike. Let every one be convinced in his own mind.
6 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.
He who observes the day, observe it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day to the Lord, does not observe it: he who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks.
7 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,
For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.
8 si n'ap mouri, n'ap mouri pou Seyè a tou. Konsa, kit nou vivan, kit nou mouri, se pou Seyè a nou ye.
But whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live, therefore, ot die, we are the Lord's.
9 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.
For to this end, Christ both dies and rose, and lives again, that he might rule over both the dead and the living.
10 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.
But you, why do you condemn your brother? and you, also, why do you despise your brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 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.
For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, surely every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
12 Se konsa, chak moun gen pou rann Bondye kont pou tèt pa yo.
Well, then, every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.
13 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.
Let us, therefore, no more judge one another; but let us decide, rather, not to lay an occasion of stumbling before a brother, or a cause of falling.
14 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.
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; yet, to him who accounts anything to be unclean, to that man it is unclean.
15 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.
Now, if your brother be hurt through your meat, you no longer walk as love requires. Do not destroy him with your meat for whom Christ died.
16 Sa ki byen pou ou pa dwe yon okazyon pou fè yo pale ou mal.
Let not your good, then, be an evil spoken of.
17 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.
For the Reign of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness and peace, and joy, in the Holy Spirit.
18 Moun k'ap sèvi Kris la konsa, se yo ki fè Bondye plezi. Tout moun ap dakò ak sa.
And he who, by these things, serves Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved by men.
19 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.
Well, then, let us strive after peace, and mutual edification.
20 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.
Do not, for the sake of meat, destroy the work of God. All meats, indeed, are clean; but that meat is hurtful to the man who eats to occasion stumbling.
21 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.
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything by which your brother is made to stumble, or to fall, or is weakened.
22 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.
You have faith: keep it to yourself, in the sight of God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
23 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.
For he who discerns a difference, between meats is condemned, if he eat; because he eats not from faith: for what is not from faith is sin.
