Ròm 14
1 Alò aksepte sila ki fèb nan lafwa a, men pa pou diskisyon sou tout opinyon yo.
Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
2 Yon moun gen lafwa pou li kab manje tout bagay, men sila ki fèb la manje sèlman legim.
One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
3 Sila ki manje a pa dwe meprize sila ki pa manje a, e sila ki pa manje a pa dwe jije sila ki manje a, paske Bondye aksepte li.
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 Ki moun nou ye pou jije sèvitè a yon lòt? Devan pwòp mèt pa li l ap kanpe oubyen l ap tonbe. E l ap kanpe menm, paske Bondye kapab fè l kanpe.
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 Yon moun gade yon jou kòm pi enpòtan ke yon lòt, yon lòt menm gade ke tout jou yo menm. Kite chak moun vin byen konvenk nan konsyans pa li.
One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
6 Sila ki kenbe enpòtans a yon jou, li fè l pou Senyè a, e sila ki pa kenbe l, se a Senyè a li pa fè l. Epi sila ki manje, se pou Senyè a ke li manje, paske li bay remèsiman a Bondye. Epi li ki pa manje, pa manje a Senyè a, paske li bay Bondye remèsiman.
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 Paske pa gen youn nan nou ki viv pou tèt li, ni pa gen youn ki mouri pou tèt li.
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8 Si nou viv, nou viv pou Senyè a, oubyen si nou mouri, nou mouri pou Senyè a. Donk kit nou viv, oswa kit nou mouri, se a Senyè a.
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 Pou rezon sa a Kris te mouri, Li te resisite, e Li te viv ankò, pou Li te kapab Senyè pou ni sa ki mouri ak sa ki vivan.
For to this end Messiah died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 Men nou menm, poukisa nou jije frè nou an? Oswa, nou menm ankò, poukisa nou meprize frè nou an? Paske nou tout va kanpe devan chèz jijman Bondye a.
But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgement seat of Messiah.
11 Paske sa ekri: “Jan Mwen vivan an, di Senyè a, tout jenou ap bese devan Mwen, e tout lang ap bay lwanj a Bondye”.
For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
12 Konsa nou chak ap rann kont de tèt li, bay Bondye.
So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
13 Konsa, annou pa jije youn lòt ankò. Men olye de sa, annou detèmine pou nou pa mete okenn obstak oubyen wòch k ap fè moun bite sou wout a yon frè.
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 Mwen konnen e mwen byen konvenk nan Senyè a Jésus ke pa gen anyen ki pa pwòp nan li menm; men pou sila a ki panse ke yon bagay pa pwòp, pou li menm li pa pwòp la.
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 Paske si se pou afè manje nou ke frè nou an vin blese a, nou p ap mache nan lanmou ankò. Pa detwi pou afè manje nou an, sila pou kilès Kris te mouri an.
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 Konsa pa kite sa ki bon bagay pou ou a, vin pale pa lòt yo kòm yon mal.
Then don’t let your good be slandered,
17 Paske wayòm Bondye a se pa manje ak bwè, men se ladwati lapè, ak lajwa nan Lespri Sen an.
for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 Sila ki sèvi Kris konsa a akseptab a Bondye, e apwouve pa lèzòm.
For he who serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 Donk konsa, nou pouswiv bagay k ap fè nou gen lapè yo, e k ap soutni nou youn lòt.
So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
20 Pa dechire travay Bondye a pou afè manje. Anfèt tout bagay pwòp, men yo mal pou moun ki manje e ki ofanse lòt moun.
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 Se bon pou pa manje vyann ni bwè diven oubyen fè nenpòt bagay k ap fè frè ou a chite.
It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
22 Lafwa ke ou genyen an, genyen li kòm pwòp konviksyon pa w devan Bondye. Beni se sila a ki pa kondane pwòp tèt li nan sa ke li apwouve.
Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
23 Men sila ki doute a gen tan fin kondane si li manje, paske manje li a pa fèt ak lafwa; e nenpòt bagay ki pa fèt ak lafwa, se peche.
But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
