< Warumi 14 >
1 Umwene uvyalienulwiedikho lupepe, mung'eghelehenchage, mulekhaghe ukhung'iegha amasago aga mwene.
Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.
2 Umunu yuomo alienulywidiekho, ilya fyoni, hange undekhedekhe ilya eimboga.
For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables.
3 Umwene uvieilya alekhaghe ukhumbeda yuywa silya. Hange yuywa silya alekhaghe ukhungiegha yuywa ilya. Ulwa khuva uNguluve amwidikhile.
The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.
4 Uve veve veni yuve vukhung'iegha umbombi uyuonge? Khumbaha vamwene yuywa umwene ikwiema apange igwa. Mwene, ulwa khuva Untwa iwesya ukhumwimiekha.
Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 Umunu yumo ivomba nchincho sajinchinogelanile khila lienchuva. Uyuonge ivona amachuva ghoni ghalihanile. Khila munu alumanyaghe munduhala lwa mwene yuywa.
One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 Umwene uvieikhuyimiekha ielinchuva, ikhumwiemiekha unkhuludeva, vope uvieilya ilya khunkuludeva. Hange uviesilya, silya khunkuludeva, hange vope ienkhunsana uNguluve.
He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
7 Ulwa khuva asikhuli umunu munghati ndyufwe uvieitama mumakha ghamwene, hanghe asikhuli uvivomba mumakha aghamwene yuywa.
For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.
8 Ulwa khuva inave tutama, tutama khu nkhuludeva, apange tunghafwe, tuliekyuma kya Nkuludeva.
If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9 Ulwa khuva uKlisiti afwile hange akhava mwumi, pwu avile inkhuludeva va voni avafwile na vumi voni.
For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 Uve pwu khekhi, vukhung'iegha ulukhololwo vakho? Aphanghe uve khekhi, mbona vukhumbeda ulukhololwo? Ulwa khuva ufwe twivoni tuleima pavulongolo pakhighoda ikyavukhighi ikya Nguluve.
Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
11 Ulwa khuva lisimbiwe, “Nduvinietama,” ienchova unkhuludeva, “Khila lifughamielo lilafughama pawlongolo palyune.”
It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”
12 Ulwa khuva ewo, khila munu alahumya indaghielo incha mwene pavulongolo pa Nguluve.
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Pwu twielekhelwe ukhuhieghana, huba tukhenche uvuhieghi uwu, umunu alekhaghe ukhuviekha ikhienu ikya khumbiepiencha ulukololwe au eikyakhugwiesya.
Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.
14 Nilumanyile hanghe undienganiche mwa Yesu Klisiti, ukhuta khisikhuli eikhinu iekhivivi, khumwene ikhienu khiela khivivi.
I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
15 Ulukhololyo angave nuluviepho niekyakhulya, alulekhile ulughano. Khu kyakhula kyakho ulekhe unkhunanga umunu yuywa uKlisiti afwile khunongwa incha mwene.
If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.
16 Humbe uvunonu wienyo vulekhe ukhutambuliwa khuvivi.
Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.
17 Ulwa khuva uludeva lwa Nguluve salwakhulya aphange ukhunywa, pwu wayilweli nu lunonchekhencho nuluhekhelo mwu mepo umbalanche.
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 Ulwa khuva uveikhumbombela uKlisiti mumbombo incho inkhung'ovosya uNguluve hange iekwidiekhiwa na vanu.
For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
19 Yiengave ewo, munkhonge imbombo inchalunonchencho ni mbombo inchilondiwa ukhwimiekhana.
So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
20 Khunongwa iyakyakhula ulekhe ukhunanga imbombo ya Nguluve. Lweli fyoni finonu, fiva fivivi khumunu uvieilya nukwihiega.
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to let his eating be a stumbling block.
21 Lwiva lunonu ukhulekha ukhulya ienyama nukhunywa uvueghiembie hange nukhuvomba ikhinu khikyo ulukhololyo vakho khikhundemancha.
It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.
22 Ulwiedikho lulwa ulienalwo munumbula yakho luve lwakho pavulongolo pha Nguluve. Amebairkiwa umunu uviesikhihigha mumbwumi wa mwene khulimenyu lielyo alilyedikhe.
Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
23 Hange yuywa sidiekhe ikwilamwa, angalye, ahieghiwe ukhuta alie nienongwa, ulwa khuva akhalile pasita kwidikha. Khila mbombo iyievombiwa vulusipali ulwiedikho wiva vutulanongwa.
But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.
