Abaruumi 14
1 Mwanirizenga omunafu mu kukkiriza, nga temumusalira musango.
But him that is weak in faith receive ye, [yet] not to doubtful disputations.
2 Wabaawo omuntu omu akkiririza mu kulya ebintu byonna, nga so ye omunafu akoma ku nva kwokka.
One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs.
3 Omuntu asalawo okubaako ky’alya tanyoomanga atakirya, n’oyo atalya kintu alemenga kusalira musango oyo akirya kubanga Katonda yamusembeza.
Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Ggwe ani asalira omusango omuweereza w’omuntu omulala? Mukama we y’amanya oba atuukiriza emirimu gye oba tagituukiriza. Naye aligituukiriza kubanga Mukama we alimusobozesa.
Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.
5 Omuntu omu agulumiza olunaku olumu okusinga olulala, naye omulala n’alowooza nti ennaku zonna zenkanankana. Noolwekyo buli muntu anywererenga ku ky’alowooza bwe kiba nga kye kituufu.
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
6 Akuza olunaku aba alukuza eri Mukama. Oyo alya aba alya ku bwa Mukama, kubanga aba agulumiza Katonda. N’oyo atalya aba talya ku bwa Mukama, era aba agulumiza Katonda.
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7 Kubanga tewali n’omu ku ffe abeera omulamu ku bubwe yekka, era tewali n’omu afa ku lulwe.
For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.
8 Kubanga bwe tuba abalamu, tuba balamu ku bwa Mukama, oba bwe tufa, tufa ku bwa Mukama. Kale nno bwe tuba abalamu oba bwe tufa, tuli ba Mukama.
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
9 Kubanga ekyo Kristo kye yafiira ate n’abeera omulamu, alyoke abeere Mukama w’abo abaafa era n’abalamu.
For to this end Christ died, and lived [again], that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 Kale ggwe lwaki osalira muganda wo omusango? Oba lwaki onyooma muganda wo? Kubanga ffenna tuliyimirira mu maaso g’entebe ya Katonda, ey’okulamula.
But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.
11 Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “‘Nga bwe ndi omulamu,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘buli vviivi lirinfukaamirira era na buli lulimi lulyatula Katonda.’”
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.
12 Noolwekyo buli omu ku ffe alyennyonnyolako eri Katonda.
So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Noolwekyo tetusaliragananga misango. Tumalirire obuteesittaza waluganda wadde okumutega okugwa mu kibi.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother’s way, or an occasion of falling.
14 Mmanyi era nkakasiza ddala mu Mukama waffe Yesu, nga tewali kya muzizo ku bwakyo, wabula kya muzizo eri oyo akirowooza nga kya muzizo.
I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Kubanga obanga muganda wo anakuwala olw’ekyo ky’olya, oba tokyatambulira mu kwagala; tolyanga kintu kyonna ky’omanyi nga kinaakyamya omuntu oyo Kristo gwe yafiirira.
For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.
16 Ekirungi ekiri mu mmwe kireme okuvumibwa.
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17 Kubanga obwakabaka bwa Katonda si kulya na kunywa, wabula butuukirivu na mirembe, na ssanyu mu Mwoyo Omutukuvu.
for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 Kubanga aweereza Kristo mu ebyo asanyusa nnyo Katonda era asiimibwa abantu.
For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.
19 Noolwekyo tunyiikirirenga eby’emirembe, n’eby’okuzimbagana ffekka ne ffekka.
So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.
20 Toyonoonanga mulimu gwa Katonda olw’emmere. Ebintu byonna birongoofu, naye ekibi kwe kulya ekyo ekireetera omulala okwesittala.
Overthrow not for meat’s sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21 Kirungi obutalya nnyama newaakubadde okunywa wayini newaakubadde ekintu kyonna ekyesittaza muganda wo.
It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby thy brother stumbleth.
22 Ky’okkiririzaamu mu kulya kikuume nga kya kyama ne Katonda. Alina omukisa ateesalira musango kumusinga mu ekyo ky’alowooza nga kituufu.
The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.
23 Naye oyo abuusabuusa bw’alya, omusango gumaze okumusinga, kubanga talya lwa kukkiriza, era na buli ekitava mu kukkiriza kiba kibi.
But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
