Romana 14
1 Ampihovao ty maifoifo am-patokisañe, fa tsy t’ie hifandietse amo raha ereñeren-trokeo.
Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye, —not for disputing opinions: —
2 Eo ty miantoke te hene kamaeñe, fe mikama añañe avao i malemey.
One, indeed, hath faith to eat all things, whereas, he that is weak, eateth herbs:
3 Asoao tsy ho mavoe’ i mikamay i tsy mikamay; vaho tsy ho tiñea’ i tsy mikamay i mikamay, fa non’ Añahare.
Let not, him that eateth, despise him that eateth not, and let not, him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for, God, hath received him.
4 Ia irehe te hanìñe ty mpitoro’ ondaty? amy talè’ey ty ijohaña’e ke ikorovoha’e. Toe hijohan-dre fa mahafitroatse aze t’i Andrianañahare.
Who art, thou, that judgest another’s domestic? To his own master, he standeth or falleth; he shall, however, be made to stand, —for his master is able to make him stand.
5 Eo ty miasy ty andro raike ambone’ ty ila’e; ampirae’ ty ila’e ka ze hene andro. Hamake te songa rekets’ añ’ arofo’e ao.
[For], one, indeed esteemeth one day beyond another, whereas, another, esteemeth every day: —let, each one, in his own mind be fully persuaded.
6 I miasy àndroy, miasy aze ho amy Talè. I mikamay mikama ho amy Talè, am-pandriañañe an’ Andrianañahare. Le i mifaly haneñey ro mifaly ho amy Talè vaho mañandriañe an’ Andrianañahare.
He that regardeth the day, unto the Lord, regardeth it, —and, he that eateth, unto the Lord, doth eat, for he giveth thanks unto God; and, he that eateth not, unto the Lord, doth not eat and give God thanks.
7 Tsy aman-tika ty veloñe am-bata’e avao, le tsy eo ty mivetrake am-bata’e.
For, none of us, unto himself liveth, and, none, unto himself dieth;
8 Ie veloñe tika, le veloñe amy Talè, ie vilasy, le vilasy amy Talè; Aa he t’ie veloñe, ke vilasy, le a i Talè.
For both, if we live, unto the Lord, we live, and, if we die, unto the Lord, we die; whether therefore we live, the Lord’s, we are; or whether we die, the Lord’s, we are;
9 Zao ty nivilasia’ i Norizañey naho nitroara’ey, soa t’ie ro Talè’ o nihomakeo naho o veloñeo.
For, to this end, Christ died and lived, in order that, both of dead and living, he might have lordship.
10 Fa ihe, ino ty aniñea’o ty longo’o? he akore te kirofe’o añ’ ofoke i longo’oy? Ie songa hijohañe añatrefa’ i fiambesam-pizakàn’ Añaharey;
But, thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto the judgment seat of God;
11 Fa hoe ty pinatetse: Kanao velon-dRaho, hoe t’i Talè, hitongalefa’ ze kila ongotse, vaho hiantoke an’ Andrianañahare ze hene fameleke
For it is written—Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto God.
12 Aa kanao sindre hamolily vatañe aman’ Añahare
Hence, [then], each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.
13 antao tsy hifanìñe ka, le mifoneña tsy hampipohañe ty raha mahatsikapy ndra ty mahatofotse an-dalan-dongo eo.
No longer, then, upon one another, let us be sitting in judgment, but, this, judge ye rather—not to be putting a cause of stumbling before your brother or an occasion to fall.
14 Apotako naho iatoako am’ Iesoà Talè te tsy eo ty raha faly avao, fa amy mitañ’ aze ho faliy, le faly ama’e.
I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus—that, nothing, is profane of itself, —save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, [it is] profane,
15 Aa naho mampanahelo ty longo’o ty mahakama’o, ihe tsy mañavelo an-koko. Ko toloram-boiñe ty amy mahakama’oy i nivilasia’ i Norizañeiy.
If, in fact, because of food, thy brother is being grieved, no longer, by the rule of love, art thou walking: —do not, by thy food, that man, be destroying, on whose behalf Christ died!
16 Aa le ko apoke ho fosaeñe ze atao’o soa;
Therefore, suffer not to be defamed, your own good thing;
17 amy te tsy mahakama, tsy finomañe i fifehean’ Añaharey, fa havantañañe naho fifampilongoañe vaho firebehañe amy Arofo Masiñey.
For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit;
18 Toe sitran’ Añahare naho no’ ondatio ty mitoroñe i Norizañey hoe izay.
For, he that in this doeth service unto the Christ, is acceptable unto God, and approved unto men.
19 Antao arè himane ze raha minday fifampilongoañe naho fifampibodobodoañe.
Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another:
20 Ko rotsaheñe o tolon-drahan’ Añahareo ty amo mahakamao. Toe hene malio, fe voiñe ama’ ondaty ty mikama hampitorifiha’e.
Do not, for the sake of food, be throwing down the work of God! All things, indeed, are pure; but, ill, is it for the man who with occasion of stumbling doth eat, —
21 Hàmake tsy mikama hena, tsy minon-divay ndra inoñe mahatsikapy o longo’oo.
Well, is it not to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor [to do aught] whereby thy brother is caused to stumble.
22 Ifaharo añatrefan’ Añahare eo i fatokisa’oy; haha ty tsy mamà-batañe amo atokisa’eo.
The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth;
23 Fe voafàtse t’ie mikama ty mahatsimboetse aze, amy te tsy am-patokisañe; toe fonga hakeo ze tsy mifototse am-patokisañe.
But, he that is in doubt, if he eat, hath condemned himself, —because, [it was] not of faith, and, everything which is not of faith, is sin.
