KwabaseRoma 14
1 Lowo obuthakathaka ekholweni memukeleni, kungabi ngokokuphikisana kwemibono.
Mulandire amene ndi ofowoka mʼchikhulupiriro, osatsutsana naye pa maganizo ake.
2 Omunye ukholwa ukuthi angadla konke, kodwa obuthakathaka udla imibhida.
Chikhulupiriro cha munthu wina chimamulola kudya china chilichonse koma munthu wina, amene chikhulupiriro chake ndi chofowoka, amangodya zamasamba zokha.
3 Lowo odlayo kangamdeleli ongadliyo, longadliyo kangamgwebi odlayo; ngoba uNkulunkulu umemukele.
Munthu amene amadya chilichonse sayenera kunyoza amene satero, ndipo munthu amene samadya chilichonse asaweruze munthu amene amatero, pakuti Mulungu anamulandira.
4 Ungubani wena ogweba inceku yomunye? Enkosini yayo iyema kumbe iwe. Yebo, izamiswa; ngoba uNkulunkulu ulamandla okuyimisa.
Kodi ndiwe ndani kuti uweruze wantchito wamwini? Mbuye wake yekha ndiye aweruze ngati iye wakhoza kapena walephera pa ntchito yake. Ndipo adzakhoza popeza kuti Mbuye wake angathe kumukhozetsa.
5 Omunye wazisa usuku kulolunye usuku, omunye wazisa insuku zonke. Kakube ngulowo lalowo aqiniseke kweyakhe ingqondo.
Munthu wina amayesa tsiku limodzi lopatulika kuposa lina. Munthu wina amayesa masiku onse ofanana. Aliyense akhale otsimikiza mʼmaganizo ake.
6 Owazisa usuku, ulwazisa eNkosini; longalwazisiyo usuku, kalwazisi eNkosini. Lodlayo udla eNkosini, ngoba ebonga uNkulunkulu; longadliyo akadli eNkosini, njalo ebonga uNkulunkulu.
Iye amene amaganiza kuti tsiku limodzi ndi lopambana, amatero kwa Ambuye. Iye amene amadya nyama, amadya mwa Ambuye pakuti amayamika Mulungu. Ndipo iye amene sadya, amatero kwa Ambuye ndi kuyamika Mulungu.
7 Ngoba kakho phakathi kwethu oziphilelayo, njalo kakho ozifelayo.
Pakuti palibe wina wa ife amene amakhala moyo pa yekha ndiponso palibe wina wa ife amene amafa pa yekha.
8 Ngoba uba siphila, siphilela iNkosi; uba-ke sisifa, sifela iNkosi; ngakho loba siphila, loba sisifa, singabeNkosi.
Ngati ife tikhala ndi moyo, ife tikhala ndi moyo kwa Ambuye. Ndipo ngati ife tifa, tifa kwa Ambuye. Choncho, ngati tikhala ndi moyo kapena kufa, ndife ake a Ambuye.
9 Ngoba kulokhu uKristu laye wafa, wavuka, wabuya waphila, ukuze abe yiNkosi yabafileyo kanye labaphilayo.
Pa chifukwa ichi, Khristu anafa ndi kuukanso kotero kuti Iye akhale ndi Ambuye wa akufa ndi amoyo.
10 Wena-ke umgwebelani umzalwane wakho? Kumbe lawe umdelelelani umzalwane wakho? Ngoba sonke sizakuma phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaKristu.
Tsono nʼchifukwa chiyani iwe ukuweruza mʼbale wako? Kapena nʼchifukwa chiyani ukumunyoza mʼbale wako? Pakuti ife tonse tidzayima pa mpando wakuweruza wa Mulungu.
11 Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Mina ngiyaphila, itsho iNkosi; lonke idolo lizaguqa phambi kwami, lalo lonke ulimi luzamvuma uNkulunkulu.
Kwalembedwa, akutero Ambuye, “Pamene Ine ndili ndi moyo, aliyense adzandigwadira ndipo lilime lililonse lidzavomereza Mulungu.”
12 Ngakho ngulowo lalowo wethu uzaziphendulela ngokwakhe kuNkulunkulu.
Choncho tsopano, aliyense wa ife adzafotokoza yekha kwa Mulungu.
13 Ngakho kasingabe sisahlulelana; kodwa yahlulelani lokho ikakhulu, ukuthi singambekeli umzalwane isikhubekiso loba ulutho lokumwisa.
Motero, tiyeni tisiye kuweruzana wina ndi mnzake. Mʼmalo mwake, tsimikizani mʼmaganizo anu kuti musayike chokhumudwitsa kapena chotchinga mʼnjira ya mʼbale wanu.
14 Ngiyazi njalo ngiqinisekisile eNkosini uJesu, ukuthi kakulalutho olungcolileyo ngokwalo; ngaphandle kwalowo ocabangela ulutho ukuthi lungcolile, kuye lungcolile.
Monga mmodzi amene ndili mwa Ambuye Yesu, ndine wotsimikiza mtima kuti palibe chakudya chimene pachokha ndi chodetsedwa. Koma ngati wina atenga china chake kukhala chodetsedwa, kwa iyeyo ndi chodetsedwa.
15 Kodwa uba umzalwane wakho ekhutshwa yikudla, kawusahambi ngokothando. Ungambhubhisi ngokudla kwakho lowo, amfelayo uKristu.
Ngati mʼbale wako akuvutika chifukwa cha chimene umadya, iwe sukuchitanso mwachikondi. Usamuwononge mʼbale wako amene Khristu anamufera chifukwa cha chakudya chakocho.
16 Ngakho okuhle kwenu kakungahlanjazwa;
Musalole kuti chimene muchiyesa chabwino achinene ngati choyipa.
17 ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu kawusikho ukudla lokunatha, kodwa ukulunga lokuthula lentokozo kuMoya oNgcwele.
Pakuti Ufumu wa Mulungu si nkhani yakudya ndi kumwa, koma chilungamo, mtendere ndi chimwemwe mwa Mzimu Woyera.
18 Ngoba okhonza uKristu kulezizinto uyemukeleka kuNkulunkulu, njalo ukholekile ebantwini.
Nʼchifukwa chake aliyense amene atumikira Khristu mʼnjira iyi akondweretsa Mulungu ndi kuvomerezedwa ndi anthu.
19 Ngakho asidingisise izinto zokuthula, lezinto zokwakhisana.
Tsono tiyeni tiyesetse kuchita zimene zidzabweretsa mtendere ndi kulimbikitsana mwachikondi.
20 Ungawuchithi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokudla. Konke kuhlambulukile, kanti kubi kumuntu odla ngokukhubekisa.
Musawononge ntchito ya Mulungu chifukwa cha chakudya. Chakudya chonse ndi choyera, koma munthu amalakwa ngati adya chilichonse chimene chimakhumudwitsa wina.
21 Kuhle ukungadli inyama, lokunganathi iwayini, lokunye umzalwane wakho akhubeka ngakho kumbe acunulwe kumbe abebuthakathaka.
Nʼkwabwino kusadya kapena kumwa vinyo kapena kuchita chilichonse chimene chidzachititsa mʼbale wako kugwa.
22 Ulokholo yini? Woba lalo ngokwakho phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ubusisiwe lowo ongazigwebiyo ngalokho akuvumelayo!
Tsono zimene ukukhulupirira pa zinthu izi zikhale pakati pa iwe ndi Mulungu. Wodala munthu amene sadzitsutsa yekha pa zimene amazivomereza.
23 Kodwa othandabuzayo, uba esidla, ulahliwe, ngoba akuveli ekholweni; njalo konke okungaveli ekholweni, kuyisono.
Koma munthu amene akukayika atsutsidwa ngati adya, chifukwa kudya kwake si kwa chikhulupiriro; ndipo chilichonse chosachokera mʼchikhulupiriro ndi tchimo.
