KwabaseRoma 14

1 Lowo obuthakathaka ekholweni memukeleni, kungabi ngokokuphikisana kwemibono.

yO janO'dRPhavizvAsastaM yuSmAkaM sagginaM kuruta kintu sandEhavicArArthaM nahi|

2 Omunye ukholwa ukuthi angadla konke, kodwa obuthakathaka udla imibhida.

yatO niSiddhaM kimapi khAdyadravyaM nAsti, kasyacijjanasya pratyaya EtAdRzO vidyatE kintvadRPhavizvAsaH kazcidaparO janaH kEvalaM zAkaM bhugktaM|

3 Lowo odlayo kangamdeleli ongadliyo, longadliyo kangamgwebi odlayo; ngoba uNkulunkulu umemukele.

4 Ungubani wena ogweba inceku yomunye? Enkosini yayo iyema kumbe iwe. Yebo, izamiswa; ngoba uNkulunkulu ulamandla okuyimisa.

5 Omunye wazisa usuku kulolunye usuku, omunye wazisa insuku zonke. Kakube ngulowo lalowo aqiniseke kweyakhe ingqondo.

aparanjca kazcijjanO dinAd dinaM vizESaM manyatE kazcittu sarvvANi dinAni samAnAni manyatE, EkaikO janaH svIyamanasi vivicya nizcinOtu|

6 Owazisa usuku, ulwazisa eNkosini; longalwazisiyo usuku, kalwazisi eNkosini. Lodlayo udla eNkosini, ngoba ebonga uNkulunkulu; longadliyo akadli eNkosini, njalo ebonga uNkulunkulu.

yO janaH kinjcana dinaM vizESaM manyatE sa prabhubhaktyA tan manyatE, yazca janaH kimapi dinaM vizESaM na manyatE sO'pi prabhubhaktyA tanna manyatE; aparanjca yaH sarvvANi bhakSyadravyANi bhugktE sa prabhubhaktayA tAni bhugktE yataH sa IzvaraM dhanyaM vakti, yazca na bhugktE sO'pi prabhubhaktyaiva na bhunjjAna IzvaraM dhanyaM brUtE|

7 Ngoba kakho phakathi kwethu oziphilelayo, njalo kakho ozifelayo.

aparam asmAkaM kazcit nijanimittaM prANAn dhArayati nijanimittaM mriyatE vA tanna;

8 Ngoba uba siphila, siphilela iNkosi; uba-ke sisifa, sifela iNkosi; ngakho loba siphila, loba sisifa, singabeNkosi.

kintu yadi vayaM prANAn dhArayAmastarhi prabhunimittaM dhArayAmaH, yadi ca prANAn tyajAmastarhyapi prabhunimittaM tyajAmaH, ataEva jIvanE maraNE vA vayaM prabhOrEvAsmahE|

9 Ngoba kulokhu uKristu laye wafa, wavuka, wabuya waphila, ukuze abe yiNkosi yabafileyo kanye labaphilayo.

yatO jIvantO mRtAzcEtyubhayESAM lOkAnAM prabhutvaprAptyarthaM khrISTO mRta utthitaH punarjIvitazca|

10 Wena-ke umgwebelani umzalwane wakho? Kumbe lawe umdelelelani umzalwane wakho? Ngoba sonke sizakuma phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaKristu.

kintu tvaM nijaM bhrAtaraM kutO dUSayasi? tathA tvaM nijaM bhrAtaraM kutastucchaM jAnAsi? khrISTasya vicArasiMhAsanasya sammukhE sarvvairasmAbhirupasthAtavyaM;

11 Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Mina ngiyaphila, itsho iNkosi; lonke idolo lizaguqa phambi kwami, lalo lonke ulimi luzamvuma uNkulunkulu.

yAdRzaM likhitam AstE, parEzaH zapathaM kurvvan vAkyamEtat purAvadat| sarvvO janaH samIpE mE jAnupAtaM kariSyati| jihvaikaikA tathEzasya nighnatvaM svIkariSyati|

12 Ngakho ngulowo lalowo wethu uzaziphendulela ngokwakhe kuNkulunkulu.

ataEva IzvarasamIpE'smAkam EkaikajanEna nijA kathA kathayitavyA|

13 Ngakho kasingabe sisahlulelana; kodwa yahlulelani lokho ikakhulu, ukuthi singambekeli umzalwane isikhubekiso loba ulutho lokumwisa.

itthaM sati vayam adyArabhya parasparaM na dUSayantaH svabhrAtu rvighnO vyAghAtO vA yanna jAyEta tAdRzImIhAM kurmmahE|

14 Ngiyazi njalo ngiqinisekisile eNkosini uJesu, ukuthi kakulalutho olungcolileyo ngokwalo; ngaphandle kwalowo ocabangela ulutho ukuthi lungcolile, kuye lungcolile.

15 Kodwa uba umzalwane wakho ekhutshwa yikudla, kawusahambi ngokothando. Ungambhubhisi ngokudla kwakho lowo, amfelayo uKristu.

ataEva tava bhakSyadravyENa tava bhrAtA zOkAnvitO bhavati tarhi tvaM bhrAtaraM prati prEmnA nAcarasi| khrISTO yasya kRtE svaprANAn vyayitavAn tvaM nijEna bhakSyadravyENa taM na nAzaya|

16 Ngakho okuhle kwenu kakungahlanjazwa;

aparaM yuSmAkam uttamaM karmma ninditaM na bhavatu|

17 ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu kawusikho ukudla lokunatha, kodwa ukulunga lokuthula lentokozo kuMoya oNgcwele.

bhakSyaM pEyanjcEzvararAjyasya sArO nahi, kintu puNyaM zAntizca pavitrENAtmanA jAta Anandazca|

18 Ngoba okhonza uKristu kulezizinto uyemukeleka kuNkulunkulu, njalo ukholekile ebantwini.

Etai ryO janaH khrISTaM sEvatE, sa EvEzvarasya tuSTikarO manuSyaizca sukhyAtaH|

19 Ngakho asidingisise izinto zokuthula, lezinto zokwakhisana.

ataEva yEnAsmAkaM sarvvESAM parasparam aikyaM niSThA ca jAyatE tadEvAsmAbhi ryatitavyaM|

20 Ungawuchithi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokudla. Konke kuhlambulukile, kanti kubi kumuntu odla ngokukhubekisa.

bhakSyArtham Izvarasya karmmaNO hAniM mA janayata; sarvvaM vastu pavitramiti satyaM tathApi yO janO yad bhuktvA vighnaM labhatE tadarthaM tad bhadraM nahi|

21 Kuhle ukungadli inyama, lokunganathi iwayini, lokunye umzalwane wakho akhubeka ngakho kumbe acunulwe kumbe abebuthakathaka.

22 Ulokholo yini? Woba lalo ngokwakho phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ubusisiwe lowo ongazigwebiyo ngalokho akuvumelayo!

yadi tava pratyayastiSThati tarhIzvarasya gOcarE svAntarE taM gOpaya; yO janaH svamatEna svaM dOSiNaM na karOti sa Eva dhanyaH|

23 Kodwa othandabuzayo, uba esidla, ulahliwe, ngoba akuveli ekholweni; njalo konke okungaveli ekholweni, kuyisono.
