Valumi 14
1 Mumpokelayi mundu mweavi na sadika yinyong'onyo, mkoto kuhutana nayu ndava ya maholo gaki mwene.
Receive someone who is weak in the faith, but not for disputes over arguables.
2 Mundu mmonga sadika yaki yikumyidakila kulya kila chindu, nambu mundu yungi ndava ya sadika yaki yinyong'onyo, ilya makolo ga mahamba ndu.
One man has faith to eat everything, while the weak one eats only vegetables.
3 Mundu mweilya kila chakulya akotoka kumvevesa yula mweilya lepi kila chakulya. Mewawa na mweilya makolo ga mahamba ndu akotoka kumuhamula mweilya kila chakulya, muni Chapanga amyidakili.
One who eats must not look down on one who does not, and one who does not eat must not judge one who does, because God has accepted him.
4 Veve wayani mweukumuhamula mvanda wa mundu yungi? Akayima amala akagwai ndi ndava ya BAMBU waki, mwene yati ikangamala kuyima ndava BAMBU ihotola kumyimisa.
Who are you to judge someone else's household servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And stand he will, for God has the power to make him stand.
5 Vandu vangi viholalela kuvya ligono lingi la bwina kuliku lingi, nambu vangi viholalela kuvya magono goha giwanangana. Kila mmonga witu alanda cheiholalela muluhala lwaki.
One man esteems one day above another; another esteems everyday alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 Mundu mweihololela ligono lingi kuvya la bwina, mwenuyo ihenga naha kwa kumlumbalila BAMBU. Mweilya kila chakulya, namwene ihenga naha kumulumbalila BAMBU, muni akumsengusa Chapanga kwa chakulya cheampelili. Mewawa mweileka kulya vyakulya vingi, namwene ihenga naha kwa kumulumbalila BAMBU, mwenuyo akumsengusa Chapanga.
He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. And he who eats, eats to the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, also giving thanks to God.
7 Muni kawaka mundu yoyoha pagati yitu mweavili mumi ndava yaki mwene ndu, mewa kawaka mweifwa ndava ya mwene ndu.
You see, none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.
8 Muni ngati titama, titama ndava ya BAMBU, takafwayi tifwa ndava ya BAMBU. Hinu ngati titama amala tifwa, tete ndi vandu va BAMBU.
Because if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.
9 Ndava yeniyi Kilisitu afwili na kuyuka muni kavili avyai BAMBU wa vevavi mumi na vafwili.
For this very reason Christ both died and rose, and lived, so as to rule both dead and living.
10 Ndava kyani veve, ukumuhamula mlongo waku? Ndava kyani veve ukumvevesa mlongo waku? Tavoha tete yati tiyima palongolo ya Chapanga tihamuliwa.
But you, why do you judge your brother? And you too, why do you look down on your brother? Because we will all stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ.
11 Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “BAMBU ijova, Ndi chakaka ngati chenivili Chapanga mwenivi mumi kila mundu yati ifugama palongolo yangu, na kila mundu yati ijova kwa mlomo waki mwene kuvya nene ndi Chapanga.”
For it is written: “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall acknowledge God.’”
12 Hinu, kila mmonga witu yati ijova mambu gaki mwene kwa gala geagahengili palongolo ya Chapanga.
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Hinu, tileka kuhukumilana tete tavate ndi mujiyangalila, nambu katu mundu akotoka kukita chindu kwa mlongo cha kumuyokesa amala kumgwisa mukubuda.
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another, but rather resolve this: not to put a stumbling block or pitfall in a brother's way.
14 Nene mweniwungini na BAMBU Yesu, nimanyili kuvya kawaka chakulya chochoha chechihakasa palongolo ya Chapanga. Nambu mundu yungi akaholalela kuvya chakulya chingi chihakasa palongolo ya Chapanga, chenicho ndi chihakasa kwa mwene.
I know and have been convinced by Sovereign Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself (still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean),
15 Ngati ukumvinisa mtima mlongo waku ndava ya chakulya cheilya, ndi veve ukita lepi muuganu. Chakulya chewilya chikoto kumuyagisa mundu mwenuyo ndava Kilisitu afwili ndava yaki.
but if your brother is offended because of food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not, with your food, ruin someone for whom Christ died.
16 Hinu, mkoto kuyidakila chindu chila chechilolekana kuvya chabwina kwinu chiveveswa.
So do not let your good be slandered;
17 Muni Unkosi wa Chapanga lepi lijambu la kulya na kunywelela, nambu kukita mambu gegiyidakiliwa na Chapanga na uteke na luheku kwekuletwa na Mpungu Msopi.
because the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit.
18 Mweakumuhengela Kilisitu kwa njila yeniyo akumganisa Chapanga, na kuyidikiwa na vandu.
For whoever serves the Christ in these things is satisfying to God and approved by men.
19 Hinu ndi, magono goha tigalandayi mambu gegileta uteke, na gegakutitangatila kukangamalisana mitima.
So then, let us pursue the things that promote peace and the things by which one may edify another.
20 Hinu, kotoka kuhalibisa lihengu la Chapanga ndava ya kulya chakulya. Vyakulya vyoha vabwina kulya, nambu chabwina lepi kulya chakulya chechihotola kumgwisa mundu mu kumbudila Chapanga.
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are ‘clean’; however it is wrong for the man who gives offence by eating.
21 Chabwina kuleka hotohoto kulya nyama na kunywa divayi, amala chindu chechihotola kumgwisa mlongo waku.
It is good not to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weakened.
22 Kamulila chila chewisadika pagati yaku na Chapanga. Amotisiwi mundu yula mwanga jihamula mwene ndava isadika gala geikita gakumganisa Chapanga.
Do you have faith? Have it privately before God. Happy is he who does not judge himself in what he approves.
23 Nambu mundu mweivagaya ndava ya chakulya chailya, Chapanga akumuhamula ngati akalyayi, muni ikita lepi kulandana na sadika. Na lijambu loloha lelikitiki changali sadika ndi kumbudila Chapanga.
But he who eats with doubt stands condemned, because it is not from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
