Baroma 14

1 Amogelang ka boitumelo mokaulengwe mongwe le mongwe yo o batlang go dirisanya le lona, le fa tumelo ya gagwe e le bokoa. Se mo tshwayeng diphoso ka go nna le megopolo e e farologanyeng le ya lona ka se se siameng le se se sa siamang.

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to doubtful disputations.

2 Sekai ke se, se ngangisanyeng nae kaga gore a go tshwanetse kgotsa ga go a tshwa-nela go ja nama e e tlhabetsweng medimo ya disetwa. Wena o ka ne kgotsa o dumela gore ga go na sekgopi mo go e jeng, mme tumelo ya ba bangwe e bokoa; ba gopola gore ga go a siama, mme ba tlaa tswelela ba ikitsa nama eo gotlhelele, ba je merogo fela go na le go ja nama e e ntseng jalo.

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

3 Ba ba bonang go ba siametse go ja nama e e ntseng jalo, ba seka ba nyatsa ba ba sa e jeng. Mme fa o le mongwe wa ba ba sa e jeng, se tshwaye phoso ba ba e jang. Gonne Modimo o ba amogetse go nna bana ba one.

Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

4 Ke batlhanka ba Modimo, ga se ba gago. Ba tlaa ikarabela mo go one, e seng mo go wena. A Modimo o ba bolelele ka bo one gore a ba siame kgotsa ga ba a siama. Gonne Modimo o nonofile go ba dira gore ba dire ka fa ba tshwanetseng go dira ka teng.

Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

5 Bangwe ba gopola gore Bakeresete ba tshwanetse go tshegetsa malatsi a Sejuta a boikhutso e le malatsi a a tlhophegileng go obamela Modimo. Mme bangwe ba re ga go a siama go itshwenya ka dilo tse di ntsengjaana, gonne malatsi otlhe ka go tshwana ke a Modimo. Malebang le dipotso tse di ntsengjaana, mongwe le mongwe o tshwanetse go ikakanyetsa.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6 Fa o na le malatsi a a tlhophegileng a go obamela Morena, o leka go mo tlotla; o dira selo se se molemo. Le motho yo o jang nama e e tlhabetsweng medimo ya disetwa o ntse fela jalo; o leboga Morena ka yone; le ene o dira sentle. Mme le motho yo o sa batleng go ama nama eo, le ene o gakaletse go itumedisa Morena gape o a leboga.

He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

7 Ga re itaolele go tshela le go swa jaaka rona re ne re ka itlhophela.

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8 Gonne le fa re tshela, re tshelela Morena, le fa ree swa re swela Morena. Re ba Morena ntlheng tsotlhe.

For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

9 Gonne Keresete o ne a swela a bo a rulela one mogopolo o, gore a nne Morena wa rona rotlhe fa re santse re tshela le fa ree swa.

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

10 Ga o na tshwanelo ya go tshwaya wa gaeno diphoso kgotsa go mo nyatsa. Gakologelwa gore, mongwe le mongwe wa rona o tlaa ikarabela fa pele ga setilo sa tshekelo sa Modimo.

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 Gonne Jehofa o kwadile a re, “Jaaka ke tshedile, mangole otlhe a tlaa nkhubamela, le diteme tsotlhe di tlaa ipolelela Modimo.”

For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 Ee, mongwe le mongwe wa rona o tlaa ikarabela mo Modimong.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

13 Jalo he, lo seka lwa tlhola lo nyatsana. Mo boemong jwa moo, leka go tshela ka tsela e e leng gore ga o kitla o dira gore wa gaeno a kgopiwe ka go dira gore a bone o dira se ene a ithayang a re ga se a siama.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother’s way.

14 Tota fela nna, ke tlhomamisa sentle fela thata mo taolong ya Morena Jesu gore, ga go na molato ope mo go jeng dijo tse di tlhabetsweng medimo ya disetwa. Mme fa mongwe a dumela gore go phoso, hong a seka a e ja ka ntlha ya gore mo go ene ke molato.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean.

15 Mme fa mokaulengwe wa gago a tshwenyega ka se o se jang, ga o dire ka fa loratong fa o tswelela ka go se ja. Se dire gore se o se jang se koafatse mongwe yo Keresete o mo swetseng.

But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

16 Se dire sepe se se tlaa go iteisang letswalo le fa tota o itse gore se o se dirang se tlhamaletse.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

17 Gonne tota fela, sa botlhokwa mo go rona re le Bakeresete, ga se se re se jang kgotsa se re se nwang fa e se go dira bomolemo le kagiso le boitumelo jo bo tswang mo Moweng O O Boitshepo.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

18 Fa o letla Keresete go nna Morena mo dilong tse, Modimo o tlaa itumela; fela jalo le ba bangwe ba tlaa itumela.

For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved of men.

19 Ka yone tsela e, ikaeleleng go agisanya ka kagiso mo phuthegong lo bo lo leke go agelelana ka go godisanya mo tumelong.

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

20 Lo seka lwa senya tiro ya Modimo ka ntlha ya dijo. Gakologelwang gore, ga go na sepe se se molato mo nameng, mme go phoso go e ja fa e kgopisa yo mongwe.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.

21 Selo se se siameng go dirwa ke go tlogela go ja nama kgotsa go nwa mofine kgotsa go dira sengwe se se kgopisang mokaulengwe wa gago kgotsa se mo leofisa.

[It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

22 O ka itse gore ga go na molato mo go se o se dirang, le ka fa BoModimong, mme se ipolokele mo pelong; se supe tumelo ya gago ka boikgogomoso fa pele ga ba bangwe, ba e ka reng kgotsa ya ba kgopisa. Ka mabaka a a ntseng jaana, go sego motho yo o sa leofeng ka go dira se a itseng gore se siame.

Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

23 Mme le fa e le mang yo o dumelang gore selo se o batlang go se dira ga se a tshwanela, a seka a se dira. Fa a se dira o a leofa, gonne o akanya gore ga se a siama, jalo he, mo go ene ga se a tshwanela. Le fa e le eng se se dirwang kwa ntle ga se a bonang se siame, ke sebe.

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.
