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.

Receive him who is weak in the faith, without regard to differences of opinions.

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.

One, indeed, believes he may eat everything; but he who is weak eats herbs only.

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 who eats, despise him who eats not; and let not him who eats not, condemn him who eats: for God has 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 are you that condemn another man's servant? By his own master he stands or falls; and he shall be made to stand, 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, indeed, thinks one day more holy than another: but another thinks every day alike. Let every one be convinced 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 who observes the day, observe it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day to the Lord, does not observe it: he who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks.

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

For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.

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

But whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live, therefore, ot 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 dies and rose, and lives again, that he might rule over both the dead and the 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 you, why do you condemn your brother? and you, also, why do you despise your brother? for we shall all be placed 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, says the Lord, surely 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.

Well, then, every one of us shall give an 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, therefore, no more judge one another; but let us decide, rather, not to lay an occasion of stumbling before a brother, or a cause of falling.

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; yet, to him who accounts anything to be unclean, to that man 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.

Now, if your brother be hurt through your meat, you no longer walk as love requires. Do not destroy him with your 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 your good, then, be an 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 Reign of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness and peace, and joy, in the Holy Spirit.

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

And he who, by these things, serves Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

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

Well, then, let us strive after peace, and mutual edification.

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.

Do not, for the sake of meat, destroy the work of God. All meats, indeed, are clean; but that meat is hurtful to the man who eats to occasion stumbling.

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 to do anything by which your brother is made to stumble, or to fall, or is weakened.

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.

You have faith: keep it to yourself, in the sight of God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

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.

For he who discerns a difference, between meats is condemned, if he eat; because he eats not from faith: for what is not from faith is sin.
