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.

Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over 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 person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.

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.

Do not let the one who eats despise the one who does not eat. Do not let the one who does not eat judge the one who eats, for God has accepted 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 who judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for the Lord has power 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 esteems one day as more important; and another one esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully 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.

The one who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and the one who does not observe the day, he does not observe it to the Lord. The one who eats, he eats to the Lord; since he gives thanks to God. And the one who does not eat, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives thanks to God.

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 dies to himself.

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

For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live 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 died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of 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 judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

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, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"

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

So then each one of us will 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.

Therefore let us not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way, or an occasion for 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 in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything 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.

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Do not destroy with your food him 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.

Then do not let your good be slandered,

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 eating and drinking, but righteousness, 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.

For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.

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

So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

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 overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for anyone who creates a stumbling block by eating.

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 to not eat meat, drink wine, or do anything by which your brother stumbles, 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.

The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which 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.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
