Baloma 14
1 Mutambulenga cena muntu watyompwa mu lushomo, kayi kamutatotekeshananga nendi pa miyeyo yakendi.
The [one] now being weak in the faith do receive not for passing judgment on reasonings.
2 Bantu nabambi bashoma kwambeti kuliya catonda pa cakulya ciliconse. Nomba naumbi watyompwa mulushomo ukute kulyowa byamatewu.
One indeed believes to eat all things, the [one] however being weak vegetables eats.
3 Abo bakute kulya byonse kabatanyansha abo batali. Neco abo bakute kulya byamatewu kabatombolosha abo beshikulya byonse, pakwinga Lesa walamutambula mwense.
The [one] eating the [one] not eating not he should despise, (and *k*) the [one] (now *no*) not eating him eating not he should judge; God for him has received.
4 Nomba obe njobe bani kwambeti womboloshe musebenshi wa mwine? Nimwami wakendi mwine eshakamomboloshe nalacikonsho nambi lalilwa ncito yakendi. Neco nakacikonshe pakwinga mwami ngaumunyamfwilisha kucikonsha.
You yourself who are who is judging another’s servant? To the own master he stands or falls. He will be upheld however, (able is *N(k)O*) for (is *k*) the (Lord *N(K)O*) to uphold him.
5 Bantu nabambi bakute kuyeyeti busuba nabumbi bwapita masuba nambi, kayi nabambi bakute kuyeyeti masuba onse elana. Neco uliyense welela kulisalila mwine mumoyo ncelela kwinsa.
One indeed (for *no*) judges a day [to be] above [another] day, one [other] however judges every day [alike]; Each in the own mind should be fully assured.
6 Abo bakute kutonda busuba nabumbi, bakute kwinseco kwambeti balemekeshe Mwami. Abo bakute kulya byonse, bakute kwinseco kwambeti balemeke Mwami, pakwinga bakute kulumbanya Lesa pacebo ca cakulya ico. Abo batali nabimbi bakute kwinseco kwambeti balemeke Mwami, kayi bakute kulumba Lesa pakwinseco.
The [one] regarding the day to [the] Lord regards [it] (and the [one] not regarding the day to [the] Lord not regards [it]; *K*) (And *no*) the [one] eating to [the] Lord eats, he gives thanks for to God; and the [one] not eating to [the] Lord not he eats, and he gives thanks to God.
7 Kuliya naba umo pakati petu ukute kuba ne buyumi pacebo cakendi enka, nambi kufwila pacebo cakendi mwine.
No [one] for of us to himself lives and no [one] to himself dies.
8 Twaba ne buyumi, buyumi ubo nibwa Mwami, na tulafu tukute kufwila Mwami. Weco nambi tuba ne buyumi nambi tufwa, njafwe bantu ba Mwami.
If both for we shall live, to the Lord we live, if also we shall die, to the Lord we die. If both therefore we shall live, if also we shall die, the Lord’s we are.
9 Pakwinga Klistu walafwa ne kupunduka kwambeti abe Mwami wa bantu bafwa ne bayumi.
Unto this for Christ (and *k*) died (and rose up *K*) and (lived again, *N(k)O*) that both over [the] dead and living He may rule.
10 Nomba nicani ulomboloshonga mwanse? Nomba obe nenjobe nicani ulanyanshanga mwanse? Twense nitukemane pamenso a Lesa kwambeti atomboloshe.
You yourself however why judge you the brother or you? or also you yourself why do despise the brother of you? All for we will stand before the judgment seat (of God. *N(K)O*)
11 Pakwinga Mabala akute kwambeti, “Mwami lambangeti, cakubinga pakuba Mwami muyumi, ndambangeti, bantu bonse nibakansuntamine ne kusuminisheti njame Lesa.”
It has been written for: Live I myself, says [the] Lord, that to Me myself will bow every knee, and every tongue will confess to God.
12 Neco muntu uliyense pakati petu nakalyambilile kuli Lesa bintu ibyo mbyalensa.
So then each of us concerning his own account (will give *NK(o)*) to God.
13 Lino katucilekani komboloshana. Nsombi mwelela kushako mano kwambeti mutensa cintu ciliconse cela kutyompwesha mu nambi kumwipishila mwanse.
No longer therefore one another shall we judge, but this do determine rather, not to put [any] stumbling block before [your] brother or snare.
14 Kwikatishana kwakame ne Mwami Yesu cakubinga kulandeshengeti kuliyawa cakulya celela kwipisha muntu pamenso a Lesa pacebo cakwambeti lacikumyu. Nsombi na naumbi uyeyeti ico cakulya ngacimwipisha, kuli uyo nendi ngacimwipisha nditu.
I know and I have been persuaded in [the] Lord Jesus that nothing [is] unclean through (itself, *NK(o)*) only except by the [one] reckoning anything unclean to be, to that one unclean [it is];
15 Na upuntwisha mwanse pakulya cakulya ncolalinga camushobo uliwonse, ekwambeti nkolenshinga mwa kusunana. Utamononga mwanse ne cakulya cakobe, uyo Klistu ngwalafwila.
If (for *N(k)O*) on account of food the brother of you is grieved, no longer no longer according to love are you walking. Not with the food of you that one do destroy for whom Christ died.
16 Mutasuminisheti bantu nabambi bambeti byaipa bintu ibyo mbyomukute kuboneti byaina.
Not should be denigrated therefore your good.
17 Pakwinga Bwami bwa Lesa cinene nte cakulya nambi cakunwa sobwe, nsombi bululami, lumuno ne kukondwa, webyo Mushimu Uswepa mbyakute kupa.
Not for is the kingdom of God eating and drinking but righteousness and peace and joy in [the] Spirit Holy;
18 Uliyense lasebenselenga Klistu mushoboyo, ukute kukondwelesha Lesa, kayi ukute kuba muntu wasuminishiwa ne bantu nabambi.
The [one] for in (this thing *N(K)O*) serving Christ [is] well-pleasing to God and approved by men.
19 Neco lino katulangaulanga bintu byeshi kuleta lumuno kunyamfwana ne kuyuminishana pakati petu.
So then the [things] of peace we may pursue and the [things] for edification among each other.
20 Lino cakulya citononga mulimo wa Lesa. Byakulya byonse byasuminishiwa kulya, nsombi caipa kulya byakulya byela kupuntwisha banetu.
Not for the sake of food do destroy the work of God. All things indeed [are] clean but [it is] evil to the man through a stumbling block eating;
21 Caina kutalya nyama, kutanwa waini nambi kutensa cintu ciliconse ico cela kupuntwisha mwanse.
[It is] good neither to eat meat nor to drink wine nor [anything] in which the brother of you stumbles (or is led into sin or is weak *KO*)
22 Lino ikatisha mbyowashoma pakati pali njobe ne Lesa. Ukute colwe muntuyo muyawu na lenshi mbyainsheti byalulama.
You yourself [the] faith (that *no*) you have to yourself do keep before God; Blessed [is] the [one] not judging himself in what he approves.
23 Nomba na muntu ulya cakulya mwakutonshanya ekwambeti Lesa lamombolosho kendi kwambeti lepishi, pakwinga bintu mbyalenshinga nkabyekatishana ne bintu mbyashoma kwambeti nkabyaina. Neco, cintu ciliconse muntu ncalenshinga ceshi kutotekeshanya ne cintu ncashoma ni bwipishi.
The [one] however doubting if he shall eat has been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; everything now that [is] not of faith sin is.
