Romafoɔ 14
1 Sɛ obi gyidie sua wɔ mo mu a, monnye no; mo ne no nnnye deɛ nʼadwene kyerɛ no no ho akyinnyeɛ.
Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts.
2 Obi gyidie ma ɔtumi di biribiara, nanso obi a ne gyidie sua no di afuomduane nko ara.
For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.
3 Ɛnsɛ sɛ deɛ ɔdi biribiara no bu deɛ ɔnni biribiara no animtia; saa ara nso na ɛnsɛ sɛ obi a ɔdi afuomduane nko ara no bu deɛ ɔdi biribiara no atɛn; ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn agye no.
Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him.
4 Wo ne hwan a wobu obi ɔsomfoɔ atɛn? Ɛyɛ ɔno ankasa ne wura na ɔbɛka sɛ wadi nkonim anaasɛ wadi nkoguo. Na ɔbɛdi nkonim, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade bɛtumi ama wadi nkonim.
Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand.
5 Obi dwene sɛ da bi wɔ hɔ a ɛho hia sene nna a aka no. Saa ara nso na onipa foforɔ nso dwene sɛ nna nyinaa yɛ pɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara si nʼadwene pi.
For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day: let every man abound in his own sense.
6 Obiara a ɔbɛbu da bi kɛseɛ no yɛ saa de hyɛ Awurade animuonyam; obiara a ɔwe nam no we wɔ Awurade din mu, ɛfiri sɛ ɔda Onyankopɔn ase; saa ara na wɔn a wɔnwe nso yɛ saa wɔ Awurade din mu de da Onyankopɔn ase.
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.
7 Yɛn mu biara nte ase mma ne nko ara ho na obiara nwu mma ne nko ara ho;
For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself.
8 sɛ yɛte ase a yɛte ase ma Awurade; na sɛ yɛwu a, yɛwu ma Awurade. Enti, sɛ yɛte ase o, yɛwu o, yɛyɛ Awurade deɛ.
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
9 Na yei enti na Kristo wuiɛ, na ɔsɔreeɛ, na ɔnyaa nkwa sɛ ɔbɛyɛ awufoɔ ne ateasefoɔwura.
For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
10 Na wo, afei, adɛn enti na wobu wo nua atɛn? Na wo, adɛn enti na wobu wo nua animtia? Yɛn nyinaa bɛgyina Onyankopɔn anim ama wabu yɛn atɛn.
But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 Ɛfiri sɛ, Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “‘Awurade ka sɛ, mete ase yi, obiara bɛbu nkotodwe wɔ mʼanim; na obiara bɛpae mu aka sɛ, mene Onyankopɔn.’”
For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 Yɛn mu biara bɛbu ne ho akonta akyerɛ Onyankopɔn.
Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.
13 Ɛno enti, momma yɛnnyae yɛn ho yɛn ho atemmuo. Mmom, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ modwene ne sɛ, monnyɛ biribiara a ɛbɛma mo nua akɔ bɔne mu.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumblingblock or a scandal in your brother’s way.
14 Ahotɔsoɔ a mewɔ wɔ mʼAwurade Yesu mu no ma mehunu sɛ biribiara nni hɔ a ɛho nte. Na sɛ obi gye di sɛ biribiara ho nte a, na saa onipa no na ɛho nte mma no.
I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Sɛ biribiara a wodi ha wo nua a, ɛnneɛ na wonte hɔ ɔdɔ mu. Mma aduane a wodi no nsɛe onipa a ne enti Kristo wuiɛ no.
For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16 Mma adeɛ a wobu sɛ ɛyɛ no nnye din bɔne.
Let not then our good be evil spoken of.
17 Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no nyɛ adidie ne ɔnom na mmom, ɛyɛ tenenee, asomdwoeɛ ne ahosɛpɛ a ɛwɔ Honhom Kronkron mu.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 Obiara a ɔsom Kristo saa ɛkwan yi so no, Onyankopɔn agye no ato mu, na nnipa bu no.
For he that in this serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is approved of men.
19 Ɛno enti, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtumi tena asomdwoeɛ mu, na yɛboaboa yɛn ho yɛn ho ma obiara nya gyidie a emu yɛ den.
Therefore let us follow after the things that are of peace; and keep the things that are of edification one towards another.
20 Nnyina aduane so nsɛe deɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ. Aduane biara yɛ aduane, nanso sɛ wodi aduane a ɛde ɔfoforɔ bɛkɔ bɔne mu a, ɛyɛ bɔne.
Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21 Ade tenenee a ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ ne sɛ, wonwe ɛnam, nnom nsã anaasɛ wonyɛ biribi a ɛbɛto wo nua suntidua.
It is good not to eat flesh, and not to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended, or scandalized, or made weak.
22 Deɛ wogye di wɔ saa asɛm yi ho no, ma ɛnka wo ne Onyankopɔn ntam. Nhyira ne deɛ ɔyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ a ɔnte nka sɛ wɔabu no atɛn.
Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
23 Na sɛ ne tirim ntene no deɛ ɔdi ho a, sɛ ɔdi a, Onyankopɔn bu no atɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ɔyɛ no mfiri gyidie mu. Biribiara a ɛmfiri gyidie mu no nso yɛ bɔne.
But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
