< Romans 14 >
1 Ẹ gba ẹni tí ó bá ṣe àìlera ní ìgbàgbọ́ mọ́ra, kí ẹ má ṣe tọpinpin ìṣeyèméjì rẹ̀.
Receive someone who is weak in the faith, but not for disputes over arguables.
2 Ẹnìkan gbàgbọ́ pé òun lè máa jẹ ohun gbogbo: ṣùgbọ́n ẹlòmíràn tí ó sì jẹ́ aláìlera ní ìgbàgbọ́ ń jẹ ewébẹ̀ nìkan.
One man has faith to eat everything, while the weak one eats only vegetables.
3 Kí ẹni tí ń jẹ ohun gbogbo má ṣe kẹ́gàn ẹni tí kò jẹ; kí ẹni tí kò sì jẹ ohun gbogbo kí ó má ṣe dá ẹni tí ń jẹ lẹ́bi nítorí Ọlọ́run ti gbà á.
One who eats must not look down on one who does not, and one who does not eat must not judge one who does, because God has accepted him.
4 Ta ni ìwọ láti dá ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ẹlòmíràn lẹ́jọ́? Lójú olúwa tirẹ̀ ni òun dúró, tàbí ṣubú. Òun yóò sì dúró nítorí Ọlọ́run ní agbára láti mú kí òun dúró.
Who are you to judge someone else's household servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And stand he will, for God has the power to make him stand.
5 Ẹnìkan bu ọlá fún ọjọ́ kan ju òmíràn; ẹlòmíràn bu ọlá fún ọjọ́ gbogbo bákan náà. Kí olúkúlùkù kí ó dá ara rẹ̀ lójú ní inú ara rẹ̀.
One man esteems one day above another; another esteems everyday alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 Ẹni tí ó bá ya ọjọ́ kan sí ọ̀tọ̀, ó ń yà á sọ́tọ̀ fún Olúwa. Ẹni tí ó ń jẹ ẹran, ó ń jẹ ẹran fún Olúwa, nítorí pé òun náà dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run; ẹni tí kò bá sì jẹ ẹran, kò jẹ ẹran fún Olúwa, òun náà dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run.
He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. And he who eats, eats to the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, also giving thanks to God.
7 Nítorí kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó wà láààyè fún ara rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ẹni tí ó kú fún ara rẹ̀.
You see, none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.
8 Bí a bá wà láààyè, a wà láààyè fún Olúwa; bí a bá sì kú, a kú fún Olúwa. Nítorí náà, bí a wà láààyè, tàbí bí a kú, ti Olúwa ni àwa i ṣe.
Because if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.
9 Nítorí ìdí èyí náà ni Kristi ṣe kú, tí ó sì tún yè, kí ó bá le jẹ́ Olúwa òkú àti alààyè.
For this very reason Christ both died and rose, and lived, so as to rule both dead and living.
10 Èéṣe nígbà náà tí ìwọ fi ń dá arákùnrin tàbí arábìnrin rẹ lẹ́jọ́? Tàbí èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ń gàn wọn? Nítorí gbogbo wa ni yóò dúró níwájú ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́ Ọlọ́run.
But you, why do you judge your brother? And you too, why do you look down on your brother? Because we will all stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ.
11 A ti kọ ìwé rẹ̀ pé: “‘Níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè,’ ni Olúwa wí, ‘gbogbo eékún ni yóò wólẹ̀ fún mi; gbogbo ahọ́n ni yóò jẹ́wọ́ fún Ọlọ́run.’”
For it is written: “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall acknowledge God.’”
12 Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà, olúkúlùkù wa ni yóò jíyìn ara rẹ̀ fún Ọlọ́run.
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe tún jẹ́ kí a máa dá ara wa lẹ́jọ́ mọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ pinu nínú ọkàn yín láti má ṣe fi ohun ìkọ̀sẹ̀ tàbí òkúta ìdìgbòlù kankan sí ọ̀nà arákùnrin tàbí arábìnrin yín.
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another, but rather resolve this: not to put a stumbling block or pitfall in a brother's way.
14 Mo mọ̀ dájú gbangba bí ẹni tí ó wà nínú Jesu Olúwa pé, kò sí ohun tó ṣe àìmọ́ fún ara rẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó bá ka ohunkóhun sí àìmọ́, òun ni ó ṣe àìmọ́ fún.
I know and have been convinced by Sovereign Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself (still, to someone who considers a thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean),
15 Bí inú arákùnrin tàbí arábìnrin rẹ ba bàjẹ́ nítorí oúnjẹ rẹ, ìwọ kò rìn nínú ìfẹ́ mọ́. Má ṣe fi oúnjẹ rẹ sọ ẹni tí Kristi kú fún di ẹni ègbé.
but if your brother is offended because of food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not, with your food, ruin someone for whom Christ died.
16 Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí a máa sọ̀rọ̀ ohun tí ẹ mọ̀ sí rere ní búburú.
So do not let your good be slandered;
17 Nítorí ìjọba ọ̀run kì í ṣe jíjẹ àti mímu, bí kò ṣe nípa ti òdodo, àlàáfíà àti ayọ̀ nínú Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́,
because the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit.
18 nítorí ẹni tí ó bá sin Kristi nínú nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ó ṣe ìtẹ́wọ́gbà lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run, tí ó sì ní ìyìn lọ́dọ̀ ènìyàn.
For whoever serves the Christ in these things is satisfying to God and approved by men.
19 Nítorí náà, ẹ jẹ́ kí a ṣa gbogbo ipá wa láti máa lépa àlàáfíà, àti ohun tí àwa yóò fi gbé ara wa ró.
So then, let us pursue the things that promote peace and the things by which one may edify another.
20 Má ṣe bi iṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run ṣubú nítorí oúnjẹ. Gbogbo oúnjẹ ni ó mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ohun búburú ni fún ẹni náà tí ó jẹ ohunkóhun tí ó le mú ẹlòmíràn kọsẹ̀.
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are ‘clean’; however it is wrong for the man who gives offence by eating.
21 Ó dára kí a má tilẹ̀ jẹ ẹran tàbí mu wáìnì tàbí ṣe ohunkóhun tí yóò mú arákùnrin tàbí arábìnrin rẹ ṣubú.
It is good not to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weakened.
22 Nítorí náà, ohun tí ìwọ bá gbàgbọ́ nípa gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí, pa á mọ́ ní àárín ìwọ àti Ọlọ́run. Alábùkún fún ni ẹni náà tí kò dá ara rẹ̀ lẹ́bi nínú ohun tí ó yàn.
Do you have faith? Have it privately before God. Happy is he who does not judge himself in what he approves.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó ṣe iyèméjì, ó jẹ̀bi bí ó ba jẹ ẹ́, nítorí jíjẹ ẹ́ rẹ̀ kò ti inú ìgbàgbọ́ wá; bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni, ohun gbogbo tí kò bá ti inú ìgbàgbọ́ wá, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni.
But he who eats with doubt stands condemned, because it is not from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.
