Ŵaloma 14
1 Mumpochele jwelejo jwakulepetala mu chikulupi nkakanilana nawo nkati ng'anisyo syao.
And him who is weak in the faith receive ye — not to determinations of reasonings;
2 Mundu jumo akwete chikulupi, akulya indu yose, nambo jwine jwalepetele mu chikulupi, akulya maponda pe.
one doth believe that he may eat all things — and he who is weak doth eat herbs;
3 Mundu jwakulya indu yose, akasanjalusya jwelejo jwangakulya indu yose. Ni mundu jwakulya maponda pe, akasanlamula jwelejo jwakulya indu yose, pakuŵa Akunnungu ankundile jwelejo.
let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.
4 Ana mmwejo nduni junkunlamula jwakutumichila jwa jwine? Ajimaga uchenene pa masengo gao pane agwaga, lyele lili pachanya pa mmbujegwe. Nombejo chajime mwakulimbila, pakuŵa Ambuje chakombole kunjimika.
Thou — who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
5 Mundu jumo akukombola kuganisya kuti lyuŵa limo lili lyambone kupunda moŵa gane nambo jwine akukombola kuganisya kuti moŵa gose gali yalumo. Kwapele mundu jwalijose ajitichisye yakuti pakuganisya nsyene.
One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day [alike]; let each in his own mind be fully assured.
6 Mundu jwalijose jwakuliwona lyuŵa lili lyambone, akutenda yeleyo kwakwakusya Ambuje. Ni jwakulya indu yose, akutenda yeleyo kwakwakusya Ambuje, pakuŵa akwatogolela Akunnungu kwaligongo lya chakulya chiŵapele. Iyoyo ni jwangakulya indu yose, akutenda yeleyo kwakwakusya Ambuje, ni jwelejo nombe akwatogolela Akunnungu.
He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard [it], and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.
7 Pakuŵa ngapagwa namose jumo pasikati jetu jwakutama kwa liwamba lyakwe nsyene atamuno ngapagwa jwakwasika kwa liwamba lyakwe nsyene.
For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die;
8 Pakuwa iŵaga tukutama, tukutama kwa liwamba lya Ambuje ni iŵaga tukwasika, tukwasika kwa liwamba lya Ambuje. Nipele, iŵaga tukutama pane tukwasika, uwe tuli ŵandu ŵa Ambuje.
for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's;
9 Pakuŵa Kilisito ŵajasiche ni kusyuka kwa ligongo lyo, melepe aŵeje Ambuje ŵao ŵaajasiche ni ŵajumi nombe nawo.
for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.
10 Kwachichi mmwe nkunlamula mpwenu jo? Pane uli alakwe kunjalusya mpwenu jo? Pakuŵa uweji wose tutujime paujo pa chitengu cha ulamusi cha Akunnungu.
And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;
11 Pakuŵa mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala, Ambuje akuti, “Isyene indite kuŵa Akunnungu jwanjumi, kila mundu chachitindiŵala paujo pangu ni kila mundu chachijitichisya kuŵecheta nsyene kuti Une ndili Akunnungu jwanjumi.”
for it hath been written, 'I live! saith the Lord — to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'
12 Kwayele, kila jwalijose pasikati jetu chaliŵalanje nsyene kwa aila iyaitesile paujo pa Akunnungu.
so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God;
13 Nipele, tukasalamulana twachinsyene nambo tulilolechesye, mundu akasammichila njakwe chakukuŵasya pane kuntenda agwilile mu sambi.
no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.
14 Une jwanumbikene ni Ambuje Che Yesu, ngumanyilila kuti ngapagwa chakulya chachili chakusakala paujo pa Akunnungu. Nambo mundu aganisyaga kuti chakulya chine chili chakusakala paujo pa Akunnungu, chele chakulya cho chili chakusakala kwa jwelejo.
I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean — to that one [it is] unclean;
15 Nambo mwansupusyaga mpwenu kwa ligongo lya yakulya inkulya, nlesile kutenda mu unonyelo. Chakulya chinkulya chikaŵa ligongo lya kunsoyasya mpwenu juŵawililwe ni Kilisito.
and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died.
16 Iyoyo kasinjitichisya kuti chindu chinkuchiwona ŵanyamwe chambone chijaluswe.
Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,
17 Pakuŵa, Umwenye wa Akunnungu nganiuŵa kulya ni kug'wa, nambo kuli kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ni chitendewele ni sangalala jajikwika ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
18 Pakuŵa mundu jwalijose jwakuntumichila Kilisito kwanti yeleyo, akwanonyelesya Akunnungu, sooni akukundikwa ni ŵandu.
for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
19 Nipele, iŵaga yeleyo, tulimbile nnope kutendekanya indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele ni yaikutukamuchisya kulimbisyana mitima mu chikulupi.
So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another;
20 Kasingajonanga masengo ga Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya yakulya. Isyene yakulya yose yeswejeswe, nambo ngaŵa yambone kulya chakulya chachikuntendekasya jwine agwilile mu sambi.
for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who is eating through stumbling.
21 Ili yambone kuleka kulya nyama ni kung'wa divai, pane kuleka ineine yaikukombola kuntendekasya mpwenu agwilile mu sambi.
Right [it is] not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to [do anything] in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak.
22 Chikulupi chinkwete cho chisigalile kukwenu ni Akunnungu. Jwana upile jwelejo jwangakulilamula nsyene, pakuŵa akukulupilila kuti aila yaitesile ikwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
Thou hast faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,
23 Nambo mundu jwakwete lipamba ni indu yakulya, Akunnungu akunlamula pakulya pakuŵa chakuchitenda akutenda pangali chikulupi. Ni chindu chachili chose chakupanganya mundu iŵaga akuchipanganya pangali chikulupi, chelecho chili sambi.
and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.
