Romans 14
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
Tambula kufumbwa muntu mutete kulusyomo, kamutapi lubeta ataa akukazanya.
2 One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
Umwi muntu ulalusyomo kukulya kufumbwa, awumwi mutete ulya chisyu kupela.
3 Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
Oyo ulya zintu zintu zyoonse atanyansyi oyo utalyi; alimwi alakwe utalyi zintu zyonse atabeteki oyo ulya zintu zyoonse. Nkambo leza wamutambula.
4 Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.
Nduweni, iwe nobeteka mulanda wawumwi? Ezi zilikuli simalelo wakwe nkwayimvwi kana kuwida. Asi ulakonzya kwima, nkambo Mwami ulamukonzyezya kuti amwimike.
5 One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
Umwi muntu ulalemya limwi zuba kwinda limwi. Awumwi ulalemya mazuba oonse mukwelene umwi awumwi ngabe akasimpe mumiyeyo yakwe.
6 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. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
Oyo ubamba buzuba, ulibambila Mwami; alimwi oyo ulya, ulyida Mwami, nkambo upabulumbu kuliLeza oyo utalyi, ulikachizizya kulya nkambo kaMwami, akulumbayizya Leza.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
Aboobo takwe wesu uliponena mwini, alimwi takwe ulifwida mwini.
8 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.
Anu kuti nkatupona tuponena Mwami, alimwi kuti twafwa, tufwida Mwami. Ninsya nkatupona kana kufwa, tuli baMwami.
9 For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
Akaambo kazezi Kkilisitu wakafwa alimwi wakapona lubo, kuti abe mwami wabo boonse bafwide alimwi abaabo bapona.
10 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 Christ.
Asi nywe, kambonzi nimubeteka munyokwe? Alimwi nywe kambonzi nimunyansya munyokwe? Kaambo swe tuyoyima kuchuuno chalubeta chaLeza.
11 For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
Nkambo kulilembedwe, “Mbuli mbepona,”mbawamba Mwami, “kulindime mazwi ayofugama, alimwi ndimi zyoonse ziyowamba kuliLeza.”
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
Aboobo, umwi awumwi wesu uyopa makkani alangene anguwe kuliLeza.
13 Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
Aboobo, katutachibetekani, asi tuyeye ezi, kutabi ubika chilebyo kana kakole kumwenzinyina.
14 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.
Ndilizi alimwi me ndasungilizigwa muMwamiJesu, kuti takwe chintu chisalala achilike. Kupela kuloyo uyeya kuti nchibi, kuloyo nchibi.
15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
Ikuti nkambo kakulya munakwanu kula mutyola, tochendi muluyando. Utamujayi akulya kwako nkambo Kkilisitu wakamufwida.
16 Then don’t let your good be slandered,
Kamutazuminini echo nchimuti nchibi chambwe bubi.
17 for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Nkambo bwami bwaLeza tabwensi bwakulya na kunywa, pesi mbwabululami, lulumuno, alimwi akubotelwa muMuuya uSalala.
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
Aboobo oyo ubelekela Kkilisitu munzila eyi ulatambulika kuliLeza alimwi ulazumininwa abantu.
19 So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
Aboobo, atusungwalile zintu zyalumuno alimwi zintu ziyaka umwi awumwi.
20 Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
Mutajayi mulimu waLeza kumakkani akulya. Zyoonse zisalala, asi nchibi kumuntu ulya kufumbwa chintu chilebya mwenzinyina.
21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
Tachili kabotu kuti ulye nyama, kana kunywa wayini, kana kuchita chintu chileba munyokwe.
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
Lusyomo ndomulalo, alubambwe akati kanu aLeza. Ulilongezegwe oyo utapi mulandu kulecho nchazumina.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
Oyo udoneka ulalibeteka kuti walya, nkambo tachizwi kulusyomo. Alimwi choonse chitali chalusyomo nchibi.
