Roome 14
1 Inte garisan ammanon buro minnonttade shiishi ekkite attin iza qofa bolla piridofite.
As for those whose faith is weak, always receive them as friends, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on their scruples.
2 Issi issi asi bettidayssa wursi maanas ammanoy dees. Qase ammanon minonta uray akakilate xalala mees.
One person’s faith permits them to eat food of all kinds, while another whose faith is weak eats only vegetable food.
3 Bettidayssa wursi mizadey wursi monttade kadhopa. Monitadey qasse mizade bolla piridofo. Xoossi wursaka ekides.
The person who eats meat must not despise the person who abstains from it; nor must the person who abstains from eating meat pass judgment on the one who eats it, for God himself has received them.
4 Haniko oothizade bolla piridizadey ne oonee? Izadey kunidiko woykko eqikoka iza Godas. Goday iza esanas danidaeza gishshi izi eqandes.
Who are you, that you should pass judgment on the servant of another? Their standing or falling concerns their own master. And stand they will, for their Master can enable them to stand.
5 Issadey gallasatape issi gallas hara gallasafe aathidi bessi dumma gallasi gi qopees. Hara uray qasse gallasati wurikka issi gina gi qopees. Issi issi uray ootho.
Again, one person considers some days to be more sacred than others, while another considers all days to be alike. Everyone ought to be fully convinced in their own mind.
6 Issi gallas hara galasafe dummasi qopizadey izi hessa oothizay Goda bonchos gidiko mizadeyka Goda bonchos giidi meesi. Miidi Xoossu galates. Monttadeykka Goda bonchos giidi muusu aggesine Xoossas galata immees.
The person who observes a day, observes it to the Master’s honour. They, again, who eat meat eat it to the Master’s honour, for they give thanks to God; while the person who abstains from it abstains from it to the Master’s honour, and also gives thanks to God.
7 Nupe oonikka bessi dizadeyne beppe bessi hayqizadey deena.
There is not one of us whose life concerns ourselves alone, and not one of us whose death concerns ourself alone;
8 Nu diikoka Godas dosi. Hayqikoka Godas hanqosu. Hessa gishshi diikoka woykko hayqiko nu Godaskko.
for, if we live, our life is for the Master, and, if we die, our death is for the Master. Whether, then, we live or die we belong to the Master.
9 Hessa gishshi hayqidaytasine paxxa dizatas Goda gidanasi Kirisitoosay hayqidi Hayqoppe paxxi denidides.
The purpose for which Christ died and came back to life was this – that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living.
10 Histin ne aazas ne isha bolla piridazii? Aazasi ne isha leqazii? Nu wurikka Xoossa pirida womibara sinith shiqos doosu.
I would ask the one “Why do you judge other followers of the Lord?” And I would ask the other “Why do you despise them?” For we will all stand before the court of God.
11 “Ta paxxa days. Gulibatey wurikka taasi gulibatana. Inxarisi wuri Xoossas marikatana” geeteti kase geesha maxaafan xaafetides.
For scripture says – “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bend before me and every tongue will praise God.’”
12 Hesa gishshi nuni issi issi uray Xoossas Xoossa sinthi shiiqidi nu ootho gishshi izas zaaro immana.
So, then, each one of us will have to render account of himself to God.
13 Hessa gish nuni nu garisan isay isa bolla piridanape ane naagetos. Hesa aggidi nu ishas dhuphe gidizayssa woykko iza oykiza narxxa wothontta mala ane nu naagetos.
Let us, then, cease to judge one another. Rather let this be your resolve – never to place a stumbling-block or an obstacle in the way of a fellow follower of the Lord.
14 Tani Goda Yessusan amanida miza kaththan tunay baynidaysa eradis. Gido attin isadey isi miish tuna gi qopiko he mishay izadesi tunako.
Through my union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am persuaded that nothing is defiling in itself. A thing is “defiling” only to the person who holds it to be so.
15 Neni ne isha miza kaththa geedon dhuphe gidiko siiqoni simeristabeyka. Kirisitoosay iza gish haniqida ne isha ne miza kaththa gaason wodhopa.
If, for the sake of what you eat, you wound your fellow follower’s feelings, your life has ceased to be ruled by love. Do not, by what you eat, ruin someone for whom Christ died!
16 Inte loo7o giidi popiza mishi iitta getistana mala oothofite.
Do not let what is right for you become a matter of reproach.
17 Xoossa kawotethi xiilo ayanani bettida xilloteth sarotethine ufaysafe attin Muusa yoone usha yoo gidena.
For the kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and gladness through the presence of the Holy Spirit.
18 Haysatho Krisitosas oothizadey Xoossu ufaysesinne asa achanika galatetes.
The person who serves the Christ in this way pleases God, and wins the approval of their fellows.
19 Hessa gish sarotethi betiza ogene nuni nu garisani loo7onas besiza oge ane koyosu.
Therefore our efforts should be directed towards all that makes for peace and the mutual building up of character.
20 Nuni Miza kaththa gish giidi Xoossa ootho ane laaloko. kathi wurikka geeshkko. Gido attiin hara urasi dhuphe gidiza kaath muusi qass balla oothoko.
Do not undo God’s work for the sake of what you eat. Though everything is “clean,” yet, if a person eats so as to put a stumbling-block in the way of others, they do wrong.
21 Ne ishasi dhuphe gidizazi gidiko ashoka manapene woyne ush uyanape woykko ay mishika ne oothontta aggiko lo7oko.
The right course is to abstain from meat or wine or, indeed, anything that is a stumbling-block to your fellow follower of the Lord.
22 Hessa gish haytantta milatiza mishatasi neesi diza ammanoy ne gidonine Xoossa gidon deyo. Haysi likeko giidi ammanon ekida mishan berika ba bolla piridonttadey izadey anijjetidadeko.
As for yourself – keep this conviction of yours to yourself, as in the presence of God. Happy the person who never has to condemn themselves in regard to something they think right!
23 Gido attin wozinara sidhishe miiko izi ammanon moontta gish iza bolla piridetides. Ammanoni oothonttazi wurikka nagara.
The person, however, who has misgivings stands condemned if they still eat, because their doing so is not the result of faith. And anything not done as the result of faith is a sin.
