Roma 14
1 Serre ule na uyinu sa uyenume dinin likara kitime ba nene na uwa su usharia kitine matiru tiru ba.
Accept those who are not sure [whether God will permit them to do certain things some people think are wrong]. But [when you accept them], do not argue with them about what they think/their opinions.
2 Nlong likok umon din din manlikara kibinai nworo awanya alleu kome imon nlong likok tutun, unan ndiru likara nibinai ma lie titene cha.
Some people believe that they may eat all [kinds of food]. Others believe [that God does not want them to eat certain things, so they] believe that they may not eat meat.
3 Na we na adin lii imon vat na awa yenje nfai inlle na adin lii ba tutun ule na adinlii adadu vat ba na awasu anan nlii vate usharia b, bqra Kutellẹ na saru ghe.
Anyone who [thinks that it is all right to] eat [all kinds of food] must not despise those who [think it is] not [all right to] eat [all kinds of food]. Anyone who [thinks it is] not [all right to] eat [all kinds of food] must not (condemn/say that [God] will punish) those who [think that it is all right to] eat [all kinds of food], because God himself has accepted those people.
4 Fee nghari fwe na su kuchin umon ushariya msun nchikilarari sa yinsiku sa adeu amma tighe a yisinu bara Kutellẹ ba tigheayinsin.
[God is the master of us all, so] ([he is the one who will decide whether those people have done wrong!/who are you to decide whether they have done wrong]?) [RHQ] [Therefore], you have no right [RHQ] to condemn those who eat everything, because they are [also God’s servants! And just like] it is the servants’ own master who accepts or condemns [MTY] his servants, [it is God who accepts or condemns us]. And [believers] will be accepted [by] the Lord {[the Lord] will accept [believers]} [regardless of whether they eat meat or not], because he is able to keep them [trusting in him].
5 Nlong likot umon nyiira nlonliri katin nlong nonlikot umon nyira ayiri vat arummere na koghasu uyinu nin kibinai me.
Some people regard certain days as [holy] and think that the other [days] are not [holy]. Other people regard all days as [equally suitable for worshipping God]. Each person should be fully convinced [about such matters], thinking and deciding for himself [and not for others].
6 Ulle na ayinna nin nlonliri ayinanmu bara Kutellẹ ar, ulle na alewo imonli vat Kutellẹ imonli vat bara Kutellẹ na anari aleo anari nlii bara chikilari asa duro Kutellẹ libulibo.
As for those who believe that they should worship on [a certain] day [of the week], it is to [honor] the Lord [that they worship on that day]. And as for those who [think that it is all right to] eat [all kinds of food], it is to [honor] the Lord [that they eat those foods], as is clear from their thanking God [for the food that they eat]. As for those who abstain from [eating certain kinds of] food, it is to [honor] the Lord that they do not eat [those foods], and they also thank God [for the food that they do eat. So doing either of those things is not wrong in itself].
7 Van ghirike na umon nsosin bara litime batutun na umon din nku bara litime ba.
None of us should live [merely] to [please] ourselves, and none of us [should choose when or how we will] die, [merely] to [please] ourselves.
8 Assa tidin lai bara chikilari. Andi tiku tidin nkuzu bara chikilarlari. sa ulai sa ukul arik anit Nchikilariari.
While we live, it is the Lord whom we belong to [and should be trying to please, and not just ourselves]. And when we die, it is the Lord whom we should [be trying to please]. So, while we live and also when we die, we should be trying to please the Lord to whom we belong, [not just ourselves],
9 Bara ule imonere Kristi wa ku, afita tutun anaso Chikilari nan nkul nin na. nanla.
because the very purpose for which Christ died and became alive again is that he might be Lord whom all people should try to please, both of those who have already died and of those who are still living.
10 fe iyanghari ta udin nsharatu gwanafine? afe yangharin ta udin yenj headline fai? vat bite tibayisuni nbun kukii ishara Kutellẹ.
(It is disgraceful that you [who practice certain religious regulations] say that God will punish your fellow believers [who do not practice those regulations]!/Why do you [who practice certain religious regulations] say God will punish your fellow believers [who do not practice such regulations]?) [RHQ] [I say this because the time will come when] all of us will stand before God in order that he will say whether or not he approves [MTY] [of what we have done]. So you [who do not practice such regulations], (should not despise your fellow believers [who practice them]!/why do you despise your fellow believers [who practice them]?) [RHQ]
11 Nafo na ina nyertu “bara na in dinin lai”. ubellu Kutellẹ,”kitinighe kolome lilung ba tumun, kolome ililem basu liru Kutellẹ “.
[We know this] because it is written {[a prophet/Isaiah] wrote} [what God has said]: Everyone will bow down before me! That is as [certain as the fact that] I live [IDM]! Everyone [SYN] will acknowledge [that because I am] God, I have the [right to judge and punish people.]
12 Bara nani kogha nan nya bita bani kibatiza nadadu me ubun Kutellẹ.
So [it is clear that] it is God who will decide [whether or not he approves of] what each of us has done.
13 Nene na tiwa lawa insu nati ushara ba, na tiworo n, na umong wa chio gwana litala intiru sa barda gwane.
Since [it is God who will judge everyone], we must stop saying that [God should] punish some of our fellow believers! Instead, you/we should decide that you/we will not do anything that would [be an example that might cause] fellow believers to stop trusting in God [DOU].
14 Bar iyiru chikilari Yisa na risi, na imomon nani litimeb, sai ulle na ayiri nin nani, kitime nanin.
I am absolutely certain [DOU] because of [my close relationship with] (OR, [my belonging to]) the Lord Jesus that there is nothing that by itself is wrong [to eat]. But if people think it is wrong to eat something, then to them it is wrong to eat it. [So you should not encourage them to eat it].
15 andi bara imonlife ayin gwana nan, na udin chinu nan nya su tutun na uwanaza kibanai le na Kristi na ku bara ame ninnimonlib.
If you [eat] food [MET] that anyone for whom Christ died [thinks that it is wrong to eat, that person might be encouraged] {[you might be encouraging that person]} [to do something that he believes is wrong. As a result, you might cause that] fellow believer [to stop trusting in God]. In that way he would be ruined [spiritually] just because you have stopped behaving as one who loves [others should behave]!
16 Na uwa yinin kata kachine fe ka so umon imon liyakkiti ba.
Similarly, do not [do something that you think is] good if, [as a result, your fellow believer would sin and then] others would speak evil [of you who say that you are Christians].
17 Na ubellen nimonli nin nimon nso unere di kila. tigoKutellẹ b, ama ubelen sali kulap, lissosin lita, nin liburilibo nan nya Ifip Nnu Kutell.
Letting God rule our lives [MET] does not mean [that we must obey regulations about] eating or drinking [something]! Instead, [it means we must] live righteously, [act] peacefully [towards others], and be joyful by [the power of] the Holy Spirit.
18 Ullena din su chikilari bite kata nan nya kamin ame se useru kiti Kutellẹ ninyinu nanit.
Those who serve Christ [by acting] in such ways please God, and others will also respect them.
19 Nane re dantidofin imon ile na iba ti tiso tap nin nimong ele ibatari ti yissi.
So we should always eagerly try to [live in a way that will cause] peace [among fellow Christians], and we should try to do what will help each other to mature [spiritually].
20 Yenghe iwa nan kata Kutellẹ bara imonli. Imone vat di la, tutun unanin kitin ille na adin li umon ile na idin tizu tirzu.
Do not destroy what God has done [in the life of any believer] just because of [your eating certain kinds of] food [MET] [which that person considers wrong to eat! God] permits us to eat every [kind of food]. But if, by your eating [certain kinds of food], you encourage another person to sin [by doing what he believes is wrong], you are doing wrong.
21 Uchaun na uwa lii inawa, sa ti sọ intoro ba sa ilemon na iba ti gwafine di.
It is good neither to eat meat nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything else at any time if it] will cause one of your fellow believers to stop trusting in God.
22 Alle al'adue na udumon mino anin kitife nin Kuttellẹ. Unan nmariari ulle na ayira litime nan nya ni le mon na iyinamuba.
Let God tell you [what things are right for you to do, but do not try to force others to accept what you believe. God is] pleased with those who do what they know is right and as a result do not feel guilty [concerning what they have done], [because they have done only] those things that they believe are right.
23 Ulena aleu sauyinnu nin litime adincha ukul bara na udi uyinnu sa uyenu b, vat ilemon na inuzu kiti yinu sa uyenu ba kulapiari.
But some believers are not certain [that God will approve of their eating a certain kind of food]. So if they eat it, [they think that God will punish] them. And they [truly] will be punished {[God truly] will punish them}, because [they have done things that they] believe [are not right]. Those who do anything without being certain [that God considers it to be right] are sinning.
