Romans 14
1 As for those whose faith is weak, always receive them as friends, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on their scruples.
Hambu atahori ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ ena, te nemeheren nda feꞌe mahereꞌ sa ma nda feꞌe nahine dalaꞌ hetar sa. De mikimbela lima mara fo simbo mala e no maloleꞌ. Afiꞌ mireresi soꞌal dudꞌuꞌan. Hela e naꞌabꞌue no nggi.
2 One person’s faith permits them to eat food of all kinds, while another whose faith is weak eats only vegetable food.
Hambu atahori mana ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ, duꞌa rae, atahori saraniꞌ bisa raa sudꞌiꞌ a sa, onaꞌ sisi do, saa do. Te atahori saraniꞌ laen, fo nemehere nara nda mahereꞌ sa, raa akaꞌ utaꞌ hau ro. Huu ara raluli sisi.
3 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.
Te rena, e! Atahori saraniꞌ mana nae eni bisa naa sudꞌiꞌ a saa, afiꞌ neloe-nedꞌae atahori nda mana nau naa sisi sa. Onaꞌ naa boe, atahori saraniꞌ nda mana nau naa sisi sa, afiꞌ mifadꞌe atahori mana naa sisi a mae, “Weh! Mia sisi na, sala!” Huu Lamatualain simbo ruꞌa se fo dadꞌi Eni atahorin ena!
4 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.
Mete ma ho akaꞌ teꞌe-sii toronoom atahori mamahereꞌ taꞌo naa, na, duꞌa mae ho ia seka? Muꞌena hak saa fo fee salaꞌ neu atahori laen? Eni nda atahori mana tao ues ma sa! Ma ho, nda eni malanggan sa. Huu akaꞌ eni Lamatuan, mana naꞌena hak fo nafadꞌe relo-relo, eni taoꞌ naa, ndaa do sala. Te afiꞌ liliiꞌ. Dei fo Eni Lamatuan mana simbo atahori naa no maloleꞌ, huu Lamatuan bisa tao e dadꞌi maꞌadꞌereꞌ fo ana bisa naꞌatataaꞌ.
5 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.
Hambu atahori ruma raꞌetuꞌ rae, fai esa malole lenaꞌ fai laen ra. Hambu atahori laen duꞌa rae, basa fai ra ona esaꞌ, nda hambu fai esa fea no esa sa boe. Atahori esa-esaꞌ musi naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat naa aon.
6 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.
Mete ma atahori mana duꞌa nae hambu fai esa malole lenaꞌ fai laen, ana tao taꞌo naa fo natudꞌu hadꞌa-hormat neu hita Lamatuan. Atahori mana naa sisi no naa sudꞌiꞌ a saa laen ra, ara bisa raa fo ratudꞌu hadꞌa-hormat neu hita Lamatuan, huu ana noꞌe makasi mbali Lamatuaꞌ. Onaꞌ naa boe atahori nda mana naa sisi a sa. Ana o nae natudꞌu hadꞌa-hormat neu hita Lamatuan boe, ma ana o noꞌe makasi neu Lamatuaꞌ.
7 There is not one of us whose life concerns ourselves alone, and not one of us whose death concerns ourself alone;
Naa, Leleꞌ hita tasodꞌa, hita nda tasodꞌa fee neuꞌ a ao tara sa. Boe ma mete ma hita mate o, hita nda mate fee neu akaꞌ ao tara sa.
8 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.
Te mete ma hita feꞌe tasodꞌa, hita taꞌabꞌue teu esa to hita Lamatuan. Onaꞌ naa boe, mete ma hita mate, hita feꞌe taꞌabꞌue teu esa to hita Lamatuan. Dadꞌi mae tasodꞌa, do ata mate, hita feꞌe dadꞌi Eni enan.
9 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.
Naeni de Kristus mate, basa ma nasodꞌa baliꞌ. Ana tao taꞌo naa, naa fo Ana dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ soaꞌ neu atahori mana mateꞌ ra ena, ma soaꞌ neu atahori masodꞌaꞌ ra boe.
10 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.
Dadꞌi, taꞌo bee de soꞌu aom onaꞌ mana maꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat, fo teꞌe-sii toronoom atahori saraniꞌ ra? Taꞌo bee de muloe-mudꞌae e? Te dei fo basa nggita musi teu tandaa to Lamatualain, fo Ana paresaꞌ hita esa-esaꞌ masodꞌan.
11 For scripture says – “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bend before me and every tongue will praise God.’”
Nenesuraꞌ mia lele uluꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren oi, “Hita Lamatuan mana nafadꞌe nae, no Au nara ngga ia, ‘Dei fo basa atahori sendeꞌ lululangga nara fo beꞌutee neu Au, ma ratudꞌu hadꞌa-hormat neu Au. Ma, dei fo basa atahori rataa rendiꞌ bafa nara, rae, Au dadꞌi sira Lamatuan, huu Au ia, Lamatualain.’”
12 So, then, each one of us will have to render account of himself to God.
Dadꞌi dei fo basa nggita musi tataa tala fo tafadꞌe Lamatuaꞌ tae, hita tao saa, ma saa de hita tao taꞌo naa.
13 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.
Feꞌesaꞌan, hei mana sia Roma ra akaꞌ fua salaꞌ neu toronoom atahori saraniꞌ ra. Afiꞌ taꞌo naa fai! Malole lenaꞌ, ata taꞌetuꞌ taꞌo ia: Ata afiꞌ tao toronoo tara raꞌatunu. Ata besa-bꞌesa fo afiꞌ neꞌetutudꞌaꞌ se risiꞌ salaꞌ.
14 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.
Huu au uꞌubꞌue uu esa o hita Lamatuan Yesus, au uhine tebꞌe, taꞌo ia: nda hambu nanaat mataꞌ esa sa boe bisa tao nanggenggeo atahori, losa ana nda bisa hule-oꞌe nala neu Lamatuaꞌ sa. Te mete ma atahori esa duꞌa nae saa esa tao e nanggenggeo, losa ana nda medꞌa nae eni nda naꞌena hak hule-oꞌe sa ena, hela fo naa dadꞌi neluliꞌ soaꞌ neu e
15 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!
Onaꞌ, mete ma mua sisi, ma naa tao toronoom ralan susa, na, ho nda mutudꞌu susuem neu e sa, to? Muꞌutataaꞌ aom dei! Afiꞌ tao mulutu toronoom, huu hii mae mua saa esa! Huu Kristus o mate soaꞌ neu atahori naa boe.
16 Do not let what is right for you become a matter of reproach.
Nda maloleꞌ sa mete ma ho tao dalaꞌ esa fo mae naa maloleꞌ, te atahori laen ra olaꞌ raꞌamuti naram, huu ara rae tataom naa, deꞌulakaꞌ.
17 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.
Duꞌa malolole! Huu Lamatualain, hita Manen. Huu hita Maneꞌ a atahorin, de hita nda tasodꞌa taa-tinu tunggaꞌ a hohoro lalaneꞌ a sa. Hokoꞌ! Hita o musi tao dala ndoo-tetuꞌ, rala tara meumareꞌ, tasodꞌa no ndoos ma mole-dame, ma rala tara tamahoꞌo. Basa ia ra dadꞌi, mete ma hita taꞌabꞌue teu esa takandoo to Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren.
18 The person who serves the Christ in this way pleases God, and wins the approval of their fellows.
Atahori mana mete-seꞌu Kristus taꞌo naa, tao namahoꞌo Lamatuaꞌ ralan. Ma atahori laen o paresaꞌ ralolole atahori naa masodꞌan boe, basa fo soꞌu atahori naa naran rae, “Eni, maloleꞌ!”
19 Therefore our efforts should be directed towards all that makes for peace and the mutual building up of character.
Dadꞌi ata musi tahehere fo tasodꞌa mole-dame, ma tao maꞌedere esa no esa.
20 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.
Afiꞌ tao nelutu Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon sia atahori laen masodꞌan huu akaꞌ soꞌal nanaa-nininuꞌ a. Lamatuaꞌ nae bole mua sudꞌiꞌ a saa, huu basa se meumareꞌ. Te mete ma mureresi mo toronoom huu akaꞌ soꞌal nanaa-nininuꞌ a, ho ia, sala. Afiꞌ taꞌo naa!
21 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.
Malole lenaꞌ, muꞌutataaꞌ aom. Afiꞌ mua sisi, afiꞌ minu oe anggor, do mua-minu saa mana tao toronoom tudꞌa salaꞌ.
22 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!
Au masud ngga taꞌo ia: mete ma mala haraꞌ mo Lamatuaꞌ ena, basa ma muꞌetuꞌ mae, ho mumuhere E soꞌal nanana-nininuꞌ, na, ho onton, huu namandoo ena. Sudꞌi boe duꞌa-duꞌaꞌ fo sangga muhine mae ho tao salaꞌ, do hokoꞌ. Huu muꞌetuꞌ taꞌo naa ena na.
23 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.
Te mete ma ralam naꞌabꞌabꞌanggi, basa ma mua saa esa fo medꞌa mae naa mana tao nggo munggenggeo, Lamatuaꞌ fee salaꞌ neu nggo, huu nda tao tungga saa fo mumuhere sia ralam leleꞌ mua minu. Huu mete ma mae tao sudꞌiꞌ a saa, te mumuhere mae, naa nda tebꞌe sia Lamatuaꞌ matan sa, na, naa sala ena.
