Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Mumpochele jwelejo jwakulepetala mu chikulupi nkakanilana nawo nkati ng'anisyo syao.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Mundu jumo akwete chikulupi, akulya indu yose, nambo jwine jwalepetele mu chikulupi, akulya maponda pe.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Mundu jwakulya indu yose, akasanjalusya jwelejo jwangakulya indu yose. Ni mundu jwakulya maponda pe, akasanlamula jwelejo jwakulya indu yose, pakuŵa Akunnungu ankundile jwelejo.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. And, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.
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.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
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.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
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.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Pakuŵa ngapagwa namose jumo pasikati jetu jwakutama kwa liwamba lyakwe nsyene atamuno ngapagwa jwakwasika kwa liwamba lyakwe nsyene.
8 For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
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.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
Pakuŵa Kilisito ŵajasiche ni kusyuka kwa ligongo lyo, melepe aŵeje Ambuje ŵao ŵaajasiche ni ŵajumi nombe nawo.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou show contempt for thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Kwachichi mmwe nkunlamula mpwenu jo? Pane uli alakwe kunjalusya mpwenu jo? Pakuŵa uweji wose tutujime paujo pa chitengu cha ulamusi cha Akunnungu.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
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.”
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Kwayele, kila jwalijose pasikati jetu chaliŵalanje nsyene kwa aila iyaitesile paujo pa Akunnungu.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
Nipele, tukasalamulana twachinsyene nambo tulilolechesye, mundu akasammichila njakwe chakukuŵasya pane kuntenda agwilile mu sambi.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
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.
15 But if thy brother is grieved with thy food, now walkest thou not in love. Destroy not him with thy food, for whom Christ died.
Nambo mwansupusyaga mpwenu kwa ligongo lya yakulya inkulya, nlesile kutenda mu unonyelo. Chakulya chinkulya chikaŵa ligongo lya kunsoyasya mpwenu juŵawililwe ni Kilisito.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Iyoyo kasinjitichisya kuti chindu chinkuchiwona ŵanyamwe chambone chijaluswe.
17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
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.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved by men.
Pakuŵa mundu jwalijose jwakuntumichila Kilisito kwanti yeleyo, akwanonyelesya Akunnungu, sooni akukundikwa ni ŵandu.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things which one may edify another.
Nipele, iŵaga yeleyo, tulimbile nnope kutendekanya indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele ni yaikutukamuchisya kulimbisyana mitima mu chikulupi.
20 For the sake of food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Kasingajonanga masengo ga Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya yakulya. Isyene yakulya yose yeswejeswe, nambo ngaŵa yambone kulya chakulya chachikuntendekasya jwine agwilile mu sambi.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing by which thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Ili yambone kuleka kulya nyama ni kung'wa divai, pane kuleka ineine yaikukombola kuntendekasya mpwenu agwilile mu sambi.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in what he approveth.
Chikulupi chinkwete cho chisigalile kukwenu ni Akunnungu. Jwana upile jwelejo jwangakulilamula nsyene, pakuŵa akukulupilila kuti aila yaitesile ikwanonyelesya Akunnungu.
23 And he that doubteth is condemned if he eateth, because he eateth not from faith: for whatever is not from faith is sin.
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.
