Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Alò aksepte sila ki fèb nan lafwa a, men pa pou diskisyon sou tout opinyon yo.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Yon moun gen lafwa pou li kab manje tout bagay, men sila ki fèb la manje sèlman legim.
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.
Sila ki manje a pa dwe meprize sila ki pa manje a, e sila ki pa manje a pa dwe jije sila ki manje a, paske Bondye aksepte li.
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.
Ki moun nou ye pou jije sèvitè a yon lòt? Devan pwòp mèt pa li l ap kanpe oubyen l ap tonbe. E l ap kanpe menm, paske Bondye kapab fè l kanpe.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Yon moun gade yon jou kòm pi enpòtan ke yon lòt, yon lòt menm gade ke tout jou yo menm. Kite chak moun vin byen konvenk nan konsyans pa li.
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.
Sila ki kenbe enpòtans a yon jou, li fè l pou Senyè a, e sila ki pa kenbe l, se a Senyè a li pa fè l. Epi sila ki manje, se pou Senyè a ke li manje, paske li bay remèsiman a Bondye. Epi li ki pa manje, pa manje a Senyè a, paske li bay Bondye remèsiman.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Paske pa gen youn nan nou ki viv pou tèt li, ni pa gen youn ki mouri pou tèt li.
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.
Si nou viv, nou viv pou Senyè a, oubyen si nou mouri, nou mouri pou Senyè a. Donk kit nou viv, oswa kit nou mouri, se a Senyè a.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
Pou rezon sa a Kris te mouri, Li te resisite, e Li te viv ankò, pou Li te kapab Senyè pou ni sa ki mouri ak sa ki vivan.
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.
Men nou menm, poukisa nou jije frè nou an? Oswa, nou menm ankò, poukisa nou meprize frè nou an? Paske nou tout va kanpe devan chèz jijman Bondye a.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Paske sa ekri: “Jan Mwen vivan an, di Senyè a, tout jenou ap bese devan Mwen, e tout lang ap bay lwanj a Bondye”.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Konsa nou chak ap rann kont de tèt li, bay Bondye.
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.
Konsa, annou pa jije youn lòt ankò. Men olye de sa, annou detèmine pou nou pa mete okenn obstak oubyen wòch k ap fè moun bite sou wout a yon frè.
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.
Mwen konnen e mwen byen konvenk nan Senyè a Jésus ke pa gen anyen ki pa pwòp nan li menm; men pou sila a ki panse ke yon bagay pa pwòp, pou li menm li pa pwòp la.
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.
Paske si se pou afè manje nou ke frè nou an vin blese a, nou p ap mache nan lanmou ankò. Pa detwi pou afè manje nou an, sila pou kilès Kris te mouri an.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Konsa pa kite sa ki bon bagay pou ou a, vin pale pa lòt yo kòm yon mal.
17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Paske wayòm Bondye a se pa manje ak bwè, men se ladwati lapè, ak lajwa nan Lespri Sen an.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved by men.
Sila ki sèvi Kris konsa a akseptab a Bondye, e apwouve pa lèzòm.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things which one may edify another.
Donk konsa, nou pouswiv bagay k ap fè nou gen lapè yo, e k ap soutni nou youn lòt.
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.
Pa dechire travay Bondye a pou afè manje. Anfèt tout bagay pwòp, men yo mal pou moun ki manje e ki ofanse lòt moun.
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.
Se bon pou pa manje vyann ni bwè diven oubyen fè nenpòt bagay k ap fè frè ou a chite.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in what he approveth.
Lafwa ke ou genyen an, genyen li kòm pwòp konviksyon pa w devan Bondye. Beni se sila a ki pa kondane pwòp tèt li nan sa ke li apwouve.
23 And he that doubteth is condemned if he eateth, because he eateth not from faith: for whatever is not from faith is sin.
Men sila ki doute a gen tan fin kondane si li manje, paske manje li a pa fèt ak lafwa; e nenpòt bagay ki pa fèt ak lafwa, se peche.
