14:1
Τὸν δὲ ἀσθενοῦντα τῇ πίστει προσλαμβάνεσθε, μὴ εἰς διακρίσεις διαλογισμῶν.
Infirmum autem in fide assumite, non in disceptationibus cogitationum.
ወለዘኒ ድኩም ሃይማኖቱ ጹርዎ ወአጽንዕዎ ወኢትግበሩ ለአድልዎ።
Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
14:2
ὃς μὲν πιστεύει φαγεῖν πάντα, ὁ δὲ ἀσθενῶν λάχανα ἐσθίει.
Alius enim credit se manducare omnia : qui autem infirmus est, olus manducet.
ዘሰ የአምን ከመ ኵሉ ብዉሕ ሎቱ ኵሎ ለይብላዕ ወዘሰ ይናፍቅ ሐምለ ለይሴሰይ።
One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
14:3
ὁ ἐσθίων τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω, ὁ δὲ μὴ ἐσθίων τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω, ὁ θεὸς γὰρ αὐτὸν προσελάβετο.
Is qui manducat, non manducantem non spernat : et qui non manducat, manducantem non judicet : Deus enim illum assumpsit.
ወዘኒ ይበልዕ ኢይመንኖ ለዘኢይበልዕ ወዘኒ ኢይበልዕ ኢይግዐዞ ለዘይበልዕ እስመ ለኵሎሙ እግዚአብሔር አእመሮሙ።
Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him.
14:4
σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ κρίνων ἀλλότριον οἰκέτην; τῷ ἰδίῳ κυρίῳ στήκει ἢ πίπτει· σταθήσεται δέ, δυνατεῖ γὰρ ὁ κύριος στῆσαι αὐτόν.
Tu quis es, qui judicas alienum servum ? domino suo stat, aut cadit : stabit autem : potens est enim Deus statuere illum.
ምንትኑ አንተ ዘትግዕዝ ነባሬ ባዕድ እንዘ ለእግዚኡ ይቀውም እመኒ ወድቀ ለእግዚኡ ይቀውም ወይክል እግዚአብሔር አቅሞቶ።
Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.
14:5
ὃς μὲν γὰρ κρίνει ἡμέραν παρ’ ἡμέραν, ὃς δὲ κρίνει πᾶσαν ἡμέραν· ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ νοῒ πληροφορείσθω.
Nam alius judicat diem inter diem : alius autem judicat omnem diem : unusquisque in suo sensu abundet.
እስመ ቦ ዘይትሔረም እምዕለት ዕለተ ወቦ ዘይትሔረም በኵሉ መዋዕል ወባሕቱ ለኵሉ በከመ አዘዞ ልቡ።
One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
14:6
ὁ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν κυρίῳ φρονεῖ· καὶ ὁ ἐσθίων κυρίῳ ἐσθίει, εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ τῷ θεῷ· καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐσθίει, καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ τῷ θεῷ.
Qui sapit diem, Domino sapit, et qui manducat, Domino manducat : gratias enim agit Deo. Et qui non manducat, Domino non manducat, et gratias agit Deo.
ዘሂ ተሐረመ በበዕለቱ ለእግዚአብሔር ተሐረመ ወዘሂ ተሐረመ በኵሉ መዋዕል ለእግዚአብሔር ተሐረመ ወዘሂ በልዐ ለእግዚአብሔር በልዐ ወየአኵቶ ለእግዚአብሔር ወዘኒ ኢበልዐ ለእግዚአብሔር ኢበልዐ ወየአኵቶ ለእግዚአብሔር።
He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.
14:7
οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἡμῶν ἑαυτῷ ζῇ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἑαυτῷ ἀποθνῄσκει·
Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur.
ወአልቦ እምውስቴትነ ዘለርእሱ የሐዩ ወዘለርእሱ ይመውት።
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
14:8
ἐάν τε γὰρ ζῶμεν, τῷ κυρίῳ ζῶμεν, ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν, τῷ κυρίῳ ἀποθνῄσκομεν. ἐάν τε οὖν ζῶμεν ἐάν τε ἀποθνῄσκωμεν, τοῦ κυρίου ἐσμέν.
Sive enim vivemus, Domino vivimus : sive morimur, Domino morimur. Sive ergo vivimus, sive morimur, Domini sumus.
ወእመኒ ሐየውነ ለእግዚአብሔር ነሐዩ ወእመኒ ሞትነ ለእግዚአብሔር ንመውት እመኒ ሐየውነ ወእመኒ ሞትነ ለእግዚአብሔር ንሕነ።
For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
14:9
εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἔζησεν ἵνα καὶ νεκρῶν καὶ ζώντων κυριεύσῃ.
In hoc enim Christus mortuus est, et resurrexit : ut et mortuorum et vivorum dominetur.
ወበእንተዝ ሞተ ክርስቶስ ወሐይወ ከመ ይኰንን ሕያዋነ ወሙታነ።
For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
14:10
σὺ δὲ τί κρίνεις τὸν ἀδελφόν σου; ἢ καὶ σὺ τί ἐξουθενεῖς τὸν ἀδελφόν σου; πάντες γὰρ παραστησόμεθα τῷ βήματι τοῦ θεοῦ·
Tu autem quid judicas fratrem tuum ? aut tu quare spernis fratrem tuum ? omnes enim stabimus ante tribunal Christi.
ምንትኑ አንተ እንከ ዘትግዕዝ ቢጸከ ወምንትኑ አንተ ዘትሜንን ቢጸከ እስመ ሀለወነ ኵልነ ንብጻሕ ቅድመ መንግበረ ምኵናኑ ለክርስቶስ።
But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
14:11
γέγραπται γάρ, ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει κύριος, ὅτι ἐμοὶ κάμψει πᾶν γόνυ, καὶ πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσεται τῷ θεῷ.
Scriptum est enim : Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quoniam mihi flectetur omne genu : et omnis lingua confitebitur Deo.
እስመ ከመዝ ይቤ እግዚአብሔር «ሕያው አነ እስመ ሊተ ይሰግድ ኵሉ ብርክ ወሊተ ይገኒ ኵሉ ልሳን።»
For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”
14:12
ἄρα οὖν ἕκαστος ἡμῶν περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λόγον δώσει τῷ θεῷ.
Itaque unusquisque nostrum pro se rationem reddet Deo.
ናሁ ተዐውቀ ከመ ሀለወነ ኵልነ ንትሐተት በኀበ እግዚአብሔር።
So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
14:13
Μηκέτι οὖν ἀλλήλους κρίνωμεν, ἀλλὰ τοῦτο κρίνατε μᾶλλον, τὸ μὴ τιθέναι πρόσκομμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ ἢ σκάνδαλον.
Non ergo amplius invicem judicemus : sed hoc judicate magis, ne ponatis offendiculum fratri, vel scandalum.
ወኢንግዐዝ እንከ ቢጸነ ወዘንተ ዳእሙ ነኀሊ በዘኢንግዕዝ ቢጸነ።
Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.
14:14
οἶδα καὶ πέπεισμαι ἐν κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ ὅτι οὐδὲν κοινὸν δι’ ἑαυτοῦ· εἰ μὴ τῷ λογιζομένῳ τι κοινὸν εἶναι, ἐκείνῳ κοινόν.
Scio, et confido in Domino Jesu, quia nihil commune per ipsum, nisi ei qui existimat quid commune esset, illi commune est.
ወአአምር፥ ወእትአመን በእግዚእነ ኢየሱስ ከመ አልቦ ዘይማስን በእንቲኣሁ ለሙሱን ዳእሙ ኵሉ ይማስን።
I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
14:15
εἰ γὰρ διὰ βρῶμα ὁ ἀδελφός σου λυπεῖται, οὐκέτι κατὰ ἀγάπην περιπατεῖς. μὴ τῷ βρώματί σου ἐκεῖνον ἀπόλλυε ὑπὲρ οὗ Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν.
Si enim propter cibum frater tuus contristatur, jam non secundum caritatem ambulas. Noli cibo tuo illum perdere, pro quo Christus mortuus est.
ወእመሰ እንበይነ መብልዕ ተሐይሶ ለቢጽከ አልብከኬ ተፋቅሮ ቦኑ እንበይነ መብልዕ ይትኀጐል ዝኩ ዘበእንቲኣሁ ሞተ ክርስቶስ።
Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.
14:16
μὴ βλασφημείσθω οὖν ὑμῶν τὸ ἀγαθόν.
Non ergo blasphemetur bonum nostrum.
ኢትፅርፉ እንከ ላዕለ ሠናይ ዘጸገወነ እግዚእነ።
Then don’t let your good be slandered,
14:17
οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ βρῶσις καὶ πόσις, ἀλλὰ δικαιοσύνη καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ χαρὰ ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ·
Non est enim regnum Dei esca et potus : sed justitia, et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto :
እስመ ኢኮነ መንግሥተ እግዚአብሔር መብልዐ ወመስቴ ዘእንበለ ጽድቅ ወሰላም ወፍሥሓ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ።
for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
14:18
ὁ γὰρ ἐν τούτῳ δουλεύων τῷ Χριστῷ εὐάρεστος τῷ θεῷ καὶ δόκιμος τοῖς ἀνθρώποις.
qui enim in hoc servit Christo, placet Deo, et probatus est hominibus.
ወዘሰ ከመዝ ይትቀነይ ለክርስቶስ ሥሙር በኀበ እግዚአብሔር ወኅሩይ በኀበ ሰብእ።
For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.
14:19
ἄρα οὖν τὰ τῆς εἰρήνης διώκομεν καὶ τὰ τῆς οἰκοδομῆς τῆς εἰς ἀλλήλους·
Itaque quae pacis sunt, sectemur : et quae aedificationis sunt, in invicem custodiamus.
ወይእዜኒ ንትልዋ ለሰላም በዘይትሐነጽ ቢጽነ።
So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
14:20
μὴ ἕνεκεν βρώματος κατάλυε τὸ ἔργον τοῦ θεοῦ. πάντα μὲν καθαρά, ἀλλὰ κακὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ διὰ προσκόμματος ἐσθίοντι.
Noli propter escam destruere opus Dei, omnia quidem sunt munda : sed malum est homini, qui per offendiculum manducat.
ወኢንስዐር ግብረ እግዚአብሔር እንበይነ መብልዕ ወባሕቱ ኵሉ ንጹሕ ለንጹሓን ወእኩይሰ ለሰብእ በኑፋቄ በሊዕ።
Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
14:21
καλὸν τὸ μὴ φαγεῖν κρέα μηδὲ πιεῖν οἶνον μηδὲ ἐν ᾧ ὁ ἀδελφός σου προσκόπτει.
Bonum est non manducare carnem, et non bibere vinum, neque in quo frater tuus offenditur, aut scandalizatur, aut infirmatur.
ይኄይስ ኢበሊዐ ሥጋ ወኢሰትየ ወይን እምአዕቅፎ ቢጽ።
It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
14:22
σὺ πίστιν ἣν ἔχεις κατὰ σεαυτὸν ἔχε ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ. μακάριος ὁ μὴ κρίνων ἑαυτὸν ἐν ᾧ δοκιμάζει·
Tu fidem habes ? penes temetipsum habe coram Deo. Beatus qui non judicat semetipsum in eo quod probat.
ወእመኒ ብከ ሃይማኖት አጽንዕ ርእሰከ በተአምኖትከ ቅድመ እግዚአብሔር ወብፁዕ ዘይዘልፍ ርእሶ በዘረከበ አእምሮ።
Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
14:23
ὁ δὲ διακρινόμενος ἐὰν φάγῃ κατακέκριται, ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως· πᾶν δὲ ὃ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως ἁμαρτία ἐστίν.
Qui autem discernit, si manducaverit, damnatus est : quia non ex fide. Omne autem, quod non est ex fide, peccatum est.
ወዘሰ ይናፍቅ ለእመ በልዐ ይትኴነን እስመ ኢኮነ በአሚን ወኵሉ ዘይከውን ዘእንበለ አሚን ኀጢአት ወጌጋይ ውእቱ።
But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
