¹Zvino usina simba parutendo mugamuchirei, kwete negakava pamaonero.

¹Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

²Mumwe unotenda kuti ungadya zvinhu zvose; asi usina simba unodya miriwo.

²For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

³Unodya ngaarege kuzvidza usingadyi, usingadyi ngaarege kupa mhosva unodya; nekuti Mwari wakamugamuchira.

³Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

⁴Iwe ndiwe ani unopa muranda weumwe mhosva? Unomira kana kuwa kuna Ishe wake. Uchamiswa zvirokwazvo, nekuti Mwari unogona kumumisa.

⁴Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

⁵Umwe unotemera rimwe zuva kupfuura rimwe; mumwe unotemera zuva rimwe nerimwe zvakafanana. Umwe neumwe ngaave nechokwadi mufungwa dzake.

⁵One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

⁶Uyo unorangarira zuva, unorirangarira muna Ishe; neusingarangariri zuva muna Ishe, haarirangariri, neunodya unodya nekuda kwaIshe, nekuti unovonga Mwari. Uye usingadyi, haadyi muna Ishe, uye unovonga Mwari.

⁶He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto 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.

⁷Nekuti hakuna umwe wedu unozviraramira, uye hakuna unozvifira.

⁷For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

⁸Nekuti kana tichirarama, tinoraramira Ishe; uye kana tichifa, tinofira Ishe; naizvozvo kana tichirarama, kana tichifa tiri vaIshe.

⁸For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

⁹Nekuti Kristu wakafira izvozvi, akamuka akararamazve kuti ave Ishe wevose vapenyu nevakafa.

⁹For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

¹⁰Zvino iwe unopireiko hama yako mhosva? Kana newe, unozvidzireiko hama yako? Nekuti isu tose tichamira pamberi pechigaro chekutonga chaKristu.

¹⁰But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

¹¹Nekuti kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: Ini ndinorarama, ndizvo zvinoreva Ishe ibvi rimwe nerimwe richandifugamira, nerurimi rumwe nerumwe rwuchareurura kuna Mwari.

¹¹For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

¹²Naizvozvo zvino umwe neumwe wedu uchazvidavirira pachake kuna Mwari.

¹²So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

¹³Naizvozvo ngatirege kuramba tichipana mhosva; asi zviri nani mutonge izvi, kuti kusava neunoisa chigumbuso kana chinopinganidza pamberi pehama.

¹³Let 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.

¹⁴Ndinoziva, uye ndine chokwadi muna Ishe Jesu, kuti hakuna chinhu chakasviba chomene; asi kune uyo unofunga kuti chakasviba, kwaari chakasviba.

¹⁴I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

¹⁵Asi kana hama yako ichirwadziwa nechikafu, hauchafambi nerudo. Usamuparadza nechikafu chako uyo wakafirwa naKristu.

¹⁵But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

¹⁶Naizvozvo kunaka kwenyu ngakurege kuzvidzwa.

¹⁶Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

¹⁷Nekuti ushe hwaMwari hahwusi chikafu kana chimwiwa, asi kururama, nerugare, nemufaro muMweya Mutsvene.

¹⁷For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

¹⁸Nekuti uyo unobatira Kristu pazvinhu izvi, unogamuchirwa kuna Mwari, uye unotendwa nevanhu.

¹⁸For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

¹⁹Naizvozvo ngatitsvakisise zvinhu zvinouyisa rugare nezvinhu zvekuvakana.

¹⁹Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

²⁰Regai kuparadza basa raMwari nekuda kwechikafu. Zvinhu zvose zvakarurama, asi zvakaipa kune unodya achigumbusa.

²⁰For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

²¹Zvakanaka kusadya nyama, kana kumwa waini, kana kuita chingagumbusa hama yako, kana kukanganiswa kana kushaiswa simba.

²¹It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

²²Une rutendo here? Iva narwo umene pamberi paMwari, wakaropafadzwa usingazvipi mhosva pachinhu chaanotendera.

²²Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

²³Asi uyo unokahadzika kana achidya wava nemhosva, nekuti haadyi nerutendo; nekuti zvose zvisingabvi parutendo chivi.

²³And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
