¹Zvino usina simba parutendo mugamuchirei, kwete negakava pamaonero.

¹But him that is weak in faith receive ye, [yet] not for decision of scruples.

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

²One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs.

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

³Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that 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 the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power 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 each man be fully assured 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 eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto 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 none 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; or 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 died and lived [again], that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

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

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

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, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.

¹²Naizvozvo zvino umwe neumwe wedu uchazvidavirira pachake kuna Mwari.

¹²So then each 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 ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling.

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 in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

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

¹⁵For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him 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 eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

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

¹⁸For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.

¹⁹Naizvozvo ngatitsvakisise zvinhu zvinouyisa rugare nezvinhu zvekuvakana.

¹⁹So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

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

²⁰Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit 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 not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby thy brother stumbleth.

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

²²The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.

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

²³But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
