¹Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

¹በእምነት የደከመውንም ተቀበሉት፥ በአሳቡም ላይ አትፍረዱ።

²One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

²ሁሉን ይበላ ዘንድ እንደ ተፈቀደለት የሚያምን አለ፥ ደካማው ግን አትክልት ይበላል።

³Don’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.

³የሚበላ የማይበላውን አይናቀው የማይበላውም በሚበላው አይፍረድ፥ እግዚአብሔር ተቀብሎታልና።

⁴Who 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.

⁴አንተ በሌላው ሎሌ የምትፈርድ ማን ነህ? እርሱ ቢቆም ወይም ቢወድቅ ለገዛ ጌታው ነው፤ ነገር ግን እግዚአብሔር ሊያቆመው ይችላልና ይቆማል።

⁵One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

⁵ይህ ሰው አንድ ቀን ከሌላ ቀን እንዲሻል ያስባል፥ ያ ግን ቀን ሁሉ አንድ እንደ ሆነ ያስባል፤ እያንዳንዱ በገዛ አእምሮው አጥብቆ ይረዳ።

⁶He 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.

⁶ቀንን የሚያከብር ለጌታ ብሎ ያከብራል፤ የሚበላም እግዚአብሔርን ያመሰግናልና ለጌታ ብሎ ይበላል፤ የማይበላም ለጌታ ብሎ አይበላም እግዚአብሔርንም ያመሰግናል።

⁷For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

⁷ከእኛ አንድ ስንኳ ለራሱ የሚኖር የለምና፥ ለራሱም የሚሞት የለም፤

⁸For 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.

⁸በሕይወት ሆነን ብንኖር ለጌታ እንኖራለንና፥ ብንሞትም ለጌታ እንሞታለን። እንግዲህ በሕይወት ሆነን ብንኖር ወይም ብንሞት የጌታ ነን።

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

⁹ስለዚህ ነገር ሙታንንም ሕያዋንንም ይገዛ ዘንድ ክርስቶስ ሞቶአልና ሕያውም ሆኖአልና።

¹⁰But 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.

¹⁰አንተም በወንድምህ ላይ ስለ ምን ትፈርዳለህ? ወይስ አንተ ደግሞ ወንድምህን ስለ ምን ትንቃለህ? ሁላችን በክርስቶስ ፍርድ ወንበር ፊት እንቆማለንና።

¹¹For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’” Isaiah 45:23

¹¹እኔ ሕያው ነኝ፥ ይላል ጌታ፥ ጉልበት ሁሉ ለእኔ ይንበረከካል መላስም ሁሉ እግዚአብሔርን ያመሰግናል ተብሎ ተጽፎአልና።

¹²So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

¹²እንግዲያስ እያንዳንዳችን ስለ ራሳችን ለእግዚአብሔር መልስ እንሰጣለን።

¹³Therefore 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.

¹³እንግዲህ ከዛሬ ጀምሮ እርስ በርሳችን አንፈራረድ፤ ይልቁን ግን ለወንድም እንቅፋትን ወይም ማሰናከያን ማንም እንዳያኖርበት ይህን ቍረጡ።

¹⁴I 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.

¹⁴በራሱ ርኵስ የሆነ ነገር እንደ ሌለ በጌታ በኢየሱስ ሆኜ አውቄአለሁ ተረድቼአለሁም፤ ነገር ግን ምንም ርኵስ እንዲሆን ለሚቆጥር ለእርሱ ርኵስ ነው።

¹⁵Yet 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.

¹⁵ወንድምህንም በመብል ምክንያት የምታሳዝን ከሆንህ እንግዲህ በፍቅር አልተመላለስህም። ክርስቶስ ስለ እርሱ የሞተለትን እርሱን በመብልህ አታጥፋው።

¹⁶Then don’t let your good be slandered,

¹⁶እንግዲህ ለእናንተ ያለው መልካም ነገር አይሰደብ፤

¹⁷for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷የእግዚአብሔር መንግሥት ጽድቅና ሰላም በመንፈስ ቅዱስም የሆነ ደስታ ናት እንጂ መብልና መጠጥ አይደለችምና።

¹⁸For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

¹⁸እንደዚህ አድርጎ ለክርስቶስ የሚገዛ እግዚአብሔርን ደስ ያሰኛልና፥ በሰውም ዘንድ የተመሰገነ ነው።

¹⁹So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

¹⁹እንግዲያስ ሰላም የሚቆምበትን እርስ በርሳችንም የምንታነጽበትን እንከተል።

²⁰Don’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.

²⁰በመብል ምክንያት የእግዚአብሔርን ሥራ አታፍርስ። ሁሉ ንጹሕ ነው፥ በመጠራጠር የተበላ እንደ ሆነ ግን ለዚያ ሰው ክፉ ነው።

²¹It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.

²¹ሥጋን አለመብላት ወይንንም አለመጠጣት ወንድምህም የሚሰናከልበትን አለማድረግ መልካም ነው።

²²Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.

²²ለአንተ ያለህ እምነት በእግዚአብሔር ፊት ለራስህ ይሁንልህ። ፈትኖ መልካም እንዲሆን በሚቈጥረው ነገር በራሱ ላይ የማይፈርድ ብፁዕ ነው።

²³But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

²³የሚጠራጠረው ግን ቢበላ በእምነት ስላልሆነ ተኮንኖአል፤ በእምነትም ያልሆነ ሁሉ ኃጢአት ነው።

²⁴Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages,

²⁵but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations;

²⁶to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever! Amen. TR places verses 24-26 after Romans 16:24 as verses 25-27.
