KubaseRoma 14:1-23
14 Memukeleni umuntfu lobutsakatsaka ekukholweni,+ kodvwa ningamehluleli ngekutsi imibono yakhe yehlukile.*
2 Kukholwa kuyamvumela lomunye umuntfu kutsi adle konkhe, kodvwa umuntfu lobutsakatsaka udla tibhidvo kuphela.
3 Lodlako akangambukeli phansi longadli, nalongadli akangamehluleli lodlako,+ ngobe naye wemukelwe nguNkulunkulu.
4 Ungubani wena kutsi ungehlulela sisebenti salomunye umuntfu?+ Kuma nekuwa kwaso kusenkhosini yaso.+ Ecinisweni sitawukuma ngobe Jehova* angasenta sime.
5 Lomunye umuntfu utsatsa lilanga lelitsite njengalelibalulekile kunalelinye;+ lomunye ulitsatsa njengalelifana nawo onkhe lamanye emalanga;+ nguloyo naloyo akaciniseke kahle engcondvweni yakhe.
6 Loyo lotsatsa lilanga lelitsite njengalelibalulekile, wenta loko kuze ahloniphe Jehova.* Naloyo lodlako udla kuze ahloniphe Jehova,* ngobe ubonga Nkulunkulu;+ nalongadli akadli kuze ahloniphe Jehova,* futsi naye ubonga Nkulunkulu.+
7 Ecinisweni, kute kitsi lotiphilela yena,+ futsi kute nalotifela yena.
8 Ngobe nasiphila siphilela kuhlonipha Jehova,*+ nanasifa sifela Jehova.* Ngako ngisho siphila nobe sifa, sibaJehova.*+
9 Ngobe Khristu wafa waphindze wavuswa kuze abe yiNkhosi yalabafile nalabaphilako.+
10 Umehlulelelani umzalwane wakho?+ Kungani umbukela phansi? Sonkhe sitawukuma embikwesihlalo saNkulunkulu sekwehlulela.+
11 Ngobe kubhaliwe kwatsiwa: “Jehova* utsi: ‘Njengobe nje ngiphila,+ onkhe emadvolo atawuguca embikwami futsi tonkhe tilwimi titawudvumisa Nkulunkulu.’”+
12 Ngako-ke, Nkulunkulu utawehlulela umuntfu ngamunye kuye ngekwaloko lakwentile.+
13 Ngako asingasehlulelani.+ Esikhundleni saloko asitimiseleni kutsi singenti tintfo letingakhuba umzalwane wetfu nobe timphambukise.+
14 Njengobe ngingumlandzeli weNkhosi Jesu, ngiyati futsi ngiyaciniseka kutsi kute lutfo lolungcolile ngekwalo;+ kodvwa nangabe umuntfu atsatsa intfo ngekutsi ingcolile, isuke ingcole kuye.
15 Ngobe nangabe umzalwane wakho akhubeka ngaloko lokudlako, wena usuke ungasaphili ngekuvumelana nelutsandvo.+ Ungamlimati ngalokudlako loyo lowafelwa nguKhristu.+
16 Ngako ningakuvumeli lokuhle lenikwentako kutsi kunente nikhulunywe kabi.
17 Kungena eMbusweni waNkulunkulu akuyi ngekutsi umuntfu uyadla nobe uyanatsa,+ kodvwa kufanele abe ngulolungile, abe nekuthula, futsi abe nenjabulo leletfwa ngumoya longcwele.
18 Ngobe loyo losebentela Khristu ngalendlela uyemukeleka kuNkulunkulu futsi uyemukeleka nakubantfu.
19 Ngako-ke, asenteni konkhe lokusemandleni etfu kuze sibe nekuthula+ nalabanye futsi sakhane.+
20 Yekelani kubhidlita imisebenti yaNkulunkulu ngenca nje yekudla.+ Kuliciniso kutsi tonkhe tintfo tihlantekile, kodvwa kuyingoti* nangabe umuntfu adla kantsi ukhuba labanye.+
21 Kuncono kutsi ungayidli inyama, ungalinatsi neliwayini futsi ungenti nobe yini lekhuba umzalwane wakho.+
22 Kukholwa lonako akube kwakho wedvwa naNkulunkulu. Uyajabula umuntfu longatehluleli ngaloko yena lakubona kwemukeleka.
23 Kodvwa nangabe angabata, sewuvele ulahliwe nakadla, ngobe ukwenta ngekungakholwa. Ecinisweni, konkhe lokungakasekelwa ekukholweni kusono.
