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

Ko te tangata he ngoikore te whakapono, manakohia, kauaka ia ki nga tautohe whakaaro.

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

Ko tetahi hoki e whakapono ana he pai nga mea katoa hei kai mana: ko te tangata ia he ngoikore tona whakapono e kai otaota ana.

3 L et 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.

Kaua te tangata e kai ana e whakahawea ki te tangata kahore e kai, kaua hoki te tangata kahore e kai e whakahe i te tangata e kai ana: kua manakohia hoki ia e te Atua.

4 W ho 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.

Ko wai koe e whakahe na i te pononga a tera? ma tona rangatira ia e whakatu, e whakahinga ranei. Ina, ka whakaturia ano ia: e taea hoki ia e te Atua te whakatu.

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

Ki te whakaaro a tetahi, nui atu tetahi ra i tetahi: ki a tetahi whakaaro ia he rite katoa nga ra. Kia u marire nga whakaaro o tetahi, o tetahi.

6 H e 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.

Ko te tangata e whakaaro ana ki te ra, he whakaaro ki te Ariki tona whakaaro; ko te tangata e kai ana, he whakaaro ki te Ariki tana kai, e whakawhetai atu ana hoki ia ki te Atua; ko te tangata kahore e kai, he whakaaro ki te Ariki tana kore e kai, e whakawhetai ana ano ia ki te Atua.

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

Ehara hoki i te mea ki a ia ake ano te ora o tetahi o tatou, ehara hoki i te mea ki a ia ake te mate o tetahi.

8 F or 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.

Ta te mea, ahakoa ora, e ora ana tatou ki te Ariki; ahakoa mate, e mate ana tatou ki te Ariki: na, ahakoa ora tatou, mate ranei, na te Ariki tatou.

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

Ko te mea hoki tenei i mate ai a te Karaiti, i ara ake ai ano, i ora ai ano, kia waiho ai ia hei Ariki ngatahi mo te hunga mate, mo te hunga ora.

10 B ut 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.

Ko koe na, he aha koe i whakahe ai i tou teina? me koe na hoki, he aha koe i whakahawea ai ki tou teina? e tu katoa hoki tatou ki te nohoanga whakawa o te Atua.

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

Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, e piko katoa nga turi ki ahau, e whakaae ano hoki nga arero katoa ki te Atua.

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

Ae ra, ka korerotia e tenei, e tenei o tatou te tikanga o ana mahi ki te Atua.

13 L et 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.

Na, kati ta tatou whakahe tetahi i tetahi: engari ko tenei kia rite i a koutou, kia kaua e whakatakotoria he tutukitanga waewae, he take whakahinga ranei mo tona teina.

14 I 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.

E mohio ana ahau, u tonu toku whakaaro i roto i te Ariki, i a Ihu, kahore he mea nona ake ano tona noa: haunga ia ki te mea tetahi he noa tetahi mea, e noa ano ki a ia.

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

Ki te mea hoki na te kai i pouri ai tou teina, kahore e mau ana tau haere i runga i te aroha. kei mate i tau kai te tangata i mate nei a te Karaiti mona.

16 L et not then your good be evil spoken of:

Na, kei korerotia kinotia to koutou pai:

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

Ehara hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua i te kai, i te inu; engari he tika, he rangimarie, he hari i roto i te Wairua Tapu.

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

Ko te tangata hoki ko enei hei mahinga mana ki a te Karaiti, ka ahuarekatia ia e te Atua, ka paingia hoki e nga tangata.

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

Na, kia whai tatou i nga mea e mau ai te rongo, i nga mea ano hoki e hanga ai te pai o tetahi, o tetahi.

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

Kaua e waiho te kai hei whakahoro mo ta te Atua mahi. He ma hoki nga mea katoa; otiia he kino ki te tangata e kai ana me te whakahe tona ngakau.

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

He mea pai tonu kia kaua e kai kikokiko, kia kaua e inu waina, aha ranei e tutuki ai tou teina.

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

Ko te whakapono i a koe na, waiho i a koe ano i te aroaro o te Atua. Ka hari te tangata kahore e whakatau i te he ki a ia ano mo te mea i whakapaia e ia mana.

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

Ki te ruarua ia tetahi, ka tau te he ki a ia ki te kai ia: no te mea ehara i te kai whakapono: he hara hoki nga mea katoa kihai nei i puta ake i te whakapono.
