OET (OET-RV) Anyone who considers a certain day to be special is thinking about the master. Likewise, anyone who’s eating meat is eating to serve the master and gives thanks to God. The person who doesn’t eat meat is declining to serve the master and gives thanks to God.
OET-LV The one thinking the day special, to_the_master he_is_thinking.
And he eating, to_the_master he_is_eating, because/for he_is_giving_thanks to_the to_god, and the one not eating, to_the_master not is_eating, and is_giving_thanks to_ the _god.
SR-GNT Ὁ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν, ˚Κυρίῳ φρονεῖ. Καὶ ὁ ἐσθίων, ˚Κυρίῳ ἐσθίει, εὐχαριστεῖ γὰρ τῷ ˚Θεῷ· καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων, ˚Κυρίῳ οὐκ ἐσθίει, καὶ εὐχαριστεῖ τῷ ˚Θεῷ. ‡

ULT The one regarding the day, regards it for the Lord; and the one eating, eats for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God, and the one not eating, does not eat for the Lord; he also gives thanks to God.
UST The person who thinks certain days are special does so in order to honor the Lord. The person who eats every kind of food does so in order to honor the Lord. This is because that person is thankful to God. The person who refuses to eat certain foods does so in order to honor the Lord. That person is thankful to God as well.
BSB He who observes a special day does so to the Lord;[fn] he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

OEB The person who observes a day, observes it to the Master’s honour. They, again, who eat meat eat it to the Master’s honour, for they give thanks to God; while the person who abstains from it abstains from it to the Master’s honour, and also gives thanks to God.
WEBBE He 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.
WMBB (Same as above)
NET The one who observes the day does it for the Lord. The one who eats, eats for the Lord because he gives thanks to God, and the one who abstains from eating abstains for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.
LSV He who is regarding the day, he regards [it] to the LORD, and he who is not regarding the day, he does not regard [it] to the LORD. He who is eating, he eats to the LORD, for he gives thanks to God; and he who is not eating, he does not eat to the LORD, and gives thanks to God.
FBV Those who respect a special day do so for the Lord; and those who eat without worrying[fn] do so for the Lord since they give thanks to God; while those who avoid eating certain things do so for the Lord, and they also give thanks to God.

T4T As for those who believe that they should worship on a certain day of the week, it is to honor the Lord that they worship on that day. And as for those who think that it is all right to eat all kinds of food, it is to honor the Lord that they eat those foods, as is clear from their thanking God for the food that they eat. As for those who abstain from eating certain kinds of food, it is to honor the Lord that they do not eat those foods, and they also thank God for the food that they do eat. So doing either of those things is not wrong in itself.
LEB The one who is intent on the day is intent on it for the Lord, and the one who eats eats for the Lord, because he is thankful to God, and the one who does not eat does not eat for the Lord, and he is thankful to God.
BBE He who keeps the day, keeps it to the Lord; and he who takes food, takes it as to the Lord, for he gives praise to God; and he who does not take food, to the Lord he takes it not, and gives praise to God.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ φρονῶν τὴν ἡμέραν
the_‹one› thinking the day_‹special›
The one regarding refers to the person in the previous verse who “judges day from day”. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “The one who regards one day as more important than another day”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὁ ἐσθίων
the_‹one› he eating
Here, the one who eats refers to the person in 14:3 who eats all kinds of food. Paul is leaving out a word that this phrase would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from 14:3. Alternate translation: “the one eating every kind of food”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
Κυρίῳ & Κυρίῳ & Κυρίῳ
˱to˲_/the/_Lord & ˱to˲_/the/_Lord & ˱to˲_/the/_Lord
In this verse the phrase for the Lord indicates the purpose for which these people act in these ways. They do so in order to benefit or honor the Lord. Use the most natural way in your language to express a purpose. Alternate translation: “for the purpose of honoring the Lord … for the purpose of honoring the Lord … for the purpose of honoring the Lord”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

˱he˲_/is/_giving_thanks & ˱to˲_the ˱to˲_God & and /is/_giving_thanks ¬the ˱to˲_God
Here Paul speaks of expressing thanks as if words of gratitude were something that could be given to a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he thanks God … he also thanks God”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων
and he and the_‹one› not eating
Here, the one who not eating refers to the person in 14:3 who only eats vegetables. Paul is leaving out a word that this phrase would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from 14:3. Alternate translation: “the one who eats does not eat every kind of food”
