Romans 14
1 But him that is weak in faith receive ye, [yet] not for decision of scruples.
yo jano'dRDhavizvAsastaM yuSmAkaM saGginaM kuruta kintu sandehavicArArthaM nahi|
2 One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs.
yato niSiddhaM kimapi khAdyadravyaM nAsti, kasyacijjanasya pratyaya etAdRzo vidyate kintvadRDhavizvAsaH kazcidaparo janaH kevalaM zAkaM bhuGktaM|
3 Let 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.
tarhi yo janaH sAdhAraNaM dravyaM bhuGkte sa vizeSadravyabhoktAraM nAvajAnIyAt tathA vizeSadravyabhoktApi sAdhAraNadravyabhoktAraM doSiNaM na kuryyAt, yasmAd Izvarastam agRhlAt|
4 Who 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.
he paradAsasya dUSayitastvaM kaH? nijaprabhoH samIpe tena padasthena padacyutena vA bhavitavyaM sa ca padastha eva bhaviSyati yata IzvarastaM padasthaM karttuM zaknoti|
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
aparaJca kazcijjano dinAd dinaM vizeSaM manyate kazcittu sarvvANi dinAni samAnAni manyate, ekaiko janaH svIyamanasi vivicya nizcinotu|
6 He 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.
yo janaH kiJcana dinaM vizeSaM manyate sa prabhubhaktyA tan manyate, yazca janaH kimapi dinaM vizeSaM na manyate so'pi prabhubhaktyA tanna manyate; aparaJca yaH sarvvANi bhakSyadravyANi bhuGkte sa prabhubhaktayA tAni bhuGkte yataH sa IzvaraM dhanyaM vakti, yazca na bhuGkte so'pi prabhubhaktyaiva na bhuJjAna IzvaraM dhanyaM brUte|
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.
aparam asmAkaM kazcit nijanimittaM prANAn dhArayati nijanimittaM mriyate vA tanna;
8 For 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.
kintu yadi vayaM prANAn dhArayAmastarhi prabhunimittaM dhArayAmaH, yadi ca prANAn tyajAmastarhyapi prabhunimittaM tyajAmaH, ataeva jIvane maraNe vA vayaM prabhorevAsmahe|
9 For to this end Christ died and lived [again], that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
yato jIvanto mRtAzcetyubhayeSAM lokAnAM prabhutvaprAptyarthaM khrISTo mRta utthitaH punarjIvitazca|
10 But 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.
kintu tvaM nijaM bhrAtaraM kuto dUSayasi? tathA tvaM nijaM bhrAtaraM kutastucchaM jAnAsi? khrISTasya vicArasiMhAsanasya sammukhe sarvvairasmAbhirupasthAtavyaM;
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.
yAdRzaM likhitam Aste, parezaH zapathaM kurvvan vAkyametat purAvadat| sarvvo janaH samIpe me jAnupAtaM kariSyati| jihvaikaikA tathezasya nighnatvaM svIkariSyati|
12 So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.
ataeva IzvarasamIpe'smAkam ekaikajanena nijA kathA kathayitavyA|
13 Let 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.
itthaM sati vayam adyArabhya parasparaM na dUSayantaH svabhrAtu rvighno vyAghAto vA yanna jAyeta tAdRzImIhAM kurmmahe|
14 I 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.
kimapi vastu svabhAvato nAzuci bhavatItyahaM jAne tathA prabhunA yIzukhrISTenApi nizcitaM jAne, kintu yo jano yad dravyam apavitraM jAnIte tasya kRte tad apavitram Aste|
15 For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.
ataeva tava bhakSyadravyeNa tava bhrAtA zokAnvito bhavati tarhi tvaM bhrAtaraM prati premnA nAcarasi| khrISTo yasya kRte svaprANAn vyayitavAn tvaM nijena bhakSyadravyeNa taM na nAzaya|
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
aparaM yuSmAkam uttamaM karmma ninditaM na bhavatu|
17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
bhakSyaM peyaJcezvararAjyasya sAro nahi, kintu puNyaM zAntizca pavitreNAtmanA jAta Anandazca|
18 For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.
etai ryo janaH khrISTaM sevate, sa evezvarasya tuSTikaro manuSyaizca sukhyAtaH|
19 So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.
ataeva yenAsmAkaM sarvveSAM parasparam aikyaM niSThA ca jAyate tadevAsmAbhi ryatitavyaM|
20 Overthrow 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.
bhakSyArtham Izvarasya karmmaNo hAniM mA janayata; sarvvaM vastu pavitramiti satyaM tathApi yo jano yad bhuktvA vighnaM labhate tadarthaM tad bhadraM nahi|
21 It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [to do anything] whereby thy brother stumbleth.
tava mAMsabhakSaNasurApAnAdibhiH kriyAbhi ryadi tava bhrAtuH pAdaskhalanaM vighno vA cAJcalyaM vA jAyate tarhi tadbhojanapAnayostyAgo bhadraH|
22 The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.
yadi tava pratyayastiSThati tarhIzvarasya gocare svAntare taM gopaya; yo janaH svamatena svaM doSiNaM na karoti sa eva dhanyaH|
23 But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
kintu yaH kazcit saMzayya bhuGkte'rthAt na pratItya bhuGkte, sa evAvazyaM daNDArho bhaviSyati, yato yat pratyayajaM nahi tadeva pApamayaM bhavati|
