Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive you, but not to doubtful disputations.
yo jano'dRDhavizvAsastaM yuSmAkaM saGginaM kuruta kintu sandehavicArArthaM nahi|
2 For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs.
yato niSiddhaM kimapi khAdyadravyaM nAsti, kasyacijjanasya pratyaya etAdRzo vidyate kintvadRDhavizvAsaH kazcidaparo janaH kevalaM zAkaM bhuGktaM|
3 Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him which eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.
tarhi yo janaH sAdhAraNaM dravyaM bhuGkte sa vizeSadravyabhoktAraM nAvajAnIyAt tathA vizeSadravyabhoktApi sAdhAraNadravyabhoktAraM doSiNaM na kuryyAt, yasmAd Izvarastam agRhlAt|
4 Who are you that judge another man’s servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yes, he shall be held up: for God is able 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 esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
aparaJca kazcijjano dinAd dinaM vizeSaM manyate kazcittu sarvvANi dinAni samAnAni manyate, ekaiko janaH svIyamanasi vivicya nizcinotu|
6 He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives 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 lives to himself, and no man dies to himself.
aparam asmAkaM kazcit nijanimittaM prANAn dhArayati nijanimittaM mriyate vA tanna;
8 For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to 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 both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
yato jIvanto mRtAzcetyubhayeSAM lokAnAM prabhutvaprAptyarthaM khrISTo mRta utthitaH punarjIvitazca|
10 But why do you judge your brother? or why do you set at nothing your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
kintu tvaM nijaM bhrAtaraM kuto dUSayasi? tathA tvaM nijaM bhrAtaraM kutastucchaM jAnAsi? khrISTasya vicArasiMhAsanasya sammukhe sarvvairasmAbhirupasthAtavyaM;
11 For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, 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 every 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 this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
itthaM sati vayam adyArabhya parasparaM na dUSayantaH svabhrAtu rvighno vyAghAto vA yanna jAyeta tAdRzImIhAM kurmmahe|
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems any thing 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 But if your brother be grieved with your meat, now walk you not charitably. Destroy not him with your meat, 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 meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
bhakSyaM peyaJcezvararAjyasya sAro nahi, kintu puNyaM zAntizca pavitreNAtmanA jAta Anandazca|
18 For he that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
etai ryo janaH khrISTaM sevate, sa evezvarasya tuSTikaro manuSyaizca sukhyAtaH|
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.
ataeva yenAsmAkaM sarvveSAM parasparam aikyaM niSThA ca jAyate tadevAsmAbhi ryatitavyaM|
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.
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 neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
tava mAMsabhakSaNasurApAnAdibhiH kriyAbhi ryadi tava bhrAtuH pAdaskhalanaM vighno vA cAJcalyaM vA jAyate tarhi tadbhojanapAnayostyAgo bhadraH|
22 Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he allows.
yadi tava pratyayastiSThati tarhIzvarasya gocare svAntare taM gopaya; yo janaH svamatena svaM doSiNaM na karoti sa eva dhanyaH|
23 And he that doubts is damned if he eat, because he eats not of faith: for whatever 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|
