Romans 14
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
yO janO'dRPhavizvAsastaM yuSmAkaM sagginaM kuruta kintu sandEhavicArArthaM nahi|
2 One person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.
yatO niSiddhaM kimapi khAdyadravyaM nAsti, kasyacijjanasya pratyaya EtAdRzO vidyatE kintvadRPhavizvAsaH kazcidaparO janaH kEvalaM zAkaM bhugktaM|
3 Do not let the one who eats despise the one who does not eat. Do not let the one who does not eat judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
tarhi yO janaH sAdhAraNaM dravyaM bhugktE sa vizESadravyabhOktAraM nAvajAnIyAt tathA vizESadravyabhOktApi sAdhAraNadravyabhOktAraM dOSiNaM na kuryyAt, yasmAd Izvarastam agRhlAt|
4 Who are you who judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for the Lord has 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 esteems one day as more important; and another one esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.
aparanjca kazcijjanO dinAd dinaM vizESaM manyatE kazcittu sarvvANi dinAni samAnAni manyatE, EkaikO janaH svIyamanasi vivicya nizcinOtu|
6 The one who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and the one who does not observe the day, he does not observe it to the Lord. The one who eats, he eats to the Lord; since he gives thanks to God. And the one who does not eat, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives thanks to God.
yO janaH kinjcana dinaM vizESaM manyatE sa prabhubhaktyA tan manyatE, yazca janaH kimapi dinaM vizESaM na manyatE sO'pi prabhubhaktyA tanna manyatE; aparanjca yaH sarvvANi bhakSyadravyANi bhugktE sa prabhubhaktayA tAni bhugktE yataH sa IzvaraM dhanyaM vakti, yazca na bhugktE sO'pi prabhubhaktyaiva na bhunjjAna IzvaraM dhanyaM brUtE|
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
aparam asmAkaM kazcit nijanimittaM prANAn dhArayati nijanimittaM mriyatE vA tanna;
8 For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live 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 you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will 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,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will 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 will give account of himself to God.
ataEva IzvarasamIpE'smAkam EkaikajanEna nijA kathA kathayitavyA|
13 Therefore let us not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way, or an occasion for 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; except that to him who considers 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 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Do not destroy with your food 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 Then do not let your good be slandered,
aparaM yuSmAkam uttamaM karmma ninditaM na bhavatu|
17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
bhakSyaM pEyanjcEzvararAjyasya sArO nahi, kintu puNyaM zAntizca pavitrENAtmanA jAta Anandazca|
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.
Etai ryO janaH khrISTaM sEvatE, sa EvEzvarasya tuSTikarO manuSyaizca sukhyAtaH|
19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
ataEva yEnAsmAkaM sarvvESAM parasparam aikyaM niSThA ca jAyatE tadEvAsmAbhi ryatitavyaM|
20 Do not overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for anyone who creates a stumbling block by eating.
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 to not eat meat, drink wine, or do anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
tava mAMsabhakSaNasurApAnAdibhiH kriyAbhi ryadi tava bhrAtuH pAdaskhalanaM vighnO vA cAnjcalyaM vA jAyatE tarhi tadbhOjanapAnayOstyAgO bhadraH|
22 The faith you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is the one who does not judge himself in that which he approves.
yadi tava pratyayastiSThati tarhIzvarasya gOcarE svAntarE taM gOpaya; yO janaH svamatEna svaM dOSiNaM na karOti sa Eva dhanyaH|
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
kintu yaH kazcit saMzayya bhugktE'rthAt na pratItya bhugktE, sa EvAvazyaM daNPArhO bhaviSyati, yatO yat pratyayajaM nahi tadEva pApamayaM bhavati|
