Romans 14
1 Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
yō janō'dr̥ḍhaviśvāsastaṁ yuṣmākaṁ saṅginaṁ kuruta kintu sandēhavicārārthaṁ nahi|
2 One person has faith to eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables.
yatō niṣiddhaṁ kimapi khādyadravyaṁ nāsti, kasyacijjanasya pratyaya ētādr̥śō vidyatē kintvadr̥ḍhaviśvāsaḥ kaścidaparō janaḥ kēvalaṁ śākaṁ bhuṅktaṁ|
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 yō janaḥ sādhāraṇaṁ dravyaṁ bhuṅktē sa viśēṣadravyabhōktāraṁ nāvajānīyāt tathā viśēṣadravyabhōktāpi sādhāraṇadravyabhōktāraṁ dōṣiṇaṁ na kuryyāt, yasmād īśvarastam agr̥hlāt|
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.
hē paradāsasya dūṣayitastvaṁ kaḥ? nijaprabhōḥ samīpē tēna padasthēna padacyutēna vā bhavitavyaṁ sa ca padastha ēva bhaviṣyati yata īśvarastaṁ padasthaṁ karttuṁ śaknōti|
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.
aparañca kaścijjanō dinād dinaṁ viśēṣaṁ manyatē kaścittu sarvvāṇi dināni samānāni manyatē, ēkaikō janaḥ svīyamanasi vivicya niścinōtu|
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.
yō janaḥ kiñcana dinaṁ viśēṣaṁ manyatē sa prabhubhaktyā tan manyatē, yaśca janaḥ kimapi dinaṁ viśēṣaṁ na manyatē sō'pi prabhubhaktyā tanna manyatē; aparañca yaḥ sarvvāṇi bhakṣyadravyāṇi bhuṅktē sa prabhubhaktayā tāni bhuṅktē yataḥ sa īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vakti, yaśca na bhuṅktē sō'pi prabhubhaktyaiva na bhuñjāna īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ brūtē|
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
aparam asmākaṁ kaścit nijanimittaṁ prāṇān dhārayati nijanimittaṁ mriyatē vā 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 vayaṁ prāṇān dhārayāmastarhi prabhunimittaṁ dhārayāmaḥ, yadi ca prāṇān tyajāmastarhyapi prabhunimittaṁ tyajāmaḥ, ataēva jīvanē maraṇē vā vayaṁ prabhōrēvāsmahē|
9 For to this end Christ died, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
yatō jīvantō mr̥tāścētyubhayēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ prabhutvaprāptyarthaṁ khrīṣṭō mr̥ta utthitaḥ punarjīvitaśca|
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 tvaṁ nijaṁ bhrātaraṁ kutō dūṣayasi? tathā tvaṁ nijaṁ bhrātaraṁ kutastucchaṁ jānāsi? khrīṣṭasya vicārasiṁhāsanasya sammukhē sarvvairasmābhirupasthātavyaṁ;
11 For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"
yādr̥śaṁ likhitam āstē, parēśaḥ śapathaṁ kurvvan vākyamētat purāvadat| sarvvō janaḥ samīpē mē jānupātaṁ kariṣyati| jihvaikaikā tathēśasya nighnatvaṁ svīkariṣyati|
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
ataēva īśvarasamīpē'smākam ēkaikajanēna nijā kathā kathayitavyā|
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.
itthaṁ sati vayam adyārabhya parasparaṁ na dūṣayantaḥ svabhrātu rvighnō vyāghātō vā yanna jāyēta tādr̥śīmīhāṁ kurmmahē|
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 svabhāvatō nāśuci bhavatītyahaṁ jānē tathā prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭēnāpi niścitaṁ jānē, kintu yō janō yad dravyam apavitraṁ jānītē tasya kr̥tē tad apavitram āstē|
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.
ataēva tava bhakṣyadravyēṇa tava bhrātā śōkānvitō bhavati tarhi tvaṁ bhrātaraṁ prati prēmnā nācarasi| khrīṣṭō yasya kr̥tē svaprāṇān vyayitavān tvaṁ nijēna bhakṣyadravyēṇa taṁ na nāśaya|
16 Then do not let your good be slandered,
aparaṁ yuṣmākam uttamaṁ karmma ninditaṁ na bhavatu|
17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
bhakṣyaṁ pēyañcēśvararājyasya sārō nahi, kintu puṇyaṁ śāntiśca pavitrēṇātmanā jāta ānandaśca|
18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by people.
ētai ryō janaḥ khrīṣṭaṁ sēvatē, sa ēvēśvarasya tuṣṭikarō manuṣyaiśca sukhyātaḥ|
19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
ataēva yēnāsmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ parasparam aikyaṁ niṣṭhā ca jāyatē tadēvāsmābhi ryatitavyaṁ|
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.
bhakṣyārtham īśvarasya karmmaṇō hāniṁ mā janayata; sarvvaṁ vastu pavitramiti satyaṁ tathāpi yō janō yad bhuktvā vighnaṁ labhatē tadarthaṁ tad bhadraṁ 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 māṁsabhakṣaṇasurāpānādibhiḥ kriyābhi ryadi tava bhrātuḥ pādaskhalanaṁ vighnō vā cāñcalyaṁ vā jāyatē tarhi tadbhōjanapānayōstyāgō bhadraḥ|
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 pratyayastiṣṭhati tarhīśvarasya gōcarē svāntarē taṁ gōpaya; yō janaḥ svamatēna svaṁ dōṣiṇaṁ na karōti sa ēva dhanyaḥ|
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 yaḥ kaścit saṁśayya bhuṅktē'rthāt na pratītya bhuṅktē, sa ēvāvaśyaṁ daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati, yatō yat pratyayajaṁ nahi tadēva pāpamayaṁ bhavati|
