Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
yō janō'dr̥ḍhaviśvāsastaṁ yuṣmākaṁ saṅginaṁ kuruta kintu sandēhavicārārthaṁ nahi|
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
yatō niṣiddhaṁ kimapi khādyadravyaṁ nāsti, kasyacijjanasya pratyaya ētādr̥śō vidyatē kintvadr̥ḍhaviśvāsaḥ kaścidaparō janaḥ kēvalaṁ śākaṁ bhuṅktaṁ|
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
tarhi yō janaḥ sādhāraṇaṁ dravyaṁ bhuṅktē sa viśēṣadravyabhōktāraṁ nāvajānīyāt tathā viśēṣadravyabhōktāpi sādhāraṇadravyabhōktāraṁ dōṣiṇaṁ na kuryyāt, yasmād īśvarastam agr̥hlāt|
4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. And, he shall be held up: for God is able 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 man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
aparañca kaścijjanō dinād dinaṁ viśēṣaṁ manyatē kaścittu sarvvāṇi dināni samānāni manyatē, ēkaikō janaḥ svīyamanasi vivicya niścinōtu|
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
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 liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
aparam asmākaṁ kaścit nijanimittaṁ prāṇān dhārayati nijanimittaṁ mriyatē vā 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 vayaṁ prāṇān dhārayāmastarhi prabhunimittaṁ dhārayāmaḥ, yadi ca prāṇān tyajāmastarhyapi prabhunimittaṁ tyajāmaḥ, ataēva jīvanē maraṇē vā vayaṁ prabhōrēvāsmahē|
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
yatō jīvantō mr̥tāścētyubhayēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ prabhutvaprāptyarthaṁ khrīṣṭō mr̥ta utthitaḥ punarjīvitaśca|
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou show contempt for thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
kintu tvaṁ nijaṁ bhrātaraṁ kutō dūṣayasi? tathā tvaṁ nijaṁ bhrātaraṁ kutastucchaṁ jānāsi? khrīṣṭasya vicārasiṁhāsanasya sammukhē sarvvairasmābhirupasthātavyaṁ;
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
yādr̥śaṁ likhitam āstē, parēśaḥ śapathaṁ kurvvan vākyamētat purāvadat| sarvvō janaḥ samīpē mē jānupātaṁ kariṣyati| jihvaikaikā tathēśasya nighnatvaṁ svīkariṣyati|
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
ataēva īśvarasamīpē'smākam ēkaikajanēna nijā kathā kathayitavyā|
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
itthaṁ sati vayam adyārabhya parasparaṁ na dūṣayantaḥ svabhrātu rvighnō vyāghātō vā yanna jāyēta tādr̥śīmīhāṁ kurmmahē|
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing 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 But if thy brother is grieved with thy food, now walkest thou not in love. Destroy not him with thy food, 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 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
aparaṁ yuṣmākam uttamaṁ karmma ninditaṁ na bhavatu|
17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
bhakṣyaṁ pēyañcēśvararājyasya sārō nahi, kintu puṇyaṁ śāntiśca pavitrēṇātmanā jāta ānandaśca|
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved by men.
ētai ryō janaḥ khrīṣṭaṁ sēvatē, sa ēvēśvarasya tuṣṭikarō manuṣyaiśca sukhyātaḥ|
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things which one may edify another.
ataēva yēnāsmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ parasparam aikyaṁ niṣṭhā ca jāyatē tadēvāsmābhi ryatitavyaṁ|
20 For the sake of food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
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 neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing by which thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
tava māṁsabhakṣaṇasurāpānādibhiḥ kriyābhi ryadi tava bhrātuḥ pādaskhalanaṁ vighnō vā cāñcalyaṁ vā jāyatē tarhi tadbhōjanapānayōstyāgō bhadraḥ|
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in what he approveth.
yadi tava pratyayastiṣṭhati tarhīśvarasya gōcarē svāntarē taṁ gōpaya; yō janaḥ svamatēna svaṁ dōṣiṇaṁ na karōti sa ēva dhanyaḥ|
23 And he that doubteth is condemned if he eateth, because he eateth not from faith: for whatever is not from faith is sin.
kintu yaḥ kaścit saṁśayya bhuṅktē'rthāt na pratītya bhuṅktē, sa ēvāvaśyaṁ daṇḍārhō bhaviṣyati, yatō yat pratyayajaṁ nahi tadēva pāpamayaṁ bhavati|
