रोमी 14
1 बहसहरूको बारेमा न्याय नगरीकनै विश्वासमा कमजोर हुनेलाई ग्रहण गर ।
I now pass to another subject. Receive as a friend a man whose faith is weak, but not for the purpose of deciding mere matters of opinion.
2 एक जनासँग कुनै पनि थोक खाने विश्वास हुन्छ, अर्को जो कमजोर छ, त्यसले सागसब्जी मात्र खान्छ ।
One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while a man of weaker faith eats nothing but vegetables.
3 सबै थोक खानेले सबै थोक नखानेलाई घृणा नगरोस् । अनि सबै थोक नखानेले सबै थोक खानेको न्याय नगरोस् । किनकि उसलाई परमेश्वरले ग्रहण गर्नुभएको छ ।
Let not him who eats certain food look down upon him who abstains from it, nor him who abstains from it find fault with him who eats it; for God has received both of them.
4 अरूको नोकरको न्याय गर्ने तिमी को हौ? यो त्यसको मालिकको सामु नै खडा हुन्छ वा पतन हुन्छ । तर त्यसलाई खडा गराइनेछ, किनकि प्रभु त्यसलाई खडा गराउन सक्षम हुनुहुन्छ ।
Who are you that you should find fault with the servant of another? Whether he stands or falls is a matter which concerns his own master. But stand he will; for the Master can give him power to stand.
5 एक जनाले कुनै दिनलाई अर्कोभन्दा मूल्यको मान्छ । अर्कोले हरेक दिनलाई समान रूपमा लिन्छ । हेरक आ-आफ्नै मनमा विश्वस्त होस् ।
One man esteems one day more highly than another; another esteems all days alike. Let every one be thoroughly convinced in his own mind.
6 जसले कुनै दिन पालन गर्छ, त्यसले प्रभुकै निम्ति पालन गर्छ, र जसले खान्छ, त्यसले प्रभुकै निम्ति खान्छ, किनकि त्यसले परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छ । जसले खाँदैन, त्यसले प्रभुकै निम्ति खानबाट आफूलाई रोक्छ ।
He who regards the day as sacred, so regards it for the Master's sake; and he who eats certain food eats it for the Master's sake, for he gives thanks to God; and he who refrains from eating it refrains for the Master's sake, and he also gives thanks to God.
7 किनकि हामी कोही पनि आफ्नै लागि जिउँदैनौँ र कोही पनि आफ्नै निम्ति मर्दैनौँ ।
For not one of us lives to himself, and not one dies to himself.
8 किनकि यदि हामी जिउँछौँ भने, प्रभुकै निम्ति जिउँछौँ र यदि हामी मर्छौं भने, हामी प्रभुकै निम्ति मर्छौं । त्यसैले, हामी चाहे जिऔँ वा मरौँ, हामी प्रभुकै हौँ ।
If we live, we live to the Lord: if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9 यही उद्देश्यको निम्ति ख्रीष्ट मर्नुभयो र फेरि जीवित हुनुभयो, ताकि उहाँ मरेका र जीवितहरू दुवैका प्रभु हुन सक्नुभएको होस् ।
For this was the purpose of Christ's dying and coming to life--namely that He might be Lord both of the dead and the living.
10 तर तिमीहरू किन आफ्नो भाइको न्याय गर्छौ? अनि तिमी किन आफ्नो भाइलाई तुच्छ ठान्छौ? किनकि हामी सबै परमेश्वरको न्याय आसनको सामु खडा हुनेछौँ ।
But you, why do you find fault with your brother? Or you, why do you look down upon your brother? We shall all stand before God to be judged;
11 किनकि यस्तो लेखिएको छ, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “जस्तो म जीवित छु, मेरो निम्ति हरेक घुँडा टेक्नेछ र हरेक जिब्रोले परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्नेछ ।”
for it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall make confession to God.'"
12 यसैले, हामी हरेकले परमेश्वर स्वयम्लाई लेखा दिनुपर्नेछ ।
So we see that every one of us will give account of himself to God.
13 यसकारण, एक-अर्काको न्याय नगरौँ, तर बरु, यो अठोट गरौँ, कि हामी कसैले आफ्नो भाइको निम्ति ठेस लाग्ने थोक वा पासो राख्नेछैनौँ ।
Therefore let us no longer judge one another; but, instead of that, you should come to this judgement--that we must not put a stumbling-block in our brother's path, nor anything to trip him up.
14 म यो जान्दछु र म प्रभु येशूमा विश्वास गर्दछु, कि कुनै पनि थोक आफैँ अशुद्ध हुँदैन । जसले कुनै थोकलाई अशुद्ध भनी ठान्छ, त्यसको निम्ति मात्र यो अशुद्ध हुनेछ ।
As one who lives in union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am certain that in its own nature no food is 'impure'; but if people regard any food as impure, to them it is.
15 यदि खानाले गर्दा तिम्रो भाइलाई चोट पुग्छ भने, तिमी प्रेममा चलिरहेका छैनौ । जसको निम्ति ख्रीष्ट मर्नुभयो त्यसलाई तिम्रो खानाले नष्ट नपार ।
If your brother is pained by the food you are eating, your conduct is no longer controlled by love. Take care lest, by the food you eat, you lead to ruin a man for whom Christ died.
16 यसैले, तिम्रा असल कार्यहरूले तिनीहरूलाई गिल्ला गर्ने नतुल्याओस् ।
Therefore do not let the boon which is yours in common be exposed to reproach.
17 किनकि परमेश्वरको राज्य खाने र पिउनेबारे होइन, तर पवित्र आत्मामा धार्मिकता, शान्ति र आनन्दबारे हो ।
For the Kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of right conduct, peace and joy, through the Holy Spirit;
18 किनकि यसरी ख्रीष्टको सेवा गर्ने व्यक्ति परमेश्वरको निम्ति ग्रहणयोग्य र मानिसहरूद्वारा समर्थन गरिएको हुन्छ ।
and whoever in this way devotedly serves Christ, God takes pleasure in him, and men highly commend him.
19 यसैले, शान्तिका कुराहरूका र एक-अर्कालाई निर्माण गर्ने कुराहरूका पाछि लागौँ ।
Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character.
20 खानाको कारणले परमेश्वरको कामलाई नष्ट नगर । वास्तवमा सबै थोक शुद्ध छन्, तर जसले खान्छ र त्यसलाई ठेस खान लगाउँछ, त्यसको निम्ति यो दुष्टता हो ।
Do not for food's sake be throwing down God's work. All food is pure; but a man is in the wrong if his food is a snare to others.
21 मासु नखानु, मद्यपान नगर्नु, र आफ्नो भाइलाई चोट पुर्याउने कुनै पनि कुरा नगर्नु असल हो ।
The right course is to forego eating meat or drinking wine or doing anything that tends to your brother's fall.
22 तिमीसँग यी विशेष विश्वासहरू छन्, तिनीहरूलाई आफू र परमेश्वरको बिचमा नै राख । आफैँ मञ्जुर भएको कुरामा आफैँलाई दोषी नतुल्याउने मानिस धन्यको हो ।
As for you and your faith, keep your faith to yourself in the presence of God. The man is to be congratulated who does not pronounce judgement on himself in what his actions sanction.
23 जसले शङ्का गरेर खान्छ, यो विश्वासबाट नभएको हुनाले त्यो दोषी ठहरिन्छ । अनि जे विश्वासबाट आएको होइन, त्यो पाप हो ।
But he who has misgivings and yet eats meat is condemned already, because his conduct is not based on faith; for all conduct not based on faith is sinful.
