रोमी 14
1 कमजोर विश्वास भएका आफ्नो समूहका सदस्यहरूलाई अप्नाउन अस्वीकार नगर। अनि तिनीहरूको विचारमाथि तिनीहरूसित र्तक नगर।
2 आफूलाई जे मन पर्छ त्यो खान सक्छु भन्ने विश्वासहरू एउटा मानिसको हुन सक्छ। तर कमजोर विश्वास हुने अर्को मानिसले सोच्न सक्छ कि उ खाली साग-सब्जी मात्र खान सक्छ।
3 अनि जे पनि खान सक्छु भन्ने मानिसले त्यो साग-सब्जी मात्र खाने मानिस भन्दा उत्तम छु भनेर आफूलाई ठान्नु हुँदैन। अनि साग-सब्जी मात्र खाने मानिसले पनि सबै खाने मानिस गल्ती हो भनेर सोच्नु हुँदैन। परमेश्वरले ती दुवैलाई ग्रहण गर्नुहुन्छ।
4 तिमीले अरूको सेवकलाई जाँच्न सक्तैनौ। उसको स्वामीले मात्र त्यसको ठीक र बेठीकको निणर्य गर्नसक्छ। अनि परमप्रभुको सेवक ठीक बन्नेछ किनभने प्रभु तिनलाई ठीक बनाउनु सामर्थी हुनुहुन्छ।
5 कुनै मानिसले एउटा दिनलाई अर्को दिनभन्दा महत्वपूर्ण ठान्न सक्छ। अनि अर्को मानिसले सबै दिन एकै ठान्न सक्छ। हरेक मानिस आफ्नो विश्वासमा निश्चित हुनुपर्छ।
6 जसले एउटा दिन भन्दा अर्को दिन महत्वपूर्ण भनेर सोच्दछ उसले त्यो परमप्रभुको लागि सोंच्दैछ। अनि जसले सबै थोक खान्छु भन्छ त्यसले प्रभुको लागि खाँदैछ। हो, त्यस भोजनको लागि उसले प्रभुलाई धन्यवाद दिंदछ। अनि जसले केही थोक खान अस्वीकार गर्दछ जसले प्रभुकै लागि अस्वीकार गरिरहेछ। उसले पनि परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद दिंदछ।
7 हो, हमी सबैजना प्रभुको लागि बाँच्दछौं। हामी आफ्नै निम्ति बाँच्दैनौं अथवा आफ्नै निम्ति मर्दैनौं पनि ।
8 यदि हामी बौरीउठनु बच्नु भने हामी प्रभुको लागि बाँचिरहेछौं। अनि यदि हामी मर्छौं भने, हामी प्रभुको लागि मर्दछौं। यसैले हामी मरौं कि हामी बाँचौ हामी प्रभुकै हौं।
9 यही कारणले गर्दा ख्रीष्ट मर्नुभयो र मृत्युबाट बाँच्न भयो। ख्रीष्टले त्यसै गर्नुभयो र उहाँ मरेकाहरूको लागि पनि र बाँचेकाहरूको लागि पनि प्रभु हुनसक्नु भयो।
10 तब तिमी ख्रीष्टमा भाइ भनेर किन जाँच्छौ? अथवा तिमीले आफूलाई आफ्ना दाज्यु-भाइ भन्दा ठूला किन ठान्छौं? हामी सबैजना परमेश्वरका सम्मुख उभिनु पर्छ। अनि उहाँले हामीसबैलाई जाँच्नु हुन्छ।
11 हो, धर्मशास्त्रमा लेखिएको छः“प्रत्येक मानिस मेरो सामु झुक्नेछ, अनि प्रत्येकले परमेश्वरलाई मान्नेछ। निःसन्देह म बाँचे जस्तै, यी कुराहरू हुनेछन्, परमप्रभु भन्नु हुन्छ।”
12 यसकारण हामी प्रत्येकले परमेश्वरको अघाडी आफ्नो हिसाब दिनु पर्नेछ।अरूलाई पापी भनेर दोष नलगाऊ
13 यसैले एक अर्कालाई जाँच्ने काम बन्द गरौं। त्यसको सट्टामा तिमीले दाज्यु-भाइका वा दिदी-बहिनीका बाटोमा वाधा नहाल्ने वा केही त्यस्तो नर्गने निश्चय गर जसले गर्दा ती पाप गर्न तिर लग्लान्।
14 म प्रभु येशूमा हुँ। म जान्दछु कुनै खाद्य आफैमा फोहोर छैन। तर यदि कसैले फोहोर भनेर विश्वास गर्छ भने त्यो उसैको लागि फोहोर छ।
15 केही खाँदैमा यदि तिमीले आफ्ना दाज्यु-भाइ दिदी-बहिनीको भावनामा चोट पुर्याउँछौ भने तिमीले प्रेमको बाटो पछ्याउँदैनौ। कसैले गलत संझेको खाना खाएर तिमीले उसलाई नष्ट गर्नु हुँदैन। ख्रीष्ट त्यस मानिसको लागि पनि मर्नु भयो।
16 आफूलाई असल लागेको कुनै कुराको निन्दा हुन नदेऊ।
17 परमेश्वरको राज्यमा खानु र पिउनुको कुनै महत्व छैन। परमेश्वरको राज्यमा महत्वपूर्ण कूरा त यी हुन धार्मिकता, शान्ति र पवित्र आत्मामा आनन्द।
18 कसैले यस प्रकारले ख्रीष्टको सेवा गरे उसले परमेश्वरलाई खुशी पार्दछ। अनि त्यो मानिस अरूहरूद्वारा स्वीकृत हुनेछ।
19 यसैले कठोर परिश्रमको साथ त्यस्तो काम गरौं जसबाट शान्ति छाउँछ। अनि त्यस्तो काम गरौं जसमा कि त्यो एका अर्कामा सहयोग बन्न सकोस्।
20 भोजनले परमेश्वरको कार्य नष्ट गर्न नदेऊ। हरेक खाद्य खान लायकको हुन्छ। तर अर्कोलाई पापमा पार्ने खाना खानु अनुचित हो।
21 मासु, दाखरस वा अरू कुनै थोक जसले दाज्यू-भाइ, दिदी-बहिनीलाई पापमा धकेल्दछ। असल हो नखानुनै।
22 यी चिजहरूमा तिम्रो विश्वास परमेश्वर र आफूमाझ राख्नु पर्छ। अपराध बोध नगरी आफूले उचित ठहरयाएको काम गर्ने मानिस धन्य हो। उसलाई परमेश्वरबाट आशिष, प्रदान गरिन्छ।
23 तर कसैले शंका गर्दै केही कुरो खान्छ भने उ स्वयं नै दोषी हुँदछ। किन? किनभने उसलाई त्यो उचित हो भन्ने भरोसा भएन अनि भरोसा नभई गरेको जे कुरा पनि पाप हो।
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto 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.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
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.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
16 And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
20 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
