1 Golidia 8

1 Wali, dilia ha: i manu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi ilima imunusa: , dilia meloa dedei adole ba: su liligi, amoma na da adole imunu. Dunu da amane sia: sa, “Ninia huluane da dawa: su gala.” Dafawane! Be amo dawa: su da gasa fi hou olelesa. Be asigidafa hou da eno dunu ilia hou asigilama: ne fidisa.

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.

2 Nowa dunu da hidale hi hou da bagade dawa: sa, amo da houdafa dawa: su hamedafa dawa:

If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know;

3 Be nowa da Godema asigi galea, Gode da amo dunu dawa:

but if any man loveth God, the same is known of him.

4 Amaiba: le, ha: i manu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima i liligi, ninia da moma: bela: ? Loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi da hamedafa esala liligi ea agoaila agoane, amo ninia dawa: Gode afadafa fawane esala, amo ninia dawa:

Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is [anything] in the world, and that there is no God but one.

5 Be dunu ilia lafidili ‘gode’ liligi amola ‘hina’ liligi eno, Hebene ganodini amola osobo bagade ganodini esala ilia da sia: sa.

For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;

6 Be ninima Gode afadafa fawane da esala. E da Edadafa, liligi huluane hahamoi dagoi. Ea hou olelemusa: , ninia da esala. Amola Hina Gode afadafa fawane, amo Yesu Gelesu esala. Ea hawa: hamobeba: le, liligi huluane hahamoi dagoi ba: i, amola Ea hamobeba: le, ninia da esala.

yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.

7 Be mogili ilia amo dafawane sia: hame dawa: Lalegagui dunu mogili da eso huluane musa: loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi amola eno a: silibu ea hou ilima bagadewane dawa: beba: le, amola ilia wali amo ha: i manu nasea, amo ha: i manu da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ amo ea liligi dawa: lala. Ilia asigi dawa: su da gasa hameba: le, ilia amo ha: i manu nasea, ilia hou wadela: mu ilia dawa: sa.

Howbeit in all men there is not that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as [of] a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

8 Be ha: i manu da ninia Godema a: silibu dawa: su hou hame fidisa. Ninia ha: i manu hame nasea, ninia a: silibu hou hame fisimu. Amo ha: i manuba: le, ninia a: silibu hou da hame asigilamu.

But meat will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.

9 Dilia da amo hou ganodini sema hame gala. Be dawa: ma! Dilia sema hame gala hou da gasa hame lalegagui dunu ilima dafasu hou olelesa: besa: le, dawa: ma!

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak.

10 Di da ‘dawa: su’ dunu, eno ilia da sia: sa. Be di da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi amo ea debolo diasu ganodini ha: i manu nasea, asigi dawa: su gasa hame dunu da amo hou ba: sea, e da amo ha: i manu beda: i, be dia hou ba: beba: le e da mae dafawaneyale dawa: le manu.

For if a man see thee which hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

11 Amo gasa hame dunu da dia fi dunu. Amola e gaga: ma: ne Yesu Gelesu da bogoi dagoi. Be amo dunu da dia ‘dawa: su’ hou ba: beba: le, gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.

For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

12 Amaiba: le, agoane hamosea, di da dia Yesu Ea hou lalegagui fi dunu, ea asigi dawa: su wadela: lesiba: le, ema wadela: le hamoi dagoi ba: mu. Amola Gelesuma wadela: le hamoi dagoi ba: mu.

And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ.

13 Amaiba: le ha: i manu da na fi dunu ea wadela: i hou hamosu logo fodosa galea, na fi dunu da wadela: le hamosa: besa: le, na da fedege agoane bu ha: i manu huluane hamedafa manu. (aiōn g165)

Wherefore, if meat maketh my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I make not my brother to stumble. (aiōn g165)
