1 Korinthians 8
1 Nitre biri wa ba ti niwa ana hei nikon Rji na, wawu a hei nikon wu hadaya guma kai kito. “wuki hei nito kpiwa ba tsor” wu to bu din ani ya da gyi santu wu kpe wa zanki wa wuyi ki kpayi ni gbabu ni mla kpabu tei.
Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 Wu tater ni wu wundi wa wu to kpe wana takpe na, indi biki ana tokpe rhina ni mer ma.
The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
3 Du indi wa kpayeme ni irji, wu irji a to indi ki.
But the one who loves God is known by God.
4 Ni ter biri wa ba ti ni guma kai hadaya, kito ni “Gunki ni gbugbulu ana kpe na”, wa hei naki, “Irji ri ana hei na Irji riri wa a tei ta.
So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5 U kita banya kiya rito iri mri Rji bi ziza wa ba yoh bani allo li ba hei ni shulu da hei ni gbugblu nawa irji “gbugbulu ba hei ni” alloli ni iyayengiji.
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
6 Du naki nikita, ki hei ni Rji rhiri wa wawu a tembu, wawuyi du kpi ni son bu ki hei ni who ma ni verma Yesu Krisiti Irji mbu ni wuyi ikpi bi gbugbluyi ba hei ta wawu kison ni wawuyi
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.
7 Du naki, ana ko nha a hei ni toyi naki na ko naki, ikpi biwa batei wa riga da wu ce na biwa ba bauta ni gunki wu ba rhibinyi wa ba tei ni gumalia, Wu mer mba a riga tei meme ye isor a riga da ti kpanye.
But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
8 Wu kpe wa kiri anawawu nisa kika to Rji na. Ana meme na wukina rina, wu na bina meha wuki ta ri.
But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9 Wuka mlaya na du zre me du hei wa ni du rhi joku nikon Rji na waw hei ni rarraunar ban gaskiya.
Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
10 U toki indi wa ato wu ndi u hei ni ilimi u si rhi ni ba ni kobi wu gunki. Toki wuna zo u yada a ni kri gbangban ni kon Rji na da njunkon wu rhi biri wa mlatei ni bi wu brji.
For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?
11 Nitu to, me gre ni kpe wu bima ni wujaji, u to gumaka, iwa ana hei ni gbeigble na wa a vayi iwa kristi a kwiu ni tuma ni ti meme.
So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
12 Wuta lha ter ni mini vayi me, wi a kpa mer mba ti meme wu lhter ni Rji.
By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
