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 concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.
2 Wu tater ni wu wundi wa wu to kpe wana takpe na, indi biki ana tokpe rhina ni mer ma.
But if any man conceit that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 Du indi wa kpayeme ni irji, wu irji a to indi ki.
But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
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.
Now concerning eating things sacrificed unto idols: we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other 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 though there are gods so called, whether celestial or terrestrial, (as of this sort there are gods many, and lords many; )
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
but to us there is one God, the Father; of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
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.
Howbeit there is not in all men this knowledge; but some having conscientious respect for the idol to this moment, eat the meat as sacrificed to the idol; and their conscience being weak, 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 meat commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat are we the better, or if we eat not are we the worse.
9 Wuka mlaya na du zre me du hei wa ni du rhi joku nikon Rji na waw hei ni rarraunar ban gaskiya.
But take heed that this power of yours become not an occasion of stumbling 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 any man see thee that hast knowledge, sitting in an idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat what is 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.
And the weak brother will be destroyed by thy knowledge, for whom Christ died.
12 Wuta lha ter ni mini vayi me, wi a kpa mer mba ti meme wu lhter ni Rji.
But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
