1 Akorinto 8
1 Tsopano za chakudya choperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano: Ife tidziwa kuti tonse tili ndi chidziwitso. Komatu chidziwitso chokha chimadzitukumula, koma chikondi ndicho chimapindulitsa.
devaprasāde sarvveṣām asmākaṁ jñānamāste tadvayaṁ vidmaḥ| tathāpi jñānaṁ garvvaṁ janayati kintu premato niṣṭhā jāyate|
2 Munthu amene amaganiza kuti amadziwa kanthu, ndiye kuti sakudziwa monga mmene amayenera kudziwira.
ataḥ kaścana yadi manyate mama jñānamāsta iti tarhi tena yādṛśaṁ jñānaṁ ceṣṭitavyaṁ tādṛśaṁ kimapi jñānamadyāpi na labdhaṁ|
3 Koma munthu amene amakonda Mulungu amadziwika ndi Mulunguyo.
kintu ya īśvare prīyate sa īśvareṇāpi jñāyate|
4 Choncho kunena za chakudya choperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano; ife tikudziwa kuti mafano si kanthu nʼpangʼonongʼono pomwe pa dziko lapansi, ndiponso kuti palibe Mulungu wina koma mmodzi yekha.

5 Popeza kuti ngakhale pali yotchedwa milungu, kaya ndi kumwamba kapena pa dziko lapansi (poti ilipodi milungu yambirimbiri ndi ambuye ambirimbiri),
svarge pṛthivyāṁ vā yadyapi keṣucid īśvara iti nāmāropyate tādṛśāśca bahava īśvarā bahavaśca prabhavo vidyante
6 koma kwa ife pali Mulungu mmodzi yekha, Atate, zinthu zonse zinachokera mwa Iye ndipo ndife ake. Komanso pali Ambuye mmodzi Yesu Khristu kumene zinthu zonse zinachokera ndipo mwa Iye ife tili ndi moyo.

7 Koma saliyense amadziwa zimenezi. Alipo ena ozolowera mafano kwambiri mwakuti akadya chakudya chotere amaganiza kuti chakudyacho chinaperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano. Ndiye poti chikumbumtima chawo nʼchofowoka chimadetsedwadi.

8 Koma chakudya sichitisendeza kufupi ndi Mulungu. Tikapanda kudya si vuto, tikadya sitisinthikanso.

9 Komabe samalani kuti ufulu wanu ochita zinthu usafike pokhumudwitsa ofowoka.
ato yuṣmākaṁ yā kṣamatā sā durbbalānām unmāthasvarūpā yanna bhavet tadarthaṁ sāvadhānā bhavata|
10 Pakuti ngati aliyense wachikumbumtima chofowoka akakuonani achidziwitsonu mukudya mʼnyumba yopembedzera mafano, kodi iyeyo sichidzamulimbitsa mtima kuti azidya chakudya choperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano?
yato jñānaviśiṣṭastvaṁ yadi devālaye upaviṣṭaḥ kenāpi dṛśyase tarhi tasya durbbalasya manasi kiṁ prasādabhakṣaṇa utsāho na janiṣyate?
11 Kotero kuti chifukwa cha chidziwitso chanu mʼbale wofowokayu amene chifukwa cha iye, Khristu anafa, wawonongeka chifukwa cha chidziwitso chanu.
tathā sati yasya kṛte khrīṣṭo mamāra tava sa durbbalo bhrātā tava jñānāt kiṁ na vinaṁkṣyati?
12 Mukamachimwira abale anu motere ndikuwawonongera chikumbumtima chawo chofowokacho, mukuchimwira Khristu.

13 Nʼchifukwa chake ngati zimene ine ndimadya zichititsa mʼbale wanga kugwa mu tchimo, sindidzadyanso chakudyacho kuti mʼbaleyo ndisamuchimwitse. (aiōn g165)
