1 Corinthians 8
1 Now, with respect to meats offered to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up with pride, but love edifies.
Kwa nneyo, ga yalya ishoshiywe mbepei ku yanamu, tumumanyi kuti uwe tubhowe tushikola lumanyio, ikabheje lumanyio lunatenda bhandu bhaipunanje, ikabhe kupingana kunakwaataganga bhandu ntima.
2 If any one thinks that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet, as he ought to know it:
Aganishiya kuti anakushimanya shindu, kwa kweli akakushimanya shoshowe malinga shaapinjikwa kumanya.
3 but if any one loves God, he is taught by him).
Ikabheje mundu akwaapinga a Nnungu, a Nnungu bhammanyi jwene mundujo.
4 With respect, then, to the eating of meats offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
Kwa nneyo ga yalya ishoshiywe mbepei ku yanamu, tumumanyi kuti shanamu nngabha a Nnungu bha kweli, ikabheje a Nnungu bha kweli ni bhamope.
5 For though there are those which are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are many gods, and many lords, )
Nkali monaga ipali ishemwa ashinnungu, pa shilambolyo eu kunnungu, na malinga shibhalinginji ashinnungu na bhakulungwanji bhabhagwinji,
6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
ikabheje kwetu uwe, bhapali a Nnungu bhamope, Atati, bhapengenye indu yowe na kwa mashili ga bhenebho uwe tunalama. Tunakulupalila kuti bhapali Bhakulungwa bhamope a Yeshu Kilishitu pitila bhenebho a nnungu gubhapengenye indu yowe, ni bhakutupa gumi.
7 But all have not this knowledge; for some, under the persuasion that an idol is a reality, even yet eat meat, as if it were offered to an idol, and their conscience being weak, is defiled.
Ikabheje nngabha kila mundu anakwimanya yenei. Pabha bhapalinji bhananji bhayobhelelenje yanamu, mpaka nnaino pubhalyanganga yene yalyayo pubhaganishiyanga kuti ishishoywa mbepei ku yanamu. Pabha bhangashimilikanga mmitima jabhonji, pubhakwibhonanga bhanalebhanga.
8 But meat commends us not to God; for, neither if we eat are we better, nor, if we eat not, are we worse.
Ikabheje shalya shikakutubhika tome na a Nnungu. Tukalye shakwa shitutubhila, na tulyaga shakwa shitujenjeshewa.
9 But take heed, lest, by any means, this right of yours become a stumbling-block to those who are weak.
Ikabheje mwiteiganje, aki jenunji jinaatendanje bhangashimilikanga nngulupai bhatendanje yambi.
10 For, if any one see you, who have knowledge, reclining at table in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened, so that he will eat meats offered to idols?
Pabha, mundu akanabhe shimilika nngulupai, ammonaga mmwe nkwete lumanyio nnilya yene yalyayo nniekalu lya yanamu, bhuli, akatagwa ntima gwa lya indu ishoshiywe mbepei ku yanamu?
11 and will not the weak brother, for whom Christ died, perish through your knowledge?
Kwa nneyo, nnongo nnjenu jwangashimilika nngulupaijo jubhanng'wilile a Kilishitu, shaaobhe kwa ligongo lya lumanyio lwenu.
12 But if you sin in this way against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
Mwaalebhelangaga ashaalongo ajenunji nikwaulayanga mmitima jabhonji, penepo nnakwaalebhelanga a Kilishitu.
