1 Corinthians 8
1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Linu kuamana ni zilyo ziva nelwa ku va zimu. Twizi kuti “tuvonse twina ingana.” im ingana ileta mwipo kono ilato lizakisa.
2 The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
Haiva zumwi uhupula kuti wizi chimwi, zuna muntu kakwina chezi cha swanela kwiziva.
3 But the one who loves God is known by God.
Kono yense yo saka Ireeza, zuna muntu wizi kuti Ireeza u musaka.
4 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.
Kuamana ni kulya zilyo zi vanelwa kuva zimu: Twizi kuti “muzimu we inu inkanda kakwina” mi “kuti kakwina ungi Ireeza kunde ya kwe.
5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
Mwendi va tewa kuti vazimu kuvi vwina, konse mwi hulu kapa ni hansi, sina muve njihile “vazimu” ni va “simwine.”
6 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.
Niha kuva vulyo kwetu, “Kwina fela Ireeza yenke ishetu, zonse zintu vizwa kwali, mi nje ye utu hala kali, ni Jesu Kreste Simwine yenke, iye umo zintu zonse zihala, iye umo tuhala.
7 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.
Ni hakuva vulyo, iyi izivo kaina ku zumwi ni zumwi. kono, vamwi vava ku lapela ziswaniso, mi va kulya zilyo uvu zi nelelwe ku ziswaniso. Che zwalo lyava lisakolete.
8 But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
Kono zilyo kete zitu zimanine kwa Ireeza. Katu dodovela haiva katulile.
9 Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
kono mutokomele kuti intukuluho yenu kanzi ivi kuti wina intumelo ifokola asitatale.
10 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?
mi pona chi kuwanika kuti zumwi u ku vwene, wina inzivo, kulya zilyo mwi tempele ya vazimu. lizwalo lifokola limu hambilize kuti alye zinelelwe kuva zimu.
11 So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
Linu chevaka lye nkutwisiso kuamana ni vuniti vwa va zimu, va fokola, mukwangu yava fwili Kreste, mwe haiwe.
12 By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
Linu hamu fosekeza bakwenu muholofaza izwalo lyavo
