1 Corinthians 8
1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Eshi ahusu evyalyae vyavifumizwe sadaka huvifwani(sanamu): timenye huje “ate tenti tili na maarifa.” Amaarifa galeta amadiholelo ulugano luzenga.
2 The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
Nkashele umuntu aiga emenye ijambo fulani, umuntu uyo samenye shashihwanziwa amanye.
3 But the one who loves God is known by God.
Nkashe umuntu umo ageewe Ungulubhi, umuntu uyo amanyihene nawo.
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.
Alengane nevyalye vyabhafumizye sadaka huvifwani: ate timenye huje “evifwani sehantu pansi epa,” nahaje huumo Ngulubhi uwamwao ali umo owene.”
5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
Maana bhahweli bhabhahwetwa bangulubhi bhiinji nkapansi au humwanya neshi shabhali aNgulubhi binji naagosi bhinji.”
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.
“Lelote hulite Ungulubhi ali uumo tu uyo yuise witu, ne vintu vyonti vyafumile hwa mwene, na hwa mwene nate tihweli.”
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.
Ezi sebhantu bonti bhazimenye maana bhamo bhahavwanaga abhombe emputo ezyeshifwani ata eshi evyalye evi vyabhalya bali shabhaiga sadaka zyeshifwani. Amoyo gabho gatejile gali madhifu.
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.
Ishalye sigashaitibhonesya hwa Ngulubhi. Siyo huje tibhabhibhi tee nkasigatilya nantele siyo huje tibhinza tee nkatilya.
9 Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
Lelo mubhe maso nelii peponjajile esho musahauisanye hunongwa ye vyalye na dhifu bhe lweteho.
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?
Aweseebha tenye umuntu nkalolile ulya vyamukhenwe umuntu uyo gwavitwa umwoyo gwakwe sewewe wananlanya?
11 So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
Awe nkumenye evintu evinza nevibhibhi usajilaje uwa nuwenyu asahateje hunongwa ya amanye hwaho wope uyo uYesu afweleye.
12 By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
Namubhomba iyavisye abhanje muhuvisya yu Yesu namuvwalazya amoyo gabhantu muhuvwalazya yu Yesu.
