< 1 Corinthians 8 >
1 And as touching things sacrificed vnto idols, wee knowe that wee all haue knowledge: knowledge puffeth vp, but loue edifieth.
Sambano kwa ngani ja yakulya yetaje mbopesi kwa inyago tukumanyilila kuti wose tukwete umanyilisi. Umanyilisi ukututendekasya tulilape twachinsyene nambo unonyelo ukutugumba.
2 Nowe, if any man thinke that hee knoweth any thing, hee knoweth nothing yet as hee ought to knowe.
Mundu aganisyaga kuti akuchimanyilila chindu, nganaŵe kuchimanyilila chachili chose mpela yakuti pakusachilwa kwimanyilila.
3 But if any man loue God, the same is knowen of him.
Nambo iŵaga mundu akunnonyela Akunnungu, akumanyika ni Akunnungu.
4 Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed vnto idoles, we knowe that an idole is nothing in the worlde, and that there is none other God but one.
Nipele, kwa ngani ja yakulya yetaje mbopesi kwa inyago tukwimanyilila kuti inyago ngaŵa chindu pachilambo, ni kuti ngapagwa Akunnungu ŵane ikaŵe Akunnungu ŵamo pe.
5 For though there bee that are called gods, whether in heauen, or in earth (as there be many gods, and many lords)
Namuno ipali indu yejinji yati ŵandu akuiŵilanga minnungu, pachilambo pano ni kwinani, namuno kwana minnungu ni achambuje ŵajinji,
6 Yet vnto vs there is but one God, which is that Father, of whome are all things, and we in him: and one Lord Iesus Christ, by whome are all things, and we by him.
nambo kukwetuwe Akunnungu ali ŵamo pe ŵaali Atati jwagumbile yose, ni uweji tukutama kwa ligongo lya ŵelewo. Sooni tukwete Ambuje ŵamo pe ŵelewo ali Che Yesu Kilisito, kwalitala lya ŵelewo indu yose yagumbikwe, noweji tukutama kwalitala lya ŵelewo.
7 But euery man hath not that knowledge: for many hauing conscience of the idole, vntill this houre, eate as a thing sacrificed vnto the idole, and so their conscience being weake, is defiled.
Nambo ngaŵa kila mundu jwakwimanyilila yose yi, ŵandu ŵane ŵasyoŵelele kutaga mbopesi kwa inyago, mpaka sambano alyaga chakulya cho akuganisya chili cha inyago. Pakuwa miningwa jao jili jakulepetala akuliganisya kuti akulisakasya kwakulya chakulya cho.
8 But meate maketh not vs acceptable to God, for neither if we eate, haue we the more: neither if we eate not, haue we the lesse.
Chakulya ngachikukombola kutujausya chiŵandi ni Akunnungu, twalekaga kulya ngapagwa chachikutusoŵa, ni twalyaga ngapagwa chachikonjecheka kukwetu.
9 But take heede lest by any meanes this power of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weake.
Nambo nlilolechesye ni kulechelelwa kwenu, nkaika kwatendekasya ŵaali ni chikulupi cha kulepetala kwinjila mu sambi.
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge, sit at table in the idoles temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those things which are sacrificed to idoles?
Pakuŵa mundu jwaali ni chikulupi chakulepetala, ammonaga mmwe junkwimanyilila nkulya mu nyuumba ja inyago, ana ngasanyengeka nombejo kulya yakulya yetaje mbopesi kwa inyago?
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weake brother perish, for whome Christ died.
Kwayele, mundu jwaali ni chikulupi chakulepetala chasocheye kwa ligongo lya umanyilisi wenu, ni Kilisito ŵawile kwa liwamba lya jwelejo!
12 Nowe when ye sinne so against the brethren, and wound their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christ.
Iŵaga nkwasoyasya achinjenu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kwanti yeleyo, ni kujiulasya miningwa jao jakulepetala, nkwaleŵela Kilisito.
13 Wherefore if meate offende my brother, I wil eate no flesh while the world standeth, that I may not offend my brother. (aiōn )
Nipele chakulya chankuŵasyaga njangu jwakunkulupilila Kilisito ajinjile mu sambi, ngangulya nyama ng'o, pakuŵa nalyaga chinanneŵesye njangu jwakunkulupilila Kilisito ajinjile mu sambi. (aiōn )
