1 Corinthians 8
1 And as touching things sacrificed vnto idols, wee knowe that wee all haue knowledge: knowledge puffeth vp, but loue edifieth.
Gape ke potso ya lona kaga go ja dijo tse di tlhabetsweng medimo ya disetwa. Mo potsong e mongwe le mongwe o ikutlwa gore karabo ya gagwe fela ke yone e e siameng! Mme le fa go ntse jalo go nna “moitse wa tsotlhe” go re dira gore re ipone botoka, mme se se tlhokegang tota, go aga phuthego ke lorato.
2 Nowe, if any man thinke that hee knoweth any thing, hee knoweth nothing yet as hee ought to knowe.
Fa mongwe a akanya gore o itse dikarabo tsotlhe, o supa bosenakitso jwa gagwe fela.
3 But if any man loue God, the same is knowen of him.
Mme motho yo o ratang Modimo ka boammaaruri ke yo o bulegetseng kitso ya Modimo.
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.
Jaanong ke eng kaga gone? A re tshwanetse go ja nama e e tlhabetsweng medimo ya disetwa? Ee, re a itse gore modimo wa sesetwa ga se Modimo tota, le gore go na le Modimo o le mongwe fela, mme e seng ope gape.
5 For though there bee that are called gods, whether in heauen, or in earth (as there be many gods, and many lords)
Ka fa bathong ba bangwe, go na le medimo e megolo e le mentsi kwa legodimong le mo lefatsheng.
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.
Mme rona re itse gore go na le Modimo o le mongwe fela, Rara, yo o dirileng dilo tsotlhe a bo a re dira gore re nne ba gagwe; le Morena a le mongwe fela ebong Jesu Keresete, yo o dirileng sengwe le sengwe a bo a re naya botshelo.
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.
Le fa go ntse jalo, Bakeresete ba bangwe ga ba lemoge selo se. Mo matshelong a bone otlhe ba ntse ba akantse medimo ya disetwa gore e a tshela, le go dumela gore dijo tse di diretsweng medimo ya disetwa di neetswe medimo tota. Jalo fa ba a ja dijo tseo di a ba sulafalela ebile di koafatsa digakolodi tsa bone.
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.
Gakologelwang fela gore Modimo ga o tlhokomele fa re di ja kgotsa re sa di je. Ga re molato fa re sa di je, ebile ga re botoka fa re di ja.
9 But take heede lest by any meanes this power of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weake.
Mme itlhokomele gore o se ka wa dirisa kgololesego ya gago go di ja, e se re kgotsa wa leofisa mokaulengwe mongwe yo o nang le tumelo e e bokoa.
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?
O a bona, se ke se se ka diragalang: Mongwe yo o akanyang go le phoso go ja dijo tse o tlaa go bona o o ja kwa tlung ya dijo ya Tempele, gonne o a itse fa go sena molato mo go tsone. Mme lo tlaa nna pelokgale thata go di ja le ene le fa ka nako tsotlhe a ntse a ikutlwa e le phoso.
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weake brother perish, for whome Christ died.
Jalo ka gore o “itse gore go siame go di ja,” o tlaa bo o tshwanetse go arabela go dira tshenyego e kgolo ya semowa mo mokaulengweng yo o nang le segakolodi se se boruma, yo Keresete a mo swetseng.
12 Nowe when ye sinne so against the brethren, and wound their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christ.
Mme ke sebe kgatlhanong le Keresete go leofela mokaulengwe wa gago ka go mo kgothatsa go dira sengwe se a akanyang se le phoso.
13 Wherefore if meate offende my brother, I wil eate no flesh while the world standeth, that I may not offend my brother. (aiōn g165)
Jalo fa nama e e ntshediwang medimo ya disetwa e tlaa leofisa mokaulengwe wa me, ga nkitla ke e ja mo botshelong jwa me, ka gore ga ke batle go mo leofisa. (aiōn g165)
