1 Corinthians 8
1 And as touching things sacrificed vnto idols, wee knowe that wee all haue knowledge: knowledge puffeth vp, but loue edifieth.
Lino, ndambanga ncemwalalemba pa byakulya bishikubengwa kutumbwanga. Nicakubinga kwambeti twense tukute mano nomba mano akute kutwangisha bantu. Nsombi lusuno lonka elukute kwibaka.
2 Nowe, if any man thinke that hee knoweth any thing, hee knoweth nothing yet as hee ought to knowe.
Muntu lalibonongeti ukute lwishibo, usa muntu nkana uba ne lwishibo lwakwinshiba bintu mbuli mwelela kubinshibala.
3 But if any man loue God, the same is knowen of him.
Nomba muntu usuni Lesa ukute kwishibikwa ne Lesa.
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.
Lino ng'ambe makani a byakulya bishikubengwa kutumbwanga. Tucishi kwambeti tumbwanga tulemanininga cintu cabulapo, tucishi kwambeti kuli Lesa umowa.
5 For though there bee that are called gods, whether in heauen, or in earth (as there be many gods, and many lords)
Nabambi bakute kwambeti kwilu nambi panshi pano, pali bintu mbyobakute kukuweti balesa. Ee pali balesa bangi nebami bangi,
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.
nomba kuli njafwe kuli Lesa umowa, Bata, abo balalenga bintu byonse kayi engotwekalila. Kayi kuli njafwe kuli Mwami umowa Yesu klistu, uyo ngwalasebensesha Lesa pakulenga bintu byonse kufumina mulyendiye afwe tukute buyumi.
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.
Nomba ntebo bonse bacishi cancine ncine ici. Nabambi baleshibila kukambilila tumbwanga, mpaka lelo aba bantu balyanga byakulya bishikubengwa kutumbwanga, bakute kabacinshi kwambeti byabengwa kutumbwanga. Cebo cakubula lwinshibo lwa kupansanya caipa ne caina bakute kuyeyeti byakulya bilabasofwanya.
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.
Nicancinencine, cakulya nkacela kututwala pepi ne Lesa, nambi tulya, kayi nambi tubula kulya byakulya nabimbi paliya cilipo.
9 But take heede lest by any meanes this power of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weake.
Nomba cenjelani kusunguluka kwenu pakwinsa bintu, pakwinga ngaciba ceshikupesha bantu kwipisha kuli abo bakute lwinshibo lung'ana.
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?
Twambeti muntu ukute lwinshibo lung'ana, ukubona obe okute lwishibo kolyela mung'anda yakukambililamo tumbwanga, sena ici nteti akacibone kuba caina kwambeti neye alye cakulya cishikubengwa kutumbwanga?
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weake brother perish, for whome Christ died.
Neco uyo ukute lwinshibo lung'ana mwanse wakobe ngwalafwila klistu nukapesheti akataike cebo ca njobe.
12 Nowe when ye sinne so against the brethren, and wound their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christ.
Neco mulepishilinga Yesu Klistu pacindi mpomulepishilinga baklistu banenu abo bakute lwinshibo lung'ana lwakwinshiba caina ne caipa.
