1 Corinthians 8
1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.
Linu kuamana ni zilyo ziva nelwa ku va zimu. Twizi kuti “tuvonse twina ingana.” im ingana ileta mwipo kono ilato lizakisa.
2 And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
Haiva zumwi uhupula kuti wizi chimwi, zuna muntu kakwina chezi cha swanela kwiziva.
3 But if any man love YHWH, the same is known of him.
Kono yense yo saka Ireeza, zuna muntu wizi kuti Ireeza u musaka.
4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other Elohim 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 though there be that are called mighty ones, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be mighty ones many, and masters many, )
Mwendi va tewa kuti vazimu kuvi vwina, konse mwi hulu kapa ni hansi, sina muve njihile “vazimu” ni va “simwine.”
6 But to us there is but one Elohim, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Master Yahushua the Messiah, by whom are all things, and we by him.
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 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak 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 commendeth us not to YHWH: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
Kono zilyo kete zitu zimanine kwa Ireeza. Katu dodovela haiva katulile.
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
kono mutokomele kuti intukuluho yenu kanzi ivi kuti wina intumelo ifokola asitatale.
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered 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 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom the Messiah died?
Linu chevaka lye nkutwisiso kuamana ni vuniti vwa va zimu, va fokola, mukwangu yava fwili Kreste, mwe haiwe.
12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against the Messiah.
Linu hamu fosekeza bakwenu muholofaza izwalo lyavo
