1 Corinthians 8
1 And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love builds up;
Meikaphawk hmalah thueng e sathei canei kong dawk, kapek thainae be na tawn awh tie ka panue. Hatei, thoumthainae ni a kâoup sak. Lungpatawnae ni a roung sak.
2 and if anyone thinks to know anything, he has not yet known anything according as it is required to know;
Ka panue toe ka tet e ni panue hane yit touh panuek hoeh rah.
3 and if anyone loves God, this one has been known by Him.
Cathut ka lungpataw e tami teh, Cathut ni a panue.
4 Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;
Meikaphawk hmalah thueng e sathei canei kong hoi kâkuen lah, meikaphawk teh talaivan dawk banglahai awmhoeh. Cathut buet touh dueng doeh kaawm tie panue awh.
5 for even if there are those called gods, whether in Heaven, whether on earth—as there are many gods and many lords—
Bangkongtetpawiteh cathutnaw, bawipanaw telah kaw e patetlah talai hoi kalvan vah cathutnaw telah kaw e moikapap ao ei,
6 yet to us [is] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom [are] all things, and we through Him;
maimouh hane teh Pa Cathut buet touh dueng doeh kaawm. Ahni koehoi hnocawngca pueng a tho teh, maimanaw hai Cathut dawk hring awh. Maimae Bawipa tie Jisuh Khrih buet touh dueng doeh kaawm, ahni koehoi hnocawngca pueng a tho teh, maimouh teh hote Bawipa dawk hring awh.
7 but not in all men [is] the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, until now, eat [it] as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
Hatei, panuethainae tami pueng ni tawn awh hoeh. Tami tangawn teh, meikaphawk bawknae nuen a lungthung ao rah dawkvah, thueng e sathei a canei nah thoehawi panuenae a thayoun dawkvah kakhin e lah ao awh.
8 But food does not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;
Rawca lahoi Cathut hmalah minhmai kahawi hmu e na hoeh. Ca dawkvah bet ahawinae awmhoeh, ca hoeh dawk hai bet hawihoehnae awmhoeh.
9 but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the weak,
Hatei, nangmouh na hloutnae teh, a thakayounnaw hanlah, kamthuinae lah ao hoeh nahan kâhruetcuet awh.
10 for if anyone may see you that have knowledge in an idol’s temple reclining to eat, will not his conscience—he being weak—be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols?
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kapek thainae na tawn nahlangva, meikaphawk bawkim dawk e na ca awh e hah, tami alouke ni hmawt pawiteh, thoehawi panuenae a thakayounnaw niteh, meikaphawk hmalah thueng e sathei moi ca hanelah taranhawi awh mahoeh na maw.
11 For the [one] being weak—the brother for whom Christ died—will perish by your knowledge.
Nange lungangnae ni, tha kayoun e hmaunawngha, Khrih ni ahnimouh hanlah a due ei, rawknae koe a phakhai toe.
12 And thus sinning in regard to the brothers, and striking their weak conscience—you sin in regard to Christ;
Hettelah hmaunawngha lathueng vah na yon awh navah ahnimanaw panuenae kayoun ca e naw hmâ na paca awh toe. Hatdawkvah Khrih koe na yon awh toe.
