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;
Woli ingulu ye bhilyo bhinu bhisosibhwe bhiyanwa ku masusano: echimenya ati “Eswe bhona chili no bhwenge.” Obhwenge obhuleta echigundu, tali elyenda elyumbaka.
2 and if anyone thinks to know anything, he has not yet known anything according as it is required to know;
Ikabhati omunu wona wona ketogelati kamenya omusango mulebhe, omunu oyo atakumenya kutyo jimwiile okumenya.
3 and if anyone loves God, this one has been known by Him.
Nawe umwi wemwe akamwenda Nyamuanga, omunu oyo kamenyekana nage.
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;
Mbe ingulu yo kulya bhilyo bhinu bhisosibhwe bhiyanwa ku masusano: echimenya ati “amasusano bhitali bhinu kuchalo anu,” na ati atalio Nyamuanga undi ila ni umwila.”
5 for even if there are those called gods, whether in Heaven, whether on earth—as there are many gods and many lords—
Kulwokubha bhalio bhamfu bhanu abhabhilikilwa bha mungu yakabhee nolo mulwile nolo munsi, lwakutyo bhali “bhamungu na bhakulu bhamfu.”
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;
“Nawe kwiswe chili na Nyamuanga umwila unu ali Lata, ebhinu bhyona bhisokele kumwene, neswe chikae kumwene, na Latabhugenyi umwi Yesu Kristo, unu kumwene ebhinu bhyona bhyabheewo, na kumwene eswe chilio.”
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.
Nolo kutyo, obhumenyi bhunu bhutali munda ya bhuli munu. nawe, abhandi abhasangila okutambila ebhisusano munsiku jainyuma, nolo woli abhalya ebhilyo kuti bhisosibhwe bhiyanwa kumasusano. Emitima jebhwe jijigilwe kwokubha nimilenga.
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;
Nawe ebhilyo bhitachikomesha eswe ku Nyamuanga. Eswe chitali bhabhibhi muno chikalema okulya, nolo bhakisi muno chikalya.
9 but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the weak,
Nawe mubhe nobhwitegelesha ati obhwiyaganyulo bhwemwe bhutaja kubha chikujulo kuunu ali mulenga mulikisha.
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?
Ebu iganilishati omunu akulola, awe unu uli no bhwenge, nulya ebhilyo mwi yekalu lya masusano. Omutima gwo munu oyo gutakulamula ona alye ebhinu bhinu bhisosibhwe bhiyanwa bhya masusano?
11 For the [one] being weak—the brother for whom Christ died—will perish by your knowledge.
Kulwejo ingulu yo bhumenyi bhwao bhwe chimali ingulu yo bhwambilo bhwe bhisusano, mulawasu na muyala wanyu unu ali mulenga, unu ona Kristo afuye ingulu yae, kasimagisibhwa.
12 And thus sinning in regard to the brothers, and striking their weak conscience—you sin in regard to Christ;
Kulwejo, ukamenya ebhibhibhi ingulu yo mumula wanyu na bhayala bhanyu no kujijimya emitima jebhwe jinu jili milenga, omukola ebhibhibhi ingulu ya Kristo.
13 for this reason, if food causes my brother to stumble, I may not eat flesh—throughout the age—that I may not cause my brother to stumble. (aiōn g165)
Kulwejo, bhikabha ebhilyo nibhikola okwikujula kwa bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, ntakulya nyama kata, koleleki ntaja kumukola omula wasu no muyala wasu okugwa. (aiōn g165)
