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;
Vulevule ifyakhulya ifivahuminche isadaka ukhuva khikhwani: Tulumanyile ukhuta “Ufwe twivoni tulinuluhala.” Uluhala luleta ulwivono, hange ulugano lunchenga.
2 and if anyone thinks to know anything, he has not yet known anything according as it is required to know;
Ingave umunu uvavenchage ita akhimanyile mkhinu ikyavenchage salumanyile umuyunogiwa ukhu lumanya.
3 and if anyone loves God, this one has been known by Him.
Ulwa khuva yingave umunu umo aganile nukhuvagana nu khugana u Nguluve umunu uyu vamanyile na vope.
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;
Lino khumbombo iyakhulya ifyakhula ifi va huminche isadakha ni ikhikhwani: twalumanyile khuta “Khikhwani syokhinu mukhilunga ikhi.” Ulwakhuva asikhuli uNguluve nu vyaliyumu.”
5 for even if there are those called gods, whether in Heaven, whether on earth—as there are many gods and many lords—
Ulwa khuva avingi avilangiwe khuminguluve igyanekhelo khukhyanya na mukhilunga, ndavuvalivo “avanguluve avatwa vavingi.”
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;
“Ingave khulyufwe khwale uNguluve yumo uvita vidada, veto vyoni fihumile khumwene nufwe tutama khumwene, nutwa u Yesu uKlisite ulwa khuva ifinu fipeliwe nu mwene ukhuhuma khumwene pwale na yufwe putule.
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.
Lino uvumanyi uwa, wasikhuli mugati mwavimunu. Ulwakhuva avange vikhihanja ulwisayo ulwa fikhwani ukhuhuma khatale, lino vilya ivyakhulya ifyo ukhuta khinukhekhi ikhihuminche ifyavupe ni khikhwani. Amasago ga munu uyu giva sagidihine nave ukhuta alye amasago aga ujaji nje nu vujilamakha.
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;
Ulwakhuva ikhyakulyi sakhikhavonekhe ukhuta kya Nguluve. Ufwe twale vavivi lweli ukhuta tulekhe ukhulya, nu vunonu woni vutulile.
9 but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the weak,
Muvenchage nu luhala ulwa khuva uvugatalufu wito vulekhe ukhuva vugatancho nu vupepe khulwidikho.
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?
Iga usage ukhuta umunu uyu avonikhe, nuve viwale, nuve viwale nu vumanyi, wilya ikhya khuliya nu khuhekhela ikhikhwani. Amasago genyo umunu uyu sagikhiwidikhila vulevule nu mwene ukhulya ifinu ifihumile khunekhelo ne khikhwani.
11 For the [one] being weak—the brother for whom Christ died—will perish by your knowledge.
Ulwa khuva uvumanyile uwayilweli wakho ukhuhuma khuvutengulelo uwa khikhwani, udimi nu ng'inja vakho upepe, uva Klisite afwule ukhuyancha ikhilunga.
12 And thus sinning in regard to the brothers, and striking their weak conscience—you sin in regard to Christ;
Upuvuvomba imbivi nu ng'anchovo nu khulema ncha amasago gakho nu vupepe numbula u Klisite.
