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;
Hinu tilolayi vyakulya vyeviwusiwi ndava ya kutetela chimong'omong'o. Timanyili kuvya, tete tavoha tivii na luhala, nambu luhala ulo gakuvakita vandu vamekayi, nambu uganu ukumjenga.
2 and if anyone thinks to know anything, he has not yet known anything according as it is required to know;
Ngati mundu iholalela kuvya amanyili chindu, chakaka angamanya chindu chochoha chechikumgana kumanya.
3 and if anyone loves God, this one has been known by Him.
Nambu mwammanyili Chapanga mwenuyo amanyikini na Chapanga.
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;
Ndi, kuvala vyakulya vyevihuwusiwi kwa vimong'omong'o, timanyili kuvya chindu lepi pamulima, timanyili kuvya Chapanga ndi mmonga.
5 for even if there are those called gods, whether in Heaven, whether on earth—as there are many gods and many lords—
Hati ngati kuna vindu vyamahele vandu vakuvikemela vichapanga pamulima amala kunani kwa Chapanga, na hati ngati kuna vichapanga na vabambu vamahele,
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;
Kwitu tete avi Chapanga mmonga, Dadi, Muwumba wa vindu vyoha, ndava ya mwene tete tivili. Kangi avili BAMBU mmonga ndu, Yesu Kilisitu, ndi kwa njila yaki vindu vyoha vyawumbiwi, na tete titama ndava ya mwene.
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.
Nambu lepi vandu voha vevamanyili mambu ago. Muni vandu vangi vayovalili kutetela vimong'omong'o, vandu venavo pevilya vyakulya viwona ngati viwusiwi kwa vimong'omong'o. Na muni mitima yavi yilendili vikemewa vahakili.
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;
Nambu chakulya nakutipeleka papipi na Chapanga. Tikalekayi kulya tipungukiwa lepi chindu, tikalyayi nakuyonjokeswa chindu.
9 but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the weak,
Nambu, mujiyangalila uwaka winu ukoto kuvayoka vana sadika yidebe vayingila mukubuda.
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?
Muni mwangakangamala mtima, akakulola veve mweuvi na umanya wilya vyakulya munyumba ya kuyupila vimong'omong'o, wu, na mwene nakulya vyakulya vyeviwusiwi kwa vimong'omong'o?
11 For the [one] being weak—the brother for whom Christ died—will perish by your knowledge.
Hinu, mlongo waku mwenuy mweavi na sadika yangali makakala, yati iyagila kwa ndava ya veve, ndi Kilisitu afwili kwa ndava yaki
12 And thus sinning in regard to the brothers, and striking their weak conscience—you sin in regard to Christ;
Ngati mvabudisi valongo vinu, na kuvinisa mitima yavi muvya mumbudili Kilisitu.
