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;
Lino vwimila vwa kyakulia fino fihumisivue litekolo kufihwani: tukagwile kuuti “Usue tweeni tulinuvumang'anyi.” Uvumang'anyi vuleta ulughinio, looli ulughano lujenga.
2 and if anyone thinks to know anything, he has not yet known anything according as it is required to know;
Nave umuunhu ghweni isagha kuuti akagwile limongo, umuunhu ujua nambe nakagwile heene jilondua akagule.
3 and if anyone loves God, this one has been known by Him.
Looli nave umuunhu amughanile u Nguluve, umuunhubujuo ikagulika nu mwene.
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;
Kange vwimila vwa fakulia fino fihumisivue fihumisivue litekelo ku fihweni: tukagwile kuuti “Ikihwani nakwekuuti kinu mu iisi iji,” ulwakuva nakwale u Nguluve ila jumo mwene.”
5 for even if there are those called gods, whether in Heaven, whether on earth—as there are many gods and many lords—
Ulwakuva kwevale vinga vano vitambulua manguluve ndavuve vulanga, nambe iisi, ndavule ghalivuo “Amanguluve na vatua vinga.”
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;
“Palikimo nakuva kulyusue kwale u Nguluve jumo mwene juno ghwa Nhaata, ifinu fyoni fihumile kwa mwene, tatusue tukale kwa mwene, u Mutwa jumo u Yesu Kilisite, juno vwimila umwene ifinu fyoni kwefile, kwa mwene jujuo na jusue kwetule.”
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.
Nambe vulevule, uvukagusi uvuo namwevule n'kate mwa muunhu ghweni. pauluo, avange valyahasing'ine kukufunya ku fihwani pakali apuo, nambe lino vali ifakulia ifi hwene kuuti kinu kino kihumisivue kuva litekelo ku fihwani. Inyivonelo save sisoveleng'ine ulwakuva mbotembote.
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;
Looli ikyakulia nakyekino kilatuhufia usue kwa Nguluve. Usue natulivavivi kyoongo nave natulile ikyakulia, nave uvulugu kyoongo nave tulile.
9 but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the weak,
Looli mulolelaghe ulwakuuti uvwavuke vwiinu vuleke kuva vwe vwambusio ulwa kun'kuvasia um'botebote mulwitiko.
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?
Leka usaghaghe kuuti umuunhu akuvwene, uve ghwejuno ulinuvukagusi, ghulia ikyakulia mu nyumba ija kufunyila ija fihwani. Inyivonelo sake umuunhu ujuo kwande sikunua pikagulika nambe jumwene jujuo valisaghe ifiinu fino vasanguile kuva litekelo kufihwani?
11 For the [one] being weak—the brother for whom Christ died—will perish by your knowledge.
Pa uluo vwimila vwa vukagusi vwako uvwa lweli ulwa muvuhumo vwa fihwani, n'kulu nambe umwanilumbu juno m'botem'bote, juno kange n'kilisite alyafwile vwimila umwene, itipulua.
12 And thus sinning in regard to the brothers, and striking their weak conscience—you sin in regard to Christ;
Pauluo, pano ghuvomba inyivi palikimo avakuulu nava lumbu vakomukusilemasia inyivonelo sivanave sino mbotembote, muvomba inyivi kwa Kilisite.
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)
Pauluo, nave ikyakulia kikwambusia pikunkuvasia un'kulu nambe umwanilumbu, nanilalia inyama kange, ulwakuuti nimwambusie unkulu nambe umwanilumbu kughua. (aiōn g165)
