1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Sambano kwa ngani ja yakulya yetaje mbopesi kwa inyago tukumanyilila kuti wose tukwete umanyilisi. Umanyilisi ukututendekasya tulilape twachinsyene nambo unonyelo ukutugumba.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
Mundu aganisyaga kuti akuchimanyilila chindu, nganaŵe kuchimanyilila chachili chose mpela yakuti pakusachilwa kwimanyilila.
3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by him.
Nambo iŵaga mundu akunnonyela Akunnungu, akumanyika ni Akunnungu.
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one.
Nipele, kwa ngani ja yakulya yetaje mbopesi kwa inyago tukwimanyilila kuti inyago ngaŵa chindu pachilambo, ni kuti ngapagwa Akunnungu ŵane ikaŵe Akunnungu ŵamo pe.
5 For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"
Namuno ipali indu yejinji yati ŵandu akuiŵilanga minnungu, pachilambo pano ni kwinani, namuno kwana minnungu ni achambuje ŵajinji,
6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Yeshua Meshikha, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
nambo kukwetuwe Akunnungu ali ŵamo pe ŵaali Atati jwagumbile yose, ni uweji tukutama kwa ligongo lya ŵelewo. Sooni tukwete Ambuje ŵamo pe ŵelewo ali Che Yesu Kilisito, kwalitala lya ŵelewo indu yose yagumbikwe, noweji tukutama kwalitala lya ŵelewo.
7 However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being so accustomed to idols until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
Nambo ngaŵa kila mundu jwakwimanyilila yose yi, ŵandu ŵane ŵasyoŵelele kutaga mbopesi kwa inyago, mpaka sambano alyaga chakulya cho akuganisya chili cha inyago. Pakuwa miningwa jao jili jakulepetala akuliganisya kuti akulisakasya kwakulya chakulya cho.
8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
Chakulya ngachikukombola kutujausya chiŵandi ni Akunnungu, twalekaga kulya ngapagwa chachikutusoŵa, ni twalyaga ngapagwa chachikonjecheka kukwetu.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
Nambo nlilolechesye ni kulechelelwa kwenu, nkaika kwatendekasya ŵaali ni chikulupi cha kulepetala kwinjila mu sambi.
10 For if someone sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
Pakuŵa mundu jwaali ni chikulupi chakulepetala, ammonaga mmwe junkwimanyilila nkulya mu nyuumba ja inyago, ana ngasanyengeka nombejo kulya yakulya yetaje mbopesi kwa inyago?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Meshikha died.
Kwayele, mundu jwaali ni chikulupi chakulepetala chasocheye kwa ligongo lya umanyilisi wenu, ni Kilisito ŵawile kwa liwamba lya jwelejo!
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Meshikha.
Iŵaga nkwasoyasya achinjenu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kwanti yeleyo, ni kujiulasya miningwa jao jakulepetala, nkwaleŵela Kilisito.
13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I do not cause my brother to stumble. (aiōn g165)
Nipele chakulya chankuŵasyaga njangu jwakunkulupilila Kilisito ajinjile mu sambi, ngangulya nyama ng'o, pakuŵa nalyaga chinanneŵesye njangu jwakunkulupilila Kilisito ajinjile mu sambi. (aiōn g165)
