1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Nambeambe kuhusu vyakulya yaiboyilwe sadaka kwa sanamu: tutangite panga, “Twenga twabote twabile ni maarifa.” Maarifa uleta maipuno, bali upendo uchanga.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
Mana itei yeyote ywawaza panga atangite likowe fulani, mundu yoo bado atangite kwaa impalika yowa.
3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by him.
Lakini mana itei yumo winu ampendike Nnongo, mundu yoo atangike ni ywenge.
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.
Bai kuhusu lya chakulya yaiboyelwa sadaka kwa sanamu: tutangite kuwa “sanamu ni ilebe kwaa mu'dunia yee,” ni ya kuwa ntopo Nnongo ila yumo kae.”
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;"
Kwa mana kwabile baingi bakemelwa nnongo mana itei ni kumaunde au mu'dunia, mana ya babile “nnongo ni mangwana banyansima.”
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.
Mana itei kwetu kwabile ni Nnongo yumo kae ywabile nga Tate, na Ngwana yumo Yesu Kristo, ywabile ambaye pitya ywembe ilebe yoti ibile, na pitya ywembe twenga tubile.”
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.
Hata nyoo, ujuzi woo ubile kwaa nkati ya kila yumo. Badala yake, benge batishiriki ibada ya sanamu hapo zamani, ni hata nambeambe balya vyakula kati panga ni ilebe chapangilwa sadaka kwa sanamu. Dhamiri yabe itipotoshwa kwa mana yabile dhaifu.
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.
Lakini chakulya chatuthibitisha kwaa twenga kwa Nnongo. twenga twa'abaya muno kati twaliya kwaa, wala wema muno mana itei twalyaa.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
Lakini mube makini panga uhuru winu kwana ube sababu ya kumkwaza ywabile dhaifu katika imani.
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?
Ebu waza panga mundu akubweni, wenga waubile ni ujuzi, walya chakulya mu'lihekalu lya sanamu. damiri yake mundu ywoo ithibitika kwaa hata ywembe ni ywembe alya ilebe yaitolewa sadaka kwa sanamu?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Meshikha died.
Kwa eyo kwa sababu ya ufahamu wako wa ukweli nnani ya asili ya sanamu, muinja ni nnombo wako ywabile dhaifu, ywabile pia Kristo awile kwa ajili yake, alowa angamizwa.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Meshikha.
Hivyo, paupangite sambi dhidi ya muinja ni nlobo bako ni kuzijeruhi dhamiri yaibile dhaifu, mpangite sambi dhidi ya Kristo.
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)
Kwa eyo mana itei chakulya chasababisha kumkwaza muinja au nlombo, nalowa lyaa kwaa nyama kamwe, ili kana nimsababishie muinja au nlombo bangu tomboka. (aiōn g165)
