1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Kwa nneyo, ga yalya ishoshiywe mbepei ku yanamu, tumumanyi kuti uwe tubhowe tushikola lumanyio, ikabheje lumanyio lunatenda bhandu bhaipunanje, ikabhe kupingana kunakwaataganga bhandu ntima.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
Aganishiya kuti anakushimanya shindu, kwa kweli akakushimanya shoshowe malinga shaapinjikwa kumanya.
3 But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
Ikabheje mundu akwaapinga a Nnungu, a Nnungu bhammanyi jwene mundujo.
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.
Kwa nneyo ga yalya ishoshiywe mbepei ku yanamu, tumumanyi kuti shanamu nngabha a Nnungu bha kweli, ikabheje a Nnungu bha kweli ni bhamope.
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;"
Nkali monaga ipali ishemwa ashinnungu, pa shilambolyo eu kunnungu, na malinga shibhalinginji ashinnungu na bhakulungwanji bhabhagwinji,
6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
ikabheje kwetu uwe, bhapali a Nnungu bhamope, Atati, bhapengenye indu yowe na kwa mashili ga bhenebho uwe tunalama. Tunakulupalila kuti bhapali Bhakulungwa bhamope a Yeshu Kilishitu pitila bhenebho a nnungu gubhapengenye indu yowe, ni bhakutupa gumi.
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.
Ikabheje nngabha kila mundu anakwimanya yenei. Pabha bhapalinji bhananji bhayobhelelenje yanamu, mpaka nnaino pubhalyanganga yene yalyayo pubhaganishiyanga kuti ishishoywa mbepei ku yanamu. Pabha bhangashimilikanga mmitima jabhonji, pubhakwibhonanga bhanalebhanga.
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.
Ikabheje shalya shikakutubhika tome na a Nnungu. Tukalye shakwa shitutubhila, na tulyaga shakwa shitujenjeshewa.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
Ikabheje mwiteiganje, aki jenunji jinaatendanje bhangashimilikanga nngulupai bhatendanje yambi.
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?
Pabha, mundu akanabhe shimilika nngulupai, ammonaga mmwe nkwete lumanyio nnilya yene yalyayo nniekalu lya yanamu, bhuli, akatagwa ntima gwa lya indu ishoshiywe mbepei ku yanamu?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Christ died.
Kwa nneyo, nnongo nnjenu jwangashimilika nngulupaijo jubhanng'wilile a Kilishitu, shaaobhe kwa ligongo lya lumanyio lwenu.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Mwaalebhelangaga ashaalongo ajenunji nikwaulayanga mmitima jabhonji, penepo nnakwaalebhelanga a Kilishitu.
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 nneyo, ibhaga shalya shinabha shiumilo sha kuntenda nnongo nnjangu atende shambi, bhai ngalya nnyama kabhili, nkupinga ngunannebhiye nnongo nnjangu. (aiōn g165)
