1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Amadi, tongmih soomtuuha rom arang phaksat tiit cheng hali ah jat ehang. Amiisak elang eh ah, neng ih mok thunha likhiik, “seng taang ni mongtham eje ngeh ah. Enoothong, erah likhiik mongtham ebah, mina ba khuupook thukla; enoothong mongnook ebah warep damdi minchanmui eh thuk hali.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
Amiisak o ih ngah ejat esiit ngeh ih samthunha heh ih tiim uh tajatka.
3 But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
Enoothong o mina ih Rangte ah minchan eha erah mina ah Rangte ih ejat ha.
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.
Erah raangtaan ih, tongmih soomtu phaksat ah langla: Seng ih jat ih hi tongmih ah tiimju tah angka, seng ih Rangte esiit luulu ah ba jat hi.
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;"
Rang ni angkoja adoleh hah ni angkoja, “rangte loong” ah ephoop je ah, erabah uh “rangte loong” nyia “teesu loong”
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.
taat puupa abah uh seng raang ih Rangte bah esiit luulu baaje ah, heh langla seng loong Wah, oh jirep ah Dongsiitte nyia o raang ih seng ething tongli warah ah; erah damdi Teesu uh esiit luulu je ah, erah langla Jisu Kristo, marah mendi jirep dongsiitta nyia o raang ih seng loong thingtongli warah ah.
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.
Enoothong arah tiitmi ah warep ih tajatka. Mararah mina ah tongmih soomtu asuh erah than ih jangseela, amadi tuk ih tongmih soomtu phaksat ah phaksah leh, neng thungtho thoidi tongmih raangtaan ih heh angkah ngeh ih mokthun rumha; eno neng teeteewah suh phaksat ih thet haat hali ngeh ih thun rumha.
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.
Enoothong, phaksat ih, Rangte reenah tabaam thoksiit ri; laphaksake bah uh seng tiim mat haatjih tah angka, adoleh phaksah ih bah uh tiim dakchojih tah angka.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
Erah raangtaan ih, sen loong ah naririh ih reeraang theng, senphak sensat thoidoh o mina laalom ni tarong lah angka loong ah rangdah nah ladat thuktheng.
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?
Jengthaak asuh ngah ih ba “jat hang” liite ih rom arang phaksat tongmih soomnok ni phaksah arah; Rangte suh dangdang lajen laalomte ih japtup abah, heh uh rom arang phaksat ah tatam phaksaka?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Christ died.
Erah raangtaan ih an phono, o raang ih Kristo tiita ah, an “mongtham” thoidoh matti ah!
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Erah likhiikkhiik Kristaan wahoh thung atak ah joongthuk uno Kristo ngathong nah uh emah ih dah uh.
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)
Erah raangtaan ih phak asat thoidoh hanpiite dathuk abah, ngah ih mabah uh si takah phakkang, erah langla hanpiite loong rangdah nah lakah datthuk suh ah. (aiōn g165)
