1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Aa ty amo raha banabanaeñe amo hazomangaoo: ataon-tika te songa aman-kilala tika; mampiebotsebotse ty hilala, fe mampiraorao ty koko.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
Naho eo ty mieva t’ie mahafohin-draha, le mboe tsy ama’e ty hilala do’e.
3 But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
Fe arofoanan’ Añahare o mikoko azeo.
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.
Aa ty amo fikamañe raha nisoroñañe an-kazomangao, fohin-tika te tsitantane atoy ty samposampo, naho te Raike tsi-roe-tsi-telo t’i Andrianañahare.
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;"
Aa ndra te ao ze o ndrañahareo, ke andindìñe añe, he an-tane atoy (toe maro o ‘ndrañahareo mbore tsifotofoto o talèo),
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.
fe aman-tika, raike t’i Andrianañahare, i Rae niboaha’ ze he’e naho iveloman-tikañey; Raike ka i Talè Iesoà Norizañey—ie ty nanoeñe ze kila raha, naho itika añama’ey.
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.
Fe mboe tsy ama’ ze hene ondaty i hilala zay. Ty ila’e, ie zatse i hazomangay am-para’ henane, ro mikama hoe te binanabana an-kazomanga, vaho mahativa i arofo’ey i haleme’ey.
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.
Toe tsy fañarineañe aman’ Añahare ty mahakama; le tsy mahafotsake t’ie tsy mikama, vaho tsy onjoñe’e te tsy mikama.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
Fe mitaòa, kera ho vato mahatsikapy o maifoifoo ty fidadàn’ arofo’ areo.
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?
Amy t’ie mahaisak’ azo t’indaty, te ihe mahilala ro mikama an-toe’ i hazomangay, le va’e mahaosike i tsy maozatse añ’arofoy ty hikama i haneñe binanabana amo raham-pahasiveoy.
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Christ died.
Aa akore te hianto ty amy hilala’oy i longo’o maifoifo nivilasia’ i Norizañeiy.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Aa ie mandilatse aman-drolongo ro mahafere i arofo’e malemey, le aman-tahiñe amy Norizañey.
