1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning the things offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth;
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 if any one think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet, as he ought to know;
Amiisak o ih ngah ejat esiit ngeh ih samthunha heh ih tiim uh tajatka.
3 but if any one love God, the same is known by Him.
Enoothong o mina ih Rangte ah minchan eha erah mina ah Rangte ih ejat ha.
4 Concerning the eating of the things offered in sacrifice to idols, then, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other 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 those that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;
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 but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we 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 But there is not in all men this knowledge; for some, with a conscience directed toward the idol even now, eat of it as a thing offered in sacrifice 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 recommend us to God; if we do not eat, we are not the worse; nor if we do 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 take heed, lest 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 any one see thee, who hast knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat the things offered 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 For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, —the brother for whom Christ died!
Erah raangtaan ih an phono, o raang ih Kristo tiita ah, an “mongtham” thoidoh matti ah!
12 But when ye so sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
Erah likhiikkhiik Kristaan wahoh thung atak ah joongthuk uno Kristo ngathong nah uh emah ih dah uh.
13 Wherefore, if food cause my brother to fall, I will eat no flesh for ever, lest I cause my brother to fall. Am I not free? (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)
