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;
Lino vwimila vwa kyakulia fino fihumisivue litekolo kufihwani: tukagwile kuuti “Usue tweeni tulinuvumang'anyi.” Uvumang'anyi vuleta ulughinio, looli ulughano lujenga.
2 if any one think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet, as he ought to know;
Nave umuunhu ghweni isagha kuuti akagwile limongo, umuunhu ujua nambe nakagwile heene jilondua akagule.
3 but if any one love God, the same is known by Him.
Looli nave umuunhu amughanile u Nguluve, umuunhubujuo ikagulika nu mwene.
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.
Kange vwimila vwa fakulia fino fihumisivue fihumisivue litekelo ku fihweni: tukagwile kuuti “Ikihwani nakwekuuti kinu mu iisi iji,” ulwakuva nakwale u Nguluve ila jumo mwene.”
5 For though there are those that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;
Ulwakuva kwevale vinga vano vitambulua manguluve ndavuve vulanga, nambe iisi, ndavule ghalivuo “Amanguluve na vatua vinga.”
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.
“Palikimo nakuva kulyusue kwale u Nguluve jumo mwene juno ghwa Nhaata, ifinu fyoni fihumile kwa mwene, tatusue tukale kwa mwene, u Mutwa jumo u Yesu Kilisite, juno vwimila umwene ifinu fyoni kwefile, kwa mwene jujuo na jusue kwetule.”
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.
Nambe vulevule, uvukagusi uvuo namwevule n'kate mwa muunhu ghweni. pauluo, avange valyahasing'ine kukufunya ku fihwani pakali apuo, nambe lino vali ifakulia ifi hwene kuuti kinu kino kihumisivue kuva litekelo ku fihwani. Inyivonelo save sisoveleng'ine ulwakuva mbotembote.
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.
Looli ikyakulia nakyekino kilatuhufia usue kwa Nguluve. Usue natulivavivi kyoongo nave natulile ikyakulia, nave uvulugu kyoongo nave tulile.
9 But take heed, lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak.
Looli mulolelaghe ulwakuuti uvwavuke vwiinu vuleke kuva vwe vwambusio ulwa kun'kuvasia um'botebote mulwitiko.
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?
Leka usaghaghe kuuti umuunhu akuvwene, uve ghwejuno ulinuvukagusi, ghulia ikyakulia mu nyumba ija kufunyila ija fihwani. Inyivonelo sake umuunhu ujuo kwande sikunua pikagulika nambe jumwene jujuo valisaghe ifiinu fino vasanguile kuva litekelo kufihwani?
11 For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, —the brother for whom Christ died!
Pa uluo vwimila vwa vukagusi vwako uvwa lweli ulwa muvuhumo vwa fihwani, n'kulu nambe umwanilumbu juno m'botem'bote, juno kange n'kilisite alyafwile vwimila umwene, itipulua.
12 But when ye so sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
Pauluo, pano ghuvomba inyivi palikimo avakuulu nava lumbu vakomukusilemasia inyivonelo sivanave sino mbotembote, muvomba inyivi kwa Kilisite.
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)
Pauluo, nave ikyakulia kikwambusia pikunkuvasia un'kulu nambe umwanilumbu, nanilalia inyama kange, ulwakuuti nimwambusie unkulu nambe umwanilumbu kughua. (aiōn g165)
