1 Corinthians 8

1 Now, concerning the idol-sacrifices, we are aware—because we, all, have knowledge, —knowledge, puffeth up, but, love, buildeth up;

Juktuh üng pet eia mawng ngthähnak nami yuk lawki. Mi van naw ksingnak mi taki. Acunsepi ksingkhyapnak naw jah awhcahsak lü, mhläkphyanak naw khyang jah sawngsaki.

2 If anyone thinketh that he knoweth anything, not yet knoweth he, as he must needs come to know,

U pi i mä ksingkia ngaiki naw ami ksing vaia kba am ksing u.

3 But, if anyone loveth God, the same, is known of him—

Acunsepi, Pamhnam mhläkphyanaki cun Pamhnam naw ksingki.

4 Concerning, then, the eating of idol-sacrifices, we are aware—that an idol is, nothing, in the world, and that, none, is God save one.

Acunakyase, juktuha veia pet eiawka mawng cun: khawmdeka am ve xakia lupa phäh juktuh mcawmkie lüpi Pamhnam mat däk veki tia mi ksingki.

5 For, if indeed there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, —as indeed there are gods many and lords many,

Khankhawa pi kyase, mcea pi kyase, mhnam ngmingnakie mhnam khawhah bawi khawhah veki,

6 [Yet], to us, there is one God the Father, of whom are all things, and, we, for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and, we, through him.

mimia phäha ta Pamhnam mat däk, Pa mat veki, ani cun naw avan tüipyang lü ania phäha mi xüngki, Bawipa mat däk veki ani naw Jesuh Khritaw üngkhyüh anaküt mhnünmceng lü mimi pi mi xüngki.

7 Howbeit, not in all, is the knowledge; but, some, by their familiarity, until even now, with the idol, as an idol-sacrifice, eat it, and, their conscience, being, weak, is defiled.

Acunsepi khyang avan naw hina ngthungtak am ksing u. Khyang avang naw juktuh xüngkia ngaikie. Acunakyase juktuha veia peta ei ami ei üng tuh vei cäpa juktuha eiawka ngaikie; ami ksingnak ngcekia kyase acun ami ei naw jah mtüihkhehsakia ngaihkie.

8 Food, indeed, will not commend us unto God, —neither, if we eat not, do we lack, nor, if we eat, do we abound.

Ei naw Pamhnama dä mi keha dawsakia am kya; am mi eia phäha i pi am mi sum na, mi eia phäh i pi am ni yahei na.

9 But be taking heed, lest, by any means, your right, itself, become, an occasion of stumbling, unto the weak;

Acunsepi, mcei ua, nami lätnak hin naw jumeinak ktha ngcekie käh jah kyukngtängsak se.

10 For, if anyone should see [thee] who hast knowledge, in an idol-temple, reclining, will not, his conscience, being, weak, be built up for the eating of the idol-sacrifices?

Na ksingkia kyase, juktuh a venak templea na ei vai naw am ning ähei. Acunsepi akse ja akdaw a ksingnak am kyanki naw a ning hmu üng juktuha veia peta ei cun ei hnga khaia kyaki.

11 In fact, he that is weak, is being destroyed, by thy knowledge—the brother for whose sake Christ died.

Acunakyase a hama Khritaw thikia na bena cun na ksingnaka phäha khyük khaia kyaki.

12 But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning.

Benaea veia acuna mäiha mkhyekatnak pawh u lü, akse ja akdaw ami ksingnak ngcek se, nami mhlem üngta, Khritawa khana pi mkhyekatnak nami pawhki ni.

13 Therefore, if food is an occasion of stumbling unto my brother, in nowise will I eat flesh unto the age that abideth, —that, I may not occasion, my brother, to stumble. (aiōn g165)

Acunakyase, ka ei naw jumeiki kyukngtängsakia akyak üng, jumeiki am ka kyukngtängsak vaia ka xüna küt üng meh ka jeih khai. (aiōn g165)
