1 Corinthians 8
1 Now, concerning the idol-sacrifices, we are aware—because we, all, have knowledge, —knowledge, puffeth up, but, love, buildeth up;
Bet par elkadievu upuriem zinām, ka mums visiem ir atzīšana. Atzīšana uzpūš, bet mīlestība uztaisa.
2 If anyone thinketh that he knoweth anything, not yet knoweth he, as he must needs come to know,
Bet ja kam šķiet, ka ko zinot, tas vēl nezin nenieka tā, kā piederās zināt.
3 But, if anyone loveth God, the same, is known of him—
Bet ja kas Dievu mīl, tas no Viņa ir atzīts.
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.
Tad nu par elku upuru ēšanu zinām, ka neviena elka nav pasaulē un ka cita Dieva nav kā vien Tas Vienīgais,
5 For, if indeed there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, —as indeed there are gods many and lords many,
Un jebšu ir tā saucami dievi, tā debesīs, kā virs zemes - tā kā ir daudz dievu un daudz kungu;
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.
Tomēr mums ir viens Dievs, Tas Tēvs, no kā visas lietas, un mēs uz Viņu, un viens Kungs Jēzus Kristus, caur ko visas lietas, un mēs caur Viņu.
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.
Tomēr tā atzīšana nav iekš visiem; bet kādi, kas līdz šim apzinās, elkus esam, ēd tā kā no elku upuriem, un viņu zināma sirds, vāja būdama, top apgānīta.
8 Food, indeed, will not commend us unto God, —neither, if we eat not, do we lack, nor, if we eat, do we abound.
Bet barība nedara mūs Dievam pieņēmīgus; jo ēzdami mēs neesam labāki, un neēzdami mēs neesam sliktāki.
9 But be taking heed, lest, by any means, your right, itself, become, an occasion of stumbling, unto the weak;
Bet pielūkojiet, ka šī jūsu vaļa vājiem nekļūst par piedauzīšanu.
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?
Jo, ja kas redzētu tevi, kam tā atzīšana, elka namā pie galda sēžam, vai tā vājā brāļa zināma sirds netaps skubināta, elku upurus ēst?
11 In fact, he that is weak, is being destroyed, by thy knowledge—the brother for whose sake Christ died.
Un caur tavu atzīšanu pazudīs tavs vājais brālis, kā labad Kristus ir miris.
12 But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning.
Bet pret brāļiem tā grēkodami un viņu vājo zināmu sirdi ievainodami, jūs grēkojat pret Kristu.
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)
Tādēļ, ja manam brālim barība par piedauzīšanu, tad es nemūžam gaļu neēdīšu, lai savu brāli neapgrēcināju. (aiōn g165)
