1 Corinthians 8
1 Now, concerning the idol-sacrifices, we are aware—because we, all, have knowledge, —knowledge, puffeth up, but, love, buildeth up;
Nambeambe kuhusu vyakulya yaiboyilwe sadaka kwa sanamu: tutangite panga, “Twenga twabote twabile ni maarifa.” Maarifa uleta maipuno, bali upendo uchanga.
2 If anyone thinketh that he knoweth anything, not yet knoweth he, as he must needs come to know,
Mana itei yeyote ywawaza panga atangite likowe fulani, mundu yoo bado atangite kwaa impalika yowa.
3 But, if anyone loveth God, the same, is known of him—
Lakini mana itei yumo winu ampendike Nnongo, mundu yoo atangike ni ywenge.
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.
Bai kuhusu lya chakulya yaiboyelwa sadaka kwa sanamu: tutangite kuwa “sanamu ni ilebe kwaa mu'dunia yee,” ni ya kuwa ntopo Nnongo ila yumo kae.”
5 For, if indeed there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, —as indeed there are gods many and lords many,
Kwa mana kwabile baingi bakemelwa nnongo mana itei ni kumaunde au mu'dunia, mana ya babile “nnongo ni mangwana banyansima.”
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.
Mana itei kwetu kwabile ni Nnongo yumo kae ywabile nga Tate, na Ngwana yumo Yesu Kristo, ywabile ambaye pitya ywembe ilebe yoti ibile, na pitya ywembe twenga tubile.”
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.
Hata nyoo, ujuzi woo ubile kwaa nkati ya kila yumo. Badala yake, benge batishiriki ibada ya sanamu hapo zamani, ni hata nambeambe balya vyakula kati panga ni ilebe chapangilwa sadaka kwa sanamu. Dhamiri yabe itipotoshwa kwa mana yabile dhaifu.
8 Food, indeed, will not commend us unto God, —neither, if we eat not, do we lack, nor, if we eat, do we abound.
Lakini chakulya chatuthibitisha kwaa twenga kwa Nnongo. twenga twa'abaya muno kati twaliya kwaa, wala wema muno mana itei twalyaa.
9 But be taking heed, lest, by any means, your right, itself, become, an occasion of stumbling, unto the weak;
Lakini mube makini panga uhuru winu kwana ube sababu ya kumkwaza ywabile dhaifu katika imani.
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?
Ebu waza panga mundu akubweni, wenga waubile ni ujuzi, walya chakulya mu'lihekalu lya sanamu. damiri yake mundu ywoo ithibitika kwaa hata ywembe ni ywembe alya ilebe yaitolewa sadaka kwa sanamu?
11 In fact, he that is weak, is being destroyed, by thy knowledge—the brother for whose sake Christ died.
Kwa eyo kwa sababu ya ufahamu wako wa ukweli nnani ya asili ya sanamu, muinja ni nnombo wako ywabile dhaifu, ywabile pia Kristo awile kwa ajili yake, alowa angamizwa.
12 But, in thus sinning against the brethren am wounding their conscience, seeing it is weak, against Christ, are ye sinning.
Hivyo, paupangite sambi dhidi ya muinja ni nlobo bako ni kuzijeruhi dhamiri yaibile dhaifu, mpangite sambi dhidi ya Kristo.
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)
Kwa eyo mana itei chakulya chasababisha kumkwaza muinja au nlombo, nalowa lyaa kwaa nyama kamwe, ili kana nimsababishie muinja au nlombo bangu tomboka. (aiōn g165)
