1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning food sacrificed to idols, we know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Vulevule ifyakhulya ifivahuminche isadaka ukhuva khikhwani: Tulumanyile ukhuta “Ufwe twivoni tulinuluhala.” Uluhala luleta ulwivono, hange ulugano lunchenga.
2 If anyone thinks he knows something, he has not yet come to know anything as he ought to know it.
Ingave umunu uvavenchage ita akhimanyile mkhinu ikyavenchage salumanyile umuyunogiwa ukhu lumanya.
3 But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.
Ulwa khuva yingave umunu umo aganile nukhuvagana nu khugana u Nguluve umunu uyu vamanyile na vope.
4 With regard then to eating food sacrificed to idols, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world,” and that “there is no other God but one.”
Lino khumbombo iyakhulya ifyakhula ifi va huminche isadakha ni ikhikhwani: twalumanyile khuta “Khikhwani syokhinu mukhilunga ikhi.” Ulwakhuva asikhuli uNguluve nu vyaliyumu.”
5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”),
Ulwa khuva avingi avilangiwe khuminguluve igyanekhelo khukhyanya na mukhilunga, ndavuvalivo “avanguluve avatwa vavingi.”
6 for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we exist through him.
“Ingave khulyufwe khwale uNguluve yumo uvita vidada, veto vyoni fihumile khumwene nufwe tutama khumwene, nutwa u Yesu uKlisite ulwa khuva ifinu fipeliwe nu mwene ukhuhuma khumwene pwale na yufwe putule.
7 However, not everyone possesses this knowledge. But some have idols in their conscience even now and eat such food as something sacrificed to idols, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
Lino uvumanyi uwa, wasikhuli mugati mwavimunu. Ulwakhuva avange vikhihanja ulwisayo ulwa fikhwani ukhuhuma khatale, lino vilya ivyakhulya ifyo ukhuta khinukhekhi ikhihuminche ifyavupe ni khikhwani. Amasago ga munu uyu giva sagidihine nave ukhuta alye amasago aga ujaji nje nu vujilamakha.
8 But food does not bring us close to God. For we are no better off if we eat, and no worse off if we do not eat.
Ulwakhuva ikhyakulyi sakhikhavonekhe ukhuta kya Nguluve. Ufwe twale vavivi lweli ukhuta tulekhe ukhulya, nu vunonu woni vutulile.
9 But be careful that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.
Muvenchage nu luhala ulwa khuva uvugatalufu wito vulekhe ukhuva vugatancho nu vupepe khulwidikho.
10 For if someone sees yoʋ, who have knowledge, reclining for a meal in the temple of an idol, will not his weak conscience be emboldened to eat food sacrificed to idols?
Iga usage ukhuta umunu uyu avonikhe, nuve viwale, nuve viwale nu vumanyi, wilya ikhya khuliya nu khuhekhela ikhikhwani. Amasago genyo umunu uyu sagikhiwidikhila vulevule nu mwene ukhulya ifinu ifihumile khunekhelo ne khikhwani.
11 Should the weak brother, for whose sake Christ died, perish because of yoʋr knowledge?
Ulwa khuva uvumanyile uwayilweli wakho ukhuhuma khuvutengulelo uwa khikhwani, udimi nu ng'inja vakho upepe, uva Klisite afwule ukhuyancha ikhilunga.
12 When you sin in this way against your brothers and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
Upuvuvomba imbivi nu ng'anchovo nu khulema ncha amasago gakho nu vupepe numbula u Klisite.
