1 Corinthians 8
1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Are kꞌu ri jastaq ri tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq tyox. Qonojel qetaꞌm jas ubꞌantajik we riꞌ. Ri etaꞌmabꞌal kuya nimal, are kꞌu ri loqꞌanik kubꞌan che jun chi kakꞌiyik.
2 If anyone thinks he knows something, that person does not yet know as he should know.
We kꞌu kꞌo jun ri kunaꞌo chi retaꞌm chik ronojel, kꞌamajaꞌ retaꞌm riꞌ ri rajawaxik karetaꞌmaj.
3 But if anyone loves God, that person is known by him.
Ri winaq ri kuloqꞌaj ri Dios etaꞌmatal uwach rumal ri Dios.
4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol in this world is nothing and that there is no God but one.
Are kꞌu we kujtzijon puꞌwiꞌ ri utijik jastaq ri tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq tyox, qetaꞌm chi ri bꞌanom tyox maj kuxik, xuqujeꞌ qetaꞌm chi xa jun ri Dios kꞌolik.
5 For maybe so-called gods do exist, either in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords.”
Pune ri e bꞌanom taq tyox kabꞌix dios chike cho ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ pa ri kaj (qas ne tzij wi e kꞌo e kꞌi dios xuqujeꞌ ajawxelabꞌ).
6 Yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we live, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things exist, and through whom we exist.
Qetaꞌm uj chi maj chi jun Dios kꞌolik, xaq xwi ri Tataxel puꞌwiꞌ ronojel ri jastaq xuqujeꞌ uj kꞌaslik chuyaꞌik uqꞌij, man kꞌo ta chik jun Ajawxel, xaq xwi Jesucristo, ri yoꞌwinaq ukꞌaslemal ronojel ri kꞌolik xuqujeꞌ xa rumal rech uj kꞌaslik.
7 However, this knowledge is not in everyone. Instead, some previously practiced idol worship, and they eat this food as if it were something sacrificed to an idol. Their conscience is thereby corrupted because it is weak.
Man konojel ta kꞌut kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ. E kꞌo jujun kꞌamaninaq chike kakiya kiqꞌij ri e bꞌanom taq tyox, kakitij ri jastaq ri ketaꞌm chi tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq tyox, jeriꞌ ri kichomabꞌal kachꞌulujirik rumal man kꞌo taj kichuqꞌabꞌ.
8 But food will not present us to God. We are not worse if we do not eat, nor better if we do eat it.
Man are ta ri kaqatijo kabꞌanow chaqe chi kujqaj cho ri Dios xuqujeꞌ man are ta ri jastaq ri kaqatijo kabꞌanow sibꞌalaj utz chaqe, man are ta xuqujeꞌ kabꞌanow itzel chaqe we man kaqatijo.
9 But take care that your freedom does not become a reason for someone who is weak in faith to stumble.
Pune jeriꞌ, chichajij iwibꞌ rech man kixux ta topibꞌal aqanaj chike nikꞌaj chik rumal ri jaljoj taq ichomanik.
10 For suppose that someone sees you, who have knowledge, eating a meal in an idol's temple. Is not his weak conscience emboldened to eat what is offered to idols?
Jeriꞌ rumal cher we at kꞌo nim awetaꞌmabꞌal cho jun chik katwaꞌ kꞌu pa ri templo rech jun bꞌanom tyox, katril kꞌu jun ri man kꞌo ta uchuqꞌabꞌ pa ri ukojobꞌal, ¿La man kꞌu katzurutaj urayinik riꞌ rech kutij ri jastaq ri tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom tyox?
11 So because of your understanding about the true nature of idols, the weaker one, the brother for whom Christ died, is destroyed.
Ri alaxik kꞌut ri man kꞌo ta uchuqꞌabꞌ pa ri ukojobꞌal, ri rumal rech xkam ri Cristo, kel riꞌ pa ri ukojobꞌal rumal ri awetaꞌmabꞌal at.
12 Thus, when you sin against your brothers and wound their weak consciences, you sin against Christ.
Are kitaqchiꞌj chi nikꞌaj chubꞌanik jun jastaq ri ketaꞌm aꞌreꞌ chi mak ubꞌanik, che ri Cristo tajin kixmakun wi.
