1 Corinthians 8
1 Now as concerning things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
Eeqas yarshshettiya kathabaa gidikko nu ubbay eroos. Eratethi otorssees, shin siiqoy dichchees.
2 And if any man thinketh that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
Oonikka bana erays gidi qoppiko, I buroo eranaw besseyssa eribeenna.
3 But if any man loveth God, the same is known by him.
Shin oonikka Xoossaa siiqikko I Xoossaa matan erettidayssa.
4 Therefore as concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
Hessa gisho, eeqas yarshshettida kathi muussabaa gidikko ha alamiyan Godi issi Xoossaafe attin hari baynna gisho, eeqi pathonnabaa gidonnayssa nuuni eroos.
5 For though there are that are called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, as there are gods many, and lords many, )
Xoosse gidonnashin, saloninne sa7an xoosse geetetti xeegettiya daro xoossatinne godati de7ikkoka,
6 Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
ubbabaa medhdhida, nu iyabaa gidida, issi Xoossay, Aaway, nuus de7ees. Ubbay iya baggara medhettida, nukka iya baggara de7o demmida issi Goday, Yesuus Kiristtoosi nuus de7ees.
7 But there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol to this hour eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
Shin hayssa erey ubbaa gidenna. Issi issi asay eeqa goynnora meezetida gisho, kathi miya wode eeqas yarshshettidabaa oothidi ekkoosona. He wode entta kahay daabura gidiya gisho tunees.
8 But food commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
Shin kathi nuna Xoossaara dabboyenna. Nu monna aggidi aykkoka qohettoko; qassi midi dumma go7ettoko.
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours should become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
Shin hintte koyidabaa maanaw la77atethi hinttew de7ikkoka hessi ammanon minnonnayssata dhubbonna mela naagettite.
10 For if any man shall see thee who hast knowledge sit eating in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
Neeni nena eranchcho gada eeqas yarshshettida kathi maanaw eeqa keethan uttidashin, ammanon minnonayssi nena be7ikko hessi iya eeqas yarshshettida kathi maana mela denthetheneyye?
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
Hiza, ne eratethaa gaason Kiristtoosi iya gisho hayqqida, ammanon minnonna ne ishay, dhays.
12 But when ye thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
Hessada oothidi, ammanon minnonna hintte ishata qohishenne entta kaha madunxisishe Kiristtoosa qoheeta.
