< 1 Corinthians 8 >
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
དེཝཔྲསཱདེ སཪྻྭེཥཱམ྄ ཨསྨཱཀཾ ཛྙཱནམཱསྟེ ཏདྭཡཾ ཝིདྨཿ། ཏཐཱཔི ཛྙཱནཾ གཪྻྭཾ ཛནཡཏི ཀིནྟུ པྲེམཏོ ནིཥྛཱ ཛཱཡཏེ།
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
ཨཏཿ ཀཤྩན ཡདི མནྱཏེ མམ ཛྙཱནམཱསྟ ཨིཏི ཏརྷི ཏེན ཡཱདྲྀཤཾ ཛྙཱནཾ ཙེཥྚིཏཝྱཾ ཏཱདྲྀཤཾ ཀིམཔི ཛྙཱནམདྱཱཔི ན ལབྡྷཾ།
3 But anyone who loves God is known by him.
ཀིནྟུ ཡ ཨཱིཤྭརེ པྲཱིཡཏེ ས ཨཱིཤྭརེཎཱཔི ཛྙཱཡཏེ།
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
དེཝཏཱབལིཔྲསཱདབྷཀྵཎེ ཝཡམིདཾ ཝིདྨོ ཡཏ྄ ཛགནྨདྷྱེ ཀོ྅པི དེཝོ ན ཝིདྱཏེ, ཨེཀཤྩེཤྭརོ དྭིཏཱིཡོ ནཱསྟཱིཏི།
5 For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—
སྭརྒེ པྲྀཐིཝྱཱཾ ཝཱ ཡདྱཔི ཀེཥུཙིད྄ ཨཱིཤྭར ཨིཏི ནཱམཱརོཔྱཏེ ཏཱདྲྀཤཱཤྩ བཧཝ ཨཱིཤྭརཱ བཧཝཤྩ པྲབྷཝོ ཝིདྱནྟེ
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 live through him.
ཏཐཱཔྱསྨཱཀམདྭིཏཱིཡ ཨཱིཤྭརཿ ས པིཏཱ ཡསྨཱཏ྄ སཪྻྭེཥཱཾ ཡདརྠཉྩཱསྨཱཀཾ སྲྀཥྚི རྫཱཏཱ, ཨསྨཱཀཉྩཱདྭིཏཱིཡཿ པྲབྷུཿ ས ཡཱིཤུཿ ཁྲཱིཥྚོ ཡེན སཪྻྭཝསྟཱུནཱཾ ཡེནཱསྨཱཀམཔི སྲྀཥྚིཿ ཀྲྀཏཱ།
7 However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
ཨདྷིཀནྟུ ཛྙཱནཾ སཪྻྭེཥཱཾ ནཱསྟི ཡཏཿ ཀེཙིདདྱཱཔི དེཝཏཱཾ སམྨནྱ དེཝཔྲསཱདམིཝ ཏད྄ བྷཀྵྱཾ བྷུཉྫཏེ ཏེན དུརྦྦལཏཡཱ ཏེཥཱཾ སྭཱནྟཱནི མལཱིམསཱནི བྷཝནྟི།
8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.
ཀིནྟུ བྷཀྵྱདྲཝྱཱད྄ ཝཡམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརེཎ གྲཱཧྱཱ བྷཝཱམསྟནྣཧི ཡཏོ བྷུངྐྟྭཱ ཝཡམུཏྐྲྀཥྚཱ ན བྷཝཱམསྟདྭདབྷུངྐྟྭཱཔྱཔཀྲྀཥྚཱ ན བྷཝཱམཿ།
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
ཨཏོ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཡཱ ཀྵམཏཱ སཱ དུརྦྦལཱནཱམ྄ ཨུནྨཱཐསྭརཱུཔཱ ཡནྣ བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏདརྠཾ སཱཝདྷཱནཱ བྷཝཏ།
10 For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
ཡཏོ ཛྙཱནཝིཤིཥྚསྟྭཾ ཡདི དེཝཱལཡེ ཨུཔཝིཥྚཿ ཀེནཱཔི དྲྀཤྱསེ ཏརྷི ཏསྱ དུརྦྦལསྱ མནསི ཀིཾ པྲསཱདབྷཀྵཎ ཨུཏྶཱཧོ ན ཛནིཥྱཏེ?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
ཏཐཱ སཏི ཡསྱ ཀྲྀཏེ ཁྲཱིཥྚོ མམཱར ཏཝ ས དུརྦྦལོ བྷྲཱཏཱ ཏཝ ཛྙཱནཱཏ྄ ཀིཾ ན ཝིནཾཀྵྱཏི?
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
ཨིཏྱནེན པྲཀཱརེཎ བྷྲཱཏྲྀཎཱཾ ཝིརུདྡྷམ྄ ཨཔརཱདྷྱདྦྷིསྟེཥཱཾ དུརྦྦལཱནི མནཱཾསི ཝྱཱགྷཱཏཡདྦྷིཤྩ ཡུཥྨཱབྷིཿ ཁྲཱིཥྚསྱ ཝཻཔརཱིཏྱེནཱཔརཱདྷྱཏེ།
13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble. (aiōn )
ཨཏོ ཧེཏོཿ པིཤིཏཱཤནཾ ཡདི མམ བྷྲཱཏུ ཪྻིགྷྣསྭརཱུཔཾ བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏརྷྱཧཾ ཡཏ྄ སྭབྷྲཱཏུ ཪྻིགྷྣཛནཀོ ན བྷཝེཡཾ ཏདརྠཾ ཡཱཝཛྫཱིཝནཾ པིཤིཏཾ ན བྷོཀྵྱེ། (aiōn )
