1 Corinthians 8
1 But of these thingis that ben sacrified to ydols, we witen, for alle we han kunnyng. But kunnyng blowith, charite edefieth.
Asɛm a ɛfa nnuane a wɔde ma ahoni ho nso nie: Ɛyɛ nokorɛ pefee sɛ, “Yɛn nyinaa wɔ nimdeɛ.” Nanso, saa nimdeɛ no ma onipa yɛ ahantan; ɔdɔ deɛ, ɛma nkɔsoɔ.
2 But if ony man gessith, that he kan ony thing, he hath not yit knowe hou it bihoueth hym to kunne.
Onipa a ɔgye ne ho di sɛ ɔnim biribi no nnim sɛdeɛ anka ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhunu.
3 And if ony man loueth God, this is knowun of hym.
Nanso, onipa a ɔdɔ Onyankopɔn no, Onyankopɔn nim no.
4 But of metis that ben offrid to idols, we witen, that an idol is no thing in the world, and that ther is no God but oon.
Enti, nnuane a wɔde ma ahoni a wɔdi no, yɛnim sɛ ohoni wɔ hɔ ma biribi a ɛnte ase. Yɛnim sɛ Onyankopɔn baako pɛ na ɔwɔ hɔ.
5 For thouy ther ben summe that ben seid goddis, ethir in heuene, ether in erthe, as ther ben many goddis, and many lordis;
Nneɛma bebree wɔ soro ne asase so a yɛfrɛ wɔn anyame ne awuranom, nanso wɔn mu biara nyɛ anyame anaasɛ awuranom.
6 netheles to vs is o God, the fadir, of whom ben alle thingis, and we in hym; and o Lord Jhesu Crist, bi whom ben alle thingis, and we bi hym.
Yɛwɔ Onyame baako pɛ a ɔyɛ Agya. Ɔno na ɔbɔɔ adeɛ nyinaa, na yɛte ase ma no. Yesu Kristo ne yɛn Awurade a Agya no nam ne so yɛɛ adeɛ nyinaa, na ɔmaa yɛn nkwa.
7 But not in alle men is kunnyng. For summen with conscience of ydol til now eten as thing offrid to idolis; and her conscience is defoulid, for it is sijk.
Nanso, ɛnyɛ obiara na ɔnim saa nokwasɛm yi. Nnipa bi de wɔn ho ama ahoni no ara kɔsi sɛ, sɛ wɔdi saa nnuane no a, wɔnim pefee sɛ ohoni aduane na wɔredi. Esiane wɔn ahonim a ɛyɛ mmerɛ enti, wɔgye di nso sɛ aduane no gu wɔn ho fi.
8 Mete comendith vs not to God; for nether we schulen faile, if we eten not, nether if we eten, we schulen haue plente.
Ɛnyɛ aduane a yɛdie no na ɛtwe yɛn bɛn Onyankopɔn. Sɛ yɛanni saa aduane no a, yɛntɔ sin, ɛnna sɛ yɛdi nso a, yɛn mmoro so.
9 But se ye, lest perauenture this your leeue be maad hurtyng to sijke men.
Monhwɛ yie na moamma mo ahofadie no antwetwe wɔn a wɔyɛ mmerɛ wɔ gyidie mu no ankɔ bɔne mu.
10 For if ony man schal se hym, that hath kunnyng, etynge in a place where idols ben worschipid, whethir his conscience, sithen it is sijke, schal not be edified to ete thingis offrid to idols?
Sɛ ɛba sɛ obi a nʼahonim yɛ mmerɛ wɔ saa asɛm yi mu hunu sɛ wo a wowɔ “nimdeɛ” redidi wɔ ohoni dan mu a, ɛrenhyɛ no nkuran mma ɔno nso nkɔdi aduane a wɔde ama ahoni no bi anaa?
11 And the sijk brothir, for whom Crist diede, schal perische in thi kunnyng.
Enti, saa onipa a ɔyɛ mmerɛ yi a ɔyɛ wo nua a Kristo wu maa no yi, ɛsiane wo “nimdeɛ” enti ɔbɛyera!
12 For thus ye synnyng ayens britheren, and smytynge her sijk conscience synnen ayens Crist.
Na ɛnam saa ɛkwan yi so bɛma woayɛ bɔne atia wo nuanom. Sɛ ɛba saa a, woyɛ bɔne tia Kristo nso, ɛfiri sɛ wonam wɔn adwenem mmerɛ so adaadaa wɔn.
