1 Corinthians 8
1 And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffeth up, but love buildeth up;
Vinu kwa visoweru vya viboga vyavitambikilitwi vinyagu. Tuvimana kuwera twawoseri twenga twana malifa, kumbiti malifa aga gawatenda wantu walitumbiri, kumbiti mafiliru ganyawa.
2 and if any one doth think to know anything, he hath not yet known anything according as it behoveth [him] to know;
Walii yawalihola kuwera wamana kila shintu, nakaka wavimana ndiri shintu shoseri ntambu yashifiruwa kuvimana.
3 and if any one doth love God, this one hath been known by Him.
Kumbiti muntu yakamfira Mlungu, yomberi kamanikana na Mlungu.
4 Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;
Su visoweru vya kuliya viboga vyavitambikilitwi vinyagu, tuvimana kuwera vinyagu shintu ndiri pasipanu, twenga tuvimana kuwera Mlungu kayumu hera.
5 for even if there are those called gods, whether in heaven, whether upon earth — as there are gods many and lords many —
Ata paviwera vintu vyavishemwa milungu pasipanu ama kumpindi kwa Mlungu, ata pawawera “milungu” Wavuwa na “watuwa” Wavuwa,
6 yet to us [is] one God, the Father, of whom [are] the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom [are] the all things, and we through Him;
kumbiti twenga twana Mlungu yumu hera, Tati yakaumbiti vyoseri na kupitila mweni twenga tulikala. Vilaa kwana Mtuwa yumu hera, Yesu Kristu na kupitila mweni vintu vyoseri viumbwa na kupitira mweni twenga tulikala.
7 but not in all men [is] the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat [it], and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
Kumbiti kila muntu ndiri kagamana goseri aga, kwana wantu wamu wawera na vitiba vya kutambikira vinyagu, wantu weni mpaka vinu pawaliya viboga avi walihola kuwera vitambikirwa vinyagu. Toziya mmoyu yawu iwera legilegi, su walihola weni kuwera watenda vidoda kwa kuliya viboga avi.
8 But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;
Shiboga hapeni shiwezi kutujega tuweri pakwegera na Mlungu, patuleka kuliya hapeni tupungukiwi na shintu shoseri na patuliya hapeni twongereki na shintu shoseri.
9 but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm,
Kumbiti muliloli weri, ulekeziya wenu naguwatenda walii yawawera na moyu legilegi watendi vidoda.
10 for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat — shall not his conscience — he being infirm — be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,
Handa muntu yakawera na moyu legilegi, pakakuwona gwenga yaguvimana gwankuliya viboga avi mnumba mwa vinyagu, hashi, hapeni kaweri na moyu gwa kuliya viboga vyavitambikilitwi vinyagu?
11 and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?
Kwa njira ayi, muyenu ayu kana moyu legilegi, ndomweni Kristu kahowiti kwajili yakuwi, shirii gwenga shagushishema gushimani.
12 and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience — in regard to Christ ye sin;
Handa pamuwatendera vidoda walongu wamwenga ntambu ayi na kuyitenduwa myoyu yawu legilegi, su mwenga mwankumtendera vidoda Kristu.
13 wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh — to the age — that my brother I may not cause to stumble. (aiōn g165)
Hangu, handa shiboga shitenda kuguwa kwa mlongu gwangu katendi vidoda, hapeni ndiyi shinofu kayi, naniza kumtenda mlongu gwaneni katendi vidoda. (aiōn g165)
