1 Qoronttosa 8
1 Eeqas shuketida asho gishshi inte taas xaafidayssa mala gidiko tumuka nu wurka eriza miishi dees. Eroy otorses; siiqoy qass go7es.
Now, concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 Ta erays giza asi eranas besiza mala buro eribeyna.
However, if any one is confident of knowing anything, he has known nothing, yet, as he ought to know.
3 Xoossu siqiza uray gidiko izi Xoossa achan erettida de.
But, if any one love God, the same is acknowledged by him.)
4 Hessa gishshi eeqas yarishettida asho muussa gishshi ta intes gizay hayssa alamezan eeqay hada gididayssane issi Xoossafe attin hara Xoossi bayindayssa nu erosu.
Concerning, then, the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world; and that there is no other God but one.
5 Aydeka gidiko daro eeqatine daro godati deetes shin salon gidin biitta bolla xoossu geetettiza daro eeqati diikoka nuusu gidiko haniday wurikka izan hanides. Nuka izas gidida issi Xoossi Aaway dees. Qassekka hanidazi wurikka izan haniday nuka izan hanida issi Goday Yesus Kiristoosay xalala nuus dees.
For though, indeed, there are nominal gods, whether in heaven or on earth; (as, indeed, there are many gods, and many lords; )
yet, to us, there is but one God, the Father; of whom all things are, and we for him: and one Lord Jesus Christ; by whom all things are, and we by him.
7 Gido attin hessa asi wuri erena. Issi issi asati hano gakanas eeqqa goyno dosida gishshi hessa mala asho miishe addaka Eeqas shuketidayssa qopetes. Isttas qofay laafa gidida gishshi istti tunetes.
However, this knowledge is not in all: for some, till this hour, in the conscience of the idol, eat it, as a thing sacrificed to the idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8 Gido attin Kathi nuna Xoossa achi gathena. Nu montta agikoka nuus paccizay deena. Nu mikokka nuusu wodhey deena.
But meat does not recommend us to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse.
9 Gido attin inte metoy bawa guusan oothizays ammanon minnontta asas dhuphe gidontta mala nagetite.
Nevertheless, take heed, lest, perhaps, this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
10 Ne hessa milatiza eratethi diza gishshi hinko ammanon minontta uray eeqa keeththan ne mizayssa beydi eeqas shuketidayssa manas xalenee?
For if any one see you, who have knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak, be encouraged to eat things sacrificed to idols?
11 Hessa gishshi Kiristoosay iza gishshi hayqida he ammanon minontta ishay ne eratetha gaason dhayes guskko.
and through this, your knowledge, shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 Hessaththoka inte inte ishata qohonine istta laafa qofa madunithon Kiristoosa qohista.
And, by thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience, you sin against Christ.
