1 Korint 8
1 Alò, konsènan bagay ki te bay kon sakrifis a zidòl yo, nou konnen ke nou tout gen konesans. Konesans fè moun awogan, men lanmou bay bon konprann.
Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up; but charity edifieth.
2 Si yon moun sipoze ke li konnen yon bagay, li poko konnen jan li dwe konnen an.
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know.
3 Men si yon moun renmen Bondye, Bondye konnen li.
But if any any love God, the same is known by him.
4 Konsa, konsènan manje bagay ki te ofri kon sakrifis a zidòl yo, nou konnen ke pa gen anyen vrèman kon zidòl nan mond lan, e ke pa gen okenn Dye sof ke yon sèl, Bondye.
But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5 Paske, menmsi genyen sa ke yo rele dye yo, swa nan syèl la oubyen sou tè a, kòm anverite gen anpil dye ak anpil senyè,
For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many, and lords many).
6 malgre sa, nou pa gen sof ke yon Bondye Papa a. De Li menm tout bagay sòti, e nou pou Li, e yon Senyè, Jésus Kris. Pa Li menm tout bagay ye, e nou egziste pa Li.
Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 Sepandan, se pa tout moun ki gen konesans sa a. Men kèk moun, ki abitye avèk zidòl jiska prezan, manje manje kòmsi li te sakrifye a yon zidòl, e konsyans fèb pa yo a vin souye.
But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol: eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8 Men se pamanje k ap rekòmande nou a Bondye. Nou p ap ni pi mal si nou pa manje, ni pi bon si nou manje.
But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more; nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less.
9 Men fè atansyon ke libète sa a pa vini, nan yon jan o yon lòt, yon wòch pou fè sila ki fèb yo chite.
But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the weak.
10 Paske si yon moun wè ou menm, ki gen konesans, k ap manje nan yon tanp zidòl, si konsyans li fèb, l ap ankouraje manje bagay ki sakrifye a zidòl yo?
For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols?
11 Alò, akoz konesans pa ou, sila ki fèb vin pèdi, frè pou sila Kris la te mouri an.
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died?
12 Konsa, nan peche kont frè nou yo k ap blese konsyans a sila ki fèb yo, nou peche kont Kris la.
Now when you sin thus against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
