1 Korintiyawa 8
1 To, game da abincin da aka miƙa hadaya ga gumaka kuwa. Mun san cewa dukanmu muna da ilimi. Ilimi yakan kawo girman kai, amma ƙauna takan gina.
Now as to things which have been sacrificed to idols. This is a subject which we already understand--because we all have knowledge of it. Knowledge, however, tends to make people conceited; it is love that builds us up.
2 Mutumin da yake tsammani ya san abu, sanin da yake da shi bai isa ba.
If any one imagines that he already possesses any true knowledge, he has as yet attained to no knowledge of the kind to which he ought to have attained;
3 Amma mutumin da yake ƙaunar Allah, Allah yana sane da shi.
but if any one loves God, that man is known by God.
4 To, game da cin abincin da aka miƙa hadaya ga gumaka kuwa, mun san cewa “Gunki ba kome ba ne a duniya”, kuma “Babu wani Allah sai dai ɗaya.”
As to eating things which have been sacrificed to idols, we are fully aware that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One.
5 Gama ko da akwai abubuwan da ake ce da su alloli, a sama ko a ƙasa (don kuwa akwai “alloli” da “iyayengiji” da yawa),
For if so-called gods do exist, either in Heaven or on earth--and in fact there are many such gods and many such lords--
6 duk da haka a gare mu dai akwai Allah ɗaya kaɗai, Uba, wanda dukan abubuwa suke daga gare shi, wanda kuma saboda shi ne muke rayuwa, kuma akwai Ubangiji ɗaya, Yesu Kiristi, wanda ta wurinsa ne aka yi dukan abu, ta wurinsa ne kuma muke rayuwa.
yet we have but one God, the Father, who is the source of all things and for whose service we exist, and but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom we and all things exist.
7 Amma ba kowa ne ya san wannan ba. Har yanzu, waɗansu mutane sun saba da tunani cewa gumaka ainihi ne, saboda haka sa’ad da suka ci irin abincin nan, sukan ɗauka cewa kamar an miƙa wa ga gunki ne, kuma da yake lamirinsu ba ƙarfi, yakan ƙazantu.
But all believers do not recognize these facts. Some, from force of habit in relation to the idol, even now eat idol sacrifices as such, and their consciences, being but weak, are polluted.
8 Gaskiya ne cewa ba ma samun yardar Allah ta wurin abin da muke ci. Ba ma rasa wani abu idan ba mu ci ba, kuma ba ma ƙaru da wani abu in muka ci.
It is true that a particular kind of food will not bring us into God's presence; we are neither inferior to others if we abstain from it, nor superior to them if we eat it.
9 Sai dai ku yi hankali, kada yin amfani da’yancinku yă zama abin sa tuntuɓe ga marasa ƙarfi.
But take care lest this liberty of yours should prove a hindrance to the progress of weak believers.
10 Gama in wani wanda lamirinsa ba shi da ƙarfi ya gan ka, kai da kake da wannan sani, kana ci a haikalin gumaka, ashe, ba zai sami ƙarfin halin cin abin da aka miƙa wa gumaka ba?
For if any one were to see you, who know the real truth of this matter, reclining at table in an idol's temple, would not his conscience (supposing him to be a weak believer) be emboldened to eat the food which has been sacrificed to the idol?
11 Saboda haka ta wurin sanin nan naka sai ka sa wannan ɗan’uwa marar ƙarfi wanda Kiristi ya mutu dominsa yă hallaka.
Why, your knowledge becomes the ruin of the weak believer--your brother, for whom Christ died!
12 Sa’ad da ka rushe lamiri mai bi marar ƙarfi, ka yi wa Kiristi zunubi ke nan.
Moreover when you thus sin against the brethren and wound their weak consciences, you are, in reality, sinning against Christ.
13 Saboda haka, in abin da nake ci zai sa ɗan’uwana yă yi zunubi, ba zan ƙara cin nama ba, don kada in sa shi yă yi tuntuɓe. (aiōn g165)
Therefore if what I eat causes my brother to fall, never again to the end of my days will I touch any kind of animal food, for fear I should cause my brother to fall. (aiōn g165)
