Korineto I 8
1 MA na mea i kaumahaia na na kii, ua ike no kakou, ua naauao no kakou a pau. He mea hookiekie ka naauao: o ke aloha nae ka mea e nui ai ka ikaika.
Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 Ina i manao kekahi, ua akamai ia, aole ia e akamai iki e like me ke akamai e pono ai oia.
But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
3 Aka, ina i aloha aku kekahi i ke Akua, ua ikea mai oia e ia.
But if anyone loves God, this one is known by him.
4 Ma ka ai ana i na mea i kaumahaia na na kii, ua ike no kakou, he mea ole ke kii, ma ka honua nei, aole hoi he Akua e ae, hookahi wale no.
Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5 He mea no nae i kapaia, he Akua, ma ka lani paha, ma ka hopua paha, no ka mea, ua nui na'kua, a ua nui na haku:
For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"
6 Aka, ia kakou, hookahi no Akua, o ka Makua, a nana mai na mea a pau, a ia ia hoi kakou nei: hookaihi no Haku, o Iesu Kristo, ma ona la na mea a pau, a ma ona la hoi kakou.
yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Yeshua Meshikha, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
7 Aka, aole i na kanaka a pau keia ike; no ka mea, i keia wa no, me ka manao i na kii, ai no kekahi poe me he mea la i mohaiia na ke kii; a no ka nawaliwali o ko lakou naau, ua haumia.
However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being so accustomed to idols until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8 Aole hoi kakou e aponoia e ke Akua no ka ai; no ka mea, ina e ai kakou, aole e oi ko kakou maikai ilaila; a i ai ole kakou, aole e oi ko kakou ino ilaila.
But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
9 E malama hoi oukou, o lilo auanei keia pono o oukou, i mea e hihia ai, no ka poe hawawa.
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
10 Ina i ike mai kekahi ia oe, i ka mea naauao, e noho ana e ai iloko o ka heiau o ke kii, aole anei e eueu ka manao o ke kanaka hawawa, e ai i na mea i mohaiia na na kii?
For if someone sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
11 Alaila, no kou naauao ana, e make no ka hoahanau hawawa, nona i make ai o Kristo.
And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Meshikha died.
12 A i ka oukou hana hewa ana pela i na hoahanau, a i ko oukou hoeha ana i ko lakou naau nawaliwali, ua hana hewa oukou ia Kristo.
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Meshikha.
