< 1 Korintusi 8 >

1 A bálványáldozatok felől pedig tudjuk, hogy mindnyájunknak van ismeretünk. Az ismeret felfuvalkodottá tesz, a szeretet pedig épít.
Now [I will answer what you asked] about [us believers] eating meat that has been sacrificed to idols. [We know what some of you say, that God has enabled] all of us [to] know [the truth about things such as idols. But often we become] proud because we say that we know [all those things]. But instead of being proud about what we know, we should show that we love [our fellow believers by helping them to] become spiritually mature.
2 Ha pedig valaki azt hiszi, hogy tud valamit, még semmit sem ismer úgy, a mint ismernie kell.
Those who think that they thoroughly know something do not yet know it as they should.
3 Hanem ha valaki az Istent szereti, az ismertetik ő tőle.
But as for those who love God, they know that they belong to him.
4 Tehát a bálványáldozati hús evése felől tudjuk, hogy egy bálvány sincs a világon, és hogy Isten sincs senki más, hanem csak egy.
So [I will tell you] about eating meat that people have sacrificed to idols. We know that it is true, [as you say], that idols are not really alive. We also know that there is only one real God.
5 Mert ha vannak is úgynevezett istenek akár az égben, akár a földön, a minthogy van sok isten és sok úr;
It is true that there are gods whom people think live in the heavens or whom they think live on earth. Truly, there are many beings that [people] call gods, and whom [they] call lords.
6 Mindazáltal nekünk egy Istenünk van, az Atya, a kitől van a mindenség, mi is ő benne; és egy Urunk, a Jézus Krisztus, a ki által van a mindenség, mi is ő általa.
But for us [believers] there is only one real God. He is [our heavenly] Father who created everything. He is the one whom we [worship and serve]. Also, for us believers Jesus Christ is the one and only Lord. He is the one whom [God caused] to create everything. It is because of what he [has done for us on the cross] that we have [spiritual] life.
7 De nem mindenkiben van meg ez az ismeret; sőt némelyek a bálvány felől való lelkiismeretök szerint mind mai napig mint bálványáldozatot eszik, és az ő lelkiismeretök, mivelhogy erőtelen, megfertőztetik.
Nevertheless, some people do not understand [that idols are not really alive]. In the past, some among you who are believers now were accustomed to believing that idols [were really alive]. As a result, when they eat such meat [now], they still think that it was sacrificed to an idol [that is alive]. They are not sure [that God allows believers to eat meat that has been offered to idols]. So, [when they eat such meat], they think that they have sinned.
8 Pedig az eledel nem tesz minket kedvesekké Isten előtt; mert ha eszünk is, nem leszünk gazdagabbak; ha nem eszünk is, nem leszünk szegényebbek.
But God will not think more highly about us [if we eat certain] foods, or if we do not eat [certain foods]. That is, we are not more acceptable to God if we do not eat certain foods, nor are we more acceptable to him if we eat those foods.
9 De meglássátok, hogy ez a ti szabadságtok valamiképen botránkozásukra ne legyen az erőteleneknek.
However, be sure that you do not do anything that God allows you to do, if by doing that you would encourage any of [your fellow believers to do something that] they are not sure [God allows them to do]. As a result, you would be causing them to sin.
10 Mert ha valaki meglát téged, a kinek ismereted van, hogy a bálványtemplomnál vendégeskedel, annak lelkiismerete, mivelhogy erőtelen, nem arra indíttatik-é, hogy megegye a bálványáldozatot?
For example, you know [that idols are not really alive]. Suppose that in a temple [where they worship] idols you eat [food that has been sacrificed to idols]. Suppose that someone who is not sure whether God allows us to eat that food sees you eating it. [You] would be encouraging him to eat it, too. [RHQ]
11 És a te ismereted miatt elkárhozik a te erőtelen atyádfia, a kiért Krisztus meghalt.
As a result, you who know that [idols are not really alive], might cause that fellow believer, one for whom Christ died, (to be ruined [spiritually]/to stop believing [in Christ]).
12 Így aztán, mikor az atyafiak ellen vétkeztek, és az ő erőtelen lelkiismeretüket megsértitek, a Krisztus ellen vétkeztek.
By sinning against your fellow believer by causing him to do something that he thinks God does not allow us to do, [it is as though] you are sinning against Christ himself!
13 Annakokáért, ha eledel botránkoztatja meg az én atyámfiát, inkább soha sem eszem húst, hogy az én atyámfiát meg ne botránkoztassam. (aiōn g165)
So if [I, Paul, think that by] eating a certain food I might cause a fellow believer to be ruined spiritually, I will never eat such food again. I do not want to cause any fellow believer (to be ruined spiritually/to stop believing in Christ). [And you should] ([do as I do/imitate my example]). (aiōn g165)
