1 Corinto 8
1 Ita, maipanggep iti taraon a naidaton kadagiti didiosen: Ammotayo nga “adda amin pannakaammotayo.” Agpannakkel ti pannakaammo, ngem dumakdakkel ti ayat.
Now, with respect to meats offered to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up with pride, but love edifies.
2 No ipagarup ti siasinoman nga ammona ti maysa a banag, dayta a tao ket saanna pay nga ammo a kas ti rumbeng nga ammona.
If any one thinks that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet, as he ought to know it:
3 Ngem no ay-ayaten ti siasinoman ti Dios, dayta a tao ket am-ammona.
but if any one loves God, he is taught by him).
4 Isu a maipanggep iti panangan iti naidaton a makan kadagiti didiosen: Ammotayo a “ti didiosen iti daytoy a lubong ket awan serserbina” ken “awan sabali a Dios no di ket ti maymaysa a Dios.”
With respect, then, to the eating of meats offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
5 Ta adu dagiti maaw-awagan a dios idiay langit wenno ditoy daga, a kas ti kinaadda dagiti adu a “dios ken ap-appo.”
For though there are those which are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are many gods, and many lords, )
6 “Ngem para kadatayo, adda laeng maymaysa a Dios Ama, nagtaud kenkuana amin a banbanag, ken agbibiagtayo gapu kenkuana, ken maymaysa nga Apo a ni Jesu-Cristo, a babaen kenkuana ket adda amin a banbanag, ken babaen kenkuana nga addatayo.”
yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 Nupay kasta, daytoy a pannakaammo ket awan iti tunggal maysa. Ngem ketdi, nagrukbab dagiti dadduma idi iti didiosen, ken kankanenda daytoy a taraon a kasla maysa a banag a naidaton iti didiosen. Iti kasta narugitan dagiti konsensiada gapu ta nakapoy daytoy.
But all have not this knowledge; for some, under the persuasion that an idol is a reality, even yet eat meat, as if it were offered to an idol, and their conscience being weak, is defiled.
8 Ngem ti taraon ket saannatayo nga iyasideg iti Dios. Saantayo a dakes no saantayo a mangan wenno nasayaat no kanentayo daytoy.
But meat commends us not to God; for, neither if we eat are we better, nor, if we eat not, are we worse.
9 Ngem salwadam a ti wayawayam ket saan nga agbalin a pakaitibkolan ti maysa a nakapsut ti pammatina.
But take heed, lest, by any means, this right of yours become a stumbling-block to those who are weak.
10 Ta kaspangarigan adda maysa a tao a makakita kenka, nga addaaan iti pannakaammo, a mangmangan iti taraon idiay templo ti didiosen. Saan kadi a ti nakapuy a konsensiana ket mapatured a mangan iti naidaton iti didiosen?
For, if any one see you, who have knowledge, reclining at table in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened, so that he will eat meats offered to idols?
11 Isu a gapu iti pannakaawatyo maipanggep iti pudno a kababalin dagiti didiosen, ti nakapkapsut a kabsat a lalaki wenno babai, a nakatayan ni Cristo, ket nadadael.
and will not the weak brother, for whom Christ died, perish through your knowledge?
12 Ngarud, no makabasolka iti kakabsatmo a lallaki ken babbai ken nasugatam ti nakapuy a konsensiada, makabasolka kenni Cristo.
But if you sin in this way against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
13 Ngarud, no ti taraon ti pakaitibkolan ti kabsatko a lalaki wenno babai, saanakton pulos a mangan manen ti karne, tapno saan a siak ti pakaigapuan a matinnag ti kabsatko a lalaki wenno babai. (aiōn g165)
For which reason, if meat cause my brother to fall, I will never eat meat, lest I cause my brother to fall. (aiōn g165)
