1 Korintho 8
1 Itungo ile kukiila ndya nupumigwe isongeelyo kuadudu: kulengile kina “use kehi kukete usigi. Usegi weleta ntogo, inge ulowe wezenga.
Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 Angeze muntu wehi usigile kina ulengile ikani fulani, umuntu uyu wakile kulenga anga neyemununee walenge.
But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
3 Kuite angeze ung'wiwao anga wamulowe Itunda, umuntu uyu wigeelekile kung'waakwe.
But anyone who loves God is known by him.
4 Inge kuhusu nukulya indya nupumigwe isongeelyo kuadudu kulengile kina “ududu singa kintu munu mihe eye.”
Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
5 Kundogoilyo akole edu neitangwa adudu angeze kilunde ang'wi mihe, anga uu neile “adudu niakulu edu.”
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 “Ateze kitaitu ukole Itunda ung'wi udu nung'wenso Tata, intu yehi ipumile kung'waakwe, nusese kikie kung'waakwe nu Mukulu ung'wi Yesu Kilisto, nuanso kitaitu maintu ehi akole, hange kung'wenso nusese kukole.”
yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
7 Ata uu, ulugu uyu weketile kukela muntu. Kuleka ite, neangiza aeipalung'wi nikulyo laadudu apo pakali, nitungo gaa akulyaindya zizi anga kentu kepumigwe isongeelyo kuadudu. Isigo nelao apeuwe kunsoko aunegetu.
However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8 Kuite indya shanga yukuigeelya usese kung'wi Tunda. Usese singa kiabi kukila anga kukite kulya, ang'wi ukukende kukila ang'wi kuulya.
But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.
9 Kuite mutule nuahuguku kina uwidesi wanyu uleke kutula nsoko akumela uyu numunegetu muuhueli.
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
10 Embu siga kina umuntu ukuine uewe nukete uukugu, ukulya indya mitekelelo laadudu. Isigo lakwe umuntu uyu shayukulengeka sunga ung'wenso nuyo kulya iintu niipumigwe isongeelyo kuadudu?
For if a man 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 Kuite kunsoko aulengi nuako nuatai kuupuma nuadudu, ukaka ang'wi udada nuako numunegetu, nung'we gaa aushiwe nu Kilisto kunsoko akwe, ukulimeligwe.
And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
12 Uu, nukituma umulandu kung'wa kaka nukung'wa dada ako nukumalemaalya imasigo ao nimanegetu, mukituma mulandu kung'wa Kilisto.
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
