1 Abakkolinso 8
1 Kale ku nsonga ey’okuwaayo ssaddaaka eri bakatonda abalala: tumanyi nti byonna tubitegeera. Naye okwerowooza nti tumanyi kuleeta okwekuluntaza naye okwagala kuzimba.
To speake of thinges dedicate vnto ydols we are sure that we all have knowledge. knowledge maketh a man swell: bnt love edifieth.
2 Omuntu alowooza nti amanyi, aba alaga nga bw’atannamanya era nga bwe kimugwanira okumanya.
If eny man thinke that he knoweth eny thinge he knoweth nothynge yet as he ought to knowe.
3 Naye oyo ayagala Katonda amanyibwa Katonda.
But yf eny man love god the same is knowen of him.
4 Kale ku nsonga eno ey’okulya ebiweereddwayo eri bakatonda abalala, tumanyi bakatonda abalala bwe bataliimu nsa. Era tumanyi nga waliwo Katonda omu yekka, tewali mulala.
To speake of meate dedicat vnto ydols we are sure that ther is none ydoll in the worlde and that ther is none other god but one.
5 Waliwo abayitibwa bakatonda abali mu ggulu ne ku nsi newaakubadde nga waliwo bakatonda bangi n’abaami bangi.
And though ther be yt are called goddes whether in heven other in erth (as ther be goddes many and lordes many)
6 Kyokka ffe tumanyi nga waliwo Katonda omu yekka, ye Kitaffe, era ye yatonda ebintu byonna, era naffe tuli mu ye, era nga waliwo Mukama omu ye Yesu Kristo, ebintu byonna mwe byayita okutondebwa, era mu ye mwe tuyita okufuna obulamu.
yet vnto vs is there but one god which is the father of whom are all thinges and we in him: and one lorde Iesus Christ by whom are all thinges and we by him.
7 Kyokka kino abamu tebakimanyi. Obulamu bwabwe bwonna bwamanyiira okulowooza nti bakatonda abalala balamu ddala, era nga n’ebiweebwayo ebyo biweebwayo eri bakatonda ddala. Kaakano bwe balya emmere eyo eyonoona emyoyo gyabwe, kuba minafu, beeyonoona bokka.
But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that ther is an ydoll vntyll this houre and eate as of a thinge offered vnto ye ydole and so their consciences beynge yet weake are defyled.
8 Naye emmere si yeetuleetera okusiimibwa Katonda. Bwe tutagirya tewaba kye tusubwa, era ne bwe tugirya terina kye twongerako.
Meate maketh vs not acceptable to god. Nether yf we eate are we ye better. Nether yf we eate not are we the worsse.
9 Kyokka mwegendereze bwe muba mukozesa eddembe lyabwe eryo, si kulwa nga mwesittaza abo abanafu mu kukkiriza.
But take hede that youre libertie cause not ye weake to faule.
10 Kubanga ggwe amanyi, singa omunafu mu kukkiriza akulaba ng’olya mu ssabo lya bakatonda abalala, ekyo tekirimugumya okulya ebiweereddwayo eri bakatonda abalala.
For yf some man se ye which hast knowledge sit at meate in the ydoles teple shall not the conscience of hym which is weake be boldened to eate those thinges which are offered vnto ye ydole?
11 Kale owooluganda oyo omunafu, Kristo gwe yafiirira, azikirizibwe olw’okumanya kwo!
And so thorow thy knowledge shall ye weake brother perisshe for whom christ dyed.
12 Noolwekyo bwe mukola ekibi ku booluganda muba muleeta ekiwundu ku mwoyo gwabwe kubanga banafu, era muba mukola kibi eri Kristo.
Whe ye synne so agaynst the brethren and wounde their weake consciences ye synne agaynst Christ.
