1 Korintiana 8
1 Aa ty amo raha banabanaeñe amo hazomangaoo: ataon-tika te songa aman-kilala tika; mampiebotsebotse ty hilala, fe mampiraorao ty koko.
Now about the things sacrificed to idols. We know that all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 Naho eo ty mieva t’ie mahafohin-draha, le mboe tsy ama’e ty hilala do’e.
If any man presumes to know anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 Fe arofoanan’ Añahare o mikoko azeo.
But if any man loves God, this man is known by him.
4 Aa ty amo fikamañe raha nisoroñañe an-kazomangao, fohin-tika te tsitantane atoy ty samposampo, naho te Raike tsi-roe-tsi-telo t’i Andrianañahare.
Therefore about eating the things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one.
5 Aa ndra te ao ze o ndrañahareo, ke andindìñe añe, he an-tane atoy (toe maro o ‘ndrañahareo mbore tsifotofoto o talèo),
For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords,
6 fe aman-tika, raike t’i Andrianañahare, i Rae niboaha’ ze he’e naho iveloman-tikañey; Raike ka i Talè Iesoà Norizañey—ie ty nanoeñe ze kila raha, naho itika añama’ey.
yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
7 Fe mboe tsy ama’ ze hene ondaty i hilala zay. Ty ila’e, ie zatse i hazomangay am-para’ henane, ro mikama hoe te binanabana an-kazomanga, vaho mahativa i arofo’ey i haleme’ey.
Nevertheless the knowledge is not in all men, but some, with conscience of the idol until now, eat as sacrificed to idols, and their weak conscience is defiled.
8 Toe tsy fañarineañe aman’ Añahare ty mahakama; le tsy mahafotsake t’ie tsy mikama, vaho tsy onjoñe’e te tsy mikama.
But food does not present us to God, for neither if we eat are we ahead, nor if we do not eat are we behind.
9 Fe mitaòa, kera ho vato mahatsikapy o maifoifoo ty fidadàn’ arofo’ areo.
But take heed lest somehow this privilege of yours becomes a stumbling-block to those who are weak.
10 Amy t’ie mahaisak’ azo t’indaty, te ihe mahilala ro mikama an-toe’ i hazomangay, le va’e mahaosike i tsy maozatse añ’arofoy ty hikama i haneñe binanabana amo raham-pahasiveoy.
For if some man sees thee, who has knowledge, dining in an idol-temple, will not his conscience, being weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
11 Aa akore te hianto ty amy hilala’oy i longo’o maifoifo nivilasia’ i Norizañeiy.
And by thy knowledge the brother, being weak, will be ruined, for whom Christ died.
12 Aa ie mandilatse aman-drolongo ro mahafere i arofo’e malemey, le aman-tahiñe amy Norizañey.
And sinning this way against the brothers, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
