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 concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we 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.
But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
3 Fe arofoanan’ Añahare o mikoko azeo.
But anyone who loves God 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 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 Aa ndra te ao ze o ndrañahareo, ke andindìñe añe, he an-tane atoy (toe maro o ‘ndrañahareo mbore tsifotofoto o talèo),
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 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, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, through whom are all things, and we live 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.
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 Toe tsy fañarineañe aman’ Añahare ty mahakama; le tsy mahafotsake t’ie tsy mikama, vaho tsy onjoñe’e te tsy mikama.
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 Fe mitaòa, kera ho vato mahatsikapy o maifoifoo ty fidadàn’ arofo’ areo.
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the 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 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 Aa akore te hianto ty amy hilala’oy i longo’o maifoifo nivilasia’ i Norizañeiy.
And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Messiah died.
12 Aa ie mandilatse aman-drolongo ro mahafere i arofo’e malemey, le aman-tahiñe amy Norizañey.
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Messiah.
