1 Koriniti 8
1 Na, mo nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko: E mohio ana tatou kei a tatou katoa te matauranga. Ko ta te matauranga he whakapupuhi; ko ta te aroha ia he waihanga.
To speake of thinges dedicate vnto ydols we are sure that we all have knowledge. knowledge maketh a man swell: bnt love edifieth.
2 Ki te mea tetahi e matau ana ia ki tetahi mea, kahore tona matauranga kia rite noa ki to te matauranga tikanga;
If eny man thinke that he knoweth eny thinge he knoweth nothynge yet as he ought to knowe.
3 Ki te aroha ia tetahi ki te Atua, kua matauria tenei e ia.
But yf eny man love god the same is knowen of him.
4 Na reira mo te kai i nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko, e mohio ana tatou he kore noa iho te whakapakoko i te ao, kahore hoki he atua ke, kotahi anake.
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 Ahakoa hoki tera nga mea e kiia nei he atua, i te rangi ranei, i te whenua ranei; he tini nei hoki nga atua, he tini nga ariki;
And though ther be yt are called goddes whether in heven other in erth (as ther be goddes many and lordes many)
6 Ki a tatou ia kotahi ano Atua, ko te Matua, i ahu mai i a ia nga mea katoa, ko tatou ki a ia; kotahi hoki Ariki, ko Ihu Karaiti, nana nei nga mea katoa, nana hoki tatou.
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 Otira kahore tera matauranga i nga tangata katoa: engari tera ano etahi, i te mea kua taunga ki te whakapakoko tae mai ki naianei, e kai ana i te mea i patua ma te whakapakoko; a ka poke to ratou hinengaro ngoikore.
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 Ehara ra ia te kai i te mea e paingia ai tatou e te Atua: no te mea ahakoa kahore tatou e kai, e kore e heke iho to tatou pai; a ahakoa kai tatou, e kore e kake to tatou pai.
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 Engari kia tupato ki tenei wahi i tukua nei ki a koutou, kei waiho hei whakahinga mo te hunga ngoikore.
But take hede that youre libertie cause not ye weake to faule.
10 Ki te mea hoki ka kite tetahi i a koe, i te mea mohio, e noho ana ki te aki i roto i te temepara o te whakapakoko, e kore koia e kakama ake tona hinengaro, mehemea ia he ngoikore, e kakama ake ki te kai i nga mea e patua ana ma te whakapakoko?
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 Ma tou matauranga hoki ka ngaro ai te mea ngoikore, te teina he whakaaro nei ki a ia i mate ai a te Karaiti.
And so thorow thy knowledge shall ye weake brother perisshe for whom christ dyed.
12 Na, i a koutou ka hara nei ki nga teina, ka patu nei i to ratou hinengaro ngoikore, e hara ana koutou ki a te Karaiti.
Whe ye synne so agaynst the brethren and wounde their weake consciences ye synne agaynst Christ.
