1 Qorontos 8
1 Waaʼee nyaata waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa dhiʼeeffamee akka nu hundinuu beekumsa qabnu beekna. Beekumsi of nama tuulchisa; jaalalli garuu nama ijaara.
And as touching things sacrificed vnto idols, wee knowe that wee all haue knowledge: knowledge puffeth vp, but loue edifieth.
2 Namni waan waa beeku of seʼu inni amma illee akka beekuun isa irra jirutti hin beeku.
Nowe, if any man thinke that hee knoweth any thing, hee knoweth nothing yet as hee ought to knowe.
3 Namni Waaqa jaallatu garuu Waaqaan beekameera.
But if any man loue God, the same is knowen of him.
4 Egaa waaʼee nyaata waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa dhiʼeeffame nyaachuu irratti, “Akka addunyaa kana irratti Waaqni tolfamaan homaa hin fayyadne, Waaqa tokkicha malees akka Waaqni biraa hin jirre” beekna.
Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed vnto idoles, we knowe that an idole is nothing in the worlde, and that there is none other God but one.
5 Dhugumaan akkuma waaqonni baayʼeenii fi gooftonni baayʼeen jiran sana wantoonni waaqota jedhaman samii irra yookaan lafa irra jiraatan iyyuu,
For though there bee that are called gods, whether in heauen, or in earth (as there be many gods, and many lords)
6 garuu Waaqa tokkicha, Abbaa, kan wanni hundi isa biraa dhufe, kan nus isaaf jiraannu qabna; akkasumas Gooftaa tokkicha, Yesuus Kiristoos kan wanni hundi karaa isaatiin dhufee fi kan nuus karaa isaatiin jiraannutu jira.
Yet vnto vs there is but one God, which is that Father, of whome are all things, and we in him: and one Lord Iesus Christ, by whome are all things, and we by him.
7 Garuu namni beekumsa kana qabu nama hunda miti. Namoonni tokko tokko waaqota tolfamoo waan baraniif yommuu nyaata akkanaa nyaatanitti akka waan Waaqa tolfamaaf dhiʼeeffameetti hedu; yaadni garaa isaaniis waan dadhabaa taʼeef ni xuraaʼa.
But euery man hath not that knowledge: for many hauing conscience of the idole, vntill this houre, eate as a thing sacrificed vnto the idole, and so their conscience being weake, is defiled.
8 Nyaanni garuu Waaqatti nu hin dhiʼeessu; yoo nyaachuu baanne wanni nutti hammaatu, yoo nyaannes wanni nutti tolu hin jiru.
But meate maketh not vs acceptable to God, for neither if we eate, haue we the more: neither if we eate not, haue we the lesse.
9 Taʼus akka mirgi keessan kun warra dadhabootti gufuu hin taaneef of eeggadhaa.
But take heede lest by any meanes this power of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weake.
10 Namni yaada dadhabaa qabu tokko yoo utuu ati iyyuu namni beekumsa qabdu mana qulqullummaa Waaqa tolfamaa keessatti nyaattuu si arge inni waan waaqota tolfamoof dhiʼeeffame sana nyaachuuf ija hin jabaatuu?
For if any man see thee which hast knowledge, sit at table in the idoles temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those things which are sacrificed to idoles?
11 Akkasiin obboleessi dadhabaan Kiristoos isaaf jedhee duʼe kun beekumsa keetiin bada.
And through thy knowledge shall the weake brother perish, for whome Christ died.
12 Isinis yoo karaa kanaan obboloota keessanitti cubbuu hojjettan, yaada isaanii isa dadhabaas yoo madeessitan, isin Kiristoositti cubbuu hojjettu.
Nowe when ye sinne so against the brethren, and wound their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christ.
