1 Korintos 8
1 Xagga waxyaalaha sanamyada loo sadqeeyo, waxaynu garanaynaa inaynu dhammaan aqoon u wada leennahay. Aqoontu way kibrisaa, jacaylkuse wax buu dhisaa.
Mayelana-ke lezinto ezihlatshelwe izithombe, siyazi ukuthi sonke silolwazi. Ulwazi luyakhukhumeza, kodwa uthando luyakha.
2 Qof uuni hadduu u malaynayo inuu wax garanayo, weli garan maayo siduu u garan lahaa.
Uba-ke umuntu esithi uyazi ulutho, kakazi lutho njengoba kufanele ukuthi azi;
3 Laakiin qof uuni hadduu Ilaah jecel yahay, Ilaah baa garanaya isaga.
kodwa uba umuntu ethanda uNkulunkulu, yena uyaziwa nguye.
4 Haddaba xagga cunidda waxyaalaha sanamyada loo sadqeeyo, waxaynu garanaynaa inuusan sanam waxba dunida ka ahayn oo aan Ilaah jirin mid mooyaane.
Ngakho mayelana lokudla izinto ezihlatshelwe izithombe, siyazi ukuthi isithombe kasilutho emhlabeni, lokuthi kakho omunye unkulunkulu ngaphandle koyedwa.
5 Waayo, in kastoo ay samada iyo dhulkaba jiraan wax ilaahyo lagu sheego, sidii iyadoo ilaahyo badan iyo sayidyo badni jiraan,
Ngoba lanxa kukhona okuthiwa ngonkulunkulu, loba kusezulwini loba kusemhlabeni (njengoba kukhona onkulunkulu abanengi, lamakhosi amanengi),
6 laakiin innagu waxaynu leennahay Ilaah keliya oo Aabbaha ah, kan wax waluba ka yimaadaan oo innagana isagaa ina leh, iyo Sayid keliya oo Ciise Masiix ah, kan wax waluba ku ahaadeen oo innaguna isagaynu ku ahaannay.
kanti kithi kuloNkulunkulu munye, uBaba, okuvela kuye izinto zonke, lathi sikuye; leNkosi inye, uJesu Kristu, okwavela ngaye konke, lathi sikhona ngaye.
7 Laakiin dad oo dhammu aqoontaas ma wada laha, laakiin qaar sanamka tan iyo hadda u bartay, waxay u qabaan waxay cunaan sidii wax sanam loo sadqeeyo, qalbigooda itaalka daranina wuu nijaasoobay.
Kodwa ulwazi kalukho kubo bonke; kanti abanye belesazela sesithombe kuze kube khathesi bayakudla njengokuhlatshelwe isithombe, lesazela sabo esibuthakathaka singcoliswa.
8 Cuntadu ina hor joojin mayso Ilaah. Haddaynan cunin waxba inagama dhacaan, haddaynu cunnona waxba inooma kordhaan.
Kodwa ukudla kakusisondezi kuNkulunkulu; ngoba kungesikuthi nxa sisidla, silenzuzo; njalo kungesikuthi nxa singadli, silokulahlekelwa.
9 Laakiin iska dhawra si aan ikhtiyaarkiinnu wax lagu turunturoodo ugu noqon kuwa itaalka daran.
Qaphelani-ke, hlezi amandla enu la abe yisikhubekiso kwababuthakathaka.
10 Haddii qof ku arko adigoo aqoonta leh oo cunto ugu fadhiya meeshii sanamyada, hadduu qalbiga ka itaal daranyahay, qalbigiisu miyaanu ku adkaanaynin inuu cuno waxa sanamyada loo sadqeeyo?
Ngoba uba umuntu ekubona wena ololwazi uhlezi ekudleni ethempelini lesithombe, isazela salowo obuthakathaka kasiyikuqiniswa yini ukuthi adle izinto ezihlatshelwe izithombe?
11 Waayo, waxaa aqoontaada aawadeed lumaya ka itaalka daran oo ah walaalkaagii uu Masiixu aawadiis u dhintay.
Ngenxa yolwazi lwakho lomzalwane obuthakathaka uzabhubha yini, amfelayo uKristu?
12 Markaad walaalaha sidaas ugu dembaabtaan oo aad qalbigooda itaalka daran u xumaysaan, waxaad ku dembaabtaan Masiix.
Kodwa uba lisona ngokunjalo kubazalwane, lilimaza isazela sabo esibuthakathaka, liyona kuKristu.
