1 Ukorintiyawa 8
1 Nene ubelle nille imon na ina bọ bara incil, tiyiru nani, “vat bite dinin yiru” uyinnu din dak nin ghatinu liti, usu din ke imon.
But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
2 Asa umon din kpilizu ame yiru imoimon, unit une nsa yinnu nafo udu ayinin ba.
If any one think he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know [it].
3 Adin umon dinin su Kutellẹ, Kutellẹ wang yirughe.
But if any one love God, he is known of him):
4 Kitene in li nimonli ile na ina nakpa incil: arike yiru “incil nanya yii ulele na imonari ba” tutung, “na nkon Kutellẹ duku ba kurumari.”
— concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in [the] world, and that there [is] no other God save one.
5 Vat nin nani, amon duku alle na idin sunani atellẹ nanya kitene kani sa inyii, nafo na atellẹ nan cinilari dukun gbardang.”
For and if indeed there are [those] called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many, )
6 Vat nani kiti bitẹ tidi nin Kutellẹ kurum Ncif bit unuzu kiti mere vat nimon, kiti mere ti sosin, nin Cikilari Yisa Kristi warum. kiti mere imon duku nin kit mere arik sosin.”
yet to us [there is] one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him.
7 Vat nani, na ulẹ uyire koghari dimunba. Amon na di incil, inug leo imonli ilenge na iwa nakpa incil, nibinai mine wa ti nanza usali likara.
But knowledge [is] not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8 Na bara imonliari ba ti iyiru nari udu kiti Kutellẹ ba. Na ti nana ba tiwa din woru na ti leo ba, sa tiwa so sa ulẹ ukatin nani.
But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.
9 Nin nani sun seig, na u shutu mine nwaso umon ule na adinin nagang nanya yinnu sa uyenu ba, imon ndiu.
But see lest anywise this your right [to eat] itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.
10 Bara umon wa yene fi, ule na adinin yiru, udi nli nimonli kutyin incil. Na nibinai minere nin diru nakare ba ni ani agang nli nimon ile na inakpa incile ba?
For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?
11 Bara uyiru kidegen fe kitenen ncil, gwana fe kilime sa kishono anan diru likara na Kristi wa ku bara inug, aba wullu.
and the weak [one], the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge.
12 Yinno asa uta gwanafine kilime sa kishono unanzu nibinai mine nin sali likara ukul, uta Kristi ku kulapi.
Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
