١ كورنثوس 8
| وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ مَا ذُبِحَ لِلْأَوْثَانِ: فَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ لِجَمِيعِنَا عِلْمًا. ٱلْعِلْمُ يَنْفُخُ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ تَبْنِي. | ١ 1 |
Now as concerning things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
| فَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ شَيْئًا، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ شَيْئًا بَعْدُ كَمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ يَعْرِفَ! | ٢ 2 |
And if any man thinketh that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُحِبُّ ٱللهَ، فَهَذَا مَعْرُوفٌ عِنْدَهُ. | ٣ 3 |
But if any man loveth God, the same is known by him.
| فَمِنْ جِهَةِ أَكْلِ مَا ذُبِحَ لِلْأَوْثَانِ: نَعْلَمُ أَنْ لَيْسَ وَثَنٌ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَأَنْ لَيْسَ إِلَهٌ آخَرُ إِلَّا وَاحِدًا. | ٤ 4 |
Therefore as concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
| لِأَنَّهُ وَإِنْ وُجِدَ مَا يُسَمَّى آلِهَةً، سِوَاءٌ كَانَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَوْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، كَمَا يُوجَدُ آلِهَةٌ كَثِيرُونَ وَأَرْبَابٌ كَثِيرُونَ. | ٥ 5 |
For though there are that are called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, as there are gods many, and lords many, )
| لَكِنْ لَنَا إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ: ٱلْآبُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْهُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ، وَنَحْنُ لَهُ. وَرَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ: يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ، ٱلَّذِي بِهِ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ، وَنَحْنُ بِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
| وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلْعِلْمُ فِي ٱلْجَمِيعِ. بَلْ أُنَاسٌ بِٱلضَّمِيرِ نَحْوَ ٱلْوَثَنِ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ يَأْكُلُونَ كَأَنَّهُ مِمَّا ذُبِحَ لِوَثَنٍ، فَضَمِيرُهُمْ إِذْ هُوَ ضَعِيفٌ يَتَنَجَّسُ. | ٧ 7 |
But there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol to this hour eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
| وَلَكِنَّ ٱلطَّعَامَ لَا يُقَدِّمُنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّنَا إِنْ أَكَلْنَا لَا نَزِيدُ وَإِنْ لَمْ نَأْكُلْ لَا نَنْقُصُ. | ٨ 8 |
But food commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
| وَلَكِنِ ٱنْظُرُوا لِئَلَّا يَصِيرَ سُلْطَانُكُمْ هَذَا مَعْثَرَةً لِلضُّعَفَاءِ. | ٩ 9 |
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours should become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
| لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ رَآكَ أَحَدٌ يَا مَنْ لَهُ عِلْمٌ، مُتَّكِئًا فِي هَيْكَلِ وَثَنٍ، أَفَلَا يَتَقَوَّى ضَمِيرُهُ، إِذْ هُوَ ضَعِيفٌ، حَتَّى يَأْكُلَ مَا ذُبِحَ لِلْأَوْثَانِ؟! | ١٠ 10 |
For if any man shall see thee who hast knowledge sit eating in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
| فَيَهْلِكَ بِسَبَبِ عِلْمِكَ ٱلْأَخُ ٱلضَّعِيفُ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
| وَهَكَذَا إِذْ تُخْطِئُونَ إِلَى ٱلْإِخْوَةِ وَتَجْرَحُونَ ضَمِيرَهُمُ ٱلضَّعِيفَ، تُخْطِئُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَسِيحِ. | ١٢ 12 |
But when ye thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
