1 Korintoarrei 8
1 Eta idoley sacrificatzen diraden gaucéz den becembatean, badaquigu ecen guciéc eçagutze badugula: eçagutzeac hancen du, baina charitateac edificatzen.
Now as concerning things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love (agape) edifies.
2 Eta baldin edoceinec vste badu cerbait badaquiala, eztu oraino eçagutu deus eçagutu behar den beçala.
And if any man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 Baina baldin cembeitec Iaincoari on badaritza, hura harçaz iracatsi içan da.
But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4 Bada idoley sacrificatzen diraden gaucén iateaz den becembatean, badaquigu ecen deus eztela idolá munduan, eta eztela berce Iaincoric bat baicen.
As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
5 Ecen iainco deitzen diradenac badirade-ere, bada ceruän bada lurrean (nola anhitz iainco baita, eta anhitz iaun )
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many, )
6 Baina guc Iainco Aitabat dugu, ceinaganic baitirade gauça guciac, eta gu hartan: eta Iaun-bat, Iesus Christ, ceinez baitirade gauça guciac, eta gu harçaz.
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 Baina ezta gucietan eçagutzea, ecen batzuc idolaren conscientiarequin oraindrano, idoley sacrificatutic beçala iaten duté: eta hayén conscientiá nola ezpaita fermu, satsutzen da.
Nevertheless there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8 Bada viandác ezgaitu Iaincoaren gogaracotzenago: ecen ian badeçagu-ere, ezgara vkansuago: eta ian ezpadeçagu-ere, eztugu gutiago.
But food commends us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 Baina beguirauçue çuen puissança hori infirmo diradeney nolazpait scandalotan eztén.
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumbling block to them that are weak.
10 Ecen baldin norbeitec ikus baheça hi eçagutze duanor, iarriric agoela idolén templeco mahainean, infirmo denaren conscientiá ezta instruituren idolari sacrificatu diraden gaucetaric iatera?
For if any man see you which have knowledge sit to eat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11 Eta hire eçagutze horreçaz galduren da anaye infirmo dena, ceinagatic Christ hil içan baita?
And through your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 Bada hunela anayén contra bekatu eguiten duçuenean, eta hayén conscientia infirmoa çaurtzen duçuenean, Christen contra bekatu eguiten duçue.
But when all of you sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, all of you sin against Christ.
