1 Korinthians 8
1 Nitre biri wa ba ti niwa ana hei nikon Rji na, wawu a hei nikon wu hadaya guma kai kito. “wuki hei nito kpiwa ba tsor” wu to bu din ani ya da gyi santu wu kpe wa zanki wa wuyi ki kpayi ni gbabu ni mla kpabu tei.
Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 Wu tater ni wu wundi wa wu to kpe wana takpe na, indi biki ana tokpe rhina ni mer ma.
But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
3 Du indi wa kpayeme ni irji, wu irji a to indi ki.
But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
4 Ni ter biri wa ba ti ni guma kai hadaya, kito ni “Gunki ni gbugbulu ana kpe na”, wa hei naki, “Irji ri ana hei na Irji riri wa a tei ta.
Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one.
5 U kita banya kiya rito iri mri Rji bi ziza wa ba yoh bani allo li ba hei ni shulu da hei ni gbugblu nawa irji “gbugbulu ba hei ni” alloli ni iyayengiji.
For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"
6 Du naki nikita, ki hei ni Rji rhiri wa wawu a tembu, wawuyi du kpi ni son bu ki hei ni who ma ni verma Yesu Krisiti Irji mbu ni wuyi ikpi bi gbugbluyi ba hei ta wawu kison ni wawuyi
yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus (the) Messiah, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
7 Du naki, ana ko nha a hei ni toyi naki na ko naki, ikpi biwa batei wa riga da wu ce na biwa ba bauta ni gunki wu ba rhibinyi wa ba tei ni gumalia, Wu mer mba a riga tei meme ye isor a riga da ti kpanye.
However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being so accustomed to idols until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
8 Wu kpe wa kiri anawawu nisa kika to Rji na. Ana meme na wukina rina, wu na bina meha wuki ta ri.
But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
9 Wuka mlaya na du zre me du hei wa ni du rhi joku nikon Rji na waw hei ni rarraunar ban gaskiya.
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
10 U toki indi wa ato wu ndi u hei ni ilimi u si rhi ni ba ni kobi wu gunki. Toki wuna zo u yada a ni kri gbangban ni kon Rji na da njunkon wu rhi biri wa mlatei ni bi wu brji.
For if someone sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
11 Nitu to, me gre ni kpe wu bima ni wujaji, u to gumaka, iwa ana hei ni gbeigble na wa a vayi iwa kristi a kwiu ni tuma ni ti meme.
And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Messiah died.
12 Wuta lha ter ni mini vayi me, wi a kpa mer mba ti meme wu lhter ni Rji.
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Messiah.
