1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Linu kuamana ni zilyo ziva nelwa ku va zimu. Twizi kuti “tuvonse twina ingana.” im ingana ileta mwipo kono ilato lizakisa.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
Haiva zumwi uhupula kuti wizi chimwi, zuna muntu kakwina chezi cha swanela kwiziva.
3 But anyone who loves God is known by him.
Kono yense yo saka Ireeza, zuna muntu wizi kuti Ireeza u musaka.
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
Kuamana ni kulya zilyo zi vanelwa kuva zimu: Twizi kuti “muzimu we inu inkanda kakwina” mi “kuti kakwina ungi Ireeza kunde ya kwe.
5 For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—
Mwendi va tewa kuti vazimu kuvi vwina, konse mwi hulu kapa ni hansi, sina muve njihile “vazimu” ni va “simwine.”
6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
Niha kuva vulyo kwetu, “Kwina fela Ireeza yenke ishetu, zonse zintu vizwa kwali, mi nje ye utu hala kali, ni Jesu Kreste Simwine yenke, iye umo zintu zonse zihala, iye umo tuhala.
7 However, that knowledge is not in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
Ni hakuva vulyo, iyi izivo kaina ku zumwi ni zumwi. kono, vamwi vava ku lapela ziswaniso, mi va kulya zilyo uvu zi nelelwe ku ziswaniso. Che zwalo lyava lisakolete.
8 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.
Kono zilyo kete zitu zimanine kwa Ireeza. Katu dodovela haiva katulile.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
kono mutokomele kuti intukuluho yenu kanzi ivi kuti wina intumelo ifokola asitatale.
10 For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
mi pona chi kuwanika kuti zumwi u ku vwene, wina inzivo, kulya zilyo mwi tempele ya vazimu. lizwalo lifokola limu hambilize kuti alye zinelelwe kuva zimu.
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
Linu chevaka lye nkutwisiso kuamana ni vuniti vwa va zimu, va fokola, mukwangu yava fwili Kreste, mwe haiwe.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Linu hamu fosekeza bakwenu muholofaza izwalo lyavo
