1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
MA na mea i kaumahaia na na kii, ua ike no kakou, ua naauao no kakou a pau. He mea hookiekie ka naauao: o ke aloha nae ka mea e nui ai ka ikaika.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
Ina i manao kekahi, ua akamai ia, aole ia e akamai iki e like me ke akamai e pono ai oia.
3 But anyone who loves God is known by him.
Aka, ina i aloha aku kekahi i ke Akua, ua ikea mai oia e ia.
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.
Ma ka ai ana i na mea i kaumahaia na na kii, ua ike no kakou, he mea ole ke kii, ma ka honua nei, aole hoi he Akua e ae, hookahi wale no.
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”—
He mea no nae i kapaia, he Akua, ma ka lani paha, ma ka hopua paha, no ka mea, ua nui na'kua, a ua nui na haku:
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.
Aka, ia kakou, hookahi no Akua, o ka Makua, a nana mai na mea a pau, a ia ia hoi kakou nei: hookaihi no Haku, o Iesu Kristo, ma ona la na mea a pau, a ma ona la hoi kakou.
7 However, that knowledge isn’t 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.
Aka, aole i na kanaka a pau keia ike; no ka mea, i keia wa no, me ka manao i na kii, ai no kekahi poe me he mea la i mohaiia na ke kii; a no ka nawaliwali o ko lakou naau, ua haumia.
8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat are we the worse, nor if we eat are we the better.
Aole hoi kakou e aponoia e ke Akua no ka ai; no ka mea, ina e ai kakou, aole e oi ko kakou maikai ilaila; a i ai ole kakou, aole e oi ko kakou ino ilaila.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
E malama hoi oukou, o lilo auanei keia pono o oukou, i mea e hihia ai, no ka poe hawawa.
10 For if a man 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?
Ina i ike mai kekahi ia oe, i ka mea naauao, e noho ana e ai iloko o ka heiau o ke kii, aole anei e eueu ka manao o ke kanaka hawawa, e ai i na mea i mohaiia na na kii?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
Alaila, no kou naauao ana, e make no ka hoahanau hawawa, nona i make ai o Kristo.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
A i ka oukou hana hewa ana pela i na hoahanau, a i ko oukou hoeha ana i ko lakou naau nawaliwali, ua hana hewa oukou ia Kristo.
