1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Woli ingulu ye bhilyo bhinu bhisosibhwe bhiyanwa ku masusano: echimenya ati “Eswe bhona chili no bhwenge.” Obhwenge obhuleta echigundu, tali elyenda elyumbaka.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
Ikabhati omunu wona wona ketogelati kamenya omusango mulebhe, omunu oyo atakumenya kutyo jimwiile okumenya.
3 But anyone who loves God is known by him.
Nawe umwi wemwe akamwenda Nyamuanga, omunu oyo kamenyekana nage.
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.
Mbe ingulu yo kulya bhilyo bhinu bhisosibhwe bhiyanwa ku masusano: echimenya ati “amasusano bhitali bhinu kuchalo anu,” na ati atalio Nyamuanga undi ila ni umwila.”
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”—
Kulwokubha bhalio bhamfu bhanu abhabhilikilwa bha mungu yakabhee nolo mulwile nolo munsi, lwakutyo bhali “bhamungu na bhakulu bhamfu.”
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.
“Nawe kwiswe chili na Nyamuanga umwila unu ali Lata, ebhinu bhyona bhisokele kumwene, neswe chikae kumwene, na Latabhugenyi umwi Yesu Kristo, unu kumwene ebhinu bhyona bhyabheewo, na kumwene eswe chilio.”
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.
Nolo kutyo, obhumenyi bhunu bhutali munda ya bhuli munu. nawe, abhandi abhasangila okutambila ebhisusano munsiku jainyuma, nolo woli abhalya ebhilyo kuti bhisosibhwe bhiyanwa kumasusano. Emitima jebhwe jijigilwe kwokubha nimilenga.
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.
Nawe ebhilyo bhitachikomesha eswe ku Nyamuanga. Eswe chitali bhabhibhi muno chikalema okulya, nolo bhakisi muno chikalya.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
Nawe mubhe nobhwitegelesha ati obhwiyaganyulo bhwemwe bhutaja kubha chikujulo kuunu ali mulenga mulikisha.
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?
Ebu iganilishati omunu akulola, awe unu uli no bhwenge, nulya ebhilyo mwi yekalu lya masusano. Omutima gwo munu oyo gutakulamula ona alye ebhinu bhinu bhisosibhwe bhiyanwa bhya masusano?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
Kulwejo ingulu yo bhumenyi bhwao bhwe chimali ingulu yo bhwambilo bhwe bhisusano, mulawasu na muyala wanyu unu ali mulenga, unu ona Kristo afuye ingulu yae, kasimagisibhwa.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Kulwejo, ukamenya ebhibhibhi ingulu yo mumula wanyu na bhayala bhanyu no kujijimya emitima jebhwe jinu jili milenga, omukola ebhibhibhi ingulu ya Kristo.
13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble. (aiōn g165)
Kulwejo, bhikabha ebhilyo nibhikola okwikujula kwa bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, ntakulya nyama kata, koleleki ntaja kumukola omula wasu no muyala wasu okugwa. (aiōn g165)
