1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Inge, ke mwe mongo ma mwet uh kisakunang nu ke ma sruloala. Pwaye kas se ma mwet uh fahk mu, “Kut nukewa oasr etauk lasr.” Tusruktu, etauk mwe akfulatye insien mwet uh, a lungse mwe musaeak mwet uh.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
Kutena mwet su nunku mu el etu sie ma, pwayena lah el soenna sun etu ma fal elan etu kac.
3 But anyone who loves God is known by him.
Tusruktu mwet se su lungse God, God El etal.
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.
Ouinge, ke mwe mongo ma itukyang nu ke ma sruloala: kut etu lah sie ma sruloala tia ma pwaye ac wangin moul la. Kut etu lah oasr God sefanna.
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”—
Finne oasr ma pangpang “god uh,” in kusrao ku fin faclu, ac finne pukanten kain “god” ac “leum” ingan,
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.
a nu sesr oasr God sefanna, Papa, su orala ma nukewa ac kacl kut moul. Ac oasr Leum sefanna, Jesus Christ, ke su ma nukewa orekla ac ke su kut moul.
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.
Tusruktu tia mwet nukewa etu ma inge. Kutu mwet uh arulana pahla ke ma sruloala, pwanang nwe misenge elos fin kang kain in mongo inge elos srakna nunku kac mu ma nun ma sruloala. Ke sripen lulalfongi lalos munas, elos nunku mu mongo inge ac akfohkfokyalos.
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.
Finne fuka, mwe mongo uh tia ku in akfototoye kut nu sin God. Kut fin tia kang kut tia kolukla kac; ku kut finne kang, kut tia pac wola kac.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
Tusruktu kowos in karinganang tuh sukosok lowos ke ma kowos oru inge in tia aktukulkulyelos su munas in lulalfongi lalos.
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?
Fin pa mwet se su nunak la munas in ouiya se inge el liye kom su pangpang oasr “etauk” yoro, ke kom mongo in tempul lun ma sruloala, ya ouiya se inge ac tia akkeyal elan kang pac mwe mongo ma kisayang nu ke ma sruloala?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
Na ke sripen “etauk” lom an, mwet se su munas lulalfongi la el kunausyukla — a el inge mwet Christian se wiom su Christ el misa kacl.
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Ac in lumah se inge, kowos orekma koluk lain Christ ke kowos oru ma koluk lain mwet Christian wiowos, ac sifil akmunasye nunak in elos su munas.
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)
Ke ma inge, mwe mongo uh fin aktukulkulye mwet wiuk in lulalfongi, nga fah tia sifilpa mongo ikwa, tuh nga in tia pwanang ma wiuk in putatyang nu in ma koluk. (aiōn g165)
