1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Houjik lai murtida katluraba potki maramda nakhoina hanglakpa wahanggi maramda: Hoi, eikhoi pumnamakki khangba lei haiba eikhoina khang-i. Adubu khangbana chaothokhalli, adubu nungsibana semgatli.
2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
Karigumba khara khang-i haina khanjaba makhoising aduna makhoina khangpham thokpa adu youna tasengna khangdri.
3 But anyone who loves God is known by him.
Adubu Tengban Mapubu nungsijaba mahak adubudi Tengban Mapuna khangbi.
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.
Adu oirabadi lai murtida katluraba pot chabagi matangdadi: Lai murtidi tasengna taibangpanda leiba natte amasung Tengban Mapu amakhak lei haibasi eikhoina khang-i.
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”—
Atiya amadi malem asida laini haina kounabasing leirabasu aduga asigumba laising amadi mapusing yamna leirabasu,
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.
Eikhoigidi Tengban Mapu ama haibadi Ipa adu lei. Pot pumnamakpu sembiba mapu adu mahakni aduga eikhoina mahakkidamak lei. Aduga Ibungo amakhak lei, mahakti Jisu Christtani. Mahakki mapanna pot pumnamak sembi aduga mahakki mapanna eikhoina hingbani.
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.
Adubu mi khudingmakna achumba asi khangde. Mi kharadi lai murti latlakpagi heinabi leirakpana houjik phaoba makhoina lai murtida katluraba pot chaba matamda lai murtida katluraba pot chabagum khalli. Aduga makhoigi achum aran khangba pukning adu sonbagi maramna makhoibu chinjak aduna maanghalle haina phaojei.
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.
Adumakpu chinjakna eikhoiga Tengban Mapuga leinaba mari adu phagat-hanba natte. Eikhoina chadraga karisu mangjaba leite aduga charaga tongjaba karisu leite.
9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
Adumakpu, nakhoigi naning tamba adu pangthokpada thajaba sonbasing adubu papta tahandanaba cheksillu.
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?
Maramdi lousing adu leiriba nahakna lai murtigi sangda chaba adu achum aran khangnaba pukning sonba mahakna urabadi mahakpu nahakna lai murtida katpa pot chananaba thougatpa oiroidra?
11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
Adu oirabadi nahakki lousing adugi maramna mahakkidamak Christtana sibikhiba nahakki asonba nachin nanao adubu manghalloidra?
12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
Aduga matou asumna nahakna nachin nanaosinggi mathakta pap touraba amadi makhoigi achum aran khangnaba pukning adubu sokhallabadi nahakna Christtagi maiyokta pap tou-i.
