Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 8
1 Περὶ δὲ τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων, οἴδαμεν ὅτι πάντες γνῶσιν ἔχομεν. Ἡ γνῶσις φυσιοῖ, ἡ δὲ ἀγάπη οἰκοδομεῖ.
Kwa nneyo, ga yalya ishoshiywe mbepei ku yanamu, tumumanyi kuti uwe tubhowe tushikola lumanyio, ikabheje lumanyio lunatenda bhandu bhaipunanje, ikabhe kupingana kunakwaataganga bhandu ntima.
2 Εἰ δέ τις δοκεῖ εἰδέναι τι, οὐδέπω οὐδὲν ἔγνωκε καθὼς δεῖ γνῶναι·
Aganishiya kuti anakushimanya shindu, kwa kweli akakushimanya shoshowe malinga shaapinjikwa kumanya.
3 εἰ δέ τις ἀγαπᾷ τὸν Θεόν, οὗτος ἔγνωσται ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
Ikabheje mundu akwaapinga a Nnungu, a Nnungu bhammanyi jwene mundujo.
4 Περὶ τῆς βρώσεως οὖν τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων, οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὐδὲν εἴδωλον ἐν κόσμῳ, καὶ ὅτι οὐδεὶς Θεὸς ἕτερος εἰ μὴ εἷς.
Kwa nneyo ga yalya ishoshiywe mbepei ku yanamu, tumumanyi kuti shanamu nngabha a Nnungu bha kweli, ikabheje a Nnungu bha kweli ni bhamope.
5 Καὶ γὰρ εἴπερ εἰσὶ λεγόμενοι θεοί, εἴτε ἐν οὐρανῷ εἴτε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· ὥσπερ εἰσὶ θεοὶ πολλοί, καὶ κύριοι πολλοί·
Nkali monaga ipali ishemwa ashinnungu, pa shilambolyo eu kunnungu, na malinga shibhalinginji ashinnungu na bhakulungwanji bhabhagwinji,
6 ἀλλ᾿ ἡμῖν εἷς Θεὸς ὁ πατήρ, ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα, καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς αὐτόν· καὶ εἷς Κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, δι᾿ οὗ τὰ πάντα, καὶ ἡμεῖς δι᾿ αὐτοῦ.
ikabheje kwetu uwe, bhapali a Nnungu bhamope, Atati, bhapengenye indu yowe na kwa mashili ga bhenebho uwe tunalama. Tunakulupalila kuti bhapali Bhakulungwa bhamope a Yeshu Kilishitu pitila bhenebho a nnungu gubhapengenye indu yowe, ni bhakutupa gumi.
7 Ἀλλ᾿ οὐκ ἐν πᾶσιν ἡ γνῶσις· τινὲς δὲ τῇ συνειδήσει τοῦ εἰδώλου ἕως ἄρτι ὡς εἰδωλόθυτον ἐσθίουσι, καὶ ἡ συνείδησις αὐτῶν ἀσθενὴς οὖσα μολύνεται.
Ikabheje nngabha kila mundu anakwimanya yenei. Pabha bhapalinji bhananji bhayobhelelenje yanamu, mpaka nnaino pubhalyanganga yene yalyayo pubhaganishiyanga kuti ishishoywa mbepei ku yanamu. Pabha bhangashimilikanga mmitima jabhonji, pubhakwibhonanga bhanalebhanga.
8 Βρῶμα δὲ ἡμᾶς οὐ παρίστησι τῷ Θεῷ· οὔτε γὰρ ἐὰν φάγωμεν περισσεύομεν, οὔτε ἐὰν μὴ φάγωμεν ὑστερούμεθα.
Ikabheje shalya shikakutubhika tome na a Nnungu. Tukalye shakwa shitutubhila, na tulyaga shakwa shitujenjeshewa.
9 Βλέπετε δὲ μήπως ἡ ἐξουσία ὑμῶν αὕτη πρόσκομμα γένηται τοῖς ἀσθενοῦσιν.
Ikabheje mwiteiganje, aki jenunji jinaatendanje bhangashimilikanga nngulupai bhatendanje yambi.
10 Ἐὰν γάρ τις ἴδῃ σε τὸν ἔχοντα γνῶσιν ἐν εἰδωλείῳ κατακείμενον, οὐχὶ ἡ συνείδησις αὐτοῦ ἀσθενοῦς ὄντος οἰκοδομηθήσεται εἰς τὸ τὰ εἰδωλόθυτα ἐσθίειν;
Pabha, mundu akanabhe shimilika nngulupai, ammonaga mmwe nkwete lumanyio nnilya yene yalyayo nniekalu lya yanamu, bhuli, akatagwa ntima gwa lya indu ishoshiywe mbepei ku yanamu?
11 Καὶ ἀπολεῖται ὁ ἀσθενῶν ἀδελφὸς ἐπὶ τῇ σῇ γνώσει, δι᾿ ὃν Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν;
Kwa nneyo, nnongo nnjenu jwangashimilika nngulupaijo jubhanng'wilile a Kilishitu, shaaobhe kwa ligongo lya lumanyio lwenu.
12 Οὕτω δὲ ἁμαρτάνοντες εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφούς, καὶ τύπτοντες αὐτῶν τὴν συνείδησιν ἀσθενοῦσαν, εἰς Χριστὸν ἁμαρτάνετε.
Mwaalebhelangaga ashaalongo ajenunji nikwaulayanga mmitima jabhonji, penepo nnakwaalebhelanga a Kilishitu.
