1 Ukorintiyawa 8
1 Nene ubelle nille imon na ina bọ bara incil, tiyiru nani, “vat bite dinin yiru” uyinnu din dak nin ghatinu liti, usu din ke imon.
Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
2 Asa umon din kpilizu ame yiru imoimon, unit une nsa yinnu nafo udu ayinin ba.
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 Adin umon dinin su Kutellẹ, Kutellẹ wang yirughe.
But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4 Kitene in li nimonli ile na ina nakpa incil: arike yiru “incil nanya yii ulele na imonari ba” tutung, “na nkon Kutellẹ duku ba kurumari.”
As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
5 Vat nin nani, amon duku alle na idin sunani atellẹ nanya kitene kani sa inyii, nafo na atellẹ nan cinilari dukun gbardang.”
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, ( as there be gods many, and lords many, )
6 Vat nani kiti bitẹ tidi nin Kutellẹ kurum Ncif bit unuzu kiti mere vat nimon, kiti mere ti sosin, nin Cikilari Yisa Kristi warum. kiti mere imon duku nin kit mere arik sosin.”
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 Vat nani, na ulẹ uyire koghari dimunba. Amon na di incil, inug leo imonli ilenge na iwa nakpa incil, nibinai mine wa ti nanza usali likara.
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8 Na bara imonliari ba ti iyiru nari udu kiti Kutellẹ ba. Na ti nana ba tiwa din woru na ti leo ba, sa tiwa so sa ulẹ ukatin nani.
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 Nin nani sun seig, na u shutu mine nwaso umon ule na adinin nagang nanya yinnu sa uyenu ba, imon ndiu.
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 Bara umon wa yene fi, ule na adinin yiru, udi nli nimonli kutyin incil. Na nibinai minere nin diru nakare ba ni ani agang nli nimon ile na inakpa incile ba?
For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11 Bara uyiru kidegen fe kitenen ncil, gwana fe kilime sa kishono anan diru likara na Kristi wa ku bara inug, aba wullu.
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 Yinno asa uta gwanafine kilime sa kishono unanzu nibinai mine nin sali likara ukul, uta Kristi ku kulapi.
But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
