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 concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 Asa umon din kpilizu ame yiru imoimon, unit une nsa yinnu nafo udu ayinin ba.
But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
3 Adin umon dinin su Kutellẹ, Kutellẹ wang yirughe.
But if anyone loves God, the same is known by 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.”
Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no 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 are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"
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.”
yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus (the) Messiah, through whom are all things, and we live through 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.
However, not all have this knowledge. But some, being so accustomed to idols until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to 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 food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
9 Nin nani sun seig, na u shutu mine nwaso umon ule na adinin nagang nanya yinnu sa uyenu ba, imon ndiu.
But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the 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 someone 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?
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 your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whom the Messiah died.
12 Yinno asa uta gwanafine kilime sa kishono unanzu nibinai mine nin sali likara ukul, uta Kristi ku kulapi.
Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Messiah.
