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 puffeth up, but love edifieth.
2 Asa umon din kpilizu ame yiru imoimon, unit une nsa yinnu nafo udu ayinin ba.
If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know;
3 Adin umon dinin su Kutellẹ, Kutellẹ wang yirughe.
but if any man loveth 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.”
Concerning therefore 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 be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are 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.”
yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we 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.
Howbeit in all men there is not that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, 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 meat will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, 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 take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock 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 a man see thee which hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not 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.
For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
12 Yinno asa uta gwanafine kilime sa kishono unanzu nibinai mine nin sali likara ukul, uta Kristi ku kulapi.
And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ.
