1 Corinthians 8
1 Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols: we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but charity builds up.
Vulevule ifyakhulya ifivahuminche isadaka ukhuva khikhwani: Tulumanyile ukhuta “Ufwe twivoni tulinuluhala.” Uluhala luleta ulwivono, hange ulugano lunchenga.
2 But if anyone considers himself to know anything, he does not yet know in the way that he ought to know.
Ingave umunu uvavenchage ita akhimanyile mkhinu ikyavenchage salumanyile umuyunogiwa ukhu lumanya.
3 For if anyone loves God, he is known by him.
Ulwa khuva yingave umunu umo aganile nukhuvagana nu khugana u Nguluve umunu uyu vamanyile na vope.
4 But as to the foods that are immolated to idols, we know that an idol in the world is nothing, and that no one is God, except One.
Lino khumbombo iyakhulya ifyakhula ifi va huminche isadakha ni ikhikhwani: twalumanyile khuta “Khikhwani syokhinu mukhilunga ikhi.” Ulwakhuva asikhuli uNguluve nu vyaliyumu.”
5 For although there are things that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (if one even considers there to be many gods and many lords)
Ulwa khuva avingi avilangiwe khuminguluve igyanekhelo khukhyanya na mukhilunga, ndavuvalivo “avanguluve avatwa vavingi.”
6 yet we know that there is only one God, the Father, from whom all things are, and in whom we are, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and by whom we are.
“Ingave khulyufwe khwale uNguluve yumo uvita vidada, veto vyoni fihumile khumwene nufwe tutama khumwene, nutwa u Yesu uKlisite ulwa khuva ifinu fipeliwe nu mwene ukhuhuma khumwene pwale na yufwe putule.
7 But knowledge is not in everyone. For some persons, even now, with consent to an idol, eat what has been sacrificed to an idol. And their conscience, being infirm, becomes polluted.
Lino uvumanyi uwa, wasikhuli mugati mwavimunu. Ulwakhuva avange vikhihanja ulwisayo ulwa fikhwani ukhuhuma khatale, lino vilya ivyakhulya ifyo ukhuta khinukhekhi ikhihuminche ifyavupe ni khikhwani. Amasago ga munu uyu giva sagidihine nave ukhuta alye amasago aga ujaji nje nu vujilamakha.
8 Yet food does not commend us to God. For if we eat, we will not have more, and if we do not eat, we will not have less.
Ulwakhuva ikhyakulyi sakhikhavonekhe ukhuta kya Nguluve. Ufwe twale vavivi lweli ukhuta tulekhe ukhulya, nu vunonu woni vutulile.
9 But be careful not to let your liberty become a cause of sin to those who are weak.
Muvenchage nu luhala ulwa khuva uvugatalufu wito vulekhe ukhuva vugatancho nu vupepe khulwidikho.
10 For if anyone sees someone with knowledge sitting down to eat in idolatry, will not his own conscience, being infirm, be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols?
Iga usage ukhuta umunu uyu avonikhe, nuve viwale, nuve viwale nu vumanyi, wilya ikhya khuliya nu khuhekhela ikhikhwani. Amasago genyo umunu uyu sagikhiwidikhila vulevule nu mwene ukhulya ifinu ifihumile khunekhelo ne khikhwani.
11 And should an infirm brother perish by your knowledge, even though Christ died for him?
Ulwa khuva uvumanyile uwayilweli wakho ukhuhuma khuvutengulelo uwa khikhwani, udimi nu ng'inja vakho upepe, uva Klisite afwule ukhuyancha ikhilunga.
12 So when you sin in this way against the brothers, and you harm their weakened conscience, then you sin against Christ.
Upuvuvomba imbivi nu ng'anchovo nu khulema ncha amasago gakho nu vupepe numbula u Klisite.
