1 Corinthians 8
1 Concerning now the idol-sacrifices, we know indeed all knowledge we have. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Na, mo nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko: E mohio ana tatou kei a tatou katoa te matauranga. Ko ta te matauranga he whakapupuhi; ko ta te aroha ia he waihanga.
2 If (now *k) anyone thinks (to have known *N+kO) anything, (not yet *N+kO) (no [thing] *k) (he knew *N+kO) even as it is necessary to know;
Ki te mea tetahi e matau ana ia ki tetahi mea, kahore tona matauranga kia rite noa ki to te matauranga tikanga;
3 If however anyone loves God, he has known by Him.
Ki te aroha ia tetahi ki te Atua, kua matauria tenei e ia.
4 Concerning the eating therefore of the idol-sacrifices we know that no [thing] an idol [is] in [the] world and that [there is] no God (other *k) only except one.
Na reira mo te kai i nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko, e mohio ana tatou he kore noa iho te whakapakoko i te ao, kahore hoki he atua ke, kotahi anake.
5 Even truly if indeed if indeed there are [those] named gods whether in heaven or on earth, as there are gods many and lords many;
Ahakoa hoki tera nga mea e kiia nei he atua, i te rangi ranei, i te whenua ranei; he tini nei hoki nga atua, he tini nga ariki;
6 yet to us [there is] one God the Father of whom [are] the [things] all and we ourselves for Him, and one Lord Jesus Christ through whom [are] the [things] all and we ourselves through Him.
Ki a tatou ia kotahi ano Atua, ko te Matua, i ahu mai i a ia nga mea katoa, ko tatou ki a ia; kotahi hoki Ariki, ko Ihu Karaiti, nana nei nga mea katoa, nana hoki tatou.
7 But not in all [is] this knowledge; Some now (by custom *N+KO) until now of the idol as of an idol-sacrifice eat, and the conscience of them weak being it is defiled.
Otira kahore tera matauranga i nga tangata katoa: engari tera ano etahi, i te mea kua taunga ki te whakapakoko tae mai ki naianei, e kai ana i te mea i patua ma te whakapakoko; a ka poke to ratou hinengaro ngoikore.
8 Food however us not (will commend *N+kO) to God; neither (for *ko) if not we shall eat [still] do we come short [then] nor if we shall eat (have we an advantage. *NK+o)
Ehara ra ia te kai i te mea e paingia ai tatou e te Atua: no te mea ahakoa kahore tatou e kai, e kore e heke iho to tatou pai; a ahakoa kai tatou, e kore e kake to tatou pai.
9 do be careful however lest perhaps the right of you this an occasion of stumbling may become to those (weak. *N+kO)
Engari kia tupato ki tenei wahi i tukua nei ki a koutou, kei waiho hei whakahinga mo te hunga ngoikore.
10 If for anyone shall see you who is having knowledge in an idol’s temple eating, surely the conscience of him weak being he will be encouraged the idol-sacrifices to eat?
Ki te mea hoki ka kite tetahi i a koe, i te mea mohio, e noho ana ki te aki i roto i te temepara o te whakapakoko, e kore koia e kakama ake tona hinengaro, mehemea ia he ngoikore, e kakama ake ki te kai i nga mea e patua ana ma te whakapakoko?
11 (Is destroyed *N+KO) (for *N+kO) the [one] who is being weak (through *N+kO) your knowledge, (the *no) brother for whom Christ died.
Ma tou matauranga hoki ka ngaro ai te mea ngoikore, te teina he whakaaro nei ki a ia i mate ai a te Karaiti.
12 Thus then sinning against the brothers and wounding their conscience being weak, against Christ you sin.
Na, i a koutou ka hara nei ki nga teina, ka patu nei i to ratou hinengaro ngoikore, e hara ana koutou ki a te Karaiti.
