1 Corinthians 8
1 To speake of thinges dedicate vnto ydols we are sure that we all have knowledge. knowledge maketh a man swell: bnt love edifieth.
Asɛm a ɛfa nnuane a wɔde ma ahoni ho nso nie: Ɛyɛ nokorɛ pefee sɛ, “Yɛn nyinaa wɔ nimdeɛ.” Nanso, saa nimdeɛ no ma onipa yɛ ahantan; ɔdɔ deɛ, ɛma nkɔsoɔ.
2 If eny man thinke that he knoweth eny thinge he knoweth nothynge yet as he ought to knowe.
Onipa a ɔgye ne ho di sɛ ɔnim biribi no nnim sɛdeɛ anka ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhunu.
3 But yf eny man love god the same is knowen of him.
Nanso, onipa a ɔdɔ Onyankopɔn no, Onyankopɔn nim no.
4 To speake of meate dedicat vnto ydols we are sure that ther is none ydoll in the worlde and that ther is none other god but one.
Enti, nnuane a wɔde ma ahoni a wɔdi no, yɛnim sɛ ohoni wɔ hɔ ma biribi a ɛnte ase. Yɛnim sɛ Onyankopɔn baako pɛ na ɔwɔ hɔ.
5 And though ther be yt are called goddes whether in heven other in erth (as ther be goddes many and lordes many)
Nneɛma bebree wɔ soro ne asase so a yɛfrɛ wɔn anyame ne awuranom, nanso wɔn mu biara nyɛ anyame anaasɛ awuranom.
6 yet vnto vs is there but one god which is the father of whom are all thinges and we in him: and one lorde Iesus Christ by whom are all thinges and we by him.
Yɛwɔ Onyame baako pɛ a ɔyɛ Agya. Ɔno na ɔbɔɔ adeɛ nyinaa, na yɛte ase ma no. Yesu Kristo ne yɛn Awurade a Agya no nam ne so yɛɛ adeɛ nyinaa, na ɔmaa yɛn nkwa.
7 But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that ther is an ydoll vntyll this houre and eate as of a thinge offered vnto ye ydole and so their consciences beynge yet weake are defyled.
Nanso, ɛnyɛ obiara na ɔnim saa nokwasɛm yi. Nnipa bi de wɔn ho ama ahoni no ara kɔsi sɛ, sɛ wɔdi saa nnuane no a, wɔnim pefee sɛ ohoni aduane na wɔredi. Esiane wɔn ahonim a ɛyɛ mmerɛ enti, wɔgye di nso sɛ aduane no gu wɔn ho fi.
8 Meate maketh vs not acceptable to god. Nether yf we eate are we ye better. Nether yf we eate not are we the worsse.
Ɛnyɛ aduane a yɛdie no na ɛtwe yɛn bɛn Onyankopɔn. Sɛ yɛanni saa aduane no a, yɛntɔ sin, ɛnna sɛ yɛdi nso a, yɛn mmoro so.
9 But take hede that youre libertie cause not ye weake to faule.
Monhwɛ yie na moamma mo ahofadie no antwetwe wɔn a wɔyɛ mmerɛ wɔ gyidie mu no ankɔ bɔne mu.
10 For yf some man se ye which hast knowledge sit at meate in the ydoles teple shall not the conscience of hym which is weake be boldened to eate those thinges which are offered vnto ye ydole?
Sɛ ɛba sɛ obi a nʼahonim yɛ mmerɛ wɔ saa asɛm yi mu hunu sɛ wo a wowɔ “nimdeɛ” redidi wɔ ohoni dan mu a, ɛrenhyɛ no nkuran mma ɔno nso nkɔdi aduane a wɔde ama ahoni no bi anaa?
11 And so thorow thy knowledge shall ye weake brother perisshe for whom christ dyed.
Enti, saa onipa a ɔyɛ mmerɛ yi a ɔyɛ wo nua a Kristo wu maa no yi, ɛsiane wo “nimdeɛ” enti ɔbɛyera!
12 Whe ye synne so agaynst the brethren and wounde their weake consciences ye synne agaynst Christ.
Na ɛnam saa ɛkwan yi so bɛma woayɛ bɔne atia wo nuanom. Sɛ ɛba saa a, woyɛ bɔne tia Kristo nso, ɛfiri sɛ wonam wɔn adwenem mmerɛ so adaadaa wɔn.
