1 Kolinitō 8
1 Pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻoku tau ʻilo, he ʻoku tau maʻu kotoa pē ʻae ʻilo. ʻOku fakafuofuolahi ʻe he ʻilo, ka ʻoku langa hake ʻe he ʻofa.
Game da abinci da ake yiwa gumakai hadaya: Mun sani cewa, “Dukanmu muna da ilimi.” Ilimi ya kan kawo takama, amma kauna tana ginawa.
2 Pea kapau ʻoku mahalo ʻe ha tangata ʻoku ne ʻilo ha meʻa, ʻoku teʻeki te ne ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku totonu ke ne ʻilo.
Idan wani yana tunanin ya san wani abu, wannan mutumin bai rigaya ya san abinda ya kamata ya sani ba.
3 Ka ʻoka ai ha taha ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻe ia.
Amma idan wani yana kaunar Allah, to ya san da wannan mutum.
4 Pea koeʻuhi ko e kai ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻoku tau ʻilo, ko e tamapua ko e meʻa noa pē ʻi māmani, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha ʻOtua, ka ko e tokotaha pe.
Game da abincin da aka yiwa gumakai hadaya: Mun san cewa, “Gunki a duniyan nan ba wani abu bane,” kuma cewa” Babu wani Allah sai guda daya.”
5 He neongo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻoku ui “ko e ngaahi ʻotua,” ʻi he langi pe ʻi he māmani, (he ʻoku ai ʻae “ʻotua” tokolahi, mo e “ʻeiki” tokolahi),
To wata kila ma a ce wadanda ake kira alloli sun kasance, ko a cikin sama ko duniya, kamar yadda akwai wadanda ake ce dasu “alloli dabam dabam a duniya ko a sama,” kamar yadda akwai “alloli da iyayengiji” da yawa.
6 Ka ʻoku taha pe ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, ko e Tamai, ʻaia ʻoku mei ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea maʻana ʻakitautolu; pea taha pe ʻae ʻEiki, ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, mo kitautolu ʻiate ia.
“Amma a wurin mu, Allah daya ne, Uban dukan duniya, daga wurinsa aka halita dukan abu, domin sa muke rayuwa, Ubangiji Yesu Almasihu daya, wanda ta wurin sa kome ya kasance, mu kuma daga wurinsa muke.”
7 Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata kotoa pē ʻae ʻilo ko ia: he ʻoku kei ai ni ʻae niʻihi ʻoku kai fākaliliʻa ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻatu ki ha tamapua, ʻo hangē ko ha moʻoni ia, pea ʻoku fakaului ai honau loto koeʻuhi ko ʻene vaivai.
Amma ba kowa ke da wannan ilimi ba. Shi ya sa tun da, wadan su na bauta wa gunki, kuma suna cin wannan abincin kamar abin da aka mika wa gunki. Lamirin su ya kazantu sabo da yana da rauni.
8 Ka ʻoku ʻikai fakaongolelei ʻakitautolu ʻe he meʻakai ki he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai te tau lelei ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku tau kai; pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau kovi ai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai te tau kai.
Amma ba abinci ke bamu tagomashi a wurin Allah ba. Ko mun ci, bamu kara karbuwan mu ba, ko ba mu ci ba, ba mu rage karbuwan mu ba.
9 Kae vakai telia naʻa ai ha meʻa ʻe hoko ai hoʻomou tauʻatāina ni ko e tūkiaʻanga kiate kinautolu ʻoku vaivai.
Amma, ka yi hatara kada 'yancin ka ya zama sanadiyar tuntuben wani mai rarraunar bangaskiya.
10 He kapau ʻe mamata ha taha kiate koe, ʻa koe “ko e poto,” ʻoku ke nofo ʻo kai ʻi he fale ʻoe tamapua, ʻikai ʻe langa hake ai ʻae loto ʻo ia ʻoku vaivai, ke ne kai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua;
Anar misali, idan wani mai rarraunar lamiri ya hango ka mai ilimi, kana cin abincin da aka mika wa gunki, ai ba ka bashi kwarin gwiwa kenan yaci abincin da aka mika wa gunki ba?
11 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo “ʻilo” ʻe ʻauha ai ho kāinga vaivai, naʻe pekia ai ʻa Kalaisi?
Sabili da ganewar ka akan yanayin gumaka, dan'uwa rarrauna wanda Yesu ya mutu domin sa ya hallaka.
12 Ka ʻi hoʻomou angahala pehē ki he kāinga, ʻo fakakafo honau loto vaivai, ko hoʻomou fai angahala ia kia Kalaisi.
Saboda haka, idan ka saba wa 'yan'uwa masu raunin a lamiri, ka yi zunubi a gaban Almasihu.
