1Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
1 Sohõ, hayey kaŋ i ga sarga tooru se ciine ra, ngey neeya: Iri ga bay kaŋ iri boro kulu gonda bayray. Bayray binde ga kande boŋbeeray, amma baakasinay ga jina-koyyaŋ te.
2And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
2 Da boro fo ga tammahã nga ga hay fo bay, a man'a bay jina mate kaŋ cine a ga hima k'a bay.
3But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
3 Amma boro kaŋ ga ba Irikoy, Irikoy g'a bay.
4As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
4 Hala boro ga hima ka haŋ kaŋ i sarga tooru se ŋwa binde, to: iri ga bay kaŋ tooru manti hay fo no ndunnya ra. Irikoy kulu si no mo kala afollonka.
5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
5 Zama baa da wo kaŋ yaŋ se i ga ne de-koyyaŋ* go no, d'i go beena ra, wala ganda, mate kaŋ de-koy boobo da koy boobo go no,
6But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
6 kulu nda yaadin iri wo se Irikoy folloŋ no go no, Baaba no. Hay kulu, a do no a fun, iri mo go a se. Rabbi folloŋ mo go no, Yesu Almasihu no, kaŋ a do hay kulu bara. Iri mo, a do no iri ga funa.
7Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
7 Amma bayray woodin si boro kulu do. Boro fooyaŋ mo, zama i doona tooru hala hõ, i go ga _hamey din|_ ŋwa danga hay fo no kaŋ i sarga tooru se, hal i biney go g'i foy zama i go ga miila kaŋ ngey go ga ngey boŋ ziibandi, za kaŋ i sinda gaabi.
8But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
8 Amma ŋwaari fo si te iri se sabbu Irikoy jine. Da iri man'a ŋwa, iri si zabu. D'iri n'a ŋwa mo, iri si tonton.
9But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
9 Amma araŋ ma haggoy hal araŋ dabaro din ma si ciya taali teeyaŋ sabaabu boro kaŋ sinda gaabi se.
10For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
10 Zama nda boro fo di nin kaŋ gonda bayray, ni go ga goro ka ŋwa tooru windi ra, manti nga wo kaŋ sinda gaabi kaŋ a bina g'a foy mo, a ga yaaru no ka koy ka ŋwa haŋ kaŋ i sarga tooru se?
11And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
11 Ni bayra do mo no, nga kaŋ sinda gaabi ga halaci, nya-ize no kaŋ sabbay se Almasihu bu.
12But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
12 Waati kaŋ araŋ go ga taali te nya-izey se ya-cine, k'i biney kaŋ sinda gaabi kaŋ g'i foy maray, kulu araŋ go ga zunubi te Almasihu se nooya.
13Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
13 Yaadin gaa, da ŋwaari no g'ay nya-izo daŋ a ma taali te, ay si ham kulu ŋwa hal abada, zama ay ma s'ay nya-izo daŋ a ma taali te.
