¹Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

¹Kakaliliua-na, mpotompo'wiwi-a pongkoni' to rapopepue' hi pinotau. Makono moto-le to ni'uli': kita' to Kristen, monoto-mi nono-ta omea, ta'inca ka'uma-na ria pue' ntani' -na ngkai Alata'ala. Aga ku'uli' -kokoi: ngkai kamonoto nono-ta toe, ria to jadi' molangko nono-ra. Agina-pi-hawo ma'ahi' -ta hi doo pai' mporohoi nono doo.

²And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

²Tauna to mpo'uli': "Monoto-mi-kuna nono-ku," tapi' uma ria ahi' -na, kakoo-kono-na, ko'ia monoto mpu'u nono-na hewa to kasipato' -na.

³But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

³Aga tauna to mpu'u-mpu'u mpoka'ahi' Alata'ala, Alata'ala mpo'inca ihi' nono-na.

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.

⁴Jadi', ane to mpobelahi pongkoni' to rapopepue' hi pinotau, ni'uli' ma'ala moto takoni', apa' ta'inca moto ka'uma-na ria pue' ntani' -na ngkai Alata'ala, hawe'ea lence to rapue' hi dunia' tohe'i, boa' omea-wadi.

⁵For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

⁵Wori' nyala moto to rapue' manusia', to rahanga' pue' pai' karampua, ba to hi langi' ba to hi wongko dunia'.

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.

⁶Aga hi kita' -tana, muntu' hadua Alata'ala, Hi'a-mi Tuama-ta to mpajadi' hawe'ea to ria, Hi'a-wadi toaa' katuwua' -ta. Pai' hadua wo'o-wadi Pue' -ta, Yesus Kristus, Hi'a-mi to napopale Alata'ala mpajadi' hawe'ea to ria, Hi'a to mpowai' -ta katuwua'.

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.

⁷Aga nau' -pa hewa toe, uma hawe'ea to Kristen to monoto nono-ra hewa toe. Ria-ra to mepue' hi pinotau kako'ia-ra jadi' to Kristen, pai' duu' tempo toi ane mpohilo-ra pongkoni' to rapopepue' hi pinotau, ra'uli' hi rala nono-ra: "Tetu-le pepue' hi pinotau-hana!" Jadi', ane mpokoni' mpu'u-ra pongkoni' tohe'e, hi rala nono-ra ra'epe hewa mojeko' -ra, apa' morara' -pidi nono-ra.

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.

⁸Kakoo-kono-na, pongkoni' uma mpokamohu' -ta hi Alata'ala ba mpogaa' -ta ngkai Alata'ala. Ane takoni', uma-ta morasi'. Ane uma takoni', uma wo'o-ta morugi.

⁹But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

⁹Aga pelompehi mpu'u ompi'. Nau' ma'ala moto-ta mpokoni' pongkoni' toe apa' monoto-mi nono-tae, aga neo' tabawai doo-ta to ko'ia moroho pepangala' -na mpokoni', alaa-na nakoni' pai' napojeko'.

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;

¹⁰Patuju-ku hewa tohe'i: Rapa' -na ria-ta to mpo'uli' monoto-mi nono-ta, ta'uli' uma moapa ngkoni' pongkoni' to rapopepue' hi pinotau. Jadi', hilou mpu'u-ta ngkoni' hi rala tomi pepuea' hi pinotau. Pai' ria hadua doo-ta mpohilo-ta ngkoni' hi ree. Hiaa' bo doo-ta tohe'ei, morara' -pidi nono-na ba ma'ala takoni' ba uma-di. Jadi', apa' nahilo-ta tohe'e-e, daho' lau wo'o-imi-hawo mpokoni' pongkoni' tetu.

¹¹And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

¹¹Ka'omea-na, ngkai kanoto nono-ta tetu-e, tapanawu' lau-imi ompi' -ta to morara' -pidi nono-na toei, apa' tabawai-i mpobabehi to na'epe uma wali nababehi. Hiaa' tauna tetu, ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta to natolo' Kristus hante kamate-na.

¹²But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

¹²Jadi', kehi-ta tetu ompi' taposala', apa' tapakasusa' nono-na ompi' -ta to morara' -pidi nono-na. Pai' meliu ngkai toe, kehi-ta tetu taposala' hi poncilo Kristus.

¹³Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

¹³Toe pai' ku'uli' -kokoi: ane rapa' -na ngkai kehi-ku mpokoni' bau' ba napa-napa pai' alaa-na monawu' ompi' -ku, bate uma-apa ngkoni' bau' toe duu' kahae tuwu' -ku. Nee-neo' mpai' ngkai aku' -kuna pai' monawu' ompi' -ku toei.
