¹But concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know, (for we all have knowledge: knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

²Win i gɣilen yessen kra, urɛad yessin akken i glaq ad yissin.

²If any one think he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know [it].

³Meɛna win iḥemmlen Sidi Ṛebbi, Sidi Ṛebbi yessen-it.

³But if any one love God, *he* is known of him):

⁴Ɣef wayen yeɛnan učči n weksum n iseflawen immezlen i lmeṣnuɛat, neẓra belli lmeṣnuɛat-agi ț-țikellax di ddunit axaṭer anagar yiwen n Ṛebbi i gellan.

⁴-- concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in [the] world, and that there [is] no other God save one.

⁵Ɣas qqaṛen aṭas n iṛebbiten i gellan ama deg igenni ama di lqaɛa, ( axaṭer ț-țideț ! Ɣuṛ-sen aṭas n iṛebbiten akk-d ssadaț i gellan)

⁵For and if indeed there are [those] called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many,)

⁶meɛna ɣuṛ-nneɣ nukni yiwen kan n Ṛebbi i gellan, d baba-tneɣ Ṛebbi i d-ixelqen kullec, ula d nukni d ayla-s. Anagar yiwen n Ssid i gellan : d Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, yis i d-yella kullec, yis daɣen i nedder ula d nukni.

⁶yet to us [there is] one God, the Father, of whom all things, and *we* for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and *we* by him.

⁷Aṭas ur nessin ara tideț-agi. Kra deg-sen i guɣen tannumi tețțen asfel n ssadaț, tura m'ara tețțen aksum-nni mazal ḥesben-t belli ț-țideț d asfel i ssadaț, neyya-nsen tenquqel, ḥussen am akken denben.

⁷But knowledge [is] not in all: but some, with conscience of the idol, until now eat as of a thing sacrificed to idols; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

⁸Mačči d ayen yețmaččan ara ɣ-iqeṛṛben ɣer Ṛebbi. Ma nečča ur nerbiḥ acemma, m'ur nečči ara, ur aɣ-iṛuḥ wacemma.

⁸But meat does not commend us to God; neither if we should not eat do we come short; nor if we should eat have we an advantage.

⁹Ihi, ɛasset iman-nwen, ɣuṛ-wat tilelli-agi i tesɛam aț-țili d ugur n uɣelluy i wid ur neǧhid ara di liman.

⁹But see lest anywise this your right [to eat] itself be a stumbling-block to the weak.

¹⁰Axaṭer ma iwala-k-id walebɛaḍ ur neǧhid ara di liman, teqqimeḍ aț-țeččeḍ di lemqam kečč yessnen, amek tebɣiḍ ur yețṛuḥu ara ula d nețța ad yečč seg iseflawen-agi yemmezlen i ssadaț ?

¹⁰For if any one see thee, who hast knowledge, sitting at table in an idol-house, shall not his conscience, he being weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to the idol?

¹¹S wakka ihi, gma-k-agi ur neǧhid ara di liman, i ɣef yemmut Lmasiḥ , ɣef ddemma n tmusni-nni inek i geɣli.

¹¹and the weak [one], the brother for whose sake Christ died, will perish through thy knowledge.

¹²Imi tețțawim ddnub ɣef watmaten-nwen, tessexṛabem neyya-nsen, tdenbem ɣer Lmasiḥ.

¹²Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

¹³Ihi ma yella ayen ara ččeɣ izmer ad isseɣli gma di ddnub, ur țțuɣaleɣ ara maḍi ad ččeɣ lmakla-nni iwakken ur iɣelli ara.

¹³Wherefore if meat be a fall-trap to my brother, I will eat no flesh for ever, that I may not be a fall-trap to my brother.
