1Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
1Ɣef wayen yeɛnan aksum n iseflawen i zellun i ssadaț, ț-țideț nesɛa akk tamusni, d acu kan tamusni tețțawi-d zzux i wemdan ma d leḥmala tesnernay deg-nneɣ laman ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi.
2But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
2Win i gɣilen yessen kra, urɛad yessin akken i glaq ad yissin.
3But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
3Meɛna win iḥemmlen Sidi Ṛebbi, Sidi Ṛebbi yessen-it.
4Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
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.
5For though there are things that are called “gods,” whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many “gods” and many “lords”;
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)
6yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
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.
7However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
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.
8But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
8Mačči d ayen yețmaččan ara ɣ-iqeṛṛben ɣer Ṛebbi. Ma nečča ur nerbiḥ acemma, m'ur nečči ara, ur aɣ-iṛuḥ wacemma.
9But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
9Ihi, ɛasset iman-nwen, ɣuṛ-wat tilelli-agi i tesɛam aț-țili d ugur n uɣelluy i wid ur neǧhid ara di liman.
10For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
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 ?
11And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
11S wakka ihi, gma-k-agi ur neǧhid ara di liman, i ɣef yemmut Lmasiḥ , ɣef ddemma n tmusni-nni inek i geɣli.
12Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
12Imi tețțawim ddnub ɣef watmaten-nwen, tessexṛabem neyya-nsen, tdenbem ɣer Lmasiḥ.
13Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.
13Ihi ma yella ayen ara ččeɣ izmer ad isseɣli gma di ddnub, ur țțuɣaleɣ ara maḍi ad ččeɣ lmakla-nni iwakken ur iɣelli ara.
