1Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
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.
2But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know 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 anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
3 Amma boro kaŋ ga ba Irikoy, Irikoy g'a bay.
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.
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 are things that are called “gods,” whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many “gods” and many “lords”;
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,
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
9 Amma araŋ ma haggoy hal araŋ dabaro din ma si ciya taali teeyaŋ sabaabu boro kaŋ sinda gaabi se.
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?
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 your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
11 Ni bayra do mo no, nga kaŋ sinda gaabi ga halaci, nya-ize no kaŋ sabbay se Almasihu bu.
12Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you 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.
13Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.
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.
