1 Corinthians 8 (PBK)

1Amsekgim yakom-yakom woh nani yoh hoor roh hotepe yap om, dep yirari waspahkgi o takimen peh omkgi dep yeru hapre om tepe eine.Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

2Yanap om yirari waspahkgi om peh yirari mam pah terein yeram yesep om naimap om tamin tanam om tamin are mam.The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.

3Mein yanap om rok boup Aar ahm yirari nim doh nim doh om seremin Aar ain.But the one who loves God is known by God.

4Om yinima yaap fakgir yakom-yakom om nani roh hoor hotepar nima yaap om, dep yirari nani yoh hoor yoh eine beep harin septe arkum am. Omkgi pemeryap-pemeryap ene, Ai. Alla-alah pamoram omor ekam baidma nim, pamoram omor.So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

5Omfakir andre ai dom tein Aar dom remin depero kakap tepe nim dom are yaap om tepae Aar dom pamok ram ekam bainma nim yanap yirahpsepe mam yanap re Aar biapai arkum.For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),

6Dakh om ai pamoram dep om biap-biap eine omor pamoram Aar yir dokom bekeme-bekeme ekam re waspahkgi kekaktepeh dep rap yapu temimi firip om ekamar fakgir peh ekam baidnakum fakgir omor enem pahmoram Aar ain Ai dohm pem ai dokom Yeisi Kristus ai fakgir bekem-bekem om waspahkgi om pemeryap-pemeryap ekam fakgir.yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.

7Om paskgi fakgir yanap waspahkgi eine roh yirari pere yanap ok pemeryap om yirahpsepe nani ro pem hor roh weimekgi om kayap om amse apin om yinma om harpe hotepe nani roh hor roh, peh om paskgi om yanapom epeahm enekem kakup eine yirahpsepe ai aro.But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

8Yinima om yirap mam ai aind depki woh Aar aro, om dep om tanam ai rare eine yinima mam oteme tein yinima mam oteme tein yinima sepeh om pasim waspahkgi om ekam enem ai Aar am fakgir.But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

9Peh hapyose ferare oitomam fakgir epeahm or akgi rare eine dakh oitom mam otome waspahkgi om ekam ai Aar am peh yeptepe eine ai ain.Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

10Yanap berein akhan saiyapin om warokom anam pemeryap-pemeryap pash raupein, om warokom anam outom eine epeahm anamkgi hamtar ferare eine akhan automam fakgir warohm anam om fakgir tamoro yanap pem peh hotepe yap yinima woh hoor ro tein nani roh tein?For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?

11Omkgi epeahm kap tein hapte anamkgi yanap mein outomam nim om yue yanmapu anam Yeisi am nahdnou fakgi.So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.

12Omkgi yapsane anamkgi yue yanmapu anam om yirahpsepe nim om epeahm anam partetepe aka outomam me fakgir omkgi aka yapsandnero yepe fakgir,By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

13Omkgi om hapiri yue yanmapu anampis ripapsepe nim umis biraite dakh yakom hapiri eine dakh yapuh temimi bikarap om dakh tanam ai tein hope hapiri tein omor ferare toh.Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.
