1Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
1MA na mea i kaumahaia na na kii, ua ike no kakou, ua naauao no kakou a pau. He mea hookiekie ka naauao: o ke aloha nae ka mea e nui ai ka ikaika.
2The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
2Ina i manao kekahi, ua akamai ia, aole ia e akamai iki e like me ke akamai e pono ai oia.
3But the one who loves God is known by God.
3Aka, ina i aloha aku kekahi i ke Akua, ua ikea mai oia e ia.
4So 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.
4Ma ka ai ana i na mea i kaumahaia na na kii, ua ike no kakou, he mea ole ke kii, ma ka honua nei, aole hoi he Akua e ae, hookahi wale no.
5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
5He mea no nae i kapaia, he Akua, ma ka lani paha, ma ka hopua paha, no ka mea, ua nui na'kua, a ua nui na haku:
6yet 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.
6Aka, ia kakou, hookahi no Akua, o ka Makua, a nana mai na mea a pau, a ia ia hoi kakou nei: hookaihi no Haku, o Iesu Kristo, ma ona la na mea a pau, a ma ona la hoi kakou.
7But 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.
7Aka, aole i na kanaka a pau keia ike; no ka mea, i keia wa no, me ka manao i na kii, ai no kekahi poe me he mea la i mohaiia na ke kii; a no ka nawaliwali o ko lakou naau, ua haumia.
8But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
8Aole hoi kakou e aponoia e ke Akua no ka ai; no ka mea, ina e ai kakou, aole e oi ko kakou maikai ilaila; a i ai ole kakou, aole e oi ko kakou ino ilaila.
9Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
9E malama hoi oukou, o lilo auanei keia pono o oukou, i mea e hihia ai, no ka poe hawawa.
10For 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?
10Ina i ike mai kekahi ia oe, i ka mea naauao, e noho ana e ai iloko o ka heiau o ke kii, aole anei e eueu ka manao o ke kanaka hawawa, e ai i na mea i mohaiia na na kii?
11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
11Alaila, no kou naauao ana, e make no ka hoahanau hawawa, nona i make ai o Kristo.
12By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
12A i ka oukou hana hewa ana pela i na hoahanau, a i ko oukou hoeha ana i ko lakou naau nawaliwali, ua hana hewa oukou ia Kristo.
13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.
13No ia mea, ina o ka io ka mea e hewa ai ko'u hoahanau, ma keia hope aku, aole loa au e ai hou i ka io, o hoolilo au i ko'u hoahanau i ka hewa.
