1 Korin 8
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Krang bokhaih hmuen pongah loe hae tiah ka poek, aicae mah panoekhaih a tawnh o boih, tiah a panoek o. Panoekhaih mah kami to amoeksak, toe amlunghaih mah loe kami to qoengsak.
1Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
2Mi kawbaktih doeh ka panoek boeh, tiah poekhaih tawn kami loe, panoek han koi hmuen to panoek ai vop.
2And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3Toe Sithaw palung kami loe, Sithaw mah anih to panoek.
3But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4Krangbokhaih moi caakhaih pongah loe hae tiah oh, Long nuiah krangbokhaih loe tidoeh na ai ni, Sithaw maeto khue ni oh, kalah Sithaw roe om ai, tito a panoek o.
4As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
5Van nuiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe long nuiah maw sithawnawk, tiah kawk ih (pop parai sithawnawk hoi angraengnawk to oh o),
5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6toe aicae hanah loe Ampa, Sithaw maeto khue ni oh, Anih khae hoiah ni hmuennawk boih to tacawt, aicae loe Anih ah a oh o; Angraeng maeto khue ni oh, Anih loe Jesu Kri ni, Anih rang hoiah hmuennawk boih to oh, aicae loe Anih rang hoiah ni a hing o.
6But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7To panoekhaih to kami boih mah tawn ai: thoemto kaminawk loe krangbokhaih palungthin tawnh o pongah, vaihi khoek to angbawnhaih moi caak o naah, krangbokhaih moi caak baktiah ni a caak o vop, nihcae loe kasae kahoih panoekhaih bangah thazok o pongah, to tiah moi caakhaih mah, nihcae to amhnongsak.
7Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
8Toe caaknaek mah Sithaw khae anghnaisak ai: caa ai cadoeh sae aep ai, caak aep to mah hoih kuehaih om ai.
8But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9Toe acoe oh, to tih ai nahaeloe na koeh baktiah caakhaih mah thazok kaminawk to amtimsak moeng tih.
9But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10Panoekhaih tawn kami to krangbokhaih tempul thungah buhcaak han anghnut naah, kami maeto mah anih to hnu nahaeloe, panoekhaih bangah thazok kami to krangbokhaih buhcaaksak hanah thapaek baktiah om mak ai maw?
10For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
11Kri mah hinghaih paek ih thazok nawkamya to, na panoekhaih mah amrosak tih.
11And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12Nawkamya to na zae o sak moe, kasae kahoih panoekhaih bangah thazok nawkamya to nganbawh kana na paek o pongah, Kri nuiah zaehaih sah kami ah ni na oh o.
12But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13To pongah, caaknaek mah nawkamya to zaesak nahaeloe, nawkamya to ka zaesak moeng han ai ah, long oh nathung moi to ka caa mak ai.
13Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
