Men Korint I 8
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1A kitail ajaer duen mairow on ani mal, pwe kitail karoj me lolekow. A lolekow eta kin kaaklapalapiela, a limpok kin kamauiela. wiaw. in. iu
1Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2A ma amen aklapalapaki a lolekon, nan a jota non dedeki duen me itar on en aja.
2The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
3A ma amen pok on Kot, nan Kot me mani i.
3But the one who loves God is known by God.
4A kitail dedekier duen mana uduk en mairon on ani mal akan, pwe ani mal amen jota katepa nin jappa, o jota amen Kot, pwe I me ta men.
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.
5Pwe ma akai mia, me adaneki kot, me kin mimi nanlaw de nin jappa, pwe kot toto o monjap toto mia;
5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
6A atail Kot me ta men, me Jam, me dipijou karoj tapi jan re a, o me kitail wiaui on. O atail Kaun me ta men: Iejuj Krijtuj, me wiadar meakaroj, o me kitail pil wiaui kidar i.
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.
7A kaidin karoj me aja mepukat, pwe akai mia, me lamelame, me ani mal meakot, ap kankan uduk en mairon on ani mal, o iei injen luet arail kin jamin kila.
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.
8A kijin mana jota kin jauaja kitail ren Kot. Ma kitail jota pan mana, kitail jota pan jued kila, a ma kitail pan mana, kitail jota pan mau kila.
8But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
9A kalaka komail, pwe omail jaladokalar ender kadipikelekel on me luet akan!
9Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
10Pwe ma koe, me aja tiak, ap manamana nan im en ani mal o, a me luet amen pan kilan om manamana, ap aima kida nan injen a, ap ian manamana mairon en ani mal akan,
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?
11Iduen ri atail luet amen, me Krijtuj mata kilar, pan mekila om jaladok.
11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
12A ma iduen omail dip ion ri atail akan, me kin kawela injen luet arail, nan komail kin wia dip ion Krijtuj.
12By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
13Ari ma kijin mana kamakar ri ai, i jolar pan mana uduk kokolata, pwe i de kamakar ri ai.
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.
