Men Korint I 8
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English 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 concerning things 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.
2But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
3A ma amen pok on Kot, nan Kot me mani i.
3But anyone who loves God is known by him.
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.
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.
5Pwe ma akai mia, me adaneki kot, me kin mimi nanlaw de nin jappa, pwe kot toto o monjap toto mia;
5For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “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 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.
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.
7However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of an idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, 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 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.
9A kalaka komail, pwe omail jaladokalar ender kadipikelekel on me luet akan!
9But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours 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 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?
11Iduen ri atail luet amen, me Krijtuj mata kilar, pan mekila om jaladok.
11And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
12A ma iduen omail dip ion ri atail akan, me kin kawela injen luet arail, nan komail kin wia dip ion Krijtuj.
12Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, 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 food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.
