Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
1Tahae ah mueirhol buh kah a kawng te mingnah boeih n'khueh uh tila m'ming uh. Mingnah loh hoemawk cakhaw lungnah loh a hlinsai.
2But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.
2Pakhat loh bet ka ming coeng tila a poek atah a ming ham a kuek pataeng ming hlan.
3But anyone who loves God is known by him.
3Tedae pakhat loh Pathen te a lungnah atah Pathen loh anih te a ming coeng.
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.
4Mueirhol buh dongkah caak kawng dongah mueirhol tah Diklai ah a honghi ni tila m'ming uh. Amah pakhat pawt atah Pathen a tloe khaw a om moenih.
5For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in the heavens or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—
5Pathen a ti uh rhoek mah vaan ah khaw diklai ah khaw a om uh atah pathen kak neh boei kak om uh tangloeng ta.
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.
6Mamih ham tah a pa Pathen pakhat ni aka om. A cungkuem he amah lamkah tih mamih khaw amah dongah n'om uh. Te phoeiah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih pakhat bueng om tih amah lamloh a cungkuem te om. Mamih khaw anih dongah n'om uh.
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.
7Tedae hlang boeih taengah mingnah om pawh. Tedae a ngen kah khosing tah tahae duela mueirhol taengkah mueirhol buh bangla a caak uh. Te dongah amih tattloel kah mingcimnah tah a tii om.
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.
8Tedae cakok loh Pathen taengah mamih n'tueng sak moenih. N'caak uh pawt akhaw m'vawt uh tloe moenih. N'caak uh akhaw n'hoeikhang uh tloe moenih.
9But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
9Tedae, nangmih kah saithainah loh aka tattloel rhoek taengah caehkoek la a om tholh pawt ham ngaithuen uh.
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?
10Nangmih mingnah aka khueh khat khat loh mueirhol bawkim ah buh na vael te uh koinih a mingcimnah dongah tattloel la aka om loh mueirhol buh te caak ham moo mahpawt nim.
11And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
11Te dongah na mingnah loh aka tattloel te a poci sak coeng. Manuca anih ham Khrih duek van dae ta.
12Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
12Manuca rhoek taengah khaw aka tholh tih a boh dongah mingcimnah aka vawtthoek sak tah Khrih taengah na tholh.
13Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.
13Te dongah cakok loh ka manuca te a khah atah kumhal ah maeh ka ca voel mahpawh. Te daengah ni ka manuca te ka khah pawt eh.
