1 I want to write about food that has been given as a gift in worship to a false god. We all know something about it. Knowing about it makes one feel important. But love makes one strong.

Xagga waxyaalaha sanamyada loo sadqeeyo, waxaynu garanaynaa inaynu dhammaan aqoon u wada leennahay. Aqoontu way kibrisaa, jacaylkuse wax buu dhisaa.

2 T he person who thinks he knows all the answers still has a lot to learn.

Qof uuni hadduu u malaynayo inuu wax garanayo, weli garan maayo siduu u garan lahaa.

3 B ut if he loves God, he is known by God also.

Laakiin qof uuni hadduu Ilaah jecel yahay, Ilaah baa garanaya isaga.

4 W hat about food that has been given as a gift to a false god in worship? Is it right? We know that a false god is not a god at all. There is only one God! There is no other.

Haddaba xagga cunidda waxyaalaha sanamyada loo sadqeeyo, waxaynu garanaynaa inuusan sanam waxba dunida ka ahayn oo aan Ilaah jirin mid mooyaane.

5 M en have thought there are many such gods and lords in the sky and on the earth.

Waayo, in kastoo ay samada iyo dhulkaba jiraan wax ilaahyo lagu sheego, sidii iyadoo ilaahyo badan iyo sayidyo badni jiraan,

6 B ut we know there is only one God. He is the Father. All things are from Him. He made us for Himself. There is one Lord. He is Jesus Christ. He made all things. He keeps us alive.

laakiin innagu waxaynu leennahay Ilaah keliya oo Aabbaha ah, kan wax waluba ka yimaadaan oo innagana isagaa ina leh, iyo Sayid keliya oo Ciise Masiix ah, kan wax waluba ku ahaadeen oo innaguna isagaynu ku ahaannay. Walaalka Itaalka Daran

7 N ot all men know this. They have given food as a gift in worship to a god as if the god were alive. Some men have done this all their lives. If they eat such food, their hearts tell them it is wrong.

Laakiin dad oo dhammu aqoontaas ma wada laha, laakiin qaar sanamka tan iyo hadda u bartay, waxay u qabaan waxay cunaan sidii wax sanam loo sadqeeyo, qalbigooda itaalka daranina wuu nijaasoobay.

8 F ood will not bring us near to God. We are no worse if we do not eat it, or we are no better if we eat it.

Cuntadu ina hor joojin mayso Ilaah. Haddaynan cunin waxba inagama dhacaan, haddaynu cunnona waxba inooma kordhaan.

9 S ince you are free to do as you please, be careful that this does not hurt a weak Christian.

Laakiin iska dhawra si aan ikhtiyaarkiinnu wax lagu turunturoodo ugu noqon kuwa itaalka daran.

10 A Christian who is weak may see you eat food in a place where it has been given as a gift to false gods in worship. Since he sees you eat it, he will eat it also.

Haddii qof ku arko adigoo aqoonta leh oo cunto ugu fadhiya meeshii sanamyada, hadduu qalbiga ka itaal daranyahay, qalbigiisu miyaanu ku adkaanaynin inuu cuno waxa sanamyada loo sadqeeyo?

11 Y ou may make the weak Christian fall into sin by what you have done. Remember, he is a Christian brother for whom Christ died.

Waayo, waxaa aqoontaada aawadeed lumaya ka itaalka daran oo ah walaalkaagii uu Masiixu aawadiis u dhintay.

12 W hen you sin against a weak Christian by making him do what is wrong, you sin against Christ.

Markaad walaalaha sidaas ugu dembaabtaan oo aad qalbigooda itaalka daran u xumaysaan, waxaad ku dembaabtaan Masiix.

13 S o then, if eating meat makes my Christian brother trip and fall, I will never eat it again. I do not want to make my Christian brother sin.

Taa aawadeed haddii cunto walaalkay xumayso, hilib weligay ma cuni doono si aanan walaalkay u xumayn.
