Prima lettera ai Corinzi (1 كورنثوس) 8

SMITH VAN DYKE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 واما من جهة ما ذبح للاوثان فنعلم ان لجميعنا علما. العلم ينفخ ولكن المحبة تبني.	1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
2 فان كان احد يظن انه يعرف شيئا فانه لم يعرف شيئا بعد كما يجب ان يعرف.	2 And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
3 ولكن ان كان احد يحب الله فهذا معروف عنده.	3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4 فمن جهة اكل ما ذبح للاوثان نعلم ان ليس وثن في العالم وان ليس اله آخر الا واحدا.	4 As 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.
5 لانه وان وجد ما يسمى آلهة سواء كان في السماء او على الارض كما يوجد آلهة كثيرون وارباب كثيرون.	5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 لكن لنا اله واحد الآب الذي منه جميع الاشياء ونحن له. ورب واحد يسوع المسيح الذي به جميع الاشياء ونحن به.	6 But 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.
7 ولكن ليس العلم في الجميع. بل اناس بالضمير نحو الوثن الى الآن ياكلون كانه مما ذبح لوثن. فضميرهم اذ هو ضعيف يتنجس.	7 Howbeit 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.
8 ولكن الطعام لا يقدمنا الى الله. لاننا ان اكلنا لا نزيد وان لم ناكل لا ننقص.	8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 ولكن انظروا لئلا يصير سلطانكم هذا معثرة للضعفاء.	9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 لانه ان رآك احد يا من له علم متكئا في هيكل وثن أفلا يتقوى ضميره اذ هو ضعيف حتى يأكل ما ذبح للاوثان	10 For 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;
11 فيهلك بسبب علمك الاخ الضعيف الذي مات المسيح من اجله.	11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
12 وهكذا اذ تخطئون الى الاخوة وتجرحون ضميرهم الضعيف تخطئون الى المسيح.	12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13 لذلك ان كان طعام يعثر اخي فلن آكل لحما الى الابد لئلا اعثر اخي	13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
