1 Corinthians 8

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up; but charity edifieth.	1 واما من جهة ما ذبح للاوثان فنعلم ان لجميعنا علما. العلم ينفخ ولكن المحبة تبني.
2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know.	2 فان كان احد يظن انه يعرف شيئا فانه لم يعرف شيئا بعد كما يجب ان يعرف.
3 But if any any love God, the same is known by him.	3 ولكن ان كان احد يحب الله فهذا معروف عنده.
4 But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.	4 فمن جهة اكل ما ذبح للاوثان نعلم ان ليس وثن في العالم وان ليس اله آخر الا واحدا.
5 For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many, and lords many);	5 لانه وان وجد ما يسمى آلهة سواء كان في السماء او على الارض كما يوجد آلهة كثيرون وارباب كثيرون.
6 Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.	6 لكن لنا اله واحد الآب الذي منه جميع الاشياء ونحن له. ورب واحد يسوع المسيح الذي به جميع الاشياء ونحن به.
7 But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol: eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.	7 ولكن ليس العلم في الجميع. بل اناس بالضمير نحو الوثن الى الآن ياكلون كانه مما ذبح لوثن. فضميرهم اذ هو ضعيف يتنجس.
8 But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more; nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less.	8 ولكن الطعام لا يقدمنا الى الله. لاننا ان اكلنا لا نزيد وان لم ناكل لا ننقص.
9 But take heed lest perhaps this your liberty become a stumblingblock to the weak.	9 ولكن انظروا لئلا يصير سلطانكم هذا معثرة للضعفاء.
10 For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols ?	10 لانه ان رآك احد يا من له علم متكئا في هيكل وثن أفلا يتقوى ضميره اذ هو ضعيف حتى يأكل ما ذبح للاوثان
11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died ?	11 فيهلك بسبب علمك الاخ الضعيف الذي مات المسيح من اجله.
12 Now when you sin thus against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.	12 وهكذا اذ تخطئون الى الاخوة وتجرحون ضميرهم الضعيف تخطئون الى المسيح.
13 Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother.	13 لذلك ان كان طعام يعثر اخي فلن آكل لحما الى الابد لئلا اعثر اخي
