1.Korinther 8 | English Standard Version

Food Offered to Idols

1 Now concerning* food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up. 2 If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.* 4 Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” 5 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 7 However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. 9 But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating* in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged,* if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12 Thus, sinning against your brothers* and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

1 وَأَمَّا فِيمَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِالذَّبَائِحِ الْمُقَدَّمَةِ لِلأَصْنَامِ، فَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الْمَعْرِفَةَ لِجَمِيعِنَا. غَيْرَ أَنَّ الْمَعْرِفَةَ تَنْفُخُ تَكَبُّراً، وَلَكِنَّ الْمَحَبَّةَ تَبْنِي. فَمَنْ ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ شَيْئاً، 2 فَهُوَ لَا يَعْرِفُ شَيْئاً بَعْدُ حَقَّ الْمَعْرِفَةِ. 3 أَمَّا الَّذِي يُحِبُّ اللهَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَعْرِفُهُ. 4 فَفِيمَا يَخُصُّ الأَكْلَ مِنْ ذَبَائِحِ الأَصْنَامِ، نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الصَّنَمَ لَيْسَ بِإِلهٍ مَوْجُودٍ فِي الْكَوْنِ، وَأَنَّهُ لَا وُجُودَ إِلّا لإِلهٍ وَاحِدٍ. 5 حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَتِ الآلِهَةُ الْمَزْعُومَةُ مَوْجُودَةً فِي السَّمَاءِ أَوْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَمَا أَكْثَرَ تِلْكَ الآلِهَةَ وَالأَرْبَابَ! 6 فَلَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا نَحْنُ إِلّا إِلهٌ وَاحِدٌ هُوَ الآبُ الَّذِي مِنْهُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، وَنَحْنُ لَهُ؛ وَرَبٌّ وَاحِدٌ هُوَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ الَّذِي بِهِ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَنَحْنُ بِهِ. 7 عَلَى أَنَّ هذِهِ الْحَقِيقَةَ لَا يَعْرِفُهَا الْجَمِيعُ: فَبَعْضُهُمْ قَدْ تَعَوَّدُوا الظَّنَّ بِأَنَّ الأَصْنَامَ مَوْجُودَةٌ فِعْلاً، وَمَازَالُوا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الذَّبَائِحِ كَأَنَّهَا فِعْلاً مُقَدَّمَةٌ لَهَا، فَيَتَدَنَّسُ ضَمِيرُهُمْ بِسَبَبِ ضَعْفِهِ. 8 إِلّا أَنَّ الطَّعَامَ لَا يُقَرِّبُنَا إِلَى اللهِ، فَإِنَّنَا إِنْ أَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ لَا يَعْلُو مَقَامُنَا، وَإِنْ لَمْ نَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ لَا يَصْغُرُ شَأْنُنَا! 9 وَلكِنْ خُذُوا حِذْرَكُمْ لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ حَقُّكُمْ هَذَا فَخّاً يَسْقُطُ فِيهِ الضُّعَفَاءُ. 10 فَيَا صَاحِبَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ، إِنْ رَآكَ أَحَدٌ جَالِساً إِلَى الطَّعَامِ فِي هَيْكَلٍ لِلأَصْنَامِ، أَفَلا يَتَقَوَّى ضَمِيرُهُ، هُوَ الضَّعِيفُ، لِيَأْكُلَ مِنْ ذَبَائِحِ الأَصْنَامِ، 11 وَبِذَلِكَ يَتَدَمَّرُ ذَلِكَ الضَّعِيفُ، وَهُوَ أَخٌ لَكَ مَاتَ الْمَسِيحُ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ، بِسَبَبِ مَعْرِفَتِكَ! 12 فَإِذْ تُخْطِئُونَ هكَذَا إِلَى الإِخْوَةِ فَتَجْرَحُونَ ضَمَائِرَهُمُ الضَّعِيفَةَ، إِنَّمَا تُخْطِئُونَ إِلَى الْمَسِيحِ. 13 لِذَا، إِنْ كَانَ بَعْضُ الطَّعَامِ فَخّاً يَسْقُطُ فِيهِ أَخِي، فَلَنْ آكُلَ لَحْماً أَبَداً، لِكَيْ لَا أُسْقِطَ أَخِي!
