١ كورنثوس 10

١ 1 فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَنَّ آبَاءَنَا جَمِيعَهُمْ كَانُوا تَحْتَ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ، وَجَمِيعَهُمُ ٱجْتَازُوا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ،

Now, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and that all passed through the sea,

٢ 2 وَجَمِيعَهُمُ ٱعْتَمَدُوا لِمُوسَى فِي ٱلسَّحَابَةِ وَفِي ٱلْبَحْرِ،

and were all immersed into Moses, in the cloud and in the sea;

٣ 3 وَجَمِيعَهُمْ أَكَلُوا طَعَامًا وَاحِدًا رُوحِيًّا،

and did all eat the same spiritual food,

٤ 4 وَجَمِيعَهُمْ شَرِبُوا شَرَابًا وَاحِدًا رُوحِيًّا، لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ صَخْرَةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ تَابِعَتِهِمْ، وَٱلصَّخْرَةُ كَانَتِ ٱلْمَسِيحَ.

and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was the Christ.

٥ 5 لَكِنْ بِأَكْثَرِهِمْ لَمْ يُسَرَّ ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ طُرِحُوا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ.

But with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

٦ 6 وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ حَدَثَتْ مِثَالًا لَنَا، حَتَّى لَا نَكُونَ نَحْنُ مُشْتَهِينَ شُرُورًا كَمَا ٱشْتَهَى أُولَئِكَ.

Now these things took place as examples for us, that we should not desire evil things, as they, also, desired.

٧ 7 فَلَا تَكُونُوا عَبَدَةَ أَوْثَانٍ كَمَا كَانَ أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «جَلَسَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِلْأَكْلِ وَٱلشُّرْبِ، ثُمَّ قَامُوا لِلَّعِبِ».

Neither be you idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written: Tho people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to engage in idolatrous sport.

٨ 8 وَلَا نَزْنِ كَمَا زَنَى أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَسَقَطَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ ثَلَاثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا.

Nor let us be guilty of lewdness, as some of them were guilty, and fell, in one day, twenty-three thousand.

٩ 9 وَلَا نُجَرِّبِ ٱلْمَسِيحَ كَمَا جَرَّبَ أَيْضًا أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَأَهْلَكَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَيَّاتُ.

Nor let us tempt the Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

١٠ 10 وَلَا تَتَذَمَّرُوا كَمَا تَذَمَّرَ أَيْضًا أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَأَهْلَكَهُمُ ٱلْمُهْلِكُ.

Nor do you murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

١١ 11 فَهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ جَمِيعُهَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مِثَالًا، وَكُتِبَتْ لإِنْذَارِنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱنْتَهَتْ إِلَيْنَا أَوَاخِرُ ٱلدُّهُورِ. (aiōn g165)

Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they are written for the instruction of us, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)

١٢ 12 إِذًا مَنْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ قَائِمٌ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَنْ لَا يَسْقُطَ.

Wherefore, let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he foil.

١٣ 13 لَمْ تُصِبْكُمْ تَجْرِبَةٌ إِلَّا بَشَرِيَّةٌ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ أَمِينٌ، ٱلَّذِي لَا يَدَعُكُمْ تُجَرَّبُونَ فَوْقَ مَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ، بَلْ سَيَجْعَلُ مَعَ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةِ أَيْضًا ٱلْمَنْفَذَ، لِتَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَحْتَمِلُوا.

No trial has come upon you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried more than you are able to bear; but he will, with the trial, make a way to escape, so that you be able to bear up under it.

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ يَا أَحِبَّائِي ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ عِبَادَةِ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ.

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

١٥ 15 أَقُولُ كَمَا لِلْحُكَمَاءِ: ٱحْكُمُوا أَنْتُمْ فِي مَا أَقُولُ:

I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.

١٦ 16 كَأْسُ ٱلْبَرَكَةِ ٱلَّتِي نُبَارِكُهَا، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ شَرِكَةَ دَمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ؟ ٱلْخُبْزُ ٱلَّذِي نَكْسِرُهُ، أَلَيْسَ هُوَ شَرِكَةَ جَسَدِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ؟

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the participation of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the participation of the body of the Christ?

١٧ 17 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ خُبْزٌ وَاحِدٌ، جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ، لِأَنَّنَا جَمِيعَنَا نَشْتَرِكُ فِي ٱلْخُبْزِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ.

Because the loaf is one, we, the many, are one body, for we are all partakers of the one loaf.

١٨ 18 ٱنْظُرُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ. أَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلذَّبَائِحَ هُمْ شُرَكَاءَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ؟

Look at Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers with the altar?

١٩ 19 فَمَاذَا أَقُولُ؟ أَإِنَّ ٱلْوَثَنَ شَيْءٌ، أَوْ إِنَّ مَا ذُبِحَ لِلْوَثَنِ شَيْءٌ؟!

What, then, do I say? That an idol is any thing? or, that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?

٢٠ 20 بَلْ إِنَّ مَا يَذْبَحُهُ ٱلْأُمَمُ فَإِنَّمَا يَذْبَحُونَهُ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ، لَا لِلهِ. فَلَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءَ ٱلشَّيَاطِينِ.

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. I do not wish you to be partakers with demons.

٢١ 21 لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَشْرَبُوا كَأْسَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَكَأْسَ شَيَاطِينَ. لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَشْتَرِكُوا فِي مَائِدَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي مَائِدَةِ شَيَاطِينَ.

You can not drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: you can not be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

٢٢ 22 أَمْ نُغِيرُ ٱلرَّبَّ؟ أَلَعَلَّنَا أَقْوَى مِنْهُ؟

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

٢٣ 23 «كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَحِلُّ لِي»، لَكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تُوَافِقُ. «كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَحِلُّ لِي»، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَبْنِي.

All meats are lawful for me; but all are not profitable; all are lawful, but all do not edify.

٢٤ 24 لَا يَطْلُبْ أَحَدٌ مَا هُوَ لِنَفْسِهِ، بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا هُوَ لِلْآخَرِ.

Let no one seek his own, but each the welfare of the other.

٢٥ 25 كُلُّ مَا يُبَاعُ فِي ٱلْمَلْحَمَةِ كُلُوهُ غَيْرَ فَاحِصِينَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلضَّمِيرِ،

Any thing that is sold in the market, eat, asking no questions on account of conscience:

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّ «لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا».

for the earth and its fullness are the Lord’s.

٢٧ 27 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَدْعُوكُمْ، وَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَذْهَبُوا، فَكُلُّ مَا يُقَدَّمُ لَكُمْ كُلُوا مِنْهُ غَيْرَ فَاحِصِينَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلضَّمِيرِ.

If any one of the unbelievers invites you to a feast, and you are disposed to go, eat any thing that is set before you, asking no questions for conscience sake.

٢٨ 28 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالَ لَكُمْ أَحَدٌ: «هَذَا مَذْبُوحٌ لِوَثَنٍ» فَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَاكَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْلَمَكُمْ، وَٱلضَّمِيرِ. لِأَنَّ «لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا».

But if any one say to you: This is sacrificed to idols; eat not, for the sake of him that pointed it out, and for conscience sake:

٢٩ 29 أَقُولُ «ٱلضَّمِيرُ»، لَيْسَ ضَمِيرَكَ أَنْتَ، بَلْ ضَمِيرُ ٱلْآخَرِ. لِأَنَّهُ لِمَاذَا يُحْكَمُ فِي حُرِّيَّتِي مِنْ ضَمِيرِ آخَرَ؟

conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. Why, then, is my liberty judged by the conscience of another?

٣٠ 30 فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَتَنَاوَلُ بِشُكْرٍ، فَلِمَاذَا يُفْتَرَى عَلَيَّ لِأَجْلِ مَا أَشْكُرُ عَلَيْهِ؟

If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of on account of that for which I give thanks?

٣١ 31 فَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ أَوْ تَشْرَبُونَ أَوْ تَفْعَلُونَ شَيْئًا، فَٱفْعَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ.

Whether, therefore, you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

٣٢ 32 كُونُوا بِلَا عَثْرَةٍ لِلْيَهُودِ وَلِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَلِكَنِيسَةِ ٱللهِ.

Give no occasion for stumbling, either to the Jews, or to the Greeks, or to the church of God;

٣٣ 33 كَمَا أَنَا أَيْضًا أُرْضِي ٱلْجَمِيعَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، غَيْرَ طَالِبٍ مَا يُوَافِقُ نَفْسِي، بَلِ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ، لِكَيْ يَخْلُصُوا.

even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own good, but that of the many, in order that they may be saved.
