1 Corinto 10
1 Buot ko nga makahibalo kamo, mga igsoon, nga ang tanan natong mga amahan nailalom sa panganod ug ang tanan milabang sa dagat.
My fellow believers, I want to remind you about our(exc) [Jewish] ancestors. They were all under the cloud [by which God miraculously led them and protected them when they left Egypt with Moses]. All those ancestors crossed the [Red] Sea [after God miraculously made the water separate so that they could walk through it].
2 Ang tanan gibawtismohan ni Moises ngadto sa panganod ug didto sa dagat,
God caused all of them to begin to live under the authority of [MTY] Moses [when they walked] under that cloud and [walked through the Red] Sea.
3 ug ang tanan mikaon sa samang espirituhanon nga pagkaon.
All [those ancestors of ours ate the same food that God] miraculously [provided].
4 Ang tanan miinom sa samang espirituhanon nga ilimnon. Kay sila miinom gikan sa usa ka espirituhanon nga bato nga nagsunod kanila, ug kana nga bato mao si Cristo.
They all drank water that [God] miraculously [provided]. That is, they all drank water that God miraculously made come out of the rock. That rock was [a symbol of] [MET] Christ, who went with them. [So we conclude that God helped all of those people in many ways].
5 Apan ang Dios wala kaayo nahimuot sa kadaghanan kanila, ug ang ilang mga patay nga lawas nagkatag sa kamingawan.
However, [we also conclude that] God was angry [LIT] with most of those people [because they sinned against him. He caused almost all of them to die, and as] a result their bodies were scattered in the desert.
6 Karon kining mga butanga mao ang mga panag-ingnan alang kanato, aron nga dili na kita maibog sa mga daotan nga mga butang sama sa ilang gibuhat.
Those things [that happened long ago] became examples to teach us [the following things]: We should not desire to [do] evil things as those people desired to do.
7 Ayaw pagsimba sa mga diosdios, sama sa gibuhat sa pipila kanila. Kini sama sa nahisulat, “Ang mga tawo milingkod aron sa pagkaon ug pag-inom, ug mitindog aron magdula.”
We should not worship idols as many of those people did. [Remember that Moses] wrote, “The people sat down. They ate and drank [to honor the golden calf that they had just made]. Then they got up to dance [immorally].”
8 Dili kita magbuhat ug malaw-ay nga pakighilawas, sama sa gibuhat sa kadaghanan kanila. Sa usa ka adlaw, 23, 000 nga mga tawo ang nangamatay tungod niini.
We should not have sexual relations with someone to whom we are not married, as many of them did. As a result, God [punished them by] causing 23,000 people to die in [only] one day.
9 Dili usab nato sulayan si Cristo, sama sa gibuhat sa kadaghanan kanila ug gilaglag pinaagi sa mga bitin.
We should not try to see how much we can sin without the Lord punishing us. Some of them did that, and as a result they died because [poisonous] snakes [bit them].
10 Ayaw usab pagbagulbol, sama sa gibuhat sa kadaghanan kanila ug gilaglag pinaagi sa usa ka anghel sa kamatayon.
We should not complain [about what God does]. Some of them did that, and as a result an angel destroyed them. [So God will certainly punish us if we sin like they did].
11 Karon kining mga butanga nahitabo kanila isip mga panag-ingnan alang kanato. Kini nahisulat alang sa pagpanudlo kanato—alang kanato diin ang kataposan sa mga katuigan miabot. (aiōn g165)
All those things [that happened to our ancestors long ago] are examples for us. [Moses] wrote those things to warn us [who are living at this time which is near the end]. We are the people for whom God has done [the things that he decided to do in] the previous periods of time. (aiōn g165)
12 Busa tugoti nga ang si bisan kinsa nga naghunahuna nga siya nagtindog mag-amping nga siya dili matumba.
So [I say this to] all those who confidently [think that they will always] steadfastly continue to [believe what God said and will never disobey what he commanded]: Be careful that you [(sg)] do not sin [when you are tempted].
13 Walay tintasyon nga midangat kaninyo nga wala mahitabo sa tanang katawhan. Hinunoa, ang Dios matinud-anon. Dili siya motugot nga tintalon kamo labaw pa sa inyong makaya. Uban sa tintasyon siya usab maghatag ug pamaagi nga kamo makaikyas, aron nga kamo makahimo sa pagsugakod niini.
[Remember that] your desires to sin are the same desires that other people have. But when you are tempted to sin, you can trust God [to help you]. He will not permit you to be tempted {anything to tempt you} more than you are able to resist. Instead, when you are tempted {things tempt you}, he will also provide a way [for you] to endure it [without sinning].
14 Busa, akong mga hinigugma, palayo kamo gikan sa pagsimba sa diosdios.
So, [I say to] you people whom I love, [avoid] worshipping idols [just like you would] run away from [anything that is dangerous].
15 Nakigsulti ako kaninyo ingon nga mahunahunaon nga mga tawo, aron nga inyong hukman ang akong isulti.
It is to people who [think that they] are wise that I write. So, you, as wise people, judge whether what I am writing [is true].
16 Ang kupa sa panalangin nga gipanalanginan nato, dili ba kini ang usa ka pagpakig-ambit sa dugo ni Cristo? Ang tinapay nga atong gipikaspikas, dili ba kini usa ka pagpakig-ambit sa lawas ni Cristo?
[During the Lord’s Supper, after we ask God to] bless (the [wine]/the [juice]) [in the] cup, we give thanks for it [and drink it]. By doing that, we certainly are [RHQ] sharing in what Christ [did for us when] his blood [flowed from his body when he died. During the Lord’s Supper, when we break] the bread [and eat it], we are certainly sharing in [MTY] what Christ [did for us when] his body [suffered for us on the cross]. [RHQ]
17 Tungod kay adunay usa lamang ka tinapay, kitang tanan sa usa lang ka lawas. Kitang tanan nagkahiusa ug kuha gikan sa usa lamang ka tinapay.
Because it is one loaf of bread that we [break and eat during the Lord’s Supper, it symbolizes that] we who are many are one group, because we all eat from the one loaf.
18 Tan-awa ang katawhan sa Israel: dili ba kadtong nagkaon sa mga gihalad nakig-abin man sa halaran?
Consider [what happens when] the Israeli people [eat the food that the priests] sacrifice on the altar [outside the Temple]. They participate in [what the priests do at] [MTY] the altar. [RHQ] [Similarly, if you eat food that non-believers have offered to an idol in a temple, you are participating in their worship of the idol there].
19 Unya karon unsa man ang akong gisulti? Nga ang diosdios tinuod? O nga ang pagkaon nga hinalad sa diosdios tinuod?
By saying that, [I] do not mean that offering food to an idol makes it anything [more than just ordinary food [RHQ].] I do not mean that an idol is anything [more than just an idol].
20 Apan ako mosulti mahitungod sa mga butang nga gihalad sa Gentil nga mga pagano, nga sila naghalad niining mga butanga sa mga demonyo ug dili sa Dios. Dili ko buot nga mahimo kamong makig-abin uban sa mga demonyo!
No! Instead, I mean that what people sacrifice [to idols], they are sacrificing to demons, not to God. So, [if you eat food that has been sacrificed to idols, you are participating in worshipping the demons that the idols represent]. And I do not want you to participate in worshipping demons!
21 Dili kamo makainom sa kupa sa Ginoo ug kupa sa mga demonyo. Dili kamo mahimong makig-uban sa lamesa sa Dios ug sa lamesa sa mga demonyo.
When you drink the [grape juice/wine in] [MTY] the cup [at the Lord’s Supper], you cannot participate in the [blessings that] the Lord [Jesus] brought to us and at the same time drink the [wine in the] [MTY] cup that people offer to demons! When you eat at the Lord’s table, you cannot participate in the blessings the Lord provided [MTY] when he died for us and at the same time participate in the things that represent demons [by eating food that has been sacrificed to idols]
22 O ato bang hagiton ang Ginoo aron sa mangabubho? Labing kusgan ba kita kay kaniya?
[If you participate in honoring demons in that way], you will certainly make the Lord very angry [RHQ]! (Remember that you are certainly not stronger than he is./Do you think that you are stronger than he is?) [RHQ] [Certainly not, so you will not escape his punishing you if you honor demons in that way!]
23 Ang tanang butang uyon sa balaod, “apan dili ang tanang butang mapuslanon. “Ang tanang butang uyon sa balaod,” apan dili ang tanang butang makalig-on sa mga tawo.
[Some people say], “[God] permits [believers to do] anything.” But [I say that] not everything that people do benefits [those who do it! Yes, some people say], “God permits [believers to do] all things.” But not everything that people do helps them to become [spiritually] mature.
24 Kinahanglan nga walay si bisan kinsa ang mangita sa iyang kaugalingong kaayohan. Hinuon, ang matag usa kinahanglan nga mangita ug kaayohan sa iyang silingan.
No one should try to benefit [only] himself. Instead, each person should try to benefit other people [spiritually].
25 Makahimo kamo pagkaon sa bisan unsa nga gibaligya sa merkado, sa walay pagpangutana sa konsensya.
[This is what you should do]: Eat any [food] that is sold {that people sell} in the market. Do not ask questions [to find out if that food has been offered] {[someone offered that food]} [to idols, just] because you think it would be wrong [to eat such food].
26 Kay “ang kalibotan iya sa Ginoo, ug ang kinatibuk-an niini.”
[Remember that the Psalmist wrote], “Everything on the earth belongs to [the] Lord [God because he created it!]” [So, food that has been offered to idols belongs to the Lord, not to the idols, and you may eat it].
27 Kung ang mga dili magtutuo modapit kanimo nga mokaon sa pagkaon, ug buot nimo nga moadto, kaona ang bisan unsa nga gibutang sa imong atubangan sa walay pagpangutana sa konsensya.
If a non-believer invites you to a meal, go if you want to, and eat any food that is set {that [he] sets} before you. Do not ask [whether it was offered to idols, just] because you think that it would be wrong [to eat such food].
28 Apan kung ang usa ka tawo moingon kanimo, “Kini nga pagkaon gikan sa usa ka pagano nga paghalad” ayaw kini kaona. Kini alang sa usa nga nagpahibalo kanimo, ug tungod sa konsensya.
But if someone says to you, “This is food that was sacrificed [to an idol],” do not eat it, for the sake of the person who told that to you, and also because someone there may think that it is wrong [to eat such food].
29 Wala ako nagpasabot sa imong kaugalingong konsensya, apan ang konsensya sa ubang tawo. Kay ngano nga kinahanglan man nga ang akong kagawasan mahukman sa konsensya sa uban?
I do not mean that you [should be concerned about whether it is all right to eat such food]. What I mean is that you should be concerned about others who may think that it is wrong to eat such food. Since I know that I (am free/have the right) [to eat such food without God punishing me], no one should [RHQ] say that what I am doing is wrong just because he himself thinks that it is wrong.
30 Kung ako moambit sa pagkaon uban ang pagpasalamat, nganong sawayon man ako alang sa kung unsa akong gipasalamatan na?
If I thank [God] for the food when I eat [food that has been offered to an idol], no one should criticize me for eating food for which I have thanked God [RHQ]!
31 Busa, bisan mokaon o moinom kamo, o bisan unsa ang inyong buhaton, buhata ang tanan sa paghimaya sa Dios.
So [I say to you in conclusion], when you eat [food], or drink [something], or do anything else, do everything in order that [people will] praise God.
32 Ayaw paghatag ug kapandolan sa mga Judio o sa mga Griyego, o sa simbahan sa Dios.
Do not do anything that would hinder Jews or Greeks [from becoming believers], and do not do things that would encourage members of God’s congregations to sin.
33 Naningkamot ako sa pagpahimuot sa tanang tawo sa tanang mga butang. Wala ako nangita sa akong kaayohan, apan kana sa kadaghanan. Buhaton ko kini aron nga maluwas sila.
[Do as I do]. I try to please everyone in every way. I do this by not seeking to benefit myself. Instead, I try to benefit many others, in order that they may be saved {that [God] may save them} [from the guilt of their sins].
