1 Khawrin 10
1 Manuca rhoek aw, a pa rhoek tah khomai hmuiah boeih om uh tih tuili dongah boeih a kat uh te na mangvawt uh ham ka ngaih moenih.
Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 Te vaengah Moses taengla khomai neh tuili dongah boeih nuem uh.
and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 Hlang boeih loh mueihla buh te amah la a caak uh.
and all ate the same spiritual food;
4 A cungkuem loh mueihla tui te amah la a ok uh. Amih aka hmaithawn mueihla lungpang lamkah te a ok uh. Te dongah Khrih tah lungpang la om.
and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
5 Tedae Pathen tah a yet ngai taengah a lungtlun pawt tih khosoek ah mitmoeng uh.
However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Te rhoek te mamih ham mueimae la ana thoeng coeng. Te daengah ni amih loh a nai bangla mamih taengah boethae huengaihnah te a om pawt eh.
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
7 Amih taengkah hlangvang, mueibawk rhoek bangla om uh boeh. A daek vanbangla pilnam tah caak ham neh ok hamla ngol tih malawk hamla pai.
Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
8 Amih khuikah hlangvang loh a cukhalh uh bangla cukhalh uh boel sih. Te dongah ni hlang thawngkul thawng thum loh khohnin pakhat ah ana cungku uh.
Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
9 Amih khuikah a ngen loh a noemcai uh bangla Khrih te noemcai uh boel sih. Te dongah ni rhul loh a poci sakuh.
Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
10 Amih khuikah hlangvang loh a kohuet uh bangla kohuet uh boeh. Te dongah ni aka phaekung lamloh a poci uh.
Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
11 Te tah amih taengah mueimae la ana thoeng coeng. Tedae kumhal kah a bawtnah loh amih taengla a pha te mamih rhalrhingnah ham a daek coeng. (aiōn g165)
Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
12 Te dongah a pai hamla aka poek long tah a bung pawt ham ngaithuen saeh.
Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
13 Nangmih te hlanghing pawt koinih cuekhalhnah loh n'kae mahpawh. Tedae uepom Pathen amah loh na noeng uh kah a voelah noemcai ham n'hlah mahpawh. Tedae noemcainah te ueh thai ham caehlong khaw a saii bitni.
No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
14 Te dongah ka thintlo rhoek mueibawknah lamloh rhaelrham uh laeh.
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 Hlang cueih rhoek bangla ka thui. Nangmih loh oltloek ham te ka thui.
I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
16 yoethennah boengloeng te tah n'uem uh coeng. Te te Khrih thii bulbonah la a om moenih a? Vaidam n'aeh uh te Khrih pum te bulbonah la a om moenih a?
The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?
17 Vaidam tah pakhat, pum pakhat la tun n'om uh. Hlang boeih loh vaidam pakhat te ni n'cabol uh.
Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
18 Pumsa ah Israel te dan uh lah. Te rhoek tah hmueih aka ca neh hmueihtuk kah a pueipo la a om uh moenih a?
Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
19 Te dongah ka thui coeng te ta. Khat khat tah mueirhol buh la om tih khat khat tah mueirhol la om ta.
What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20 Tedae te te rhaithae ham a ngawn tih Pathen taengah a nawn uh moenih. Te dongah rhaithae kah pueipo la na om uh ka ngaih moenih.
But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
21 Boeipa kah boengloeng neh rhaithae kah boengloeng hmaih na ok uh thai moenih. Boeipa kah caboei neh rhaithae kah caboei te na cabol thai moenih.
You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.
22 Boeipa n'thatlai sak te khaw amah lakah thaom la n'om pawt nim?
Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
23 A cungkuem loh thuem cakhaw a cungkuem khaw a rhoei moenih. A cungkuem loh thuem cakhaw a cungkuem loh a hlinsai moenih.
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
24 Amah kah te pawt tih hlang tloe kah te tlap saeh.
Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.
25 Maehkung kah a yoih boeih te mingcimnah lamloh boelh mueh la ca uh.
Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
26 Diklai neh a khuiah aka baetawt he Boeipa kah ni.
for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
27 Aka tangnahmueh khuikah khat khat loh nangmih te n'khue tih caeh na ngaih atah mingcimnah lamloh boelh kolla nangmih ham han tawn carhui tah ca uh.
But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
28 Tedae khat khat loh nangmih taengah, “He he mueirhol buh ni,” a ti atah anih, aka puen neh mingcimnah kongah ca uh boeh.
But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
29 Tedae anih bueng pawt tih hlang tloe kah mingcimnah te ka thui. Balae tih kai kah poenghalnah tah hlang tloe kah mingcimnah neh lai a tloek thil.
Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
30 Kai loh lungvatnah neh ka cabol atah balae tih kai loh ka uem te n'soehsal?
If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
31 Te dongah mebang na caak uh akhaw, na ok uh akhaw, mebang na saii uh akhaw, a cungluem te Pathen kah thangpomnah ham saii uh.
Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Judah rhoek taeng neh Greek rhoek taengah khaw, Pathen kah hlangboel taengah khaw a cuemhmuet la om uh.
Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
33 Kai tah hlang boeih taengah boeih ka kolo. Kamah ka rhoeirhoep ham pawt tih a yet kah te ni ka toem. Te daengah ni a daem uh eh.
even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
