1 Corinthians 10
1 For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and they all went across the sea.
he bhrātaraḥ, asmatpitṛpuruṣānadhi yūyaṁ yadajñātā na tiṣṭhateti mama vāñchā, te sarvve meghādhaḥsthitā babhūvuḥ sarvve samudramadhyena vavrajuḥ,
2 And in Moses, they all were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea.
sarvve mūsāmuddiśya meghasamudrayo rmajjitā babhūvuḥ
3 And they all ate of the same spiritual food.
sarvva ekam ātmikaṁ bhakṣyaṁ bubhujira ekam ātmikaṁ peyaṁ papuśca
4 And they all drank of the same spiritual drink. And so, they all were drinking of the spiritual rock seeking to obtain them; and that rock was Christ.
yataste'nucarata ātmikād acalāt labdhaṁ toyaṁ papuḥ so'calaḥ khrīṣṭaeva|
5 But with most of them, God was not well-pleased. For they were struck down in the desert.
tathā satyapi teṣāṁ madhye'dhikeṣu lokeṣvīśvaro na santutoṣeti hetoste prantare nipātitāḥ|
6 Now these things were done as an example for us, so that we might not desire evil things, just as they desired.
etasmin te 'smākaṁ nidarśanasvarūpā babhūvuḥ; ataste yathā kutsitābhilāṣiṇo babhūvurasmābhistathā kutsitābhilāṣibhi rna bhavitavyaṁ|
7 And so, do not take part in idolatry, as some of them did, just as it was written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and then they rose up to amuse themselves.”
likhitamāste, lokā bhoktuṁ pātuñcopaviviśustataḥ krīḍitumutthitā itayanena prakāreṇa teṣāṁ kaiścid yadvad devapūjā kṛtā yuṣmābhistadvat na kriyatāṁ|
8 And let us not commit fornication, as some of them fornicated, and so twenty-three thousand fell on one day.
aparaṁ teṣāṁ kaiścid yadvad vyabhicāraḥ kṛtastena caikasmin dine trayoviṁśatisahasrāṇi lokā nipātitāstadvad asmābhi rvyabhicāro na karttavyaḥ|
9 And let us not tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and so they perished by serpents.
teṣāṁ kecid yadvat khrīṣṭaṁ parīkṣitavantastasmād bhujaṅgai rnaṣṭāśca tadvad asmābhiḥ khrīṣṭo na parīkṣitavyaḥ|
10 And you should not murmur, as some of them murmured, and so they perished by the destroyer.
teṣāṁ kecid yathā vākkalahaṁ kṛtavantastatkāraṇāt hantrā vināśitāśca yuṣmābhistadvad vākkalaho na kriyatāṁ|
11 Now all of these things happened to them as an example, and so they have been written for our correction, because the final age has fallen upon us. (aiōn g165)
tān prati yānyetāni jaghaṭire tānyasmākaṁ nidarśanāni jagataḥ śeṣayuge varttamānānām asmākaṁ śikṣārthaṁ likhitāni ca babhūvuḥ| (aiōn g165)
12 And so, whosoever considers himself to be standing, let him be careful not to fall.
ataeva yaḥ kaścid susthiraṁmanyaḥ sa yanna patet tatra sāvadhāno bhavatu|
13 Temptation should not take hold of you, except what is human. For God is faithful, and he will not permit you to be tempted beyond your ability. Instead, he will effect his Providence, even during temptation, so that you may be able to bear it.
mānuṣikaparīkṣātiriktā kāpi parīkṣā yuṣmān nākrāmat, īśvaraśca viśvāsyaḥ so'tiśaktyāṁ parīkṣāyāṁ patanāt yuṣmān rakṣiṣyati, parīkṣā ca yad yuṣmābhiḥ soḍhuṁ śakyate tadarthaṁ tayā saha nistārasya panthānaṁ nirūpayiṣyati|
14 Because of this, most beloved of mine, flee from the worship of idols.
he priyabhrātaraḥ, devapūjāto dūram apasarata|
15 Since I am speaking to those who are prudent, judge what I say for yourselves.
ahaṁ yuṣmān vijñān matvā prabhāṣe mayā yat kathyate tad yuṣmābhi rvivicyatāṁ|
16 The cup of benediction that we bless, is it not a communion in the Blood of Christ? And the bread that we break, is it not a participation in the Body of the Lord?
yad dhanyavādapātram asmābhi rdhanyaṁ gadyate tat kiṁ khrīṣṭasya śoṇitasya sahabhāgitvaṁ nahi? yaśca pūpo'smābhi rbhajyate sa kiṁ khrīṣṭasya vapuṣaḥ sahabhāgitvaṁ nahi?
17 Through the one bread, we, though many, are one body: all of us who are partakers of the one bread.
vayaṁ bahavaḥ santo'pyekapūpasvarūpā ekavapuḥsvarūpāśca bhavāmaḥ, yato vayaṁ sarvva ekapūpasya sahabhāginaḥ|
18 Consider Israel, according to the flesh. Are not those who eat from the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
yūyaṁ śārīrikam isrāyelīyavaṁśaṁ nirīkṣadhvaṁ| ye balīnāṁ māṁsāni bhuñjate te kiṁ yajñavedyāḥ sahabhāgino na bhavanti?
19 What is next? Should I say that what is immolated to idols is anything? Or that the idol is anything?
ityanena mayā kiṁ kathyate? devatā vāstavikī devatāyai balidānaṁ vā vāstavikaṁ kiṁ bhavet?
20 But the things that the Gentiles immolate, they immolate to demons, and not to God. And I do not want you to become partakers with demons.
tannahi kintu bhinnajātibhi rye balayo dīyante ta īśvarāya tannahi bhūtebhyaeva dīyante tasmād yūyaṁ yad bhūtānāṁ sahabhāgino bhavathetyahaṁ nābhilaṣāmi|
21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons. You cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and partakers of the table of demons.
prabhoḥ kaṁsena bhūtānāmapi kaṁsena pānaṁ yuṣmābhirasādhyaṁ; yūyaṁ prabho rbhojyasya bhūtānāmapi bhojyasya sahabhāgino bhavituṁ na śaknutha|
22 Or should we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he is? All is lawful to me, but not all is expedient.
vayaṁ kiṁ prabhuṁ sparddhiṣyāmahe? vayaṁ kiṁ tasmād balavantaḥ?
23 All is lawful to me, but not all is edifying.
māṁ prati sarvvaṁ karmmāpratiṣiddhaṁ kintu na sarvvaṁ hitajanakaṁ sarvvam apratiṣiddhaṁ kintu na sarvvaṁ niṣṭhājanakaṁ|
24 Let no one seek for himself, but for others.
ātmahitaḥ kenāpi na ceṣṭitavyaḥ kintu sarvvaiḥ parahitaśceṣṭitavyaḥ|
25 Whatever is sold in the market, you may eat, without asking questions for the sake of conscience.
āpaṇe yat krayyaṁ tad yuṣmābhiḥ saṁvedasyārthaṁ kimapi na pṛṣṭvā bhujyatāṁ
26 “The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord.”
yataḥ pṛthivī tanmadhyasthañca sarvvaṁ parameśvarasya|
27 If you are invited by any unbelievers, and you are willing to go, you may eat whatever is set before you, without asking questions for the sake of conscience.
aparam aviśvāsilokānāṁ kenacit nimantritā yūyaṁ yadi tatra jigamiṣatha tarhi tena yad yad upasthāpyate tad yuṣmābhiḥ saṁvedasyārthaṁ kimapi na pṛṣṭvā bhujyatāṁ|
28 But if anyone says, “This has been sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience.
kintu tatra yadi kaścid yuṣmān vadet bhakṣyametad devatāyāḥ prasāda iti tarhi tasya jñāpayituranurodhāt saṁvedasyārthañca tad yuṣmābhi rna bhoktavyaṁ| pṛthivī tanmadhyasthañca sarvvaṁ parameśvarasya,
29 But I am referring to the conscience of the other person, not to yours. For why should my liberty be judged by the conscience of another?
satyametat, kintu mayā yaḥ saṁvedo nirddiśyate sa tava nahi parasyaiva|
30 If I partake with thanksgiving, why should I be slandered over that for which I give thanks?
anugrahapātreṇa mayā dhanyavādaṁ kṛtvā yad bhujyate tatkāraṇād ahaṁ kuto nindiṣye?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever else you may do, do everything for the glory of God.
tasmād bhojanaṁ pānam anyadvā karmma kurvvadbhi ryuṣmābhiḥ sarvvameveśvarasya mahimnaḥ prakāśārthaṁ kriyatāṁ|
32 Be without offense toward the Jews, and toward the Gentiles, and toward the Church of God,
yihūdīyānāṁ bhinnajātīyānām īśvarasya samājasya vā vighnajanakai ryuṣmābhi rna bhavitavyaṁ|
33 just as I also, in all things, please everyone, not seeking what is best for myself, but what is best for many others, so that they may be saved.
ahamapyātmahitam aceṣṭamāno bahūnāṁ paritrāṇārthaṁ teṣāṁ hitaṁ ceṣṭamānaḥ sarvvaviṣaye sarvveṣāṁ tuṣṭikaro bhavāmītyanenāhaṁ yadvat khrīṣṭasyānugāmī tadvad yūyaṁ mamānugāmino bhavata|
