1 Corinthians 10
1 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndikwenda mũkorwo mũtooĩ ũndũ ũyũ, atĩ maithe maitũ ma tene othe maatongoragio nĩ itu, na atĩ othe nĩmaringire iria.
2 And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:
Othe nĩmabatithirio matuĩke andũ a Musa marĩ rungu rwa itu rĩu, o na marĩ iria-inĩ rĩu.
3 And did all eat the same spiritual food,
Na othe maarĩĩaga irio o imwe cia kĩĩroho,
4 And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)
na maanyuuaga maaĩ o mamwe ma kĩĩroho; nĩgũkorwo maanyuire kuuma rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga rwa kĩĩroho rũrĩa rwatwaranaga nao, naruo rwaro rũu rwarĩ Kristũ.
5 But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, aingĩ ao matiigana gũkenia Ngai; nacio ciimba ciao ikĩhurunjwo werũ-inĩ.
6 Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.
Na rĩrĩ, maũndũ macio meekĩkire marĩ ta cionereria, nĩgeetha ngoro ciitũ itikerirĩrie gwĩka maũndũ mooru ta macio meekire.
7 Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
Mũtigatuĩke ahooi mĩhianano, ta ũrĩa amwe ao maatariĩ; o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Andũ acio magĩikara thĩ kũrĩa na kũnyua, magĩcooka magĩũkĩra kũina na gwĩkenia.”
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Ningĩ tũtikahũũre ũmaraya, ta ũrĩa amwe ao meekire, nao magĩkua andũ ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ithatũ mũthenya ũmwe.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.
O na ningĩ tũtikanagerie Mwathani, ta ũrĩa amwe ao meekire, nao makĩniinwo nĩ nyoka.
10 Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
Na mũtikae gũteta, ta ũrĩa amwe ao meekire, nao makĩũragwo nĩ mũraika ũrĩa mũniinani.
11 Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (aiōn g165)
Maũndũ macio meekĩkire kũrĩ o marĩ cionereria, na makĩandĩkwo marĩ ma gũtũkaania, ithuĩ tũkinyĩrĩirwo nĩ kũhingio kwa mahinda. (aiōn g165)
12 Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũngĩĩra nĩũrũgamĩte wega-rĩ, menyerera ndũkae kũgũa!
13 Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.
Mũtirĩ mwagerio na magerio mangĩ tiga o marĩa makoraga andũ. Nake Ngai nĩmwĩhokeku; ndangĩtĩkĩra mũgerio na magerio marĩa mũtangĩhota gwĩtiiria. No rĩrĩa mũkũgerio-rĩ, nĩarĩmuonagĩrĩria njĩra ya kũũrĩra nĩguo mũhotage gwĩtiiria magerio macio.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, arata akwa endwa, ũragĩrai ũhoro wa kũhooya mĩhianano.
15 I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
Ndĩraarĩria andũ oogĩ; mwĩkũũranĩrei ũrĩa ndĩroiga.
16 The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?
Gĩkombe gĩa gũcookia ngaatho kĩrĩa tũcookagia ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wakĩo-rĩ, githĩ ti kũgwatanĩra thakame ya Kristũ? Na githĩ mũgate ũrĩa twenyũraga ti kũgwatanĩra mwĩrĩ wa Kristũ?
17 For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
Na tondũ mũgate ũcio nĩ ũmwe-rĩ, ithuĩ, o na tũrĩ aingĩ, tũrĩ o mwĩrĩ ũmwe, nĩgũkorwo ithuĩ othe tũrĩĩaga mũgate o ũcio ũmwe.
18 Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
Ta mwĩcũraniei ũhoro wa andũ a Isiraeli: Arĩa marĩĩaga irio cia igongona-rĩ, githĩ matigwatanagĩra kĩgongona kĩu?
19 What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?
Ndĩrenda kuuga atĩa? Atĩ kĩrĩa kĩrutĩirwo mũhianano nĩ kĩndũ kũrĩ, kana atĩ mũhianano guo mwene nĩ kĩndũ kũrĩ?
20 But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.
Aca! Ũrĩa ndĩroiga nĩ atĩ magongona ma andũ arĩa matarĩ na ũngai marutagĩrwo ndaimono, na ti Ngai, na ndikwenda mũgĩe ngwatanĩro na ndaimono.
21 You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord, and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.
Mũtingĩhota kũnyuĩra gĩkombe kĩa Mwathani, na mũnyuĩre gĩkombe kĩa ndaimono o nakĩo; mũtingĩhota kũgwatanĩra metha-inĩ ya Mwathani, na mũgwatanĩre metha-inĩ ya ndaimono.
22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.
Kaĩ tũrageria kwarahũra ũiru wa Mwathani? Kaĩ tũrĩ na hinya kũmũkĩra?
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.
“Niĩ ndirigĩrĩirio gwĩka ũndũ,” no ti ũndũ o wothe ũrĩ na kĩguni. “Niĩ ndirigĩrĩirio gwĩka ũndũ,” no ti ũndũ o wothe ũrĩ na uumithio.
24 Let no man seek his own, but that which is another’s.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ wagĩrĩirwo nĩgũcaragia maũndũ ma kwĩguna we mwene, no nĩacaragie maũndũ ma kũguna andũ arĩa angĩ.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience’ sake.
Rĩĩagai kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩendagio thoko-inĩ ya nyama mũtekwĩyũria ciũria nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩcuuko wa thamiri,
26 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
nĩgũkorwo, “Thĩ nĩ ya Mwathani, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wayo.”
27 If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.
Mũndũ ũtarĩ mwĩtĩkia angĩmwĩta mũkarĩe irio gwake, na inyuĩ mũkorwo nĩ mũkwenda gũthiĩ-rĩ, rĩa irio ciothe iria mũngĩheo mũtekwĩyũria ciũria cia mwĩcuuko wa thamiri.
28 But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols, do not eat of it for his sake that told it, and for conscience’ sake.
No mũndũ angĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Irio ici irutĩtwo irĩ igongona,” mũtigacirĩe, nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũcio wamwĩra ũguo, o na nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩcuuko wa thamiri;
29 Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?
ngiuga ũguo ti thamiri yaku ndagweta, no nĩ thamiri ya mũndũ ũcio ũngĩ. Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, wĩyathi wakwa ũgũciirithio nĩkĩ nĩ ũndũ wa thamiri ya mũndũ ũngĩ?
30 If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
Ingĩrĩanĩra irio na andũ angĩ ndĩ na ngaatho-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma njambio nĩ ũndũ wa kĩndũ kĩu njokeirie Ngai ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wakĩo?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa mũkũrĩa kana rĩrĩa mũkũnyua, o na kana mũgĩĩka ũndũ o wothe-rĩ, wĩkagei nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kũgoocithia Ngai.
32 Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:
Tigai gwĩka ũndũ ũngĩhĩngithia mũndũ, arĩ Mũyahudi, kana arĩ Mũyunani, o na kana ũhĩngithie kanitha wa Ngai,
33 As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.
o ta ũrĩa niĩ ngeragia gũkenia andũ othe na njĩra o yothe. Nĩgũkorwo ndicaragia ũndũ wa kwĩguna niĩ mwene, no njaragia ũrĩa ingĩguna andũ aingĩ, nĩguo mahonoke.
