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.
Ụmụnna m, achọghị m ka unu chefuo ihe mere nna nna anyị ha mgbe ha jere ije nʼime ọzara. O ji igwe ojii duo ha. O mekwara ka ha si nʼetiti Osimiri Uhie gafee.
2 And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:
Nʼime igwe ojii ahụ, na nʼime osimiri ahụ e tinyere ha niile na baptizim, dịka ndị na-eso ụzọ Mosis.
3 And did all eat the same spiritual food,
Ha niile rikwara ihe oriri nke mmụọ ahụ.
4 And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)
Ha ṅụkwara mmiri mmụọ ahụ, mmiri sitere nʼoke nkume mmụọ ahụ, nke na-eso ha. Oke nkume ahụ bụ Kraịst nʼonwe ya.
5 But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
Nʼihe ndị a niile, omume ha amasịghị Chineke. Nʼihi nke a, ọ lara ha nʼiyi nʼime ọzara.
6 Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.
Ugbu a, ihe ndị a niile bụkwa ihe ịdọ aka na ntị nye anyị, ka anyị hapụ ịbụ ndị agụụ ime ihe ọjọọ na-agụ dịka ha.
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.
Unu abụla ndị na-ekpere arụsị dịka ụfọdụ ha mere. Dịka e dere ya, “Ndị a nọdụrụ ala iri ihe na ịṅụ ihe ọṅụṅụ, biliekwa ọtọ gwurie egwu ime onwe ha obi ụtọ.”
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Ka anyị ghara ịkwa iko dịka ụfọdụ nʼime ha mere, iri puku mmadụ abụọ na atọ nʼime ha nwụọ nʼotu ụbọchị.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.
Ka anyị hapụ ịnwa Kraịst ọnwụnwa dịka ụfọdụ nʼime ha si nwaa Chineke. E mere ka agwọ tagbusie ha.
10 Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
Ka anyị hapụkwa itamu ntamu dịka ụfọdụ ha mere ma bụrụ ndị Mmụọ ozi ọnwụ tigburu.
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)
Ihe ndị a niile dakwasịrị ha ka ọ bụrụ ihe ilere anya nye anyị. E dekwara ha nʼakwụkwọ ka ha bụrụ anyị ihe ịdọ aka na ntị nʼihi na anyị bi nʼoge a mgbe ọgwụgwụ ihe niile dị nso. (aiōn g165)
12 Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ị na-eche na ị guzosiri ike, lezie anya ka ị ghara ịda.
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.
O nweghị ọnwụnwa ọbụla nwara unu nke abịakwutebeghị mmadụ. Chineke kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ọ gaghị ekwe ka a nwaa unu karịa ike unu. Kama mgbe a na-anwa unu, ọ ga-enye unu ike imeri ọnwụnwa ma gosikwa unu ụzọ mgbapụ nʼime ya.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
Ya mere, ndị enyi m hụrụ nʼanya, gbaaranụ ikpere arụsị ọsọ.
15 I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
Ana m agwa ndị nwere uche okwu, unu onwe unu tulenụ ihe m na-ekwu.
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?
Iko ngọzị ahụ nke anyị na-agọzi, ọ bụghị iketa oke site nʼọbara Kraịst? Achịcha nke anyị na-anyawa, ọ bụghị iketa oke nʼahụ Kraịst?
17 For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
Nʼihi na otu achịcha dị, ọ bụ ezie na anyị dị ọtụtụ, anyị bụ otu ahụ, nʼihi na anyị niile na-eketa oke nʼotu ogbe achịcha ahụ.
18 Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
Chetanụ ka ndị Izrel siri mee: ọ bụ na ndị na-eri ihe eji chụọ aja abụghị ndị nnwekọ nʼebe ịchụ aja?
19 What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?
Gịnị ka okwu ndị a m na-ekwu pụtara? Na arụsị, maọbụ ihe a chụrụ nʼaja nye arụsị bụ ihe ọbụla, maọbụ na ọ bụghị ihe?
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.
Mba! Ihe m na-ekwu bụ na ndị niile na-achụrụ arụsị aja jikọtara onwe ha nʼotu obi ịchụrụ ekwensu aja ahụ. Ọ bụghị Chineke. Achọkwaghị m ka unu bụrụ ndị e jikọtara ha na ekwensu.
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.
Unu apụghị ịṅụ site nʼiko Onyenwe anyị ma ṅụọkwa site nʼiko ekwensu; unu apụghịkwa inwe oke site na tebul Onyenwe anyị na tebul ekwensu.
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.
Anyị na-achọ ime ka iwe wee Onyenwe anyị? Anyị dị ike karịa ya?
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.
Ị na-asị, “Enwere m ike ime ihe niile m maara na m kwesiri ime,” ma ọ bụghị ihe niile ga-abara m uru. “Enwere m ike ime ihe niile m maara ziri ezi,” ma ọ bụghị ihe niile nwere ike inyere anyị aka.
24 Let no man seek his own, but that which is another’s.
Ka onye ọbụla hapụ ịchọ ọdịmma nke onwe ya, kama ọdịmma nke ndị ọzọ.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience’ sake.
Rie ihe bụ anụ ọbụla e rere nʼahịa na-ajụghị ajụjụ ọbụla nʼihi akọnuche.
26 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
Nʼihi na, “Ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.”
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.
Ọ bụrụ na onye na-ekweghị ekwe akpọọ unu oriri, unu kpebie ije, riekwanụ nri ọbụla e nyere unu na-ajụghị ajụjụ nʼihi akọnuche.
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.
Ma ọ buru na e nwee onye gwara gị, “A chụrụ ihe a nʼaja.” Unu erila nri ahụ, maka onye ahụ mere ka unu mata, na nʼihi akọnuche.
29 Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?
Akọnuche nke m na-ekwu maka ya abụghị nke gị, kama ọ bụ maka nke onye ahụ. Nʼihi gịnị ka mnwere onwe m ga-eji bụrụ ihe akọnuche onye ọzọ ga-ekpe ikpe?
30 If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
Ọ bụrụ na m nwere ike inye ekele, were nri m rie, olee otu e si ekwutọ m nʼihi ihe ahụ m nyere Chineke ekele banyere ya?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
Ihe ọbụla ị na-eme, ma unu na-eri ihe maọbụ na-aṅụ ihe, na-emenụ ha niile maka otuto nke Chineke.
32 Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:
Unu emejọla ndị Juu maọbụ ndị Griik, ma ọ bụkwanụ nzukọ Chineke.
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.
Na-agbalịsinụ ike ime dịka m si eme. Nʼihe ọbụla m na-eme, ana m ejisi ike ime ihe ga-atọ onye ọbụla ụtọ. Anaghị m achọ ọdịmma nke m naanị, kama ọ bụ ọdịmma nke mmadụ ibe m, ime ka a zọpụta ha.
