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.
Bandeko, nalingi boyeba malamu likambo oyo: Bakoko na biso bazalaki bango nyonso na se ya lipata, bakatisaki bango nyonso ebale monene,
2 And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:
babatisamaki bango nyonso mpo na Moyize kati na lipata mpe kati na ebale monene,
3 And did all eat the same spiritual food,
baliaki bango nyonso bilei ya molimo ya ndenge moko,
4 And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)
mpe bamelaki bango nyonso mayi ya molimo ya ndenge moko; pamba te bazalaki komela na libanga ya molimo, oyo ezalaki kotambola elongo na bango; mpe libanga yango ezalaki Klisto.
5 But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
Nzokande, Nzambe asepelaki te na mingi kati na bango; solo, babomaki bango kati na esobe.
6 Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.
Ezali bandakisa mpo na biso, mpo ete tolula makambo mabe te ndenge bango balulaki.
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.
Bozala basambeli ya banzambe ya bikeko te, ndenge bamosusu kati na bango bazalaki, kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Bato bavandaki mpo na kolia mpe mpo na komela, mpe batelemaki mpo na kosakana. »
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Tosengeli te kosala pite, ndenge bamosusu kati na bango basalaki; mpe, na mokolo moko, bato nkoto tuku mibale na misato bakufaki.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.
Tosengeli mpe te komeka Klisto, ndenge bamosusu kati na bango basalaki; mpe banyoka ebomaki bango mpo ete eswaki bango.
10 Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
Boyimaka-yimaka te ndenge bamosusu kati na bango bayimaki-yimaki, mpe anjelu mobebisi abomaki bango.
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)
Makambo wana nyonso ekweyelaki bango mpo ete ezala ndakisa mpo na biso, mpe ekomamaki mpo na kokebisa biso oyo tokomi na tango ya suka. (aiōn g165)
12 Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
Yango wana, tika ete moto oyo azali kokanisa ete azali ya kotelema asala keba ete akweya te!
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.
Komekama oyo ekomelaki bino ekomelaka bato nyonso; mpe Nzambe azali Moyengebene; akotika te ete bomekama koleka makasi na bino. Kasi na tango ya komekama, akobongisela bino nzela ya kobima na komekama yango, mpe akopesa bino makasi ya kotelemela yango.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
Yango wana, balingami na ngai, bokima kosambela banzambe ya bikeko.
15 I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
Nazali koloba na bino lokola na bato ya mayele; botala bino moko soki makambo oyo nazali koloba ezali malamu to mabe.
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?
Boni, kopo ya elambo oyo, mpo na yango, tozongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe, ekomisaka biso te moko na makila ya Klisto? Lipa oyo tokataka ekomisaka biso te moko na nzoto ya Klisto?
17 For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
Lokola lipa ezali kaka moko, biso nyonso tozali kosala nzoto kaka moko atako tozali ebele, pamba te biso nyonso tokabolaka lipa yango kaka moko.
18 Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
Bokanisa nanu Isalaele! Boni, bato oyo baliaka banyama oyo epesami lokola mbeka bazalaka moko te na etumbelo?
19 What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?
Nalingi koloba nini? Nalingi koloba ete misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, mpe yango moko nzambe ya ekeko, ezali na tina?
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.
Te! Kasi lokola babonzaka bambeka na bango epai ya milimo mabe mpe epai ya oyo ezali Nzambe te, naboyi ete bozala moko na milimo mabe.
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.
Bokoki te komela oyo ezali kati na kopo ya Nkolo mpe komela lisusu oyo ezali kati na kopo ya milimo mabe; bokoki te kolia na mesa ya Nkolo mpe kolia lisusu na mesa ya milimo mabe.
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.
Boni, tolingi nde kotumbola zuwa ya Nkolo? Boni, tozali makasi koleka Ye?
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.
Bolobaka: « Nazali na ndingisa ya kosala nyonso, » nzokande nyonso ezali na litomba te; « Nazali na ndingisa ya kosala nyonso, » nzokande nyonso elendisaka te.
24 Let no man seek his own, but that which is another’s.
Tika ete moto moko te aluka bolamu na ye moko kaka, kasi aluka mpe bolamu ya moto mosusu!
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience’ sake.
Boliaka nyonso oyo etekamaka na zando, na komipesa mituna te na tina na yango, noki te bobebisa mitema na bino.
26 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
Pamba te mabele mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ezali ya Nkolo.
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.
Soki moto oyo azali mondimi te abengisi yo, mpe ondimi kokende epai na ye, lia nyonso oyo bakopesa yo, na komipesa mituna te, noki te obebisa motema na yo.
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.
Kasi soki moto moko alobi na yo: « Mosuni oyo ebonzamaki lokola mbeka epai ya nzambe ya ekeko, » kolia yango te, likolo ya moto oyo akebisi yo mpe mpo ete obebisa te motema na yo.
29 Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?
Awa, nazali koloba te na tina na motema na yo, kasi na tina na motema ya moto yango, pamba te mpo na nini motema ya moto mosusu elandela bonsomi na ngai?
30 If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
Soki naliaka na kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe, mpo na nini kopamela ngai na tina na oyo, ngai, nazongiselaka matondi epai ya Nzambe?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
Boye, ezala kolia to komela, nyonso oyo bokoki kozala kosala, bosalaka nyonso mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe.
32 Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:
Bozalaka libaku te, ezala mpo na Bayuda, mpo na Bagreki to mpo na Lingomba ya Nzambe.
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.
Yango wana, ngai, kati na makambo nyonso, nasalaka makasi mpo na kosepelisa bato nyonso; nalukaka litomba na ngai moko te, kasi nalukaka bolamu ya bato ebele, mpo ete babika.
