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.
Mobanse bame ndayandanga kwambeti mwanuke bintu byalenshikila bamashali betu bakulukulu abo balikukonkela Mose. Bonse balatampuka lwenje lufubela kabali batanguninwa ne likumbi.
2 And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:
Bonse balabatishiwa mulikumbi ne mulwenje kulesheti balikukonkela Mose,
3 And did all eat the same spiritual food,
bonse balalya cakulya ca ku mushimu.
4 And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)
Kayi bonse balanwa cakunwa cakumushimu cimo, mulibwe lya candanshi lyakumushimu ilyo lyalikuya nabo pamo. Ilyo libwe lyacandanshi ni Klistu.
5 But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
Nikukabeco Lesa nkalikuba wakondwa nebantu nabambi pakati pabo ecebo cakendi balafwa kayi bitumbi byabo byalikuba mbwee mucinyika.
6 Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.
Byonsebi byalikuba bitondesho bishikutucenjesha afwe, kwambeti katutabanga ne lunkumbwa lwaipa mbuli ndobalikukute.
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.
Katutakambililanga tumbwanga mbuli ncobalikwinsa nabambi. Mbuli ncecalembwa mu mabala, “Bantu balekala panshi kulya ne kunwa, balemana ne kushana kwasunsa bukome.”
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Katutensanga bupombo mbuli nabambi ncobalikwinsa, ico calashinisha bantu bakwana bina makumi abili ne bitatu pabusuba bumo cebo cabupombo.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.
Katutamukalalishanga Klistu mbuli ncobalensa nabambi abo balalumwa njoka ne kufwa.
10 Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
Katutabanga bantu beshikutongauka mbuli ncobalikuba nabambi abo mbwalashina mungelo.
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)
Byonsebi byalenshikila bamashali betu kwambeti bibe bitondesho kuli nabambi. Byalalembwa kwambeti nenjafwe tucanepo lwiyo. Pakwinga tulipepi kucindi cakumapwlilisho acishi. (aiōn g165)
12 Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
Uyo layeyengeti washimpa mulushomo, asheko mano kwambeti katawa.
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.
Misunko njomulakumananga nayo nkayashiyanapo ne misunko njobalakumanapo nayo bantu nabambi. Nsombi Lesa washomeka, nteti akasuminishe kwambeti musunkwe kupitilila pangofu shenu. Neco mwakasunkwanga Lesa nakamupe ngofu ne kumubambila nshila yakupulukilamo.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
Mobanse bame mwasunika, kamutantamukani kukukambilila tumbwanga.
15 I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
Ndambanga kulinjamweti bantu bakute mano. Mulyomboloshe mobene pabintu ibi mbyondamba.
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?
Sena, twanwanga nkomeshi yakulumbaisha pamulalilo wa Mwami, nkatukute kuyabana milopa ya Klistu? Kayi twakomaunanga shinkwa ne kulya, sena nkatukute kuyabana mubili wa Klistu?
17 For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
Pali shinkwa umo, afwe twense nambi tobangi, tuli mubili umo. Pakwinga twense tukute kuyabana mushinkwa umo.
18 Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
Kamubonani ncobakute kwinsa Bayuda, abo bakute kulyako bintu bikute kubengwa milumbo, abo bakute kulyako milumbo, sena nkabakute kumantako lubasu pancito yapanteme pakubengela milumbo?
19 What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?
Sena apa ndapandululunga cani? Sena ndambangeti milumbo ikute kubengwa kutumbwanga ikute ncito? Nambi sena ndambangeti kambwanga kakute ncito?
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.
Sobwe! Ncondambanga nici, iyo milumbo njobakute kubenga bantu bakunsa ikute kutambulwa nemishimu yaipa, nteko kuli Lesa sobwe. Neco nkansuni kwambeti mwikatanenga ne mishimu yaipa.
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.
Nkamwela kucikonsha kunwina munkomeshi ya Mwami, uku kayi kamunwina mu nkomeshi ya mishimu yaipa. Nkamwela kucikonsha kulyela pa tebulu lya Mwami, uku kayi kamulyela patebulu lyamishimu yaipa.
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.
Sena tulayandanga kwambeti Lesa abe ne bufuba? Sena mulayeyengeti tukute ngofu kumupita Lesa?
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.
Nikukabeti twasuminishiwa kwinsa bintu byonse, nomba nteko kwambeti byonse byaina. Twasuminishiwa kwinsa bintu byonse, nomba nteko kwambeti byonse bikute kunyamfwa.
24 Let no man seek his own, but that which is another’s.
Muntu kataliyandilanga enka bintu byaina, nsombi ayandileko banendi bintu byaina.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience’ sake.
Mwasunguluka kulya nyama iliyonse njobalolishinga pamusena wa makwebo kwakubula kwipusha mipusho yakumya kulushomo ndomukute.
26 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
Pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Cishi capanshi nebintu byonse bilimo nibya Lesa.”
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.
Na muntu wakunsa umukuwa kuya kulya cakulya, amwe mwasumina kuya, kamuya mulye ciliconse nceti enga amupe. Kamutaya mwipushe mipusho yakumya kulushomo ndomukute.
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.
Nsombi namwine umwambileti, “Nyama iyi yanga yabengwa kutumbwanga,” Nyama ilico kamutailya sobwe, pakwinga lamwambili mwine.
29 Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?
Nteko kwambeti njamwe mwelela kupenga mumoyo sobwe, nsombi uyo lakwambili. Naumbi ngawipusheti, “Nipacebo cini kusunguluka kwakame ngakufwekelelwa nemuntu lapengenga mwine mu moyo?
30 If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
Nandalumbunga Lesa pacakulya, muntu ngaunyanshila cani pacakulya ncondatambulunga mwakulumba Lesa?”
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
Neco, nambi mulalinga nambi mulanunga nambi mulenshinga ciliconse kacibani cishikulemekesha Lesa.
32 Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:
Bwikalo bwenu bube bwaina butalete nsuntu ku Bayuda, nambi kubantu bakunsa, kayi ne kumubungano wa bantu ba Lesa.
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.
Kamwinsanga mbuli ncondenshinga. Nkute kwelekesha kukondwelesha bantu pabintu byonse. Nkankute kuyanda bintu byonka byaina kwakame sobwe, nsombi nkute kuyanda bintu byaina ku bantu bonse kwambeti bakapuluke.
