1 Corinthians 10
1 MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
Gonne ga re a tshwanela go lebala, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, se se diragaletseng batho ba ga rona mo sekakeng bogologolo. Modimo o ne wa ba etelela pele ka leru le le neng le tsamaya kwa pele ga bone; mme o ne wa ba ralatsa botlhe sentle metsi a Lewatle je Lehibidu.
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
Se se ka nna sa bidiwa e le “kolobetso” ya bone, —ba kolobeditswe botlhe mo lewatleng le mo lerung! —jaaka balatedi ba ga Moshe, boineelo jwa bone mo go ene jaaka moeteledi-pele wa lona.
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
Mme ka kgakgamatso wa ba romelela dijo go ja le metsi go nwa gone kwa sekakeng; ba ne ba a nwa metsi a Keresete o ba a neileng. O ne a le teng a na le bone jaaka Lefika le le nonofileng la thudiso ya semowa.
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Le fa go ntse jalo bontsi jwa bone botlhe ba ne ba se ka ba utlwa Modimo, mme o ne a ba nyeletsa mo sekakeng.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
Mo thutong e re tlhagisiwa gore ga re a tshwanela go eletsa dilo tse di bosula jaaka ba ne ba dira,
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
le eseng go obamela medimo ya disetwa jaaka ba ne ba dira. (Dikwalo di re bolelela gore, “batho ba ne ba nna fa fatshe go ja le go nwa mme ba tloga ba nanoga ba bina,” ba obamela namane ya gauta), modimo wa sesetwa.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Thuto e nngwwe ya rona ke kaga se se neng sa direga fa bangwe ba bone ba leofa le basadi ba banna ba bangwe, mme dikete di le masome a mabedi le boraro tsa a swa ka letsatsi.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
Mme se leke bobelotelele jwa Morena, ba ne ba dira jalo, mme ba a swa, ba bolawa ke malomo a noga.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
Le gone o se ka wa ngongoregela Modimo le tirisano ya one le wena, jaaka bangwe ba bone ba ne ba dira, gonne ke gone ka moo Modimo o ileng wa romela moengele wa one go ba nyeletsa botlhe.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (aiōn g165)
Dilo tse tsotlhe di ba diragaletse e le dikai, jaaka dithuto tsa boitlamo mo go rona go re tlhagisa gore re seka ra dira jaaka bone; dilo tse di kwadilwe gore re tle re bale kaga bone le go ithuta mo go bone mo malatsing ano a bofelo jaaka lefatshe le le gaufi le bokhutlo jwa lone. (aiōn g165)
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Jalo itlhokomeleng. Fa lo akanya, lo re, “Oo, ga nka ke ka tlhola ke tshwara jalo gape”, a se e nne tlhagiso mo go lona. Gonne le lona lo ka wela mo sebeng.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Mme gakologelwang se, dikeletso tse di bosula tse di tlang mo botshelong jwa lona ga se sepe se sesha le se se pharologanyo. Ba le bantsi ba ne ba lebagana le mathata a a ntseng fela jalo pele ga lona. Mme ga go na thaelo epe e e sa kganelesegeng. Lo ka tshepa Modimo go kganela thaelo gore e se ka ya nna le thata mo lo sa ka keng lwa e fenya, gonne Morena o solofeditse se, mme o tlaa diragatsa se a se buileng. O tlaa lo supegetsa ka fa lo ka falolang nonofo ya thaelo ka gone gore lo kgone go itshoka kgatlhanong le yone.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
Jalo ditsala tse di rategang, tshabang kobamelo nngwe le nngwe ya medimo ya disetwa.
15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
Lo batho ba ba botlhale. Bonang ka bo lona gore a se ke tlogang ke se bua ke boammaaruri.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
Fa re kopela senwelo sa mofine tshegofatso fa Lomating lwa Morena, a se ga se reye gore, botlhe ba ba se nwang ba tlhakanela tshegofatso ya madi a ga Keresete? Mme fa re ngathoganya senkgwe se go ja mmogo, se se supa gore rotlhe re tlhakanetse dithuso mo mmeleng wa gagwe.
17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
Ga go re sepe gore re kae foo, rotlhe re ja mo senkgweng se le sengwe fela, go supa gore rotlhe re ditokololo tsa mmele o le mongwe wa ga Keresete.
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
Mme batho ba Sejuta botlhe ba ba jang ditlhabelo ba kopa nngwa ka yone tiro eo.
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
Keleka go reng? A ka re medimo ya disetwa o baheitane ba e leretseng ditlhabelo e a tshela ka boammaaruri le gore ke medimo tota, le gore a ditlhabelo tse di na le tlhwatlhwa nngwe? Nnyaa, ga ke rialo.
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
Se ke se buang ke gore batho ba ba ntshetsang medimo e ya disetwa dijo, ba ikopantse mmogo mo go direleng mewa e e maswe ditlhabelo, tota e seng Modimo. Mme ga ke rate ope wa lona a nna le kabelo epe le mewa e e maswe fa loo ja dijo tse di tshwanang le tsa baheitane, tse di diretsweng mewa e e maswe.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
Ga lo kake lwaa nwa senwelo fa lomating lwa bojelo lwa Morena le fa go lwa ga Satane. Ga lo kake lwaa ja senkgwe fa lomating lwa Morena le fa lomating lwa ga Satane.
22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
Ke eng? A o leka Morena go go galefela. A o nonofile go mo feta?
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
O gololesegile go ja dijo tse di abetsweng medimo ya disetwa fa o batla go di ja; ga se kgatlhano le molao wa Modimo go ja dijo tse di ntseng jalo, mme ga go reye gore o tswelele pele go go dira. Go ka nna ga letlelesega, mme ga go kake ga nna botoka ga ba ga nna le thuso epe.
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
Se ikakanyetse fela ka bo wena. Leka go akanyetsa motho yo mongwe le ene, le se se mo siametseng.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
Se lo tshwanetseng go se dira ke se: Jaang nama nngwe le nngwe e lo e batlang e e rekisiwang kwa matlhabelong. Se botseng gore a e ka ne e abetswe medimo ya disetwa, e se re kgotsa karabo ya lo koafatsa.
26 For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
Gonne lefatshe le sengwe le sengwe se se molemo mo go lone ke sa Morena ebile ke sa gago go se akola.
27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
Fa mongwe yo e seng Mokeresete a go kopa go ya dijong nae, tswelelang amogela taletso fa o batla. Ja sengwe le sengwe se se mo lomating lwa bojelo o se ka wa botsa dipotso dipe kaga sone. Mme ga o nke o itse go re a di diretswe medimo ya disetwa kgotsa nnyaa, le gone ga o kitla o nna le segakolodi se se bokoa morago ga o di ja.
28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof:
Mme fa mongwe a go tlhagisa gore nama e e abetswe medimo ya disetwa jalo se e je ka ntlha ya motho yo o go boleletseng, le ka segakolodi sa gagwe.
29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?
Mo lebakeng le, maikutlo a gagwe kaga tsone ke selo sa botlhokwa, e seng a gago. Mme o ka botsa gore ka go reng, a ke tshwanetse go kaelwa le go laolelwa ka se mongwe a se akanyang?
30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
Fa ke ka leboga Modimo ka dijo mme ke di itumelela ke eng fa mongwe a ka letlelelwa go senya sengwe le sengwe fela ka gore o akanya gore ga se a siama?
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Go siame, ke tlaa lo bolelela gore ke eng. Ke ka gore o tshwanetse go dira sengwe le sengwe mo kgalaletsong ya Modimo, le e leng go ja le go nwa ga gago.
32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
Jalo se nne sekgopi mo go ope, le fa e ka bo e le Bajuta, kgotsa Badichaba kgotsa Bakeresete.
33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
Seo ke leano le ke le latelang le nna. Ke leka go itumedisa mongwe le mongwe mo go sengwe le sengwe se ke se dirang, e seng go dira se ke se ratang kgotsa se se ntshwanetseng, fa e se se se siametseng ba bangwe, gore ba tle ba bolokwe.
