< 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;
Οὐ θέλω γὰρ ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν πάντες ὑπὸ τὴν νεφέλην ἦσαν καὶ πάντες διὰ τῆς θαλάσσης διῆλθον,
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
καὶ πάντες εἰς τὸν Μωυσῆν ἐβαπτίσαντο ἐν τῇ νεφέλῃ καὶ ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ,
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ πνευματικὸν βρῶμα ἔφαγον,
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was the Messiah.
καὶ πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ πνευματικὸν ἔπιον πόμα, (ἔπινον γὰρ ἐκ πνευματικῆς ἀκολουθούσης πέτρας, ἡ πέτρα δὲ ἦν ὁ χριστός)·
5 But with many of them YHWH was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἐν τοῖς πλείοσιν αὐτῶν ηὐδόκησεν ὁ θεός· κατεστρώθησαν γὰρ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
ταῦτα δὲ τύποι ἡμῶν ἐγενήθησαν, εἰς τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἐπιθυμητὰς κακῶν, καθὼς κἀκεῖνοι ἐπεθύμησαν.
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.
μηδὲ εἰδωλολάτραι γίνεσθε, καθώς τινες αὐτῶν, ὥσπερ γέγραπται, Ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
μηδὲ πορνεύωμεν, καθώς τινες αὐτῶν ἐπόρνευσαν, καὶ ἔπεσαν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ εἰκοσιτρεῖς χιλιάδες.
9 Neither let us tempt the Messiah, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
μηδὲ ἐκπειράζωμεν τὸν κύριον, καθώς τινες αὐτῶν ἐπείρασαν, καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ὄφεων ἀπώλλυντο.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
μηδὲ γογγύζετε, καθάπερ τινὲς αὐτῶν ἐγόγγυσαν, καὶ ἀπώλοντο ὑπὸ τοῦ ὀλοθρευτοῦ.
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 )
ταῦτα δὲ τυπικῶς συνέβαινεν ἐκείνοις, ἐγράφη δὲ πρὸς νουθεσίαν ἡμῶν, εἰς οὓς τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων κατήντηκεν. (aiōn )
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
ὥστε ὁ δοκῶν ἑστάναι βλεπέτω μὴ πέσῃ.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but YHWH 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.
πειρασμὸς ὑμᾶς οὐκ εἴληφεν εἰ μὴ ἀνθρώπινος· πιστὸς δὲ ὁ θεός, ὃς οὐκ ἐάσει ὑμᾶς πειρασθῆναι ὑπὲρ ὃ δύνασθε, ἀλλὰ ποιήσει σὺν τῷ πειρασμῷ καὶ τὴν ἔκβασιν, τοῦ δύνασθαι ὑπενεγκεῖν.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
Διόπερ, ἀγαπητοί μου, φεύγετε ἀπὸ τῆς εἰδωλολατρείας.
15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
ὡς φρονίμοις λέγω, κρίνατε ὑμεῖς ὅ φημι.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of the Messiah? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of the Messiah?
τὸ ποτήριον τῆς εὐλογίας ὃ εὐλογοῦμεν, οὐχὶ κοινωνία ἐστιν τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ χριστοῦ, τὸν ἄρτον ὃν κλῶμεν, οὐχὶ κοινωνία τοῦ σώματος τοῦ χριστοῦ ἐστιν;
17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
ὅτι εἷς ἄρτος ἓν σῶμα οἱ πολλοί ἐσμεν· οἱ γὰρ πάντες ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἄρτου μετέχομεν.
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the alter?
βλέπετε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ σάρκα· οὐχὶ οἱ ἐσθίοντες τὰς θυσίας, κοινωνοὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου εἰσίν,
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
τί οὖν φημι; ὅτι εἰδωλόθυτόν τί ἐστιν; ἢ ὅτι εἴδωλόν τί ἐστιν;
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to Elohim: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι ἃ θύουσιν τὰ ἔθνη, δαιμονίοις καὶ οὐ θεῷ θύουσιν, οὐ θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς κοινωνοὺς τῶν δαιμονίων γίνεσθαι.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of YHWH, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of YHWH 's table, and of the table of devils.
οὐ δύνασθε ποτήριον κυρίου πίνειν καὶ ποτήριον δαιμονίων· οὐ δύνασθε τραπέζης κυρίου μετέχειν καὶ τραπέζης δαιμονίων.
22 Do we provoke YHWH to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
ἢ παραζηλοῦμεν τὸν κύριον; μὴ ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐσμεν;
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
πάντα ἔξεστιν, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ πάντα συμφέρει· πάντα ἔξεστιν, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ πάντα οἰκοδομεῖ.
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
μηδεὶς τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ζητείτω, ἀλλὰ τὸ τοῦ ἑτέρου.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
πᾶν τὸ ἐν μακέλλῳ πωλούμενον ἐσθίετε, μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν·
26 For the earth is YHWH 's, and the fulness thereof.
τοῦ κυρίου γὰρ ἡ γῆ καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς.
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.
εἴ τις καλεῖ ὑμᾶς τῶν ἀπίστων καὶ θέλετε πορεύεσθαι, πᾶν τὸ παρατιθέμενον ὑμῖν ἐσθίετε, μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντες διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν·
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 YHWH 's, and the fulness thereof:
ἐὰν δέ τις ὑμῖν εἴπῃ, Τοῦτο ἱερόθυτόν ἐστιν, μὴ ἐσθίετε δι᾽ ἐκεῖνον τὸν μηνύσαντα καὶ τὴν συνείδησιν·
29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
συνείδησιν δὲ λέγω οὐχὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὴν τοῦ ἑτέρου. ἵνα τί γὰρ ἡ ἐλευθερία μου κρίνεται ὑπὸ ἄλλης συνειδήσεως;
30 For if I by favour be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
εἰ ἐγὼ χάριτι μετέχω, τί βλασφημοῦμαι ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ εὐχαριστῶ;
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of YHWH.
εἴτε οὖν ἐσθίετε εἴτε πίνετε εἴτε τι ποιεῖτε, πάντα εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ ποιεῖτε.
32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the assembly of YHWH:
ἀπρόσκοποι καὶ Ἰουδαίοις γίνεσθε καὶ Ἕλλησιν καὶ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ,
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.
καθὼς κἀγὼ πάντα πᾶσιν ἀρέσκω, μὴ ζητῶν τὸ ἐμαυτοῦ σύμφορον, ἀλλὰ τὸ τῶν πολλῶν, ἵνα σωθῶσιν.
