< 1 Corinthians 10 >
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that all of you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
Valongo vangu, nigana mmanyai kuvya vagogo vitu vavili mulugendu kuni vilongoswa na lihundi, na voha vakupwiki bwina munyanja yidung'u.
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
Voha vabatiziwi mulihundi lila na munyanja yila muni vawungayi na Musa.
3 And did all eat the same spiritual food;
Voha valili chakulya chilachila cha mpungu.
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
Voha vanywili unywelelu wulawula wa chimpungu, muni vanywili manji kuhuma muliganga la Chimpungu lelavi mulugendu pamonga nawu, litalau lelilo lavi Kilisitu mwene.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Nambu vamahele neju vamganisi lepi Chapanga ndi vafwili na higa zavi zadandasiki kulugangatu.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
Mambu genago ndi luhumu kwitu, lwelukutilangisa tikotoka kunogela mambu gahakau ngati chevanogili vene.
7 Neither be all of you idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
Mukoto kuyupa chimong'omong'o ngati chevakitili yavi, ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Vandu vatamili kulya na kunywa, vakayima na kukita mambu ga ukemi.”
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Mewa tikotoka kukita ugoni ngati vangi vavi, vakafwa ligono limonga vandu elufu ishilini na zidatu.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
Tikotoka kumlinga Kilisitu ngati vene chevakitili vangi vavi, vakomiwi na liyoka.
10 Neither murmur all of you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
Mkoto kuvembeneka ngati chavavembenike vangi vavi mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga mweileta lifwa.
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 )
Hinu, mambu genago gavakolili vene gavyai luhumu kwa vangi, na gayandikiwi muni kutihakalila tete vetitama lukumbi ulu lwa mwishu. (aiōn )
12 Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
Mwakujiwona ayimili chakukangamala ajiyangalila akotoka kugwa.
13 There has 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 all of you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that all of you may be able to bear it.
Kulingiwa kwekuvakolili ndi kudebe kwa vandu. Chapanga msadikika, nakutilinga kupita makakala ginu, pamonga na kulingiwa, mwene yati akuvapela makakala ga kukangamala na njila ya kuhuma mwenumo.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
Hinu, vankozi vangu, muyepayi kuyupa chimong'omong'o.
15 I speak as to wise men; judge all of you what I say.
Nilongela na nyenye, vandu mwemuvi na luhala, muamula mwavene genijova aga.
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?
Chikombi chetihengela pachakulya cha BAMBU. Ndi chetimsengusa Chapanga, petihenga kunywelela tiwungana na ngasi ya Kilisitu? Mewa petimetula libumunda tiwungana na higa ya Kilisitu?
17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
Ndava kuvi na libumunda limonga, pamonga tete tivii tavamahele, ndi higa yimonga, muni tavoha tilya libumunda lenilo.
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
Mlolayi luhumu lwa vandu va Isilaeli, vevilya luteta viwungana pamonga na lusanja lwa luteta lwenulo.
19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
Hinu nijova kyani? Chakulya amala chimong'omong'o chechiwusiwi luteta kwa chivii na mana yoyoha?
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that all of you should have fellowship with devils.
Lepi! Luteta lwa lweluwusiwa na vandu vangammanya Chapanga vakumuwusila mzuka, lepi Chapanga. Katu mbwitu nyenye muwunganayi na mzuka.
21 All of you cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: all of you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
Mwihotola lepi kunywa chikombi cha BAMBU mewa chikombi cha mizuka, mwihotola lepi kulya pameza ya BAMBU mewa pameza ya mizuka.
22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
Wu, tigana kumkita BAMBU avyai na wihu? Tiholalela kuvya tivii na makakala kuliku mwene?
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
Vindu vyoha viyidakiliwa, nambu lepi vyoha vyabwina. Vindu vyoha viyidikilwa nambu lepi vyoha vijenga sadika.
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
Mundu akotoka kulonda chiyonjokesu yaki mwene, nambu chiyonjokesu cha muyaki.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
Mlyai chindu chochoha chila chechiguliswa pandu paki changali kukota kota ndava ya mtima winu weukuvalangisa gabwina na gahakau.
26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Mulima na vyoha vyevivii mugati yaki ndi vya BAMBU.”
27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and all of you be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
Ngati mundu nakuvya msadika akavagongolela kulya chakulya myidikilayi kuhamba, mlyayi vyoha vyeakuvatekela changali kukota ndava ya mtima waeukuvalangisa gabwina na gahakau.
28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof:
Nambu mundu akavajovelayi, “Chakulya chenichi chiwusiwi kwa chimong'omong'o,” Ndi mkoto kulya ndava ya mwenuyo mwavajovili.
29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
Nijova, “Ndava ya mtima weukuvalangisa gabwina na gahakau.” Lepi Ndava ya mtima weukuvalangisa gabwina na gahakau, ndava ya mtima weukuvalangisa gabwina na gahakau ga mwenuyo mwavajovili. “Yati mnikota ndava kyani uwaka wangu uhamuliwayi mtima weulangisa gabwina na gahakau?
30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
Yikavya nene nilya chakulya na kumsengusa Chapanga, ndava ya kyani nilaumiwayi kwa chakulya chenicho, kwa ndava nilya kwa kumsengusa Chapanga?”
31 Whether therefore all of you eat, or drink, or whatsoever all of you do, do all to the glory of God.
Hinu, chochoha chemwikita kulya amala kunywa, mkita goha kwa Ukulu wa Chapanga.
32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
Hinu mlolayi, mkoto kuvayomesa Vayawudi amala vandu vangali Vayawudi amala kwa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
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.
Muvyai ngati nene, nilinga kuvaganisa voha kwa njila yoyoha, changali kulonda chiyonjokesu changu namwene nambu nikuvalondela chiyonjokesu vangi voha, muni vasanguliwayi.
