1 Corinthians 10
1 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
Bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu enenda mumenye jinu kutya, bhalata bheswe bhaliga bhali emwalo ye elile na bhona nibhalabha munyanja.
2 and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;
Nibhabhatijibhwa bhabhe bha Musa munda ye elile na munda ya inyanja,
3 and all ate the same spiritual food,
ka bhona bhaliye ebhilyo bhiliya ebhyo omwoyo.
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
Ka bhona bhanyweye amanji galiya ago omwoyo. Kulwokubha bhanyweye okusoka kwitale elyo omwoyo linu lyabhalubhaga, na litale elyo lyaliga lili Kristo.
5 but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
Nawe Nyamuanga atakondelesibhwe nabhafu, ne emitumbi jebhwe jalalile ibhara.
6 and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these desired.
Mbe ago gona galiga gali bhijejekanyo kwiswe, koleleki eswe chasiga kubha bhanu bha inamba yokwenda amabhibhi lwakutyo abhene bhakolele.
7 Neither become idolaters, as certain of them, as it has been written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play”;
Mwasiga okulamya ebhisusano, lwa kutyo abhandi bhaliga bhali. Jinu jili lwakutyo jandikilwe, “Abhanu bheyanjile ansi nibhalya no okunywa, nibhemelegulu okubhina na inamba yo obhusiani.”
8 neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
Chitakola obhusiani lwa abhandi kutyo bhakolele. Lunaku lumwi abhanu bhiumbi makumi gabhili na bhasatu nibhafwa kulwa injuno eyo.
9 neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents;
Chasiga okumusaka Kristo, lwa abhandi kutyo bhakolele nibhanyamulwa na jinjoka.
10 neither murmur, as also some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
Ka ona mwasiga okulukuma, lwakutyo abhandi ona bhalukumile nibhanyamulwa na malaika wo olufu.
11 And all these things happened to those persons as types, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages came, (aiōn g165)
Mbe amagambo lwago gakolekene lwe ebhijejekanyo kwiswe. Nigandikwa koleleki gachionye - bhanu chakingiwe na jinsiku jobhutelo. (aiōn g165)
12 so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.
Kulwejo bhuli munu unu kelola ati emeleguyu emenye asiga kugwa.
13 No temptation has taken you—except that of man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above what you are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].
Litaliwo esakwa linu lyabhabhwene lili egenyi ku bhana bhanu. Nawe Nyamuanga nimulengelesi. Atabhasiga mukasakwa okutambuka indengo yemwe. Amwi na lisakwa elyo, omwene alibholesha omulyango gwo okutulamo, koleleki mubhone okwikomesha.
14 For this reason, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
Kulwejo, bhendwa bhani, mulibhilime lilamya lye ebhisusano.
15 as to wise men I speak—judge what I say.
Enaika nemwe lwa abhanu bho obhwenge, koleleki mulamule ingulu ya linu enaika.
16 The cup of the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? The bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?
Echikombe cha libhando chinu echibheleleka, bhutali ubhwikofyanya bhwa amanyinga ga Kristo? Omukate guliya echibhegaga, bhutali obhumwi bhwo omubhili gwa Kristo?
17 Because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all partake of the one bread.
Kulwokubha omukate ni gumwi, eswe abhafu chili mubhili gumwi. Eswe bhona echilamila mukate gumwi chili amwi.
18 See Israel according to the flesh! Are those not eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?
Mulole abhanu bha Israeli: Enibhusha, bhanu bhona abhalya echitambo bhatali amwi kubhigabhilo?
19 What do I say then? That an idol is anything? Or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything?
Mbe enaika chinuki? Ati echisusano ni chinu chinu chikobhele? Amo ebhilyo bhinu bhisosibhwe kubhisusano ni chinu chinu chikobhele?
20 [No, ] but that the things that the nations sacrifice—they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.
Nawe enaikilila ingulu ye ebhinu bhinu abhasosha Abhanyamaanga bhili bhiyanwa, lwakutyo abhasosha ebhinu ebhyo kumasambwa ntikwo mu Nyamuanga. Anye nitakwenda emwe mugwatane na amasambwa!
21 You are not able to drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of demons; you are not able to partake of the table of the LORD and of the table of demons;
Mutakutula okunywela echikombe cho Omukama necha amasambwa. Mutakutula okubha no obhumwi kumeja yo Omukama na kumeja ya amasambwa.
22 do we arouse the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
Ati chitamuyana Omukama libhubha? Echimukila amanaga?
23 All things are lawful to me, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful to me, but not all things build up;
“Ebhinu bhyona ebhikilisibhwa,” nawe bhitakondele bhyona. “Ebhinu bhyona ebhikilisibhwa,” nawe bring bhyona bhinu ebhyumbaka abhanu.
24 let no one seek his own—but each another’s.
Atalio nolwo na umwi unu akalondele amakonde gaye enyele. Okusiga ago, bhuli munu akalondele amakonde agowejabho.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat-market, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
Omutula okulya bhuli chinu chinu echigusibhwa musokoni obhutabhusha-bhusha kwa injuno yo omwoyo.
26 for the earth and its fullness [are] the LORD’s;
Kwo kubha, “echalo ni mali yo Omukama na bhyona bhinu bhilimo.”
27 and if anyone of the unbelieving calls you, and you wish to go, eat all that is set before you, inquiring nothing, because of the conscience;
Unu atalimwikilisha akabhakoka kwilya, na mukenda okugenda, mulye chona chona echo kabhayana, mutabhusha amabhusho ago omwoyo.
28 and if anyone may say to you, “This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,” do not eat, because of that one who showed [it], and of the conscience, for the LORD’s [is] the earth and its fullness:
Nawe omunu akabhabhwila ati, “ebhilyo bhinu bhisokene me ebhiyanwa bhya abhapagani,” mutalya. Okubha jinu ejisasa unu abhabhwila kutyo, na kulwa injuno yo omwoyo gwaye.
29 and conscience, I say, not of yourself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another’s conscience?
Anye nitakwaikilila emyoyo jemwe, tali omwoyo gwo oundi uliya. Kulwokubha kubhaki obhwanya bhulamulwe no omwoyo gwo omunu undi?
30 And if I partake thankfully, why am I spoken of [as] evil, for that for which I give thanks?
Labha anye enilya nokusima, kubhaki nifumilwe echinu chinu namalile okuchisima?
31 Whether, then, you eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
Kulwejo, chonachona chinu omulya amo okunywa, amo chonachona chinu omukola, mukole gona kulwa injuno ya likusho lya Nyamuanga.
32 become offenseless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the Assembly of God;
Mutaja okuyabhisha Abhayaudi amo Abhayunani, amo likanisa lya Nyamuanga.
33 as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many—that they may be saved.
Mulegeje lwakutyo anye enilegeja okukondelesha abhanu bhona ku magambo gona. Nitakulonda okwiyendeja anye omwene, tali enendeja abhafu. Enikola ejo kutyo koleleki bhabhone okuchunguka.
