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,
Mobanse bame ndayandanga kwambeti mwanuke bintu byalenshikila bamashali betu bakulukulu abo balikukonkela Mose. Bonse balatampuka lwenje lufubela kabali batanguninwa ne likumbi.
2 and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;
Bonse balabatishiwa mulikumbi ne mulwenje kulesheti balikukonkela Mose,
3 and all ate the same spiritual food,
bonse balalya cakulya ca ku mushimu.
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
Kayi bonse balanwa cakunwa cakumushimu cimo, mulibwe lya candanshi lyakumushimu ilyo lyalikuya nabo pamo. Ilyo libwe lyacandanshi ni Klistu.
5 but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
Nikukabeco Lesa nkalikuba wakondwa nebantu nabambi pakati pabo ecebo cakendi balafwa kayi bitumbi byabo byalikuba mbwee mucinyika.
6 and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these desired.
Byonsebi byalikuba bitondesho bishikutucenjesha afwe, kwambeti katutabanga ne lunkumbwa lwaipa mbuli ndobalikukute.
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”;
Katutakambililanga tumbwanga mbuli ncobalikwinsa nabambi. Mbuli ncecalembwa mu mabala, “Bantu balekala panshi kulya ne kunwa, balemana ne kushana kwasunsa bukome.”
8 neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
Katutensanga bupombo mbuli nabambi ncobalikwinsa, ico calashinisha bantu bakwana bina makumi abili ne bitatu pabusuba bumo cebo cabupombo.
9 neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents;
Katutamukalalishanga Klistu mbuli ncobalensa nabambi abo balalumwa njoka ne kufwa.
10 neither murmur, as also some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
Katutabanga bantu beshikutongauka mbuli ncobalikuba nabambi abo mbwalashina mungelo.
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)
Byonsebi byalenshikila bamashali betu kwambeti bibe bitondesho kuli nabambi. Byalalembwa kwambeti nenjafwe tucanepo lwiyo. Pakwinga tulipepi kucindi cakumapwlilisho acishi. (aiōn g165)
12 so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.
Uyo layeyengeti washimpa mulushomo, asheko mano kwambeti katawa.
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].
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 For this reason, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
Mobanse bame mwasunika, kamutantamukani kukukambilila tumbwanga.
15 as to wise men I speak—judge what I say.
Ndambanga kulinjamweti bantu bakute mano. Mulyomboloshe mobene pabintu ibi mbyondamba.
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?
Sena, twanwanga nkomeshi yakulumbaisha pamulalilo wa Mwami, nkatukute kuyabana milopa ya Klistu? Kayi twakomaunanga shinkwa ne kulya, sena nkatukute kuyabana mubili wa Klistu?
17 Because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all partake of the one bread.
Pali shinkwa umo, afwe twense nambi tobangi, tuli mubili umo. Pakwinga twense tukute kuyabana mushinkwa umo.
18 See Israel according to the flesh! Are those not eating the sacrifices in the fellowship 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 do I say then? That an idol is anything? Or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything?
Sena apa ndapandululunga cani? Sena ndambangeti milumbo ikute kubengwa kutumbwanga ikute ncito? Nambi sena ndambangeti kambwanga kakute ncito?
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.
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 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;
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 arouse the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
Sena tulayandanga kwambeti Lesa abe ne bufuba? Sena mulayeyengeti tukute ngofu kumupita Lesa?
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;
Nikukabeti twasuminishiwa kwinsa bintu byonse, nomba nteko kwambeti byonse byaina. Twasuminishiwa kwinsa bintu byonse, nomba nteko kwambeti byonse bikute kunyamfwa.
24 let no one seek his own—but each another’s.
Muntu kataliyandilanga enka bintu byaina, nsombi ayandileko banendi bintu byaina.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat-market, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
Mwasunguluka kulya nyama iliyonse njobalolishinga pamusena wa makwebo kwakubula kwipusha mipusho yakumya kulushomo ndomukute.
26 for the earth and its fullness [are] the LORD’s;
Pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Cishi capanshi nebintu byonse bilimo nibya Lesa.”
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;
Na muntu wakunsa umukuwa kuya kulya cakulya, amwe mwasumina kuya, kamuya mulye ciliconse nceti enga amupe. Kamutaya mwipushe mipusho yakumya kulushomo ndomukute.
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:
Nsombi namwine umwambileti, “Nyama iyi yanga yabengwa kutumbwanga,” Nyama ilico kamutailya sobwe, pakwinga lamwambili mwine.
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?
Nteko kwambeti njamwe mwelela kupenga mumoyo sobwe, nsombi uyo lakwambili. Naumbi ngawipusheti, “Nipacebo cini kusunguluka kwakame ngakufwekelelwa nemuntu lapengenga mwine mu moyo?
30 And if I partake thankfully, why am I spoken of [as] evil, for that for which I give thanks?
Nandalumbunga Lesa pacakulya, muntu ngaunyanshila cani pacakulya ncondatambulunga mwakulumba Lesa?”
31 Whether, then, you eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
Neco, nambi mulalinga nambi mulanunga nambi mulenshinga ciliconse kacibani cishikulemekesha Lesa.
32 become offenseless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the Assembly of God;
Bwikalo bwenu bube bwaina butalete nsuntu ku Bayuda, nambi kubantu bakunsa, kayi ne kumubungano wa bantu ba Lesa.
33 as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many—that they 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.
