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,
Anuanom, mepɛ sɛ metwe mo adwene ba nsɛm a ɛtoo yɛn nenanom a wodii Mose akyi no so. Omununkum bɔɔ wɔn nyinaa ho ban maa wɔn nyinaa faa Po Kɔkɔɔ no mu asomdwoe mu.
2 and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;
Wɔbɔɔ wɔn nyinaa asu sɛ Mose akyidifo wɔ omununkum ne po no mu.
3 and all ate the same spiritual food,
Wɔn nyinaa dii honhom fam aduan
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
na wɔnom honhom fam anonne. Wɔnom honhom botan a na ɔne wɔn nam no mu nsu; na saa ɔbotan no yɛ Kristo no ankasa.
5 but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
Eyinom nyinaa akyi no, na Onyankopɔn ani nsɔ wɔn mu pii, enti na wɔn amu guguu basaa wɔ sare no so hɔ.
6 and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these desired.
Mprempren, eyinom nyinaa yɛ nhwɛso ma yɛn na ɛbɔ yɛn kɔkɔ nso sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ yedi bɔne akyi sɛnea wɔyɛɛ no,
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”;
na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛsom ahoni sɛnea wɔn mu bi yɛe no. Sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Nnipa no tenaa ase, didi nomee, na wogoruu abosongoru, yɛɛ ahuhude.”
8 neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ aguaman, sɛnea wɔn mu bi yɛe no na da koro wɔn mu mpem aduonu abiɛsa wuwui no.
9 neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents;
Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛsɔ Awurade hwɛ sɛnea wɔn mu bi yɛ maa awɔ kekaa wɔn kunkum wɔn no.
10 neither murmur, as also some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ munwiinwii sɛnea wɔn mu bi yɛ maa ɔsɛe bɔfo sɛe wɔn no.
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)
Eyinom nyinaa baa wɔn so de yɛɛ nhwɛso maa afoforo. Na wɔkyerɛw guu hɔ sɛ kɔkɔbɔ maa yɛn. Efisɛ yɛte hɔ sɛ ɛrenkyɛ na bere no aba awiei. (aiōn g165)
12 so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.
Obiara a osusuw sɛ ogyina hɔ no, ɔnhwɛ yiye na wanhwe ase.
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].
Sɔhwɛ biara a aba wʼakwan mu no yɛ nea ɛba nnipa akwan mu. Esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn di ne bɔhyɛ so nti, ɔremma ho kwan mma sɔhwɛ a ɛboro wʼahoɔden so nto wo. Sɛ sɔhwɛ ba wo so a ɔbɛma wo ahoɔden ama woatumi agyina ano na woanya ho nyansa nso.
14 For this reason, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
Enti me nnamfo pa, montwe mo ho mfi ahonisom ho.
15 as to wise men I speak—judge what I say.
Mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ anyansafo. Asɛm a meka no mummua mfa.
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?
Sɛ yɛnom kuruwa a wɔahyira so no ano a, na ɛnyɛ Kristo mogya ayɔnkofa no ana? Brodo a yebubu mu no nso, sɛ yedi a, na ɛnyɛ Kristo nipadua ayɔnkoyɛ ana?
17 Because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all partake of the one bread.
Esiane sɛ brodo no yɛ baako na yedi no wɔ ɔhonam koro mu nti, ɛwɔ mu sɛ yɛdɔɔso de, nanso yɛn nyinaa yɛ nnipa baako.
18 See Israel according to the flesh! Are those not eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?
Monhwɛ Israelman. Wɔn a wodi afɔre aduan no ne afɔremuka no wɔ ayɔnkoyɛ.
19 What do I say then? That an idol is anything? Or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything?
Mibisa se, afɔrebɔde a wɔde ama ohoni no yɛ biribi anaa ohoni no na ɔyɛ biribi?
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.
Dabi, asɛm a mereka ne sɛ, nea wɔde abɔ afɔre wɔ ɔbosonsomni afɔremuka so no, wɔde ama ahonhommɔne na ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn. Mempɛ sɛ mode mo ho bɛhyehyɛ ahonhommɔne.
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;
Morentumi nnom Awurade kuruwa ano na monsan nnom ahonhommɔne kuruwa ano. Saa ara na morentumi nnidi wɔ Awurade pon so na monsan nnidi wɔ ahonhommɔne pon nso so.
22 do we arouse the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
Anaa mopɛ sɛ yɛma Awurade twe ninkunu? Yegye di sɛ yɛyɛ den sen no ana?
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;
Wɔka se, “Woama yɛn ho kwan sɛ yɛnyɛ biribiara a yɛyɛ.” Nanso ɛnyɛ biribiara na eye. “Wɔama yɛn ho kwan sɛ yɛnyɛ biribiara.” Nanso ɛnyɛ biribiara na etumi boa yɛn.
24 let no one seek his own—but each another’s.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara pɛ ne nko ne yiyedi na mmom, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhwehwɛ afoforo nso yiyedi.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat-market, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
Tiboa nti mutumi tɔ biribiara a wɔtɔn wɔ gua so di a mummisa ho asɛm biara.
26 for the earth and its fullness [are] the LORD’s;
Efisɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Asase ne nea ɛwɔ so nyinaa yɛ Awurade dea.”
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;
Obi a ɔnyɛ ogyidini frɛ wo adidi na woyɛ wʼadwene sɛ wobɛkɔ a, tiboa nti, aduan a ɔde bɛma wo biara no, di a wummisa ho asɛm biara.
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:
Nanso sɛ obi ka kyerɛ wo se, “Wɔde saa aduan yi maa ahoni” a, esiane nea ɔbɔɔ wo saa amanneɛ no tiboa nti, nni saa aduan no.
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?
Ɛno nyɛ wo tiboa, na ɛyɛ onipa a ɔbɔɔ wo saa amanneɛ no tiboa. Obi bebisa se, “Adɛn nti na obi tiboa siw mʼahofadi ho kwan?
30 And if I partake thankfully, why am I spoken of [as] evil, for that for which I give thanks?
Sɛ meda Awurade ase wɔ mʼaduan ho a, adɛn nti na aduan a mada ho ase no obi ka ho asɛm?”
31 Whether, then, you eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
Biribiara a mobɛyɛ no, sɛ moredidi o, sɛ morenom o, monyɛ mfa nhyɛ Onyankopɔn anuonyam.
32 become offenseless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the Assembly of God;
Monnyɛ biribiara mfa nhaw Yudafo anaa amanamanmufo anaa Onyankopɔn asafo.
33 as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many—that they may be saved.
Monyɛ sɛnea meyɛ no. Mema obiara ani gye nea meyɛ ho a minnwen mʼankasa me yiyedi ho, na mmom midwen yɛn nyinaa yiyedi ho sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobegye wɔn nkwa.
