1 Corinthians 10
1 For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, how that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
Bandeko, nalingi boyeba malamu likambo oyo: Bakoko na biso bazalaki bango nyonso na se ya lipata, bakatisaki bango nyonso ebale monene,
2 and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
babatisamaki bango nyonso mpo na Moyize kati na lipata mpe kati na ebale monene,
3 and did all eat the same spiritual meat;
baliaki bango nyonso bilei ya molimo ya ndenge moko,
4 and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.
mpe bamelaki bango nyonso mayi ya molimo ya ndenge moko; pamba te bazalaki komela na libanga ya molimo, oyo ezalaki kotambola elongo na bango; mpe libanga yango ezalaki Klisto.
5 Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Nzokande, Nzambe asepelaki te na mingi kati na bango; solo, babomaki bango kati na esobe.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
Ezali bandakisa mpo na biso, mpo ete tolula makambo mabe te ndenge bango balulaki.
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.
Bozala basambeli ya banzambe ya bikeko te, ndenge bamosusu kati na bango bazalaki, kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Bato bavandaki mpo na kolia mpe mpo na komela, mpe batelemaki mpo na kosakana. »
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Tosengeli te kosala pite, ndenge bamosusu kati na bango basalaki; mpe, na mokolo moko, bato nkoto tuku mibale na misato bakufaki.
9 Neither let us tempt the Lord, as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.
Tosengeli mpe te komeka Klisto, ndenge bamosusu kati na bango basalaki; mpe banyoka ebomaki bango mpo ete eswaki bango.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
Boyimaka-yimaka te ndenge bamosusu kati na bango bayimaki-yimaki, mpe anjelu mobebisi abomaki bango.
11 Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. (aiōn g165)
Makambo wana nyonso ekweyelaki bango mpo ete ezala ndakisa mpo na biso, mpe ekomamaki mpo na kokebisa biso oyo tokomi na tango ya suka. (aiōn g165)
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Yango wana, tika ete moto oyo azali kokanisa ete azali ya kotelema asala keba ete akweya te!
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.
Komekama oyo ekomelaki bino ekomelaka bato nyonso; mpe Nzambe azali Moyengebene; akotika te ete bomekama koleka makasi na bino. Kasi na tango ya komekama, akobongisela bino nzela ya kobima na komekama yango, mpe akopesa bino makasi ya kotelemela yango.
14 Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
Yango wana, balingami na ngai, bokima kosambela banzambe ya bikeko.
15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
Nazali koloba na bino lokola na bato ya mayele; botala bino moko soki makambo oyo nazali koloba ezali malamu to mabe.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ?
Boni, kopo ya elambo oyo, mpo na yango, tozongisaka matondi epai ya Nzambe, ekomisaka biso te moko na makila ya Klisto? Lipa oyo tokataka ekomisaka biso te moko na nzoto ya Klisto?
17 seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of the one bread.
Lokola lipa ezali kaka moko, biso nyonso tozali kosala nzoto kaka moko atako tozali ebele, pamba te biso nyonso tokabolaka lipa yango kaka moko.
18 Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they which eat the sacrifices communion with the altar?
Bokanisa nanu Isalaele! Boni, bato oyo baliaka banyama oyo epesami lokola mbeka bazalaka moko te na etumbelo?
19 What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
Nalingi koloba nini? Nalingi koloba ete misuni ya banyama oyo ebonzami lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, mpe yango moko nzambe ya ekeko, ezali na tina?
20 But [I say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with devils.
Te! Kasi lokola babonzaka bambeka na bango epai ya milimo mabe mpe epai ya oyo ezali Nzambe te, naboyi ete bozala moko na milimo mabe.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.
Bokoki te komela oyo ezali kati na kopo ya Nkolo mpe komela lisusu oyo ezali kati na kopo ya milimo mabe; bokoki te kolia na mesa ya Nkolo mpe kolia lisusu na mesa ya milimo mabe.
22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
Boni, tolingi nde kotumbola zuwa ya Nkolo? Boni, tozali makasi koleka Ye?
23 All things are lawful; but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful; but all things edify not.
Bolobaka: « Nazali na ndingisa ya kosala nyonso, » nzokande nyonso ezali na litomba te; « Nazali na ndingisa ya kosala nyonso, » nzokande nyonso elendisaka te.
24 Let no man seek his own, but [each] his neighbour’s [good].
Tika ete moto moko te aluka bolamu na ye moko kaka, kasi aluka mpe bolamu ya moto mosusu!
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience sake;
Boliaka nyonso oyo etekamaka na zando, na komipesa mituna te na tina na yango, noki te bobebisa mitema na bino.
26 for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
Pamba te mabele mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ezali ya Nkolo.
27 If one of them that believe not biddeth you [to a feast], and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
Soki moto oyo azali mondimi te abengisi yo, mpe ondimi kokende epai na ye, lia nyonso oyo bakopesa yo, na komipesa mituna te, noki te obebisa motema na yo.
28 But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake:
Kasi soki moto moko alobi na yo: « Mosuni oyo ebonzamaki lokola mbeka epai ya nzambe ya ekeko, » kolia yango te, likolo ya moto oyo akebisi yo mpe mpo ete obebisa te motema na yo.
29 conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
Awa, nazali koloba te na tina na motema na yo, kasi na tina na motema ya moto yango, pamba te mpo na nini motema ya moto mosusu elandela bonsomi na ngai?
30 If I by grace partake, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
Soki naliaka na kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe, mpo na nini kopamela ngai na tina na oyo, ngai, nazongiselaka matondi epai ya Nzambe?
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Boye, ezala kolia to komela, nyonso oyo bokoki kozala kosala, bosalaka nyonso mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe.
32 Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:
Bozalaka libaku te, ezala mpo na Bayuda, mpo na Bagreki to mpo na Lingomba ya Nzambe.
33 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the [profit] of the many, that they may be saved.
Yango wana, ngai, kati na makambo nyonso, nasalaka makasi mpo na kosepelisa bato nyonso; nalukaka litomba na ngai moko te, kasi nalukaka bolamu ya bato ebele, mpo ete babika.
