1 Corinthians 10
1 For I wish not ye should be ignorant, brethren, 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, immersed themselves 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, did eat [the same] spiritual food,
Wɔn nyinaa dii honhom fam aduan
4 And, all, drank, the same spiritual drink, —for they continued to drink of the spiritual rock that followed 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 Nevertheless, with the most of them, God, was not well-pleased, for they were strewed along in the desert.
Eyinom nyinaa akyi no, na Onyankopɔn ani nsɔ wɔn mu pii, enti na wɔn amu guguu basaa wɔ sare no so hɔ.
6 But, in these things, they became, ensamples for us, to the end we should not be covetous of evil things, even as, they, also coveted;
Mprempren, eyinom nyinaa yɛ nhwɛso ma yɛn na ɛbɔ yɛn kɔkɔ nso sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ yedi bɔne akyi sɛnea wɔyɛɛ no,
7 Neither become ye, idolaters, as some of them, —as it is written—The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to be making sport;
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 let us commit fornication, as, some of them, committed fornication, and there fell, in one day, three and twenty thousand;
Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ aguaman, sɛnea wɔn mu bi yɛe no na da koro wɔn mu mpem aduonu abiɛsa wuwui no.
9 Neither let us be putting the Lord to the test, as, some of them, put him to the test, and, by the serpents, were perishing;
Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛsɔ Awurade hwɛ sɛnea wɔn mu bi yɛ maa awɔ kekaa wɔn kunkum wɔn no.
10 Neither be ye murmuring, even, as some of them, murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ munwiinwii sɛnea wɔn mu bi yɛ maa ɔsɛe bɔfo sɛe wɔn no.
11 But, these things, by way of type, were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition, unto whom, the ends of the ages, have reached along. (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 that thinketh he is standing, let him take heed lest he fall.
Obiara a osusuw sɛ ogyina hɔ no, ɔnhwɛ yiye na wanhwe ase.
13 Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.
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 Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry, —
Enti me nnamfo pa, montwe mo ho mfi ahonisom ho.
15 As, to prudent men, I speak, —judge, ye, what I say: —
Mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ anyansafo. Asɛm a meka no mummua mfa.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not, a sharing together of the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not, a sharing together 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 loaf, one body, we, the many, are, for we, all, of the one loaf, partake.
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 Be looking at Israel after the flesh: —are not, they who eat the sacrifices, joint partakers with the altar?
Monhwɛ Israelman. Wɔn a wodi afɔre aduan no ne afɔremuka no wɔ ayɔnkoyɛ.
19 What, then, am I saying?—that, an idol-sacrifice, is anything? or that, an idol, is anything?
Mibisa se, afɔrebɔde a wɔde ama ohoni no yɛ biribi anaa ohoni no na ɔyɛ biribi?
20 On the contrary—that, the things which the nations sacrifice, unto demons, and not unto God, they sacrifice; and I wish not that ye should become, sharers together with 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 Ye cannot be drinking—a cup of the Lord, and a cup of demons; ye cannot be partaking of, a table of the Lord, and a 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 Or are we to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we mightier than he?
Anaa mopɛ sɛ yɛma Awurade twe ninkunu? Yegye di sɛ yɛyɛ den sen no ana?
23 All things are allowable—but, not all things, are profitable, —all things are allowable—but, not all things, upbuild.
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, be seeking, what concerneth himself, but that which concerneth some one else.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara pɛ ne nko ne yiyedi na mmom, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhwehwɛ afoforo nso yiyedi.
25 Whatsoever, in the market, is sold, eat, —asking no question, for conscience sake;
Tiboa nti mutumi tɔ biribiara a wɔtɔn wɔ gua so di a mummisa ho asɛm biara.
26 For, unto the Lord, belongeth the earth, and the fullness thereof.
Efisɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Asase ne nea ɛwɔ so nyinaa yɛ Awurade dea.”
27 If one of them who believe not invite you, and ye are disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you, eat, —asking no question, for conscience sake.
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 But, if anyone should say unto you, —This, is, a holy sacrifice, do not eat, for that man’s sake who disclosed it, and for conscience sake: —
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 But, conscience, I mean, not thine own, but the other’s, —for why is my freedom to be 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 If, I, with gratitude, partake, why am I to be defamed, as to 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, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do, all things to the glory of God.
Biribiara a mobɛyɛ no, sɛ moredidi o, sɛ morenom o, monyɛ mfa nhyɛ Onyankopɔn anuonyam.
32 Give no occasion of stumbling—whether to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God:
Monnyɛ biribiara mfa nhaw Yudafo anaa amanamanmufo anaa Onyankopɔn asafo.
33 Even as, I also, in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of the 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.
