1 Corinthians 10
1 My fellow believers, I want to remind you about our(exc) [Jewish] ancestors. They were all under the cloud [by which God miraculously led them and protected them when they left Egypt with Moses]. All those ancestors crossed the [Red] Sea [after God miraculously made the water separate so that they could walk through it].
Ta ishato, taani hintte hayssa akeekana mela koyays. Nu aawati ubbay shaarappe garssara hamuttidosona; ubbay abbaa pinnidosona.
2 God caused all of them to begin to live under the authority of [MTY] Moses [when they walked] under that cloud and [walked through the Red] Sea.
Entti Musera issifanaw shaaraninne abban xammaqettidosna.
3 All [those ancestors of ours ate the same food that God] miraculously [provided].
Entti ubbay issi ayyaana kathaa midosona.
4 They all drank water that [God] miraculously [provided]. That is, they all drank water that God miraculously made come out of the rock. That rock was [a symbol of] [MET] Christ, who went with them. [So we conclude that God helped all of those people in many ways].
Qassi ubbay issi ayyaana ushshaa uyidosona. Entti banttana kaalliya ayyaana zaallafe pulttida ushshaa uyidosona; he zaallayka Kiristtoosa.
5 However, [we also conclude that] God was angry [LIT] with most of those people [because they sinned against him. He caused almost all of them to die, and as] a result their bodies were scattered in the desert.
Shin Xoossay enttafe darotan ufayttiboonna gisho, entta ahay bazzo biittan wodhdhidi attis.
6 Those things [that happened long ago] became examples to teach us [the following things]: We should not desire to [do] evil things as those people desired to do.
Entti iitabaa amottidayssada, nukka iitabaa amottonna mela hessi ubbay nuus leemiso gidis.
7 We should not worship idols as many of those people did. [Remember that Moses] wrote, “The people sat down. They ate and drank [to honor the golden calf that they had just made]. Then they got up to dance [immorally].”
Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Asay maanawunne uyanaw uttidosona; qassi yexxanaw denddidosona” geetettidayssada enttafe issoti issoti eeqas goynnidayssa mela hintte eeqas goynnofite.
8 We should not have sexual relations with someone to whom we are not married, as many of them did. As a result, God [punished them by] causing 23,000 people to die in [only] one day.
Enttafe issoti issoti laymatidayssada nu laymatanaw bessenna. Hessa gaason enttafe issi gallas laatamanne heedzu mukulay hayqqis.
9 We should not try to see how much we can sin without the Lord punishing us. Some of them did that, and as a result they died because [poisonous] snakes [bit them].
Enttafe issoti issoti Godaa paaccidi shooshan dukettidi hayqqidayssada nu Godaa paaccanaw bessenna.
10 We should not complain [about what God does]. Some of them did that, and as a result an angel destroyed them. [So God will certainly punish us if we sin like they did].
Enttafe issoti issoti zuuzummidi hayqo ehiya kiitanchchuwan dhayidayssada hintteka zuuzummofite.
11 All those things [that happened to our ancestors long ago] are examples for us. [Moses] wrote those things to warn us [who are living at this time which is near the end]. We are the people for whom God has done [the things that he decided to do in] the previous periods of time. (aiōn g165)
Ha entta bolla gakkida ubbay nu naagettana mela nuus leemiso gidis. Qassi wode wurssethaa bolla de7iya nuus timirtte gidana mela ha ubbay xaafettis. (aiōn g165)
12 So [I say this to] all those who confidently [think that they will always] steadfastly continue to [believe what God said and will never disobey what he commanded]: Be careful that you [(sg)] do not sin [when you are tempted].
Hessa gisho, ta eqqas giya oonikka kunddonna mela bana naago.
13 [Remember that] your desires to sin are the same desires that other people have. But when you are tempted to sin, you can trust God [to help you]. He will not permit you to be tempted {anything to tempt you} more than you are able to resist. Instead, when you are tempted {things tempt you}, he will also provide a way [for you] to endure it [without sinning].
Ase ubbaa gakkiya paaceppe attin dumma paacey hinttena gakkibeenna. Hintte wolqqay dandda7eyssafe aadhdhiya paacen hintte paacettana mela aathi immonna Xoossay ammanettidayssa. Hinttena paacey gakkiya wode he paaciya I hinttena dandda7isana. Qassi he paaciyappe hintte keyana ogiya I giigisana.
14 So, [I say to] you people whom I love, [avoid] worshipping idols [just like you would] run away from [anything that is dangerous].
Hiza, ta al77o ishato, eeqa goynnofe haakkite.
15 It is to people who [think that they] are wise that I write. So, you, as wise people, judge whether what I am writing [is true].
Hintte wozanaama asi gidida gisho ta hayssa odays. Taani geyssi tuma gideyssa hinttee hintte huu7en pirddite.
16 [During the Lord’s Supper, after we ask God to] bless (the [wine]/the [juice]) [in the] cup, we give thanks for it [and drink it]. By doing that, we certainly are [RHQ] sharing in what Christ [did for us when] his blood [flowed from his body when he died. During the Lord’s Supper, when we break] the bread [and eat it], we are certainly sharing in [MTY] what Christ [did for us when] his body [suffered for us on the cross]. [RHQ]
Nuuni Xoossaa galatidi shaakettiya anjjo xuu7ay Kiristtoosa suuthaara issifetethi de7eyssa gidenneyye? Qassi nuuni bathiya uythay Kiristtoosa ashuwara issifetethi de7eyssa gidenneyye?
17 Because it is one loaf of bread that we [break and eat during the Lord’s Supper, it symbolizes that] we who are many are one group, because we all eat from the one loaf.
Nuuni daro gidikkoka uythay issino, nu he issi uythaa shaakettiya gisho issi asatethi.
18 Consider [what happens when] the Israeli people [eat the food that the priests] sacrifice on the altar [outside the Temple]. They participate in [what the priests do at] [MTY] the altar. [RHQ] [Similarly, if you eat food that non-believers have offered to an idol in a temple, you are participating in their worship of the idol there].
Ane Isra7eele asay oothidayssa akeekite. Yarshshettida yarshshuwa meyssati yarshsho bessaara issifetethi baaweyye?
19 By saying that, [I] do not mean that offering food to an idol makes it anything [more than just ordinary food [RHQ].] I do not mean that an idol is anything [more than just an idol].
Taani ay gaanaw koyada gaynaa? Eeqas yarshshettida kathay woykko eeqay pathiyabaa gidenna.
20 No! Instead, I mean that what people sacrifice [to idols], they are sacrificing to demons, not to God. So, [if you eat food that has been sacrificed to idols, you are participating in worshipping the demons that the idols represent]. And I do not want you to participate in worshipping demons!
Entti yarshshey Xoossaas gidonnashin, tuna ayyaanatassa. Hessa gisho, hinttew tuna ayyaanatara issifetethi daana mela koyikke.
21 When you drink the [grape juice/wine in] [MTY] the cup [at the Lord’s Supper], you cannot participate in the [blessings that] the Lord [Jesus] brought to us and at the same time drink the [wine in the] [MTY] cup that people offer to demons! When you eat at the Lord’s table, you cannot participate in the blessings the Lord provided [MTY] when he died for us and at the same time participate in the things that represent demons [by eating food that has been sacrificed to idols]
Hintte Godaa xuu7appe uyishe, qassi tuna ayyaanata xuu7appe uyanaw dandda7ekketa. Godaa gaytappe mishe qassi tuna ayyaanata gaytappe maanaw dandda7ekketa.
22 [If you participate in honoring demons in that way], you will certainly make the Lord very angry [RHQ]! (Remember that you are certainly not stronger than he is./Do you think that you are stronger than he is?) [RHQ] [Certainly not, so you will not escape his punishing you if you honor demons in that way!]
Nu hessa oothidi Godaa yiloynoo? Nu iyappe aadhdhiya minoyye?
23 [Some people say], “[God] permits [believers to do] anything.” But [I say that] not everything that people do benefits [those who do it! Yes, some people say], “God permits [believers to do] all things.” But not everything that people do helps them to become [spiritually] mature.
Hintte, “Ubbabaa oothonna mela diggiyabay baawa” geeta, shin ubbay maaddenna. Hintte, “Ubbabaa oothonna mela diggiyabay baawa” geeta, shin ubbabay dichchenna.
24 No one should try to benefit [only] himself. Instead, each person should try to benefit other people [spiritually].
Issi issi asi, hara asi maaddiyabaa qoppanaw bessesppe attin bana maaddiyabaa xalaala qoppofo.
25 [This is what you should do]: Eat any [food] that is sold {that people sell} in the market. Do not ask questions [to find out if that food has been offered] {[someone offered that food]} [to idols, just] because you think it would be wrong [to eat such food].
Hintte kahaa sidhen gelssiya oysha denthonna giyan bayzettiya ashuwa coo miite.
26 [Remember that the Psalmist wrote], “Everything on the earth belongs to [the] Lord [God because he created it!]” [So, food that has been offered to idols belongs to the Lord, not to the idols, and you may eat it].
Ays giikko, “Sa7aynne sa7an de7iya ubbay Godaassa.”
27 If a non-believer invites you to a meal, go if you want to, and eat any food that is set {that [he] sets} before you. Do not ask [whether it was offered to idols, just] because you think that it would be wrong [to eat such food].
Issi ammanonna asi hinttena imatanaw koyidi xeegikko baanaw koykko biite. Hintte kahan medhettiya oyshan sidhonna hintte sinthe aathiyabaa ubbaa miite.
28 But if someone says to you, “This is food that was sacrificed [to an idol],” do not eat it, for the sake of the person who told that to you, and also because someone there may think that it is wrong [to eat such food].
Shin issi asi, “Hayssi eeqas yarshshettidabaa” giikko, he hinttew odida addiya gishonne hintte kaha gisho he kathaa mooppite.
29 I do not mean that you [should be concerned about whether it is all right to eat such food]. What I mean is that you should be concerned about others who may think that it is wrong to eat such food. Since I know that I (am free/have the right) [to eat such food without God punishing me], no one should [RHQ] say that what I am doing is wrong just because he himself thinks that it is wrong.
Taani, kaha gisho gey he hinttew odida uraa kaha guussufe attin hintte kaha gidenna. Hara asa kaha gisho gada taani ta la77atethaa bolla ays pirddo?
30 If I thank [God] for the food when I eat [food that has been offered to an idol], no one should criticize me for eating food for which I have thanked God [RHQ]!
Taani miya kathaa Xoossaa galatada miikko balidaada ays borettiyana?
31 So [I say to you in conclusion], when you eat [food], or drink [something], or do anything else, do everything in order that [people will] praise God.
Hiza, hintte ay miikko ay uyikko, woykko ay oothikokka ubbabaa Xoossaa bonchchos oothite.
32 Do not do anything that would hinder Jews or Greeks [from becoming believers], and do not do things that would encourage members of God’s congregations to sin.
Ayhudeta gidin Giriketa gidin woykko Xoossaa woosa keethi gidin ooddeskka dhube gidoppite.
33 [Do as I do]. I try to please everyone in every way. I do this by not seeking to benefit myself. Instead, I try to benefit many others, in order that they may be saved {that [God] may save them} [from the guilt of their sins].
Taani ubba wode darota ashshanaw entti maaddettiya oge koyaysippe attin tana maaddiya oge koyikke.
