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].
१हे भाइयों, मैं नहीं चाहता, कि तुम इस बात से अज्ञात रहो, कि हमारे सब पूर्वज बादल के नीचे थे, और सब के सब समुद्र के बीच से पार हो गए।
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.
२और सब ने बादल में, और समुद्र में, मूसा का बपतिस्मा लिया।
3 All [those ancestors of ours ate the same food that God] miraculously [provided].
३और सब ने एक ही आत्मिक भोजन किया।
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].
४और सब ने एक ही आत्मिक जल पीया, क्योंकि वे उस आत्मिक चट्टान से पीते थे, जो उनके साथ-साथ चलती थी; और वह चट्टान मसीह था।
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.
५परन्तु परमेश्वर उनमें से बहुतों से प्रसन्न ना था, इसलिए वे जंगल में ढेर हो गए।
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.
६ये बातें हमारे लिये दृष्टान्त ठहरीं, कि जैसे उन्होंने लालच किया, वैसे हम बुरी वस्तुओं का लालच न करें।
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].”
७और न तुम मूरत पूजनेवाले बनो; जैसे कि उनमें से कितने बन गए थे, जैसा लिखा है, “लोग खाने-पीने बैठे, और खेलने-कूदने उठे।”
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.
८और न हम व्यभिचार करें; जैसा उनमें से कितनों ने किया और एक दिन में तेईस हजार मर गये।
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].
९और न हम प्रभु को परखें; जैसा उनमें से कितनों ने किया, और साँपों के द्वारा नाश किए गए।
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].
१०और न तुम कुड़कुड़ाओ, जिस रीति से उनमें से कितने कुड़कुड़ाए, और नाश करनेवाले के द्वारा नाश किए गए।
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)
११परन्तु ये सब बातें, जो उन पर पड़ीं, दृष्टान्त की रीति पर थीं; और वे हमारी चेतावनी के लिये जो जगत के अन्तिम समय में रहते हैं लिखी गईं हैं। (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].
१२इसलिए जो समझता है, “मैं स्थिर हूँ,” वह चौकस रहे; कि कहीं गिर न पड़े।
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].
१३तुम किसी ऐसी परीक्षा में नहीं पड़े, जो मनुष्य के सहने के बाहर है: और परमेश्वर विश्वासयोग्य है: वह तुम्हें सामर्थ्य से बाहर परीक्षा में न पड़ने देगा, वरन् परीक्षा के साथ निकास भी करेगा; कि तुम सह सको।
14 So, [I say to] you people whom I love, [avoid] worshipping idols [just like you would] run away from [anything that is dangerous].
१४इस कारण, हे मेरे प्यारों मूर्तिपूजा से बचे रहो।
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].
१५मैं बुद्धिमान जानकर, तुम से कहता हूँ: जो मैं कहता हूँ, उसे तुम परखो।
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]
१६वह धन्यवाद का कटोरा, जिस पर हम धन्यवाद करते हैं, क्या वह मसीह के लहू की सहभागिता नहीं? वह रोटी जिसे हम तोड़ते हैं, क्या मसीह की देह की सहभागिता नहीं?
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.
१७इसलिए, कि एक ही रोटी है तो हम भी जो बहुत हैं, एक देह हैं क्योंकि हम सब उसी एक रोटी में भागी होते हैं।
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].
१८जो शरीर के भाव से इस्राएली हैं, उनको देखो: क्या बलिदानों के खानेवाले वेदी के सहभागी नहीं?
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].
१९फिर मैं क्या कहता हूँ? क्या यह कि मूर्ति का बलिदान कुछ है, या मूरत कुछ है?
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!
२०नहीं, बस यह, कि अन्यजाति जो बलिदान करते हैं, वे परमेश्वर के लिये नहीं, परन्तु दुष्टात्माओं के लिये बलिदान करते हैं और मैं नहीं चाहता, कि तुम दुष्टात्माओं के सहभागी हो।
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]
२१तुम प्रभु के कटोरे, और दुष्टात्माओं के कटोरे दोनों में से नहीं पी सकते! तुम प्रभु की मेज और दुष्टात्माओं की मेज दोनों के सहभागी नहीं हो सकते।
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!]
२२क्या हम प्रभु को क्रोध दिलाते हैं? क्या हम उससे शक्तिमान हैं?
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.
२३सब वस्तुएँ मेरे लिये उचित तो हैं, परन्तु सब लाभ की नहीं। सब वस्तुएँ मेरे लिये उचित तो हैं, परन्तु सब वस्तुओं से उन्नति नहीं।
24 No one should try to benefit [only] himself. Instead, each person should try to benefit other people [spiritually].
२४कोई अपनी ही भलाई को न ढूँढ़े वरन् औरों की।
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].
२५जो कुछ कसाइयों के यहाँ बिकता है, वह खाओ और विवेक के कारण कुछ न पूछो।
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].
२६“क्योंकि पृथ्वी और उसकी भरपूरी प्रभु की है।”
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].
२७और यदि अविश्वासियों में से कोई तुम्हें नेवता दे, और तुम जाना चाहो, तो जो कुछ तुम्हारे सामने रखा जाए वही खाओ: और विवेक के कारण कुछ न पूछो।
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].
२८परन्तु यदि कोई तुम से कहे, “यह तो मूरत को बलि की हुई वस्तु है,” तो उसी बतानेवाले के कारण, और विवेक के कारण न खाओ।
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.
२९मेरा मतलब, तेरा विवेक नहीं, परन्तु उस दूसरे का। भला, मेरी स्वतंत्रता दूसरे के विचार से क्यों परखी जाए?
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]!
३०यदि मैं धन्यवाद करके सहभागी होता हूँ, तो जिस पर मैं धन्यवाद करता हूँ, उसके कारण मेरी बदनामी क्यों होती है?
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.
३१इसलिए तुम चाहे खाओ, चाहे पीओ, चाहे जो कुछ करो, सब कुछ परमेश्वर की महिमा के लिये करो।
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.
३२तुम न यहूदियों, न यूनानियों, और न परमेश्वर की कलीसिया के लिये ठोकर के कारण बनो।
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].
३३जैसा मैं भी सब बातों में सब को प्रसन्न रखता हूँ, और अपना नहीं, परन्तु बहुतों का लाभ ढूँढ़ता हूँ, कि वे उद्धार पाएँ।
