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].
Sekarang, saya ingin menjelaskan hal ini kepada kalian, saudara-saudariku. Nenek moyang kita hidup di bawah Awan dan mereka semua melewati lautan.
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.
Secara simbolis, mereka seperti dipermandikan menjadi pengikut Musa di Awan dan di laut.
3 All [those ancestors of ours ate the same food that God] miraculously [provided].
Mereka makan makanan rohani yang sama,
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].
dan minum minuman rohani yang sama, sebab mereka “minum dari batu besar rohani” yang menemani mereka, yaitu Kristus.
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.
Namun demikian, Allah tidak senang dengan sebagian besar dari mereka, dan mereka dihancurkan di padang gurun.
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.
Pengalaman-pengalaman ini hendaklah menjadi contoh bagi kita agar kita tidak menginginkan yang jahat, seperti yang mereka lakukan.
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].”
Janganlah menyembah berhala, seperti yang dilakukan oleh beberapa orang dari antara mereka, seperti yang dicatat oleh Kitab Suci: “Orang-orang itu mengadakan pesta dan minum sampai mabuk, dan memuaskan diri dalam penyembahan berhala.”
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.
Janganlah kita melakukan dosa seksual, seperti yang mereka lakukan, sehingga mengakibatkan kematian 23.000 orang dalam satu hari.
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].
Janganlah kita mencobai Allah, seperti yang dilakukan oleh beberapa orang dari mereka sehingga dan dibunuh oleh ular-ular.
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].
Janganlah bersungut-sungut kepada Allah, seperti beberapa orang dari mereka, dan mati di tangan malaikat penghancur.
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)
Segala sesuatu yang terjadi atas mereka adalah contoh bagi kita dan dituliskan untuk mengingatkan kita, yang hidup di masa akhir zaman ini. (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].
Jadi jika kalian merasa bahwa kalian cukup kuat untuk tetap berdiri teguh — berhati-hatilah agar kalian tidak jatuh!
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].
Pencobaan yang Saudara-saudari hadapi, tidak lebih besar daripada yang dihadapi oleh orang lain, dan Allah setia kepada kita. Dia tidak akan membiarkan kamu semua menghadapi pencobaan yang tidak mampu kamu tanggung, dan ketika kamu menghadapinya, Dia akan menyediakan jalan keluar, sehingga kamu mampu menanggungnya dengan sabar.
14 So, [I say to] you people whom I love, [avoid] worshipping idols [just like you would] run away from [anything that is dangerous].
Jadi, teman-teman baik saya, jauhkanlah dirimu dari penyembahan berhala.
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].
Saya berbicara dengan kalian sebagai orang-orang pandai. Silahkan kalian putuskan sendiri apakah ajaran saya ini benar atau salah.
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]
Ketika kita ikut serta dalam Perjamuan Kudus dan mengucap syukur untuk air anggur kudus, bukankah itu menjadi gambaran bahwa kita turut mengambil bagian dalam darah Kristus? Demikian juga ketika kita makan roti yang dibagi-bagikan dalam perjamuan kudus, bukankah itu merupakan gambaran bahwa kita turut mengambil bagian dalam tubuh Kristus?
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.
Dengan makan roti bersama dari satu roti yang utuh, menunjukkan bahwa sekalipun kita banyak, tetapi kita adalah anggota satu tubuh.
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].
Lihatlah orang Israel. Bukankah mereka yang memakan korban yang dipersembahkan di atas mezbah itu berbagi bersama?
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].
Apa yang saya katakan kemudian? Bahwa apa pun yang dikorbankan untuk berhala berarti apa saja, atau bahwa berhala memiliki keberadaan nyata? Tentu saja tidak!
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!
Orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah, sesungguhnya memberikan persembahan kepada setan, dan bukan kepada Allah. Dan saya tidak ingin kalian mengambil bagian dalam penyembahan kepada setan!
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]
Kamu tidak boleh minum di meja Tuhan sekaligus minum di meja setan juga. Kamu tidak boleh makan di meja Tuhan sekaligus makan di meja setan juga.
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!]
Apakah kita mencoba membuat Tuhan cemburu? Apakah kita lebih kuat dari dia?
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.
Ada di antara kalian yang berkata, “Saya bebas berbuat apa saja” — tetapi tidak semua kebebasan yang diperbuat itu berguna! “Saya boleh bertindak sesuka hati saya” — tapi tidak semuanya menguatkan orang lain.
24 No one should try to benefit [only] himself. Instead, each person should try to benefit other people [spiritually].
Kamu seharusnya tidak memperhatikan diri kamu sendiri, tetapi untuk tetangga kalian.
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].
Makanlah apa saja yang dijual di pasar tanpa bertanya karena hati nuranimu,
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].
sebab “bumi dan segala isinya adalah milik Allah.”
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].
Jika seorang yang bukan pengikut Kristus mengundang kamu makan di rumahnya, dan kalian setuju untuk berkunjung, makanlah apa yang disajikannya kepada kamu, tanpa mengajukan pertanyaan karena hati nurani kamu.
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].
Tetapi jika seseorang memberitahu kepada kamu, “Makanan ini sudah dipersembahkan kepada berhala,” jangan makan makanan itu demi orang yang memberitahukan kepada kamu dan demi hati nurani orang itu.
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.
Namun mungkin ada di antara kalian yang bertanya, mengapa saya harus diatur dan kebebasan yang saya miliki dibatasi karena pertimbangan pemahaman orang lain?
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]!
Jika saya memilih untuk makan makanan itu dengan disertai ucapan syukur, mengapa saya harus menerima kritikan dari orang lain?
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.
Jadi pastikan bahwa ketika kita makan atau minum ataupun melakukan sesuatu, biarlah semua itu membawa kemuliaan bagi Allah.
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.
Janganlah melakukan sesuatu yang menyinggung orang lain, baik itu orang Yahudi, orang bukan Yahudi, maupun kepada jemaat Allah —
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].
sama seperti saya mencoba agar setiap tingkah laku saya bisa menyenangkan berbagai golongan orang. Saya tidak memikirkannya untuk mendatangkan keuntungan bagi diri saya sendiri, melainkan apa yang mendatangkan keuntungan bagi mereka, agar mereka bisa diselamatkan.
