< 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].
କାରଣ, ହେ ଭାଇମାନେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପିତୃ-ପୁରୁଷ ସମସ୍ତେ ମେଘ ତଳେ ଥିଲେ,
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.
ଆଉ ସମସ୍ତେ ସମୁଦ୍ର ମଧ୍ୟ ଦେଇ ଗମନ କଲେ, ପୁଣି, ସମସ୍ତେ ମେଘ ଓ ସମୁଦ୍ରରେ ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ ବାପ୍ତିଜିତ ହେଲେ,
3 All [those ancestors of ours ate the same food that God] miraculously [provided].
ଆଉ ସମସ୍ତେ ଏକ ପାରମାର୍ଥିକ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଭୋଜନ କଲେ
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].
ଓ ସମସ୍ତେ ଏକ ପାରମାର୍ଥିକ ପେୟ ପାନ କଲେ (ଯେଣୁ ସେମାନେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଅନୁବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ପାରମାର୍ଥିକ ଶୈଳରୁ ପାନ କରୁଥିଲେ, ଆଉ ସେହି ଶୈଳ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ),
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.
ତଥାପି ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ଅଧିକାଂଶଠାରେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସନ୍ତୋଷ ନ ଥିଲା, ତେଣୁ ସେମାନେ ପ୍ରାନ୍ତରରେ ମଲେ, ଏସମସ୍ତ କଥା ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଅଜ୍ଞାତ ଥାଅ, ଏହା ମୋହର ଇଚ୍ଛା ନୁହେଁ।
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.
ସେମାନେ ଯେପ୍ରକାର ମନ୍ଦ ବିଷୟରେ ଅଭିଳାଷୀ ହୋଇଥିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯେପରି ସେପ୍ରକାରେ ଅଭିଳାଷୀ ନ ହେଉ, ଏଥିନିମନ୍ତେ ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପକ୍ଷରେ ଦୃଷ୍ଟାନ୍ତ ସ୍ୱରୂପ ହୋଇଅଛି।
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].”
ଯେପରି ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କେତେକ ପ୍ରତିମାପୂଜକ ହେଲେ, ସେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରତିମାପୂଜକ ହୁଅ ନାହିଁ; ଯେପରି ଲେଖାଅଛି, “ଲୋକମାନେ ଭୋଜନପାନ କରିବାକୁ ବସିଲେ, ଆଉ ନୃତ୍ୟ କରିବାକୁ ଉଠିଲେ।”
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.
ଯେପରି ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କେତେକ ବ୍ୟଭିଚାର କରି ଏକ ଦିନରେ ତେଇଶ ହଜାର ମରିଗଲେ, ସେପରି ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ବ୍ୟଭିଚାର ନ କରୁ।
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].
ଯେପରି ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କେତେକ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ପରୀକ୍ଷା କରି ସର୍ପ ଦ୍ୱାରା ବିନଷ୍ଟ ହେଲେ, ସେପରି ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ପରୀକ୍ଷା ନ କରୁ।
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].
ଯେପରି ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କେତେକ ଲୋକ ବଚସା କରି ସଂହାରକ ଦ୍ୱାରା ବିନଷ୍ଟ ହେଲେ, ସେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ବଚସା କର ନାହିଁ।
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 )
ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ ଦୃଷ୍ଟାନ୍ତ ସ୍ୱରୂପେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଘଟିଲା, ଆଉ ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କ ସମୟରେ ଯୁଗାନ୍ତ କାଳ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୋଇଅଛି, ଏପରି ଯେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଚେତନା ନିମନ୍ତେ ସେହିସବୁ ଲେଖାଯାଇଅଛି। (aiōn )
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].
ଏଣୁ ଯେ ଆପଣାକୁ ସ୍ଥିର ବୋଲି ମନେ କରେ, ସେ ଯେପରି ପତିତ ନ ହୁଏ, ଏଥିନିମନ୍ତେ ସେ ସାବଧାନ ହେଉ।
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].
ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ପ୍ରତି ଯେଉଁ ପ୍ରକାର ପରୀକ୍ଷା ସ୍ୱାଭାବିକ, ତାହା ଛଡ଼ା ଅନ୍ୟ ପ୍ରକାର ପରୀକ୍ଷା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଘଟି ନାହିଁ; କିନ୍ତୁ ଈଶ୍ବର ବିଶ୍ୱସ୍ତ, ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କୌଣସି ଅସହ୍ୟ ପରୀକ୍ଷାରେ ପରୀକ୍ଷିତ ହେବାକୁ ଦେବେ ନାହିଁ, ମାତ୍ର ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସହ୍ୟ କରିପାର, ଏଥିପାଇଁ ପରୀକ୍ଷା ଘଟିବା ସଙ୍ଗେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ସେ ଉଦ୍ଧାରର ପଥ ମଧ୍ୟ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରିବେ।
14 So, [I say to] you people whom I love, [avoid] worshipping idols [just like you would] run away from [anything that is dangerous].
ଅତଏବ, ହେ ମୋହର ପ୍ରିୟମାନେ, ପ୍ରତିମାପୂଜାରୁ ପଳାୟନ କର।
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].
ମୁଁ ବୁଦ୍ଧିମାନ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା ପରି କହୁଅଛି; ମୁଁ ଯାହା କହୁଅଛି, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ନିଜେ ବିଚାର କର।
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]
ଯେଉଁ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦର ପାତ୍ରକୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରୁ, ତାହା କି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ରକ୍ତର ସହଭାଗିତା ନୁହେଁ? ଯେଉଁ ରୁଟି ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଭାଙ୍ଗୁ, ତାହା କି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ଶରୀରର ସହଭାଗିତା ନୁହେଁ?
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.
କାରଣ ରୁଟି ଏକ ହେବାରୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଅନେକ ହେଲେ ହେଁ ଏକ ଶରୀର ସ୍ୱରୂପ, ଯେଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସମସ୍ତେ ସେହି ଏକ ରୁଟିର ଅଂଶୀ।
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].
ଶାରୀରିକ ଜନ୍ମାନୁସାରେ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ ଲୋକ, ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖ; ଯେଉଁମାନେ ବଳିମାଂସ ଭୋଜନ କରନ୍ତି, ସେମାନେ କି ବେଦିର ସହଭାଗୀ ନୁହଁନ୍ତି?
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].
ତେବେ ଦେବପ୍ରସାଦ ବୋଲି ଯେ କିଛି ଅଛି ବା ପ୍ରତିମା ବୋଲି ଯେ କିଛି ଅଛି, ଏହା କି ମୁଁ କହୁଅଛି?
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!
ନା, କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ କହୁଅଛି ଯେ, ଯାହା ଯାହା ଅଣଯିହୁଦୀମାନେ ବଳି ରୂପେ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରନ୍ତି, ସେହିସବୁ ସେମାନେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ ନ କରି ଭୂତମାନଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ କରନ୍ତି। ଆଉ, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯେ ଭୂତମାନଙ୍କ ସହଭାଗୀ ହୁଅ, ଏହା ମୋହର ଇଚ୍ଛା ନୁହେଁ।
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]
ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ପାନପାତ୍ର ଓ ଭୂତମାନଙ୍କ ପାନପାତ୍ର ଉଭୟରେ ପାନ କରିପାର ନାହିଁ; ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ମେଜ ଓ ଭୂତମାନଙ୍କ ମେଜ ଉଭୟର ଅଂଶୀ ହୋଇପାର ନାହିଁ।
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!]
ଅଥବା ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ କଅଣ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ବିରକ୍ତି ଜନ୍ମାଇବା? ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ କି ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରୁ ବଳବାନ?
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.
ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ସାଧନ କରିବାକୁ ସ୍ୱାଧୀନତା ଅଛି, କିନ୍ତୁ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ହିତଜନକ ନୁହେଁ। ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ସାଧନ କରିବାକୁ ସ୍ୱାଧୀନତା ଅଛି, କିନ୍ତୁ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟରୁ ନିଷ୍ଠା ଜାତ ହୁଏ ନାହିଁ।
24 No one should try to benefit [only] himself. Instead, each person should try to benefit other people [spiritually].
କେହି ନିଜର ସ୍ୱାର୍ଥ ଚେଷ୍ଟା ନ କରୁ, ମାତ୍ର ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଜଣ ଅନ୍ୟର ମଙ୍ଗଳ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରୁ।
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].
ବଜାରରେ ଯାହା ବିକ୍ରୟ ହୁଏ, ବିବେକ ସକାଶେ କିଛି ନ ପଚାରି ତାହା ଭୋଜନ କର,
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].
କାରଣ ପୃଥିବୀ ଓ ସେଥିରେ ଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର।
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].
ଅବିଶ୍ୱାସୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ କେହି ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିମନ୍ତ୍ରଣ କରେ, ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କର, ତେବେ ଯାହା କିଛି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରିବେଷଣ କରାଯାଏ, ବିବେକ ସକାଶେ କିଛି ନ ପଚାରି ତାହା ଭୋଜନ କର।
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].
କିନ୍ତୁ କେହି ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହେ, ଏହା ବଳି ସ୍ୱରୂପେ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗୀକୃତ ହୋଇଅଛି, ତେବେ ଯେ ଏହା ଜଣାଇଲା, ତାହାର ସକାଶେ ଓ ବିବେକ ସକାଶେ ତାହା ଭୋଜନ କର ନାହିଁ;
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.
ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିଜ ବିବେକ ସକାଶେ ବୋଲି ମୁଁ କହୁ ନାହିଁ, ମାତ୍ର ତାହାର ବିବେକ ସକାଶେ। ମୋହର ସ୍ୱାଧୀନତା କାହିଁକି ଅନ୍ୟର ବିବେକ ଦ୍ୱାରା ବିଚାରିତ ହୁଏ?
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]!
ଯଦି ମୁଁ ଧନ୍ୟବାଦ ଦେଇ ଭୋଜନ କରେ, ତେବେ ଯାହା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଧନ୍ୟବାଦ ଦିଏ, ତାହା ନିମନ୍ତେ ନିନ୍ଦିତ ହୁଏ କାହିଁକି?
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.
ଅତଏବ, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଭୋଜନ କର କି ପାନ କର ଅବା ଯାହା କିଛି କର, ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଗୌରବ ନିମନ୍ତେ ସବୁ କର।
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.
ଯିହୁଦୀ ବା ଗ୍ରୀକ୍ ବା ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ମଣ୍ଡଳୀ, କାହାରି ଝୁଣ୍ଟିବାର କାରଣ ହୁଅ ନାହିଁ,
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].
ଯେପରି ମୁଁ ମଧ୍ୟ ମୋହର ସ୍ୱାର୍ଥ ଚେଷ୍ଟା ନ କରି ଅନେକଙ୍କ ପରିତ୍ରାଣ ନିମନ୍ତେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଙ୍ଗଳ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରେ, ପୁଣି, ସବୁ ବିଷୟରେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ସନ୍ତୁଷ୍ଟ କରିବାକୁ ଯତ୍ନ କରେ।
