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].
Mai mult, fraților, nu vă voiesc neștiutori, că toți părinții noștri au fost sub nor, și toți au trecut prin mare;
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.
Și toți au fost botezați la Moise în nor și în mare;
3 All [those ancestors of ours ate the same food that God] miraculously [provided].
Și toți au mâncat aceeași mâncare spirituală,
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].
Și toți au băut aceeași băutură spirituală, fiindcă au băut din acea Stâncă spirituală ce îi urma; și acea Stâncă era Cristos.
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.
Dar în cei mai mulți dintre ei Dumnezeu nu și-a găsit plăcerea, fiindcă au fost doborâți în pustie.
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.
Și acestea au fost exemplele noastre, pentru ca noi să nu poftim după lucruri rele, așa cum și aceia au poftit.
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].”
Nici nu fiți idolatri ca unii dintre ei; așa cum este scris: Poporul a șezut să mănânce și să bea și s-au sculat să joace.
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.
Nici să nu curvim, așa cum unii dintre ei au curvit și au căzut într-o [singură] zi douăzeci și trei de mii.
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].
Nici să nu ispitim pe Cristos, după cum unii dintre ei l-au ispitit și au fost nimiciți de șerpi.
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].
Nici nu cârtiți, după cum au cârtit unii dintre ei și au fost nimiciți de nimicitorul.
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)
Și toate acestea li s-au întâmplat ca să fie exemple; și sunt scrise pentru avertizarea noastră, peste care au ajuns sfârșiturile lumii. (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].
De aceea cel ce gândește că stă în picioare să ia seama ca nu cumva să cadă.
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].
Nu v-a luat nicio ispită, decât ceva obișnuit omului; dar credincios este Dumnezeu care nu va permite să fiți ispitiți peste ce sunteți în stare, ci împreună cu ispita va face și o cale de scăpare, ca voi să fiți în stare să o purtați.
14 So, [I say to] you people whom I love, [avoid] worshipping idols [just like you would] run away from [anything that is dangerous].
De aceea, preaiubiții mei, fugiți de idolatrie.
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].
Vorbesc ca unor oameni înțelepți; judecați voi ce spun.
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]
Paharul binecuvântării, pe care îl binecuvântăm, nu este el comuniunea sângelui lui Cristos? Pâinea, pe care o frângem, nu este comuniunea trupului lui Cristos?
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.
Pentru că noi, fiind mulți, suntem o singură pâine, un singur trup, fiindcă toți suntem părtași din acea singură pâine.
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].
Uitați-vă la Israelul conform cărnii; nu sunt cei ce mănâncă sacrificiile părtași ai altarului?
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].
Atunci ce spun? Că idolul este ceva, sau ceea ce este sacrificat idolilor este ceva?
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!
Dar spun că lucrurile pe care neamurile le sacrifică, le sacrifică dracilor și nu lui Dumnezeu, și eu nu voiesc să aveți părtășie cu dracii.
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]
Nu puteți bea paharul Domnului și paharul dracilor; nu puteți fi părtași ai mesei Domnului și ai mesei dracilor.
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!]
Îl provocăm pe Domnul la gelozie? Suntem mai tari decât el?
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.
Toate îmi sunt legiuite, dar nu toate sunt de folos. Toate îmi sunt legiuite, dar nu toate edifică.
24 No one should try to benefit [only] himself. Instead, each person should try to benefit other people [spiritually].
Nimeni să nu caute folosul lui, ci fiecare pe al celuilalt.
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].
Orice se vinde în măcelărie, mâncați, necercetând nimic din cauza conștiinței.
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].
Fiindcă al Domnului este pământul și plinătatea lui.
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].
Și dacă cineva dintre cei ce nu cred vă invită și doriți să mergeți, mâncați orice vă este pus înainte, necercetând nimic din cauza conștiinței.
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].
Dar dacă cineva vă spune: Aceasta este sacrificată idolilor, nu mâncați pentru cel ce v-a înștiințat și pentru conștiință, fiindcă al Domnului este pământul și plinătatea lui,
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.
Dar conștiința, spun eu, nu a ta, ci a celuilalt; fiindcă de ce să fie judecată libertatea mea de conștiința altuia?
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]!
Iar dacă eu prin har sunt părtaș, de ce să fiu vorbit de rău pentru aceea pentru care aduc mulțumiri?
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.
De aceea fie că mâncați, fie că beți, fie că faceți altceva, faceți toate pentru gloria lui Dumnezeu.
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.
Nu fiți poticnire nici iudeilor, nici neamurilor, nici bisericii lui Dumnezeu;
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].
Așa cum eu plac tuturor în toate, necăutând folosul meu, ci pe al celor mulți, ca să fie salvați.
