1 Corinthians 10
1 I do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea.
Na rĩrĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndikwenda mũkorwo mũtooĩ ũndũ ũyũ, atĩ maithe maitũ ma tene othe maatongoragio nĩ itu, na atĩ othe nĩmaringire iria.
2 All were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
Othe nĩmabatithirio matuĩke andũ a Musa marĩ rungu rwa itu rĩu, o na marĩ iria-inĩ rĩu.
3 and all ate the same spiritual food.
Na othe maarĩĩaga irio o imwe cia kĩĩroho,
4 All drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.
na maanyuuaga maaĩ o mamwe ma kĩĩroho; nĩgũkorwo maanyuire kuuma rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga rwa kĩĩroho rũrĩa rwatwaranaga nao, naruo rwaro rũu rwarĩ Kristũ.
5 But God was not well pleased with most of them, and their corpses were scattered about in the wilderness.
O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, aingĩ ao matiigana gũkenia Ngai; nacio ciimba ciao ikĩhurunjwo werũ-inĩ.
6 Now these things were examples for us, so we would not long for evil things as they did.
Na rĩrĩ, maũndũ macio meekĩkire marĩ ta cionereria, nĩgeetha ngoro ciitũ itikerirĩrie gwĩka maũndũ mooru ta macio meekire.
7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. This is as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
Mũtigatuĩke ahooi mĩhianano, ta ũrĩa amwe ao maatariĩ; o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Andũ acio magĩikara thĩ kũrĩa na kũnyua, magĩcooka magĩũkĩra kũina na gwĩkenia.”
8 Let us not commit sexual immorality, as many of them did. In one day, twenty-three thousand people died because of it.
Ningĩ tũtikahũũre ũmaraya, ta ũrĩa amwe ao meekire, nao magĩkua andũ ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ithatũ mũthenya ũmwe.
9 Neither let us put Christ to the test, as many of them did and were destroyed by snakes.
O na ningĩ tũtikanagerie Mwathani, ta ũrĩa amwe ao meekire, nao makĩniinwo nĩ nyoka.
10 Also do not grumble, as many of them did and were destroyed by an angel of death.
Na mũtikae gũteta, ta ũrĩa amwe ao meekire, nao makĩũragwo nĩ mũraika ũrĩa mũniinani.
11 Now these things happened to them as examples for us. They were written for our instruction—for us on whom the end of the ages has come. (aiōn g165)
Maũndũ macio meekĩkire kũrĩ o marĩ cionereria, na makĩandĩkwo marĩ ma gũtũkaania, ithuĩ tũkinyĩrĩirwo nĩ kũhingio kwa mahinda. (aiōn g165)
12 Therefore let anyone who thinks he stands be careful that he does not fall.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũngĩĩra nĩũrũgamĩte wega-rĩ, menyerera ndũkae kũgũa!
13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to all humanity. Instead, God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability. With the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, so that you may be able to endure it.
Mũtirĩ mwagerio na magerio mangĩ tiga o marĩa makoraga andũ. Nake Ngai nĩmwĩhokeku; ndangĩtĩkĩra mũgerio na magerio marĩa mũtangĩhota gwĩtiiria. No rĩrĩa mũkũgerio-rĩ, nĩarĩmuonagĩrĩria njĩra ya kũũrĩra nĩguo mũhotage gwĩtiiria magerio macio.
14 Therefore, my loved ones, run away from idolatry.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, arata akwa endwa, ũragĩrai ũhoro wa kũhooya mĩhianano.
15 I speak to you as people who have understanding, so you may judge what I say.
Ndĩraarĩria andũ oogĩ; mwĩkũũranĩrei ũrĩa ndĩroiga.
16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
Gĩkombe gĩa gũcookia ngaatho kĩrĩa tũcookagia ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wakĩo-rĩ, githĩ ti kũgwatanĩra thakame ya Kristũ? Na githĩ mũgate ũrĩa twenyũraga ti kũgwatanĩra mwĩrĩ wa Kristũ?
17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we who are many are one body. We all take of one loaf of bread together.
Na tondũ mũgate ũcio nĩ ũmwe-rĩ, ithuĩ, o na tũrĩ aingĩ, tũrĩ o mwĩrĩ ũmwe, nĩgũkorwo ithuĩ othe tũrĩĩaga mũgate o ũcio ũmwe.
18 Look at the people of Israel. Are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar?
Ta mwĩcũraniei ũhoro wa andũ a Isiraeli: Arĩa marĩĩaga irio cia igongona-rĩ, githĩ matigwatanagĩra kĩgongona kĩu?
19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything? Or that food sacrificed to an idol is anything?
Ndĩrenda kuuga atĩa? Atĩ kĩrĩa kĩrutĩirwo mũhianano nĩ kĩndũ kũrĩ, kana atĩ mũhianano guo mwene nĩ kĩndũ kũrĩ?
20 But I say about the things the Gentile pagans sacrifice, that they offer these things to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons!
Aca! Ũrĩa ndĩroiga nĩ atĩ magongona ma andũ arĩa matarĩ na ũngai marutagĩrwo ndaimono, na ti Ngai, na ndikwenda mũgĩe ngwatanĩro na ndaimono.
21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot have fellowship at the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
Mũtingĩhota kũnyuĩra gĩkombe kĩa Mwathani, na mũnyuĩre gĩkombe kĩa ndaimono o nakĩo; mũtingĩhota kũgwatanĩra metha-inĩ ya Mwathani, na mũgwatanĩre metha-inĩ ya ndaimono.
22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he is?
Kaĩ tũrageria kwarahũra ũiru wa Mwathani? Kaĩ tũrĩ na hinya kũmũkĩra?
23 “Everything is lawful,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is lawful,” but not everything builds people up.
“Niĩ ndirigĩrĩirio gwĩka ũndũ,” no ti ũndũ o wothe ũrĩ na kĩguni. “Niĩ ndirigĩrĩirio gwĩka ũndũ,” no ti ũndũ o wothe ũrĩ na uumithio.
24 No one should seek his own good. Instead, each one should seek the good of his neighbor.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ wagĩrĩirwo nĩgũcaragia maũndũ ma kwĩguna we mwene, no nĩacaragie maũndũ ma kũguna andũ arĩa angĩ.
25 You may eat whatever is sold in the market, without questions of conscience.
Rĩĩagai kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩendagio thoko-inĩ ya nyama mũtekwĩyũria ciũria nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩcuuko wa thamiri,
26 For “the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it.”
nĩgũkorwo, “Thĩ nĩ ya Mwathani, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wayo.”
27 If an unbeliever invites you to eat a meal, and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you without asking questions of conscience.
Mũndũ ũtarĩ mwĩtĩkia angĩmwĩta mũkarĩe irio gwake, na inyuĩ mũkorwo nĩ mũkwenda gũthiĩ-rĩ, rĩa irio ciothe iria mũngĩheo mũtekwĩyũria ciũria cia mwĩcuuko wa thamiri.
28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience—
No mũndũ angĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Irio ici irutĩtwo irĩ igongona,” mũtigacirĩe, nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũcio wamwĩra ũguo, o na nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩcuuko wa thamiri;
29 the conscience of the other man, I mean, and not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?
ngiuga ũguo ti thamiri yaku ndagweta, no nĩ thamiri ya mũndũ ũcio ũngĩ. Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, wĩyathi wakwa ũgũciirithio nĩkĩ nĩ ũndũ wa thamiri ya mũndũ ũngĩ?
30 If I partake of the meal with gratitude, why am I being insulted for that for which I gave thanks?
Ingĩrĩanĩra irio na andũ angĩ ndĩ na ngaatho-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma njambio nĩ ũndũ wa kĩndũ kĩu njokeirie Ngai ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wakĩo?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa mũkũrĩa kana rĩrĩa mũkũnyua, o na kana mũgĩĩka ũndũ o wothe-rĩ, wĩkagei nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kũgoocithia Ngai.
32 Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks, or to the church of God.
Tigai gwĩka ũndũ ũngĩhĩngithia mũndũ, arĩ Mũyahudi, kana arĩ Mũyunani, o na kana ũhĩngithie kanitha wa Ngai,
33 I try to please all people in all things. I do not seek my benefit, but that of the many. I do this so that they may be saved.
o ta ũrĩa niĩ ngeragia gũkenia andũ othe na njĩra o yothe. Nĩgũkorwo ndicaragia ũndũ wa kwĩguna niĩ mwene, no njaragia ũrĩa ingĩguna andũ aingĩ, nĩguo mahonoke.
