1 Corinthians 10
1 For I would have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red Sea.
Nilonda muenga mmanyai kaka ni dada bhayangu ya kuwa dadi bhitu bhayele pasi mu liwingu ni bhoa bhapetili mu bahari.
2 All were baptized in the cloud and in the sea to be followers of Moses.
Bhoa bhabatisibhu bhayela bha Musa mugati muliwingu ni mugati mubahari,
3 All ate the same spiritual food,
ni bhoa bhayele kyakulya khela khela kya roho. Bhoa bhanyuili kinywaji khela khela kya roho.
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they long drank the water that flowed from the spiritual rock that went with them--and that rock was the Christ.
Maana bhanyuili kuhomela mu muamba wa roho waubhafwatili, ni muamba bhola wayele ndo Kristu.
5 But with most of them God was not well pleased; for they were laid low in the Desert.
Lakini K'yara abhaghanili lepi sana ni bhingi bha bhene, ni maiti ghabhene sasambisibhu mujangwani.
6 And in this they became a warning to us, to teach us not to be eager, as they were eager, in pursuit of what is evil.
Basi mambo agha ghoa ghayele mfano kwa yhoto, ili tete tusiyi bhanu bhakutamani mabaya kutya ni bhala bhabhakhetili.
7 And you must not be worshippers of idols, as some of them were. For it is written, "The People sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance."
Msiyi waabudu sanamu, kutya bhamana bhabhi kiyele. Eye ndo kutya kakiyandikibhu, “Bhanu bhatamili pasi kulya ni kunywa ni kuyinuka kukina ki tamaa sa mapenzi.”
8 Nor may we be fornicators, like some of them who committed fornication and on a single day 23,000 of them fell dead.
Tusikheti uashelati kutya bhamana bhene kabhaketili. Bhafuili ligono limonga bhanu ishilini na tatu elfu kwa ndabha ya elu.
9 And do not let us test the Lord too far, as some of them tested Him and were destroyed by the serpents.
Wala tusinjalibu Kristu, ni kutya bhamana kabhaketili ni kuhalibikibhwa ni liyoka.
10 And do not be discontented, as some of them were, and they were destroyed by the Destroyer.
Ni kabhele msinung'uniki, kutya bhingi bha bhene kabhanung'uniki ni kumang'asibhwa ni malaika wa mauti.
11 All this kept happening to them with a figurative meaning; but it was put on record by way of admonition to us upon whom the ends of the Ages have come. (aiōn g165)
Basi mambo aghu ghabhombiki kujo mifano kwa yhoto. ghayandikibhu ili kutuonya tete - tabhafikilibhu ni kumalika ki zamani. (aiōn g165)
12 So then let him who thinks he is standing securely beware of falling.
Kwa elu kila akajibhona ayhemili ayelai ngangali asihidi kubina.
13 No temptation has you in its power but such as is common to human nature; and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. But, when the temptation comes, He will also provide the way of escape; so that you may be able to bear it.
Kuyelehee lijalibu lalibhakabhili muenga laliyelehee kawaida ya bhanadamu. Ila K'yara ndo mwaminifu. Akabhaleka lepi mjalibibhuayi kup'eta ubhueso bhuinu. Pamonga ni lijalibu muene alabhapela ndiangu wa kupitila, ili mubhwesyai kustaimili.
14 Therefore, my dear friends, avoid all connection with the worship of idols.
Kwa elu, bhapendwa bhangu, mujiikhembelai ibada yalisanamu.
15 I speak as to men of sense: judge for yourselves of what I say.
Nijobha ni muenga kutya bhanu bhenye akili, ili muamulai juu gha nijobha.
16 The cup of blessing, which we bless, does it not mean a joint-participation in the blood of Christ? The loaf of bread which we break, does it not mean a joint-participation in the body of Christ?
Kikhombi kya balaka katibaliki, so ushilika wa mbhele wa Kristu?
17 Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.
Kwa ndabha nkate ummonga, tete bhatuyele tabhingi mbhele ummonga, tete tabhoa tiyhop'holela n'kate ummonga kwa pamonga.
18 Look at the Israelites--the nation and their ritual. Are not those who eat the sacrifices joint-partakers in the altar?
Mbhalangai bhanu bha Israeli: Ko! bhala bhoa bhabhilya zabihu so bhashiliki mu mazabau?
19 Do I mean that a thing sacrificed to an idol is what it claims to be, or that an idol is a real thing?
Nijobha kiki kabhele? ya kuya sanamu khenu? au yakuya kya kulya kakapisibhu sadaka kwa sanamu ndo khenu?
20 No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship with one another through the demons.
Kakiyele nijobha juu ya fhenu fhela fabhipisya sadaka bhanu bhapagani bha Mataifa, ya kuya bhipisya fhenu efe kwa mapepo ni si kwa K'yara. Nani nilondalepi muenga kushilikiana ni mapepo!
21 You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons: you cannot be joint-partakers both in the table of the Lord and in the table of demons.
Mwibhuesya lepi kunywelela kikhombi kya Bwana ni kikombi ka mapepo. mwibhuesya lepi kuya ushilika mu meza ya Bwana ni mu meza ya mapepo.
22 Or are we actually arousing the Lord to jealousy. Are we stronger than He is?
Au tukamsopela Bwana bhuifu? tuyee ni nghofo zaidi ya muene?
23 Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.
“Fhenu fyoa ni halali,” kakiyele si syoa fafifuayi. “Fhenu fyoa ni halali,” kakiyele si syoa fyafijenga bhanu.
24 Let no one be for ever seeking his own good, but let each seek that of his fellow man.
Ayehee hata mmonga ngaalondili manofu gha muene tu. Badala yaki, kila mmonga ngaalondili manofu gha njinu.
25 Anything that is for sale in the meat market, eat, and ask no questions for conscience' sake;
Mwibhuesya kulya kila fhenu kakigolisibhwa kusoko bila kukhota - khtai kwajia ya kumanya.
26 for the earth is the Lord's, and all that it contains.
Mana “dunia ndo mali ya Bwana, ni fyoa fafimemisibhwa.”
27 If an unbeliever gives you an invitation and you are disposed to accept it, eat whatever is put before you, and ask no questions for conscience' sake.
Ni munu yaiaminilepi kubhaalika kulya, ni mwilonda kulota, mliayi kyoakhela kaakabhapela bila kukhota masuali gha zamili.
28 But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice;" abstain from eating it--out of respect for him who warned you, and, as before, for conscience' sake.
Kakiyele munu akabhajobhela, “kyakulya ekhe kitokene ni sadaka ya bhapagani,” msile. Eye ndo kwajia ya muene yaabhajobhili, na kwajia ya zamili.
29 But now I mean his conscience, not your own. "Why, on what ground," you may object, "is the question of my liberty of action to be decided by a conscience not my own?
Ni nene nimanishahee zamila sya yhomo, bali zamili ya yhola yhongi. Maana kwandabha yakiki uhuru wanene uhukumiwai ni munu yhongi?
30 If, so far as I am concerned, I partake with a grateful heart, why am I to be found fault with in regard to a thing for which I give thanks?"
Ikayelai nene nitumila kyakulya kwa shukulani, kwandayakiki nilighibhwai kwa khenu ka nikishukuili kwa muene?
31 Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.
Kwa elu, kyoakhela kamwilya ni kunywa, au kyoakhela kamwifwanya, mfwanyai ghoa kwajia ya utukufu wa K'yara.
32 Do not be causes of stumbling either to Jews or to Gentiles, nor to the Church of God.
Msibhakosesi Bhayaudi au bhayunani, au kanisa la K'yara.
33 That is the way that I also seek in everything the approval of all men, not aiming at my own profit, but at that of the many, in the hope that they may be saved.
Mjalibuayi kutya nene kanijalibu kubhagana bhanu bhoa kwa mambo ghoa. Nilondahee faida yayhoni, bali ya bhingi. Ni nene ni kheta naa ili bhabhwesyai kuokholewa.
