1 Corinthians 10
1 Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
Walongu wayangu nfira muvimani shilii shashiwalawiriti wambuyi wa twenga yawamfatiti Musa. Woseri waweriti pasi pa ulolera wa liwundu lilii na woseri walokiti mubahali njeri ilii.
2 and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
Woseri wabatizitwi waweri wantumini wa Musa muliwundi lilii na mubahali njeri ilii.
3 and all ate the same spiritual food;
Woseri waliyiti shiboga shiraa shilii sha shirohu.
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
Vilaa vilii walanditi shakulanda shiraa shilii sha shirohu. Womberi walanditi kulawa mulitalawu lulii lya shirohu lwaluwafatiti, litalawu ali ndo Kristu mweni.
5 However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Pamuhera na hangu, wavua wawu wamfiriziyiti ndiri Mlungu na mauti gawu gapalasiyitwi kushiwala.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
Vinu, goseri aga galawira kutuberiziya twenga, su natuwera wantu wakufira vidoda gambira womberi ntambu yawatenditi.
7 Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
Namguwira vinyagu gambira wamu wawu ntambu yawatenda. Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Wantu walivagiti kuliya na kulanda na wagoloka na wavina vidoda.”
8 Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
Namuhumba gambira wamu wawu ntambu yawahumbiti, wahowiti wantu elufu malongu mawili na miya tatu kwa lishaka limu.
9 Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
Natumjera Mtuwa Kristu gambira wamu wawu tambu yawamjeriti, woseri wahowiti kwa kulumwa na wanjoka.
10 Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
Namuhinginika gambira wamu wawu ntambu yawatenda, su walagitwi na lihoka lya kulaga lyakatumitwi na Mlungu.
11 Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
Su shitwatila ashi shiwapatiti shiwera mfanu kwa wamonga na galembitwi su kutuberiziya twenga, yatulikala mumashaka gapakwegera kupelera. (aiōn g165)
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
Ulii yakalihola kuwera kagangamala, kaloli hweri nakaguwa.
13 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Majeru gampatiti mahenga ndiri kwa wantu. Mlungu kaaminika, yomberi hapeni kawaleki mjerwi kupita makakala genu. Kumbiti pamjerwa hakawapanani makakala ga kuhepelera na njira ya kulawira amu.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
Su, waganja wangu mtiri kuviguwira vinyagu.
15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
Nankutakula na mwenga, wantu yawawera na luhala, muliholi maweni aga gantakula.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?
Patulutekelera lutekeru lwa Mtuwa, hashi, tulikolerana ndiri pamuhera na mwazi gwa Kristu? Hashi, patumega libumunda tulikolerana pamuhera ndiri na nshimba ya Kristu?
17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
Toziya kwana libumunda limu hera, tembera twenga yatuwera tuvuwa, tuwera nshimba yimu, toziya twawoseri tubagulana pamuhera mulibumunda liraa ali.
18 Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
Mwawaloli wantu wa Israeli, walii yawaliya shilii shashilaviyitwi tambiku su walikolerana pamuhera na Mlungu kupitira tambiku zyawamlavilira.
19 What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
Vinu, ntakuli shishi? Shiboga shawashitambikiriti shinyagu shintu shikulu kuliku shiboga? Na vinyagu avi, vintu vikulu?
20 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
Ndala! Shantakula neni ndo ashi. Tambiku zyawazilaviya wantu yawammana ndiri Mlungu wamlavilira ndiri Mlungu, walavilira washamshera. Na neni nfira ndiri nakamu mwenga mulikolerani pamuhera na washamshera.
21 You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.
Mwenga hapeni mlandiri lutekeru lwa Mtuwa, uganu mwankulandira lutekeru lwa washamshera, hapeni muwezi kuliya shiboga pameza pa Mtuwa na pameza pa washamshera.
22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
Hashi, tufira kumtenda Mtuwa kaweri na weya? Hashi, twana makakala ng'anji kuliku yomberi?
23 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
Su wantu wamu pakati penu walonga, “Vintu vyoseri vilewelerwa ndiri, kumbiti nonga vyoseri ndiri viherepa. Vintu vyoseri vyavilewelewitwi, kumbiti nonga vyoseri ndiri vinyawa.”
24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.
Muntu yoseri pakati penu nakasakula mota yakuwi mweni, kumbiti kasakuli mota ya myaguwi.
25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
Mliyi shoseri shilii shawawuza kusoku pota na kulikosiya kosiya toziya ya nfiru zyenu ziweri na unakaka,
26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
toziya Malembu Mananagala galonga, “Pasipanu na vyoseri vyaviweramu viwera vya Mtuwa.”
27 But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
Handa muntu yakamwamini ndiri Kristu pakawashemera kuliya shiboga na mwamuwa kugenda, mliyi vyoseri vyakawatandireni pota ya kukosiya kosiya toziya ya nfiru zyenu.
28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
Kumbiti muntu pakawagambireni, “Shiboga ashi washitambikilira vinyagu,” Su toziya ya ulii yakawagambireni na toziya ya nfiru zyenu, namliya.
29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
Ntakula, toziya ya nfiru, nfiru ya yenu ndiri kumbiti nfiru yakuwi ayu yakawagambireni. Hamunkosiyi, iwera hashi ulekeziwu wa neni utozwi na nfiru ya muntu gwingi?
30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
Payiwera neni nonga mayagashii Mlungu toziya ya shiboga shaneni, iwera hashi muntu gwingi kanongi kwa shiboga shanongiti mayagashii Mlungu?
31 Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Su shoseri shamtenda, kuliya ama kulanda, mtendi goseri kwa ukwisa wa Mlungu.
32 Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
Namuwera shileweleru kwa Wayawudi ama kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi ama kwa Shipinga sha wantu shawamjimira Mlungu.
33 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
Mulikali gambira neni, nfira kuwaherepeziya wantu woseri kwa vyoseri vyantenda, toziya nsakula ndiri mota yangu namweni, kumbiti mota ya woseri wapati kulopoziwa.
