Korintotɔwo 1 10
1 Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, migaŋlɔ nu siwo dzɔ ɖe mía tɔgbuitɔgbuiwo dzi le gbedadaƒo le blema la be o. Mawu na lilikpo nɔ ŋgɔ na wo, eye wòkplɔ wo va to Ƒu Dzĩ la me dedie.
Now, I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea:
2 Nuwɔna sia zu mawutsideta na wo kple Mose ɖe Ƒu la me.
and all were immersed into Moses, in the cloud and in the sea;
3 Wo katã woɖu gbɔgbɔmenuɖuɖu ma ke,
and all did eat the same spiritual meat;
4 eye wono gbɔgbɔmenunono ma ke, elabena wonoe tso gbɔgbɔmekpe gbadza si zɔ kpli wo le gbea dzi, eye kpe gbadza siae nye Kristo.
and all did drink the same spiritual drink; (for they drank of the spiritual rock, which followed them, and that rock was Christ.)
5 Gake le esiawo katã megbe la, wo dometɔ geɖewo sẽ to eye womewɔ Mawu ƒe gbe dzi o. Ale Mawu tsrɔ̃ wo eye woƒe ŋutilã kukuawo kaka ɖe gbea dzi.
Nevertheless, with the greater part of them, God was not well pleased; for they were cast down in the wilderness.
6 Ele be míasrɔ̃ nu tso esia me be míawo hã míagatsi nu vɔ̃ɖiwo yome abe mía tɔgbuiwo ene eye míagasubɔ legbawo abe ale si wowɔ ene o.
Now, these things have become types to us, in order that we should not be lusters after evil things, even as they lusted.
7 Migazu trɔ̃subɔlawo hã abe wo dometɔ aɖewo ene o, abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖe Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la me be, “Wonɔ anyi ɖu nu eye wono nu nyuie eye wotsi tsitre, emegbe la, woɖu ɣe.”
Neither be you idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat, and to drink, and rose up to dance."
8 Nu bubu si wòle be míagasrɔ̃ tso nu siwo dzɔ ɖe wo dzi me lae nye be esi wo dometɔ aɖewo wɔ ahasi ta la, ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ sɔŋ ku le wo dome le ŋkeke ɖeka ko dzi.
Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them committed whoredom, and fell, in one day, twenty-three thousand.
9 Nɔviwo, miawo hã migaɖia Kristo nu abe ale si wowɔ eye da ɖu wo dometɔ geɖewo woku ene o.
Neither let us grievously tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents.
10 Le esi wolĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe Mawu ŋu ta la, Mawu ɖo mawudɔla aɖe ɖa wòva tsrɔ̃ wo dometɔ geɖewo hã.
Neither murmur you, as even some of the murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
11 Nu siawo katã dzɔ ɖe wo dzi be wòanye kpɔɖeŋu kple nusɔsrɔ̃ na mí, ale be míawo hã míagawɔ nu siawo ƒomevi o. Woŋlɔ wo da ɖi na mí be míaxlẽ, ale be míasrɔ̃ nu tso eme le ɣeyiɣi siawo me esi xexea me ƒe nuwuwu tu aƒe. (aiōn g165)
Now, all these things happened to them as types; and are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come. (aiōn g165)
12 Eya ta ame siwo buna be nu siawo mate ŋu adzɔ ɖe yewo dzi o la nakpɔ nyuie be womagadze tetekpɔ me o.
Wherefore, let him who thinks he stands, take heed, lest he fall.
13 Miɖo ŋku edzi be susu vɔ̃ɖi siwo vaa miaƒe ta me edziedzi la, vaa ame sia ame ƒe ta me nenema ke, menye miawoe nye ame gbãtɔ siwo le nu siawo me tom o. Minya be ame geɖewo to eme va yi. Minyae hã be tetekpɔ aɖeke mesesẽ wu amegbetɔ ƒe tsɔtsɔ o. Miate ŋu aɖo ŋu ɖe Mawu ŋu be ana ŋusẽ mi be miaɖu tetekpɔ dzi, elabena eya ŋutɔ do ŋugbe na mi, eye Mawu ya megbea eƒe ŋugbedodowo dzi wɔwɔ gbeɖe o. Afia afɔɖoƒe mi be miate ŋu ato ɖe sia ɖe me le dzigbɔɖi blibo me.
No trial has come upon you but such as belongs to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried above what you are able, but will, with the trial, also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear.
14 Eya ta nɔvi lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, mite ɖa le trɔ̃subɔsubɔ gbɔ.
Wherefore, my beloved, fly from idolatry.
15 Menya be nunyalawo mienye eya ta mibu nya si gblɔ ge mala na mi ŋuti kpɔ.
I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.
16 Ne míele Aƒetɔ la ƒe Nuɖuɖu Kɔkɔe ɖum la, mí katã míedoa gbe ɖa eye míenoa nu le kplu ɖeka nu. Ɖe esia mefia be mí katã míele yayra ɖeka xɔm tso Kristo ƒe ʋu me oa? Azɔ ne míeka abolo ɖeka me heɖu la, esia hã fia be mí katã míekpɔ viɖe tɔxɛ tso Kristo ƒe ŋutilã me oa?
The cup of blessing, which we bless; is it not the joint participation of the blood of Christ? The loaf, which we break; is it not the joint participation of the body of Christ?
17 Ne míesɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe hã la, abolo ɖeka ma ko míemana ɖuna. Esia ɖo kpe edzi na mí be mí katã míenye Kristo ƒe ŋutilã ɖeka ma ƒe akpa aɖe.
Because there is one loaf, we, the many, are one body: for we all participate of that one loaf.
18 Nenema ke le Israelviwo dome hã la, ame siwo katã ɖua vɔsalẽvi la ƒe ɖe la zua ame ɖeka.
Look at Israel after the flesh. Are not they, who eat of the sacrifices, joint partakers of the altar?
19 Ame aɖe abia be, ɖe mele gbɔgblɔm be legba siwo trɔ̃subɔlawo saa vɔ na la nye Mawu gbagbewo, eye woƒe vɔsawo hã nye nu xɔasiwo mahã? Gbeɖe! Mele nenema kura o.
What, then, do I affirm? that an idol is anything, or than an idol sacrifice is anything?
20 Nu si gblɔm mele boŋ lae nye be ame siwo ɖa nu na legbawo la wɔ ɖeka le gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo subɔm, menye Mawu subɔm wole kura o. Azɔ nyemedi be miade ha kple gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo to trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsanu siawo ɖuɖu me o.
No. But, that what the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now, I would not have you become joint partakers with the demons.
21 Miate ŋu ano nu le Aƒetɔ la ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu vɔ agatrɔ aɖanoe le gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ hã ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu o; nenema ke miate ŋu aɖu abolo le Aƒetɔ la ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu vɔ agaɖui le Abosam hã gbɔ o.
You can not drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons: you can not partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.
22 Nu ka? Ɖe miedi be yewoado dɔmedzoe na Aƒetɔa? Ɖe miebu be miesesẽ wuia?
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
23 Ne ame aɖe di be yeaɖu trɔ̃wo ƒe vɔsanuɖuɖu la, ate ŋu aɖui faa, meda Mawu ƒe se aɖeke dzi o, gake menye eya ta ame naɖu nu sia o. Togbɔ be se aɖeke mexe mɔ nɛ o hã la, ɖewohĩ nuwɔna sia medze tututu be wòawɔ o.
All things are lawful, but all are not expedient; all are lawful, but all do not edify.
24 Miganye ɖokuitɔdilawo o, ke boŋ mibu mia nɔewo ŋu le miaƒe wɔnawo me.
Let no one seek his own, but that of his neighbor, also.
25 Azɔ ne mieyi asi me la, miƒle lã ɖe sia ɖe si dzram wole, eye migabia be afi ka lãa tso hã o. Ne menye nenema o la, ɖewohĩ ŋuɖoɖo la aɖe fu na miaƒe dzitsinya.
Whatever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question on account of conscience;
26 Minyae be xexea me katã kple emenu nyuiwo katã nye Aƒetɔ la tɔ eye wòtsɔ wo na mi be miawɔ wo ŋu dɔ le dzidzɔ me.
"for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof."
27 Ne dzimaxɔsetɔ kpe mi kristotɔwo be miva ɖu nu kple ye eye wòdzro mi be miayi la, miate ŋu ayi faa. Nuɖuɖu ɖe sia ɖe si wòtsɔ ɖo mia kɔme la, miɖui eye migabia be, nu ka woɖa hã o. Mizi kpi eye miaɖu nua ekema trɔ̃wo ƒe vɔsanuɖuɖunya mava eme si aɖe fu na miaƒe dzitsinya o.
And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and you incline to go, whatever is set before you, eat; asking no question on account of conscience.
28 Gake ne miebe yewoaɖu nua ko, ame aɖe gblɔ be wotsɔ nuɖuɖu la sa vɔ na trɔ̃wo gbã hafi tsɔ na mi la, ekema migaɖui o, ɖe nu si ame si gblɔ nya sia na mi la abu tso nu si mieɖu la ŋuti ta.
But if any one say to you, This is a thing sacrificed to an idol; do not eat, on account of him who showed it, and of conscience.
29 Le nya sia me la, edze be miabu nu si ame sia gblɔ tso nuɖuɖu la ŋuti ŋu vevie. Eye miabia be, nu ka ta wòle be ame bubu ƒe dzitsinya nawɔ mi kluviwoe le nu si mienya be enyo la ŋuti?
Now, I say conscience, not your own, but that of the other. But why is my liberty judged by another's conscience?
30 Ne màte ŋu ada akpe na Mawu ɖe nuɖuɖu la ta ko aɖui la, nu ka ta wòle be mana ame bubu nagblẽ nu siawo katã me, elabena eya bu be meda vo?
But if, by favor, I be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
31 Nu si ta megblɔ esia ɖo lae nye be ele be miawɔ nu sia nu na Mawu ƒe kafukafu, le miaƒe nuɖuɖu kple nunono gɔ̃ hã me.
Whether, then, you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Eya ta miganye mɔxenu na ame aɖeke o, eɖanye Yudatɔwo, Grikitɔwo alo Mawu ƒe hame la o.
Be no occasion of stumbling; neither to the Jews, nor to the Greeks, nor to the congregation of God.
33 Nu si nye ya mewɔna lae nye be medzea agbagba be madze ame sia ame ŋu le nu sia nu me. Menye be malé nu si doa dzidzɔ na nye ŋutɔ ɖeɖe ko me ɖe asi o. Ke boŋ mewɔa nu si nyo na ame bubuwo hã be mate ŋu aɖe wo.
Even as I please all men in all things; not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
