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.
And, my Brethren, I would have you know, that our fathers were all of them under the cloud, and they all passed through the sea;
2 Nuwɔna sia zu mawutsideta na wo kple Mose ɖe Ƒu la me.
and they were all baptized by Moses, in the cloud and in the sea;
3 Wo katã woɖu gbɔgbɔmenuɖuɖu ma ke,
and they all ate the same spiritual food;
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 they all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that attended them, and that rock was the Messiah.
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.
But with a multitude of them, God was not pleased; for they fell 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 were an example for us, that we should not hanker after evil things as they hankered.
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 should we serve idols, as some of them served; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to sport.
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; and there fell in one day twenty and 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 tempt the Messiah, as some of them tempted; and serpents destroyed them.
10 Le esi wolĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe Mawu ŋu ta la, Mawu ɖo mawudɔla aɖe ɖa wòva tsrɔ̃ wo dometɔ geɖewo hã.
Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured; and they 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)
All these things which befell them, were for an example to us; and they are written for our instruction, on whom the end of the world hath 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 thinketh he standeth, beware 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 cometh on you, but what pertaineth to men: and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tried beyond your ability, but will make an issue to your trial, that ye may be able to sustain it.
14 Eya ta nɔvi lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, mite ɖa le trɔ̃subɔsubɔ gbɔ.
Wherefore, my Beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 Menya be nunyalawo mienye eya ta mibu nya si gblɔ ge mala na mi ŋuti kpɔ.
I speak as to the wise; judge ye 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 thanksgiving which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of the Messiah? And the bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of the Messiah?
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.
As therefore that bread is one, so we are all one body; for we all take to ourselves from that one bread.
18 Nenema ke le Israelviwo dome hã la, ame siwo katã ɖua vɔsalẽvi la ƒe ɖe la zua ame ɖeka.
Behold the Israel who are in the flesh; are not they who eat the victims, participators 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 say? That an idol is any thing? Or, that an idol's sacrifice is any thing? No.
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.
But that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. And I would not, that ye should be associates of 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.
Ye cannot drink the cup of our Lord, and the cup of demons; and ye cannot be partakers at the table of our Lord, and at the table of demons.
22 Nu ka? Ɖe miedi be yewoado dɔmedzoe na Aƒetɔa? Ɖe miebu be miesesẽ wuia?
Or, would we sedulously provoke our Lord's 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.
Every thing is in my power; but every thing is not profitable. Every thing is in my power; but every thing doth not edify.
24 Miganye ɖokuitɔdilawo o, ke boŋ mibu mia nɔewo ŋu le miaƒe wɔnawo me.
Let no one seek his own things, but also the things of his fellow-man.
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 flesh-market, eat ye, without an inquiry 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, in its fullness.
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 one of the Gentiles invite you, and ye are disposed to go, eat ye whatever is set before you, without an inquiry 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 shall say to you, This pertaineth to a sacrifice; eat not, for the sake of him who told you, and for conscience's sake.
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?
The conscience I speak of, is not your own, but his who told you. But why is my liberty judged of, by the conscience of others?
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?
If I by grace partake, why am I reproached 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.
If therefore ye eat, or if ye drink, or if ye do any thing, do all things for the glory of God.
32 Eya ta miganye mɔxenu na ame aɖeke o, eɖanye Yudatɔwo, Grikitɔwo alo Mawu ƒe hame la o.
Be ye without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church 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 also, in every thing, please every man; and do not seek what is profitable to me, but what is profitable to many; that they may live.
