1 Korinttilaisille 10
1 Mutta en minä tahdo sitä teiltä, rakkaat veljet, salata, että meidän isämme ovat kaikki pilven alla olleet ja kaikki meren lävitse vaeltaneet,
My fellow believers, I want to remind you about our(exc) [Jewish] ancestors. They were all under the cloud [by which God miraculously led them and protected them when they left Egypt with Moses]. All those ancestors crossed the [Red] Sea [after God miraculously made the water separate so that they could walk through it].
2 Ja kaikki Mosekseen kastetut pilvessä ja meressä.
God caused all of them to begin to live under the authority of [MTY] Moses [when they walked] under that cloud and [walked through the Red] Sea.
3 Ja ovat kaikki yhtäläistä hengellistä ruokaa syöneet,
All [those ancestors of ours ate the same food that God] miraculously [provided].
4 Ja kaikki yhtäläistä hengellistä juomaa juoneet; sillä he joivat siitä hengellisestä kalliosta, joka heitä seurasi; mutta se kallio oli Kristus.
They all drank water that [God] miraculously [provided]. That is, they all drank water that God miraculously made come out of the rock. That rock was [a symbol of] [MET] Christ, who went with them. [So we conclude that God helped all of those people in many ways].
5 Mutta ei heistä monta olleet Jumalalle otolliset; sillä he maahan lyötiin korvessa.
However, [we also conclude that] God was angry [LIT] with most of those people [because they sinned against him. He caused almost all of them to die, and as] a result their bodies were scattered in the desert.
6 Mutta nämä olivat meille esikuvaksi, ettemme pahaa himoitsisi, niinkuin he himoitsivat.
Those things [that happened long ago] became examples to teach us [the following things]: We should not desire to [do] evil things as those people desired to do.
7 Älkäät siis olko epäjumalain palveliat, niinkuin muutamat heistä, niinkuin kirjoitettu on: kansa istui syömään ja juomaan, ja nousi mässäämään.
We should not worship idols as many of those people did. [Remember that Moses] wrote, “The people sat down. They ate and drank [to honor the golden calf that they had just made]. Then they got up to dance [immorally].”
8 Älkäämme huorin tehkö, niinkuin muutamat heistä itsensä huoruudella saastuttivat ja lankesivat yhtenä päivänä kolmekolmattakymmentä tuhatta.
We should not have sexual relations with someone to whom we are not married, as many of them did. As a result, God [punished them by] causing 23,000 people to die in [only] one day.
9 Älkäämme Kristusta kiusatko, niinkuin myös muutamat heistä kiusasivat ja surmattiin kärmeiltä.
We should not try to see how much we can sin without the Lord punishing us. Some of them did that, and as a result they died because [poisonous] snakes [bit them].
10 Älkäät napisko, niinkuin muutamat heistä napisivat ja hukattiin kadottajalta.
We should not complain [about what God does]. Some of them did that, and as a result an angel destroyed them. [So God will certainly punish us if we sin like they did].
11 Mutta kaikki nämä tulivat heidän kohtaansa esikuvaksi; vaan se on kirjoitettu meille karttamiseksi, joidenka päälle maailman loput tulleet ovat. (aiōn g165)
All those things [that happened to our ancestors long ago] are examples for us. [Moses] wrote those things to warn us [who are living at this time which is near the end]. We are the people for whom God has done [the things that he decided to do in] the previous periods of time. (aiōn g165)
12 Sentähden joka luulee seisovansa, katsokaan, ettei hän lankee.
So [I say this to] all those who confidently [think that they will always] steadfastly continue to [believe what God said and will never disobey what he commanded]: Be careful that you [(sg)] do not sin [when you are tempted].
13 Eipä yksikään kiusaus ole teitä käsittänyt, vaan inhimillinen; mutta Jumala on uskollinen, joka ei salli teitä kiusattaa ylitse teidän voimanne; vaan hän tekee myös kiusauksesta lopun, että te sen voisitte kärsiä.
[Remember that] your desires to sin are the same desires that other people have. But when you are tempted to sin, you can trust God [to help you]. He will not permit you to be tempted {anything to tempt you} more than you are able to resist. Instead, when you are tempted {things tempt you}, he will also provide a way [for you] to endure it [without sinning].
14 Sentähden, minun rakkaani, paetkaat epäjumalain palvelusta!
So, [I say to] you people whom I love, [avoid] worshipping idols [just like you would] run away from [anything that is dangerous].
15 Minä puhun niinkuin toimellisille: tuomitkaat te, mitä minä sanon.
It is to people who [think that they] are wise that I write. So, you, as wise people, judge whether what I am writing [is true].
16 Se siunattu kalkki, jota me siunaamme, eikö se ole Kristuksen veren osallisuus? Se leipä, jonka me murramme, eikö se ole Kristuksen ruumiin osallisuus?
[During the Lord’s Supper, after we ask God to] bless (the [wine]/the [juice]) [in the] cup, we give thanks for it [and drink it]. By doing that, we certainly are [RHQ] sharing in what Christ [did for us when] his blood [flowed from his body when he died. During the Lord’s Supper, when we break] the bread [and eat it], we are certainly sharing in [MTY] what Christ [did for us when] his body [suffered for us on the cross]. [RHQ]
17 Sillä se on yksi leipä, niin mekin monta olemme yksi ruumis; sillä me kaikki yhdestä leivästä olemme osalliset.
Because it is one loaf of bread that we [break and eat during the Lord’s Supper, it symbolizes that] we who are many are one group, because we all eat from the one loaf.
18 Katsokaat Israelia lihan jälkeen: eikö ne, jotka uhria syövät, ole alttarista osalliset?
Consider [what happens when] the Israeli people [eat the food that the priests] sacrifice on the altar [outside the Temple]. They participate in [what the priests do at] [MTY] the altar. [RHQ] [Similarly, if you eat food that non-believers have offered to an idol in a temple, you are participating in their worship of the idol there].
19 Mitäs siis minä sanon, että epäjumalat jotakin ovat, eli jos epäjumalain uhri jotakin on?
By saying that, [I] do not mean that offering food to an idol makes it anything [more than just ordinary food [RHQ].] I do not mean that an idol is anything [more than just an idol].
20 Mutta sen minä sanon: mitä pakanat uhraavat, sen he perkeleille uhraavat ja ei Jumalalle. En minä tahdo, että teidän pitää oleman perkeleistä osalliset.
No! Instead, I mean that what people sacrifice [to idols], they are sacrificing to demons, not to God. So, [if you eat food that has been sacrificed to idols, you are participating in worshipping the demons that the idols represent]. And I do not want you to participate in worshipping demons!
21 Ette taida Herran kalkkia juoda ja perkeleiden kalkkia. Ette taida osalliset olla Herran pöydästä ja perkeleiden pöydästä.
When you drink the [grape juice/wine in] [MTY] the cup [at the Lord’s Supper], you cannot participate in the [blessings that] the Lord [Jesus] brought to us and at the same time drink the [wine in the] [MTY] cup that people offer to demons! When you eat at the Lord’s table, you cannot participate in the blessings the Lord provided [MTY] when he died for us and at the same time participate in the things that represent demons [by eating food that has been sacrificed to idols]
22 Eli tahdommeko me Herraa härsytellä? Olemmeko me häntä väkevämmät?
[If you participate in honoring demons in that way], you will certainly make the Lord very angry [RHQ]! (Remember that you are certainly not stronger than he is./Do you think that you are stronger than he is?) [RHQ] [Certainly not, so you will not escape his punishing you if you honor demons in that way!]
23 Kaikki tosin ovat minulle luvalliset, vaan ei kaikki ole tarpeelliset. Kaikki ovat minulle luvalliset, mutta ei kaikki tapahdu parannukseksi.
[Some people say], “[God] permits [believers to do] anything.” But [I say that] not everything that people do benefits [those who do it! Yes, some people say], “God permits [believers to do] all things.” But not everything that people do helps them to become [spiritually] mature.
24 Älkään kenkään omaa parastansa katsoko, vaan toisen.
No one should try to benefit [only] himself. Instead, each person should try to benefit other people [spiritually].
25 Kaikkea, mitä teurashuoneessa myydään, syökäät ja älkäät omantunnon tähden kyselkö.
[This is what you should do]: Eat any [food] that is sold {that people sell} in the market. Do not ask questions [to find out if that food has been offered] {[someone offered that food]} [to idols, just] because you think it would be wrong [to eat such food].
26 Sillä maa on Herran, ja kaikki mitä siinä on.
[Remember that the Psalmist wrote], “Everything on the earth belongs to [the] Lord [God because he created it!]” [So, food that has been offered to idols belongs to the Lord, not to the idols, and you may eat it].
27 Mutta kuin joku uskomatoin teitä vieraaksi kutsuu ja te mennä tahdotte, niin syökäät kaikkia, mitä teidän eteenne tuodaan ja älkäät omantunnon tähden kyselkö.
If a non-believer invites you to a meal, go if you want to, and eat any food that is set {that [he] sets} before you. Do not ask [whether it was offered to idols, just] because you think that it would be wrong [to eat such food].
28 Mutta jos joku silloin teille sanois: tämä on epäjumalain uhri, niin älkäät syökö, hänen tähtensä, joka sen ilmoitti, ja omantunnon tähden. Sillä maa on Herran ja kaikki mitä siinä on.
But if someone says to you, “This is food that was sacrificed [to an idol],” do not eat it, for the sake of the person who told that to you, and also because someone there may think that it is wrong [to eat such food].
29 Mutta minä sanon omastatunnosta: ei sinun, vaan toisen; sillä minkätähden minun vapauteni tuomitaan toisen omaltatunnolta?
I do not mean that you [should be concerned about whether it is all right to eat such food]. What I mean is that you should be concerned about others who may think that it is wrong to eat such food. Since I know that I (am free/have the right) [to eat such food without God punishing me], no one should [RHQ] say that what I am doing is wrong just because he himself thinks that it is wrong.
30 Sillä koska minä sen kiitoksella nautitsen, miksis minua pilkataan sen edestä, josta minä kiitän?
If I thank [God] for the food when I eat [food that has been offered to an idol], no one should criticize me for eating food for which I have thanked God [RHQ]!
31 Jos te nyt syötte eli juotte, eli mitä te teette, niin tehkäät kaikki Jumalan kunniaksi.
So [I say to you in conclusion], when you eat [food], or drink [something], or do anything else, do everything in order that [people will] praise God.
32 Olkaat ilman pahennusta sekä Juudalaisille että Grekiläisille ja Jumalan seurakunnalle,
Do not do anything that would hinder Jews or Greeks [from becoming believers], and do not do things that would encourage members of God’s congregations to sin.
33 Niinkuin minä kaikissa kaikille kelpaan ja en etsi omaa parastani, vaan monen, että he autuaaksi tulisivat.
[Do as I do]. I try to please everyone in every way. I do this by not seeking to benefit myself. Instead, I try to benefit many others, in order that they may be saved {that [God] may save them} [from the guilt of their sins].
