1 Kolinta 10

1 N kpiiba mii bua ke yaala n den tieni ti yaajanba n ya boani yi: Ku tawaligu den yiini bikuli po, bikuli den duodi mi ñincianma.

For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, how that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 Bikuli den baa mi batisima Musa niinini ku tawaligu nni leni mi ñincianma nni.

and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 Bikuli den di jeyenma yaama n ña U Tienu kani,

and did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 ki go ñu bonñokayenla yaala n ña u Tienu kani, kelima bi den ñu ya tangu ya ñima n ñani U Tienu kani, yaagu n den yegi leni ba. Laa tangu den tie kilisiti.

and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.

5 Ama bi siiga boncianla ki den mangidi U Tienu pali, lani n teni ke bi den kpe mi fanpienma nni.

Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Lankuli tie ti po li bonbangikaala, ki bua ki tuodi ki bangi ti ke tin da bua yaala n bia nani bani yeni.

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 Yin da hoadi i buli nani bi siiga bi tianba n den tieni maama. Nani lan diani maama: «Bi den kali ki dini ki go ñu, lani n pendi bi den fii ki jeli ki ciaga.»

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Tin da pa ti yula mi conconma mo nani bi siiga bi tianba n den puni bi yula mipo maama, ke piilie n niba tuda taa den kpe dayenli.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Tin da biigi o Diedo nani bi siiga bi tianba n den tiedi maama ke i we ku ba.

Neither let us tempt the Lord, as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.

10 Yin da yenbidi mo nani bi siiga bi tianba n den yenbidi maama, ke mi kuuma maleki den ku ba.

Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.

11 Laa bonla kuli den baa bipo ki baa tie bi niba kuli po li bonbangikaala. U Tienu den teni ke likuli diani ki baa tie tipo i dundi, tinba yaaba n ye handuna juodima dana siiga. (aiōn g165)

Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. (aiōn g165)

12 Lanyaapo yua n tama ke o se wan fangi o yuli ki da baa.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

13 Tulinmaba kuli kan cua yi kani kaa tie yaama n kpendi bi nisaaliba kuli po. U Tienu tie dugika, o kan tuo ya tulinma n cie yi fidu bianu n cua yi kani. Ama mi biigima ya cua yi kani, o baa hanbi yipo u sanu ke yin fidi ki juuni ki ña lienni

There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

14 Lanyaapo n buakaaba, yin sani mani ki foagidi leni i buli hoadima.

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

15 N maadi leni yi kelima yi tie yanfodanba, yin bigi mani mi maadi yaama na.

I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

16 Li seli tadiñokaaga tin tuondi U Tienu yaaga yaapo, naani kaa tie mi taanyenma leni Kilisiti soama po kaa? Tin cabidi ya dupen, naani tii tie mi taanyenma leni Kilisiti gbanandi po kaa?

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ?

17 Dupen tie yendo, tinba yaaba n yaba moko tie gbananyendi, kelima tikuli taani ki boagidi laa dupen yendo

seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of the one bread.

18 Kpaagi mani Isalele yaaba po, bi ya dini tipadijiedi, naani baa pia taayenma leni U Tienu kaa?

Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they which eat the sacrifices communion with the altar?

19 N bua ki yedi be? Ke o bulo tie bonmoanla bi? Bi ke ban padi yaala o bulo tie bonmoanla bi? Kalam.

What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

20 N bua ki yedi ke yaaba n padi i buli yeni padi mu cicibiadimu po yo, baa padi U Tienu po ka. Mii bua ke yin ya pia hantaado leni mu cicibiadimu.

But [I say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with devils.

21 Yi kan fidi ki ño o Diedo tadiñokaaga ki go ño mu cicibiadimu ya tadiñokaaga. Yi kan taani ki je o Diedo jiema, ki go taani li je mu cicibiadimu mo ya jiema.

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.

22 Ti baa tieni yeni ki ñuuni o Diedo li mutuoli bii? Ti pia o fidu ki cie o bi?

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

23 Yi tua: «Liba kuli ki go kua» yeni, ama li bonla kuli ka hani, «Li ba kuli ki go kua, ama li bonla kuli ka todi.

All things are lawful; but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful; but all things edify not.

24 Oba kuli da lingi o yuceli bebe ya hamu, ama wan ya lingi yaala n tie o lieba moko yaapo.

Let no man seek his own, but [each] his neighbour’s [good].

25 Yi pia u sanu ki hamani ya nandi kuadi ki daaga nni kuli, ki da tuo yi pala siedi n ya bangi liba kuli po,

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience sake;

26 kelima li diani ki yedi: «O Diedo die ki tinga Leni yaala n ye ki niinni kuli.»

for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

27 Yua ki daani ya yini yi ke yin cua ki je leni o, ke yi bua ki gedi, je mani wan teni ya jiema kuli, ki da buali kelima yi pali siedi po.

If one of them that believe not biddeth you [to a feast], and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

28 Ama o nilo ya yedi yi: «Ya nandi n tie na tie padinandi, » da je mani kelima ya nilo n waani yi la po, leni li pali siedo po.

But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake:

29 N baa ya nilo n waani yi yeni ya pali siedo, mii maadi yi ya pali siedo ka. Be yaaapo ke nitoa pali siedi ba bu leni min pia u sanu ki tieni yaala yaapo?

conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

30 N ya tuondi U Tienu n jiema po, be yaapo ke bi baa jaligin nni min tuondi U Tienu ya jiema po?

If I by grace partake, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

31 Lani, yi ya baa je, leni yi ya baa ño, leni yin baa tieni yaala kuli, tieni mani li kuli U Tienu ya kpiagidi po.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

32 Yin da tieni mani yaala n baa teni Jufinba leni yaaba kaa tie Jufinba leni U Tienu n yini yaaba n tuudi ki baa ti tuonbiadi nni.

Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:

33 N moko moandi ki tiendi yeni ki baa dagidi leni bi niba kuli min tiendi yaala kuli nni. Mii tiendi yeni ki bua ki lingi yuceli hamu kaa, n lingi yaaba yaba ya hamu po, ke ban baa ki tindi

even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the [profit] of the many, that they may be saved.
