1 Korint 10
1 Frè m' yo, mwen vle fè nou chonje sa ki te rive zansèt nou yo lè yo t'ap swiv Moyiz. Yo tout te anba pwoteksyon nwaj la, yo tout te pase nan mitan Lanmè Wouj la.
BUT I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 Antan yo te nan nwaj la ak nan lanmè a ansanm ak Moyiz, yo tout te resevwa yon batèm.
and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 Yo tout te manje menm manje Lespri Bondye te ba yo a.
and did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 Yo tout te bwè menm bwason Lespri Bondye te ba yo a. Se konsa yo t'ap bwè dlo ki t'ap soti nan gwo wòch Lespri Bondye te ba yo epi ki t'ap mache ansanm ak yo a: Wòch sa a, se te Kris la menm.
and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock which followed them; but that rock was Christ.
5 Atousa, anpil ladan yo pa t' fè Bondye plezi. Se poutèt sa yo tonbe, yo mouri nan dezè a.
Nevertheless with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were destroyed in the wilderness.
6 Tout bagay sa yo rive pou sa sèvi nou leson pou nou pa kite move lanvi kaye nan kè nou tankou yo te genyen l' lan.
Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted.
7 Piga nou sèvi zidòl tankou kèk ladan yo te fè l', jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Pèp la chita, yo manje, yo bwè. Lèfini, yo leve pran plezi yo.
Neither be ye idolaters as some of them; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport themselves.”
8 Pa lage kò nou nan dezòd lachè tankou kèk ladan yo te fè li. Lè sa a, venntwamil (23.000) tonbe, yo mouri yon sèl jou.
Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them also committed, and in one day fell twenty-three thousand.
9 Piga nou seye fè plan ak Bondye tankou kèk ladan yo te fè li. Sa lakòz sèpan te mòde yo, yo tout yo mouri.
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.
10 Pa bougonnen tankou kèk ladan yo te bougonnen. Lè sa a, zanj lanmò a te touye yo tout.
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
11 Tout bagay sa yo rive pou sa sèvi lòt yo egzanp. Yo ekri yo nan Liv la pou sa sèvi nou avètisman. Paske, pou nou menm k'ap viv koulye a, pa rete lontan ankò anvan pou lafen an rive. (aiōn g165)
Now all these things happened unto them as examples, but they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come. (aiōn g165)
12 Se sak fè, moun ki kwè li byen kanpe a, pito li veye kò l' pou l' pa tonbe.
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
13 Tout tantasyon nou jwenn sou chemen nou, se menm kalite tantasyon tout moun jwenn sou chemen yo tou. Men, Bondye li menm toujou kenbe pawòl li: li p'ap kite yo tante nou yon jan ki depase sa nou ka sipòte. Men, lè nou va anba tantasyon an, la ban nou fòs pou nou ka sipòte l', pou nou ka soti anba li.
No temptation hath overtaken you, but what is common to men. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to bear; but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear up under it.
14 Se poutèt sa, zanmi m' yo, pa mele nan sèvis zidòl yo.
Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 M'ap pale ak nou tankou ak moun ki gen bon konprann: jije nou menm sa m'ap di a.
I speak as unto wise men: judge ye what I say.
16 Gode benediksyon n'ap bwè a, lè nou fin di Bondye mèsi pou li, èske se pa san Kris la n'ap separe bay tout moun? Pen nou kase a, lè n'ap manje l', èske se pa kò Kris la n'ap separe bay tout moun?
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 Se yon sèl pen ki genyen, pa vre? Nou menm tou, nou te mèt anpil, nou fè yon sèl kò, paske se yon sèl pen an nou separe bay tout moun.
For we, though many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf.
18 Ann konsidere jan sa fèt kay moun ras Izrayèl yo: moun ki manje vyann bèt ki te ofri pou touye pou Bondye sou lòtèl la, li vin an komenyon ak Bondye ki mèt lòtèl la.
Behold Israel after the flesh. Are not they who eat of the sacrifices partakers with the altar?
19 Kisa m' vle di la a? Gen lè zidòl y'ap sèvi a, osinon vyann bèt yo ofri pou touye ba li a gen yon valè?
What do I say then? that an idol is any thing, or that which is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?
20 Non! Men sa m' vle di: ofrann bèt moun lòt nasyon yo ap fè a, se pa pou Bondye, se pou denmon yo fè li. Mwen pa ta vle nou vin an komenyon ak denmon yo.
But that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to daemons, and not to God: and I would not have you in communion with daemons.
21 Nou pa kapab ap bwè nan gode Seyè a anmenmtan pou n'ap bwè nan gode denmon yo tou. Nou pa kapab ap manje sou menm tab avèk Seyè a anmenmtan pou n'ap manje sou menm tab ak denmon yo.
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of daemons: ye cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and the table of daemons.
22 Osinon, èske nou vle fè Seyè a fè jalouzi? Eske nou kwè nou gen plis fòs pase li?
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23 Nou gen dwa fè nenpòt bagay. Se sa yo di, epi se vre. Men, tout bagay pa bon pou fèt. Nou gen dwa fè tout bagay, men se pa tout bagay k'ap fè nou grandi nan konfyans nan Bondye.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24 Piga pesonn chache sa ki bon pou tèt pa l' ase. Se pou l' chache enterè lòt yo tou.
Let no man seek his own gratification, but every one another’s good.
25 Nou lib manje tou sa yo vann nan mache vyann san nou pa bezwen mande anyen. Konsa, konsyans nou p'ap twouble.
Every thing which is sold in the shambles eat, asking no question for conscience sake;
26 Paske, jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Se pou Mèt la tè a ye ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l'.
“for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.”
27 Si yon moun ki pa gen konfyans nan Kris la envite nou nan yon fèt, si nou asepte ale, se pou n' manje tou sa yo mete devan nou, san nou pa bezwen mande anyen. Konsa, konsyans pesonn p'ap twouble.
And if any one of those, who do not believe, invite you, and ye incline to go, eat every thing set before you, asking no question for conscience sake.
28 Men, si yon moun di nou vyann sa a se vyann bèt yo te ofri bay zidòl, lè sa a, pa goute l' poutèt moun ki fè ou remak la, pou konsyans pesonn pa boulvèse.
But if any person say unto you, This is an idol’s sacrifice, eat not of it, for his sake who pointed it out, and for conscience sake. For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
29 Mwen pa di sa pou konsyans pa nou non, men pou konsyans lòt moun lan. Men, yon moun va mande m': Ki jan konsyans yon lòt moun ka sèvi m' antrav nan sa m' gen dwa fè?
Conscience indeed I say, not merely thine own, but that of the other person.
30 Si mwen di Bondye mèsi pou sa m'ap manje a, ki jan pou yo ta ka pale m' mal pou yon manje konsa?
For why is my liberty abridged by another’s conscience? If I truly with thanksgiving am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31 Se sak fè, kit n'ap manje, kit n'ap bwè, nenpòt kisa n'ap fè, fè l' pou sa sèvi yon lwanj pou Bondye.
Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all things to the glory of God.
32 Se pou nou viv yon jan pou nou pa bay ni jwif yo, ni moun ki pa jwif yo, ni legliz Bondye a okazyon tonbe nan peche.
Give no occasion of stumbling either to the Jews or the Gentiles, or the church of God:
33 Se pou nou fè tankou m': nan tou sa m'ap fè, m'ap fè mwayen posib pou m' fè tout moun plezi; mwen p'ap chache avantaj pa m', men avantaj tout moun, pou tout moun ka sove.
even as I please all men, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
