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.
Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, 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 baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 Yo tout te manje menm manje Lespri Bondye te ba yo a.
and all ate the same spiritual food;
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 all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
5 Atousa, anpil ladan yo pa t' fè Bondye plezi. Se poutèt sa yo tonbe, yo mouri nan dezè a.
However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown 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 our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
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.
Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
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.
Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
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.
Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
10 Pa bougonnen tankou kèk ladan yo te bougonnen. Lè sa a, zanj lanmò a te touye yo tout.
Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, 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 to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
12 Se sak fè, moun ki kwè li byen kanpe a, pito li veye kò l' pou l' pa tonbe.
Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t 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 has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
14 Se poutèt sa, zanmi m' yo, pa mele nan sèvis zidòl yo.
Therefore, 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 to wise men. Judge 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, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing 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.
Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
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.
Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in 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 am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
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 I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
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.
You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.
22 Osinon, èske nou vle fè Seyè a fè jalouzi? Eske nou kwè nou gen plis fòs pase li?
Or 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 not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
24 Piga pesonn chache sa ki bon pou tèt pa l' ase. Se pou l' chache enterè lòt yo tou.
Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’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.
Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
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 its fullness.”
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.
But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
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 anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
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, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
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?
If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
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 you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all 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 for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly 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 also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
