1 Ndị Kọrint 10
1 Ụmụnna m, achọghị m ka unu chefuo ihe mere nna nna anyị ha mgbe ha jere ije nʼime ọzara. O ji igwe ojii duo ha. O mekwara ka ha si nʼetiti Osimiri Uhie gafee.
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 Nʼime igwe ojii ahụ, na nʼime osimiri ahụ e tinyere ha niile na baptizim, dịka ndị na-eso ụzọ Mosis.
and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 Ha niile rikwara ihe oriri nke mmụọ ahụ.
and did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 Ha ṅụkwara mmiri mmụọ ahụ, mmiri sitere nʼoke nkume mmụọ ahụ, nke na-eso ha. Oke nkume ahụ bụ Kraịst nʼonwe ya.
and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock which followed them; but that rock was Christ.
5 Nʼihe ndị a niile, omume ha amasịghị Chineke. Nʼihi nke a, ọ lara ha nʼiyi nʼime ọzara.
Nevertheless with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were destroyed in the wilderness.
6 Ugbu a, ihe ndị a niile bụkwa ihe ịdọ aka na ntị nye anyị, ka anyị hapụ ịbụ ndị agụụ ime ihe ọjọọ na-agụ dịka ha.
Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted.
7 Unu abụla ndị na-ekpere arụsị dịka ụfọdụ ha mere. Dịka e dere ya, “Ndị a nọdụrụ ala iri ihe na ịṅụ ihe ọṅụṅụ, biliekwa ọtọ gwurie egwu ime onwe ha obi ụtọ.”
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 Ka anyị ghara ịkwa iko dịka ụfọdụ nʼime ha mere, iri puku mmadụ abụọ na atọ nʼime ha nwụọ nʼotu ụbọchị.
Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them also committed, and in one day fell twenty-three thousand.
9 Ka anyị hapụ ịnwa Kraịst ọnwụnwa dịka ụfọdụ nʼime ha si nwaa Chineke. E mere ka agwọ tagbusie ha.
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.
10 Ka anyị hapụkwa itamu ntamu dịka ụfọdụ ha mere ma bụrụ ndị Mmụọ ozi ọnwụ tigburu.
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
11 Ihe ndị a niile dakwasịrị ha ka ọ bụrụ ihe ilere anya nye anyị. E dekwara ha nʼakwụkwọ ka ha bụrụ anyị ihe ịdọ aka na ntị nʼihi na anyị bi nʼoge a mgbe ọgwụgwụ ihe niile dị nso. (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 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ị na-eche na ị guzosiri ike, lezie anya ka ị ghara ịda.
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
13 O nweghị ọnwụnwa ọbụla nwara unu nke abịakwutebeghị mmadụ. Chineke kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, ọ gaghị ekwe ka a nwaa unu karịa ike unu. Kama mgbe a na-anwa unu, ọ ga-enye unu ike imeri ọnwụnwa ma gosikwa unu ụzọ mgbapụ nʼime ya.
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 Ya mere, ndị enyi m hụrụ nʼanya, gbaaranụ ikpere arụsị ọsọ.
Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 Ana m agwa ndị nwere uche okwu, unu onwe unu tulenụ ihe m na-ekwu.
I speak as unto wise men: judge ye what I say.
16 Iko ngọzị ahụ nke anyị na-agọzi, ọ bụghị iketa oke site nʼọbara Kraịst? Achịcha nke anyị na-anyawa, ọ bụghị iketa oke nʼahụ Kraịst?
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 Nʼihi na otu achịcha dị, ọ bụ ezie na anyị dị ọtụtụ, anyị bụ otu ahụ, nʼihi na anyị niile na-eketa oke nʼotu ogbe achịcha ahụ.
For we, though many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf.
18 Chetanụ ka ndị Izrel siri mee: ọ bụ na ndị na-eri ihe eji chụọ aja abụghị ndị nnwekọ nʼebe ịchụ aja?
Behold Israel after the flesh. Are not they who eat of the sacrifices partakers with the altar?
19 Gịnị ka okwu ndị a m na-ekwu pụtara? Na arụsị, maọbụ ihe a chụrụ nʼaja nye arụsị bụ ihe ọbụla, maọbụ na ọ bụghị ihe?
What do I say then? that an idol is any thing, or that which is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?
20 Mba! Ihe m na-ekwu bụ na ndị niile na-achụrụ arụsị aja jikọtara onwe ha nʼotu obi ịchụrụ ekwensu aja ahụ. Ọ bụghị Chineke. Achọkwaghị m ka unu bụrụ ndị e jikọtara ha na ekwensu.
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 Unu apụghị ịṅụ site nʼiko Onyenwe anyị ma ṅụọkwa site nʼiko ekwensu; unu apụghịkwa inwe oke site na tebul Onyenwe anyị na tebul ekwensu.
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 Anyị na-achọ ime ka iwe wee Onyenwe anyị? Anyị dị ike karịa ya?
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23 Ị na-asị, “Enwere m ike ime ihe niile m maara na m kwesiri ime,” ma ọ bụghị ihe niile ga-abara m uru. “Enwere m ike ime ihe niile m maara ziri ezi,” ma ọ bụghị ihe niile nwere ike inyere anyị aka.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24 Ka onye ọbụla hapụ ịchọ ọdịmma nke onwe ya, kama ọdịmma nke ndị ọzọ.
Let no man seek his own gratification, but every one another’s good.
25 Rie ihe bụ anụ ọbụla e rere nʼahịa na-ajụghị ajụjụ ọbụla nʼihi akọnuche.
Every thing which is sold in the shambles eat, asking no question for conscience sake;
26 Nʼihi na, “Ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.”
“for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.”
27 Ọ bụrụ na onye na-ekweghị ekwe akpọọ unu oriri, unu kpebie ije, riekwanụ nri ọbụla e nyere unu na-ajụghị ajụjụ nʼihi akọnuche.
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 Ma ọ buru na e nwee onye gwara gị, “A chụrụ ihe a nʼaja.” Unu erila nri ahụ, maka onye ahụ mere ka unu mata, na nʼihi akọnuche.
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 Akọnuche nke m na-ekwu maka ya abụghị nke gị, kama ọ bụ maka nke onye ahụ. Nʼihi gịnị ka mnwere onwe m ga-eji bụrụ ihe akọnuche onye ọzọ ga-ekpe ikpe?
Conscience indeed I say, not merely thine own, but that of the other person.
30 Ọ bụrụ na m nwere ike inye ekele, were nri m rie, olee otu e si ekwutọ m nʼihi ihe ahụ m nyere Chineke ekele banyere ya?
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 Ihe ọbụla ị na-eme, ma unu na-eri ihe maọbụ na-aṅụ ihe, na-emenụ ha niile maka otuto nke Chineke.
Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all things to the glory of God.
32 Unu emejọla ndị Juu maọbụ ndị Griik, ma ọ bụkwanụ nzukọ Chineke.
Give no occasion of stumbling either to the Jews or the Gentiles, or the church of God:
33 Na-agbalịsinụ ike ime dịka m si eme. Nʼihe ọbụla m na-eme, ana m ejisi ike ime ihe ga-atọ onye ọbụla ụtọ. Anaghị m achọ ọdịmma nke m naanị, kama ọ bụ ọdịmma nke mmadụ ibe m, ime ka a zọpụta ha.
even as I please all men, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
