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.
And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were 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 all were immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;
3 Ha niile rikwara ihe oriri nke mmụọ ahụ.
and all ate the same spiritual food,
4 Ha ṅụkwara mmiri mmụọ ahụ, mmiri sitere nʼoke nkume mmụọ ahụ, nke na-eso ha. Oke nkume ahụ bụ Kraịst nʼonwe ya.
and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
5 Nʼihe ndị a niile, omume ha amasịghị Chineke. Nʼihi nke a, ọ lara ha nʼiyi nʼime ọzara.
but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn 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.
and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these desired.
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 become idolaters, as certain of them, as it has been written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play”;
8 Ka anyị ghara ịkwa iko dịka ụfọdụ nʼime ha mere, iri puku mmadụ abụọ na atọ nʼime ha nwụọ nʼotu ụbọchị.
neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
9 Ka anyị hapụ ịnwa Kraịst ọnwụnwa dịka ụfọdụ nʼime ha si nwaa Chineke. E mere ka agwọ tagbusie ha.
neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents;
10 Ka anyị hapụkwa itamu ntamu dịka ụfọdụ ha mere ma bụrụ ndị Mmụọ ozi ọnwụ tigburu.
neither murmur, as also some of them 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)
And all these things happened to those persons as types, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages came, (aiōn g165)
12 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na ị na-eche na ị guzosiri ike, lezie anya ka ị ghara ịda.
so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, 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 has taken you—except that of man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above what you are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].
14 Ya mere, ndị enyi m hụrụ nʼanya, gbaaranụ ikpere arụsị ọsọ.
For this reason, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
15 Ana m agwa ndị nwere uche okwu, unu onwe unu tulenụ ihe m na-ekwu.
as to wise men I speak—judge 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 the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? The bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the 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.
Because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all partake of the one bread.
18 Chetanụ ka ndị Izrel siri mee: ọ bụ na ndị na-eri ihe eji chụọ aja abụghị ndị nnwekọ nʼebe ịchụ aja?
See Israel according to the flesh! Are those not eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of 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 anything? Or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything?
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.
[No, ] but that the things that the nations sacrifice—they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.
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.
You are not able to drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of demons; you are not able to partake of the table of the LORD and of the table of demons;
22 Anyị na-achọ ime ka iwe wee Onyenwe anyị? Anyị dị ike karịa ya?
do we arouse 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 to me, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful to me, but not all things build up;
24 Ka onye ọbụla hapụ ịchọ ọdịmma nke onwe ya, kama ọdịmma nke ndị ọzọ.
let no one seek his own—but each another’s.
25 Rie ihe bụ anụ ọbụla e rere nʼahịa na-ajụghị ajụjụ ọbụla nʼihi akọnuche.
Eat whatever is sold in the meat-market, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
26 Nʼihi na, “Ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya bụ nke Onyenwe anyị.”
for the earth and its fullness [are] the LORD’s;
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 anyone of the unbelieving calls you, and you wish to go, eat all that is set before you, inquiring nothing, because of the conscience;
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.
and if anyone may say to you, “This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,” do not eat, because of that one who showed [it], and of the conscience, for the LORD’s [is] the earth and its fullness:
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?
and conscience, I say, not of yourself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another’s conscience?
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?
And if I partake thankfully, why am I spoken of [as] evil, 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, then, you eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
32 Unu emejọla ndị Juu maọbụ ndị Griik, ma ọ bụkwanụ nzukọ Chineke.
become offenseless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the Assembly 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.
as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many—that they may be saved.
