1 Korintho 10
1 Ndoilwe unye mulenge akak niadada ane, kina iatata itu aeakole pihe ilunde hange ehi aeakiie mubahali.
For I would have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red Sea.
2 Ehi ekabadisigwa kutula ang'wa Musa mulunda mukati numukati mubahali,
All were baptized in the cloud and in the sea to be followers of Moses.
3 hange ehi ikalya indya zizo zizoo niakinkolo.
All ate the same spiritual food,
4 Ehi ekang'wa ekeng'wi kiko kikoo nikakinkolo. Ndogoilyo aeang'ee kupuma migwe lakinkolo naeliatyatile, nigwe nilanso aeKilisto.
and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they long drank the water that flowed from the spiritual rock that went with them--and that rock was the Christ.
5 Kuite Itunda singaaeuloeigwe kukila nawa niang'wao nemeimbaao ikasapatiligwa mumbuga.
But with most of them God was not well pleased; for they were laid low in the Desert.
6 Inge imakani aya ehi aekilengasiilyo kitu, nsoko usese kuleke kutula antu ansula niembi anga nianso naeitu.
And in this they became a warning to us, to teach us not to be eager, as they were eager, in pursuit of what is evil.
7 Muleke kukulya iadudu, anga niang'wi ao naeile. Eye anga niandekile, “Iantu aeikie pihe akalya nukung'wa, hange ikauka kiginsa kunsula yaukosi.
And you must not be worshippers of idols, as some of them were. For it is written, "The People sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance."
8 Kuleke kituma ukosi anga niidu ao naetumile. Ikasasha luhiku lung'wi antu makumi ambiili nuu tata elfu kunsoko yiyo.
Nor may we be fornicators, like some of them who committed fornication and on a single day 23,000 of them fell dead.
9 Hange kuleke kumugema Ukilisto, anga niidu ao naeitumile ikabepigwa ninzoka.
And do not let us test the Lord too far, as some of them tested Him and were destroyed by the serpents.
10 Hange gwa muleke kisusumya, anga niidu ao naeisusumilye nukubepigwa numalaeka waashi.
And do not be discontented, as some of them were, and they were destroyed by the Destroyer.
11 Inge imakani aya aeatendekile anga ilengasiilyo yitu. Akaandekwa nsoko akukenela usese - nekupikewe nempelo nakali. (aiōn g165)
All this kept happening to them with a figurative meaning; but it was put on record by way of admonition to us upon whom the ends of the Ages have come. (aiōn g165)
12 Kuite kela nukiona wemekile nuatule nukilangaila waleke kugwa.
So then let him who thinks he is standing securely beware of falling.
13 Kutile geng'wa nelemupatile unye nesinga kawaeda aantu. Inge Itunda watai. Singa ukumuleka mugeng'we kukila muukumi wanyu. Palung'wi nigeng'wa nuanso ukumupa mumulango nuakupumile nsoko muhume kudula.
No temptation has you in its power but such as is common to human nature; and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. But, when the temptation comes, He will also provide the way of escape; so that you may be able to bear it.
14 Kuite gwa, alowa ane, lemanki ikulyo nelaadudu.
Therefore, my dear friends, avoid all connection with the worship of idols.
15 Kutambula nunyenye anga antu neakete imahala, nsoko mulamule kuaya nekumatambula.
I speak as to men of sense: judge for yourselves of what I say.
16 Ikekombe nikakukembeta nikukikembetile, singa upalung'wi nuasakami ang'wa Kilisto? Umukate uo nekuuega, singa upalung'wi nuamuili wang'wa Kilisto?
The cup of blessing, which we bless, does it not mean a joint-participation in the blood of Christ? The loaf of bread which we break, does it not mean a joint-participation in the body of Christ?
17 Kunsoko umukate ung'wi, usese nikiidu kiamuili ung'wi. Usese kehi kuusingiilya umukate ung'wi kupalung'wi.
Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.
18 Agozi iantu akuisilaeli. Itee awa ehi neeliza izabihu singa ipalung'wine pakizindaalo?
Look at the Israelites--the nation and their ritual. Are not those who eat the sacrifices joint-partakers in the altar?
19 Kulunga ulegwa? Kina ududu kentunee? Ang'wi kina uludya nulupumigwe isongeelyo kududu kentune?
Do I mean that a thing sacrificed to an idol is what it claims to be, or that an idol is a real thing?
20 Kuite kutunga kumaintu nanso niapumilye isongeelyo iantu anyakilungu niamihe, kina akupumya imaintu aya kuahing'wi hange singa kung'wi Tunda. Nunee singantakile unyenye kutula mepalung'wi niaking'wi!
No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship with one another through the demons.
21 Shanga mukung'wela ikekombe ka Mukulu nikekombe kaahing'wi. Shanga mukutula palung'wi mumeza a Mukulu nemeza nahung'wi.
You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons: you cannot be joint-partakers both in the table of the Lord and in the table of demons.
22 Ang'wi kuumupa Umukulu wetu? Kukete ngulune kukilanuanso?
Or are we actually arousing the Lord to jealousy. Are we stronger than He is?
23 Imaintu ehi anonee, “kuite singa ehe agombigwe. Maintu ehi anonee” kuite singa ehi neeakulya eantu.
Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.
24 Kutile anga nung'wi nukuduma nimaza nakweudu. kuleka gwa ite, kukela ung'wiao azuzeeduma nimaza namiakwe.
Let no one be for ever seeking his own good, but let each seek that of his fellow man.
25 Muhumile kulya kela kintu nekikuguligwa kinsoko muleke kukolyakolya kunsoko amasigo.
Anything that is for sale in the meat market, eat, and ask no questions for conscience' sake;
26 Ndogoilyo, Uunkumbigulu nsao a Mukulu, hange ehi nuuizue.
for the earth is the Lord's, and all that it contains.
27 Numuntu nushuhuie anga wanutanga kulya hange malowa kulongola, mulye kehi nukumupe muleke kukolya imakolyo namasigo.
If an unbeliever gives you an invitation and you are disposed to accept it, eat whatever is put before you, and ask no questions for conscience' sake.
28 Kuite umuntu anga wamuile, “Uludya ulu lupumigwe isongeelyo nianyakilungu,” leki kulya. Eye kunsoko akwe numuiya, hange kunsoko amasigo.
But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice;" abstain from eating it--out of respect for him who warned you, and, as before, for conscience' sake.
29 Nunee singa nimaie anga masigo anyu, inge masigo amungiza. Kundogoilyo kuniki uwidesi wane ulamulwe nimasigo amuntu mungiza?
But now I mean his conscience, not your own. "Why, on what ground," you may object, "is the question of my liberty of action to be decided by a conscience not my own?
30 Angeze unene kutumela indya kilumbi, kuneke tukilwe kukentu nensongeeye kukenso?
If, so far as I am concerned, I partake with a grateful heart, why am I to be found fault with in regard to a thing for which I give thanks?"
31 Kuite gwa kehi nemukulya ang'wi mukung'wa, ang'wi kehi nemukituma, itumi ehi kunsoko aukulu wang'wi Tunda.
Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.
32 Leki kuakoseshi Iayahudi ang'wi Iayunani, ang'w Itekeelo lang'wi Tunda.
Do not be causes of stumbling either to Jews or to Gentiles, nor to the Church of God.
33 Gemi anga unene nenegema kualoelya iantu ehi kumakani ehi. Shanga kuduma anga nsailo ane unene, inge naangiza. Nunee kituma ite nsoko alije uguneki.
That is the way that I also seek in everything the approval of all men, not aiming at my own profit, but at that of the many, in the hope that they may be saved.
