یەکەم کۆرنسۆس 10

1 خوشکان، برایان، نامەوێ نەزانن کە باوباپیرانمان هەموو لەژێر هەوردا بوون و هەمووشیان دەریایان بڕی.

My fellow believers, I want to remind you about our(exc) [Jewish] ancestors. They were all under the cloud [by which God miraculously led them and protected them when they left Egypt with Moses]. All those ancestors crossed the [Red] Sea [after God miraculously made the water separate so that they could walk through it].

2 جا هەموویان لە هەور و لە دەریادا بۆ موسا لە ئاو هەڵکێشران،

God caused all of them to begin to live under the authority of [MTY] Moses [when they walked] under that cloud and [walked through the Red] Sea.

3 هەمووشیان هەمان خواردنی ڕۆحییان خوارد.

All [those ancestors of ours ate the same food that God] miraculously [provided].

4 هەموویان هەمان خواردنەوەی ڕۆحییان خواردەوە، چونکە لەو تاشەبەردە ڕۆحییان دەخواردەوە کە دوایان کەوتبوو، ئەو تاشەبەردەش مەسیح بوو.

They all drank water that [God] miraculously [provided]. That is, they all drank water that God miraculously made come out of the rock. That rock was [a symbol of] [MET] Christ, who went with them. [So we conclude that God helped all of those people in many ways].

5 بەڵام خودا لە زۆربەیان ڕازی نەبوو، ئەوە بوو تەرمەکانیان لە بیابان پەرشوبڵاو بووەوە.

However, [we also conclude that] God was angry [LIT] with most of those people [because they sinned against him. He caused almost all of them to die, and as] a result their bodies were scattered in the desert.

6 ئەم شتانەی ڕوویاندا پەندن بۆمان، تاکو ئارەزووی خراپە نەکەین، وەک ئەوان ئارەزوویان کرد.

Those things [that happened long ago] became examples to teach us [the following things]: We should not desire to [do] evil things as those people desired to do.

7 بتپەرست مەبن وەک هەندێکیان، وەکو نووسراوە: [گەل بۆ خواردن و خواردنەوە دانیشتن، پاشان بۆ ڕابواردن هەستانەوە.]

We should not worship idols as many of those people did. [Remember that Moses] wrote, “The people sat down. They ate and drank [to honor the golden calf that they had just made]. Then they got up to dance [immorally].”

8 با داوێنپیسی نەکەین وەک هەندێکیان داوێنپیسییان کرد و لە ڕۆژێکدا بیست و سێ هەزاریان کەوت.

We should not have sexual relations with someone to whom we are not married, as many of them did. As a result, God [punished them by] causing 23,000 people to die in [only] one day.

9 نابێت مەسیح تاقی بکەینەوە، وەک هەندێکیان تاقییان کردەوە و مار لەناوی بردن.

We should not try to see how much we can sin without the Lord punishing us. Some of them did that, and as a result they died because [poisonous] snakes [bit them].

10 بۆڵەبۆڵ مەکەن وەک هەندێکیان بۆڵەبۆڵیان کرد و فریشتەی لەناوبەر کوشتیان.

We should not complain [about what God does]. Some of them did that, and as a result an angel destroyed them. [So God will certainly punish us if we sin like they did].

11 جا ئەم شتانەیان وەک پەند بەسەرهات، بۆ ئاگاداری ئێمەش نووسراوە، کە لە کۆتایی زەمان دەژین. (aiōn g165)

All those things [that happened to our ancestors long ago] are examples for us. [Moses] wrote those things to warn us [who are living at this time which is near the end]. We are the people for whom God has done [the things that he decided to do in] the previous periods of time. (aiōn g165)

12 کەواتە ئەوەی وا دەزانێت ڕاوەستاوە، با وریابێت نەکەوێت.

So [I say this to] all those who confidently [think that they will always] steadfastly continue to [believe what God said and will never disobey what he commanded]: Be careful that you [(sg)] do not sin [when you are tempted].

13 هیچ تاقیکردنەوەیەکتان تووش نابێت کە هاوبەش نەبێت لەنێوان مرۆڤەکاندا، بەڵام خودا دڵسۆزە، کە نایەڵێت زیاتر لە توانای خۆتان تاقی بکرێنەوە، بەڵکو لەگەڵ تاقیکردنەوە ڕێگای دەرچوون دەکاتەوە، تاکو بتوانن بەرگە بگرن.

[Remember that] your desires to sin are the same desires that other people have. But when you are tempted to sin, you can trust God [to help you]. He will not permit you to be tempted {anything to tempt you} more than you are able to resist. Instead, when you are tempted {things tempt you}, he will also provide a way [for you] to endure it [without sinning].

14 بۆیە خۆشەویستانم، لە بتپەرستی ڕابکەن.

So, [I say to] you people whom I love, [avoid] worshipping idols [just like you would] run away from [anything that is dangerous].

15 وەک بۆ هۆشیاران بێت دەدوێم، ئێوە حوکم بدەن لەوەی دەیڵێم:

It is to people who [think that they] are wise that I write. So, you, as wise people, judge whether what I am writing [is true].

16 ئایا ئەو جامەی سوپاسگوزاری لە پێناوی سوپاسی خودا دەکەین، بەشداری نییە لە خوێنی مەسیح؟ ئەو نانەی لەتی دەکەین، بەشداری نییە لە لەشی مەسیح؟

[During the Lord’s Supper, after we ask God to] bless (the [wine]/the [juice]) [in the] cup, we give thanks for it [and drink it]. By doing that, we certainly are [RHQ] sharing in what Christ [did for us when] his blood [flowed from his body when he died. During the Lord’s Supper, when we break] the bread [and eat it], we are certainly sharing in [MTY] what Christ [did for us when] his body [suffered for us on the cross]. [RHQ]

17 لەبەر ئەوەی یەک نان هەیە، ئێمە کە زۆرین، یەک لەشین، چونکە هەموومان بەشداری لە یەک ناندا دەکەین.

Because it is one loaf of bread that we [break and eat during the Lord’s Supper, it symbolizes that] we who are many are one group, because we all eat from the one loaf.

18 سەیری ئیسرائیل بکەن کە بەگوێرەی جەستەیە: ئایا ئەوانەی قوربانی دەخۆن لە قوربانگادا هاوبەش نین؟

Consider [what happens when] the Israeli people [eat the food that the priests] sacrifice on the altar [outside the Temple]. They participate in [what the priests do at] [MTY] the altar. [RHQ] [Similarly, if you eat food that non-believers have offered to an idol in a temple, you are participating in their worship of the idol there].

19 جا چی دەڵێم؟ ئایا ئەوەی بۆ بت سەربڕدراوە شتێکە، یان بتەکە شتێکە؟

By saying that, [I] do not mean that offering food to an idol makes it anything [more than just ordinary food [RHQ].] I do not mean that an idol is anything [more than just an idol].

20 نەخێر بەڵکو ئەوەی سەری دەبڕن، بۆ ڕۆحە پیسەکان سەری دەبڕن نەک بۆ خودا. جا نامەوێت لەگەڵ ڕۆحە پیسەکان هاوبەش بن.

No! Instead, I mean that what people sacrifice [to idols], they are sacrificing to demons, not to God. So, [if you eat food that has been sacrificed to idols, you are participating in worshipping the demons that the idols represent]. And I do not want you to participate in worshipping demons!

21 ناتوانن جامی مەسیحی خاوەن شکۆ و جامی ڕۆحە پیسەکان بخۆنەوە. ناتوانن بەشداری خوانی خاوەن شکۆ و خوانی ڕۆحە پیسەکان بکەن.

When you drink the [grape juice/wine in] [MTY] the cup [at the Lord’s Supper], you cannot participate in the [blessings that] the Lord [Jesus] brought to us and at the same time drink the [wine in the] [MTY] cup that people offer to demons! When you eat at the Lord’s table, you cannot participate in the blessings the Lord provided [MTY] when he died for us and at the same time participate in the things that represent demons [by eating food that has been sacrificed to idols]

22 یاخود ئیرەیی خاوەن شکۆ هەڵدەستێنین؟ ئایا ئێمە لەو بەهێزترین؟

[If you participate in honoring demons in that way], you will certainly make the Lord very angry [RHQ]! (Remember that you are certainly not stronger than he is./Do you think that you are stronger than he is?) [RHQ] [Certainly not, so you will not escape his punishing you if you honor demons in that way!]

23 «هەموو شتێک بۆ من دروستە،» بەڵام هەموو شتێک سوودبەخش نییە. «هەموو شتێک بۆ من دروستە،» بەڵام هەموو شتێک بنیادنەر نییە.

[Some people say], “[God] permits [believers to do] anything.” But [I say that] not everything that people do benefits [those who do it! Yes, some people say], “God permits [believers to do] all things.” But not everything that people do helps them to become [spiritually] mature.

24 کەس بەدوای بەرژەوەندی خۆیدا نەگەڕێت، بەڵکو بۆ بەرژەوەندی خەڵک هەوڵ بدەن.

No one should try to benefit [only] himself. Instead, each person should try to benefit other people [spiritually].

25 ئەو گۆشتەی لە بازاڕ دەفرۆشرێت بیخۆن، ئەوەندە لێی مەکۆڵنەوە، بەبێ لێپرسینەوەی ویژدان،

[This is what you should do]: Eat any [food] that is sold {that people sell} in the market. Do not ask questions [to find out if that food has been offered] {[someone offered that food]} [to idols, just] because you think it would be wrong [to eat such food].

26 چونکە [زەوی و هەرچی تێدایە هی یەزدانە.]

[Remember that the Psalmist wrote], “Everything on the earth belongs to [the] Lord [God because he created it!]” [So, food that has been offered to idols belongs to the Lord, not to the idols, and you may eat it].

27 ئەگەر بێباوەڕێک داوەتتان بکات و ئێوەش ویستتان بچن، جا هەرچییەکتان لەپێش دانرا بیخۆن، بێ لێکۆڵینەوە، لەبەر ویژدان.

If a non-believer invites you to a meal, go if you want to, and eat any food that is set {that [he] sets} before you. Do not ask [whether it was offered to idols, just] because you think that it would be wrong [to eat such food].

28 بەڵام ئەگەر یەکێک پێی گوتن: «ئەمە کراوەتە قوربانی بت» مەیخۆن، لەبەر ئەوەی پێی گوتن و لەبەر ویژدان،

But if someone says to you, “This is food that was sacrificed [to an idol],” do not eat it, for the sake of the person who told that to you, and also because someone there may think that it is wrong [to eat such food].

29 دەڵێم ویژدان، هی تۆ نا، بەڵکو هی ئەوی دیکە. جا بۆچی سەربەستیم لەلایەن ویژدانێکی دیکەوە حوکم بدرێت؟

I do not mean that you [should be concerned about whether it is all right to eat such food]. What I mean is that you should be concerned about others who may think that it is wrong to eat such food. Since I know that I (am free/have the right) [to eat such food without God punishing me], no one should [RHQ] say that what I am doing is wrong just because he himself thinks that it is wrong.

30 ئەگەر بە سوپاسکردنەوە بەشداری بکەم، ئیتر بۆچی تاوانبار دەکرێم لەسەر ئەوەی سوپاسی خودای لەسەر دەکەم؟

If I thank [God] for the food when I eat [food that has been offered to an idol], no one should criticize me for eating food for which I have thanked God [RHQ]!

31 بۆیە ئەگەر خواردتان یان خواردتانەوە یان هەر شتێکتان کرد، هەموو شتێک بۆ شکۆی خودا بکەن.

So [I say to you in conclusion], when you eat [food], or drink [something], or do anything else, do everything in order that [people will] praise God.

32 بۆ جولەکە و ناجولەکە و کڵێسای خودا مەبنە کۆسپ.

Do not do anything that would hinder Jews or Greeks [from becoming believers], and do not do things that would encourage members of God’s congregations to sin.

33 هەروەک منیش لە هەموو شتێک هەمووان ڕازی دەکەم، بەدوای بەرژەوەندی خۆمدا ناگەڕێم، بەڵکو هی زۆران، تاکو ڕزگاریان ببێت.

[Do as I do]. I try to please everyone in every way. I do this by not seeking to benefit myself. Instead, I try to benefit many others, in order that they may be saved {that [God] may save them} [from the guilt of their sins].
