1 Abakkolinso 10
1 Abooluganda, musaana mutegeere nga bajjajjaffe bonna baakulemberwa ekire, era bonna ne bayita mu nnyanja,
Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 bwe batyo bonna ne bakulemberwa Musa ne babatizibwa mu kire ne mu nnyanja.
and were all immersed into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 Bonna baalyanga emmere y’emu ey’omwoyo,
and all ate the same spiritual food;
4 era bonna baanywanga ekyokunywa kye kimu eky’omwoyo, kubanga bonna baanywanga mu lwazi olw’omwoyo olwabagobereranga era olwazi olwo yali Kristo.
and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Messiah.
5 Naye era abasinga obungi Katonda teyabasiima, bwe batyo ne bazikirizibwa mu ddungu.
However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Ebintu bino ebyabatuukako bitulabula obuteegomba bibi nga bo bwe baakola.
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Temusinzanga bakatonda balala, ng’abamu ku bo bwe baali, ng’Ekyawandiikibwa bwe kigamba nti, “Abantu baatuula okulya n’okunywa ne basituka ne bakola effujjo.”
Neither 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 Tetusaana kubeera benzi ng’abamu ku bo bwe baali, abantu emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi ssatu ku bo ne bafa mu lunaku lumu.
Neither let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
9 Era tetusaana kukema Kristo ng’abamu ku bo bwe baakola, emisota ne gibazikiriza.
Neither let us test the Messiah, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
10 Era temwemulugunyanga ng’abamu ku bo bwe baakola, ne battibwa omuzikiriza.
Neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
11 Ebyo byonna byabatuukako ng’ekyokulabirako gye tuli, era byawandiikibwa olw’okutulabula ffe abaliwo abatuukiddwako enkomerero. (aiōn g165)
Now 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 Kale alowooza ng’ayimiridde, yeekuumenga aleme okugwa.
Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he does not fall.
13 Tewali kukemebwa kubatuukako okutali kwa bantu; kyokka Katonda mwesigwa, kubanga taabalekenga kutuukibwako kukemebwa kwe mutayinza kugumira, naye anaabasobozesanga okubigumira, n’abalaga n’ekkubo ery’okubiwangula.
No temptation has taken you except what is common to humanity. 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 Noolwekyo, mikwano gyange, muddukenga okusinza bakatonda abalala.
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 Muli bantu abategeera. Kale, mulabe obanga kye njogera kye kikyo.
I speak as to wise people. Judge what I say.
16 Ekikompe eky’omukisa, kye tusabira omukisa, si kwe kussekimu okw’omusaayi gwa Kristo? Omugaati gwe tumenya, si kwe kussekimu okw’omubiri gwa Kristo?
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing of the blood of Messiah? The bread which we break, is it not a sharing of the body of Messiah?
17 Kubanga ffe bangi, ffenna tulya ku mugaati gumu, ekiraga nga bwe tuli omubiri ogumu.
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 Mulabe Isirayiri ow’omubiri, abalya ssaddaaka tebassa kimu na Kyoto?
Consider Israel according to the flesh. Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
19 Kale kiki kye ngezaako okutegeeza? Mulowooza ŋŋamba nti ebyokulya ebiweebwayo eri bakatonda abalala birimu amakulu? Oba nti bakatonda abalala balina omugaso?
What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20 Nedda. Kye ŋŋamba kye kino nti abo abawaayo ssaddaaka eri bakatonda abalala bawa eri baddayimooni so si eri Katonda. Saagala mwegatte wamu ne baddayimooni mussekimu nabo.
But I say that the things which pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I do not desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
21 Temuyinza kunywa ku kikompe kya Mukama ate ne munywa ne ku kikompe kya baddayimooni. Era temuyinza kuliira ku mmeeza ya Mukama ate ne ku ya baddayimooni.
You cannot both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.
22 Oba Mukama tetumukwasa buggya? Tumusinza amaanyi?
Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
23 Byonna bikkirizibwa, naye si byonna ebirimu omugaso. Byonna bikkirizibwa naye si byonna ebizimba.
"All things are lawful," but not all things are profitable. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up.
24 Omuntu yenna alemenga okwefaako yekka, naye afengayo ne ku bya munne.
Let no one seek his own, but his neighbor's good.
25 Mwegulire ennyama eya buli ngeri gye batunda mu katale mulye, awatali kusooka kwebuuza olw’omwoyo gwammwe.
Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
26 Kubanga ensi ya Mukama n’okujjula kwayo.
for "the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness."
27 Singa omu ku batali bakkiriza abayita ku kijjulo, ne mwagala okugenda, kale mulyenga kyonna kye banaabagabulanga nga temuliiko kye mubuuzizza olw’obulungi bw’omwoyo gwammwe.
But if one of those who do not 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 Kyokka omuntu yenna bw’abategeezanga nti, “Kino kyaweereddwayo eri bakatonda abalala,” temukiryanga olw’oyo abategeezezza n’olw’obulungi bw’omwoyo gwammwe,
But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience.
29 bwe njogera bwe ntyo, njogera ku mwoyo gwe so si ogw’oli omulala. Kubanga lwaki eddembe lyange lisalirwa omusango omwoyo gw’omulala?
Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
30 Bwe ndya nga neebazizza, lwaki nnenyezebwa olw’ekyo kye ndya nga neebazizza?
If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for that for which I give thanks?
31 Kubanga buli kye mukola, oba kulya oba kunywa, mukikole nga mugenderera kugulumiza Katonda.
Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Temukolanga ekyo ekineesittaza Abayudaaya oba Abayonaani wadde ab’ekkanisa ya Katonda.
Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the congregation of God;
33 Nange bwe ntyo ngezaako okusanyusa abantu bonna mu byonna bye nkola, nga sinoonya byange, wabula nga nfa ku bulungi bw’abalala balyoke balokolebwe.
even as I also please all people in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
