1 Korintiana 10
1 Fa tsy tiako tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa ny razantsika rehetra dia tambanin’ ny rahona, ary izy rehetra namaky ny ranomasina,
Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea
2 ary izy rehetra dia natao batisa ho amin’ i Mosesy tao amin’ ny rahona sy ny ranomasina,
—all were baptized into Moses by the cloud and by the sea—
3 ary izy rehetra nihinana ny fihinam-panahy iray ihany,
and all ate the same spiritual food
4 ary izy rehetra nisotro ny fisotrom-panahy iray ihany; fa nisotro tamin’ ny vatolampy fanahy izay nanaraka azy izy, ary Kristy izany vatolampy izany.
and drank the same spiritual drink; because they kept drinking from a spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that Rock was the Christ.
5 Nefa ny ankabiazany dia tsy sitrak’ Andriamanitra, fa naringana tany an-efitra.
For all that, God was not pleased with most of them—their carcasses were scattered around the desert!
6 Ary izany zavatra izany dia tonga anatra ho antsika, mba tsy ho mpila zava-dratsy isika toy ny nilan’ ireny.
Now these things became examples for us, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
7 Ary aoka tsy ho mpanompo sampy ianareo tahaka ny sasany amin’ ireny, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ny olona nipetraka hihinana sy hisotro, dia nitsangana hilalao.
And do not become idolaters, just like some of them; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to amuse themselves.”
8 Ary aoka tsy hijangajanga isika tahaka ny sasany tamin’ ireny, ka telo arivo amby roa alina no ringana indray andro.
And let us not fornicate, just as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand died!
9 Ary aoka tsy haka fanahy ny Tompo isika, tahaka ny nakan’ ny sasany tamin’ ireny fanahy Azy, ka matin’ ny menarana ireny.
Neither let us test the Christ, just as also some of them did—and were destroyed by the snakes!
10 Ary aoka tsy himonomonona ianareo tahaka ny sasany tamin’ ireny, izay matin’ ny mpandringana.
And do not grumble, just as also some of them did—and were executed by the destroyer!
11 Ary izany dia nanjo azy mba ho anatra, sady voasoratra izany ho fananarana antsika izay niharan’ ny faran’ izao tontolo izao. (aiōn g165)
Now all these things happened to them as examples and were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
12 Koa izay manao azy fa efa mijoro tsara, dia aoka izy hitandrina, fandrao ho lavo.
So then, let him who thinks he stands be careful that he does not fall!
13 Tsy misy fakam-panahy nahazo anareo afa-tsy izay zakan’ ny olombelona; nefa mahatoky Andriamanitra ka tsy hamela anareo halaim-panahy mihoatra noho izay zakanareo; fa momba ny fakam-panahy dia hasiany lalana hahafahanareo koa mba hahazakanareo izany.
No testing has overtaken you except what is common to man, and God is competent, who will not allow you to be tested beyond what you can stand, but with the testing will also provide the way out, that you may be able to endure it.
14 Koa amin’ izany, ry malala, mandosira ny fanompoan-tsampy.
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry!
15 Miteny toy ny amin’ ny olo-manan-tsaina aho; heveronareo izay lazaiko.
I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.
16 Ny kapoaky ny fisaorana izay isaorantsika, tsy firaisana amin’ ny ran’ i Kristy va izany? Ny mofo izay vakintsika, tsy firaisana amin’ ny tenan’ i Kristy va izany?
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing of the body of Christ?
17 Satria iray ihany ny mofo, dia tena iray ihany isika na dia maro aza; fa isika rehetra dia samy mandray amin’ izany mofo iray izany avokoa.
Since the loaf is one, we, the many, are one body, because we all partake of that single loaf.
18 Indreo ny Isiraely araka ny nofo; moa izay mihinana ny fanatitra tsy mpiombona amin’ ny alitara va?
Consider the physical Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 Inona ary no holazaiko? Mety ho zavatra va ny hena aterina amin’ ny sampy, na mety ho zavatra va ny sampy?
So what am I getting at? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?
20 Tsia, fa izay zavatra aterin’ ny jentilisa ho fanatitra, dia ateriny amin’ ny demonia, fa tsy amin’ Andriamanitra; koa tsy tiako ho mpiombona amin’ ny demonia ianareo.
Rather, that the things pagans sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to become participants with the demons.
21 Tsy mahazo misotro amin’ ny kapoaky ny Tompo sy ny kapoaky ny demonia ianareo; tsy mahazo mihinana amin’ ny latabatry ny Tompo sy ny latabatry ny demonia ianareo.
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons.
22 Mampahasaro-piaro ny Tompo va isika? Mahery noho Izy va isika?
Are we going to provoke the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23 Ny zavatra rehetra azo atao, nefa tsy ny zavatra rehetra no mahasoa; ny zavatra rehetra azo atao, nefa tsy ny zavatra rehetra no mampandroso.
All things are ‘permissible’ for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are ‘permissible’ for me, but not all things edify.
24 Aoka tsy hisy olona hitady ny hahasoa ny tenany, fa ny hahasoa ny namany.
Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.
25 Izay hena rehetra amidy eny an-tsena dia hano, fa aza manontany akory noho ny fieritreretana;
Eat whatever is being sold in the meat market, asking no question for the sake of conscience;
26 fa an’ i Jehovah ny tany sy izay rehetra eo aminy.
since “the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness.”
27 Ary raha misy amin’ ny tsy mino manasa anareo, ka ta-handeha ianareo, dia hano izay arosony eo anoloanareo, fa aza manontany akory noho ny fieritreretana.
If some unbeliever invites you and you decide to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
28 Fa raha misy manao aminareo hoe: Hena naterina tamin’ ny sampy io, dia aza homana noho ny amin’ ilay nilaza sy ny fieritreretana.
But if anyone says, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the speaker and of the conscience; since “the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness.”
29 Fieritreretana, hoy izaho, tsy ny an’ ny tenanano, fa ny an’ ny olon-kafa; fa nahoana ny fahafahako no dia tsarain’ ny fieritreretan’ ny olon-kafa?
‘Conscience’ I say, not your own but that of the other. Now just why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?
30 Fa raha amin’ ny fisaorana no andraisako izany, nahoana aho no tenenina ratsy amin’ izay anaovako fisaorana?
If I partake with thanks, why be slandered over something I give thanks for?
31 Koa amin’ izany, na mihinana na misotro ianareo, na inona na inona ataonareo, dia ataovy ho voninahitr’ Andriamanitra izany rehetra izany.
Therefore, whether you eat or you drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Aza manao izay hahatafintohina ny Jiosy na ny jentilisa na ny fiangonan’ Andriamanitra,
Give no offense, either to Jews or to Greeks or to the Church of God
33 dia tahaka ahy koa manao izay hahafinaritra ny olona rehetra amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ka tsy mitady ny mahasoa ahy ihany, fa ny mahasoa ny maro mba hovonjena izy.
—even as I try to please everyone in every way, not seeking my own profit but that of the many, that they may be saved.
