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 would not have you 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,

and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in 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 all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

5 Nefa ny ankabiazany dia tsy sitrak’ Andriamanitra, fa naringana tany an-efitra.

However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Ary izany zavatra izany dia tonga anatra ho antsika, mba tsy ho mpila zava-dratsy isika toy ny nilan’ ireny.

Now these things were our examples, to the intent 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.

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 Ary aoka tsy hijangajanga isika tahaka ny sasany tamin’ ireny, ka telo arivo amby roa alina no ringana indray andro.

Neither let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.

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, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.

10 Ary aoka tsy himonomonona ianareo tahaka ny sasany tamin’ ireny, izay matin’ ny mpandringana.

Neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished 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 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 Koa izay manao azy fa efa mijoro tsara, dia aoka izy hitandrina, fandrao ho lavo.

Therefore 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 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 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 people. Judge 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 which we bless, is it not a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which 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.

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 Indreo ny Isiraely araka ny nofo; moa izay mihinana ny fanatitra tsy mpiombona amin’ ny alitara va?

Consider Israel according to the flesh. Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?

19 Inona ary no holazaiko? Mety ho zavatra va ny hena aterina amin’ ny sampy, na mety ho zavatra va ny sampy?

What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol 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.

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 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 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 Mampahasaro-piaro ny Tompo va isika? Mahery noho Izy va isika?

Or do we provoke the Lord to 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 lawful," but not all things are profitable. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up.

24 Aoka tsy hisy olona hitady ny hahasoa ny tenany, fa ny hahasoa ny namany.

Let no one seek his own, but his neighbor's good.

25 Izay hena rehetra amidy eny an-tsena dia hano, fa aza manontany akory noho ny fieritreretana;

Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,

26 fa an’ i Jehovah ny tany sy izay rehetra eo aminy.

for "the earth is the Lord's, and 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.

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 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 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 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 the other's conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

30 Fa raha amin’ ny fisaorana no andraisako izany, nahoana aho no tenenina ratsy amin’ izay anaovako fisaorana?

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for that for which I give thanks?

31 Koa amin’ izany, na mihinana na misotro ianareo, na inona na inona ataonareo, dia ataovy ho voninahitr’ Andriamanitra izany rehetra izany.

Whether therefore you eat, or 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 occasions for stumbling, 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 also please all people in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
