1 Koriniti 10

1 E kore ahau e pai, e oku teina, kia kuware koutou, i raro katoa o matou matua i te kapua, i haere katoa ano hoki ra roto i te moana;

For I would not have you ignorant, brothers, how our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2 I iriiria ano ratou katoa ki a Mohi i roto i te kapua, i roto hoki i te moana;

and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

3 A i kai ratou i te kai kotahi, he mea wairua;

They all ate of the same spiritual bread,

4 I inu hoki ratou katoa i te wai kotahi, he mea wairua; no te mea i inu ratou i ta te mea wairua, ara i ta te toka i whai nei i a ratou: a ko taua toka ra ko te Karaiti.

and all drank from the same spiritual stream, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

5 Otiia kihai te Atua i ahuareka ki te nuinga o ratou; i turakina iho hoki ratou i te koraha.

But in most of them God was not well pleased, for they were laid low in the desert.

6 Na, hei tohu enei mea ki a tatou, kia kaua tatou e hiahia ki nga mea kino, kei pera me ratou i hiahia ra.

Now this happened as a warning for us, that we might not long for evil things as they longed.

7 Kaua ano koutou e karakia ki nga whakapakoko, kei pera me etahi o ratou; kua oti ra hoki te tuhituhi, I noho te iwi ki te kai, ki te inu, a whakatika ana ki te takaro.

And you must not be idolaters like some of them. as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, And they rose up for idol dances.

8 Kaua hoki tatou e moepuku, kei pera me etahi o ratou i moepuku, a hinga ana e rua tekau ma toru nga mano i te ra kotahi.

Nor must we act licentiously, as some of them did, and fell in a single day, twenty-three thousand of them.

9 Kaua hoki tatou e whakamatautau i a te Karaiti, kei pera me etahi o ratou i whakamatautau ra, a ngaro ana i te nakahi.

Neither must we presume upon the patience of our Lord, as some of them presumed, and were destroyed by the serpents;

10 Kaua hoki koutou e amuamu, kei pera me etahi o ratou i amuamu, a ngaro ana ratou i te kaiwhakangaro.

nor murmur, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the Destroying Angel.

11 Na, i pa enei mea ki a ratou hei tohu: kua tuhituhia nei hoki hei whakatupato i a tatou, i te hunga ka tae nei ki nga whakamutunga o te ao. (aiōn g165)

Now these things were happening to them typically, but were written down for our admonition who stand at the meeting of the ages. (aiōn g165)

12 Na reira ko te tangata e mea ana e tu ana ia, kia tupato ia kei hinga.

So then let him who imagines that he is standing so securely beware lest he fall.

13 Kahore ano kia pono ki a koutou tetahi whakamatautau e rere ke ana i to te tangata: he pono hoki te Atua, e kore nei e tuku kia nui ake i to koutou kaha te whakamatautau mo koutou; engari tahi me te whakamatautau ka meatia e ia he putanga, kia u ake ai koutou.

No temptation has overtaken you that is beyond man’s power; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will, with every temptation, provide the way of escape also, so that you may be able to withstand.

14 Na reira, e oku hoa aroha, rere atu i te karakia whakapakoko.

So then, my beloved, continually flee from idolatry.

15 Ko taku korero nei he mea ki te hunga mahara; whakaaroa taku e mea nei.

I am speaking to men of sense; do you yourselves judge what I say.

16 Ko te kapu whakapainga e whakapai nei tatou, ehara koia i te inu tahi i nga toto o te Karaiti? Ko te taro e whatiwhatia nei e tatou, ehara ianei i te kai tahi i te tinana o te Karaiti?

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a common participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a common participation in the body of Christ?

17 Ina hoki ko tatou tokomaha nei, kotahi ano taro, kotahi ano tinana; kotahi tonu nei hoki taua taro e kainga nei e tatou katoa.

Because we who are many are one bread, one body, for we all do share in the one loaf.

18 Whakaaroa a Iharaira o te kikokiko; he teka ianei ko te hunga e kai ana i nga patunga tapu, e uru tahi ana ki to te aata?

Look at Israel according to the flesh; are not those who eat the sacrifices in communion with the altar?

19 Na, he pehea ra taku korero? he tikanga mea ranei te mea e patua na ma te whakapakoko? he tikanga mea ranei te whakapakoko?

What then shall we say? that an offering to an idol is anything? or that an idol is really anything?

20 Otira e ki ana ahau, ko nga mea e patua ana e nga tauiwi, e patua ana ma nga rewera, he teka ma te Atua: e kore hoki ahau e pai kia uru tahi koutou ko nga rewera.

On the contrary, what the heathen sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have communion with demons.

21 E kore koutou e ahei te inu i te kapu a te Ariki, i te kapu ano a nga rewera: e kore koutou e ahei te kai i te tepu a te Ariki, i te tepu hoki a nga rewera.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of demons; you cannot be partakers in the Lord’s table and in the table of demons.

22 E mea ana ranei tatou kia hae mai te Ariki? he kaha koia tatou i a ia?

What! would we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

23 He tika nga mea katoa, otira e kore e pai katoa: he tika nga mea katoa, otira e kore e oti te waihanga e nga mea katoa.

"All things are lawful," you say? But not all things are expedient; "all things are lawful"; but not all build up.

24 Kaua tetahi e rapu ki tana ake, engari me rapu katoa i te pai mo tera, mo tera.

Let not each one be always seeking his own, but rather his neighbor’s good.

25 Ko nga mea katoa e hokona ana i te makete, kainga, kaua e uiui, kei he te hinengaro:

Eat anything that is for sale in the markets, asking no questions for conscience sake;

26 No te Ariki hoki te whenua me ona tini mea.

for the earth and its fulness are the Lord’s.

27 Ki te karangatia koutou e tetahi o te hunga whakaponokore, a ka pai koutou kia haere; ko nga mea katoa e whakatakotoria mai ki to koutou aroaro, kainga, kaua e uiui, kei he te hinengaro.

If one who is not a believer invites you to his house, and you wish to go, eat everything that is set before you, without asking questions for conscience sake.

28 Ki te mea ia tetahi ki a koutou, I patua tenei ma te whakapakoko, kaua e kai, me whakaaro ki te kaiwhakaatu, ki te hinengaro hoki:

But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice," do not eat it, for the sake of him who told you,

29 Ko te hinengaro, e ki ana ahau, ehara i tou, engari ko to tetahi; he aha toku herekoretanga kia whakakorea e tera atu hinengaro?

and for your conscience sake - his conscience, not your own. "But," you may object, "why should my freedom be decided upon another’s scruples of conscience?

30 Ki te mea hoki na te aroha noa ahau i kai ai, he aha ahau i korerotia kinotia ai mo te mea i whakawhetai ai ahau?

If I eat after giving thanks, why am I denounced for eating that for which I have given thanks?"

31 Na reira, ahakoa kai, ahakoa inu, aha ranei, meinga katoatia hei whakakororia mo te Atua.

Because whether you are eating or whether you are drinking, you are to do it all for the glory of God.

32 Kei waiho koutou hei tutukitanga waewae ki nga Hurai, ki nga Kariki ranei, ki te hahi ranei a te Atua;

Do not be a cause of stumbling either to Jews of to Gentiles, or to the church of God.

33 Kia penei me ahau e whakamanawareka nei i te katoa i nga mea katoa, i ahau kahore nei e rapu i te pai moku ake, engari i to te tokomaha, kia ora ai ratou.

For so I also try to please all men in every way, not by seeking my own good, but the good of the many, that they may be saved.
