1 Qorontos 10
1 Yaa obboloota, akka abbootiin keenya hundi duumessa jala turan, akka hundi isaaniis galaana keessa darban akka isin utuu hin beekin haftan ani hin barbaadu.
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.
2 Hundi isaaniis kan Musee taʼuuf duumessaa fi galaanaan cuuphaman.
They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
3 Hundi isaaniis nyaata hafuuraa tokkicha nyaatan.
They all ate the same spiritual food
4 Hundi isaaniis dhugaatii hafuuraa tokkicha dhugan. Isaan kattaa hafuuraa isa isaan wajjin deemaa ture irraa dhuganiiruutii; kattaan sunis Kiristoos ture.
and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
5 Taʼu iyyuu waan Waaqni hedduu isaaniitti hin gammadiniif isaan lafa gammoojjii keessatti dhuman.
Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
6 Wantoonni kunneen akka nu akkuma isaanii waan hamaa hin hawwineef fakkeenya nuu taʼan.
These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
7 Akka isaan keessaa namoonni tokko tokko godhan sana isin waaqota tolfamoo hin waaqeffatinaa; kunis akkuma, “Namoonni nyaachuu fi dhuguuf tataaʼan; sirbuufis kaʼan” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.”
8 Akka isaan keessaa namoonni tokko tokko halalummaa raawwatanii guyyaa tokkotti namoonni 23,000 dhuman sana, nu halalummaa raawwachuu hin qabnu.
We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
9 Akka isaan keessaa tokko tokko Gooftaa qoranii bofaan ajjeefaman sana nu Gooftaa qoruu hin qabnu.
We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
10 Isin akka isaan keessaa tokko tokko guungumanii isa nama balleessuun balleeffaman sana hin guunguminaa.
And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.
11 Kun hundi akka fakkeenya taʼuuf isaan irratti raawwatame; nuu warra dhumni baraa itti dhufeef immoo akka of eeggannaa taʼuuf barreeffame. (aiōn g165)
Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. (aiōn g165)
12 Kanaafuu namni waan dhaabate of seʼu akka hin kufneef of haa eeggatu.
So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
13 Qorama nama irra gaʼu malee qoramni tokko iyyuu isinitti hin dhufne. Waaqnis amanamaa dha; inni akka isin waan baachuu hin dandeenyeen qoramtan isin hin godhu. Yommuu qoramtanitti garuu inni akka isin obsuu dandeessaniif karaa ittiin keessaa baatan isiniif qopheessa.
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
14 Kanaafuu yaa michoota ko, isin waaqota tolfamoo waaqeffachuu irraa baqadhaa.
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 Ani namoota hubannaa qabanittin dubbadha; waan ani dubbadhu isinuu murteessaa.
I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
16 Xoofoon eebbaa kan nu eebbifnu sun dhiiga Kiristoos wajjin tokkummaa qaba mitii? Buddeenni nu caccabsinu sunis foon Kiristoos wajjin tokkummaa qaba mitii?
Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
17 Waan buddeenni tokko qofti jiruuf, nu baayʼee taanu iyyuu dhagnuma tokko; hundi keenya buddeenuma tokkicha sana irraa hirmaannaatii.
Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
18 Mee saba Israaʼel ilaalaa: Warri aarsaa irraa nyaatan sun iddoo aarsaa irraa qooda qabu mitii?
Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
19 Egaa maal jechuu koo ti? Nyaanni waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa dhiʼeeffamu wayi moo ree yookaan Waaqni tolfamaan wayi moo ree jechuu kootii?
Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20 Akkas miti; aarsaan namoonni ormaa dhiʼeessan hafuurota hamoodhaaf malee Waaqaaf miti; ani akka isin hafuurota hamoo wajjin tokkummaa qabaattan hin barbaadu.
No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.
21 Isin xoofoo Gooftaatii fi xoofoo hafuurota hamoo dhuguu hin dandeessan; maaddii Gooftaatii fi maaddii hafuurota hamoo irrattis hirmaachuu hin dandeessan.
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
22 Nu Gooftaa hinaaffaaf kakaafnaa? Nu isa caalaas jabaannaa?
Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23 “Wanni hundinuu anaaf eeyyamamaa dha;” kan faayidaa qabu garuu waan hunda miti. “Wanni hundinuu anaaf eeyyamamaa dha;” kan nama fayyadu garuu waan hunda miti.
“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
24 Namni tokko iyyuu waan warra kaaniif gaarii taʼe barbaaduu qaba malee waan ofii isaatiif gaarii taʼe barbaaduu hin qabu.
No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
25 Utuu gaaffii qalbii keessaa tokko illee hin kaasin waan gabaa fooniitti gurguramu kam iyyuu nyaadhaa;
Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
26 “Laftii fi wanni lafa irra jiru hundinuu kan Gooftaatii.”
for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
27 Warra hin amanin keessaa yoo namni tokko nyaataaf isin affeere, isinis yoo dhaquu barbaaddan dhaqaa; utuu gaaffii qalbii keessaa tokko illee hin kaasin waan isin duratti dhiʼeeffame kam iyyuu nyaadhaa.
If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
28 Garuu yoo namni tokko, “Kun waaqota tolfamoodhaaf dhiʼeeffame” isiniin jedhe, sababii namicha isinitti hime sanaatii fi sababii qalbiitiif waan sana hin nyaatinaa.
But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—
29 Kanas qalbii namicha sanaati malee kan keeti jechuu koo miti. Maaliif qalbii nama biraatiin bilisummaa kootti murama ree?
the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
30 Ani ergan galateeffachuudhaan nyaata sana irratti hirmaadhee maaliifan waan ittiin Waaqa galateeffadhuun balaaleffatama ree?
If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
31 Kanaafuu yoo nyaattan yookaan yoo dhugdan yookaan yoo waanuma fedhe illee hojjettan waan hunda ulfina Waaqaatiif hojjedhaa.
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
32 Yihuudoota yookaan Giriikota yookaan waldaa kiristaanaa kan Waaqaa hin gufachiisinaa;
Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—
33 kunis akkuma ani nama hunda karaa hundaan gammachiisuuf yaalii godhutti jechuu dha. Ani akka isaan fayyaniif buʼaa namoota baayʼeetiif malee buʼaa kootiif jedhee waan kana hin godhu.
as I also try to please everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.
