1 karinthinaḥ 10

1 hē bhrātaraḥ, asmatpitr̥puruṣānadhi yūyaṁ yadajñātā na tiṣṭhatēti mama vāñchā, tē sarvvē mēghādhaḥsthitā babhūvuḥ sarvvē samudramadhyēna vavrajuḥ,

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

2 sarvvē mūsāmuddiśya mēghasamudrayō rmajjitā babhūvuḥ

and were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

3 sarvva ēkam ātmikaṁ bhakṣyaṁ bubhujira ēkam ātmikaṁ pēyaṁ papuśca

and all ate the same spiritual food,

4 yatastē'nucarata ātmikād acalāt labdhaṁ tōyaṁ papuḥ sō'calaḥ khrīṣṭaēva|

and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual rock that accompanied them; and the rock was Christ;

5 tathā satyapi tēṣāṁ madhyē'dhikēṣu lōkēṣvīśvarō na santutōṣēti hētōstē prantarē nipātitāḥ|

but with most of them God was not well pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness.

6 ētasmin tē 'smākaṁ nidarśanasvarūpā babhūvuḥ; atastē yathā kutsitābhilāṣiṇō babhūvurasmābhistathā kutsitābhilāṣibhi rna bhavitavyaṁ|

Now these things were warnings for us, in order that we should not lust after evil things, as they lusted.

7 likhitamāstē, lōkā bhōktuṁ pātuñcōpaviviśustataḥ krīḍitumutthitā itayanēna prakārēṇa tēṣāṁ kaiścid yadvad dēvapūjā kr̥tā yuṣmābhistadvat na kriyatāṁ|

And do not ye become idolaters, as some of them did; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport.”

8 aparaṁ tēṣāṁ kaiścid yadvad vyabhicāraḥ kr̥tastēna caikasmin dinē trayōviṁśatisahasrāṇi lōkā nipātitāstadvad asmābhi rvyabhicārō na karttavyaḥ|

Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them did, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 tēṣāṁ kēcid yadvat khrīṣṭaṁ parīkṣitavantastasmād bhujaṅgai rnaṣṭāśca tadvad asmābhiḥ khrīṣṭō na parīkṣitavyaḥ|

Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and were destroyed by the serpents.

10 tēṣāṁ kēcid yathā vākkalahaṁ kr̥tavantastatkāraṇāt hantrā vināśitāśca yuṣmābhistadvad vākkalahō na kriyatāṁ|

And do not ye murmur, as some of them murmured, and perished by the Destroyer.

11 tān prati yānyētāni jaghaṭirē tānyasmākaṁ nidarśanāni jagataḥ śēṣayugē varttamānānām asmākaṁ śikṣārthaṁ likhitāni ca babhūvuḥ| (aiōn g165)

Now these things happened to them as warnings, and were recorded for our admonition, to whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)

12 ataēva yaḥ kaścid susthiraṁmanyaḥ sa yanna patēt tatra sāvadhānō bhavatu|

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

13 mānuṣikaparīkṣātiriktā kāpi parīkṣā yuṣmān nākrāmat, īśvaraśca viśvāsyaḥ sō'tiśaktyāṁ parīkṣāyāṁ patanāt yuṣmān rakṣiṣyati, parīkṣā ca yad yuṣmābhiḥ sōḍhuṁ śakyatē tadarthaṁ tayā saha nistārasya panthānaṁ nirūpayiṣyati|

No temptation hath come upon you, but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to endure, but will with the temptation furnish also the way to escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

14 hē priyabhrātaraḥ, dēvapūjātō dūram apasarata|

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

15 ahaṁ yuṣmān vijñān matvā prabhāṣē mayā yat kathyatē tad yuṣmābhi rvivicyatāṁ|

I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say.

16 yad dhanyavādapātram asmābhi rdhanyaṁ gadyatē tat kiṁ khrīṣṭasya śōṇitasya sahabhāgitvaṁ nahi? yaśca pūpō'smābhi rbhajyatē sa kiṁ khrīṣṭasya vapuṣaḥ sahabhāgitvaṁ nahi?

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? the loaf which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ?

17 vayaṁ bahavaḥ santō'pyēkapūpasvarūpā ēkavapuḥsvarūpāśca bhavāmaḥ, yatō vayaṁ sarvva ēkapūpasya sahabhāginaḥ|

For we, the many, are one loaf, one body; for we all share in that one loaf.

18 yūyaṁ śārīrikam isrāyēlīyavaṁśaṁ nirīkṣadhvaṁ| yē balīnāṁ māṁsāni bhuñjatē tē kiṁ yajñavēdyāḥ sahabhāginō na bhavanti?

Look at Israel by natural descent. Have not those who eat of the sacrifices, communion with the altar?

19 ityanēna mayā kiṁ kathyatē? dēvatā vāstavikī dēvatāyai balidānaṁ vā vāstavikaṁ kiṁ bhavēt?

What do I say then? That what is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? Or that an idol is anything?

20 tannahi kintu bhinnajātibhi ryē balayō dīyantē ta īśvarāya tannahi bhūtēbhyaēva dīyantē tasmād yūyaṁ yad bhūtānāṁ sahabhāginō bhavathētyahaṁ nābhilaṣāmi|

Nay, but that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should have communion with demons.

21 prabhōḥ kaṁsēna bhūtānāmapi kaṁsēna pānaṁ yuṣmābhirasādhyaṁ; yūyaṁ prabhō rbhōjyasya bhūtānāmapi bhōjyasya sahabhāginō bhavituṁ na śaknutha|

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons; ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and the table of demons.

22 vayaṁ kiṁ prabhuṁ sparddhiṣyāmahē? vayaṁ kiṁ tasmād balavantaḥ?

Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

23 māṁ prati sarvvaṁ karmmāpratiṣiddhaṁ kintu na sarvvaṁ hitajanakaṁ sarvvam apratiṣiddhaṁ kintu na sarvvaṁ niṣṭhājanakaṁ|

All things are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all things are not edifying.

24 ātmahitaḥ kēnāpi na cēṣṭitavyaḥ kintu sarvvaiḥ parahitaścēṣṭitavyaḥ|

Let no one seek his own pleasure, but the good of others.

25 āpaṇē yat krayyaṁ tad yuṣmābhiḥ saṁvēdasyārthaṁ kimapi na pr̥ṣṭvā bhujyatāṁ

Whatever is sold in the market that eat, without asking questions for the sake of conscience;

26 yataḥ pr̥thivī tanmadhyasthañca sarvvaṁ paramēśvarasya|

for “the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.”

27 aparam aviśvāsilōkānāṁ kēnacit nimantritā yūyaṁ yadi tatra jigamiṣatha tarhi tēna yad yad upasthāpyatē tad yuṣmābhiḥ saṁvēdasyārthaṁ kimapi na pr̥ṣṭvā bhujyatāṁ|

And if one who is an unbeliever inviteth you to a feast, and ye choose to go, eat whatever is set before you, without asking any questions for the sake of conscience.

28 kintu tatra yadi kaścid yuṣmān vadēt bhakṣyamētad dēvatāyāḥ prasāda iti tarhi tasya jñāpayituranurōdhāt saṁvēdasyārthañca tad yuṣmābhi rna bhōktavyaṁ| pr̥thivī tanmadhyasthañca sarvvaṁ paramēśvarasya,

But if any one say to you, This hath been offered in sacrifice to an idol, do not eat of it, on account of him that showed you this, and from a regard to conscience;

29 satyamētat, kintu mayā yaḥ saṁvēdō nirddiśyatē sa tava nahi parasyaiva|

conscience I mean, not thine own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty to be judged by another conscience [[than my own]]?

30 anugrahapātrēṇa mayā dhanyavādaṁ kr̥tvā yad bhujyatē tatkāraṇād ahaṁ kutō nindiṣyē?

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I to be evil spoken of in a matter for which I give thanks?

31 tasmād bhōjanaṁ pānam anyadvā karmma kurvvadbhi ryuṣmābhiḥ sarvvamēvēśvarasya mahimnaḥ prakāśārthaṁ kriyatāṁ|

Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

32 yihūdīyānāṁ bhinnajātīyānām īśvarasya samājasya vā vighnajanakai ryuṣmābhi rna bhavitavyaṁ|

Give no occasion of stumbling either to Jews or Greeks, or to the church of God;

33 ahamapyātmahitam acēṣṭamānō bahūnāṁ paritrāṇārthaṁ tēṣāṁ hitaṁ cēṣṭamānaḥ sarvvaviṣayē sarvvēṣāṁ tuṣṭikarō bhavāmītyanēnāhaṁ yadvat khrīṣṭasyānugāmī tadvad yūyaṁ mamānugāminō bhavata|

as I also strive to please all in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many; that they may be saved.
