1 Kolinitō 10

1 Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ʻe kāinga, ke mou taʻeʻilo, naʻe ʻi he malumalu ʻoe ʻao ʻa ʻetau ngaahi tamai kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu kotoa pē ʻi he tahi;

And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2 Pea naʻe papitaiso kotoa pē ia Mōsese ʻi he ʻao pea ʻi he tahi;

and all were immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;

3 Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē ʻi he meʻakai fakalaumālie pe taha;

and all ate the same spiritual food,

4 Pea naʻa nau inu kotoa pē ʻi he inu fakalaumālie pe taha: he naʻa nau inu mei he Maka fakalaumālie ko ia ʻaia naʻe muimui [ʻiate kinautolu]: pea ko e Maka ko ia ko Kalaisi.

and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;

5 Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi fiemālie ʻae ʻOtua ki honau tokolahi: he naʻe tulaki hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa.

but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

6 Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ko e ngaahi fakatātā kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau holi ki he ngaahi meʻa kovi, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau holi kovi.

and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these desired.

7 Pea ʻoua naʻa mou tauhi tamapua, ʻo hangē ko honau niʻihi; ʻo tatau mo ia kuo tohi, “Naʻe nofo hifo ʻae kakai ke kai mo inu, pea tutuʻu hake ʻo meʻe.”

Neither become idolaters, as certain of them, as it has been written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play”;

8 Pea ʻoua naʻa tau fai feʻauaki, ʻo hangē ko e fai ʻe honau niʻihi, pea tō ai ʻi he ʻaho pe taha ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko tolu afe.

neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;

9 Pea ʻoua naʻa tau ʻahiʻahi kia Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiʻahi ʻo honau niʻihi, pea tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae fanga ngata.

neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents;

10 Pea ʻoua naʻa mou lāunga, ʻo hangē ko e lāunga ʻa honau niʻihi, pea nau ʻauha ʻi he fakaʻauha.

neither murmur, as also some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.

11 Pea naʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu ko e ngaahi fakaʻilonga: pea kuo tohi ia ko hotau akonakiʻi, ʻakitautolu kuo hoko ki ai hono ngataʻanga ʻoe kuonga. (aiōn g165)

And all these things happened to those persons as types, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages came, (aiōn g165)

12 Pea ko ia ʻoku mahalo ʻoku ne tuʻu, ke vakai telia naʻa hinga ia.

so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.

13 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻahiʻahi ʻe tō kiate kimoutolu ka ko ia ʻoku faʻa hoko ki he tangata: ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke lahi hono ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa te mou faʻa fai; ka ʻi he ʻahiʻahi ʻe tofa foki ʻe ia ʻae hala ke hao ai, koeʻuhi ke mou faʻa kātaki ia.

No temptation has taken you—except that of man; and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above what you are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].

14 Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, puna mei he tauhi tamapua.

For this reason, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;

15 ‌ʻOku ou lea atu ki ke kau tangata poto; mou fakamaau ki heʻeku lea.

as to wise men I speak—judge what I say.

16 Ko e ipu ʻoe tāpuaki ʻaia ʻoku mau tāpuakiʻi, ʻikai ko e feohiʻanga ia ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi? Ko e mā ʻoku mau tofitofi, ʻikai ko e feohiʻanga ia ʻi he sino ʻo Kalaisi?

The cup of the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? The bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?

17 Pea koeʻuhi ʻoku taha pe ʻae foʻi mā, ko kitautolu ko e tokolahi ko e sino pe taha: he ʻoku tau ʻinasi fakataha ʻi he foʻi mā pe taha ko ia.

Because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all partake of the one bread.

18 Vakai ki ʻIsileli fakakakano: ʻikai ʻoku kau fakataha mo e ʻesifeilaulau ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau?

See Israel according to the flesh! Are those not eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?

19 Ka ʻoku ou pehē ai ko e hā? Ko ha meʻa koā ʻae tamapua, pe ko ha meʻa ʻaia ʻoku ʻatu ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua?

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

20 [ʻE ʻikai]; he ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻe he kakai Senitaile, ʻoku nau feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tēvolo, kae ʻikai ki he ʻOtua: pea ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ke mou feohi mo e ngaahi tēvolo.

[No, ] but that the things that the nations sacrifice—they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.

21 ‌ʻOku ʻikai te mou faʻa inu ʻi he ipu ʻae ʻEiki, mo e ipu ʻae ngaahi tēvolo: ʻoku ʻikai te mou faʻa kau ʻi he keinangaʻanga ʻae ʻEiki, mo e keinangaʻanga ʻae ngaahi tēvolo.

You are not able to drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of demons; you are not able to partake of the table of the LORD and of the table of demons;

22 Pea te tau fakafuaʻa ʻae ʻEiki? ʻOku tau mālohi kiate ia?

do we arouse the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

23 ‌ʻOku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē: ʻoku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻoku ʻikai langa hake kotoa pē.

All things are lawful to me, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful to me, but not all things build up;

24 Ke ʻoua naʻa kumi taki taha hono lelei pe ʻoʻona, ka ki he lelei ʻae niʻihi kehe.

let no one seek his own—but each another’s.

25 ‌ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻoku fakatau ʻi he potu fakatau, kai ia, pea ʻoua naʻa fehuʻi telia ʻae loto:

Eat whatever is sold in the meat-market, not inquiring, because of the conscience,

26 He “ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻae fonua, mo hono fonu ʻo ia.”

for the earth and its fullness [are] the LORD’s;

27 Kapau ʻe talaki ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai tui, pea ʻoku mou loto ke ʻalu ki ai; ko ia ʻoku tuku ʻi homou ʻao, kai, pea ʻoua naʻa fehuʻi telia ʻae loto.

and if anyone of the unbelieving calls you, and you wish to go, eat all that is set before you, inquiring nothing, because of the conscience;

28 Ka ʻoka pehē ʻe ha taha kiate kimoutolu, “Kuo feilaulau ʻaki eni ki he ngaahi tamapua,” ʻoua naʻa mou kai ia, [telia ]ia kuo ne fakahā, pea telia mo e loto foki: he “ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻae fonua, mo hono fonu ʻo ia:”

and if anyone may say to you, “This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,” do not eat, because of that one who showed [it], and of the conscience, for the LORD’s [is] the earth and its fullness:

29 ‌ʻOku ou pehē “ko e loto,” kae ʻikai ʻoʻou, ka ʻoe tokotaha: he ko e hā ʻoku fakamaau ai ʻeku tauʻatāina ʻaki ʻae loto ʻoe taha kehe?

and conscience, I say, not of yourself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another’s conscience?

30 He kapau ko ha meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻoku ou maʻu ai ia, ko e hā ʻoku lauʻikovi ai au ʻi he meʻa ko ia ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi ai?”

And if I partake thankfully, why am I spoken of [as] evil, for that for which I give thanks?

31 Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou kai, pe inu, pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou fai, fai kotoa pē ke fakaongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua.

Whether, then, you eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

32 ‌ʻOua naʻa fai fakaʻita, pe ki he kakai Siu, pe ki he kakai Senitaile, pe ki he siasi ʻoe ʻOtua:

become offenseless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the Assembly of God;

33 ‌ʻIo, ʻo hangē ko au, ʻoku ou fakafiemālieʻi ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo ʻikai kumi ʻae lelei ʻoʻoku, ka ko e lelei ʻoe tokolahi, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui.

as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many—that they may be saved.
