1 Ukorintiyawa 10

1 In dinin su iyinin, nuana nilime nin nishono, achifbite vat wa chinu kadas kuwut idi kata nan nya kurawa,

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

2 vat mine iwa shitin Nani nmeng nan nya musa nin kuwut a kurawa,

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

3 vat mine tutung wali imonli ilau irumwe,

and did all eat the same spiritual food,

4 vat sono nmeng nsonu mi lau mirumme. Bara na iwa sono kiti kuparan Kongo Na kuwa dortu nani, kuparan kone wa di Kristi ari.

and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was the Christ.

5 Among mine gwardan na Kutellẹ wa lanza nman mine kan ba, unare wati abimine yita bú nan nya kushoẹ.

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

6 Nene ilẹ imone inin so nari imon yenju, bara arik wa dortu imon inanza nafo na inughe wa su.

Now these things took place as examples for us, that we should not desire evil things, as they, also, desired.

7 Nati waso anan chip ba, nafo na amon mine wadi-nafo Na iyerti di “Anit wa so ileu isono, imon fits nin nibinayin nozu nan nawani, izu avu.”

Neither be you idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written: Tho people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to engage in idolatrous sport.

8 Na tiwa nozo nin nawani buu ba, nafo na amon mine gwardan wa sunani, anit amoi akut aba nin Na tat nin ku liri lirume.

Nor let us be guilty of lewdness, as some of them were guilty, and fell, in one day, twenty-three thousand.

9 Nati wa mala Kristi ku ba, nafo na gwardan namon mine wasu iyii ini wa kifizin nani ikuzu.

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

10 Tutun na tiwasu ugwonduluba, nafo na amon mine gwardan wa su, unan kadura Kutellẹ ulẹ wa molu nani.

Nor do you murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 Nene Ile imone wase nani inan so arikeku imon yenju, inani wa yertu inin inan sonari imon wunnu natuff bara kitene bitere kubin nmalu iyii (aiōn g165)

Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they are written for the instruction of us, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)

12 Bara nani ame ule na adin yenju ayisin Na asu sen bara awa diu.

Wherefore, let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he foil.

13 Na imonmon duku ilenge na idi inmaluzu madamu irika na anit yiruba; Kutelle unan kidegenari udu ligan: na ama sun minu ise umalun indiu ule na ukati likara mineba, vat nani nin nimon malun indiuwe ama punu nari Libau nnuzu bara tinan se uteru nibinayi mun.

No trial has come upon you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried more than you are able to bear; but he will, with the trial, make a way to escape, so that you be able to bear up under it.

14 Bara nani nuana insu kibinayi nin, con pit kitin chil.

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

15 Ndin liru nan ghinu nafo anan kpilizu bara inan wutu kimal nimon ile na in belle.

I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.

16 Kakuk nmari na asa tita nmari ku, ikosuzoari nan nya nmii in Kristi ba? Likalan nfungul na tidin pucu, ukosuzoari nan nya kidowon Kristiba?

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

17 Bara na likalan nfungul lirumari, arik alenge nati karin kidowo kirumari, vat bite din li likalan nfungul lirume ligowe.

Because the loaf is one, we, the many, are one body, for we are all partakers of the one loaf.

18 Yenen anutin Israila nburnu: na asa ileo ujuju ulauwe, na uso limununari nin nimon ile na isu napik alaunwe ba?

Look at Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers with the altar?

19 Iyaghari ndin bellu nene? Au inchil imoimonaria? Sa imon ile na ikanja kiti inchil imoimonari?

What, then, do I say? That an idol is any thing? or, that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?

20 Nbelle nenge, imon ile na alumai din duzu idi nakwiza natala na Kutellẹri idin nizughe ba, agwargenuari. Na ndinin su imunu ati nin nagwergonu ba!

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. I do not wish you to be partakers with demons.

21 Na iwasa isono kakkuk Ncikilari ini kuru ida sono kakkuk nagwergenu ba. Na uwasa uyita nin Cikilari bite kutebul me ukuru uyita kiti kutebul nagwergenu ba.

You can not drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: you can not be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

22 Sa timananzu Cikilare ayi asu liyarina? Akara bite katin ame?

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

23 “Imon vat inseruari” na vat nimonari di in libunba.

All meats are lawful for me; but all are not profitable; all are lawful, but all do not edify.

24 Na umon wa pizurru nman litime ba. Nani, na kogha pizuru nmang ndon lisosin me.

Let no one seek his own, but each the welfare of the other.

25 Uwasa uleu imon ilenge na idin lessu nkasau sa utirunu.

Any thing that is sold in the market, eat, asking no questions on account of conscience:

26 “Uyẹ nin nimon ilenge na idin nan nyẹ in Kutellẹari.''

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

27 Asa unan salin yinnun nin Kutellẹ nyichilafi ndi li nimonli, fe ta kibinayi umadu, leu imon ilenge na iceu nbunfe sa utirunu.

If any one of the unbelievers invites you to a feast, and you are disposed to go, eat any thing that is set before you, asking no questions for conscience sake.

28 Vat nani, adi umon worofi, “imoli ilele inuzumun kiti ncillari nari uli ninin. Nane bara ulenge na abellin fiari, a bara ukpilluzu kibinayi tutun.

But if any one say to you: This is sacrificed to idols; eat not, for the sake of him that pointed it out, and for conscience sake:

29 Ndin bellu ni kpiluzu kibinayi inlelere, a na kinfe ba. Bara iyari bati nfang kibinayi nighe umoghari kpilizai muna?

conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. Why, then, is my liberty judged by the conscience of another?

30 Nwali imonli ilele nin liburi libo bara iyaghari iliri nanzan kitene nimon ilenge na nta nlira ku?

If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of on account of that for which I give thanks?

31 Bara nani, sa idin li sa idin so, sa vat nimon ile na idin su, sun vat bara uzazunu Kutellẹ.

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

32 Na iwati umon se imon ntiruba, sa nan nya na Yahudawa sa a Hellenawa, sa nan nya kilari Kutellẹ.

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

33 Tan kayiri isu nafo na nna su kayir npo vat nanit ayi nan nya vat nimon, na nin pizuru nimoimon in litinin ba, bara anit gwardan nan se utuchu.

even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own good, but that of the many, in order that they may be saved.
