١ كورنثوس 10

١ 1 فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَنَّ آبَاءَنَا جَمِيعَهُمْ كَانُوا تَحْتَ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ، وَجَمِيعَهُمُ ٱجْتَازُوا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ،

Now I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

٢ 2 وَجَمِيعَهُمُ ٱعْتَمَدُوا لِمُوسَى فِي ٱلسَّحَابَةِ وَفِي ٱلْبَحْرِ،

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

٣ 3 وَجَمِيعَهُمْ أَكَلُوا طَعَامًا وَاحِدًا رُوحِيًّا،

and all ate the same spiritual food,

٤ 4 وَجَمِيعَهُمْ شَرِبُوا شَرَابًا وَاحِدًا رُوحِيًّا، لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ صَخْرَةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ تَابِعَتِهِمْ، وَٱلصَّخْرَةُ كَانَتِ ٱلْمَسِيحَ.

and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they were drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.

٥ 5 لَكِنْ بِأَكْثَرِهِمْ لَمْ يُسَرَّ ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ طُرِحُوا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ.

Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

٦ 6 وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ حَدَثَتْ مِثَالًا لَنَا، حَتَّى لَا نَكُونَ نَحْنُ مُشْتَهِينَ شُرُورًا كَمَا ٱشْتَهَى أُولَئِكَ.

Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did.

٧ 7 فَلَا تَكُونُوا عَبَدَةَ أَوْثَانٍ كَمَا كَانَ أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «جَلَسَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِلْأَكْلِ وَٱلشُّرْبِ، ثُمَّ قَامُوا لِلَّعِبِ».

So do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”

٨ 8 وَلَا نَزْنِ كَمَا زَنَى أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَسَقَطَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ ثَلَاثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا.

We must not commit fornication as some of them did, and in a single day twenty-three thousand of them died.

٩ 9 وَلَا نُجَرِّبِ ٱلْمَسِيحَ كَمَا جَرَّبَ أَيْضًا أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَأَهْلَكَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَيَّاتُ.

We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were killed by serpents.

١٠ 10 وَلَا تَتَذَمَّرُوا كَمَا تَذَمَّرَ أَيْضًا أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَأَهْلَكَهُمُ ٱلْمُهْلِكُ.

And do not grumble as some of them did and were killed by the destroyer.

١١ 11 فَهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ جَمِيعُهَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مِثَالًا، وَكُتِبَتْ لإِنْذَارِنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱنْتَهَتْ إِلَيْنَا أَوَاخِرُ ٱلدُّهُورِ. (aiōn g165)

Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come. (aiōn g165)

١٢ 12 إِذًا مَنْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ قَائِمٌ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَنْ لَا يَسْقُطَ.

Therefore whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall.

١٣ 13 لَمْ تُصِبْكُمْ تَجْرِبَةٌ إِلَّا بَشَرِيَّةٌ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ أَمِينٌ، ٱلَّذِي لَا يَدَعُكُمْ تُجَرَّبُونَ فَوْقَ مَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ، بَلْ سَيَجْعَلُ مَعَ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةِ أَيْضًا ٱلْمَنْفَذَ، لِتَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَحْتَمِلُوا.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man. God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear, but with the temptation he will also provide the way out so that you can endure it.

١٤ 14 لِذَلِكَ يَا أَحِبَّائِي ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ عِبَادَةِ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ.

Therefore, my beloved friends, flee from idolatry.

١٥ 15 أَقُولُ كَمَا لِلْحُكَمَاءِ: ٱحْكُمُوا أَنْتُمْ فِي مَا أَقُولُ:

I am speaking as I would to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I am saying.

١٦ 16 كَأْسُ ٱلْبَرَكَةِ ٱلَّتِي نُبَارِكُهَا، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ شَرِكَةَ دَمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ؟ ٱلْخُبْزُ ٱلَّذِي نَكْسِرُهُ، أَلَيْسَ هُوَ شَرِكَةَ جَسَدِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ؟

Is not the cup of blessing that we bless the communion of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break the communion of the body of Christ?

١٧ 17 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ خُبْزٌ وَاحِدٌ، جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ، لِأَنَّنَا جَمِيعَنَا نَشْتَرِكُ فِي ٱلْخُبْزِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ.

Because we, who are many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

١٨ 18 ٱنْظُرُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ. أَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلذَّبَائِحَ هُمْ شُرَكَاءَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ؟

Consider those who belong to Israel according to the flesh: Are they not united by eating the sacrifices of the altar?

١٩ 19 فَمَاذَا أَقُولُ؟ أَإِنَّ ٱلْوَثَنَ شَيْءٌ، أَوْ إِنَّ مَا ذُبِحَ لِلْوَثَنِ شَيْءٌ؟!

What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or that food sacrificed to an idol is anything?

٢٠ 20 بَلْ إِنَّ مَا يَذْبَحُهُ ٱلْأُمَمُ فَإِنَّمَا يَذْبَحُونَهُ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ، لَا لِلهِ. فَلَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءَ ٱلشَّيَاطِينِ.

No, I am saying that what the pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.

٢١ 21 لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَشْرَبُوا كَأْسَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَكَأْسَ شَيَاطِينَ. لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَشْتَرِكُوا فِي مَائِدَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي مَائِدَةِ شَيَاطِينَ.

You cannot drink both the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

٢٢ 22 أَمْ نُغِيرُ ٱلرَّبَّ؟ أَلَعَلَّنَا أَقْوَى مِنْهُ؟

Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he is?

٢٣ 23 «كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَحِلُّ لِي»، لَكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تُوَافِقُ. «كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَحِلُّ لِي»، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَبْنِي.

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things edify.

٢٤ 24 لَا يَطْلُبْ أَحَدٌ مَا هُوَ لِنَفْسِهِ، بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا هُوَ لِلْآخَرِ.

No one should seek his own good, but each person should seek the good of others.

٢٥ 25 كُلُّ مَا يُبَاعُ فِي ٱلْمَلْحَمَةِ كُلُوهُ غَيْرَ فَاحِصِينَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلضَّمِيرِ،

Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, questioning nothing for the sake of conscience,

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّ «لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا».

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

٢٧ 27 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَدْعُوكُمْ، وَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَذْهَبُوا، فَكُلُّ مَا يُقَدَّمُ لَكُمْ كُلُوا مِنْهُ غَيْرَ فَاحِصِينَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلضَّمِيرِ.

If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you, questioning nothing for the sake of conscience.

٢٨ 28 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالَ لَكُمْ أَحَدٌ: «هَذَا مَذْبُوحٌ لِوَثَنٍ» فَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَاكَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْلَمَكُمْ، وَٱلضَّمِيرِ. لِأَنَّ «لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا».

But if someone says to you, “This meat was sacrificed to an idol,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you and for the sake of conscience; for “the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.”

٢٩ 29 أَقُولُ «ٱلضَّمِيرُ»، لَيْسَ ضَمِيرَكَ أَنْتَ، بَلْ ضَمِيرُ ٱلْآخَرِ. لِأَنَّهُ لِمَاذَا يُحْكَمُ فِي حُرِّيَّتِي مِنْ ضَمِيرِ آخَرَ؟

But when I say “conscience,” I am not speaking about yoʋr own conscience, but the other person's conscience. For why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?

٣٠ 30 فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَتَنَاوَلُ بِشُكْرٍ، فَلِمَاذَا يُفْتَرَى عَلَيَّ لِأَجْلِ مَا أَشْكُرُ عَلَيْهِ؟

If I partake with thankfulness, why should I be criticized because of something for which I give thanks?

٣١ 31 فَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ أَوْ تَشْرَبُونَ أَوْ تَفْعَلُونَ شَيْئًا، فَٱفْعَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ.

So whether you eat or drink or do anything, do it all for the glory of God.

٣٢ 32 كُونُوا بِلَا عَثْرَةٍ لِلْيَهُودِ وَلِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَلِكَنِيسَةِ ٱللهِ.

Give no offense to Jews or Greeks or the church of God,

٣٣ 33 كَمَا أَنَا أَيْضًا أُرْضِي ٱلْجَمِيعَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، غَيْرَ طَالِبٍ مَا يُوَافِقُ نَفْسِي، بَلِ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ، لِكَيْ يَخْلُصُوا.

just as I also try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own benefit, but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved.
