1 Corinthians 10
1 Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
Achinjangu ngusaka mmanyilile yakuti, achatati ŵetu ŵaliji wose paasi liunde, ni wose ŵajombweche salama Bahali ja Shamu.
2 and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
Wose ŵabatiswe mu liunde ni mu bahali, kuti alumbikane ni che Musa.
3 and all ate the same spiritual food;
Wose ŵalile chakulya chilachila cha mbumu.
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
Iyoyo wose ŵang'wele chakung'wa chilachila cha mbumu, pakuŵa ŵang'wele meesi gagatyochele mu lwala lwa mbumu luŵalukuiye, lwala lula lwaliji Kilisito nsyene.
5 However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Nambo achajinji nnope mu wele mpingo wo, Akunnungu ngananonyelwa nawo, kwapele ŵawile ni iilu yao yajenele mwipululu.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
Kwapele indu yo yose yatyochele kutujamuka uwe tukaŵa ŵandu ŵakulajila yangalumbana mpela ŵanyawo iŵatite pakulajila.
7 Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
Ngasinnyipopelela inyago mpela ŵane iŵatite kutenda, mpela itite pakulembekwa Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, “Ŵandu ŵatemi kulya ni kung'wa, nipele ŵajimi ni kutyala kwa kupunilana.”
8 Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
Tukatenda chigwagwa mpela ŵane mwa ŵanyawo iŵatite pakupanganya, pa lyuŵa limo ŵajasiche ŵandu elufu ishilini na tatu.
9 Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
Tukaalinga Kilisito mpela ŵane mwa ŵanyawo iŵalinjile, wose ŵajasiche kwa kulumikwa ni majoka.
10 Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
Ngasinnyinyita mpela ŵane mwa ŵanyawo iŵatite kunyinyita, ŵaulajikwe ni katumetume jwa kwinani jwakuichisya chiwa.
11 Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
Yeleyo yose yaagwilile ŵanyawo kuti uŵe tujiganyikwe, yalembekwe kutujamuka uweji ŵatuli mmoŵa gaambesi. (aiōn g165)
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
Kwapele mundu jwakuliganisya kuti ajimi kwakulimbila alilolechesye anaiche kugwa.
13 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Kulinjikwa kunkulinjikwa kuli kwa kawaida kwapata ŵandu. Akunnungu ali ŵakukulupilichika, nombewo ngasanneka nlinjikwe kupunda ukombole wenu. Nambo pankulinjikwa, ŵelewo champe machili ga kupililila ni litala lya kukopochela.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
Kwaligongo lyo achalongo achinjangu ŵakunonyelwa ntame kwakutalichila kuipopelela inyago.
15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
Nguŵecheta ni ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵaali ni umanyilisi, muiganisyeje ingunsalila yi.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?
Chikombe chitukuchitumia pa chakulya cha Ambuje ni chitukwatogolela Ambuje, tukulumbikana ni miasi ja Kilisito. Patukulya nkate, tukulumbikana ni chiilu cha Kilisito.
17 Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
Pakuŵa nkate uli umo, namuno tuli ŵajinji, tuli chiilu chimo, pakutipala wose tukugaŵana nkate umo pewo.
18 Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
Nchilole achila chakuchipanganya ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli, ŵelewo ŵakulya mbopesi sya pa chilisa, akukamulangana pamo kutyosya mbopesi syo kwa Akunnungu.
19 What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
Ana nyile uli? Chakulya chachitajikwe mbopesi kwa inyago, chikwete malumbo? Pane chinyago chikwete malumbo?
20 But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
Ngwamba! Chingusaka kusala chili chelechi: Mbopesi sya ŵandu ŵangakwamanyilila Akunnungu akusityosya kwa masoka ni ngaŵa kwa Akunnungu. Noneji ngangusaka ŵanyamwe nlumbikane ni masoka.
21 You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.
Ngankombola kuching'welela chikombe cha Ambuje akuno nkung'welela chikombe cha masoka. Ngankombola kulya chakulya cha Ambuje ni papopo nkulya chakulya cha masoka.
22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
Ana tukusaka kwatendekasya Ambuje akole wiu? Ana tukuganisya tukwete machili nnope kwapunda ŵelewo?
23 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
Ŵandu ŵane akuti, “Indu yose ngaikukanywa,” nambo une nguti, ngaŵa yose pe yaikuŵajila. Ni ŵandu ŵane akuti, “Indu yose ngaikukanywa,” nambo une nguti, ngaŵa yose pe yaikukamuchisya.
24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.
Mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe akalisosela kupoka kwakwe nsyene pe, nambo asoseje ni kupoka kwa achinjakwe.
25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
Yose yaikusumikwa pakusumichisya malonda nlyeje pangausya, kwa liwamba lya miningwa jenu.
26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Chilambo chili chao Ambuje ni yose yaili mwelemo ili yakwe.”
27 But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
Naga mundu jwangakunkulupilila Kilisito annaliche pa chakulya, ni ŵanyamwe nkusaka kwaula, nlyeje yaili yose ichammichile pangausyausya kwa liwamba lya miningwa jenu.
28 But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
Nambo ansalilaga mundu, “Chakulya chi chetaje mbopesi kwa inyago,” nkalya, kwaligongo lya mundu jwammanyisye ni kwa liwamba lya miningwa,
29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
nguti, kwa liwamba lya miningwa, nambo ngaŵa miningwa jenu nambo nningwa wa ajula jwammanyisye. “Kwa chichi kulechelelwa kwangu une kulamulikwe ni nningwa wa mundu jwine?
30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
Iŵaga une ngwatogolela Akunnungu kwa chakulya chingulya, kwa chichi mundu alalatile une kwa ligongo lya chakulya chinaatogolele Akunnungu?”
31 Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Nipele, pankutenda chachilichose iŵeje kulya namuno kung'wa mwitendekanye yose kwaligongo lya ukulu wa Akunnungu.
32 Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
Nkasamwakuŵasya Ŵayahudi atamuno Ŵagiliki atamuno mpingo wa Akunnungu, wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
33 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
Mmeje mpela une, ngusaka kwanonyelesya ŵandu wose mu indu yose inguipanganya. Pakuŵa ngangulisosela kupoka kwangu nansyene, nambo ngwasosela ŵandu kupoka kuti akulupuswe.
