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;
he bhrātaraḥ, asmatpitṛpuruṣānadhi yūyaṁ yadajñātā na tiṣṭhateti mama vāñchā, te sarvve meghādhaḥsthitā babhūvuḥ sarvve samudramadhyena vavrajuḥ,
2 and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
sarvve mūsāmuddiśya meghasamudrayo rmajjitā babhūvuḥ
3 and all ate the same spiritual food;
sarvva ekam ātmikaṁ bhakṣyaṁ bubhujira ekam ātmikaṁ peyaṁ papuśca
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
yataste'nucarata ātmikād acalāt labdhaṁ toyaṁ papuḥ so'calaḥ khrīṣṭaeva|
5 However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
tathā satyapi teṣāṁ madhye'dhikeṣu lokeṣvīśvaro na santutoṣeti hetoste prantare nipātitāḥ|
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
etasmin te 'smākaṁ nidarśanasvarūpā babhūvuḥ; ataste yathā kutsitābhilāṣiṇo babhūvurasmābhistathā kutsitābhilāṣibhi rna bhavitavyaṁ|
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.”
likhitamāste, lokā bhoktuṁ pātuñcopaviviśustataḥ krīḍitumutthitā itayanena prakāreṇa teṣāṁ kaiścid yadvad devapūjā kṛtā yuṣmābhistadvat na kriyatāṁ|
8 Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
aparaṁ teṣāṁ kaiścid yadvad vyabhicāraḥ kṛtastena caikasmin dine trayoviṁśatisahasrāṇi lokā nipātitāstadvad asmābhi rvyabhicāro na karttavyaḥ|
9 Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
teṣāṁ kecid yadvat khrīṣṭaṁ parīkṣitavantastasmād bhujaṅgai rnaṣṭāśca tadvad asmābhiḥ khrīṣṭo na parīkṣitavyaḥ|
10 Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
teṣāṁ kecid yathā vākkalahaṁ kṛtavantastatkāraṇāt hantrā vināśitāśca yuṣmābhistadvad vākkalaho na kriyatāṁ|
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)
tān prati yānyetāni jaghaṭire tānyasmākaṁ nidarśanāni jagataḥ śeṣayuge varttamānānām asmākaṁ śikṣārthaṁ likhitāni ca babhūvuḥ| (aiōn g165)
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
ataeva yaḥ kaścid susthiraṁmanyaḥ sa yanna patet tatra sāvadhāno bhavatu|
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.
mānuṣikaparīkṣātiriktā kāpi parīkṣā yuṣmān nākrāmat, īśvaraśca viśvāsyaḥ so'tiśaktyāṁ parīkṣāyāṁ patanāt yuṣmān rakṣiṣyati, parīkṣā ca yad yuṣmābhiḥ soḍhuṁ śakyate tadarthaṁ tayā saha nistārasya panthānaṁ nirūpayiṣyati|
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
he priyabhrātaraḥ, devapūjāto dūram apasarata|
15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
ahaṁ yuṣmān vijñān matvā prabhāṣe mayā yat kathyate tad yuṣmābhi rvivicyatāṁ|
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?
yad dhanyavādapātram asmābhi rdhanyaṁ gadyate tat kiṁ khrīṣṭasya śoṇitasya sahabhāgitvaṁ nahi? yaśca pūpo'smābhi rbhajyate sa kiṁ khrīṣṭasya vapuṣaḥ sahabhāgitvaṁ nahi?
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.
vayaṁ bahavaḥ santo'pyekapūpasvarūpā ekavapuḥsvarūpāśca bhavāmaḥ, yato vayaṁ sarvva ekapūpasya sahabhāginaḥ|
18 Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
yūyaṁ śārīrikam isrāyelīyavaṁśaṁ nirīkṣadhvaṁ| ye balīnāṁ māṁsāni bhuñjate te kiṁ yajñavedyāḥ sahabhāgino na bhavanti?
19 What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
ityanena mayā kiṁ kathyate? devatā vāstavikī devatāyai balidānaṁ vā vāstavikaṁ kiṁ bhavet?
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.
tannahi kintu bhinnajātibhi rye balayo dīyante ta īśvarāya tannahi bhūtebhyaeva dīyante tasmād yūyaṁ yad bhūtānāṁ sahabhāgino bhavathetyahaṁ nābhilaṣāmi|
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.
prabhoḥ kaṁsena bhūtānāmapi kaṁsena pānaṁ yuṣmābhirasādhyaṁ; yūyaṁ prabho rbhojyasya bhūtānāmapi bhojyasya sahabhāgino bhavituṁ na śaknutha|
22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
vayaṁ kiṁ prabhuṁ sparddhiṣyāmahe? vayaṁ kiṁ tasmād balavantaḥ?
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.
māṁ prati sarvvaṁ karmmāpratiṣiddhaṁ kintu na sarvvaṁ hitajanakaṁ sarvvam apratiṣiddhaṁ kintu na sarvvaṁ niṣṭhājanakaṁ|
24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.
ātmahitaḥ kenāpi na ceṣṭitavyaḥ kintu sarvvaiḥ parahitaśceṣṭitavyaḥ|
25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
āpaṇe yat krayyaṁ tad yuṣmābhiḥ saṁvedasyārthaṁ kimapi na pṛṣṭvā bhujyatāṁ
26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
yataḥ pṛthivī tanmadhyasthañca sarvvaṁ parameśvarasya|
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.
aparam aviśvāsilokānāṁ kenacit nimantritā yūyaṁ yadi tatra jigamiṣatha tarhi tena yad yad upasthāpyate tad yuṣmābhiḥ saṁvedasyārthaṁ kimapi na pṛṣṭvā bhujyatāṁ|
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.”
kintu tatra yadi kaścid yuṣmān vadet bhakṣyametad devatāyāḥ prasāda iti tarhi tasya jñāpayituranurodhāt saṁvedasyārthañca tad yuṣmābhi rna bhoktavyaṁ| pṛthivī tanmadhyasthañca sarvvaṁ parameśvarasya,
29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
satyametat, kintu mayā yaḥ saṁvedo nirddiśyate sa tava nahi parasyaiva|
30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
anugrahapātreṇa mayā dhanyavādaṁ kṛtvā yad bhujyate tatkāraṇād ahaṁ kuto nindiṣye?
31 Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
tasmād bhojanaṁ pānam anyadvā karmma kurvvadbhi ryuṣmābhiḥ sarvvameveśvarasya mahimnaḥ prakāśārthaṁ kriyatāṁ|
32 Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
yihūdīyānāṁ bhinnajātīyānām īśvarasya samājasya vā vighnajanakai ryuṣmābhi rna bhavitavyaṁ|
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.
ahamapyātmahitam aceṣṭamāno bahūnāṁ paritrāṇārthaṁ teṣāṁ hitaṁ ceṣṭamānaḥ sarvvaviṣaye sarvveṣāṁ tuṣṭikaro bhavāmītyanenāhaṁ yadvat khrīṣṭasyānugāmī tadvad yūyaṁ mamānugāmino bhavata|
