1 Korint 10
1 Frè m' yo, mwen vle fè nou chonje sa ki te rive zansèt nou yo lè yo t'ap swiv Moyiz. Yo tout te anba pwoteksyon nwaj la, yo tout te pase nan mitan Lanmè Wouj la.
I want you to bear in mind, friends, that all our ancestors were beneath the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 Antan yo te nan nwaj la ak nan lanmè a ansanm ak Moyiz, yo tout te resevwa yon batèm.
that in the cloud and in the sea they all underwent baptism as followers of Moses;
3 Yo tout te manje menm manje Lespri Bondye te ba yo a.
and that they all ate the same supernatural food,
4 Yo tout te bwè menm bwason Lespri Bondye te ba yo a. Se konsa yo t'ap bwè dlo ki t'ap soti nan gwo wòch Lespri Bondye te ba yo epi ki t'ap mache ansanm ak yo a: Wòch sa a, se te Kris la menm.
and all drank the same supernatural water, for they used to drink from a supernatural rock which followed them, and that rock was the Christ.
5 Atousa, anpil ladan yo pa t' fè Bondye plezi. Se poutèt sa yo tonbe, yo mouri nan dezè a.
Yet with most of them God was displeased; for they were struck down in the desert.
6 Tout bagay sa yo rive pou sa sèvi nou leson pou nou pa kite move lanvi kaye nan kè nou tankou yo te genyen l' lan.
Now these things happened as warnings to us, to teach us not to long for evil things as our ancestors longed.
7 Piga nou sèvi zidòl tankou kèk ladan yo te fè l', jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Pèp la chita, yo manje, yo bwè. Lèfini, yo leve pran plezi yo.
Do not become idolaters, as some of them became. Scripture says – “The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance.”
8 Pa lage kò nou nan dezòd lachè tankou kèk ladan yo te fè li. Lè sa a, venntwamil (23.000) tonbe, yo mouri yon sèl jou.
Nor let us act immorally, as some of them acted, with the result that twenty-three thousand of them fell dead in a single day.
9 Piga nou seye fè plan ak Bondye tankou kèk ladan yo te fè li. Sa lakòz sèpan te mòde yo, yo tout yo mouri.
Nor let us try the patience of the Lord too far, as some of them tried it, with the result that they were, one after another, destroyed by snakes.
10 Pa bougonnen tankou kèk ladan yo te bougonnen. Lè sa a, zanj lanmò a te touye yo tout.
And do not murmur, as some of them murmured, and so were destroyed by the angel of death.
11 Tout bagay sa yo rive pou sa sèvi lòt yo egzanp. Yo ekri yo nan Liv la pou sa sèvi nou avètisman. Paske, pou nou menm k'ap viv koulye a, pa rete lontan ankò anvan pou lafen an rive. (aiōn g165)
These things happened to them by way of warning, and were recorded to serve as a caution to us, in whose days the close of the ages has come. (aiōn g165)
12 Se sak fè, moun ki kwè li byen kanpe a, pito li veye kò l' pou l' pa tonbe.
Therefore let the person who thinks that they stand take care that they do not fall.
13 Tout tantasyon nou jwenn sou chemen nou, se menm kalite tantasyon tout moun jwenn sou chemen yo tou. Men, Bondye li menm toujou kenbe pawòl li: li p'ap kite yo tante nou yon jan ki depase sa nou ka sipòte. Men, lè nou va anba tantasyon an, la ban nou fòs pou nou ka sipòte l', pou nou ka soti anba li.
No temptation has come upon you that is not common to all humanity. God will not fail you, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength; but, when he sends the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, so that you may have strength to endure.
14 Se poutèt sa, zanmi m' yo, pa mele nan sèvis zidòl yo.
Therefore, my dear friends, shun the worship of idols.
15 M'ap pale ak nou tankou ak moun ki gen bon konprann: jije nou menm sa m'ap di a.
I speak to you as man of discernment; form your own judgment about what I am saying.
16 Gode benediksyon n'ap bwè a, lè nou fin di Bondye mèsi pou li, èske se pa san Kris la n'ap separe bay tout moun? Pen nou kase a, lè n'ap manje l', èske se pa kò Kris la n'ap separe bay tout moun?
In the cup of blessing which we bless, is not there a sharing in the blood of the Christ? And in the bread which we break, is not there a sharing in the body of the Christ?
17 Se yon sèl pen ki genyen, pa vre? Nou menm tou, nou te mèt anpil, nou fè yon sèl kò, paske se yon sèl pen an nou separe bay tout moun.
The bread is one, and we, though many, are one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
18 Ann konsidere jan sa fèt kay moun ras Izrayèl yo: moun ki manje vyann bèt ki te ofri pou touye pou Bondye sou lòtèl la, li vin an komenyon ak Bondye ki mèt lòtèl la.
Look at the people of Israel. Do not those who eat the sacrifices share with the altar?
19 Kisa m' vle di la a? Gen lè zidòl y'ap sèvi a, osinon vyann bèt yo ofri pou touye ba li a gen yon valè?
What do I mean? That an offering made to an idol, or the idol itself, is anything?
20 Non! Men sa m' vle di: ofrann bèt moun lòt nasyon yo ap fè a, se pa pou Bondye, se pou denmon yo fè li. Mwen pa ta vle nou vin an komenyon ak denmon yo.
No; what I say is that the sacrifices offered by the Gentiles are offered to demons and to a being who is no God, and I do not want you to share with demons.
21 Nou pa kapab ap bwè nan gode Seyè a anmenmtan pou n'ap bwè nan gode denmon yo tou. Nou pa kapab ap manje sou menm tab avèk Seyè a anmenmtan pou n'ap manje sou menm tab ak denmon yo.
You cannot drink both the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons.
22 Osinon, èske nou vle fè Seyè a fè jalouzi? Eske nou kwè nou gen plis fòs pase li?
Or are we to rouse the jealousy of the Lord? Are we stronger than he?
23 Nou gen dwa fè nenpòt bagay. Se sa yo di, epi se vre. Men, tout bagay pa bon pou fèt. Nou gen dwa fè tout bagay, men se pa tout bagay k'ap fè nou grandi nan konfyans nan Bondye.
Everything is allowable! Yes, but everything is not profitable. Everything is allowable! Yes, but everything does not build up character.
24 Piga pesonn chache sa ki bon pou tèt pa l' ase. Se pou l' chache enterè lòt yo tou.
A person must not study their own interests, but the interests of others.
25 Nou lib manje tou sa yo vann nan mache vyann san nou pa bezwen mande anyen. Konsa, konsyans nou p'ap twouble.
Eat anything that is sold in the market, without making inquiries to satisfy your scruples;
26 Paske, jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Se pou Mèt la tè a ye ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l'.
for the earth, with all that is in it, belongs to the Lord.
27 Si yon moun ki pa gen konfyans nan Kris la envite nou nan yon fèt, si nou asepte ale, se pou n' manje tou sa yo mete devan nou, san nou pa bezwen mande anyen. Konsa, konsyans pesonn p'ap twouble.
If an unbeliever invites you to his house and you consent to go, eat anything that is put before you, without making inquiries to satisfy your scruples.
28 Men, si yon moun di nou vyann sa a se vyann bèt yo te ofri bay zidòl, lè sa a, pa goute l' poutèt moun ki fè ou remak la, pou konsyans pesonn pa boulvèse.
But, if anyone should say to you “This has been offered in sacrifice to an idol,” then, for the sake of the speaker and his scruples, do not eat it.
29 Mwen pa di sa pou konsyans pa nou non, men pou konsyans lòt moun lan. Men, yon moun va mande m': Ki jan konsyans yon lòt moun ka sèvi m' antrav nan sa m' gen dwa fè?
I do not say your scruples, but his. For why should the freedom that I claim be condemned by the scruples of another?
30 Si mwen di Bondye mèsi pou sa m'ap manje a, ki jan pou yo ta ka pale m' mal pou yon manje konsa?
If, for my part, I take the food thankfully, why should I be abused for eating that for which I give thanks?
31 Se sak fè, kit n'ap manje, kit n'ap bwè, nenpòt kisa n'ap fè, fè l' pou sa sèvi yon lwanj pou Bondye.
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do everything to the honour of God.
32 Se pou nou viv yon jan pou nou pa bay ni jwif yo, ni moun ki pa jwif yo, ni legliz Bondye a okazyon tonbe nan peche.
Do not cause offence either to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God;
33 Se pou nou fè tankou m': nan tou sa m'ap fè, m'ap fè mwayen posib pou m' fè tout moun plezi; mwen p'ap chache avantaj pa m', men avantaj tout moun, pou tout moun ka sove.
for I, also, try to please everybody in everything, not seeking my own advantage, but do what is best for others, so that they may be saved.
