1 Ukorintiyawa 10

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

For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

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

and were all baptized unto 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 a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.

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

Howbeit with 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 were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

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 ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

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.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

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

Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.

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

Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished 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 these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. (aiōn g165)

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

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

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.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure 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 ye 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 a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ?

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

seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of the one bread.

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

Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar?

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

What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

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: and I would not that ye should have communion 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.

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

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

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

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

All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify.

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

Let no man seek his own, but [each] his neighbor’s [good].

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

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake;

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

for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

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

If one of them that believe not biddeth you [to a feast], and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question 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 man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, 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 thine own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

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

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for 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 ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye 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 of stumbling, either to Jews, or to 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 also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the [profit] of the many, that they may be saved.
