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 have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red Sea.
2 vat mine iwa shitin Nani nmeng nan nya musa nin kuwut a kurawa,
All were baptized in the cloud and in the sea to be followers of Moses.
3 vat mine tutung wali imonli ilau irumwe,
All ate 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 all drank the same spiritual drink; for they long drank the water that flowed from the spiritual rock that went with them--and that rock was the Christ.
5 Among mine gwardan na Kutellẹ wa lanza nman mine kan ba, unare wati abimine yita bú nan nya kushoẹ.
But with most of them God was not well pleased; for they were laid low in the Desert.
6 Nene ilẹ imone inin so nari imon yenju, bara arik wa dortu imon inanza nafo na inughe wa su.
And in this they became a warning to us, to teach us not to be eager, as they were eager, in pursuit of what is evil.
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.”
And you must not be worshippers of idols, as some of them were. For it is written, "The People sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance."
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.
Nor may we be fornicators, like some of them who committed fornication and on a single day 23,000 of them fell dead.
9 Nati wa mala Kristi ku ba, nafo na gwardan namon mine wasu iyii ini wa kifizin nani ikuzu.
And do not let us test the Lord too far, as some of them tested Him and were destroyed by the serpents.
10 Tutun na tiwasu ugwonduluba, nafo na amon mine gwardan wa su, unan kadura Kutellẹ ulẹ wa molu nani.
And do not be discontented, as some of them were, and they were destroyed 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)
All this kept happening to them with a figurative meaning; but it was put on record by way of admonition to us upon whom the ends of the Ages have come. (aiōn g165)
12 Bara nani ame ule na adin yenju ayisin Na asu sen bara awa diu.
So then let him who thinks he is standing securely beware of falling.
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.
No temptation has you in its power but such as is common to human nature; and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. But, when the temptation comes, He will also provide the way of escape; so that you may be able to bear it.
14 Bara nani nuana insu kibinayi nin, con pit kitin chil.
Therefore, my dear friends, avoid all connection with the worship of idols.
15 Ndin liru nan ghinu nafo anan kpilizu bara inan wutu kimal nimon ile na in belle.
I speak as to men of sense: judge for yourselves of 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, does it not mean a joint-participation in the blood of Christ? The loaf of bread which we break, does it not mean a joint-participation in the body of Christ?
17 Bara na likalan nfungul lirumari, arik alenge nati karin kidowo kirumari, vat bite din li likalan nfungul lirume ligowe.
Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.
18 Yenen anutin Israila nburnu: na asa ileo ujuju ulauwe, na uso limununari nin nimon ile na isu napik alaunwe ba?
Look at the Israelites--the nation and their ritual. Are not those who eat the sacrifices joint-partakers in the altar?
19 Iyaghari ndin bellu nene? Au inchil imoimonaria? Sa imon ile na ikanja kiti inchil imoimonari?
Do I mean that a thing sacrificed to an idol is what it claims to be, or that an idol is a real thing?
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!
No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship with one another through the 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.
You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons: you cannot be joint-partakers both in the table of the Lord and in the table of demons.
22 Sa timananzu Cikilare ayi asu liyarina? Akara bite katin ame?
Or are we actually arousing the Lord to jealousy. Are we stronger than He is?
23 “Imon vat inseruari” na vat nimonari di in libunba.
Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.
24 Na umon wa pizurru nman litime ba. Nani, na kogha pizuru nmang ndon lisosin me.
Let no one be for ever seeking his own good, but let each seek that of his fellow man.
25 Uwasa uleu imon ilenge na idin lessu nkasau sa utirunu.
Anything that is for sale in the meat market, eat, and ask no questions for conscience' sake;
26 “Uyẹ nin nimon ilenge na idin nan nyẹ in Kutellẹari.''
for the earth is the Lord's, and all that it contains.
27 Asa unan salin yinnun nin Kutellẹ nyichilafi ndi li nimonli, fe ta kibinayi umadu, leu imon ilenge na iceu nbunfe sa utirunu.
If an unbeliever gives you an invitation and you are disposed to accept it, eat whatever is put before you, and ask no questions 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 one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice;" abstain from eating it--out of respect for him who warned you, and, as before, for conscience' sake.
29 Ndin bellu ni kpiluzu kibinayi inlelere, a na kinfe ba. Bara iyari bati nfang kibinayi nighe umoghari kpilizai muna?
But now I mean his conscience, not your own. "Why, on what ground," you may object, "is the question of my liberty of action to be decided by a conscience not my own?
30 Nwali imonli ilele nin liburi libo bara iyaghari iliri nanzan kitene nimon ilenge na nta nlira ku?
If, so far as I am concerned, I partake with a grateful heart, why am I to be found fault with in regard to a thing 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, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done 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.
Do not be causes of stumbling either to Jews or to Gentiles, nor 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.
That is the way that I also seek in everything the approval of all men, not aiming at my own profit, but at that of the many, in the hope that they may be saved.
