1 Corinthians 10
1 Now I want to explain this to you, brothers and sisters. Our forefathers lived under the cloud, and they all passed through the sea.
ᎠᎴ, ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᎥᏝ ᎾᏂᎦᏔᎲᎾᏉ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏱᏨᏰᎵᏎᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏂᎥᏉ ᏗᎩᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎤᎶᎩᎸ ᎭᏫᏂᏗᏢ ᎤᏁᏙᎸᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎠᎺᏉᎯ ᎤᏂᎶᏒᎢ,
2 Symbolically then they were baptized “into Moses” in the cloud and in the sea.
ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᏛ ᏕᎨᎦᏬᏍᎨ ᎤᏣᎩᎸ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎺᏉᎯ ᎼᏏ ᎬᏩᎵᎪᏁᎮᎢ.
3 They all ate the same spiritual food
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᎠᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
4 and drank the same spiritual drink, for they “drank from a spiritual rock” that accompanied them. That rock was Christ.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎤᏠᏱᏉ ᎠᏗᏔᏍᏗ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᎾᏗᏔᏍᎬᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᏅᏯ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᏍᏚᎢᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏂᏍᏓᏩᏗᏙᎮᎢ, ᎾᎿᎭᎤᏄᎪᏨᎯ ᎠᎾᏗᏔᏍᎨᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏅᏯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎨᏒᎩ.
5 However, God wasn't happy with most of them, and they perished in the desert.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏟ ᎢᏯᏂᎢ ᎥᏝ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏱᏚᏰᎸᏎ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎢᎾᎨᏉᏰᏃ ᎨᏥᏛᏔᏁᎢ.
6 Now these experiences are examples to us to show us we should not desire what is evil, as they did.
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏴ ᏗᎦᏟᎶᏍᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏲ ᎢᎩᎬᎥᏍᎩ ᎢᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏧᏂᎬᎥᏍᎨᎢ.
7 You must not worship idols, as some of them did, as it's recorded in Scripture: “The people feasted and drank, and indulged in pagan worship.”
ᏞᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᏰᎸᎯ ᏗᏣᏓᏙᎵᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᎦᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏥᏄᎾᏍᏕᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎬᏅ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ, ᏴᏫ ᎤᎾᏅᏅᎩ ᏛᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᏂᏒᎩ ᎠᎴ ᏛᎾᏗᏔᎯᏒᎩ, ᏚᎾᎴᏅᎩ ᎤᎾᏁᏦᏅᎩ.
8 We must not commit sexual sins, as some of them did, and as a result 23,000 died in one day.

9 Nor should we push God to the limit, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.

10 Don't complain at God, as some did, and died at the hands of the destroying angel.

11 All the things that happened to them are examples to us and were written down to warn us, we who are living close to the end of time. (aiōn g165)
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎦᏛ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏥᏄᎾᎵᏍᏓᏁᎴ ᏗᏟᎶᏍᏙᏗ ᎠᏰᎸᏎᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᏕᎪᏪᎳ ᎠᏴ ᎢᎦᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎠᏴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏥᎩᎷᏤᎸ. (aiōn g165)
12 So if you think you're strong enough to stay standing—be careful you don't fall!
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎩᎶ ᏥᏙᎦ ᎡᎵᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎨᏯᏔᎮᏍᏗ ᏱᎦᏅᎩᏰᏃ.
13 You won't experience any greater temptation than anyone else, and God is trustworthy. He won't allow you to be tempted more than you can bear, and when you are tempted, he will provide for you a way out so you can stay strong.
ᎥᏝ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏓᎪᎵᏰᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏢᏔᎲᎯ ᏱᎩ ᎾᏂᎥᏉ ᏴᏫ ᎢᎬᏩᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎤᏩᏒ; ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏄᏓᎵᏓᏍᏛᎾ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᏝ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᏴᎨᏤᎵᏏ ᎠᏓᎪᎵᏰᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᎷᏤᏗᏱ ᏕᏣᎵᏂᎬᎬ ᎤᎶᏒᏍᏙᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏓᎪᎵᏰᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᎷᏤᎲ ᏔᎵ ᎾᏛᏕᏍᏗ ᎾᎿᎭᎦᏰᏣᏗᏫᏎᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏰᎵ ᎨᏣᏓᎵᏁᎯᏗᏍᏗ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ.
14 So my good friends, stay away from idol worship.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᏂᎯ ᎢᏨᎨᏳᎢ, ᎢᏣᎵᏘ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏏ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᏰᎸᎯ ᏗᏓᏙᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
15 I'm talking to sensible people, so you decide whether I'm telling the truth.
ᏥᏁᎦ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎾᎢ ᏥᎦᏥᏁᏤᎰ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ; ᎢᏥᎪᎵᏯ ᏂᏥᏪᏍᎬᎢ.
16 When we give thanks for the cup we use in the Lord's Supper, don't we share in the blood of Christ? When we break the communion bread, don't we share in the body of Christ?
ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎦᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᎤᎵᏍᏈᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏗᎸᏉᏗᏍᎪᎢ, ᏝᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏓᎵᎪᎲᏍᎬ ᏱᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᎩᎬ ᎢᏓᏗᏔᏍᎬᎢ? ᎦᏚ ᏥᏗᎬᎭᎷᏯᏍᎪᎢ, ᏝᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏓᎵᎪᎲᏍᎬ ᏱᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᏰᎸ ᎢᏓᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏍᎬᎢ?
17 By eating from one loaf of bread, we show that even though we are many, we are one body.
ᎠᏴᏰᏃ ᎢᎩᏣᏘ ᏥᎩ, ᏌᏉᏉ ᎦᏚ, ᎠᎴ ᏌᏉᏉ ᎠᏰᎸᎢ; ᏂᏗᎥᏰᏃ ᎢᎦᏖᏆᎶᏐ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏌᏉ ᎦᏚ ᎢᏓᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏍᎬᎢ.
18 Look at the people of Israel. Don't those who eat the sacrifices made on the altar share together?
ᏗᏣᎧᏅᎦ ᎢᏏᎵ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏇᏓᎵᏉ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᏝᏍᎪ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏗᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᏣᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏍᎪ ᎤᏁᎳᏗᏍᏗᏍᎩ ᏱᎨᏐ ᎠᏥᎸ ᎨᎳᏍᏗᏱ ᎠᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ?
19 What am I saying then? That anything sacrificed to idols means anything, or that an idol has any real existence? Of course not!
ᎦᏙᏃ ᎦᏗᎭ? ᏥᎪ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏰᎸᎯ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎦᏗᎭ? ᏥᎪᎨ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎠᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᏥᎸ ᎨᎳᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏰᎸᎯ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ, ᎦᏗᎭ?
20 The pagans are sacrificing to demons, and not to God. I don't want you to have anything to do with demons!
ᎯᎠᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᏥᏪᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏧᎾᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏴᏫ ᎠᏥᎸ ᎨᎳᏍᏙᏗ ᏣᎾᎵᏍᎪᎸᏗᏍᎪᎢ, ᎠᏂᏍᎩᎾ ᏓᎾᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏁᎰᎢ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ; ᎥᏝᏃ ᏯᏆᏚᎵᎭ ᎠᏂᏍᎩᎾ ᎤᎾᏤᎵ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏤᎳᏗᏍᏙᏗᏱ.
21 You can't drink the Lord's cup as well as the cup of demons; you can't eat from the Lord's table as well as the table of demons.

22 Are we trying to make the Lord jealous? Are we stronger than he is?
ᎡᏗᎿᎭᎸᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗᏍᎪ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ? ᎤᏟᏍᎪ ᏂᏕᎦᎵᏂᎬᎦ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ?
23 Some say, “I'm free to do anything”—but not everything is appropriate! “I'm free to do anything”—but not everything is constructive!
ᏄᏓᎴᏒᏉ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᎥᏇᎵᏎᎸᎯ ᎠᏆᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏱ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏯᏓᏛᏁᎯ ᏱᎩ; ᏄᏓᎴᏒᏉ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᎥᏇᎵᏎᎸᎯ ᎠᏆᎵᏍᏓᏴᏙᏗᏱ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎬᏩᏓᏍᏕᎸᏗ ᏱᎩ.
24 You shouldn't look out for yourself, but for your neighbor.
ᏞᏍᏗ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏩᏒᏉ ᎤᏤᎵ ᏳᏲᎮᏍᏗ, ᏅᏩᏓᎴᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎤᏲᎮᏍᏗ.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the market without asking questions because of your conscience,

26 for “the earth and everything in it belong to God.”
ᎡᎶᎯᏰᏃ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏣᎧᎵᎢᎭ.
27 If a non-Christian invites you to a meal, and you feel like going, eat whatever you are served, without asking questions because of your conscience.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᏄᏃᎯᏳᏒᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎨᏣᏯᏂᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᏣᏚᎵᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎢᏤᏅᏍᏗᏱ; ᏄᏍᏛᏉ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᎬᏱᏗᏢ ᎡᏥᏝᏁᎲ ᎢᏣᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᏞᏍᏗ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏱᏣᏛᏛᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎠᏓᏅᏙᎩ ᎨᏒ ᏱᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ.
28 But if someone tells you, “This food has been sacrificed to idols,” don't eat it for the sake of the one who mentioned it and for conscience' sake.
ᎢᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎩᎶ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏥᏪᏎᎮᏍᏗ, ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᎠᏥᎸ ᏗᎨᎴᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᏰᎸᎯ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏥᎩᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᎾᏄᎪᏫᏒᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏓᏅᏙᎩ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ; ᎡᎶᎯᏰᏃ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏣᎧᎵᎢᎭ.
29 His conscience I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else's conscience?

30 If I choose to eat with thankfulness, why should I be criticized for eating what I'm thankful to God for?

31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, make sure to do everything to the glory of God.

32 Don't cause offense, whether it's to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—

33 just as I try to please everybody in all I do. I don't think of what benefits me, but what benefits others, so that they may be saved.
