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;
Tandiyandi kuti mutazibi, bakwesu, kuti bamataatesu bakali munsi ajoba alimwi bakayinda mulwiz.
2 and were all immersed into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
Boonse bakabbabbatizigwa muli Mozesi mujoba alimwi amulwizi,
3 and all ate the same spiritual food;
alimwi bonse bakalya chilyo chamuuya chikozyania.
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Messiah.
Bonse bakanywa chakunywa chamuuya chikozyania. Nkambo bakanywa kubbwe lyamuuya elyo lyakabatobela, alimwi ibbwe elyo lyakali Kkilisito.
5 However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
Pele bonse bakabotelwa abiingi babo, alimwi mitunta yabo yakalisapeene munkanda.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
Lino zintu ezi zyakali chitondezyo kuli ndiswe, kuti tutakabi abo bemuuzya zintu zibi mbuli mbubakeemuzya.
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.”
Mutabi basikukomba mituni mbuli bamwi babo mbubakabede. Echi chilobu mbuli mbukulembedwe, “Bantu bakakkala aansi kuti balye akunywa, alimwi kunyampuka kuti balisenie.”
8 Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
Tutachiti bwamu, mbuli biingi babo mbubakachita, muzuba limwi, zyuulu zyamakumi abili azitatu zyabantu bakafwa nkambo kanchicho.
9 Let’s not test Messiah, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
Tutabiki Kkilisito mukusunkwa, mbuli biingi babo mbubakachita alimwi bakanyonyoonwa anzoka.
10 Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
Alimwi mutangunguni, mbuli bingi babo mbubakachita alimwi bakanyonyoonwa amungelo walufu.
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)
Lino ezi zintu zyakachitika kuli mbabo mbuli chitondezyo kuli ndiswe. Zyakalembelwa kuti lube lulayo kulindiswe - kuli ndiswe abo mamanino achindi ngasikilide. (aiōn g165)
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
Nkambo kaako kufumbwa ani uyeeya kuti ulimvwi alangisisye kuti atabi nawa.
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.
Takwe musunko umusikila atali ayo azibinkene kubantu boonse. Pele, Leza ulisyomekede. Takaoyomuzumizya kuti mukasunkwe zyiinda munguzu anu. Kusunko uyobikka inzila yakulizwa yo, kuchitila kuti mukakonzye kulyiminina.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
Nkambo kako nobayandwa bangu, amuchije kuzwa kukukkomba mituni.
15 I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
Imebo ndiwambula kulindinywe mbuli bantu bali akumvwisisisya, abobo mulakonzya kulangisisya nzindaamba.
16 The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Messiah? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Messiah?
Ikanywido kazilongezyo ako nkitulongezya, sena takali kakwabilana mubulowa bwa Kkilisito? Chinkwa nchitukwamuna tachili chakwabilana mumubili wa Kkilisito?
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.
Nkambo kuli chinkwa chimwi, iswe nituli bingi tuli mubili umwi. Toonse tutola kuchinkwa chimwi antoomwe.
18 Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
Langa kubantu bakwa Izilayeli. Tabali abo balya zipayizyo bali achakuchita achipayililo?
19 What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
Ndokwambanzi mpo? Kuti chikozyanio nchimwi chintu? Nanka kulya kupayizigwa kuchikozyanio nchimwi chintu?
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.
Pele ndikwamba atala azintu bamaasi nzibapayila, kuti batula zintu ezi kumadimoni kutali kuli Leza. Tandiyandi kuti mube azyakuchita amadimoni!
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.
Tamukonzyi kunywa kanywido ka Mwamiakanywido kamadimoni.
22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
Naa tudyokola Leza kubuzuba? Tulamanguzu na kwinda mbwabede?
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.
“Choonse chintu chilazumizigwa,” pesi tazili zyonse zintu zigwasya. “Chonse chintu chilazumizigwa,” Pele tensi chonse chintu chiyaka bantu.
24 Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbour’s good.
Takwe muntu uyelede kuyandula chigwasya nguwe luzutu. Asi, umwi awumwi uyelede kuyandula chigwasya ngwayakilene anguwe.
25 Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
Ulakonzya kulya chonse chuzigwa kuchisambalilo kotabuzyi mibuzyo yakulilya mumizezo.
26 for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
Nkambo nyika nja Mwami alimwi abuzulilo bwayo.”
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.
Na utasyomi wakutamba kukulya chilyo, alimwikoyanda kwinka, lya kufumbwa chabikwa kunembo lyako kotabuzyi mibuzyo yakulilya mumizezo.
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.”
Pele na umwi wamba kuti kulinduwe, “Echi chatuulwa kuchipayizyo,” elyo utachilyi. Kuchitila yooyo wakwambila webo, alimwi akambo kamiyeeyo yakulilya -
29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
Amwi mabbuku achindi alamalembe achi Giliki alayungizya aya, nkambo nyika azyonse zintu zilimumo nzya Mwami. Pele mabbuku ayinda achindi amalembe achi Giliki tajisi ezi pe. Bingi basichikolo babona kuyungizya mbuli kwindulula munchali. Kulilya kwawumwi muntu, ndikwamba, alimwi chitali chako. Ino nkambonzi kulyendelela kwangu nikubetekwa akulilya kwawumwi?
30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
Na ndalya chilyo amoyo usalala, nkambonzi imebo nentukililwa echo nchindapeda kulumba?
31 Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Nkambo kako, naa walya kana kunywa, kana kufumbwa nchochita, kochita zyonse kuti kube bulemu kuli Leza.
32 Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
Utajapi mulandu kuba Juda akuba Giliki, nikuba kumbungano ya Leza.
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.
Munzila ikozyenie ndeezya kubotezya bantu boonse muzintu zyonse. Tandiyanduli zindigwasyalwangu, pele ezyo zyabiingi. Ndilachita echi kuti antela bayinofutuka.
