1 Corinthians 10
1 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, migaŋlɔ nu siwo dzɔ ɖe mía tɔgbuitɔgbuiwo dzi le gbedadaƒo le blema la be o. Mawu na lilikpo nɔ ŋgɔ na wo, eye wòkplɔ wo va to Ƒu Dzĩ la me dedie.
2 and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea;
Nuwɔna sia zu mawutsideta na wo kple Mose ɖe Ƒu la me.
3 and all the same spiritual food did eat,
Wo katã woɖu gbɔgbɔmenuɖuɖu ma ke,
4 and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
eye wono gbɔgbɔmenunono ma ke, elabena wonoe tso gbɔgbɔmekpe gbadza si zɔ kpli wo le gbea dzi, eye kpe gbadza siae nye Kristo.
5 but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
Gake le esiawo katã megbe la, wo dometɔ geɖewo sẽ to eye womewɔ Mawu ƒe gbe dzi o. Ale Mawu tsrɔ̃ wo eye woƒe ŋutilã kukuawo kaka ɖe gbea dzi.
6 and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.
Ele be míasrɔ̃ nu tso esia me be míawo hã míagatsi nu vɔ̃ɖiwo yome abe mía tɔgbuiwo ene eye míagasubɔ legbawo abe ale si wowɔ ene o.
7 Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, 'The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;'
Migazu trɔ̃subɔlawo hã abe wo dometɔ aɖewo ene o, abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖe Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la me be, “Wonɔ anyi ɖu nu eye wono nu nyuie eye wotsi tsitre, emegbe la, woɖu ɣe.”
8 neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
Nu bubu si wòle be míagasrɔ̃ tso nu siwo dzɔ ɖe wo dzi me lae nye be esi wo dometɔ aɖewo wɔ ahasi ta la, ame akpe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ sɔŋ ku le wo dome le ŋkeke ɖeka ko dzi.
9 neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish;
Nɔviwo, miawo hã migaɖia Kristo nu abe ale si wowɔ eye da ɖu wo dometɔ geɖewo woku ene o.
10 neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.
Le esi wolĩ liʋĩliʋĩ ɖe Mawu ŋu ta la, Mawu ɖo mawudɔla aɖe ɖa wòva tsrɔ̃ wo dometɔ geɖewo hã.
11 And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come, (aiōn g165)
Nu siawo katã dzɔ ɖe wo dzi be wòanye kpɔɖeŋu kple nusɔsrɔ̃ na mí, ale be míawo hã míagawɔ nu siawo ƒomevi o. Woŋlɔ wo da ɖi na mí be míaxlẽ, ale be míasrɔ̃ nu tso eme le ɣeyiɣi siawo me esi xexea me ƒe nuwuwu tu aƒe. (aiōn g165)
12 so that he who is thinking to stand — let him observe, lest he fall.
Eya ta ame siwo buna be nu siawo mate ŋu adzɔ ɖe yewo dzi o la nakpɔ nyuie be womagadze tetekpɔ me o.
13 No temptation hath taken you — except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].
Miɖo ŋku edzi be susu vɔ̃ɖi siwo vaa miaƒe ta me edziedzi la, vaa ame sia ame ƒe ta me nenema ke, menye miawoe nye ame gbãtɔ siwo le nu siawo me tom o. Minya be ame geɖewo to eme va yi. Minyae hã be tetekpɔ aɖeke mesesẽ wu amegbetɔ ƒe tsɔtsɔ o. Miate ŋu aɖo ŋu ɖe Mawu ŋu be ana ŋusẽ mi be miaɖu tetekpɔ dzi, elabena eya ŋutɔ do ŋugbe na mi, eye Mawu ya megbea eƒe ŋugbedodowo dzi wɔwɔ gbeɖe o. Afia afɔɖoƒe mi be miate ŋu ato ɖe sia ɖe me le dzigbɔɖi blibo me.
14 Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;
Eya ta nɔvi lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, mite ɖa le trɔ̃subɔsubɔ gbɔ.
15 as to wise men I speak — judge ye what I say:
Menya be nunyalawo mienye eya ta mibu nya si gblɔ ge mala na mi ŋuti kpɔ.
16 The cup of the blessing that we bless — is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break — is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?
Ne míele Aƒetɔ la ƒe Nuɖuɖu Kɔkɔe ɖum la, mí katã míedoa gbe ɖa eye míenoa nu le kplu ɖeka nu. Ɖe esia mefia be mí katã míele yayra ɖeka xɔm tso Kristo ƒe ʋu me oa? Azɔ ne míeka abolo ɖeka me heɖu la, esia hã fia be mí katã míekpɔ viɖe tɔxɛ tso Kristo ƒe ŋutilã me oa?
17 because one bread, one body, are we the many — for we all of the one bread do partake.
Ne míesɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe hã la, abolo ɖeka ma ko míemana ɖuna. Esia ɖo kpe edzi na mí be mí katã míenye Kristo ƒe ŋutilã ɖeka ma ƒe akpa aɖe.
18 See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?
Nenema ke le Israelviwo dome hã la, ame siwo katã ɖua vɔsalẽvi la ƒe ɖe la zua ame ɖeka.
19 what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? —
Ame aɖe abia be, ɖe mele gbɔgblɔm be legba siwo trɔ̃subɔlawo saa vɔ na la nye Mawu gbagbewo, eye woƒe vɔsawo hã nye nu xɔasiwo mahã? Gbeɖe! Mele nenema kura o.
20 [no, ] but that the things that the nations sacrifice — they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.
Nu si gblɔm mele boŋ lae nye be ame siwo ɖa nu na legbawo la wɔ ɖeka le gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo subɔm, menye Mawu subɔm wole kura o. Azɔ nyemedi be miade ha kple gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo to trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsanu siawo ɖuɖu me o.
21 Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons;
Miate ŋu ano nu le Aƒetɔ la ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu vɔ agatrɔ aɖanoe le gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ hã ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu o; nenema ke miate ŋu aɖu abolo le Aƒetɔ la ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu vɔ agaɖui le Abosam hã gbɔ o.
22 do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?
Nu ka? Ɖe miedi be yewoado dɔmedzoe na Aƒetɔa? Ɖe miebu be miesesẽ wuia?
23 All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;
Ne ame aɖe di be yeaɖu trɔ̃wo ƒe vɔsanuɖuɖu la, ate ŋu aɖui faa, meda Mawu ƒe se aɖeke dzi o, gake menye eya ta ame naɖu nu sia o. Togbɔ be se aɖeke mexe mɔ nɛ o hã la, ɖewohĩ nuwɔna sia medze tututu be wòawɔ o.
24 let no one seek his own — but each another's.
Miganye ɖokuitɔdilawo o, ke boŋ mibu mia nɔewo ŋu le miaƒe wɔnawo me.
25 Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience,
Azɔ ne mieyi asi me la, miƒle lã ɖe sia ɖe si dzram wole, eye migabia be afi ka lãa tso hã o. Ne menye nenema o la, ɖewohĩ ŋuɖoɖo la aɖe fu na miaƒe dzitsinya.
26 for the Lord's [is] the earth, and its fulness;
Minyae be xexea me katã kple emenu nyuiwo katã nye Aƒetɔ la tɔ eye wòtsɔ wo na mi be miawɔ wo ŋu dɔ le dzidzɔ me.
27 and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;
Ne dzimaxɔsetɔ kpe mi kristotɔwo be miva ɖu nu kple ye eye wòdzro mi be miayi la, miate ŋu ayi faa. Nuɖuɖu ɖe sia ɖe si wòtsɔ ɖo mia kɔme la, miɖui eye migabia be, nu ka woɖa hã o. Mizi kpi eye miaɖu nua ekema trɔ̃wo ƒe vɔsanuɖuɖunya mava eme si aɖe fu na miaƒe dzitsinya o.
28 and if any one may say to you, 'This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' — do not eat, because of that one who shewed [it], and of the conscience, for the Lord's [is] the earth and its fulness:
Gake ne miebe yewoaɖu nua ko, ame aɖe gblɔ be wotsɔ nuɖuɖu la sa vɔ na trɔ̃wo gbã hafi tsɔ na mi la, ekema migaɖui o, ɖe nu si ame si gblɔ nya sia na mi la abu tso nu si mieɖu la ŋuti ta.
29 and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another's conscience?
Le nya sia me la, edze be miabu nu si ame sia gblɔ tso nuɖuɖu la ŋuti ŋu vevie. Eye miabia be, nu ka ta wòle be ame bubu ƒe dzitsinya nawɔ mi kluviwoe le nu si mienya be enyo la ŋuti?
30 and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
Ne màte ŋu ada akpe na Mawu ɖe nuɖuɖu la ta ko aɖui la, nu ka ta wòle be mana ame bubu nagblẽ nu siawo katã me, elabena eya bu be meda vo?
31 Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;
Nu si ta megblɔ esia ɖo lae nye be ele be miawɔ nu sia nu na Mawu ƒe kafukafu, le miaƒe nuɖuɖu kple nunono gɔ̃ hã me.
32 become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;
Eya ta miganye mɔxenu na ame aɖeke o, eɖanye Yudatɔwo, Grikitɔwo alo Mawu ƒe hame la o.
33 as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many — that they may be saved.
Nu si nye ya mewɔna lae nye be medzea agbagba be madze ame sia ame ŋu le nu sia nu me. Menye be malé nu si doa dzidzɔ na nye ŋutɔ ɖeɖe ko me ɖe asi o. Ke boŋ mewɔa nu si nyo na ame bubuwo hã be mate ŋu aɖe wo.
