1 Abhakorintho 10

1 Bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu enenda mumenye jinu kutya, bhalata bheswe bhaliga bhali emwalo ye elile na bhona nibhalabha munyanja.

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

2 Nibhabhatijibhwa bhabhe bha Musa munda ye elile na munda ya inyanja,

and were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

3 ka bhona bhaliye ebhilyo bhiliya ebhyo omwoyo.

and all ate the same spiritual food,

4 Ka bhona bhanyweye amanji galiya ago omwoyo. Kulwokubha bhanyweye okusoka kwitale elyo omwoyo linu lyabhalubhaga, na litale elyo lyaliga lili Kristo.

and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual rock that accompanied them; and the rock was Christ;

5 Nawe Nyamuanga atakondelesibhwe nabhafu, ne emitumbi jebhwe jalalile ibhara.

but with most of them God was not well pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness.

6 Mbe ago gona galiga gali bhijejekanyo kwiswe, koleleki eswe chasiga kubha bhanu bha inamba yokwenda amabhibhi lwakutyo abhene bhakolele.

Now these things were warnings for us, in order that we should not lust after evil things, as they lusted.

7 Mwasiga okulamya ebhisusano, lwa kutyo abhandi bhaliga bhali. Jinu jili lwakutyo jandikilwe, “Abhanu bheyanjile ansi nibhalya no okunywa, nibhemelegulu okubhina na inamba yo obhusiani.”

And do not ye become idolaters, as some of them did; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport.”

8 Chitakola obhusiani lwa abhandi kutyo bhakolele. Lunaku lumwi abhanu bhiumbi makumi gabhili na bhasatu nibhafwa kulwa injuno eyo.

Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them did, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Chasiga okumusaka Kristo, lwa abhandi kutyo bhakolele nibhanyamulwa na jinjoka.

Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and were destroyed by the serpents.

10 Ka ona mwasiga okulukuma, lwakutyo abhandi ona bhalukumile nibhanyamulwa na malaika wo olufu.

And do not ye murmur, as some of them murmured, and perished by the Destroyer.

11 Mbe amagambo lwago gakolekene lwe ebhijejekanyo kwiswe. Nigandikwa koleleki gachionye - bhanu chakingiwe na jinsiku jobhutelo. (aiōn g165)

Now these things happened to them as warnings, and were recorded for our admonition, to whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)

12 Kulwejo bhuli munu unu kelola ati emeleguyu emenye asiga kugwa.

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

13 Litaliwo esakwa linu lyabhabhwene lili egenyi ku bhana bhanu. Nawe Nyamuanga nimulengelesi. Atabhasiga mukasakwa okutambuka indengo yemwe. Amwi na lisakwa elyo, omwene alibholesha omulyango gwo okutulamo, koleleki mubhone okwikomesha.

No temptation hath come upon you, but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to endure, but will with the temptation furnish also the way to escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

14 Kulwejo, bhendwa bhani, mulibhilime lilamya lye ebhisusano.

Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

15 Enaika nemwe lwa abhanu bho obhwenge, koleleki mulamule ingulu ya linu enaika.

I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say.

16 Echikombe cha libhando chinu echibheleleka, bhutali ubhwikofyanya bhwa amanyinga ga Kristo? Omukate guliya echibhegaga, bhutali obhumwi bhwo omubhili gwa Kristo?

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? the loaf which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ?

17 Kulwokubha omukate ni gumwi, eswe abhafu chili mubhili gumwi. Eswe bhona echilamila mukate gumwi chili amwi.

For we, the many, are one loaf, one body; for we all share in that one loaf.

18 Mulole abhanu bha Israeli: Enibhusha, bhanu bhona abhalya echitambo bhatali amwi kubhigabhilo?

Look at Israel by natural descent. Have not those who eat of the sacrifices, communion with the altar?

19 Mbe enaika chinuki? Ati echisusano ni chinu chinu chikobhele? Amo ebhilyo bhinu bhisosibhwe kubhisusano ni chinu chinu chikobhele?

What do I say then? That what is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? Or that an idol is anything?

20 Nawe enaikilila ingulu ye ebhinu bhinu abhasosha Abhanyamaanga bhili bhiyanwa, lwakutyo abhasosha ebhinu ebhyo kumasambwa ntikwo mu Nyamuanga. Anye nitakwenda emwe mugwatane na amasambwa!

Nay, but that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should have communion with demons.

21 Mutakutula okunywela echikombe cho Omukama necha amasambwa. Mutakutula okubha no obhumwi kumeja yo Omukama na kumeja ya amasambwa.

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons; ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and the table of demons.

22 Ati chitamuyana Omukama libhubha? Echimukila amanaga?

Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

23 “Ebhinu bhyona ebhikilisibhwa,” nawe bhitakondele bhyona. “Ebhinu bhyona ebhikilisibhwa,” nawe bring bhyona bhinu ebhyumbaka abhanu.

All things are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful, but all things are not edifying.

24 Atalio nolwo na umwi unu akalondele amakonde gaye enyele. Okusiga ago, bhuli munu akalondele amakonde agowejabho.

Let no one seek his own pleasure, but the good of others.

25 Omutula okulya bhuli chinu chinu echigusibhwa musokoni obhutabhusha-bhusha kwa injuno yo omwoyo.

Whatever is sold in the market that eat, without asking questions for the sake of conscience;

26 Kwo kubha, “echalo ni mali yo Omukama na bhyona bhinu bhilimo.”

for “the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.”

27 Unu atalimwikilisha akabhakoka kwilya, na mukenda okugenda, mulye chona chona echo kabhayana, mutabhusha amabhusho ago omwoyo.

And if one who is an unbeliever inviteth you to a feast, and ye choose to go, eat whatever is set before you, without asking any questions for the sake of conscience.

28 Nawe omunu akabhabhwila ati, “ebhilyo bhinu bhisokene me ebhiyanwa bhya abhapagani,” mutalya. Okubha jinu ejisasa unu abhabhwila kutyo, na kulwa injuno yo omwoyo gwaye.

But if any one say to you, This hath been offered in sacrifice to an idol, do not eat of it, on account of him that showed you this, and from a regard to conscience;

29 Anye nitakwaikilila emyoyo jemwe, tali omwoyo gwo oundi uliya. Kulwokubha kubhaki obhwanya bhulamulwe no omwoyo gwo omunu undi?

conscience I mean, not thine own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty to be judged by another conscience [[than my own]]?

30 Labha anye enilya nokusima, kubhaki nifumilwe echinu chinu namalile okuchisima?

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I to be evil spoken of in a matter for which I give thanks?

31 Kulwejo, chonachona chinu omulya amo okunywa, amo chonachona chinu omukola, mukole gona kulwa injuno ya likusho lya Nyamuanga.

Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

32 Mutaja okuyabhisha Abhayaudi amo Abhayunani, amo likanisa lya Nyamuanga.

Give no occasion of stumbling either to Jews or Greeks, or to the church of God;

33 Mulegeje lwakutyo anye enilegeja okukondelesha abhanu bhona ku magambo gona. Nitakulonda okwiyendeja anye omwene, tali enendeja abhafu. Enikola ejo kutyo koleleki bhabhone okuchunguka.

as I also strive to please all in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many; that they may be saved.
