1 Koriniti 10

1 E kore ahau e pai, e oku teina, kia kuware koutou, i raro katoa o matou matua i te kapua, i haere katoa ano hoki ra roto i te moana;

For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and they all went across the sea.

2 I iriiria ano ratou katoa ki a Mohi i roto i te kapua, i roto hoki i te moana;

And in Moses, they all were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea.

3 A i kai ratou i te kai kotahi, he mea wairua;

And they all ate of the same spiritual food.

4 I inu hoki ratou katoa i te wai kotahi, he mea wairua; no te mea i inu ratou i ta te mea wairua, ara i ta te toka i whai nei i a ratou: a ko taua toka ra ko te Karaiti.

And they all drank of the same spiritual drink. And so, they all were drinking of the spiritual rock seeking to obtain them; and that rock was Christ.

5 Otiia kihai te Atua i ahuareka ki te nuinga o ratou; i turakina iho hoki ratou i te koraha.

But with most of them, God was not well-pleased. For they were struck down in the desert.

6 Na, hei tohu enei mea ki a tatou, kia kaua tatou e hiahia ki nga mea kino, kei pera me ratou i hiahia ra.

Now these things were done as an example for us, so that we might not desire evil things, just as they desired.

7 Kaua ano koutou e karakia ki nga whakapakoko, kei pera me etahi o ratou; kua oti ra hoki te tuhituhi, I noho te iwi ki te kai, ki te inu, a whakatika ana ki te takaro.

And so, do not take part in idolatry, as some of them did, just as it was written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and then they rose up to amuse themselves.”

8 Kaua hoki tatou e moepuku, kei pera me etahi o ratou i moepuku, a hinga ana e rua tekau ma toru nga mano i te ra kotahi.

And let us not commit fornication, as some of them fornicated, and so twenty-three thousand fell on one day.

9 Kaua hoki tatou e whakamatautau i a te Karaiti, kei pera me etahi o ratou i whakamatautau ra, a ngaro ana i te nakahi.

And let us not tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and so they perished by serpents.

10 Kaua hoki koutou e amuamu, kei pera me etahi o ratou i amuamu, a ngaro ana ratou i te kaiwhakangaro.

And you should not murmur, as some of them murmured, and so they perished by the destroyer.

11 Na, i pa enei mea ki a ratou hei tohu: kua tuhituhia nei hoki hei whakatupato i a tatou, i te hunga ka tae nei ki nga whakamutunga o te ao. (aiōn g165)

Now all of these things happened to them as an example, and so they have been written for our correction, because the final age has fallen upon us. (aiōn g165)

12 Na reira ko te tangata e mea ana e tu ana ia, kia tupato ia kei hinga.

And so, whosoever considers himself to be standing, let him be careful not to fall.

13 Kahore ano kia pono ki a koutou tetahi whakamatautau e rere ke ana i to te tangata: he pono hoki te Atua, e kore nei e tuku kia nui ake i to koutou kaha te whakamatautau mo koutou; engari tahi me te whakamatautau ka meatia e ia he putanga, kia u ake ai koutou.

Temptation should not take hold of you, except what is human. For God is faithful, and he will not permit you to be tempted beyond your ability. Instead, he will effect his Providence, even during temptation, so that you may be able to bear it.

14 Na reira, e oku hoa aroha, rere atu i te karakia whakapakoko.

Because of this, most beloved of mine, flee from the worship of idols.

15 Ko taku korero nei he mea ki te hunga mahara; whakaaroa taku e mea nei.

Since I am speaking to those who are prudent, judge what I say for yourselves.

16 Ko te kapu whakapainga e whakapai nei tatou, ehara koia i te inu tahi i nga toto o te Karaiti? Ko te taro e whatiwhatia nei e tatou, ehara ianei i te kai tahi i te tinana o te Karaiti?

The cup of benediction that we bless, is it not a communion in the Blood of Christ? And the bread that we break, is it not a participation in the Body of the Lord?

17 Ina hoki ko tatou tokomaha nei, kotahi ano taro, kotahi ano tinana; kotahi tonu nei hoki taua taro e kainga nei e tatou katoa.

Through the one bread, we, though many, are one body: all of us who are partakers of the one bread.

18 Whakaaroa a Iharaira o te kikokiko; he teka ianei ko te hunga e kai ana i nga patunga tapu, e uru tahi ana ki to te aata?

Consider Israel, according to the flesh. Are not those who eat from the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

19 Na, he pehea ra taku korero? he tikanga mea ranei te mea e patua na ma te whakapakoko? he tikanga mea ranei te whakapakoko?

What is next? Should I say that what is immolated to idols is anything? Or that the idol is anything?

20 Otira e ki ana ahau, ko nga mea e patua ana e nga tauiwi, e patua ana ma nga rewera, he teka ma te Atua: e kore hoki ahau e pai kia uru tahi koutou ko nga rewera.

But the things that the Gentiles immolate, they immolate to demons, and not to God. And I do not want you to become partakers with demons.

21 E kore koutou e ahei te inu i te kapu a te Ariki, i te kapu ano a nga rewera: e kore koutou e ahei te kai i te tepu a te Ariki, i te tepu hoki a nga rewera.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons. You cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and partakers of the table of demons.

22 E mea ana ranei tatou kia hae mai te Ariki? he kaha koia tatou i a ia?

Or should we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he is? All is lawful to me, but not all is expedient.

23 He tika nga mea katoa, otira e kore e pai katoa: he tika nga mea katoa, otira e kore e oti te waihanga e nga mea katoa.

All is lawful to me, but not all is edifying.

24 Kaua tetahi e rapu ki tana ake, engari me rapu katoa i te pai mo tera, mo tera.

Let no one seek for himself, but for others.

25 Ko nga mea katoa e hokona ana i te makete, kainga, kaua e uiui, kei he te hinengaro:

Whatever is sold in the market, you may eat, without asking questions for the sake of conscience.

26 No te Ariki hoki te whenua me ona tini mea.

“The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord.”

27 Ki te karangatia koutou e tetahi o te hunga whakaponokore, a ka pai koutou kia haere; ko nga mea katoa e whakatakotoria mai ki to koutou aroaro, kainga, kaua e uiui, kei he te hinengaro.

If you are invited by any unbelievers, and you are willing to go, you may eat whatever is set before you, without asking questions for the sake of conscience.

28 Ki te mea ia tetahi ki a koutou, I patua tenei ma te whakapakoko, kaua e kai, me whakaaro ki te kaiwhakaatu, ki te hinengaro hoki:

But if anyone says, “This has been sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience.

29 Ko te hinengaro, e ki ana ahau, ehara i tou, engari ko to tetahi; he aha toku herekoretanga kia whakakorea e tera atu hinengaro?

But I am referring to the conscience of the other person, not to yours. For why should my liberty be judged by the conscience of another?

30 Ki te mea hoki na te aroha noa ahau i kai ai, he aha ahau i korerotia kinotia ai mo te mea i whakawhetai ai ahau?

If I partake with thanksgiving, why should I be slandered over that for which I give thanks?

31 Na reira, ahakoa kai, ahakoa inu, aha ranei, meinga katoatia hei whakakororia mo te Atua.

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever else you may do, do everything for the glory of God.

32 Kei waiho koutou hei tutukitanga waewae ki nga Hurai, ki nga Kariki ranei, ki te hahi ranei a te Atua;

Be without offense toward the Jews, and toward the Gentiles, and toward the Church of God,

33 Kia penei me ahau e whakamanawareka nei i te katoa i nga mea katoa, i ahau kahore nei e rapu i te pai moku ake, engari i to te tokomaha, kia ora ai ratou.

just as I also, in all things, please everyone, not seeking what is best for myself, but what is best for many others, so that they may be saved.
