I Corinthians 10

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

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;

And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

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

And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

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

And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

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.

But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

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

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

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

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

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.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

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.

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

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

Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

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

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

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.

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

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

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

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.

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

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

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

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

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

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?

For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

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

Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

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?

What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

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

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

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.

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

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.

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

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

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

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.

Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.

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

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:

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

For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.

No te Ariki hoki te whenua me ona tini mea.

If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

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.

But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

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:

Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?

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

For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

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?

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

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

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

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

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

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.
