I Corinthians 10

Fa tsy tiako tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa ny razantsika rehetra dia tambanin'ny rahona, ary izy rehetra namaky ny ranomasina,

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;

ary izy rehetra dia natao batisa ho amin'i Mosesy tao amin'ny rahona sy ny ranomasina,

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

ary izy rehetra nihinana ny fihinam-panahy iray ihany,

And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

ary izy rehetra nisotro ny fisotrom-panahy iray ihany; fa nisotro tamin'ny vatolampy fanahy izay nanaraka azy izy, ary Kristy izany vatolampy izany.

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

Nefa ny ankabiazany dia tsy sitrak'Andriamanitra, fa naringana tany an-efitra.

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

Ary izany zavatra izany dia tonga anatra ho antsika, mba tsy ho mpila zava-dratsy isika toy ny nilan'ireny.

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

Ary aoka tsy ho mpanompo sampy ianareo tahaka ny sasany amin'ireny, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ny olona nipetraka hihinana sy hisotro, dia nitsangana hilalao (Eks. 32. 6).

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.

Ary aoka tsy hijangajanga isika tahaka ny sasany tamin'ireny, ka telo arivo amby roa alina no ringana indray andro.

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

Ary aoka tsy haka fanahy ny Tompo isika, tahaka ny nakan'ny sasany tamin'ireny fanahy Azy, ka matin'ny menarana ireny.

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

Ary aoka tsy himonomonona ianareo tahaka ny sasany tamin'ireny, izay matin'ny mpandringana.

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

Ary izany dia nanjo azy mba ho anatra, sady voasoratra izany ho fananarana antsika izay niharan'ny faran'izao tontolo izao.

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.

Koa izay manao azy fa efa mijoro tsara, dia aoka izy hitandrina, fandrao ho lavo.

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

Tsy misy fakam-panahy nahazo anareo afa-tsy izay zakan'ny olombelona; nefa mahatoky Andriamanitra ka tsy hamela anareo halaim-panahy mihoatra noho izay zakanareo; fa momba ny fakam-panahy dia hasiany lalana hahafahanareo koa mba hahazakanareo izany.

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.

Koa amin'izany, ry malala, mandosira ny fanompoan-tsampy.

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

Miteny toy ny amin'ny olo-manan-tsaina aho; heveronareo izay lazaiko.

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

Ny kapoaky ny fisaorana izay isaorantsika, tsy firaisana amin'ny ran'i Kristy va izany? Ny mofo izay vakintsika, tsy firaisana amin'ny tenan'i Kristy va izany?

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?

Satria iray ihany ny mofo, dia tena iray ihany isika na dia maro aza; fa isika rehetra dia samy mandray amin'izany mofo iray izany avokoa.

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

Indreo ny Isiraely araka ny nofo; moa izay mihinana ny fanatitra tsy mpiombona amin'ny alitara va?

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

Inona ary no holazaiko? Mety ho zavatra va ny hena aterina amin'ny sampy, na mety ho zavatra va ny sampy?

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

Tsia, fa izay zavatra aterin'ny jentilisa ho fanatitra, dia ateriny amin'ny demonia, fa tsy amin'Andriamanitra (Deo. 32. 17); koa tsy tiako ho mpiombona amin'ny demonia ianareo.

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.

Tsy mahazo misotro amin'ny kapoaky ny Tompo sy ny kapoaky ny demonia ianareo; tsy mahazo mihinana amin'ny latabatry ny Tompo sy ny latabatry ny demonia ianareo.

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.

Mampahasaro-piaro ny Tompo va isika? Mahery noho Izy va isika?

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

Ny zavatra rehetra azo atao, nefa tsy ny zavatra rehetra no mahasoa; ny zavatra rehetra azo atao, nefa tsy ny zavatra rehetra no mampandroso.

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

Aoka tsy hisy olona hitady ny hahasoa ny tenany, fa ny hahasoa ny namany.

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

Izay hena rehetra amidy eny an-tsena dia hano, fa aza manontany akory noho ny fieritreretana;

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

fa an'i Jehovah ny tany sy izay rehetra eo aminy (Sal. 24. 1).

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

Ary raha misy amin'ny tsy mino manasa anareo, ka ta-handeha ianareo, dia hano izay arosony eo anoloanareo, fa aza manontany akory noho ny fieritreretana.

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.

Fa raha misy manao aminareo hoe: Hena naterina tamin'ny sampy io, dia aza homana noho ny amin'ilay nilaza sy ny fieritreretana.

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:

Fieritreretana, hoy izaho, tsy ny an'ny tenanano, fa ny an'ny olon-kafa; fa nahoana ny fahafahako no dia tsarain'ny fieritreretan'ny olon-kafa?

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

Fa raha amin'ny fisaorana no andraisako izany, nahoana aho no tenenina ratsy amin'izay anaovako fisaorana?

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

Koa amin'izany, na mihinana na misotro ianareo, na inona na inona ataonareo, dia ataovy ho voninahitr'Andriamanitra izany rehetra izany.

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

Aza manao izay hahatafintohina ny Jiosy na ny jentilisa na ny fiangonan'Andriamanitra,

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

dia tahaka ahy koa manao izay hahafinaritra ny olona rehetra amin'ny zavatra rehetra ka tsy mitady ny mahasoa ahy ihany, fa ny mahasoa ny maro mba hovonjena izy.

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