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;

¶ Moreover, brothers, I would that ye not ignore how our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea

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

and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea

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

and did all eat 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 did all drink the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was the Christ.

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

But with many of them God was not pleased; therefore, they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 N a, 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 became types of us, that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted.

7 K aua 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 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.

8 K aua 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 commit fornication, as some of them committed and fell dead: in one day, twenty-three thousand.

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

Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them also tempted and perished by the serpents.

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

Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured and perished by the destroyer.

11 N a, 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.

Now all these things happened unto them as types, and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

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

Therefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

13 K ahore 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.

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

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

Therefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

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

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

16 K o 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 blessing which we bless, is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?

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

For one loaf of bread means that many are one body, for we are all partakers of that one loaf.

18 W hakaaroa 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?

Behold Israel after the flesh: are not those who eat of the sacrifices participants of the altar?

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

What do I say then? that the idol is anything or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything?

20 O tira 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 I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should be participants of 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.

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; ye cannot be participants of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.

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

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

23 H e 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 things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.

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

Let no one seek his own good, but that of the other.

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

Whatever is sold in the market, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake;

26 N o te Ariki hoki te whenua me ona tini mea.

for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.

27 K i 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 any of those that do not believe bid you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you asking no questions for conscience sake.

28 K i 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 unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, do not eat it for the sake of him that disclosed it and for conscience sake; for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof:

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

conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other, for why should my liberty be judged by another man’s conscience?

30 K i 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?

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

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

Whether therefore ye eat or drink or whatever ye do, do everything for the glory of God.

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

Be without offense, neither to the Jews nor to the Gentiles nor to the congregation of God;

33 K ia 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.

even as I please everyone in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
