1 W alaalayaalow, anigu dooni maayo inaad garan weydaan siday awowayaasheen oo dhammu daruurta uga wada hooseeyeen, oo ay dhammaantood badda u wada dhex mareen,

For I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, that our forefathers were all under and protected by the cloud, and every one of them passed safely through the Sea,

2 i yo sidii dhammaantood xaggii Muuse loogu baabtiisay daruurta iyo baddaba,

And each one of them to be baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 i yo siday dhammaantood u wada cuneen isku cunto ruuxa ah,

And all ate the same spiritual (supernaturally given) food,

4 o o dhammaantoodna ay u wada cabbeen isku cabbid ruuxa ah, waayo, waxay ka cabbeen dhagaxa ruuxa ah oo ka daba imanayay iyaga, dhagaxuna wuxuu ahaa Masiixa.

And they all drank the same spiritual (supernaturally given) drink. For they drank from a spiritual Rock which followed them, and the Rock was Christ.

5 L aakiin Ilaah kuma farxin badidood, oo waxaa iyaga lagu rogay cidlada.

Nevertheless, God was not pleased with the great majority of them, for they were overthrown and strewn down along in the wilderness.

6 W axyaalahaasi waxay inoo noqdeen masaallo si aynaan waxyaalaha sharka ah u damcin siday iyagu u damceen.

Now these things are examples (warnings and admonitions) for us not to desire or crave or covet or lust after evil and carnal things as they did.

7 O o kuwa sanamka caabuda ha ahaanina siday qaarkood u ahaayeen. Sida qoran, Dadku waxay u fadhiisteen inay wax cunaan oo wax cabbaan, oo waxay u kaceen inay cayaaraan.

Do not be worshipers of false gods as some of them were, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink and rose to sport (to dance and give way to jesting and hilarity).

8 O o yeynan sinaysanin siday qaarkood u sinaysteen oo saddex iyo labaatan kun ay maalin keliya u dhinteen.

We must not gratify evil desire and indulge in immorality as some of them did—and twenty-three thousand fell dead in a single day!

9 O o yeynan jirrabin Rabbiga siday qaarkood u jirrabeen oo ay masasku u baabbi'iyeen.

We should not tempt the Lord as some of them did—and were killed by poisonous serpents;

10 O o ha gunuunacina siday qaarkood u gunuunaceen oo uu baabbi'iyuhu u baabbi'iyey.

Nor discontentedly complain as some of them did—and were put out of the way entirely by the destroyer (death).

11 W axyaalahaasi waxay iyaga ugu dhaceen masaal ahaan, oo waxaa loo qoray in laynagu waaniyo innagoo wakhtiyada dhammaatinkoodii ina soo gaadhay.

Now these things befell them by way of a figure; they were written to admonish and fit us for right action by good instruction, we in whose days the ages have reached their climax (their consummation and concluding period).

12 S idaa daraaddeed kii u malaynaya inuu taagan yahay, ha iska eego inuusan dhicin.

Therefore let anyone who thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall.

13 J irrabaadna idinma qabsan tan dadka wada qabsata mooyaane, laakiin Ilaah waa aamin, mana oggolaan doono in laydin jirrabo intaad karaysaan in ka badan, laakiin markii laydin jirrabo wuxuu samayn doonaa jid aad kaga baxsataan si aad ugu adkaysan kartaan. Sanamcaabudidda Waa In Laga Cararo

For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man '> adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful, and He not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.

14 S idaa daraaddeed, gacaliyayaalow, sanamcaabudidda ka carara.

Therefore, my dearly beloved, shun (keep clear away from, avoid by flight if need be) any sort of idolatry (of loving or venerating anything more than God).

15 W axaan idiinla hadlayaa sida dad caqli leh loola hadlo oo kale. Idinku qiyaasa waxaan leeyahay.

I am speaking as to intelligent (sensible) men. Think over and make up your minds about what I say.

16 K oobka barakada leh ee aynu u ducayno miyaanu ahayn islawadaagidda dhiigga Masiix? Kibistaynu jebinnaa, miyaanay ahayn islawadaagidda jidhka Masiix?

The cup of blessing upon which we ask blessing, does it not mean we participate in and share a fellowship (a communion) in the blood of Christ (the Messiah)? The bread which we break, does it not mean we participate in and share a fellowship (a communion) in the body of Christ?

17 I nnagu in kastoo aynu badan nahay, waxaynu nahay jidh qudha, maxaa yeelay, waxaa jira kibis qudha, waayo, dhammaanteen waxaynu wada qaybsannaa kibista qudha.

For we numerous we are, are one body, because we all partake of the one Bread.

18 E ega reer binu Israa'iil xagga jidhka; kuwa allabaryada cunaa miyaanay la wadaagin meesha allabariga?

Consider those people of Israel. Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners of the altar ?

19 H addaba maxaan leeyahay? Wax sanam loo sadqeeyo waa wax? Ama, sanam baa wax ah?

What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything or that an idol itself is a thing?

20 L aakiin waxyaalaha ay dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn sadqeeyaan, waxay u sadqeeyaan jinniyo, ee Ilaah uma sadqeeyaan. Dooni maayo inaad jinniyada wax la wadaagtaan.

No, I am suggesting that what the pagans sacrifice they offer to demons (to evil spiritual powers) and not to God. I do not want you to fellowship and be partners with diabolical spirits.

21 I skuma wada cabbi kartaan koobka Rabbiga iyo koobka jinniyada. Kama wada qayb geli kartaan miiska Rabbiga iyo miiska jinniyada.

You cannot drink the Lord’s cup and the demons’ cup. You cannot partake of the Lord’s table and the demons’ table.

22 M iyaynu Rabbiga ka hinaasinnaa? Miyaynu isaga ka xoog badan nahay?

Shall we thus provoke the Lord to jealousy and anger and indignation? Are we stronger than He ?

23 W ax waliba waa xalaal, laakiin wax waliba ma roona. Wax waliba waa xalaal, laakiin wax waliba wax ma dhisaan.

All things are legitimate, but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive and edifying.

24 N inna yuusan doonin waxa isaga qudhiisa u roon, laakiin mid kasta ha doono waxa kan kale u roon.

Let no one then seek his own good and advantage and profit, but each one of the other.

25 W ax kasta oo suuqa lagu iibiyo cuna, idinkoo aan waxba weyddiinaynin niyada aawadeed.

eat anything that is sold in the meat market without raising any question or investigating on the grounds of conscientious scruples,

26 W aayo, Rabbigaa leh dhulka iyo waxa ku jira oo dhanba.

For the earth is the Lord’s and everything that is in it.

27 M id ka mid ah kuwa aan rumaysnayn hadduu diyaafad idiinku yeedho oo aad doonaysaan inaad tagtaan, wax kasto oo laydin hor dhigoba cuna, idinkoo aan waxba weyddiinaynin niyada aawadeed.

In case one of the unbelievers invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is served to you without examining into its source because of conscientious scruples.

28 L aakiin haddii laydinku yidhaahdo, Tanu waa wax sanam loo sadqeeyey, ha cunina, kan idiin sheegay aawadiis iyo niyada aawadeed.

But if someone tells you, This has been offered in sacrifice to an idol, do not eat it, out of consideration for the person who informed you, and for conscience’s sake—

29 W axaan leeyahay, niyada kan kale, ee ma aha taada. Waayo, xoriyaddayda maxaa loogu xukumaa mid kale niyadiis?

I mean for the sake of his conscience, not yours,. For why should another man’s scruples apply to me and my liberty of action be determined by his conscience?

30 H addaan mahad kaga qayb galo, maxaa la iigu caayaa wixii aan ku mahadnaqo?

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I accused and spoken evil of because of that for which I give thanks?

31 H addaba haddaad wax cuntaan, ama wax cabtaan, ama wax kastaad samaysaan, dhammaan u wada sameeya Ilaah ammaantiisa.

So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God.

32 W ax lagu turunturoodo ha u noqonina Yuhuudda ama Gariigta ama kiniisadda Ilaah,

Do not let yourselves be an offense to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God '> do not lead others into sin by your mode of life];

33 s idaan aniguba dadka oo dhan uga farxiyo wax kastaba, anigoo aan doonaynin waxa ii roon, laakiin waxa kuwa badan u roon, si ay u badbaadaan.

Just as I myself strive to please all men in everything I do, not aiming at or considering my own profit and advantage, but that of the many in order that they may be saved.
