Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.
1Nolo enim vos ignorare fratres, quoniam patres nostri omnes sub nube fuerunt, et omnes mare transierunt,
2They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
2et omnes in Moyse baptizati sunt in nube, et in mari:
3They all ate the same spiritual food
3et omnes eamdem escam spiritalem manducaverunt,
4and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
4et omnes eumdem potum spiritalem biberunt (bibebant autem de spiritali, consequente eos, petra: petra autem erat Christus):
5Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
5sed non in pluribus eorum beneplacitum est Deo: nam prostrati sunt in deserto.
6These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
6Hæc autem in figura facta sunt nostri, ut non simus concupiscentes malorum, sicut et illi concupierunt.
7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.”
7Neque idololatræ efficiamini, sicut quidam ex ipsis: quemadmodum scriptum est: Sedit populus manducare, et bibere, et surrexerunt ludere.
8We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
8Neque fornicemur, sicut quidam ex ipsis fornicati sunt, et ceciderunt una die viginti tria millia.
9We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
9Neque tentemus Christum, sicut quidam eorum tentaverunt, et a serpentibus perierunt.
10And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.
10Neque murmuraveritis, sicut quidam eorum murmuraverunt, et perierunt ab exterminatore.
11Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
11Hæc autem omnia in figura contingebant illis: scripta sunt autem ad correptionem nostram, in quos fines sæculorum devenerunt.
12So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
12Itaque qui se existimat stare, videat ne cadat.
13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
13Tentatio vos non apprehendat nisi humana: fidelis autem Deus est, qui non patietur vos tentari supra id quod potestis, sed faciet etiam cum tentatione proventum ut possitis sustinere.
14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
14Propter quod, carissimi mihi, fugite ab idolorum cultura:
15I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
15ut prudentibus loquor, vos ipsi judicate quod dico.
16Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
16Calix benedictionis, cui benedicimus, nonne communicatio sanguinis Christi est? et panis quem frangimus, nonne participatio corporis Domini est?
17Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
17Quoniam unus panis, unum corpus multi sumus, omnes qui de uno pane participamus.
18Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
18Videte Israël secundum carnem: nonne qui edunt hostias, participes sunt altaris?
19Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
19Quid ergo? dico quod idolis immolatum sit aliquid? aut quod idolum, sit aliquid?
20No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.
20Sed quæ immolant gentes, dæmoniis immolant, et non Deo. Nolo autem vos socios fieri dæmoniorum:
21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
21non potestis calicem Domini bibere, et calicem dæmoniorum; non potestis mensæ Domini participes esse, et mensæ dæmoniorum.
22Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
22An æmulamur Dominum? numquid fortiores illo sumus? Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia expediunt.
23“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
23Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia ædificat.
24No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
24Nemo quod suum est quærat, sed quod alterius.
25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
25Omne quod in macello venit, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam.
26for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
26Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus.
27If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
27Si quis vocat vos infidelium, et vultis ire: omne quod vobis apponitur, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam.
28But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—
28Si quis autem dixerit: Hoc immolatum est idolis: nolite manducare propter illum qui indicavit, et propter conscientiam:
29the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
29conscientiam autem dico non tuam, sed alterius. Ut quid enim libertas mea judicatur ab aliena conscientia?
30If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
30Si ego cum gratia participo, quid blasphemor pro eo quod gratias ago?
31So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
31Sive ergo manducatis, sive bibitis, sive aliud quid facitis: omnia in gloriam Dei facite.
32Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—
32Sine offensione estote Judæis, et gentibus, et ecclesiæ Dei:
33as I also try to please everyone in all I do. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, that they may be saved.
33sicut et ego per omnia omnibus placeo, non quærens quod mihi utile est, sed quod multis: ut salvi fiant.
