1Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ʻe kāinga, ke mou taʻeʻilo, naʻe ʻi he malumalu ʻoe ʻao ʻa ʻetau ngaahi tamai kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu kotoa pē ʻi he tahi;
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.
2Pea naʻe papitaiso kotoa pē ia Mōsese ʻi he ʻao pea ʻi he tahi;
2They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
3Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē ʻi he meʻakai fakalaumālie pe taha;
3They all ate the same spiritual food
4Pea naʻa nau inu kotoa pē ʻi he inu fakalaumālie pe taha: he naʻa nau inu mei he Maka fakalaumālie ko ia ʻaia naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu : pea ko e Maka ko ia ko Kalaisi.
4and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
5Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi fiemālie ʻae ʻOtua ki honau tokolahi: he naʻe tulaki hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa.
5Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
6Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ko e ngaahi fakatātā kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau holi ki he ngaahi meʻa kovi, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau holi kovi.
6These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
7Pea ʻoua naʻa mou tauhi tamapua, ʻo hangē ko honau niʻihi; ʻo tatau mo ia kuo tohi, “Naʻe nofo hifo ʻae kakai ke kai mo inu, pea tutuʻu hake ʻo meʻe.”
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.”
8Pea ʻoua naʻa tau fai feʻauaki, ʻo hangē ko e fai ʻe honau niʻihi, pea tō ai ʻi he ʻaho pe taha ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko tolu afe.
8We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
9Pea ʻoua naʻa tau ʻahiʻahi kia Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiʻahi ʻo honau niʻihi, pea tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae fanga ngata.
9We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
10Pea ʻoua naʻa mou lāunga, ʻo hangē ko e lāunga ʻa honau niʻihi, pea nau ʻauha ʻi he fakaʻauha.
10And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.
11Pea naʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu ko e ngaahi fakaʻilonga: pea kuo tohi ia ko hotau akonakiʻi, ʻakitautolu kuo hoko ki ai hono ngataʻanga ʻoe kuonga.
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.
12Pea ko ia ʻoku mahalo ʻoku ne tuʻu, ke vakai telia naʻa hinga ia.
12So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
13ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻahiʻahi ʻe tō kiate kimoutolu ka ko ia ʻoku faʻa hoko ki he tangata: ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke lahi hono ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa te mou faʻa fai; ka ʻi he ʻahiʻahi ʻe tofa foki ʻe ia ʻae hala ke hao ai, koeʻuhi ke mou faʻa kātaki ia.
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.
14Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, puna mei he tauhi tamapua.
14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15ʻOku ou lea atu ki ke kau tangata poto; mou fakamaau ki heʻeku lea.
15I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
16Ko e ipu ʻoe tāpuaki ʻaia ʻoku mau tāpuakiʻi, ʻikai ko e feohiʻanga ia ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi? Ko e mā ʻoku mau tofitofi, ʻikai ko e feohiʻanga ia ʻi he sino ʻo Kalaisi?
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?
17Pea koeʻuhi ʻoku taha pe ʻae foʻi mā, ko kitautolu ko e tokolahi ko e sino pe taha: he ʻoku tau ʻinasi fakataha ʻi he foʻi mā pe taha ko ia.
17Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
18Vakai ki ʻIsileli fakakakano: ʻikai ʻoku kau fakataha mo e ʻesifeilaulau ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau?
18Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
19Ka ʻoku ou pehē ai ko e hā? Ko ha meʻa koā ʻae tamapua, pe ko ha meʻa ʻaia ʻoku ʻatu ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua?
19Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20ʻE ʻikai ; he ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻe he kakai Senitaile, ʻoku nau feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tēvolo, kae ʻikai ki he ʻOtua: pea ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ke mou feohi mo e ngaahi tēvolo.
20No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.
21ʻOku ʻikai te mou faʻa inu ʻi he ipu ʻae ʻEiki, mo e ipu ʻae ngaahi tēvolo: ʻoku ʻikai te mou faʻa kau ʻi he keinangaʻanga ʻae ʻEiki, mo e keinangaʻanga ʻae ngaahi tēvolo.
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.
22Pea te tau fakafuaʻa ʻae ʻEiki? ʻOku tau mālohi kiate ia?
22Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23ʻOku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē: ʻoku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻoku ʻikai langa hake kotoa pē.
23“Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.
24Ke ʻoua naʻa kumi taki taha hono lelei pe ʻoʻona, ka ki he lelei ʻae niʻihi kehe.
24No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
25ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻoku fakatau ʻi he potu fakatau, kai ia, pea ʻoua naʻa fehuʻi telia ʻae loto:
25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,
26He “ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻae fonua, mo hono fonu ʻo ia.”
26for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”
27Kapau ʻe talaki ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai tui, pea ʻoku mou loto ke ʻalu ki ai; ko ia ʻoku tuku ʻi homou ʻao, kai, pea ʻoua naʻa fehuʻi telia ʻae loto.
27If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.
28Ka ʻoka pehē ʻe ha taha kiate kimoutolu, “Kuo feilaulau ʻaki eni ki he ngaahi tamapua,” ʻoua naʻa mou kai ia, telia ia kuo ne fakahā, pea telia mo e loto foki: he “ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻae fonua, mo hono fonu ʻo ia:”
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—
29ʻOku ou pehē “ko e loto,” kae ʻikai ʻoʻou, ka ʻoe tokotaha: he ko e hā ʻoku fakamaau ai ʻeku tauʻatāina ʻaki ʻae loto ʻoe taha kehe?
29the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?
30He kapau ko ha meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻoku ou maʻu ai ia, ko e hā ʻoku lauʻikovi ai au ʻi he meʻa ko ia ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi ai?”
30If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
31Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou kai, pe inu, pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou fai, fai kotoa pē ke fakaongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua.
31So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
32ʻOua naʻa fai fakaʻita, pe ki he kakai Siu, pe ki he kakai Senitaile, pe ki he siasi ʻoe ʻOtua:
32Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—
33ʻIo, ʻo hangē ko au, ʻoku ou fakafiemālieʻi ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo ʻikai kumi ʻae lelei ʻoʻoku, ka ko e lelei ʻoe tokolahi, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui.
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.
