1 Corinthians 10

1 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.

1 فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَجْهَلُوا أَنَّ آبَاءَنَا جَمِيعَهُمْ كَانُوا تَحْتَ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ، وَجَمِيعَهُمُ ٱجْتَازُوا فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ،

2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

2 وَجَمِيعَهُمُ ٱعْتَمَدُوا لِمُوسَى فِي ٱلسَّحَابَةِ وَفِي ٱلْبَحْرِ،

3 They all ate the same spiritual food

3 وَجَمِيعَهُمْ أَكَلُوا طَعَامًا وَاحِدًا رُوحِيًّا،

4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

4 وَجَمِيعَهُمْ شَرِبُوا شَرَابًا وَاحِدًا رُوحِيًّا، لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ صَخْرَةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ تَابِعَتِهِمْ، وَٱلصَّخْرَةُ كَانَتِ ٱلْمَسِيحَ.

5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.

5 لَكِنْ بِأَكْثَرِهِمْ لَمْ يُسَرَّ ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ طُرِحُوا فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ.

6 These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.

6 وَهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ حَدَثَتْ مِثَالًا لَنَا، حَتَّى لَا نَكُونَ نَحْنُ مُشْتَهِينَ شُرُورًا كَمَا ٱشْتَهَى أُولَئِكَ.

7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”

7 فَلَا تَكُونُوا عَبَدَةَ أَوْثَانٍ كَمَا كَانَ أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «جَلَسَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِلْأَكْلِ وَٱلشُّرْبِ، ثُمَّ قَامُوا لِلَّعِبِ».

8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.

8 وَلَا نَزْنِ كَمَا زَنَى أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَسَقَطَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ ثَلَاثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا.

9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.

9 وَلَا نُجَرِّبِ ٱلْمَسِيحَ كَمَا جَرَّبَ أَيْضًا أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَأَهْلَكَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَيَّاتُ.

10 And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.

10 وَلَا تَتَذَمَّرُوا كَمَا تَذَمَّرَ أَيْضًا أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَأَهْلَكَهُمُ ٱلْمُهْلِكُ.

11 Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.

11 فَهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورُ جَمِيعُهَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مِثَالًا، وَكُتِبَتْ لإِنْذَارِنَا نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱنْتَهَتْ إِلَيْنَا أَوَاخِرُ ٱلدُّهُورِ.

12 So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.

12 إِذًا مَنْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ قَائِمٌ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَنْ لَا يَسْقُطَ.

13 No 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.

13 لَمْ تُصِبْكُمْ تَجْرِبَةٌ إِلَّا بَشَرِيَّةٌ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ أَمِينٌ، ٱلَّذِي لَا يَدَعُكُمْ تُجَرَّبُونَ فَوْقَ مَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ، بَلْ سَيَجْعَلُ مَعَ ٱلتَّجْرِبَةِ أَيْضًا ٱلْمَنْفَذَ، لِتَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَحْتَمِلُوا.

14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

14 لِذَلِكَ يَا أَحِبَّائِي ٱهْرُبُوا مِنْ عِبَادَةِ ٱلْأَوْثَانِ.

15 I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.

15 أَقُولُ كَمَا لِلْحُكَمَاءِ: ٱحْكُمُوا أَنْتُمْ فِي مَا أَقُولُ:

16 Is 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?

16 كَأْسُ ٱلْبَرَكَةِ ٱلَّتِي نُبَارِكُهَا، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ شَرِكَةَ دَمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ؟ ٱلْخُبْزُ ٱلَّذِي نَكْسِرُهُ، أَلَيْسَ هُوَ شَرِكَةَ جَسَدِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ؟

17 Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.

17 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ خُبْزٌ وَاحِدٌ، جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ، لِأَنَّنَا جَمِيعَنَا نَشْتَرِكُ فِي ٱلْخُبْزِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ.

18 Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?

18 ٱنْظُرُوا إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ. أَلَيْسَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلذَّبَائِحَ هُمْ شُرَكَاءَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ؟

19 Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?

19 فَمَاذَا أَقُولُ؟ أَإِنَّ ٱلْوَثَنَ شَيْءٌ، أَوْ إِنَّ مَا ذُبِحَ لِلْوَثَنِ شَيْءٌ؟!

20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.

20 بَلْ إِنَّ مَا يَذْبَحُهُ ٱلْأُمَمُ فَإِنَّمَا يَذْبَحُونَهُ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ، لَا لِلهِ. فَلَسْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ شُرَكَاءَ ٱلشَّيَاطِينِ.

21 You 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.

21 لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَشْرَبُوا كَأْسَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَكَأْسَ شَيَاطِينَ. لَا تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَشْتَرِكُوا فِي مَائِدَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي مَائِدَةِ شَيَاطِينَ.

22 Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

22 أَمْ نُغِيرُ ٱلرَّبَّ؟ أَلَعَلَّنَا أَقْوَى مِنْهُ؟

23 “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything is edifying.

23 «كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَحِلُّ لِي»، لَكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تُوَافِقُ. «كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَحِلُّ لِي»، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كُلُّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَبْنِي.

24 No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.

24 لَا يَطْلُبْ أَحَدٌ مَا هُوَ لِنَفْسِهِ، بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَا هُوَ لِلْآخَرِ.

25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,

25 كُلُّ مَا يُبَاعُ فِي ٱلْمَلْحَمَةِ كُلُوهُ غَيْرَ فَاحِصِينَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلضَّمِيرِ،

26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”

26 لِأَنَّ «لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا».

27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat anything set before you without raising questions of conscience.

27 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَدْعُوكُمْ، وَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَذْهَبُوا، فَكُلُّ مَا يُقَدَّمُ لَكُمْ كُلُوا مِنْهُ غَيْرَ فَاحِصِينَ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلضَّمِيرِ.

28 But 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—

28 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالَ لَكُمْ أَحَدٌ: «هَذَا مَذْبُوحٌ لِوَثَنٍ» فَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَاكَ ٱلَّذِي أَعْلَمَكُمْ، وَٱلضَّمِيرِ. لِأَنَّ «لِلرَّبِّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا».

29 the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?

29 أَقُولُ «ٱلضَّمِيرُ»، لَيْسَ ضَمِيرَكَ أَنْتَ، بَلْ ضَمِيرُ ٱلْآخَرِ. لِأَنَّهُ لِمَاذَا يُحْكَمُ فِي حُرِّيَّتِي مِنْ ضَمِيرِ آخَرَ؟

30 If I partake in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?

30 فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَتَنَاوَلُ بِشُكْرٍ، فَلِمَاذَا يُفْتَرَى عَلَيَّ لِأَجْلِ مَا أَشْكُرُ عَلَيْهِ؟

31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

31 فَإِذَا كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ أَوْ تَشْرَبُونَ أَوْ تَفْعَلُونَ شَيْئًا، فَٱفْعَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ.

32 Do not become a stumbling block, whether to Jews or Greeks or the church of God—

32 كُونُوا بِلَا عَثْرَةٍ لِلْيَهُودِ وَلِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ وَلِكَنِيسَةِ ٱللهِ.

33 as 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.

33 كَمَا أَنَا أَيْضًا أُرْضِي ٱلْجَمِيعَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، غَيْرَ طَالِبٍ مَا يُوَافِقُ نَفْسِي، بَلِ ٱلْكَثِيرِينَ، لِكَيْ يَخْلُصُوا.
