¹And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

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;

²and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea;

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

³and all the same spiritual food did eat,

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

⁴and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;

⁴I 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.

⁵but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

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

⁶and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

⁶¶ Na, hei tohu enei mea ki a tatou, kia kaua tatou e hiahia ki nga mea kino, kei pera me ratou i hiahia ra.

⁷Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;`

⁷Kaua 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.

⁸neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;

⁸Kaua 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.

⁹neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish;

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

¹⁰neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.

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

¹¹And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come,

¹¹Na, 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.

¹²so that he who is thinking to stand — let him observe, lest he fall.

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

¹³No temptation hath taken you — except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].

¹³Kahore 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.

¹⁴Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;

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

¹⁵as to wise men I speak — judge ye what I say:

¹⁵¶ Ko taku korero nei he mea ki te hunga mahara; whakaaroa taku e mea nei.

¹⁶The cup of the blessing that we bless — is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break — is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?

¹⁶Ko 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?

¹⁷because one bread, one body, are we the many — for we all of the one bread do partake.

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

¹⁸See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?

¹⁸Whakaaroa 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?

¹⁹what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? —

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

²⁰[no,] but that the things that the nations sacrifice — they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.

²⁰Otira 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.

²¹Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons;

²¹E 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.

²²do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He?

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

²³All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;

²³¶ He 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.

²⁴let no one seek his own — but each another`s.

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

²⁵Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience,

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

²⁶for the Lord`s [is] the earth, and its fulness;

²⁶No te Ariki hoki te whenua me ona tini mea.

²⁷and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;

²⁷Ki 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.

²⁸and if any one may say to you, `This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,` — do not eat, because of that one who shewed [it], and of the conscience, for the Lord`s [is] the earth and its fulness:

²⁸Ki 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:

²⁹and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another`s conscience?

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

³⁰and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?

³⁰Ki 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?

³¹Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

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

³²become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;

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

³³as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many — that they may be saved.

³³Kia 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.
