¹[Fananarana fandrao misy manaram-po araka ny nofo ka tratry ny loza] Fa tsy tiako tsy ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa ny razantsika rehetra dia tambanin'ny rahona, ary izy rehetra namaky ny ranomasina,

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

²ary izy rehetra dia natao batisa ho amin'i Mosesy tao amin'ny rahona sy ny ranomasina,

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

³ary izy rehetra nihinana ny fihinam-panahy iray ihany,

³and all the same spiritual food did eat,

⁴ary izy rehetra nisotro ny fisotrom-panahy iray ihany; fa nisotro tamin'ny vatolampy fanahy izay nanaraka azy izy, ary Kristy izany vatolampy izany.

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

⁵Nefa ny ankabiazany dia tsy sitrak'Andriamanitra, fa naringana tany an-efitra.

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

⁶Ary izany zavatra izany dia tonga anatra ho antsika, mba tsy ho mpila zava-dratsy isika toy ny nilan'ireny.

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

⁷Ary aoka tsy ho mpanompo sampy ianareo tahaka ny sasany amin'ireny, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Ny olona nipetraka hihinana sy hisotro, dia nitsangana hilalao (Eks. 32. 6).

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;`

⁸Ary aoka tsy hijangajanga isika tahaka ny sasany tamin'ireny, ka telo arivo amby roa alina no ringana indray andro.

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

⁹Ary aoka tsy haka fanahy ny Tompo isika, tahaka ny nakan'ny sasany tamin'ireny fanahy Azy, ka matin'ny menarana ireny. [ Na: [an'i Kristy]

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

¹⁰Ary aoka tsy himonomonona ianareo tahaka ny sasany tamin'ireny, izay matin'ny mpandringana.

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

¹¹Ary izany dia nanjo azy mba ho anatra, sady voasoratra izany ho fananarana antsika izay niharan'ny faran'izao tontolo izao.

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,

¹²Koa izay manao azy fa efa mijoro tsara, dia aoka izy hitandrina, fandrao ho lavo.

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

¹³Tsy misy fakam-panahy nahazo anareo afa-tsy izay zakan'ny olombelona; nefa mahatoky Andriamanitra ka tsy hamela anareo halaim-panahy mihoatra noho izay zakanareo; fa momba ny fakam-panahy dia hasiany lalana hahafahanareo koa mba hahazakanareo izany.

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].

¹⁴Koa amin'izany, ry malala, mandosira ny fanompoan-tsampy.

¹⁴Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry;

¹⁵Miteny toy ny amin'ny olo-manan-tsaina aho; heveronareo izay lazaiko.

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

¹⁶Ny kapoaky ny fisaorana izay isaorantsika, tsy firaisana amin'ny ran'i Kristy va izany? Ny mofo izay vakintsika, tsy firaisana amin'ny tenan'i Kristy va izany? [ sy Na: fiombonana]

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?

¹⁷Satria iray ihany ny mofo, dia tena iray ihany isika na dia maro aza; fa isika rehetra dia samy mandray amin'izany mofo iray izany avokoa.

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

¹⁸Indreo ny Isiraely araka ny nofo; moa izay mihinana ny fanatitra tsy mpiombona amin'ny alitara va?

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

¹⁹Inona ary no holazaiko? Mety ho zavatra va ny hena aterina amin'ny sampy, na mety ho zavatra va ny sampy?

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

²⁰Tsia, fa izay zavatra aterin'ny jentilisa ho fanatitra, dia ateriny amin'ny demonia, fa tsy amin'Andriamanitra (Deo. 32. 17); koa tsy tiako ho mpiombona amin'ny demonia ianareo.

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.

²¹Tsy mahazo misotro amin'ny kapoaky ny Tompo sy ny kapoaky ny demonia ianareo; tsy mahazo mihinana amin'ny latabatry ny Tompo sy ny latabatry ny demonia ianareo.

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;

²²Mampahasaro-piaro ny Tompo va isika? Mahery noho Izy va isika?

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

²³Ny zavatra rehetra azo atao, nefa tsy ny zavatra rehetra no mahasoa; ny zavatra rehetra azo atao, nefa tsy ny zavatra rehetra no mampandroso.

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;

²⁴Aoka tsy hisy olona hitady ny hahasoa ny tenany, fa ny hahasoa ny namany.

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

²⁵Izay hena rehetra amidy eny an-tsena dia hano, fa aza manontany akory noho ny fieritreretana;

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

²⁶fa an'i Jehovah ny tany sy izay rehetra eo aminy (Sal. 24. 1).

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

²⁷Ary raha misy amin'ny tsy mino manasa anareo, ka ta-handeha ianareo, dia hano izay arosony eo anoloanareo, fa aza manontany akory noho ny fieritreretana.

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;

²⁸Fa raha misy manao aminareo hoe: Hena naterina tamin'ny sampy io, dia aza homana noho ny amin'ilay nilaza sy ny fieritreretana.

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:

²⁹Fieritreretana, hoy izaho, tsy ny an'ny tenanano, fa ny an'ny olon-kafa; fa nahoana ny fahafahako no dia tsarain'ny fieritreretan'ny olon-kafa?

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

³⁰Fa raha amin'ny fisaorana no andraisako izany, nahoana aho no tenenina ratsy amin'izay anaovako fisaorana?

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

³¹Koa amin'izany, na mihinana na misotro ianareo, na inona na inona ataonareo, dia ataovy ho voninahitr'Andriamanitra izany rehetra izany.

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

³²Aza manao izay hahatafintohina ny Jiosy na ny jentilisa na ny fiangonan'Andriamanitra,dia tahaka ahy koa manao izay hahafinaritra ny olona rehetra amin'ny zavatra rehetra ka tsy mitady ny mahasoa ahy ihany, fa ny mahasoa ny maro mba hovonjena izy.

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

³³dia tahaka ahy koa manao izay hahafinaritra ny olona rehetra amin'ny zavatra rehetra ka tsy mitady ny mahasoa ahy ihany, fa ny mahasoa ny maro mba hovonjena izy.

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