¹Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

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,

²and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

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

³and all ate the same spiritual food;

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

⁴and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

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

⁵However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

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

⁶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

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

⁷Neither be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Exodus 32:6

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).

⁸Neither let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.

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

⁹Neither let us test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.

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]

¹⁰Neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.

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

¹¹Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

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

¹²Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.

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

¹³No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

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.

¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

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

¹⁵I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.

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

¹⁶The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?

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]

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

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.

¹⁸Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?

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

¹⁹What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

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

²⁰But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.

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.

²¹You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of 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.

²²Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

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

²³“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

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

²⁴Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.

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

²⁵Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,

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

²⁶for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.” Psalm 24:1

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

²⁷But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.

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.

²⁸But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”

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

²⁹Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

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?

³⁰If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for that for which I give thanks?

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

³¹Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

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

³²Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly 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.

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

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.
