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

¹Phrala le, chi mangav te na zhanen, ke sa amare dada sas tela nuvero, ai savorhe nakhle andai maria.

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

²Savorhe sas bolde ando Moses tela o nuvero ai ande maria.

³and all ate the same spiritual food;

³Kai savorhe xale iek fielo xamos Devleske.

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

⁴Kai pile savorhe iek pai anda Swunto Duxo; ke penas ka stana baxreske kai avela pala lende: ai kadia stana baxreske sas O Kristo.

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

⁵Numa mai but anda lende nai drago le Devleske: ke but xasaile ande pusta.

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

⁶Akana kodola dieluria kerdile ame kashte te podain amenge te zhanas so kerdilia, kaste te na aven ame chorhe ginduria sar sa le len.

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

⁷Na kerdion kodolendar kai lenpe pala ikoni, sar uni anda lende kai si ramome, le manush beshle tele te xan ai te pen, porme wushtilo opre veselisaile.

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

⁸Na ingeras amaro stato kai kurvia, sar uni anda lende kerde, ai mule anda lende ande iek dies bishtai trin mi.

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

⁹Na zumaven O Krisro sar kerde uni anda lende, ai le sapa xale le.

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

¹⁰Na divinin kontra O Del sar divinisarde won, ai mule anda lende but.

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.

¹¹Kodola dieluria kerdile lenge kaste te podain amenge: ai ramome le kaste te sicharen amen, ame kai sam aresliam kai getolpe e lumia,

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

¹²anda kodia kodo kai gindilpe ande punrhende te arakhelpe te na perel.

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.

¹³Chi iek zumaimos chi kerdiol tumenge te na sai rhevdila: numa O Del kai si chacho, chi mekel te aven zumade mai but sar sode si e zor, numa kana kerdilia amenge vari so, wo lasharel le dieluria te anklia avri anda kodo nasulimos, kashte te sai rhevdisaras les.

¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

¹⁴Anda kodia murhe drazhe, nashen katar le dela chorhe.

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

¹⁵Dav duma sar le manushensa le gojavrensa; keren tume kris so phenav.

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?

¹⁶Kana das o rhugimos pala o daxtai ai piias e mol kai skafidi le Devleski, nai kodia o rat le Kristosko? O manrho kai xas kai skafidi le Devleski nai kodia andek than ando stato le Kristosko?

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

¹⁷Ke si iek manrho ame kai sam but, kerdilia iek stato lestar: ke keras kodia diela ieke manrhesa.

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

¹⁸Dikhen le Zhiduvuria kodola kai xan le masa le zhigeni kai mudaren le, vov si andek than le altariosa.

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

¹⁹So phenav? Ke kodola masa kai shinavel le le devlenge si vari so, vai ke kokola dela lenge si vari so?

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.

²⁰Kanchi nai. Phenav ka kodo kai shinavel les, na le devlenge numa le bengeske, me chi mangav te aven andek than le bengensa.

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.

²¹Nashti pen anda daxtai le Devlesko, ai anda daxtai le bengenge: nashti zhan kai skafidi le Devleski, ai kai skafidi le bengenge.

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

²²Manges te xoliaras le Devles? Sam ame mai zurales lestar?

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.

²³Swako fielo slobodo mange, numa swako fielo chi trobul; swako fielo slobodo, numa swako fielo chi maladiol le manushes.

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

²⁴Porme te na rodel peske mishtimos korkorho, numa savorhe te roden kodo le kavrenge.

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

²⁵Xan swako fielo, so godi bichindiol po bazari, bi te phushen so si katar avel.

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

²⁶Ke e phuv si le Devleski, ai so godi si pe late.

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.

²⁷Te si vari kon kai chi pachalpe ai akharel tume, ai te mangena te xan. Xan so godi anena tume, bi te phushen te dar si vari so kai chi trobul.

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.”

²⁸Numa te phenela tumenge vari kon, kako sas shinado andal le devlenge, na xan, na anda kodo kai shinadia les, ke e phuv si le Devleski, ai so godi si pe phuv.

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

²⁹Kai del duma, na anda tumende, numa anda kodo kai phenel: ande soste keren kris pe murhi ivia anda aver vari kon?

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

³⁰Te xala ai naisiv le Devleske, sostar lav sama?

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

³¹Vai xana, vai pena, so godi keren, keren les te bariaren o anav le Devlesko.

³²Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;

³²Numa na len vorbi kai nai lashe, chi le Grekonge, chi le Zhidovonge, vai chi la khangeriake le Devleski.

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.

³³Sar kai chi sim me, mangav te kerav so godi vorta, chi rodav so si mange mishto, numa so si o mishtimos savorhen.
