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

¹ Zama nya-izey, ay si ba araŋ ma jaŋ ka bay kaŋ iri kaayey kulu goro buru yuuma cire, ikulu na teeko daŋandi mo.

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

² Ikulu du baptisma Musa ra buro da teeko do.

³and all ate the same spiritual food;

³ Ikulu na ŋwaari dumi folloŋ ŋwa kaŋ fun Irikoy do.

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

⁴ Ikulu na hari dumi folloŋ haŋ mo kaŋ fun Irikoy do. Zama tondo kaŋ fun Irikoy do kaŋ go i banda din gaa no i haŋ. Tondo din mo ga ti Almasihu.

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

⁵ Amma i boro boobo, Irikoy mana maa i kaani. A sabbay se no a n'i buukoy say-say ka furu ganjo ra.

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

⁶ Hayey din binde bara misayaŋ iri se, hal iri ma si hari laaloyaŋ bini, mate kaŋ cine ngey wo bini.

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

⁷ Araŋ ma si te tooru ganakoyaŋ mo, mate kaŋ cine i boro fooyaŋ te, mate kaŋ a go hantumante ka ne: «Jama goro ganda zama ngey ma ŋwa ka haŋ, i tun mo zama ngey ma fooru se.»

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

⁸ Iri ma si zina mo, mate kaŋ i boro fooyaŋ te. Zaari folloŋ ra i boro zambar waranka cindi hinza no bu.

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

⁹ Iri ma si Rabbi si mo, mate kaŋ i boro fooyaŋ n'a si, gondey mo n'i halaci.

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

¹⁰ Araŋ ma si jance mo, mate kaŋ i boro fooyaŋ te, i halaci mo halaciyankoyo do.

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.

¹¹ Hayey din kulu te i gaa danga misayaŋ. I n'i hantum mo ka te iri se kaseetiyaŋ hari, iri kaŋ yaŋ zamaney toonandiyaŋ kaa iri gaa.

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

¹² Woodin sabbay se, boro kaŋ go ga tammahã nga go ga kay, a ma haggoy nga ma si kaŋ.

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.

¹³ Siyaŋ kulu mana du araŋ kala day wo kaŋ dumi ga kaa boro kulu gaa. Amma Irikoy ya naanaykoy no kaŋ si ta araŋ ma du siyaŋ kaŋ ga bisa araŋ hina, amma siyaŋo alwaato ra no a ga faaba fondo te araŋ se hal araŋ ma du ka hin a.

¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

¹⁴ Woodin sabbay se, ay baakoy, araŋ ma zuru tooru ganayaŋ se.

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

¹⁵ Ay go ga salaŋ danga laakalkooniyaŋ se, araŋ ma guna haŋ kaŋ ay go ga ci.

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?

¹⁶ Gaasiya kaŋ ra albarka go, kaŋ se iri ga Irikoy sifa, manti nga no g'iri markasina da Almasihu kuro cabe? Buuru kunkuno kaŋ iri ga ceeri mo, manti nga no g'iri markasina da Almasihu gaahamo cabe?

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

¹⁷ Zama buuru kunkuni follonka go no, iri kaŋ ga ti iboobo, iri ciya gaaham folloŋ, zama iri kulu ga margu kunkuni follonka din gaa.

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

¹⁸ Wa guna Israyla* kunda. Borey kaŋ yaŋ go ga sargayey ŋwa kaŋ i kande sargay feema do, manti i ga margu nda sargay feema no?

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

¹⁹ Yaadin gaa, ifo no ay go ga ne? Haŋ kaŋ i sarga tooru se ya hay fo no, wala tooru bumbo ya hay fo no? Abada!

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.

²⁰ Amma haŋ kaŋ dumi cindey go ga sarga toorey se, i go g'a sarga follayey se, manti Irikoy se no. Ay si ba mo araŋ ma margu nda follayey.

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.

²¹ Araŋ si hin ka Rabbi gaasiya haŋ, da follayey wano mo. Araŋ si hin ka margu Rabbi ŋwaaro do, da follayey wano mo.

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

²² Wala iri go ga Irikoy zukku hal a ma canse? Iri ga bis'a gaabi no?

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.

²³ Hay kulu ga halal, amma manti hay kulu no i ga hima ka te. Hay kulu ga halal, amma manti hay kulu no ga jina-koyyaŋ te.

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

²⁴ Boro kulu ma si nga boŋ nafa ceeci, amma day haŋ kaŋ ga nafa te nga gorokasin se.

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

²⁵ Hay kulu kaŋ fawakoy ga neera, araŋ m'a ŋwa. Araŋ ma si hãayaŋ kulu te bine lasaabu fonda ra.

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

²⁶ Zama «Ganda ya Rabbi wane no, nga nda hay kulu kaŋ go a ra.»

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.

²⁷ Da boro kaŋ mana cimandi n'araŋ ce ŋwaari se, araŋ yadda ka koy mo, to, ŋwaari kulu kaŋ i ga jisi araŋ jine, araŋ ma soobay k'a ŋwa. Araŋ ma si hãayaŋ kulu te bine lasaabu fonda ra.

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.”

²⁸ Amma da boro fo ci araŋ se ka ne: «I na woone sarga tooru se», araŋ ma s'a ŋwa, bora din kaŋ n'a cabe araŋ se sabbay se, da bine lasaabu sabbay se mo.

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

²⁹ Manti sanda ni bine lasaabo no ay go ga ne, amma day boro fa din wano. Zama ifo se no i g'ay hina neesi boro fo bine lasaabo boŋ?

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

³⁰ D'ay go ga ŋwa da saabuyaŋ, ifo se no i g'ay jance nda hari laalo, hay fo boŋ kaŋ se ay na Irikoy saabu?

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

³¹ Yaadin gaa, d'araŋ go ga ŋwa, wala araŋ go ga haŋ, wala hay kulu kaŋ araŋ go ga te, kal araŋ ma ikulu te Irikoy darza se.

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

³² Araŋ ma si ciya katiyaŋ hari Yahudancey, wala dumi cindey, wala Irikoy marga se.

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.

³³ Wa ciya danga ay cine, mate kaŋ hay kulu ra ay go ga kaan boro kulu se. Ay s'ay boŋ nafa ceeci, amma boro boobo wane, hal i ma du faaba.
