1 Corinthians 10

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 I want you to be quite certain, brothers, that our ancestors al had the cloud over them and al passedthrough the sea.	1 Nolo enim vos ignorare fratres, quoniam patres nostri omnes sub nube fuerunt, et omnes mare transierunt,
2 In the cloud and in the sea they were all baptised into Moses;	2 et omnes in Moyse baptizati sunt in nube, et in mari :
3 al ate the same spiritual food	3 et omnes eamdem escam spiritalem manducaverunt,
4 and al drank the same spiritual drink, since they drank from the spiritual rock which fol owed them,and that rock was Christ.	4 et omnes eumdem potum spiritalem biberunt (bibebant autem de spiritali, consequente eos, petra : petra autem erat Christus) :
5 In spite of this, God was not pleased with most of them, and their corpses were scattered over thedesert.	5 sed non in pluribus eorum beneplacitum est Deo : nam prostrati sunt in deserto.
6 Now these happenings were examples, for our benefit, so that we should never set our hearts, as theydid, on evil things;	6 Hæc autem in figura facta sunt nostri, ut non simus concupiscentes malorum, sicut et illi concupierunt.
7 nor are you to worship false gods, as some of them did, as it says in scripture: The people sat down toeat and drink, and afterwards got up to amuse themselves.	7 Neque idololatræ efficiamini, sicut quidam ex ipsis : quemadmodum scriptum est : Sedit populus manducare, et bibere, et surrexerunt ludere.
8 Nor, again, are we to fall into sexual immorality; some of them did this, and twenty-three thousand mettheir downfal in one day.	8 Neque fornicemur, sicut quidam ex ipsis fornicati sunt, et ceciderunt una die viginti tria millia.
9 And we are not to put the Lord to the test; some of them put him to the test, and they were killed bysnakes.	9 Neque tentemus Christum, sicut quidam eorum tentaverunt, et a serpentibus perierunt.
10 Never complain; some of them complained, and they were killed by the Destroyer.	10 Neque murmuraveritis, sicut quidam eorum murmuraverunt, et perierunt ab exterminatore.
11 Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were described in writing to bea lesson for us, to whom it has fallen to live in the last days of the ages.	11 Hæc autem omnia in figura contingebant illis : scripta sunt autem ad correptionem nostram, in quos fines sæculorum devenerunt.
12 Everyone, no matter how firmly he thinks he is standing, must be careful he does not fall.	12 Itaque qui se existimat stare, videat ne cadat.
13 None of the trials which have come upon you is more than a human being can stand. You can trustthat God wil not let you be put to the test beyond your strength, but with any trial will also provide a way out byenabling you to put up with it.	13 Tentatio vos non apprehendat nisi humana : fidelis autem Deus est, qui non patietur vos tentari supra id quod potestis, sed faciet etiam cum tentatione proventum ut possitis sustinere.
14 For that reason, my dear friends, have nothing to do with the worship of false gods.	14 Propter quod, carissimi mihi, fugite ab idolorum cultura :
15 I am talking to you as sensible people; weigh up for yourselves what I have to say.	15 ut prudentibus loquor, vos ipsi judicate quod dico.
16 The blessing-cup, which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ; and the loaf of bread which we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?	16 Calix benedictionis, cui benedicimus, nonne communicatio sanguinis Christi est ? et panis quem frangimus, nonne participatio corporis Domini est ?
17 And as there is one loaf, so we, although there are many of us, are one single body, for we all sharein the one loaf.	17 Quoniam unus panis, unum corpus multi sumus, omnes qui de uno pane participamus.
18 Now compare the natural people of Israel: is it not true that those who eat the sacrifices share thealtar?	18 Videte Israël secundum carnem : nonne qui edunt hostias, participes sunt altaris ?
19 What does this mean? That the dedication of food to false gods amounts to anything? Or that falsegods themselves amount to anything?	19 Quid ergo ? dico quod idolis immolatum sit aliquid ? aut quod idolum, sit aliquid ?
20 No, it does not; simply that when pagans sacrifice, what is sacrificed by them is sacrificed to demonswho are not God. I do not want you to share with demons.	20 Sed quæ immolant gentes, dæmoniis immolant, et non Deo. Nolo autem vos socios fieri dæmoniorum :
21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons as wel ; you cannot have a share at theLord's table and the demons' table as wel .	21 non potestis calicem Domini bibere, et calicem dæmoniorum ; non potestis mensæ Domini participes esse, et mensæ dæmoniorum.
22 Do we real y want to arouse the Lord's jealousy; are we stronger than he is?	22 An æmulamur Dominum ? numquid fortiores illo sumus ? Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia expediunt.
23 'Everything is permissible'; maybe so, but not everything does good. True, everything is permissible,but not everything builds people up.	23 Omnia mihi licent, sed non omnia ædificat.
24 Nobody should be looking for selfish advantage, but everybody for someone else's.	24 Nemo quod suum est quærat, sed quod alterius.
25 Eat anything that is sold in butchers' shops; there is no need to ask questions for conscience's sake,	25 Omne quod in macello venit, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam.
26 since To the Lord belong the earth and all it contains.	26 Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus.
27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal, go if you want to, and eat whatever is put before you; you neednot ask questions of conscience first.	27 Si quis vocat vos infidelium, et vultis ire : omne quod vobis apponitur, manducate, nihil interrogantes propter conscientiam.
28 But if someone says to you, 'This food has been offered in sacrifice,' do not eat it, out ofconsideration for the person that told you, for conscience's sake-	28 Si quis autem dixerit : Hoc immolatum est idolis : nolite manducare propter illum qui indicavit, et propter conscientiam :
29 not your own conscience, I mean, but the other person's. Why should my freedom be governed bysomebody else's conscience?	29 conscientiam autem dico non tuam, sed alterius. Ut quid enim libertas mea judicatur ab aliena conscientia ?
30 Provided that I accept it with gratitude, why should I be blamed for eating food for which I givethanks?	30 Si ego cum gratia participo, quid blasphemor pro eo quod gratias ago ?
31 Whatever you eat, then, or drink, and whatever else you do, do it al for the glory of God.	31 Sive ergo manducatis, sive bibitis, sive aliud quid facitis : omnia in gloriam Dei facite.
32 Never be a cause of offence, either to Jews or to Greeks or to the Church of God,	32 Sine offensione estote Judæis, et gentibus, et ecclesiæ Dei :
33 just as I try to accommodate everybody in everything, not looking for my own advantage, but for theadvantage of everybody else, so that they may be saved.	33 sicut et ego per omnia omnibus placeo, non quærens quod mihi utile est, sed quod multis : ut salvi fiant.
