1 Corinthians 10 — TOJB
10Verse 1I do not want you to be without da'as, Achim b'Moshiach, that Avoteinu all were under the anan+(cloud) and passed through the sea,+Verse 2And all into Moshe Rabbenu were given tevilah in the anan (cloud) and in the sea,Verse 3And all of the same spiritual okhel (food) ate,+Verse 4And all of the same spiritual drink drank, for they were drinking from a spiritual TZUR following them,+and that TZUR was Moshiach.Verse 5But Hashem was not pleased with most of them, for they were strewn about in the desert, VAYISHCHATEM BAMIDBAR (then He slaughtered them in the desert).+Verse 6Now these things occurred as moftim (examples) for us, in order that we would not crave what is ra'ah as they did.+Verse 7Neither should you become ovdei elilim (idolaters), as some of them did, as it has been written, “And the people sat to eat and to drink and they got up to revel.”+Verse 8Neither should we commit zenut as some of them committed zenut and fell in one day twenty-three thousand.+Verse 9Neither let us tempt Moshiach, as some of them put Moshiach to the test, and by nechashim (serpents) were being destroyed.+Verse 10Neither should we murmur and grumble even as some of them VAYILONU (and they murmured)+and they were destroyed by the destroyer.+Verse 11Now, these things happened to those ones as moftim (examples), but it was written for our admonition, to whom the Kitzei HaOlamim has come.Verse 12So then the one that presupposes that he stands, let him take care lest he fall.Verse 13No nissayon (temptation) has overtaken you, except that which is common to Bnei Adam, but, Hashem is ne'eman (faithful),+who will not let you to be brought into nissayon beyond what you are able, but will make with the nissayon also the derech [Tzaddikim]+as a way out for you to be able to endure.Verse 14Therefore, my chaverim, flee from avodah zarah.Verse 15I speak as to thinking men; you judge what I say.Verse 16The Kos HaBracha (Cup of Blessing) over which we say the Bracha, is it not a [Mizbe'ach] sharing and deveykus participation in the Korban Pesach death and kapporah of Moshiach? The matzoh which we break, is this not a sharing and a deveykus participation in the Guf HaMoshiach?Verse 17Because the matzoh is echad, we, many as we are, are one body, one new humanity, for we all partake of the matzoh echad.Verse 18Observe Yisroel according to the basar. Are not the ones eating the korbanot (sacrifices) partakers of the Mizbe'ach+(altar)?Verse 19What then am I saying? That a sacrifice to an elil (idol) is anything or that an idol is anything?Verse 20No, the things which they sacrifice, YIZB'CHU LASHEDIM LO ELOHIM (They sacrificed to demons which were not G-d).+Now I do not want you to become sharers with the shedim (demons).+Verse 21You are not able to drink from the Kos of Hashem and also from the Kos HaShedim; you are not able to partake of the shulchan of Hashem and the shulchan of shedim (demons).Verse 22Or is it that you would move Hashem to kinah (jealousy)?+We don't think we are stronger than He, do we?+Verse 23“All things are lawful?” But not all things are beneficial; “All things are lawful?” But not all things edify.+Verse 24Let no one seek his own benefit but the benefit of the other.Verse 25Everything being sold in a meat market eat without raising qualms of matzpun (conscience).Verse 26For LAHASHEM HA'ARETZ UMELOAH (The earth is the L-rdʼs and the fullness thereof).+Verse 27If anyone of the Apikorosim invites you and you want to go, eat everything being set before you without raising qualms of matzpun (conscience).Verse 28But if anyone should say to you, “Zeh nizbach l'elil!” (This is sacrificed to an idol!), do not eat out of consideration for that man who informed you and because of matzpun (conscience).Verse 29But I speak not about your matzpun but about the matzpun of the other man, for why is my cherut (freedom) brought into mishpat (judgment) by anotherʼs matzpun (conscience)?Verse 30If I partake with Birkat Hamazon (grace after meals), why am I blamed for what I give todah (thanks)?Verse 31Whether, therefore, you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all things to the kavod (glory) of Hashem.+Verse 32Be without michshol both to Yehudim and to Yevanim and to the Kehillah of Hashem,Verse 33even as I also please Bnei Adam in all things, not seeking my own advantage but that of the many, that they may be brought to Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
