| Vers | Kabyle: NT | English: King James Version |
| 2 | Țwaɣeḍsen meṛṛa di tagut-nni akk-d lebḥeṛ mi ddan d Sidna Musa, | And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; |
| 3 | ččan meṛṛa seg yiwen lqut n Sidi Ṛebbi, | And did all eat the same spiritual meat; |
| 4 | swan meṛṛa si lɛinseṛ n Sidi Ṛebbi i d-iteffɣen seg wezṛu iteddun yid-sen ; azṛu-agi, d Lmasiḥ. | And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. |
| 5 | Ɣas akken, aṭas seg-sen ur neɛǧib ara i Sidi Ṛebbi ; daymi i ten-tesseɣli lmut yiwen yiwen mi teddun deg unezṛuf. | But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. |
| 6 | Ayen akken yedṛan yid-sen yeqqim-ed d lemtel i nukni, iwakken ur neṭṭamaɛ ara ayen n diri am akken i t-ṭṭamaɛen nutni. | Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. |
| 7 | Ur țțilit ara am wid iɛebbden ssadaț akken xeddmen kra seg-sen, axaṭer am akken yura di tira iqedsen : Yeqqim wegdud ad yečč ad isew, mi gfukk yekker ad yezhu, ad yecḍeḥ. | Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. |
| 8 | Ur ilaq ara daɣen a nxeddem leɛṛuṛ akken xeddmen kra seg-sen ; daymi deg yiwen n wass, lmut tečča tlata uɛecrin alef deg-sen. | Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. |
| 9 | Ur ilaq ara a njeṛṛeb Sidi Ṛebbi akken i xedmen kra seg-sen, dɣa qqsen-ten izerman mmuten. | Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. |
| 10 | Ur ilaq ara daɣen aț-țesmermugem ɣef wiyaḍ akken i smermugen kra deg-sen armi i ten-issenger lmelk n lmut. | Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. |
| 11 | Timsalin-agi akk i sen-yedṛan, qqiment-ed d lemtel, uran-tent di tektabin, iwakken a nelmed nukni ițɛicin di taggara n lweqt. | Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. |
| 12 | Ihi win iḥesben iman-is ibedd, ad iɛass iman-is ur iɣelli ara ! | Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. |
| 13 | Ayen akk s wayes i tețwajeṛbem, d ayen iwumi yezmer wemdan. Sidi Ṛebbi d bab n lḥeqq, ur yețɛemmid ara aț-țenɛețțabem sennig n tezmert nwen ; lameɛna m'ara tețwajeṛbem, a wen-d-yefk tazmert s wayes ara tṣebṛem d wamek ara tef | There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. |
| 14 | A wid eɛzizen fell-i, xḍut i weɛbad n ssadaț. | Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. |
| 15 | Țmeslayeɣ awen-d am akken țmeslayen i wid ifehmen ; meyyzet kunwi s yiman nwen ɣef wayen i d-qqaṛeɣ. | I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. |
| 16 | Taqbuct n lbaṛaka i ɣef nețḥemmid Sidi Ṛebbi, eɛni ur aɣ-tecrik ara d idammen n Lmasiḥ ? Neɣ aɣṛum i nbeṭṭu, ur aɣ-yecrik ara d lǧețța n Lmasiḥ ? | The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? |
| 17 | Imi yiwen n weɣṛum kan i gellan, ula d nukni nuɣal d yiwet n lǧețța ɣas akken deg waṭas yid-nneɣ i nella, axaṭer ntețț meṛṛa seg yiwen n weɣṛum. | For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. |
| 18 | Walit at Isṛail : wid itețțen seg weksum n iseflawen s weɛbad-nsen, eɛni ur criken ara d wemkan-nni anda i zellun iseflawen ? | Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the alter? |
| 19 | Eɛni bɣiɣ a d-iniɣ belli asfel nni i zellun i ssadaț neɣ ssadaț-nni i țɛebbiden, sɛan lqima ? Xaṭi ! | What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? |
| 20 | Meɛna ayen akka i zellun, zellun-t i leǧnun mačči i Ṛebbi ; nekk ur bɣiɣ ara aț-țcerkem akk-d leǧnun. | But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. |
| 21 | Ur tezmirem ara aț-țeswem si teqbuct n Sidi Ṛebbi ma yella tețțessem si țeqbuct n leǧnun ; ur tezmirem ara daɣen aț-țeččem seg weɣṛum n Sidi Ṛebbi ma yella tețțețțem seg weɣṛum n leǧnun. | Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. |
| 22 | Eɛni nebɣa a nejreḥ ul n Sidi Ṛebbi a d-neskker tismin-is ? Tɣilem tazmert-nneɣ teɣleb tazmert-is ? | Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? |
| 23 | Llan wid i d-iqqaṛen : kullec d leḥlal fell-aɣ ; ț-țideț, lameɛna ur aɣ-yenfiɛ ara kullec. Kullec yețțusemmeḥ-aɣ a t-nexdem, meɛna mačči d kullec i ɣ-yesnernayen di liman. | All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. |
| 24 | Ur țnadit ara ɣef nnfeɛ-nwen kan kunwi, meɛna nadit ɣef nnfeɛ n wiyaḍ. | Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. |
| 25 | Tzemrem aț-țeččem kra n wayen i gețnuzun di ssuq mbla asteqsi, mbla ma tḥebbṛem, | Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: |
| 26 | axaṭer ddunit d wayen akk yellan deg-s d ayla n Sidi Ṛebbi. | For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. |
| 27 | Ma yeɛṛeḍ-ikkun walebɛad ur numin ara s Lmasiḥ, ma tṛuḥem, ččet s neyya mbla asteqsi seg wayen akk ara wen-d-issers. | If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. |
| 28 | Lameɛna ma yella win i wen-d yennan : ayagi yețțunefk d asfel i ssadaț, ur tețțet ara imi i kkun-id ixebbeṛ iwakken ad yethedden wul nwen. | But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: |
| 29 | Mačči ɣef neyya-nwen i d-nniɣ akka, lameɛna ɣef neyya n win i kkun-iɛerḍen. Ihi, acimi ara ǧǧeɣ wayeḍ ad idebbeṛ deg ixemmimen-iw ? | Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? |
| 30 | Ma yella ḥemdeɣ Sidi Ṛebbi ɣef wayen i tețțeɣ, acimi ara ǧǧeɣ iman-iw ad wwten deg-i ɣef lqut i ɣef ḥemdeɣ Sidi Ṛebbi ? | For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? |
| 31 | Ama teččam neɣ teswam, neɣ kra n wayen ara txedmem, xedmet-eț i tmanegt n Sidi Ṛebbi. | Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. |
| 32 | Ur țțilit ara d sebba n uɣelluy ama i wat Isṛail, ama i iyunaniyen, ama i tejmaɛt n Sidi Ṛebbi, | Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: |
| 33 | am akken xeddmeɣ nekk, țnadiɣ a wen-ɛeǧbeɣ meṛṛa di kullec, ur țqellibeɣ ara ɣef nnfeɛ-inu, meɛna țqellibeɣ ɣef nnfeɛ n umur ameqqran deg-wen iwakken ad țwaselken. | Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. |
| 1 | Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; |
