OET (OET-LV) Not idolaters be_becoming, as some of_them, as it_has_been_written:
Sat_down the people to_eat and to_drink, and they_stood_up to_be_playing.

OET (OET-RV) Don’t worship idols like some of them did, as it’s written: ‘The people sat down to eat and drink and then stood up to dance to the golden calf.’

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–11:1: Avoid idolatry completely

Paul addressed believers who thought it was acceptable to eat meals in an idol’s temple. First he warned them (10:1–13). He used examples from the Old Testament to show them their danger. Then he commanded them (10:14–22). He said that no one can take part in both the Lord’s Supper and idol feasts. He said that believers are free to eat meat sold in the market place unless this will hurt someone else’s conscience (10:23–30). In summary, he said that believers should control their behavior in two ways. They should praise God in everything they do, and they should not allow their actions to harm another person (10:31–11:1).

Here are some other possible section headings:

Don’t worship idols

Do everything for the glory of God

Paragraph 10:6–10

Paul gave examples from the Hebrew Scriptures to warn the believers. He emphasized that it is dangerous to honor false gods and to commit sexual immorality.

10:7a

Do not be idolaters,

Do not be idolaters: An “idolater” is someone who worships an idol. Some of the ancient Hebrews, and also many people in the city of Corinth, worshiped idols.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

Do not worship idols

Do not worship other gods

10:7b

as some of them were.

as some of them were: This refers to the story of how Aaron led the Hebrew people to worship a golden calf. The word some is an understatement. According to Exodus 32:1–6 almost all the Hebrew people were involved.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

like they did

as they worshiped

10:7c

As it is written:

As it is written: The phrase As it is written introduces a quotation from the Hebrew Scriptures. The quotation provides evidence that many of the Hebrew people worshiped idols.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

As the Scriptures say

We know they worshiped idols because we read in God’s Book

10:7d

“The people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.”

The people sat down to eat and to drink: This is a quote from Exodus 32:6 which says that the Hebrew people ate in the presence of the golden calf idol.

and got up to indulge in revelry: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as to indulge in revelry is more literally “to play.” Sometimes it refers to religious dancing (compare 1 Chronicles 13:8). In Exodus 32, the people shouted, sang, and danced (Exodus 32:17–19). Most commentators agree that this refers to dancing that has sexual overtones. Consider if there is a word or phrase in your language that suggests this. For example:

amuse/indulge themselves

have a wild party

dance immorally

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ὥσπερ γέγραπται

as ˱it˲_˓has_been˒_written

In Paul’s culture, even as it is written was a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text. In this case, the quotation comes from [Exodus 32:6](../exo/32/06.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express how Paul introduces the quotation with a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: [for it can be read in Exodus] or [For in the book of Exodus we read]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

˱it˲_˓has_been˒_written

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on what is written rather than focusing on the person doing the “writing.” If you must state who does the action, you can express it so that: (1) the scripture or scripture author writes or speaks the words. Alternate translation: [Moses has written] (2) God speaks the words. Alternate translation: [God has said]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

γέγραπται, ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν

˱it˲_˓has_been˒_written (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μηδέ εἰδωλολάτραι γίνεσθε καθώς τινές αὐτῶν ὥσπερ γέγραπται Ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαός φαγεῖν καί πεῖν καί ἀνέστησαν παίζειν)

If your language does not use this form, you can translate the command as an indirect quote instead of as a direct quote. Alternate translation: [it is written that the people sat down to eat and to drink and rose up to play]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μηδέ εἰδωλολάτραι γίνεσθε καθώς τινές αὐτῶν ὥσπερ γέγραπται Ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαός φαγεῖν καί πεῖν καί ἀνέστησαν παίζειν)

This quotation comes from a story in which Moses has gone up on a mountain to meet with God. While he is gone, the Israelites make an idol and worship it. This quotation is how their worship is described. Paul chooses this verse because it refers specifically to food sacrificed to idols and to sexual immorality (play, see the next note), which are the topics he has discussed and will again discuss. If your readers are not familiar with this story, you could add a footnote that refers to or summarizes the story.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

παίζειν

˓to_be˒_playing

Here, play is a polite way to refer to sexual behavior. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express play with a comparable polite term. Alternate translation: [to have sex] or [to make love]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

10:7 Feasting and drinking refers to celebrations in honor of pagan gods; pagan revelry suggests wild partying with drinking and sex.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
