١ كورنثوس 7

١ 1 وَأَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلَّتِي كَتَبْتُمْ لِي عَنْهَا: فَحَسَنٌ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ لَا يَمَسَّ ٱمْرَأَةً.

As concerninge the thinges wherof ye wrote vnto me: it is good for a ma not to touche a woman.

٢ 2 وَلَكِنْ لِسَبَبِ ٱلزِّنَا، لِيَكُنْ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ، وَلْيَكُنْ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ رَجُلُهَا.

Neverthelesse to avoyde fornicacio let every man have his wyfe: and let every woman have her husbande.

٣ 3 لِيُوفِ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ حَقَّهَا ٱلْوَاجِبَ، وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضًا ٱلرَّجُلَ.

Let the man geve vnto the wyfe due benevolence. Lykwyse also the wyfe vnto the man.

٤ 4 لَيْسَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ تَسَلُّطٌ عَلَى جَسَدِهَا، بَلْ لِلرَّجُلِ. وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَيْضًا لَيْسَ لَهُ تَسَلُّطٌ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ، بَلْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ.

The wyfe hath not power over her awne body: but the husbande. And lykewyse the man hath not power over his awne body: but the wyfe

٥ 5 لَا يَسْلُبْ أَحَدُكُمُ ٱلْآخَرَ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى مُوافَقَةٍ، إِلَى حِينٍ، لِكَيْ تَتَفَرَّغُوا لِلصَّوْمِ وَٱلصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ تَجْتَمِعُوا أَيْضًا مَعًا لِكَيْ لَا يُجَرِّبَكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ لِسَبَبِ عَدَمِ نَزَاهَتِكُمْ.

Withdrawe not youre selves one from another excepte it be with consent for a tyme for to geve youre selves to fastynge and prayer. And afterwarde come agayne to the same thynge lest Satan tempt you for youre incontinencye.

٦ 6 وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ هَذَا عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلْإِذْنِ لَا عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلْأَمْرِ.

This I saye of faveour not of comaundement.

٧ 7 لِأَنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكُونَ جَمِيعُ ٱلنَّاسِ كَمَا أَنَا. لَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ لَهُ مَوْهِبَتُهُ ٱلْخَاصَّةُ مِنَ ٱللهِ. ٱلْوَاحِدُ هَكَذَا وَٱلْآخَرُ هَكَذَا.

For I wolde that all men were as I my selfe am: but every man hath his proper gyfte of God one after this maner another after that.

٨ 8 وَلَكِنْ أَقُولُ لِغَيْرِ ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجِينَ وَلِلْأَرَامِلِ، إِنَّهُ حَسَنٌ لَهُمْ إِذَا لَبِثُوا كَمَا أَنَا.

I saye vnto the vnmaried men and widdowes: it is good for them yf they abyde eve as I do.

٩ 9 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ لَمْ يَضْبُطُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ، فَلْيَتَزَوَّجُوا. لِأَنَّ ٱلتَّزَوُّجَ أَصْلَحُ مِنَ ٱلتَّحَرُّقِ.

But and yf they canot abstayne let them mary. For it is better to mary then to burne.

١٠ 10 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجُونَ، فَأُوصِيهِمْ، لَا أَنَا بَلِ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَنْ لَا تُفَارِقَ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ رَجُلَهَا،

Vnto the maryed comaunde not I but the Lorde: that the wyfe separate not her selfe from the man.

١١ 11 وَإِنْ فَارَقَتْهُ، فَلْتَلْبَثْ غَيْرَ مُتَزَوِّجَةٍ، أَوْ لِتُصَالِحْ رَجُلَهَا. وَلَا يَتْرُكِ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱمْرَأَتَهُ.

Yf she separate her selfe let her remayne vnmaryed or be reconciled vnto her husbande agayne. And let not the husbande put awaye his wyfe from him.

١٢ 12 وَأَمَّا ٱلْبَاقُونَ، فَأَقُولُ لَهُمْ أَنَا، لَا ٱلرَّبُّ: إِنْ كَانَ أَخٌ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَةٌ غَيْرُ مُؤْمِنَةٍ، وَهِيَ تَرْتَضِي أَنْ تَسْكُنَ مَعَهُ، فَلَا يَتْرُكْهَا.

To the remnaunt speake I and not the lorde. Yf eny brother have a wyfe that beleveth not yf she be content to dwell with him let him not put her awaye.

١٣ 13 وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَهَا رَجُلٌ غَيْرُ مُؤْمِنٍ، وَهُوَ يَرْتَضِي أَنْ يَسْكُنَ مَعَهَا، فَلَا تَتْرُكْهُ.

And ye woma which hath to her husbande an infidell yf he consent to dwell with her let her not put him awaye.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّجُلَ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ مُقَدَّسٌ فِي ٱلْمَرْأَةِ، وَٱلْمَرْأَةَ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَةِ مُقَدَّسَةٌ فِي ٱلرَّجُلِ. وَإِلَّا فَأَوْلَادُكُمْ نَجِسُونَ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَهُمْ مُقَدَّسُونَ.

For ye vnbelevynge husbande is sanctified by the wyfe: and the vnbelevynge wyfe is sanctified by the husbande. Or els were youre chyldren vnclene: but now are they pure.

١٥ 15 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ فَارَقَ غَيْرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِ، فَلْيُفَارِقْ. لَيْسَ ٱلْأَخُ أَوِ ٱلْأُخْتُ مُسْتَعْبَدًا فِي مِثْلِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَحْوَالِ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ دَعَانَا فِي ٱلسَّلَامِ.

But and yf the vnbelevynge departe let him departe. A brother or a sister is not in subiection to soche. God hath called vs in peace.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ كَيْفَ تَعْلَمِينَ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْمَرْأَةُ، هَلْ تُخَلِّصِينَ ٱلرَّجُلَ؟ أَوْ كَيْفَ تَعْلَمُ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّجُلُ، هَلْ تُخَلِّصُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ؟

For how knowest thou o woman whether thou shalt save that man or no? Other how knowest thou o man whether thou shalt save that woman or no?

١٧ 17 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ كَمَا قَسَمَ ٱللهُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، كَمَا دَعَا ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ، هَكَذَا لِيَسْلُكْ. وَهَكَذَا أَنَا آمُرُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْكَنَائِسِ.

but even as God hath distributed to every man. As the lorde hath called every person so let him walke: and so orden I in all congregacios.

١٨ 18 دُعِيَ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ مَخْتُونٌ، فَلَا يَصِرْ أَغْلَفَ. دُعِيَ أَحَدٌ فِي ٱلْغُرْلَةِ، فَلَا يَخْتَتِنْ.

Yf eny man be called beynge circumcised let him adde nothinge therto. Yf eny be called vncircumcised: let him not be circucised.

١٩ 19 لَيْسَ ٱلْخِتَانُ شَيْئًا، وَلَيْسَتِ ٱلْغُرْلَةُ شَيْئًا، بَلْ حِفْظُ وَصَايَا ٱللهِ.

Circumcision is nothinge vncircumcision is nothinge: but the kepyng of the comaundmentes of god is altogether.

٢٠ 20 اَلدَّعْوَةُ ٱلَّتِي دُعِيَ فِيهَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فَلْيَلْبَثْ فِيهَا.

Let every man abyde in the same state wherin he was called.

٢١ 21 دُعِيتَ وَأَنْتَ عَبْدٌ فَلَا يَهُمَّكَ. بَلْ وَإِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَصِيرَ حُرًّا فَٱسْتَعْمِلْهَا بِٱلْحَرِيِّ.

Arte thou called a servaut? care not for it. Neverthelesse yf thou mayst be fre vse it rather.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّ مَنْ دُعِيَ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ وَهُوَ عَبْدٌ، فَهُوَ عَتِيقُ ٱلرَّبِّ. كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا ٱلْحُرُّ ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ هُوَ عَبْدٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ.

For he that is called in the lorde beynge a servaunt is the lordes freman. Lykwyse he that is called beynge fre is Christes servaut.

٢٣ 23 قَدِ ٱشْتُرِيتُمْ بِثَمَنٍ، فَلَا تَصِيرُوا عَبِيدًا لِلنَّاسِ.

Ye are dearly bought be not mennes seruauntes.

٢٤ 24 مَا دُعِيَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِيهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ فَلْيَلْبَثْ فِي ذَلِكَ مَعَ ٱللهِ.

Brethren let everye man wherin he is called therin abyde with God.

٢٥ 25 وَأَمَّا ٱلْعَذَارَى، فَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَمْرٌ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكِنَّنِي أُعْطِي رَأْيًا كَمَنْ رَحِمَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَمِينًا.

As concernynge virgins I have no comaundment of the lorde: yet geve I counsell as one that hath obtayned mercye of the lorde to be faythfull.

٢٦ 26 فَأَظُنُّ أَنَّ هَذَا حَسَنٌ لِسَبَبِ ٱلضِّيقِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ، أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ لِلْإِنْسَانِ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَكَذَا:

I suppose that it is good for the present necessite. For it is good for a ma so to be.

٢٧ 27 أَنْتَ مُرْتَبِطٌ بِٱمْرَأَةٍ! فَلَا تَطْلُبِ ٱلِٱنْفِصَالَ. أَنْتَ مُنْفَصِلٌ عَنِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ! فَلَا تَطْلُبِ ٱمْرَأَةً.

Arte thou bounde vnto a wyfe? seke not to be lowsed. Arte thou lowsed from a wyfe? seke not a wyfe.

٢٨ 28 لَكِنَّكَ وَإِنْ تَزَوَّجْتَ لَمْ تُخْطِئْ. وَإِنْ تَزَوَّجَتِ ٱلْعَذْرَاءُ لَمْ تُخْطِئْ. وَلَكِنَّ مِثْلَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ ضِيقٌ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ. وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي أُشْفِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ.

But and yf thou take a wyfe thou synnest not. Lykwyse if a virgin mary she synneth not. Neverthelesse soche shall have trouble in their flesshe: but I faver you.

٢٩ 29 فَأَقُولُ هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ: ٱلْوَقْتُ مُنْذُ ٱلْآنَ مُقَصَّرٌ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ نِسَاءٌ كَأَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ،

This saye I brethre the tyme is shorte. It remayneth that they which have wives be as though they had none

٣٠ 30 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَبْكُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَبْكُونَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَفْرَحُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَفْرَحُونَ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ،

and they that wepe be as though thy wept not: and they that reioyce be as though they reioysed not: and they that bye be as though they possessed not:

٣١ 31 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَعْمِلُونَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهُ. لِأَنَّ هَيْئَةَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ تَزُولُ.

and they yt vse this worlde be as though they vsed it not. For the fassion of this worlde goeth awaye.

٣٢ 32 فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا بِلَا هَمٍّ. غَيْرُ ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجِ يَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلرَّبِّ كَيْفَ يُرْضِي ٱلرَّبَّ،

I wolde have you without care: the single man careth for the thinges of the lorde how he maye please the lorde.

٣٣ 33 وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجُ فَيَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلْعَالَمِ كَيْفَ يُرْضِي ٱمْرَأَتَهُ.

But he that hath maried careth for the thinges of the worlde howe he maye please his wyfe.

٣٤ 34 إِنَّ بَيْنَ ٱلزَّوْجَةِ وَٱلْعَذْرَاءِ فَرْقًا: غَيْرُ ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجَةِ تَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلرَّبِّ لِتَكُونَ مُقَدَّسَةً جَسَدًا وَرُوحًا. وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُتَزَوِّجَةُ فَتَهْتَمُّ فِي مَا لِلْعَالَمِ كَيْفَ تُرْضِي رَجُلَهَا.

There is differece bitwene a virgin and a wyfe. The single woman careth for the thinges of the lorde that she maye be pure both in body and also in sprete But she that is maryed careth for the thinges of the worlde how she maye please her husband.

٣٥ 35 هَذَا أَقُولُهُ لِخَيْرِكُمْ، لَيْسَ لِكَيْ أُلْقِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَهَقًا، بَلْ لِأَجْلِ ٱللِّيَاقَةِ وَٱلْمُثَابَرَةِ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ دُونِ ٱرْتِبَاكٍ.

This speake I for youre proffit not to tangle you in a snare: but for that which is honest and comly vnto you and that ye maye quyetly cleave vnto the lorde wt out separacion.

٣٦ 36 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ يَعْمَلُ بِدُونِ لِيَاقَةٍ نَحْوَ عَذْرَائِهِ إِذَا تَجَاوَزَتِ ٱلْوَقْتَ، وَهَكَذَا لَزِمَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ، فَلْيَفْعَلْ مَا يُرِيدُ. إِنَّهُ لَا يُخْطِئُ. فَلْيَتَزَوَّجَا.

If eny man thinke that it is vncomly for his virgin if she passe the tyme of mariage ad if so nede requyre let him do what he listeth he synneth not: let the be coupled in mariage.

٣٧ 37 وَأَمَّا مَنْ أَقَامَ رَاسِخًا فِي قَلْبِهِ، وَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱضْطِرَارٌ، بَلْ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى إِرَادَتِهِ، وَقَدْ عَزَمَ عَلَى هَذَا فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يَحْفَظَ عَذْرَاءَهُ، فَحَسَنًا يَفْعَلُ.

Neverthelesse he yt purposeth surely in his herte havynge none nede: but hath power over his awne will: and hath so decreed in his herte that he will kepe his virgin doth well.

٣٨ 38 إِذًا، مَنْ زَوَّجَ فَحَسَنًا يَفْعَلُ، وَمَنْ لَا يُزَوِّجُ يَفْعَلُ أَحْسَنَ.

So then he that ioyneth his virgin in maryage doth well. But he that ioyneth not his virgin in mariage doth better.

٣٩ 39 ٱلْمَرْأَةُ مُرْتَبِطَةٌ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ مَا دَامَ رَجُلُهَا حَيًّا. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَ رَجُلُهَا، فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ لِكَيْ تَتَزَوَّجَ بِمَنْ تُرِيدُ، فِي ٱلرَّبِّ فَقَطْ.

The wyfe is bounde to the lawe as longe as her husband liveth If her husbande slepe she is at liberte to mary with whom she wyll only in the lorde.

٤٠ 40 وَلَكِنَّهَا أَكْثَرُ غِبْطَةً إِنْ لَبِثَتْ هَكَذَا، بِحَسَبِ رَأْيِي. وَأَظُنُّ أَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا عِنْدِي رُوحُ ٱللهِ.

But she is happiar yf she so abyde in my iudgmet And I thinke verely that I have the sprete of God.
