1 Akorinto 6

1 Pamene wina wa inu ali ndi mlandu ndi mnzake, nʼchifukwa chiyani amatengera nkhaniyo kwa anthu akunja kuti akawaweruze mʼmalo mopita nayo kwa oyera mtima?

Doth any one of you, who hath a matter against another, dare to go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the holy?

2 Kodi inu simukudziwa kuti anthu a Mulungu adzaweruza dziko lapansi? Ndipo ngati inu mungaweruze dziko lapansi, kodi sindinu oyenera kuweruza milandu ingʼonoyingʼono?

Or do ye not know, that the holy will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge in causes of the least importance?

3 Kodi simukudziwa kuti mudzaweruza angelo? Nanga bwanji zinthu za mʼmoyo uno!

Know ye not, that we shall pass judgment upon angels? How much more, concerning affairs of this life?

4 Nʼchifukwa chake, ngati pali milandu pa zinthu zotere, sankhani anthu ena kuti akhale oweruza ngakhale alibe udindo mu mpingo.

If then ye have any causes relating to this life, set them to judge who are of no repute in the church.

5 Ndikunena izi kuti ndikuchititseni manyazi. Moti nʼkutheka kuti pakati panu palibe wina wanzeru zokwanira kuti aziweruza mlandu pakati pa Akhristu?

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not one that will be able to judge between his brethren?

6 Koma mʼmalo mwake mʼbale atengera ku bwalo la mlandu mʼbale mnzake kukaweruzidwa. Zonsezi pamaso pa akunja!

Nay, brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.

7 Chokha choti mwakasumirana chikuonetseratu kuti mwagonjetsedwa kale. Bwanji osangolola kuti ena akulakwireni? Bwanji osangolola kuti ena akubereni?

Now therefore it is altogether an evil among you, that ye have suits against each other. Why do ye not rather submit to wrong? Why do ye not rather allow yourselves to be defrauded?

8 Mʼmalo mwake, inuyo ndiye mumabera ena ndi kuwalakwira, ndipo mumachita izi kwa abale anu.

But ye yourselves wrong, and defraud, and that too your brethren.

9 Kodi simukudziwa kuti munthu woyipa sadzalowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu? Musanyengedwe: achigololo, kapena opembedza mafano, kapena achiwerewere, kapena amuna adama, kapena ogonana ndi amuna okhaokha;

Know ye not, that wrongdoers shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 kapena akuba, kapena aumbombo, kapena oledzera, kapena achipongwe, kapena opeza ndalama mwachinyengo sadzalowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu.

nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 Ndipo umu ndi mmene ena mwa inu munalili. Koma munatsukidwa, munayeretsedwa, munalungamitsidwa mʼdzina la Ambuye Yesu Khristu ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu wathu.

And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were made holy, but ye were accepted as righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

12 Inu mumati, “Ine ndili ndi ufulu wochita chilichonse.” Komatu si zonse zimene nʼzothandiza. “Ndili ndi ufulu wochita chilichonse.” Koma sindidzagonjetsedwa ndi chilichonse.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

13 Inu mumati, “Chakudya, kwake nʼkulowa mʼmimba ndipo mimba ntchito yake nʼkulandira chakudyacho.” Koma Mulungu adzawononga zonsezi. Thupi silochitira chigololo, koma la Ambuye, ndipo Ambuye ndiye mwini thupilo.

Meats are for the stomach, and the stomach for meats; but God will make an end of both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

14 Mwamphamvu zake Mulungu anaukitsa Ambuye kwa akufa, ndipo ifenso adzatiukitsa.

and God both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his power.

15 Kodi simukudziwa kuti matupi anuwo ndi ziwalo za Khristu mwini? Kodi tsono ndingatenge ziwalo za Khristu nʼkuzisandutsa ziwalo za mkazi wadama? Zosatheka!

Know ye not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid!

16 Kodi simukudziwa kuti amene amadzipereka kwa mkazi wadama, iyeyo ndi mkaziyo amasanduka thupi limodzi? Paja kunalembedwa kuti, “Awiriwo adzakhala thupi limodzi.”

Know ye not, that he who is connected with a harlot is one body with her? “For the two,” saith he, “shall become one flesh;”

17 Koma amene amadzipereka kwa Ambuye, iyeyo ndi Ambuye amakhala mzimu umodzi.

but he that is connected with the Lord is one spirit with him.

18 Thawani dama. Machimo onse amene munthu amachita amakhala kunja kwa thupi lake, koma amene amachita machimo okhudza chigololo, amachimwira thupi lake lomwe.

Flee fornication. Every other sin which a man may commit, is apart from the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.

19 Kodi simukudziwa kuti thupi lanu ndi Nyumba ya Mzimu Woyera, amene ali mwa inu, amene mwalandira kuchokera kwa Mulungu? Inu simuli panokha ayi.

Know ye not, that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and that ye are not your own?

20 Ndinu ochita kugulidwa. Nʼchifukwa chake lemekezani Mulungu mʼthupi lanu.

For ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.
