< 1 Korin 7 >

1 Vaihi loe caa nang tarik o ih baktih toengah kang thuih o han: nongpa mah nongpata sui ai nahaeloe hoih.
Now concerning the thing whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Toe nongpa pongpata zaehaih ayae thai hanah, nongpa boih mah zu tawn nasoe loe, nongpata boih mah sava tawn nasoe.
But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Nongpa mah a zu han paek koi hmuen to kakoep ah paek nasoe: to baktih toengah nongpata mah doeh sava han paek toeng nasoe.
Let the husband render the debt to his wife, and the wife also in like manner to the husband.
4 Nongpata loe angmah ih takpum nuiah akaa tawn ai, a sava mah ni tawnh: to baktih toengah sava mah doeh a takpum nuiah akaa tawn ai, a zu mah ni tawnh.
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Buhzah hoi lawkthuihaih atue patoh thai hanah, atue setta thung nongpa nongpata angkomhaih ayae rae si, tiah palungduehaih om ai ah loe, nongpa nongpata angkomhaih to ayae o hmah: nang sum o thai ai pongah, Setan mah pacuek thai han ai ah, nongpa nongpata angkomhaih to sah o let ah.
Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.
6 Toe hae loe kaalok na ai ni, to tiah sak han oh, tiah sak thaihaih ni ka thuih.
But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.
7 Kami boih kaimah baktih toengah ohsak han ka koeh. Toe kami boih mah Sithaw khae hoi hnuk ih tangqum to tawnh o, maeto mah tawnh ih hmuen to lah moe, kalah maeto mah tawnh ih hmuen doeh lah.
For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.
8 To pongah imthong krah ai kami hoi lamhmainawk khaeah loe hae tiah ka thuih, kai baktiah om o nahaeloe nihcae han hoi tih.
But I say to the unmarried, and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I.
9 Toe angsum o thai ai nahaeloe, imthong krah o nasoe: taksa koehhaih hmai baktiah bet pongah loe imthong krak to hoih kue.
But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt.
10 Imthong krah tangcae kaminawk khaeah lok ka paek, Ka paek ih lok na ai, Angraeng mah paek ih lok ni; zu mah sava to caehtaak hmah nasoe:
But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband.
11 toe caehtaak nahaeloe, sava sah ai ah om nasoe, to tih ai boeh loe sava hoi araemhaih sah let nasoe: sava mah doeh a zu to pakhrah hmah nasoe.
And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.
12 Kalah kaminawk khaeah loe Angraeng mah thui ai, kai mah hae tiah ka thuih: mi kawbaktih nawkamya mah doeh Sithaw tang ai kami to zu ah lak naah, nongpata mah anih hoi nawnto oh han koeh nahaeloe, nongpata to pakhrah hmah nasoe.
For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 To baktih toengah nongpata mah doeh Sithaw tang ai kami khaeah sava sak naah, sava mah anih hoi nawnto oh han koeh nahaeloe, sava to pakhrah hmah nasoe.
And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.
14 Sithaw tang ai sava loe a zu rang hoiah ciim boeh, katang ai a zu doeh sava rang hoiah ciim boeh: to tiah na om o ai nahaeloe, na caanawk loe ciim o mak ai; toe nihcae loe vaihi ciimcai o boeh.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife; and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband: otherwise your children should be unclean; but now they are holy.
15 Toe Sithaw tang ai kami mah caehtaak han koeh nahaeloe, anih mah caehtaak nasoe. To tiah hmuen to om nahaeloe nawkamya nongpa maw, nongpata maw loe misong thungah om ai boeh: toe kamongah khosak han ih ni Sithaw mah aicae hae kawk.
But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.
16 Aw zu nang, na sava to na pahlong thai tih maw, pahlong thai mak ai? To tih ai boeh loe Aw sava nang, na zu to na pahlong thai tih maw, pahlong thai mak ai, tito kawbangmaw na panoek?
For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
17 Sithaw mah kami boih han paek moe, Angraeng mah kami boih kawk baktih toengah anih mah khosak han oh. Kricaabunawk boih mah to tiah khosak hanah ka thuih.
But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one, so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.
18 Tangzat hin aat kami ah anih to kawk maw? To tiah anih to kawk nahaeloe tangzat hin aat ai ah om hmah nasoe. Tangzat hin aat ai kami ah anih to kawk maw? To tiah kawk nahaeloe tangzat hin aat hmah nasoe.
Is any man called, being circumcised? let him not procure uncircumcision. Is any man called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Tangzat hin aah doeh atho om ai, tangzat hin aat ai doeh atho om ai, toe Sithaw ih kaalok pazuihaih to ni lokpui ah oh.
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing: but the observance of the commandments of God.
20 Kami boih Sithaw mah kawk nathuem ih baktih toengah khosah han oh.
Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called.
21 Misong ah na oh naah maw ang kawk? Mawn khing hmah: toe na loih thaihaih atue om nahaeloe, loih thaihaih atue to patoh ah.
Wast thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
22 Misong ah oh naah Angraeng mah kawk ih kami loe, kaloih Angraeng ih kami ah ni oh: to baktih toengah kaloih kami ah oh natheum ah kawk ih kami doeh Kri ih tamna ah ni oh.
For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.
23 Nangcae loe atho hoi qan ih kami ah ni na oh o boeh; to pongah kaminawk ih misong ah om o hma lai ah.
You are bought with a price; be not made the bondslaves of men.
24 Nawkamyanawk, ang kawk o nathuem ih baktih toengah, Sithaw hoi nawnto om o poe ah.
Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.
25 Tangla cuemnawk hanah Angraeng khae hoi lokpaekhaih ka hnu ai: toe oep kaom ah oh hanah Angraeng khae hoi tahmenhaih hnu kami maeto ah ka oh baktih toengah, ka lok khaehhaih to ni ka thuih.
Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful.
26 Vaihi thuem ih atue karai hae poek naah, nongpa loe a oh ih baktih toengah oh poe han hoih, tiah ka poek.
I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.
27 Zu tawn kami ah maw na oh? Ampraek han poek hmah. Zu tawn ai kami ah maw na oh? Zu lak han pakrong hmah.
Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 Toe zu na lak cadoeh, zaehaih na tawn ai; tangla cuem mah sava sah cadoeh, anih loe zaehaih tawn ai. Toe to tiah om kaminawk loe taksa ah raihaih tong o tih: toe kai mah loe to baktih raihaih thung hoi loisak hanah kang koeh haih.
But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.
29 Toe nawkamyanawk, hae tiah ka thuih: atue duemtet pongah, vaihi hoi kamtong zu tawn kaminawk loe zu tawn ai kami baktiah ni om o tih;
This therefore I say, brethren; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;
30 qah kaminawk loe qah ai baktih, anghoe kaminawk loe anghoe ai baktih, kaqan kaminawk loe katawn ai kami baktiah om o tih;
And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
31 hae long nuiah kamtueng hmuennawk hae anghmat boih tom boeh pongah, hae long patoh kaminawk loe patoh ai baktiah om o tih:
And they that use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32 toe mawnhaih na tawnh o han ai ah kang koeh o haih. Zu tawn ai kami loe Angraeng ih palung tong hanah, Angraeng ih toknawk to panki hoiah sak.
But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.
33 Toe zu tawn kami loe a zu koehhaih sak hanah, long nui ih hmuennawk to a poek.
But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided.
34 Sava tawn nongpata hoi tangla cuem loe anghmong ai. Sava tawn ai nongpata loe taksa hoi pakhra ciimcai hmaek thai hanah, Angraeng ih toknawk to panki hoiah sak: toe sava tawn nongpata loe, a sava koehhaih sak pae thai hanah, long nui ih hmuennawk nuiah a poekhaih palungthin to suek.
And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
35 Nangcae raihaih paek han ih na ai ah, nangcae atho oh thai han ih ni hae lok hae ka thuih; khet kamcuk ah kho na sak o moe, poek amkhraeng ai ah Angraeng ih tok na sak o thai han ih ni kang thuih o.
And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.
36 Toe mi kawbaktih doeh sava sak han saning kakoep, kacuem ah kaom tangla to koeh moe, a nuiah khet kamcuk ai ah ka oh moeng boeh pongah, anih to zu ah ka lak han boeh, tiah poek nahaeloe, a koeh baktiah sah nasoe, zaehaih om ai: imthong krah hoi nasoe.
But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.
37 Toe poekhaih kacak, poek angsum thaih, zu lak han angaih ai, zu la ai ah kacuem ah ka oh han, tiah poekhaih tawn kami loe kahoih hmuen ni a sak.
For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.
38 To pongah zu la kami loe kahoih hmuen ni a sak; toe zu la ai kami mah kahoih kue hmuen to sak.
Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.
39 Zu loe sava hing nathung loihhaih om ai; toe sava duek pacoengah loe, a koeh ih kami khaeah sava a sak thaih, anih loe sava khae hoi loih boeh; toe Angraeng ah kahing kami khae khue ah sava sak han oh.
A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.
40 Toe nongpata loe a oh baktih toengah om poe nahaeloe, hoih kue tih, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh: kai doeh Sithaw ih Muithla ka tawnh toeng, tiah ka poek.
But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God.
