1 Corinthians 7
1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Hinu tilola mambu gala gamwaniyandili, chabwina mgosi akotoka kugega.
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
Nambu ndava ya kuyepa ukemi, ndi kila mgosi avyai na mdala waki mwene, na kila mdala avyai na mgosi waki mwene.
3 Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband.
Mgosi amuhengelayi mdala waki chayiganikiwa, na mdala amuhengelayi mgosi waki chayiganikiwa.
4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
Mdala kawaka uhotola ndava ya higa yaki mwene, nambu avili nawu mgosi waki, mewawa mgosi kawaka uhotola ndava ya higa yaki mwene, nambu mdala waki avili nawu.
5 Do not deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Mkoto kunyimana, nambu ngati muyelewini kukita chenicho kwa lukumbi luhupi ndu, ndi mupatayi nafwasi yabwina ya kumuyupa Chapanga. Ndi muwuyilanayi kavili, Setani akotoka kuvalinga ndava muhotola lepi kudivalila mitima hinu.
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
Malovi aga genikuvajovela malagizu lepi, nambu ndi nivalekekisi muhotola kuhagula.
7 Yet I wish that all men were like me. However, each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
Chakaka, niganili vandu voha vavyai ngati nene, nambu kila mundu apewili njombi yaki mwene na Chapanga, yungi njombi iyi na yungi yila.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
Hinu, kwa vala vangagega na vala valipwela, nikuvajovela kuvya chabwina kuyendelela kutama vene ngati nene.
9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.
Nambu ngati mundu ihotola lepi kujidivalila. Chabwina mundu uyo agega kuliku kuvya na mnogo.
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
Kwa vala vevagegili niwusa mhilu uwu, lepi ya nene ndi kuhuma kwa BAMBU Chapanga. Mdala iganikiwa lepi kulekana na mgosi waki.
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
Ndi ngati alekini nayu, ndi asigalila changali kugegewa, ngati naha lepi, vamtepulanisa na mgosi waki. Na mgosi akotoka kumleka mdala waki.
12 But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
Kwa vangi, Nijova nene lepi BAMBU Ngati mgosi msadika ana mdala mwangasadiki, na mdala mwenuyo ayidikili kutama nayu, na mgosi mwenuyo akoto kumleka mdala waki.
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
Na ngati mdala mweisadika ana mgosi mwanga sadika, na mgosi mwenuyo akayidakila kutama nayu, ndi akotoka kumleka mgosi waki.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
Muni mgosi mwenuyo mwangasadika iyidikiliwa na Chapanga kwa kuwungana na mdala waki, na mdala uyo mwangasadika iyidikiwa na Chapanga kwa kuwungana na mgosi waki. Ngati ngayikotoka kuvya naha vana vavi ngavavi ngati vana va vandu vangammaya Chapanga, nambu hinu ndi vana va Chapanga.
15 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.
Nambu ngati mwangasadika igana kumuleka muyaki mwaisadika, ndi amuleka ndu. Penapo mgosi amala mdala mwaisadika yati ivya hulu. Muni Chapanga avakemili mutama kwa uteke.
16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Veve mdala mwausadika, umanya wuli ngati kuvya ukumsangula mgosi waku? Amala veve mgosi mwausadika umanya wuli ngati kuvya ukumsangula mdala waku?
17 Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.
Kila mundu ayendelela kutama muwumi weapewili na BAMBU ngati cheatamayi pala peakemeliwi na Chapanga, chenichi ndi chanikuvajovela vandu voha kwa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu woha.
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
Ngati mundu akemeliwi kuni adumwili jandu, ndi akotoka kukupakisa kuvya adumwili lepi jandu, na ngati pakemeliwi avili akona kudumula jandu, ndi akotoka kudumula.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is keeping God’s commandments.
Muni, kudumula jandu amala changasindimala jandu chindu lepi, chechiganikiwa kuyidakila mihilu ya Chapanga.
20 Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called.
Hinu, kila mundu avyai ngati cheavili peakemeliwi Chapanga.
21 Were you called being a bondservant? Do not let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
Wu, veve wavili wamvanda pewakemeliwi na Chapanga? Koto kuyoma, nambu ngati ukapatayi fwasi ya kuvya waka kita chenicho.
22 For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.
Muni mwene mwakemeliwi na BAMBU kuni avili mvanda, mwenuyo ndi ilekeswa kwa BAMBU. Mewawa mwakemeliwi kuni alekiswi, ndi ivya mvanda wa Kilisitu.
23 You were bought with a price. Do not become bondservants of men.
Voha muguliwi kwa mashonga gamahele, ndi mkoto kuvya vavanda va vandu.
24 Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
Valongo vangu, kila mmonga winu atamayi wumi wulawula ngati cheakemeliwi, muni Chapanga avi pamonga na nyenye.
25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
Hinu, kugavala gala gemwaniyandikili ndava ya vasongolo vangagega na vasikana vangagegewa kawaka malagizu kuhuma kwa BAMBU, nambu nikuvapela maholo gangu kwa lipyana la BAMBU niganikiwa kusadikiwa.
26 Therefore I think that because of the distress that is on us, it’s good for a man to remain as he is.
Ndi, ndava ya mang'ahiso ga magono aga, hinu chabwina mundu asigalila ngati cheavi.
27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
Wu, ugegili mdala? Hinu koto kulekana na mdala waku. Wakona wangagega? Ndi ukoto kugega.
28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
Nambu ngati ukagegayi ukumbudila lepi Chapanga, kamwali akagegewayi akumbudila lepi Chapanga. Vevigegana yati ving'ahika muwumi wavi, nambu nene nigana ng'ani yikoto kuvakolela nyenye.
29 But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
Valongo vangu, lukumbi lwalusigalili ndi luhupi: Kutumbula lelu vala vevagegili vatamayi ngati vagegili lepi,
30 and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
Vevivemba vavyai ngati vivemba lepi, veviheka vavyai ngati nakuheka, vevigula vavyai ngati kawaka chindu,
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.
vevavi hengela vindu vya mulima uwu vavyai ngati vakuhihengela lepi. Muni mulima uwu uvi papipi kupita.
32 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
Nigana nyenye mukoto kuvya na wogohi. Mundu angagega mdala mwene igana kuhenga lihengu la BAMBU muni ilinga kumganisa BAMBU.
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
Nambu mgosi mweagegili ilola neju mambu ga mulima, kulonda kumganisa mdala waki,
34 There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.
ndi akujibagula mwene chihiga na chimpungu. Mdala mwangagegewa ing'ahika na mambu ga BAMBU ndi awusayi higa na mpungu waki kwa BAMBU. Nambu mdala mwagegiwi ing'ahika na mambu ga mulima ndava ya kumganisa mgosi waki.
35 This I say for your own benefit, not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
Nikuvajovela genaga kwa chiyonjokesu chinu, lepi kuvadivalila kwa gala gemugana kuhenga. Nigana muhenga gegiganikiwa, mpata kumuhengela BAMBU kwa mtima woha changali kuhutwa na mambu gangi.
36 But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He does not sin. Let them marry.
Ngati mundu ilola kuvya akumuhengela lepi chabwina mchumba waki kwa kuhamula kuleka kumugega na lukumbi lupita, kangi mnogu waki nakuuhotola ndi akitayi chaihotola, amugegayi ndu, ivya nakumbudila Chapanga.
37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but has power over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his own virgin, does well.
Nambu ngati mgosi uyo ahamwili kuhuma mumtima waki changali kung'ang'aniswa kuleka kugega, na ihotola lepi kuyileka minogu yaki, ikita chabwina, kuleka kumgega mdala uyo.
38 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage does better.
Mundu mweamwili kugega mdala ikita chabwina, mewa mweangagega mdala ikita chabwina neju.
39 A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
Mdala mweagegiwi ivya akungiwi na mgosi waki kwa lukumbi lwoha mgosi uyo lwaivya mumi. Nambu ngati mgosi waki afwili, mdala uyo ihotola kugegewa na mundu yoyoha, nambu kwa mgosi mweammanyili BAMBU Yesu Kilisitu.
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.
Nambu chenihololela nene, mdala yati ivya na luheku neju ngati isigalila changali kugegewa, niholalela nene mewa nina Mpungu wa Chapanga.
