1 Corinthians 7
1 Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good to abstain from sexual relations.
Okulubhana na magambo ganu nabhandikiye: Gulio omwanya guli gwa kisi omulume asige omama no mugasi wae.
2 But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
Nawe kulwokusakwa kwamfu kwo bhusiani jiile bhuli mulume abhe no mugasi wae, na bhuli mugasi abhe nomulume wae.
3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
Omulume jimwiile okumuyana omugasi wae agobhutwasi, kutyo kutyo nomugasi ona amuyane omulume wae.
4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
Omugasi atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omulume. Na kutyo kutyo, omulume atana bhuinga ingulu yo mubhili gwae, tali omugasi wae anabhwo.
5 Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again, so that Satan will not tempt you through your lack of self-control.
Mutajaga kwiima mukamama amwi, tali mwikilishanyishe kwo mwanya gwakisi. Mukole kutyo koleleki mubhone omwanya gwo kusabha. Mukamala omutula okusubhilana lindi amwi, Koleleki Shetani ataja kubhalegeja kwo kubhulwa indengo.
6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.
Nawe anaika amagambo ganu bila kulazimisha na gatali chilagilo.
7 I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
Enisigombela bhuli umwi akabhee kama anye kutyo nili. Nawe bhuli munu ana echiyanwa chae okusoka ku Nyamuanga. Unu ana echiyanwa chinu, na uliya ana echiyanwa chiliya.
8 Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am.
Kubhanu bhatatwawe na bhatumba gasi enaikati, nijakisi kubhene ati bhakasigae bila kutwalwa, lwakutyo anye nili.
9 But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
Nawe labha bhatakutula kwiganya, jibheile bhatwalwe. Kulwokubha akili okutwalwa bhataja kuligilana.
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband.
Woli kubhanu bhatwawe enibhayana echilagilo, atali anye tali ni Latabhugenyi. “Omugasi ataja kusigana no mulume wae.”
11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
Nawe labha akasoka kumulume wae, asigale kutyo ataja kutwalwa kala jili kutyo angwane no mulume wae. Na “Omulume atamuyana omugasi wae inyalubha yo kumulema
12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If a brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
Nawe kubhanu bhasigae, enaika anye ati, atali Latabhugenyi- ati labha alio omuili ali no mugasi atali mwikilisha na ekilisishe okwikala nage, jitamwiile kumusiga.
13 And if a woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
Labha omugasi ali no mulume unu atali mwikilisha, na labha ekilisishe okwikala nage, atamusiga.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
Kumulume unu atali mwikilisha kesibhwa okulubhana ne likilisha lyo mugasi wae. No mugasi unu atali mwikilisha kesibhwa kwa insonga yomulume wae omwikilisha. Kenda bhitali kutyo abhana bhemwe bhakabhee bhatali bhelu, nawe kuchimali bhesibhwe.
15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him go. The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.
Nawe atekilisishe akagenda nagende. Kulwejo, omulawasu no muyala wasu atakubhwohya ne bhilailo bhyebhwe. Nyamuanga achibhilikiye chikale kwo mulembe.
16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
Oumenya atiki labha omugasi, labha ulimuchungula omulume wao? Angu oumenya atiki labha omulume, alimukisha omugasi wae?
17 Regardless, each one should lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches.
Bhuli umwi ekale obhulame lwakutyo Latabhugenyi abhagabhiye, bhuli umwi lwakutyo Nyamuanga abhabhilikiye abhene. Bhunu nibhwo obhwisombolo bhwani ku makanisa gona.
18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man still uncircumcised when called? He should not be circumcised.
Alio unu aliga atendelwe anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha? Atalegeja okusoshao olunyamo lwo kutendwa kwae. Alio wona wona unu abhilikiwe mukwikilisha achali kutendwa? Jitamwiile kutendwa.
19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.
Kulinu abhe atendelwe nolo akabha atatendelwe chitalio chibhibhi. Chinu chili chibhibhi ni kulema okugwata ebhilagilo bhya Nyamuanga.
20 Each one should remain in the situation he was in when he was called.
Bhuli umwi asigale mukubhilikilwa kwae kutyo aliga anu abhilikiwe na Nyamuanga okwikilisha.
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let it concern you—but if you can gain your freedom, take the opportunity.
Aliga uli mugaya omwanya gunu Nyamuanga akubhilikiye? Siga okusaswa elyo. Nawe labha outula okwitanya, kola kutyo.
22 For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman. Conversely, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.
Kuumwi unu abhilikiwe na Latabhugenyi kuti mugaya ni munu unu ketanya ku Latabhugenyi. Lwakutyo, oumwi unu ketanya anu abhilikiwe okwikilisha ni mugaya wa Kristo.
23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
Mwamalile kugulwa kwo bhugusi bhunene, kulwejo mutaja kubha bhagaya bha bhanu.
24 Brothers, each one should remain in the situation he was in when God called him.
Bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, mubhulame bhwona bhwona bhuli umwi weswe kutyo chabhilikiwe okwikilisha, chisigale lwakutyo chili.
25 Now about virgins, I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.
Woli, bhanu bhona bhachali kutwala, ntana chilagilo okusoka ku Latabhugenyi. Nawe enibhayana obhwiganilisha bhwani kutyo bhuli. Kwe chigongo cha Latabhugenyi, jinu ejiikanyibhwa.
26 Because of the present crisis, I think it is good for a man to remain as he is.
Kulwejo, eniganilisha kutyo kwa insonga yo kunyansibhwa, nijakisi omulume asigale kutyo ali.
27 Are you committed to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you free of commitment? Do not look for a wife.
Ubhoelwe no mugasi kwe chilailo cho bhutwasi? Utaja kwenda kwitanya okusoka mwicho. Uli no kwitanya okusoka ku mugasi angu uchali kutwalwa? Utayenja mugasi.
28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
Nawe labha ukatwala, uchali kukola chibhibhi. Nalabha omugasi achali kutwalwa akatwalwa, achali kukola chibhibhi. Bado bhanu abhatwalana abhabhona jinyako jabhuli mbaga. Anye enenda nibhakishe nago.
29 What I am saying, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they had none;
Nawe enaikati, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu omwanya ni mufuyi. Okusoka woli no kugendelela, bhanu bhali na bhagasi bhekale kuti bhatanabho.
30 those who weep, as if they did not; those who are joyful, as if they were not; those who make a purchase, as if they had nothing;
Bhona bhanu bhajubhile bhekole kuti bhaliga bhatajubhile, na bhona bhanu bhakondelewe kuti bhatakondelewe, na bhona bhanu abhagula echinu chona chona, kuti bhachaliga kubha na chinu chona chona.
31 and those who use the things of this world, as if not dependent on them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
Nabhona bhanu abhafulubhenda nechalo, bhabhe kuti bhatakufulubhenda nacho. Kulwokubha ebhyainsi bhyajokinga kubhutelo bhwabhyo.
32 I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.
Enenda mubhe no bhwiyaganyulo munyanko jona. Omulume atakutwala afulubhende ne bhinu bhinu bhimwiile Latabhugenyi, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omwene.
33 But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,
Nawe omulume unu atwae kafulubhendela amagambo gechalo, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omugasi wae,
34 and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.
aulene. Omugasi unu atatwawe amwi muyala juma unu kafulubhendela ingulu ye bhinu bhya Latabhugenyi, ingulu yo kwiyaula kubhyomubhili no mwoyo. Nawe omugasi unu atwawe kafulubhenda ingulu ye bhinu bhya kuchalo, ingulu yo kumukondelesha omulume wae.
35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but in order to promote proper decorum and undivided devotion to the Lord.
Enaika kutya ingulu ya libhona lyemwe, na ntatulileo omutego kwimwe. Enaika kutya kwokubha ni chimali, koleleki omutula okwitula mukolelega Latabhugenyi mutabha na chikujulo chona chona.
36 However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.
Nawe labha omunu keganilisha atakutula kumukolela kwa lisima omuyala juma wae, kwa insonga yo bwiganilisha bhae bhuna amanaga muno, siga atwalane nage kutyo kenda. Chitalio chibhibhi.
37 But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.
Nawe labha akolele obhulamusi okulema okutwala, na chitalio chinu cha bhusibhusi, na labha katula okutangasha inamba yae, kakola jansonga labha akalema omutwala.
38 So then, he who marries the virgin does well, but he who does not marry her does even better.
Kulwejo, unu kamutwala omuyala juma wae kakola jabhwana, na wona wona unu kasola okulema okutwala kakola jabhwana muno.
39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, as long as he belongs to the Lord.
Omugasi abhoelwe no mulume wae omwanya gunu achali kufwa. Nawe omulume akafwa, Ali no bhwiyaganyulo okutwalibhwa na wona wona unu kamwenda, nawe ni mu Latabhugenyi ela.
40 In my judgment, however, she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.
Nchali mubhulamusi bhwani, kabha nalikondelewe enene muno akekala kutyo alila. Na eniganilisha ati anyona nino Mwoyo gwa Nyamuanga.
